Overview of Lotus Notes applications in Pylon

Mail overview

Using Pylon Conduit and Pylon Pro from iAnywhere Solutions, you can synchronize your Lotus Notes Mail application on your desktop computer with the native Mail application on your Palm OS or Pocket PC OS device.

You also can create new mail on your device. When you sync, the mail is sent for you and a copy of the mail is placed in your Lotus Notes Inbox for your reference.

Note Mail stored in your Mail (Palm OS) or Inbox (Pocket PC OS) application on your device prior to installing Pylon will not be transferred to the Lotus Notes Mail application on your desktop.

Using Pylon, you can choose what you will sync, including:

■The entire contents, both read and unread, of your Lotus Notes Inbox

■Contents from the last thirty days, both read and unread, of your Lotus Notes Inbox

■Contents from last seven days, both read and unread, of your Lotus Notes Inbox

■Any unread mail only from your Lotus Notes Inbox

■Any of the above with or without Microsoft® Word® and Excel® attachments

You also can decide not to sync your Mail.

If you choose any of the above Mail sync options, you can also specify how Word and Excel attachments are to be handled:

■Download Word attachments (.doc and .rtf files), as Word files or as text appended to the message.

■Download Excel attachments (.xls files).

■Limit total size of binary file attachments per message.

Calendar overview

Note that application names differ slightly on different devices. On older Palm devices, the Calendar application is called Date Book. See Table 4-1, “Application names on different device platforms,” on page 63.

Using Pylon Conduit and Pylon Pro from iAnywhere Solutions, you can synchronize your Lotus Notes Calendar application on your desktop computer with the Pocket PC OS Calendar or Palm OS Calendar/Date Book application on your mobile device.
