Customizing Hotsync Application Settings - Palm i705 Handbook

synchronize using the HotSync cradle or a modem. However, choosing both

Customizing HotSync Application Settings

For each application, you can define a set of options that determines how records
are handled during synchronization. These options are called a "conduit." By
default, a HotSync operation synchronizes all files between the handheld and
Palm Desktop software.
In general, you should leave the settings to synchronize all files. The only reason
you might want to change these settings is to overwrite data on either your
handheld or Palm Desktop software, or to avoid synchronizing a particular type of
file because you don't use it.
In addition to the conduits for Date Book, Address Book, To Do List, Memo Pad,
and Note Pad, Palm Desktop software includes System and Install conduits, as
well as conduits for MutliMail
application. The System conduit backs up the system information stored on your
handheld, including Graffiti
applications on your handheld. The conduit for MutliMail Deluxe enables you to
select e-mail accounts to synchronize, and the update conduit for the MyPalm
application allows you to receive newer versions of the MyPalm application.
