Managing desktop E-Mail
away from your desk
Mail lets you manage the e-mail that you send and receive
through the E-Mail application on your desktop computer. You
can read, reply to, compose, and delete e-mail on your
companion; but to send or receive e-mail, you must perform a
HotSync operation either locally, using the companion cradle, or
®
remotely, using a WorkPad c3 Modem.
The key to Mail is that it truly synchronizes the mail in the Inbox of
your desktop E-Mail application with the mail on your companion.
For example, if you delete e-mail items from Mail, your next HotSync
operation also deletes the e-mail items from your desktop E-Mail
application, so you never have to delete e-mail items twice. Similarly,
if you read an e-mail item on your companion and leave it in your
Inbox, your next HotSync operation marks it as read in your desktop
E-Mail application.
