Chapter 6
Communicating Using
Your PC Companion
The previous chapter described the features of your PC companion
that help you stay organized. This chapter describes the features that
help you stay connected.
Managing desktop E-Mail:
reply to, compose, and delete e-mail from your Windows desktop
E-Mail application while you're away from your desk.
IR beaming:
companion lets you send data from your PC companion —
including entire applications — to any other Palm OS
that's close by and also equipped with an IR port.
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 Windows desktop
computer. You can read, reply to, compose, and delete e-mail
on your PC companion; but to send or receive e-mail, you must
perform a HotSync
methods include placing your PC companion in the cradle attached to
your computer, or using infrared communications. Indirect methods
include using a modem, or using network HotSync technology.
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 PC 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 PC companion and leave it in your
Inbox, your next HotSync operation marks it as read in your desktop
E-Mail application.
