Synchronization
What is synchronization?
Anytime you are in Email, Calendar, or Contacts, you can set up a
relationship to wirelessly sync data with selected online accounts—for
example, Google or Exchange (sometimes called EAS—check to see if your
company supports this). You must first create an online account with an
online account provider before you can set it up on your phone.
Sync means that if you enter, change, or delete information in one location,
the change automatically shows up in the other location. So if you enter a
Google contact in the Contacts application on your phone, the contact
appears in your online Google contacts—no need to enter it twice.
How do I set up synchronization with an online account?
The first time you open Email, Contacts, or Calendar, you are given the
option to enter settings for one or more online accounts (see

account, you need to enter the settings in only one of these applications to
synchronize data for all three.
You can add accounts at any time using the preferences in any of these
applications (see

Calendar).
You can also set up the Messaging application to work with an online
instant messaging (IM) account (see
account), and the Photos application to work with an online pictures
account such as Facebook or Photobucket (see
account on your
phone).

I don't want to sync calendar or contact information with my
online account—just email
For most online account providers that sync with more than one app—for
example, Google—if you do not want to sync an application with that
provider's online account, you can remove that account from within the
application. The online account continues to sync with any other related
applications.
IMPORTANT
You cannot remove individual Exchange account applications. If
you remove your Exchange account from one application, sync stops with all your
Exchange apps.

I want to sync with Outlook or Palm Desktop software on my
computer
By default, your Pre Plus phone does not support synchronization with Palm
Desktop software or Outlook on your desktop computer. Your Pre Plus
phone, however, gives you options for synchronization without a cable. You
can sync with online services that Palm has partnered with so that you can
store and sync your info in online accounts. You can access your data even
when you are not able to make a connection to the web because your data
is stored on your phone.
If you have data from a Palm smartphone in Outlook or Palm Desktop
software, you can do a one-time, one-way export of the data from the
desktop application to your phone (see
computer?). You can assign this data to sync with an online account. You
can also assign it to the Palm profile account. Data in this account is backed
