2. Press the HotSync button on the cable.
3. Click Profiles.

Synchronizing with your
desktop e-mail application
Palm™ Mail is an application that lets you synchronize with the e-mail application on your desktop
computer. You can read, reply to, compose, and delete e-mail on your handheld. To send or
receive e-mail, you simply perform a HotSync operation either locally, using the HotSync cable or
the infrared port on your handheld, or remotely, using an optional modem or a network as
described earlier in this chapter.
The key to Palm Mail is that it truly synchronizes the mail in the Inbox of your desktop e-mail
application with the mail on your handheld. For example, if you delete e-mail items from Palm 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
handheld and leave it in your Inbox, your next HotSync operation marks it as read in your desktop
e-mail application.
In Palm Mail, you can do the following:
View, delete, file, and reply to incoming mail.
Create outgoing e-mail items and drafts of e-mail items.
Create simple or complex filters, which allow you to decide the type of e-mail that your
handheld retrieves from your desktop E-mail application.
Use your handheld and its HotSync cable or with infrared communication to send and retrieve
e-mail items from your desktop e-mail application.
