Communicating Using
Your Organizer
The previous chapter described the features of your Palm IIIxe™
organizer that help you stay organized. This chapter describes the
features that help you stay connected.
■
Managing desktop e-mail
: Using your organizer, you can read, reply
to, compose, and delete e-mail from your desktop e-mail
application while you’re away from your desk.
■
IR beaming
: The infrared port located at the top of your organizer
lets you send data from your organizer — including entire
applications — to any other Palm Computing
®
platform handheld
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 desktop computer. You
can read, reply to, compose, and delete e-mail on your
organizer; but to send or receive e-mail, you must perform a
HotSync
®
operation either directly or indirectly. Direct methods
include placing your organizer 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 organizer. 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 organizer and leave it in your
Inbox, your next HotSync operation marks it as read in your desktop
e-mail application.
