create a second Address Book entry for a name that has an existing record. The
procedure is the same as for adding a new Address Book entry. If you tap Add to
Address Book from the body of an e-mail message and a record already exists for
the recipient name, you are prompted either to update the e-mail address for the
recipient or to create a new record for the recipient.
Synchronizing e-mail between the handheld and the desktop
To manage your e-mail on your desktop as well as on your handheld, you can
synchronize an e-mail account on the handheld with an e-mail application on the
desktop. You can use many popular e-mail applications, called
clients , such as
Microsoft Outlook, Eudora, Lotus Notes, Outlook Express, or any other e-mail
clients that use MAPI.
