CHAPTER 5
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 Messaging Application Program Interface (MAPI).
NOTE Synchronizing e-mail works on Windows computers only.
This chapter describes the following:
■ Starting the Palm™ VersaMail™ HotSync
®
Conduit
■ Configuring and activating accounts in the HotSync Manager
■ Synchronizing e-mail on the handheld with a desktop e-mail application
■ Converting attached files using attachment conversion plug-ins, such as those
for DataViz Documents To Go
Configuring an account in HotSync Manager
Before synchronizing an e-mail account, you configure the account’s settings in the

unless you need to make changes.
NOTE The only account you cannot synchronize is your Palm.com account.
To start Palm VersaMail HotSync Conduit
