Data on your Palm-size PC is synchronized with the corresponding Schedule+ or
Outlook programs on your desktop computer. New items entered on one computer are
copied to the other.
Freehand drawing you enter on your Palm-size PC are saved on your desktop computer as
metafiles (pictures) and added to Outlook. Freehand drawings are not added to Schedule+.
Inbox
The Inbox and Outbox folders of your desktop computer or e-mail saved with Outlook
are synchronized with the Inbox and Outbox folders of your Palm-size PC. If for some
reason you cannot send or receive e-mail directly from you Palm-size PC, you can
synchronize e-mail messages and use your desktop computer to send and receive.
Under initial default settings, only the first 50 lines of each new message are received
by your Palm-size PC, without any attachments.
Synchronization transfers messages in your Palm-size PC Outbox folder to your
desktop computer, which sends the messages.
For more information about Palm-size PC e-mail operations, see Chapter 4 of this manual.
Files
Voice Recorder, Note Taker file, and other files you create are stored on your Palm-size
PC in a folder named My Documents. You can view these files from your desktop
computer by double-clicking the icon for your Palm-size PC in the Mobile Devices
window.
If file synchronization is enabled (“Changing ActiveSync Options Settings” page 85),
Palm-size PC files are automatically synchronized with files in the folder named <Palm-
size PC> My Documents on your desktop computer. The text <Palm-size PC> in the
actual folder name will be the same as your Palm-size PC name. The name of a folder for
a Palm-size PC named “mypc” for example, would be mypc My Documents. The
location of this folder depends on your desktop computer’s operating system.

(.pwi) files. Note, however, that no all data and formatting is converted. For more
information, see Windows CE Services online help.
