[. . . ] The messages you receive and send through the mail service are stored in these folders. The Deleted Items folder contains messages that have been deleted on your Yakumo alpha GPS. The behavior of the Deleted and Sent Items folders depends on the options you have chosen. Folder Behavior The behavior of the folders you create depends on whether you are using ActiveSync, POP3 or IMAP4. If you use ActiveSync, e-mail messages in the Inbox folder in Outlook are automatically synchronized with your Yakumo alpha GPS. You can select to synchronize additional folders by designating them for ActiveSync. The folders you create and the messages you move are mirrored on the server. For example, if you move two messages from the Inbox folder to a folder named Family and you have designated Family for synchronization, the server creates a copy of the Family folder and copies the messages into that folder. If you use POP3 and you move e-mail messages to a folder you created, the link is broken between the messages on the Yakumo alpha GPS and their copies on the mail server. The next time you connect, the mail server sees that the messages are missing from the Yakumo alpha GPS Inbox and deletes them from the server. This prevents you from having duplicate copies of a message, but it also means that you no longer have access to messages that you move to folders created from anywhere except the Yakumo alpha GPS. 53 If you use IMAP4, the folders you create and the e-mail messages you move are mirrored on the server. Therefore, messages are available to you anytime you connect to your mail server, whether it is from your Yakumo alpha GPS or desktop computer. This synchronization of folders occurs whenever you connect to your mail server, create new folders or rename/delete folders when connected. For all services except ActiveSync, you can access folder options by tapping Tools Manage Folders in the message list. 54 5 Additional Programs In addition to Microsoft Pocket Outlook, several programs are built into your Yakumo alpha GPS. They include Microsoft ActiveSync, Microsoft Pocket Word, Microsoft Pocket Excel, Windows Media Player, Microsoft Reader, Pictures and additional programs. This chapter tells you how to use these programs. 5. 1 Microsoft ActiveSync Microsoft ActiveSync NOTE: ActiveSync is already installed on your Yakumo alpha GPS. (For information on installing ActiveSync, see section 1. 4. ) When you have established the connection between your Yakumo alpha GPS and your desktop computer, you can synchronize the information between the two with ActiveSync. Synchronization compares the data on the two sides and updates both computers with the most recent information. For example, you can: Keep your Pocket Outlook Contacts, Calendar and Tasks databases up-to-date by synchronizing your Yakumo alpha GPS with Microsoft Outlook data on your desktop computer. Synchronize e-mail messages in your Yakumo alpha GPS Inbox with e-mail messages in Microsoft Outlook on your desktop computer. Synchronize Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel files between your Yakumo alpha GPS and desktop computer. With ActiveSync, you can also: Back up and restore your Yakumo alpha GPS data. 55 Copy (rather than synchronize) files between your Yakumo alpha GPS and desktop computer. Pass through your desktop computer to a network or the Internet to perform tasks such as downloading IMAP4 e-mail messages or browsing the Internet on your Yakumo alpha GPS. Ways of Connecting to Your Desktop Computer Caution: Do not shut down or restart your desktop computer while your Yakumo alpha GPS is connected. [. . . ] Do not subject your Yakumo alpha GPS to sudden and severe temperature changes. This could cause moisture condensation inside the unit that could damage your Yakumo alpha GPS. In the event of moisture condensation, allow your Yakumo alpha GPS to dry out completely. Take care not to sit on your Yakumo alpha GPS when it is located in the back pocket of trousers, etc. [. . . ]
