Guidelines

Your Pocket PC automatically recognizes a wide range of Compact Flash cards
approved for use with Windows CE. If you are ever instructed to install card-specific
Pocket PC drivers provided by a Compact Flash card manufacturer, be sure to install
only device drivers specifically designed for the Windows CE operating system on your
Pocket PC. If you are unclear about installation instructions, call your Compact Flash
card manufacturer for more information.

Some Compact Flash cards consume large amounts of power. To avoid excessive

•

battery drainage when using a Compact Flash card, connect your Pocket PC to AC
power wherever possible.

If the battery is very low, you should not attempt to save data to a Compact Flash

•

card. This may result in the loss of data. First replace the batteries or connect to AC
power.

Do not turn off your Pocket PC or remove the Compact Flash card when you are in

•

the middle of performing an operation, such as saving data to your Compact Flash
card.

Keep your Compact Flash card in a protective casing when not in use to protect

•

from dirt, moisture and static electricity.

Backing Up and Restoring Data

To avoid losing your data in the event that your Pocket PC is lost, stolen, or becomes
damaged, periodic backups to the computer or a Compact Flash card are recommended.
Depending on your usage, you may want to perform a backup as often as once a day.
You can back up and restore your Pocket PC’s data using the following utilities:

ActiveSync Backup/Restore

Pocket PC’s data onto your desktop computer’s hard drive. You can manually back up
data or set this utility to back up automatically each time you connect to your Pocket
PC. For more information, see the ActiveSync online help on your desktop computer.

CF Backup This utility lets you back up and restore your entire Pocket PC’s memory
contents to a Compact Flash storage card (purchased separately). You can then carry a
copy of your data with you at all times for quick retrieval.

Use this ActiveSync utility to periodically back up your

Backing Up Data to a Compact Flash Card

Each time you use the CF Backup utility, your data files, databases, preferences,
Windows CE system data, and applications are copied to the Compact Flash card. You
should use a card at least as big as your Pocket PC’s RAM (Random Access Memory)
size, e.g., 16 or 32 MB.

To perform a backup

Using Inbox

Microsoft Pocket Outlook

Use Inbox to send and receive e-mail messages in either of these ways:

Synchronize e-mail messages with Microsoft Exchange or Microsoft Outlook on

•

your desktop computer.

Send and receive e-mail messages by connecting directly to an e-mail server

•

through an Internet service provider (ISP) or a network.

3

Synchronizing E-Mail Messages

E-mail messages can be synchronized as part of the general synchronization process.
First, you need to enable Inbox synchronization in ActiveSync options. For information
on enabling Inbox synchronization, see the ActiveSync online help on the desktop
computer.

During synchronization:

E-mail messages are copied from the Inbox folder of Exchange or Outlook on your

•

desktop computer to the Inbox folder on your Pocket PC. The e-mail messages on
the two computers are linked, so when you delete an e-mail message on your Pocket
PC, it is also deleted from your desktop computer the next time you synchronize.

E-mail messages in the Outbox folder on your Pocket PC are transferred to

•

Exchange or Outlook, and then sent from those programs.

You can also synchronize e-mail messages with your desktop computer from a

Note:

remote location. For more information, see Chapter 6, “Getting Connected.”

Connecting Directly to an E-Mail Server

In addition to synchronizing e-mail messages with your desktop computer, you can send
and receive e-mail messages by connecting to an e-mail server using a modem or
network card connected to your Pocket PC. You need to set up a remote connection to a
network or an ISP, and a connection to your e-mail server. For more information, see
“Connecting Directly to an E-Mail Server” in Chapter 6.

When you connect to the e-mail server, new messages are downloaded to the Pocket PC
Inbox folder, messages in the Outbox folder are sent, and messages that have been
deleted on the e-mail server are removed from the Inbox.

Messages that you receive directly from an e-mail server are linked to your e-mail
server rather than your desktop computer. When you delete a message on your Pocket
PC, it is also deleted from the e-mail server the next time you connect.

3-13

You can work online or offline. When working online, you read and respond to

Managing E-Mail Messages and Folders

By default, messages are displayed in one of four folders for each service you have
created: Inbox, Deleted (local), Outbox, and Sent. You can move or copy messages
between folders and you can create new folders.

To move or copy a message to another folder

1. Tap and hold the message and then tap

To create a new folder

The Deleted folder contains messages that have been deleted on the Pocket PC. If you

deleted on the e-mail server. The behavior of the Deleted and Sent folders depends on

Folder Behavior With ActiveSync

If you move e-mail messages into a folder you create, the link is broken between these
e-mail messages and their copies on the desktop computer. When you synchronize next,
the e-mail messages in the folder you created will not be synchronized. Also, e-mail
messages that are missing from the Pocket PC Inbox folder will be deleted from the
Inbox folder on the desktop computer so that both Inbox folders match. This prevents
you from getting duplicate copies of an e-mail message, but it also means that you will
no longer have access to the e-mail messages you move out of Inbox except from the
Pocket PC.

3-17

Model 70 Pocket PC User’s Guide

Folder Behavior With A Direct Connection To An E-Mail Server

The behavior of the folders you create depends on whether you are using POP3 or
IMAP4:

If you are using POP3, folders will behave like they do when using ActiveSync.

•

If you are using IMAP4, the folders you create and the messages you move are

•

mirrored on the e-mail server.

For example, if you move two messages from the Pocket PC Inbox folder to a
folder called Family, the e-mail server will create a copy of the Family folder on
your desktop computer and move the messages into that folder. Therefore, messages
are available to you anytime you connect to your e-mail server, whether it is from
your Pocket PC or desktop computer. This synchronization of folders occurs when
you create a new folder, move e-mail messages into a folder, or tap

About the Mobile Favorites Folder

Only links stored in the Mobile Favorites subfolder in the Favorites folder in Internet
Explorer on your desktop computer will be synchronized with your Pocket PC. This
folder was created automatically when you installed ActiveSync. For more information
on synchronization, see the ActiveSync online help on the desktop computer.

During synchronization, the Mobile Favorites folder on your desktop computer is
synchronized with Pocket Internet Explorer on your Pocket PC. Both computers are
updated with changes made to either list each time you synchronize. Note that only the
link is downloaded to your Pocket PC. Unless you mark the link as available offline,
you will need to connect to your ISP or network to view the content.

Creating Mobile Favorites

If you are using Microsoft Internet Explorer 5 on your desktop computer, you can
download mobile favorites. Synchronizing mobile favorites downloads Web content to
your Pocket PC so that you can view Web pages while you are disconnected from your
ISP and desktop computer.
