There are two types of applications you can use to access corporate email on
your Treo 750:

Self-service Xpress Mail is a self-service option for accessing your corporate

email from your Treo 750 without support from your IT department. Using
Xpress Mail with a corporate account enables wireless synchronization of
calendar and contacts, as well as wireless corporate directory lookup.

IT-managed IT-managed email means your company uses Good Mobile

Messaging™ or Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync® (Microsoft Direct Push) to
access corporate email. You need your IT department to establish an account
on a corporate server to use these applications.

Treo 750 21

Did You Know?

The Xpress Mail
software you use to
access your
corporate email is
called the
Professional
Edition, so you see
this name on the

your corporate email, calendar, contacts, and more when your company
has a Good Mobile Messaging Server installed (server license sold
separately). For setup instructions, see the User Guide for your Treo 750.

• Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync provides wireless synchronization

of email, contacts, calendar, and tasks. If your company has Exchange
Server 2003 with Service Pack 2 (SP2) installed, email and other
information may be automatically pushed from the server to your
Treo 750. For setup instructions, see the User Guide for your Treo 750.

Synchronization

Why synchronize information?

Did You Know?

If you set up the
desktop sync
software,
information in the
Favorites
application is
synchronized by
default as well. You
can also change
settings to
synchronize Word,
Excel, PowerPoint,
and PDF files, as
well as pictures,
music, videos, and
other types of files.
See the User Guide.

Synchronizing means that information you enter in one place—your Palm®
Treo™ 750 smart device or your computer—is automatically entered in the
other; so there’s no need to enter the information twice. We recommend
that you sync your Treo 750 with your computer frequently to keep your
information up-to-date (and backed up) in both locations.

The information from the following applications is updated by default each
time you synchronize:

Synchronize for the first time

As part of the first synchronization process, you install the desktop
synchronization software on your computer.

Note: If you have a Windows XP computer, the desktop sync software is called
ActiveSync® desktop software. If you have a Windows Vista computer, the desktop
sync software is called Windows Mobile Device Center. The sync application on
your Treo 750 is called ActiveSync regardless of your computer operating system.

Before You Begin:

make sure your company allows you to install new software. Contact your
company’s IT department for help.

If you are installing the software on a computer at work,

1. Close all programs on your computer.

2. Insert the Windows Mobile Getting Started CD into your computer’s CD
drive.

28 Treo 750

3. Follow the installation instructions that appear on both your computer

USB sync

cable

This button has no function
with your Treo 750

and your Treo 750.

4. When the install program asks you to sync, connect the USB sync cable to
a USB port on your computer and to the socket on the bottom of your
Treo 750.

Here’s how you can tell that synchronization is happening: Look for
the ActiveSync icon (Windows XP) or the connection icon (WIndows
Vista) at the top of your Treo 750 screen. On a Windows XP computer, also
look for the ActiveSync icon in the taskbar on your computer.

After you install the desktop sync software, synchronization takes place
automatically whenever your Treo 750 is connected to your computer and
information has been changed in either location.
