Your device saves all information, including information on the drive and in program memory, even if the battery drains completely; none of your information is lost. Simply recharge to access the information again. Tip Use Quick Install
(Windows) or the Send To Handheld droplet (Mac) to install applications to program memory. Program memory and the hard drive Your device contains two types of storage: program memory and the 4GB hard drive. 0 Program memory Your device includes 64MB of program memory for Palm OS applications such as Contacts, Calendar, Tasks, and Memos, as well as email messages. Information in program memory is automatically updated when you do a full sync. For example, if you enter contact information on your computer, you can synchronize to update the info in Contacts on your device. The info for each Palm OS applicationfor example, individual contact entriesmay be stored in your devices program memory. You can view and work with this information from within the application itself. You cannot, however, view any info stored in program memory directly using Files or LifeDrive Manager. 0 Hard drive The 4GB hard drive (approximately 3.85GB of memory available to the user) works similarly to other standard USB drives. You can store any type of file, folder, or application on this drive. View and access the contents of the drive using the Files application on your device, or view the contents using LifeDrive Manager
(Windows) or Drive Mode (Mac and Windows) on your computer. You can manage items on the drive in various ways: copying, moving, deleting, renaming, and so on, by using LifeDrive Manager
(Windows) or Drive Mode (Mac and Windows), or Files on your device. When you copy a file or folder from your computer to your device using LifeDrive Manager, you can choose to synchronize that file or folder. Another method of storage that you may already be familiar with is an expansion card. You can view and access files or folders on an expansion card using the Files application on your device, and manage your files on a card using LifeDrive Manager or Drive Mode. LifeDrive from palmOne 81 CHAPTER 5 Moving and Managing Info Between Your Device and Your Computer Tip Be sure to take your USB sync cable with you so that you can connect your device to another computer to synchronize, use LifeDrive Manager, or use Drive Mode. Its a good idea to take your AC charger with you as well, especially if you plan to use Drive Mode to transfer files to another computer. Tip Enter information for applications such as Calendar, Contacts, Memos, and Tasks in Palm Desktop software or Microsoft Outlook on your computer, then do a full sync to transfer the information to your device. You can also access the files on the drive or on an expansion card by opening the corresponding application and browsing to the file. How can I work with information?
There are three main methods for moving and managing information between your device and a computer. These methods are discussed in detail in this chapter. LifeDrive Manager (Windows only) Use LifeDrive Manager to transfer files and folders to your devices drive. LifeDrive Manager instantly copies or moves the items you select. You can choose whether to synchronize items you move using LifeDrive Manager, as well as whether to convert photos and videos for best viewing on your device. Drive Mode Use Drive Mode when your device connected to a Mac computer to move files between a computer and your devices hard drive. Also use Drive Mode to open, move, or copy files on your device when its connected to a Windows computer that does not have LifeDrive Manager installed. While youre using Drive Mode, you cannot use any other feature of your device. Synchronization Synchronization updates and backs up information between your device and your computer. Information entered in one place is automatically updated in the other, and info in your devices program memory and on the hard drive is backed up on your computer. You can synchronize in one of two ways: do a full sync of everything on your device using the sync button on the USB sync cable, or sync selected items on the hard drive using the LifeDrive Manager. You can also synchronize to install applications to your program memory. LifeDrive from palmOne 82 CHAPTER 5 Moving and Managing Info Between Your Device and Your Computer Tip If you are transferring a large video file and choose the Format for device option, you can interrupt the formatting process if, for example, you need to take your device with you away from you desk. When you reconnect your device and your computer, the formatting process picks up where it left off. LifeDrive Manager and Drive Mode Both LifeDrive Manager and Drive Mode let you work with files and folders between your device and your computer. So when would you use one method or the other? Here are some common situations in which you would choose LifeDrive Manager or Drive Mode. LifeDrive Manager LifeDrive Manager is available only on Windows computers. Use it in the following situations:
You are transferring files or folders to your device and want to be able to synchronize them.
You are transferring photos or videos and want to convert them for best viewing on your device.
You are carrying a file that cannot be opened on your device and you want to work with it on another computer.
You want to work on your device during the transfer process. With LifeDrive Manager, you can continue to work with information on your device as files or folders are being moved or copied. You cannot use any of the features of your device when it is in Drive Mode. Drive Mode You can use Drive Mode on both Windows and Mac computers. Use it in the following situations:
You are transferring files or folders to or from a Mac computer.
You are transferring items using a Windows computer that does not have LifeDrive Manager.
You have a file on your device that you want to work with using a computer, but you don't want to copy the file to the computer. With LifeDrive Manager, you must first transfer a file or folder to your computer before you can open or edit the item. With Drive Mode, you can use the Windows Explorer or Finder window to open a file or folder directly from your device. So, for example, if you are a guest at a computer and do not want to put a copy of a confidential file on that computer, you can use Drive Mode to open and work with the file directly on your device. LifeDrive from palmOne 83 CHAPTER 5 Moving and Managing Info Between Your Device and Your Computer Tip When you copy a photo or video to your device, select the option Format for device if you plan to view the item on your device only. Formatting reduces the file size and fits the photo or video to your devices screen. Use the Copy or Keep Synchronized option if you plan to transfer the photo from your device to another computer. This keeps the original file size, resolution, and file type intact. Using LifeDrive Manager NOTE On a Mac computer, use Drive Mode to move files to your devices hard drive. WINDOWS ONLY On a Windows computer, LifeDrive Manager provides a live window to your devices hard drive. Use LifeDrive Manager to copy, move, and manage files and folders on your device. LifeDrive Manager copies and moves items instantly; you do not need to synchronize to transfer the information. With LifeDrive Manager you can work on your device even while transferring files. Using LifeDrive Manager, quickly move and carry large numbers of your important Office files, photos, music, videos, and other files on your device. Use the Files application to access and edit information on your device, or use Drive Mode to access and edit that information when youre connected to a computer that supports external flash drives. LifeDrive Manager is installed automatically when you install Palm Desktop software. When the application is installed, an icon computer screen. Right-click the icon and select menu commands to open LifeDrive Manager or to synchronize all sync items on the drive. appears in the taskbar in the lower-right corner of your When you connect your device to your computer and transfer one or more files or folders into the LifeDrive Manager window, a dialog box appears, asking you how you want the item to be treated. Select one of the following options:
Copy The items are simply copied to your device and are not updated during synchronization. Format for device If you transfer photo or video files to your device, you can choose to convert them to a format that works best on (is optimized for) your device. Converting a photo or video does any or all of the following, if necessary: changes the item to a format that your device can display; rotates the item so that its displayed correctly; and reduces the file to a size that fits your devices screen, resulting in a smaller file size. In some cases, conversion might result in a lower resolution for the photo or video. LifeDrive from palmOne 84 CHAPTER 5 Moving and Managing Info Between Your Device and Your Computer Key Term Sync item A file or folder on your devices hard drive that you choose to synchronize. If you create a sync folder, all items in the folder including any subfoldersare automatically sync items. If you choose the Format for device option, the original photo or video remains in its unchanged format on your computer. If you are transferring a group of photo and/or video files at oncefor example, if you select and drag them all together or if the files are all in one folderyour formatting choice applies to all of the files. You cannot choose to format some files transferred as a group and not others. Keep Synchronized You can choose to make the items you copy sync itemsthat is, items that are updated when you synchronize your device with your computer. If you select this option, any changes you make to the file or folder in one location (device or computer) are made automatically in the other the next time you synchronize. If you transfer multiple files or folders at once, your synchronization choice applies to all of the items; you cannot choose to synchronize some but not others. NOTE If you transfer a file or folder into a folder that displays the sync item icon
, the item becomes a sync item even if you choose Copy or Format for device. However, the item synchronizes to the corresponding sync folder on your computer, not to the original file or folder. So you have two versions of the file or folder on your computer: the original one in its original location (which does not sync), and the new one in the sync folder (which does sync). For example, suppose you copy a music file called MySong in the MyMusic folder on your computer to the Music folder on your device, which you have set as a sync folder. You choose Copy during the transfer. Because the Music folder is a sync folder, when you synchronize, a copy of the Music folder containing the file MySong appears on your computer. However, the original file MySong remains in the MyMusic folder on your computer and is not synchronized. Transferring information using the LifeDrive Manager icon If you want your files or folders to go to a default location on your device, you can simply drag the items onto the LifeDrive Manager icon on your computer. LifeDrive Manager copies the items to a specific location on your devices drive depending on the file types. LifeDrive from palmOne 85 CHAPTER 5 Moving and Managing Info Between Your Device and Your Computer Key Term Root level The top level of the hard drive, that is, the level of files and folders you see when you click the drive icon itself. Tip If you copy a group of files or folders to the root level of your devices drive, you can then use the LifeDrive Manager window to move those items to the locations you want on the drive. Default folders: Applications, Documents, Music, Photos & Videos LifeDrive Manager copies the items to one of these four folders if both of the following are true:
All of the items you drag to the LifeDrive Manager icon are of a type associated with one of these foldersfor example, JPG, BMP, and ASF files that are associated with the Photos & Video folder.

With a corporate email account, you may be able to access Microsoft Exchange, IBM Lotus Domino, or Sun iPlanet mail servers, among others.
The name of the outgoing mail (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol, or SMTP) server
Your accounts security feature (if it has one), such as Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), Authenticated Post Office Protocol (APOP), or Extended Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (ESMTP) Using a corporate email account If you want to access email on your device using your corporate email account, you create this account in exactly the same way that you would with any other account, with one exception: For a corporate email account, you may need to set up a virtual private network (VPN). If your company has a Wi-Fi wireless technology network or a Bluetooth wireless technology access point located behind the corporate firewall, you may not need to set up a VPN to access your corporate email account. See the next section for details. To set up a corporate email account, you need certain information. Check with your companys server administrator to obtain the following:
Username and password This might be your Windows username and password, your Lotus Notes ID username and password, or something else. Protocol Most corporate mail servers use the IMAP protocol for retrieving mail. In rare cases, your company server may use the POP protocol. NOTE Some corporate mail servers do not use either protocol. In this case, you cannot send and receive email wirelessly using VersaMail. You can, however, synchronize email on your device with email in Outlook or Lotus Notes on your computer (Windows only). Incoming and outgoing mail server settings Check with your companys server administrator to obtain these settings. NOTE If your corporate mail system uses Microsoft Exchange Server 2003, you may be able to set up an account that uses Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync on your device. For more information, see Working with Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync. LifeDrive from palmOne 334 CHAPTER 18 Sending and Receiving Email Messages VPNs If you want to access email on your device using your corporate email account, you may need to set up a virtual private network (VPN) on your device. A VPN enables you to log in to your corporate mail server through the companys firewall (security layer). Without a VPN, you cannot pass through the firewall to gain access to the mail server. You need to set up a VPN to access corporate email in either of the following situations:
Your companys wireless local area network (LAN) is located outside the firewall.
Your companys wireless LAN is located inside the firewall, but you are trying to access the network from outside the firewall (for example, from a public location or at home). Check with your companys server administrator to see if a VPN is required for you to access the corporate network. Your device software installation CD contains a link to purchase and download VPN software for the device. Once you purchase and download the software, you set up a VPN connection in Preferences on your device. If you are using a VPN connection, make sure the connection is on in VersaMail. In the message list, open the Options menu, and then select Turn VPN On. NOTE The Auto Sync feature in VersaMail may not work with a VPN connection. Also, you cannot use scheduled sending retry of email with accounts that use a VPN connection. LifeDrive from palmOne 335 CHAPTER 18 Sending and Receiving Email Messages Connecting to a VPN After you set up a VPN, you need to connect to it in order to retrieve email messages from your corporate mail server. You may need to connect to the VPN each time you open VersaMail to retrieve messages from the server. 0 1 2 Go to Favorites and select VersaMail

Done LifeDrive from palmOne 336 CHAPTER 18 Sending and Receiving Email Messages Creating an account Before you can use the VersaMail application with a given email account, you need to set up the account in VersaMail. If you have multiple email accounts, you must set up a VersaMail account for each one. You have three setup options:
On a Windows computer, if the email account is already set up on your computerfor example, if you use Outlook Express on your computer to access your Earthlink accountyou can transfer the account settings to your device in just a few steps.
On a Windows computer, if this is a new account, you can quickly set up the account on your computer and synchronize the information to your device. The steps for setting up an account on your computer depend on whether you are using a common email provider such as Earthlink or Yahoo! or whether you are using a less common provider.
For either a new or an existing account, you can set up the account directly on your device. If you are setting up a Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync account to synchronize email and Calendar information with info in Microsoft Exchange Server 2003, see Working with Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync for setup instructions. You can open VersaMail account setup in one of two ways:
During software CD installation, select the option to set up your email software on the final installation screen.
From the Start menu, select Programs, navigate to the palmOne program group, and then select VersaMail Setup. IMPORTANT If you plan to synchronize your new device using an existing username from
another device, you must do so before you enter your email account information in VersaMail.

If you create a filter, only messages that meet the filter criteria are downloaded to your device. You dont see any other messages that have been sent to you, even in your Inbox. To avoid this, you must set up two filters. For example, suppose you create a filter to have all messages with onlinebroker in the From field moved to your Finance folder. You must then create a second filter specifying that all mail not containing onlinebroker in the From field should be moved to the Inbox (or other folder you designate). If you dont create this second filter, only messages containing onlinebroker in the From field are downloaded to your device. LifeDrive from palmOne 403 SECOND DRAFT palmOne, Inc.

Synchronizing IMAP mail folders wirelessly If you create an IMAP folder in an account on your device that matches a folder on the mail server, you can wirelessly synchronize email messages that you move into or out of the IMAP folder or that you delete in the folder with messages on your device.

Prerequisites for wireless IMAP folder synchronization Depending on how you have set up IMAP folders on your device and/or the mail server, you may need to do one of the following before you can wirelessly synchronize email messages on your device with messages on the server:
If you need to create a folder on both your device and the server, create the folder on your device and check the Also create on server box. If there is a folder on the mail server but you need to create it on your device, you do not need to check the Also create on server box.

For most email providers that support SSL, you must select SSL for both If you set up an account that uses an SSL connection on Outlook, Outlook Express, or Eudora, then SSL is supported in the VersaMail conduit when you synchronize with that account as well. You cannot use scheduled sending retry of email with accounts that use an SSL connection. Working with Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync If your corporate email system uses Microsoft Exchange Server 2003, you may be able to use Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync on your device. Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync works with the VersaMail and Calendar applications on your device to directly download email and calendar information from the serverwithout going through your desktop computer. When you create a Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync account in the VersaMail application, both your email and calendar info synchronize directly with info on the Exchange server; they do not synchronize with info in your desktop software application, such as Palm Desktop software or Microsoft Outlook. Other information on your device, such as contacts, tasks, and memos, continues to synchronize with information in your desktop software application. What do I need to use Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync?
To use Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync on your device, you must obtain the following information from your system administrator:
Whether the corporate mail system uses a Microsoft Exchange 2003 mail server. If it does not, you cannot use Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync. The name of the mail server that provides wireless access to your mail system. Some companies do not give out this information because they do not want wireless access to the system. If you cannot obtain the server name, you cannot use Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync. LifeDrive from palmOne 416 SECOND DRAFT palmOne, Inc. Confidential CHAPTER 18 Sending and Receiving Email Messages Did You Know?
When you set up a Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync account, all existing Calendar events are purged from your device. Then, when you synchronize your device with your Exchange server, events from the past seven days are downloaded to your device. So you dont end up with duplicate events. Tip Another way an account that uses Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync differs from other accounts is that there is no bcc option when you send a message. Whether a proxy server is used, and, if so, the name of the server. Whether a virtual private network (VPN) is required to access the server. How does a Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync email account differ from other accounts?
An email account that uses Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync differs from other accounts in the following areas:
Setting up an account Getting messages Downloading attachments Receiving and working with meeting invitations Receiving and working with Calendar events These features are discussed in this chapter. Most other features of a Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync account, such as sending messages or attaching files to messages, work like the features of any other account. NOTE Email accounts that use Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync do not support mail filters. Also, you cannot set server preferences from the VersaMail Preferences screen for this type of account. Setting up a Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync account Although Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync works with both the VersaMail and Calendar applications, you must set up a Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync account in VersaMail.

When you set preferences for getting messages for a Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync account, the Ask Every Time option does not appear. Getting email messages The steps you take for manually getting messages in a Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync account are the same as for all other accounts, with one exception: You select Sync instead of Get or Get &
Send. However, what takes place during message retrieval for this type of account is different from that of other accounts. Here are the important differences:
NOTE These differences apply to an account that uses Microsoft Exchange AutoSync whether you manually retrieve messages or set up an Auto Sync schedule. Message retrieval When you get messages manually or through Auto Sync, Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync not only retrieves email messages directly from the server for the time interval set on your device (default is seven days); it also retrieves all Calendar events directly from the server for the preceding seven days. The interval for Calendar event retrieval is always seven days, regardless of the interval you set on your device. Wireless synchronization Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync supports wireless synchronization with the server only. To retrieve email messages and Calendar events, you must select Sync in VersaMail to make a wireless connection to the server. If you synchronize your device with your computer, info from other applicationsContacts, Memos, and so onis synchronized, but email messages and Calendar events are not. Message removal Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync removes any email messages from your device that fall outside the time interval set on the device. For example, if the time interval is set at seven days, any email messages that are eight days old are removed from your device. This info is not removed from the Exchange server.

Before removing the applications, do a full sync to back up the contents of your device to your computer. 1. On a Windows computer, open the palmOne folder on your computer, and then open the user folder for your device. User folder names are often abbreviated as last name, first initial. On a Mac computer, locate the folder Home/Documents/Palm/Users/<device name>/Backups. 2. Select and drag the Backup folder to the desktop. Make sure you see the Backup folder on the desktop. 3. On a Windows computer, close the palmOne folder. 4. Perform a hard reset. Synchronize your device with your computer to restore info to your devices program memory, and use LifeDrive Manager (Windows) or Drive Mode (Mac) to restore info to your devices internal drive. 5. Operate your device and try to replicate problem operations. 6. Do one of the following:
If your device still has problems, review this Common Questions section for solutions to the problem. Fix the problem before reinstalling the third-party applications. If your device no longer has problems, install the third-party applications one application at a time using the following procedure:
a. Open the Backup folder you moved to the desktop in step 2. b. Double-click a PRC file. On a Windows computer, the Quick Install window opens with the PRC file listed. On a Mac computer, the HotSync Manager window opens with the PRC file listed. NOTE Alternatively, on a Mac computer, you can drag the PRC file to the Send To Device droplet instead of double-clicking it. c. Click Done. LifeDrive from palmOne 654 SECOND DRAFT palmOne, Inc. Confidential CHAPTER 31 Common Questions d. Synchronize your device with your computer. e. Operate your device and try to replicate problem operations. f. Do one of the following:
If installing the application re-creates your problem, remove the application and contact the application developer for a solution. Continue to reinstall your applications one application at a time to make sure another application is not creating a problem. If installing the application does not cause a problem, go to step a and reinstall another application. g. Go to www.palmOne.com/us/support/contact/incompatible_apps.html to provide feedback to palmOne on the application. NOTE Some applications use more than one PRC file. You should continue to check each PRC file even if you identify one associated with an application that is causing a problem on your device, since that application may use other PRC files.

Static Electricity, ESD, and Your palmOne Device Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause damage to electronic devices if discharged into the device, so you should take steps to avoid such an occurrence. Description of ESD Static electricity is an electrical charge caused by the buildup of excess electrons on the surface of a material. To most people, static electricity and ESD are nothing more than annoyances. For example, after walking over a carpet while scuffing your feet, building up electrons on your body, you may get a shock -- the discharge event -- when you touch a metal doorknob. This little shock discharges the built-up static electricity. ESD-susceptible equipment Even a small amount of ESD can harm circuitry, so when working with electronic devices, take measures to help protect your electronic devices, including your palmOne device, from ESD harm. While palmOne has built protections against ESD into its products, ESD unfortunately exists and, unless neutralized, could build up to levels that could harm your equipment. Any electronic device that contains an external entry point for plugging in anything from cables to docking stations is susceptible to entry of ESD. Devices that you carry with you, such as your device, build up ESD in a unique way because the static electricity that may have built up on your body is automatically passed to the device. Then, when the device is connected to another device such as a docking station, a discharge event can occur. LifeDrive from palmOne 662 SECOND DRAFT palmOne, Inc. Confidential Precautions against ESD Make sure to discharge any built-up static electricity from yourself and your electronic devices before touching an electronic device or connecting one device to another. The recommendation from palmOne is that you take this precaution before connecting your device to your computer, placing the device in a cradle, or connecting it to any other device. You can do this in many ways, including the following:
Ground yourself when youre holding your mobile device by simultaneously touching a metal surface that is at earth ground. For example, if your computer has a metal case and is plugged into a standard three-prong grounded outlet, touching the case should discharge the ESD on your body. Increase the relative humidity of your environment. Install ESD-specific prevention items, such as grounding mats. Conditions that enhance ESD occurrences Conditions that can contribute to the buildup of static electricity in the environment include the following:
Low relative humidity. Material type (The type of material gathering the charge. For example, synthetics are more prone to static buildup than natural fibers like cotton.) The rapidity with which you touch, connect or disconnect electronic devices. While you should always take appropriate precautions to discharge static electricity, if you are in an environment where you notice ESD events, you may want to take extra precautions to protect your electronic equipment against ESD.
