Notes on PC synchronisation with PDA293
• In your e-mail application on your PC, it is a good practice to regularly file or backup your
e-mails from your Inbox, Outbox and Sent to other folders or files. This can reduce the duration
of synchronization and save the memory for e-mail in the PDA.
• Please check the on-line help file of the “Intellisync®for PDA293” software for the PIMs that are
supported with the e-mail function and that can be synchronised using Intellisync®.
• E-mails can be synchronised using Intellisync®only, not with Easy-sync.
• The Inbox and Outbox folders will synchronise by default, while the Sent folder will only
synchronise if that is specified by the user manually.
• If you have deleted an e-mail on your PDA, this e-mail will also be deleted from your PC after
synchronisation.
• Mail in your PDA Outbox does not contain a “From” field. Intellisync®will add the default user
address to this field after synchronisation.
• It is not possible to download attachments from your PC to your PDA. Intellisync®will remove
the attachments during synchronisation.
• When downloading e-mail to your PDA293, e-mails with long message texts are truncated as
follows:
- “To” : 80 characters
- “Cc” : 80 characters
- “Subject” : 40 characters
- “Body” : 243 characters
• When there are more than 80 characters in the “To” and “Cc” fields, the excess e-mail addresses
will be cut off.
