Pocket Outlook
Pocket Outlook includes Calendar, Contacts, Tasks, Messaging, and Notes.
You can use these programs individually or together. For example, e-mail
addresses stored in Contacts can be used to address e-mail messages
in Messaging.
NOTE: Pocket Outlook is pre-installed on your device. If not already installed,
your Dell Getting Started CD has a copy of the Pocket Outlook installation
program. Ensure that you install Pocket Outlook and not Outlook Express. Note
that you can only install Pocket Outlook once, as it is a licensed version.
Using Microsoft ActiveSync
®
, you can synchronize information on your
computer in Microsoft Outlook or Microsoft Exchange. You can also
synchronize this information directly with an Exchange server. Each time
you synchronize, ActiveSync compares the changes you made on your device
and computer or server and updates both with the latest information. For
information on using ActiveSync, see ActiveSync Help on your computer.
You can switch to any of the following programs through the
Start
menu.
NOTE: For detailed information about Calendar, Contacts, Tasks, Messaging,
and Notes, among other things, see Help on your device.
Categories
