Chapter 5
Communicating Using
Your Companion
The previous chapter described the features of your WorkPad c3
companion that help you stay organized. This chapter describes the
features that help you stay connected.
■ Managing desktop E-Mail: Using your companion, you can read, reply
to, compose, and delete e-mail from your desktop E-Mail
application while you are away from your desk.
■ IR beaming: The infrared port located at the top of your companion
lets you send data from your companion — including entire
applications — to any other infrared-enabled WorkPad
companion or other Palm Computing
®
platform device nearby.
Managing desktop E-Mail
away from your desk
Mail lets you manage the e-mail that you send and receive
through the E-Mail application on your desktop computer. You
can read, reply to, compose, and delete e-mail on your
companion; but to send or receive e-mail, you must perform a
HotSync
®
operation either locally, using the companion cradle, or
remotely, using a WorkPad c3 Modem.
The key to Mail is that it truly synchronizes the mail in the Inbox of
your desktop E-Mail application with the mail on your companion.
For example, if you delete e-mail items from Mail, your next HotSync
operation also deletes the e-mail items from your desktop E-Mail
application, so you never have to delete e-mail items twice. Similarly,
if you read an e-mail item on your companion and leave it in your
Inbox, your next HotSync operation marks it as read in your desktop
E-Mail application.
