Okay, I'm a newbie and I've read LOTS of stuff here about memory and storage and "My Documents" and yet I'm still confused! :(

What I've found is that whenever I sync, anything in the folder My Documents on my desktop PC goes over into the My Documents folder (Under My Device) on my Axim.

Now I find that I'm getting really low on memory (Yes, I have lots of emails I wish to keep, notes, as well as documents, etc.) yet my device still looks like it has some space available in the built-in storage but only about 1mb free in the main memory (under the memory settings), hence why I started searching this site for information on how to solve my low memory problem.

From what I've gathered from the site, the My Documents in the main memory is where items are sync'ed to, but you can lose any data you haven't sync'ed if you perform a hard reset, remove all batteries, etc. So why can't we just move that My Documents folder to the other location "Built-In Storage"? Or, since we can't do that, what do we use the "Built-In Storage" for?

Are other "My Documents" folders we create on storage media backed up during the "Sync" process??

What I guess I'm trying to say is, as my emails, notes, and othe files I wish to keep sync'ed grows, how do I handle them via "Other" storage options?
