SYNC: Only Calendar and Contacts?

musb · 04-30-05, 10:41 AM

Hello,

My email life is MIGHTY complicated. I'd prefer just to use my PPC to sync my contacts & calendar. Is this possible?

So that, when sync-ing and using the PDA, all I'd be accessing is the Calendar and the Contacts, and the emails would be left alone.

As a follow up: do any of you all do it this way?

Thanks!!

Just go into Tools, Options then uncheck "Inbox" and then your email will not be synced.

THANKS so MUCH!! I guess my thought about my follow up was two-fold: security and memory.

If i LOST the PPC, even passworded... ALL email accounts there! Scary.

Then, memory -- how much of the mailbox does the Sync-ing sync with? Will it duplicate our WHOLE PC's email, or just hold what it collects. Put another way: how much of the PC's mail-in-memory will we usually have on the PPC?

Thanks you again, ever so much. Already sent my brother to your site!

So nice to be appreciated!

About your other question, I'm afraid I don't know for sure because I too do not sync my emails.

You are very Welcome!!

Really GREAT to have such a fine resource.

Please can you share your strategy / thinking about not doing the email thing? Are you thinking like me?

THANKS AGAIN!!

Erm..I don't really have a strategy...

I just choose not to sync them because they are not that important and most of my email can be accessed via the web anyway (e.g., Hotmail, gmail).

Very good. I was thinking along the same lines. If you want to check those sites via the PPC, is that easy to do?

THANKS SO MUCH!!

Checking hotmail and gmail is a easy as pie - just type in www.hotmail.com or www.gmail.com into your browser!
