1. INSTALLATION NOTES
1.1 Minimum System Requirements for Palm Sync
------------------------------------------------------------------
Palm Sync requires that you have a 3Com Connected Organizer
running Palm OS 2.0 or later. You must have the MacPac version 2
installed on your computer. You can download the MacPac version 2
from:
http://www.palm.com/custsupp/macintosh/palmmacpac.html
Users of USB Macs must also download the USB Fix:
http://www.palm.com/custsupp/macintosh/palmmacpac.html
Note: You do not need to download the USB fix if you are using
Palm(TM) Desktop version 2.5.
1.2 International
------------------------------------------------------------------
Palm Sync is only supported on the US release of Outlook Express
5. It may work on European localized versions, however, the MacPac
version 2 software is not localized and is only available in
English.
1.3 Installation
------------------------------------------------------------------
>>>To install Palm Sync for Outlook Express 5:
1. Open the Extras folder in the Outlook Express 5 Folder.
2. Launch the Palm Sync Installer
An OEConduit file will be placed in your Conduits folder in the
Palm folder.
Note: If you use Palm Sync in Outlook Express 5 or Outlook Express 5.01
you must run the Palm Sync Installer contained in the Extras folder in
the Outlook Express 5.02 folder.
1.4 Synchronizing with Palm(TM) Desktop
------------------------------------------------------------------
You cannot synchronize contacts stored in your Palm Organizer with
both Outlook Express 5 and Palm(TM) Desktop.
>>>To disable contact synchronization with Palm Desktop:
1. Launch the HotSync program on your Macintosh.
2. On the HotSync menu, click Conduit Settings.
3. Double-click the Address Book conduit.
4. To save a copy of your Palm Organizer data in Palm Desktop,
when you synchronize with Outlook Express, click Handheld

make to data in Palm Desktop will not affect the data in your Palm
Organizer.

2. CONFIGURATION
2.1 Setup
------------------------------------------------------------------
Once you run the Palm Sync Installer you can configure Outlook
Exress to Sync with a Palm Organizer. The Configuration options
for Palm Sync are not located in the HotSync application, but in
Outlook Express 5.
>>>To configure Outlook Express 5 for Palm Sync:
1. Launch Outlook Express 5
2. Select Palm Sync Setup from the File Menu
3. Check Enable Palm Synchronization
4. Configure your Sync options
You can now proceed with Synchronization.
2.2 Synchronizing with Multiple Outlook Express Identities
------------------------------------------------------------------
If you are using the multiple identities feature in Outlook
Express, the name of your Outlook Express identity must be the
same as your Palm user name for synchronization to occur.
>>>To determine your Palm user name:
1. Launch the HotSync program on your Macintosh.
2. On the HotSync menu, click Edit Users. The Users window appears
and lists Palm user names for your Palm Organizer.
3. In the Users window, identify your Palm user name.
4. Rename your Outlook Express identity to match your Palm user
name.
>>>To rename an Outlook Express identity:
1. Launch Outlook Express 5.
2. On the File Menu, click Switch Identity.
3. Click the identity you want to rename, and then click Rename.
4. Type a new name for the identity.
Note: An identity name can contain up to 20 characters, including
spaces.
2.3 Synchronizing with Multiple Palm Organizers
------------------------------------------------------------------
If you want to synchronize more than one Palm Organizer with your
Macintosh, you need to rename the Main Identity in Outlook Express
so that it is the same name as the Palm user you want to
synchronize Outlook Express data with. Failure to do so may result
in unwanted data duplication.
>>>To rename the Main Identity in Outlook Express:
1. Launch Outlook Express 5.
2. On the File menu, click Switch Identity.
3. Click Main Identity, and then click Rename.
4. Type the Palm user name you want to synchronize Outlook Express
data with.
2.4 Synchronization Options
------------------------------------------------------------------
The Outlook Express Conduit has four different Synchronization
options. These options are configured from the Palm Sync Setup
dialog of Outlook Express. To display this dialog, click Palm Sync
Setup on the File Menu.
Note: To Synchronize a Palm contact with an Outlook Express
contact, the Sync with Palm Organizer check box must be selected
in the Outlook Express contact.
Synchronize
------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes that have occurred in Outlook Express and the Palm are
synchronized. If both contacts have been modified, they will be
duplicated on the Palm Organizer and in Outlook Express. An error
will appear in the HotSync log.
Outlook Express 5 overwrites Palm
------------------------------------------------------------------
All the data in the Palm Organizer will be replaced by the
contacts in Outlook Express 5. Any changes you make on the Palm
Organizer will not affect Outlook Express 5.

3. TROUBLESHOOTING
3.1 Problems Synchronizing with Outlook Express 5
------------------------------------------------------------------
There could be a number of reasons why you may have problems
synchronizing contacts with Outlook Express 5. First, check the
HotSync log to determine what the error is. This log file can be
accessed from the HotSync menu in the HotSync manager application
on your Macintosh.
If you are synchronizing and you feel that none of the changes
that you have made are getting transferred you may need to force
the conduit to perform a SLOW SYNC.
>>>To Perform a SLOW SYNC:
1. Press the HotSync button on your Palm Organizer
2. Hold down the SHIFT key on your keyboard until you see the OE
Conduit appear that it is synchronizing.
