Synchronizing Information

Use the following procedure to synchronize the data on your Palm OS device with the data you store in Evolution.

If you want to back up your information before synchronizing, make a copy of the evolution directory inside your home directory.


Using HotSync

  1. Put your handheld device in its cradle and press the HotSync button.

    If you use Palm OS v. 4.0 and have password protection turned on for your handheld device, you might encounter trouble synchronizing. If this happens, try turning off password protection on your handheld, synchronize it with your desktop computer, and then re-enable password protection on your handheld.

If you have followed the setup instructions properly, your Palm OS device will synchronize data with Evolution.
