Password

In the Password field, you enter the password you use when
logging into your desktop e-mail application. For security reasons,
PalmPilot does not display your actual password; instead PalmPilot
represents your password as a string of asterisks.

To enter your password:

Type your password in the Password field. Press the Tab key
to move to the next field, or click OK to close the Change
HotSync Action dialog and return to the Custom screen.

Postoffice

Depending on the e-mail application you select (for example, Lotus
cc:Mail), you may need to enter a path to your postoffice. A
postoffice is a specific folder on your network server where e-mail
is stored.

Note:

You may be able to obtain your postoffice path by looking at

your e-mail log-in screen (it may be designated as “P.O. path”). If
not, ask your System Administrator.

To select a postoffice:

1.

Type the folder name where your e-mail is stored in the
Postoffice field. If you need to, click the Browse button to
display available folders, then double-click the appropriate
folder name to enter it in the Postoffice field.

2.

Click OK or press Enter to confirm your selection, close the
Change HotSync Action dialog, and return to the Custom
screen.

Internet Gateway

If you select Lotus cc:Mail as your e-mail application, you need to
enter the name of the Internet Gateway which sends e-mail outside
of your local network.
