Mobile channels 
Mobile channels are sites you subscribe to on your desktop PC. They are 
stored in the Channels subfolder in the Mobile Favorites folder of your 
Microsoft Internet Explorer folder and are downloaded to your HP Jornada 
during synchronization. To see a list of mobile channels you can subscribe to 
at no fee, visit the Windows CE Mobile Channel List Web page at 
www.microsoft.com/windowsce/channels
.  
While a channel Web page is displayed, click the Add Mobile Channel button, 
and then select Make available offline to download the channel to your 
desktop PC. The mobile channel will be transferred to your device the next 
time you synchronize.  
To view channels 
1. Tap  to display your list of favorites.  
2.  Tap the channel you want to view.  
 
Internet Explorer displays the page that was downloaded the last time you 
synchronized with your desktop PC. If the page is not stored on your HP 
Jornada, the favorite will be dimmed, and you must synchronize with your 
desktop PC or connect to the Internet before you can view the page. 
Mobile favorites 
When you install ActiveSync, a subfolder called Mobile Favorites is created in 
the Favorites folder on your desktop PC. You can synchronize the favorites in 
this subfolder with the favorites on your HP Jornada. Unless you mark the 
favorite link as a mobile favorite, only the link will be downloaded to your 
device, and you will need to connect to your ISP or network to view the 
content.

If you use Microsoft Internet Explorer 5 on your desktop PC, you can mark a 
link as a mobile favorite, and then download your mobile favorites to your HP 
Jornada. This enables you to view Web pages while you are disconnected 
from your ISP and desktop PC. Use the Internet Explorer 5 plug-in installed 
with ActiveSync to create mobile favorites quickly. 
To create a mobile favorite 
1.  In Internet Explorer 5 on your desktop PC, click Tools and then 
Create Mobile Favorite. 
2.  To change the link name, type a new name in the Name box.  
3.  If you want to update the page on a regular basis, select an update 
schedule from the Update list.  
4. Click OK. Internet Explorer downloads the latest version of the Web 
page to your desktop PC. 
5.  If you want to download the pages that are linked to the mobile 
favorite you just created, in Internet Explorer on the desktop PC, 
right-click the mobile favorite and then click Properties. On the 
Download tab, specify the level of links you want to download.  
6.  Synchronize your device and desktop PC. Mobile favorites that are 
stored in the Mobile Favorites folder in Internet Explorer 5 are 
downloaded to your device. 
 
 If you do not specify an update schedule in step 3, you must manually update 
the information on your HP Jornada. Before you synchronize, in Internet 
Explorer on your desktop PC, click Tools and then Synchronize. Check the 
last time content was downloaded, and manually download content if needed.  
 
 You can add a button to the Internet Explorer toolbar for creating mobile 
favorites. In Internet Explorer 5 on your desktop PC, click View, Toolbars, and
then Customize.

Mobile favorites 
Conserving memory 
Mobile favorites can use a lot of storage memory on your HP Jornada. Follow 
these tips to minimize the amount of memory used: 
• Turn off pictures and sounds or stop some mobile favorites from being 
downloaded to your HP Jornada. In ActiveSync on your desktop PC, on 
the Tools menu, click Options, select the Favorites information type, and 
then click Settings. For more information, see ActiveSync Help. 
• Limit the number of downloaded linked pages. In Internet Explorer on the 
desktop PC, right-click the mobile favorite you want to change, and then 
click Properties. On the Download tab, specify 0 or 1 for the number of 
linked pages you want to download. 
Sending and receiving e-mail 
Your HP Jornada includes Inbox, a full-featured e-mail program that is part of 
Microsoft Pocket Outlook. You can use Inbox to send and receive e-mail 
messages either by synchronizing messages with Microsoft Exchange or 
Microsoft Outlook on your desktop PC, or by connecting directly to an e-mail 
server through an Internet service provider (ISP) or a network.   
						

							52 | HP Jornada 540 Series User’s Guide     
 
Sending and receiving messages via your 
desktop PC  
You can send and receive messages on your HP Jornada via the e-mail 
service on your desktop PC by synchronizing your Inbox. When you enable 
Inbox synchronization in ActiveSync options, messages are transferred from 
the Inbox and Outbox on your HP Jornada to the corresponding folders on 
your desktop PC each time you synchronize.  
To enable inbox synchronization 
1.  In ActiveSync on your desktop PC, on the Tools menu, click 
Options, and then select the Inbox information type. 
 
When you synchronize: 
• E-mail messages in the Inbox folder of desktop versions of Microsoft 
Exchange or Outlook are copied to the Inbox folder on your HP Jornada. 
The e-mail messages on the two computers are linked, so when you 
delete an e-mail message on your HP Jornada, it will be deleted from your 
desktop PC the next time you synchronize. 
• E-mail messages in the Outbox folder on your device are transferred to 
the Outbox in Microsoft Exchange or Outlook on your desktop PC. The 
messages are sent the next time you send mail from your desktop PC. 
 
 You can only synchronize e-mail messages with a single desktop PC. If you 
have established partnerships between your HP Jornada and two desktop 
PCs, you can synchronize your Inbox with only one of them.   
 
Sending and receiving messages with Inbox 
If you have an e-mail account with an ISP or on a corporate network, you can 
connect to the e-mail server for that account with a modem or network card, 
and then use Inbox to send and receive e-mail messages directly. 
When you connect to the e-mail server, new messages are downloaded to the 
Inbox folder on your HP Jornada, messages in your Outbox folder are sent, 
and messages that have been deleted on the e-mail server are deleted from 
the Inbox folder. 
Messages that you receive directly from an e-mail server (rather than from 
your desktop PC) remain linked to the e-mail server. If you delete a message 
on your HP Jornada, the message will be deleted from the e-mail server the 
next time you connect.  
						

							Chapter 4 | Connecting to the Internet | 53 
 
 
You can work with e-mail messages online or offline. When working online, 
you read and respond to messages while connected to the e-mail server. 
Messages are sent as soon as you tap Send, which saves space on your 
device. 
When working offline, you can disconnect from the e-mail server, review the 
message headers or messages that you downloaded, and then decide which 
messages to download completely. The next time you connect, Inbox 
downloads the complete messages you have marked for retrieval and sends 
the messages you have composed. Working offline reduces the time you are 
connected and can save money, especially if you are dialing long distance.  
To retrieve messages from an e-mail account, you must set up a service for 
that account. The service includes your account information, message delivery 
options, and a link to a dial-up or network connection. 
To create an e-mail service 
1. On the Start menu, tap Programs, and then tap the Inbox icon. 
2. On the Services menu, tap New Service. 
3.  Select a service type (IMAP4 or POP3) and type a name for the 
service. The name can be anything you choose. If you are not sure 
what type of service is associated with your account, consult your 
account administrator. Tap Next. 
4.  If you connect to your mail server using a modem, select a dial-up 
connection from the drop-down list. 
–or– 
If you connect to your mail server over a network connection, select 
Network Connection from the drop-down list. 
–or– 
Select Create new connection to create a new dial-up connection 
for this service. For more information on creating a dial-up 
connection, see the section Creating an ISP or network connection 
in this chapter. 
5.  Type the name of your e-mail server, your e-mail user ID, and your 
password. 
6.  Enter the domain (if required for Windows NT networking), the 
address of your outgoing (SMTP) mail server, and the return address 
for replies to your messages. Tap Next. 
7.  Set message delivery options for your service, and then tap Finish. 
 
To connect to your e-mail server from within Inbox, select the appropriate 
service on the Services menu, and then tap the Connect button (or tap 
Connect on the Services menu).

Working with messages on your HP Jornada 
Using the message list 
Messages you receive are displayed in the message list. By default, the most 
recently received messages appear first in the list. Unread messages are 
displayed in bold. 
 
The Inbox message list 
To read a message 
1.  In the message list, tap the icon of the message you want to read.

							Chapter 4 | Connecting to the Internet | 55 
 
 
• To delete a message, tap . If your messages are still linked to 
messages on your e-mail server or desktop PC, they will be 
stored in the Deleted (local) folder. If your messages were 
downloaded directly from an e-mail server, they will be deleted 
from both your HP Jornada and the e-mail server.  
 
The Read Message Command bar 
By default, Inbox downloads only the first 100 lines of each new message 
when you connect to your e-mail server or synchronize with your desktop PC. 
No e-mail attachments are downloaded. The original messages remain on the 
e-mail server or your desktop PC. If you want to read the full message with 
attachments, you must mark the message in Inbox, and then connect to the 
mail server or synchronize again. 
To mark a message for retrieval 
1.  In the message list, tap and hold the message you want to retrieve.  
2.  On the pop-up menu, tap Get Full Copy.  
 
You specify your downloading preferences when you set up the service or 
select your synchronization options. You can change them at any time: 
• Change options for Inbox synchronization using ActiveSync options. For 
more information, see ActiveSync Help. 
• Change options for direct e-mail server connections in Inbox on your HP 
Jornada. On the Tools menu, tap Options. On the Services tab, tap the 
service you want to change. 
 
Composing e-mail messages 
To compose an e-mail message 
1. Tap New.  
2. In the To box, enter an e-mail address or select a name from the 
Contact list by tapping the Address Book button on the Command 
bar.   
						

							56 | HP Jornada 540 Series User’s Guide     
 
3.  Compose your message. 
4.  To attach a file, tap the attachment icon. 
 
 When you send a file as an attachment, be sure the message recipient can 
read the type of file you are sending. If the recipient does not have a Windows 
Pocket PC, be sure you save the file in an alternate format.   
 
5. Tap Send when you have finished the message. 
 
The message is placed in the Outbox folder on your device and will be 
delivered the next time you connect to your e-mail server or synchronize 
messages with your desktop PC. 
Managing e-mail messages and folders 
By default, messages are displayed in one of four folders for each service you 
have created: Inbox, Deleted (local), Outbox, and Sent. The Deleted (local) 
folder contains messages that have been deleted on your HP Jornada, but are 
still linked to messages on your e-mail server or desktop PC.  
 If you are using IMAP4, you may see a Deleted Items folder. This folder is for 
messages deleted on the e-mail server.  
 
The behavior of the Deleted (local) and Sent folders depends on the options 
you have chosen. In the message list, tap Tools and then Options. On the 
Message tab, select your options. 
If you want to organize messages into additional folders, tap Tools, and then 
New Folder to create new folders. To move or copy a message to another 
folder, tap and hold the message in the message list, and then tap Move to or 
Copy to on the pop-up menu. 
Moving an e-mail message into a folder you create breaks the link between 
the messages on your HP Jornada and the copy on your desktop PC or POP3 
e-mail server. The next time you synchronize, the message may be deleted 
from the Inbox folder on the mail server or desktop PC. This prevents you 
from getting duplicate copies of an e-mail message, but it also means that you 
will no longer have access to the e-mail messages you move out of Inbox 
except from the device. If you have an e-mail account on an IMAP4 mail 
server, the folders you create and the messages you move will be duplicated 
on the e-mail server.
