<h2><small><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><a name="Installing_"></a>Installing Mozilla Address Book Palm Sync</font></small></h2>
<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Before installing Mozilla Address
Book Palm Sync, make sure your Palm device contains the latest address book
data. If </font><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">you have updated
or entered new address book data in your Palm Desktop software, you should
first perform a HotSync to update your Palm device's address books with
the latest data. This will insure that your latest Palm address book data
will be synchronized with your Mozilla address books.<br>
<br>
<b>Note</b>:
After you synchronize, unfiled records in your Palm address book will get
filed in the Personal category and will also get added to your Mozilla Personal
Address Book. If you don't want these Palm address book records to get filed
in the Personal category then you should manually file them in another category
before synchronizing.</font> (not true?)<br>
<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"> <br>
The Mozilla Address Book Palm Sync installer utility lets your Palm device
synchronize directly with your Mozilla address books by replacing the Palm
Desktop Address Book Sync with Mozilla Address Book Sync. <br>
<br>
To install Mozilla Address Book Palm Sync:<br>
</font>
<ol>
<li><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Start the Mozilla Address
Book Palm Sync installer:<br>
</font> </li>
<ol>
<li><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Open the Windows Start
menu.</font></li>
<li><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Choose Programs.</font></li>
<li><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">From the Programs menu,
choose Mozilla 7.1.</font></li>
<li><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">From the Mozilla 7.1
menu, choose Palm Tools.</font></li>
<li><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">From the Palm Tools menu,
choose Address Book Palm Sync Install.</font></li>
</ol>
<li><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">If the Palm HotSync Manager
is already open, the Mozilla Address Book Palm Sync utility will prompt you
to restart the HotSync Manager software.</font></li>
<li><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">(what happens now? Does
user press HotSync button on Palm device to initiate the sync? If Mozilla
browser is closed, does it open automatically when you install the utility?).&nbsp;</font></li>
<li><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">When you are done, </font><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">you can revert to using the Palm Desktop
Address Book Sync by following the instructions under <a href="file:///C:/Buffy%20Help/palm.html#Uninstalling_">Uninstalling Mozilla
Address Book Palm Sync.</a></font><br>
</li>
</ol>
<br>
<h2><small><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Synchronizing With Your
Palm Device</font></small></h2>
<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">After
you synchronize with your Palm device, your Palm address book will contain
all the records from your Mozilla address books. Each Mozilla address book
is listed as a category in your Palm address book. Your Mozilla address
book will contain a new address book for each category in your Palm address
book. For more information, see <a href="#Field_">Field Mapping</a>.<br>
<br>
After synchronizing, records that exist in a Palm category and in a Mozilla
address book with the same name will get duplicated. This most commonly occurs
between your Palm's "Personal" category and your Mozilla Personal Address
Book. You can avoid this by either deleting or re-filing records before synchronizing,
or else deleting duplicate records after synchronizing.<br>
<br>
</font><b><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Synchronizing With Another Mozilla User Profile</font></b><br>
<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">To synchronize your Palm device
with a different Mozilla user profile, follow the steps under <a href="#Installing_">Installing Mozilla Address Book Palm Sync</a>. If you
have existing records in your Mozilla address book, syncing may result in
the creation of duplicate records which you will have to manually delete.</font><br>
<br>
<h3><small><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><small>Synchronization
Guidelines</small></font></small></h3>
<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><small><b>Maximum number of address
books</b></small><br>
</font><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">A maximum of 15 address
books can be synchronized.<br>
</font>
<ul>
<li><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Mozilla&nbsp;Address Book Palm
Sync can synchronize only the first 15 address books due to the Palm device's
limit of 15 categories. Before you synchronize, make sure that the total number
of categories plus the total number of Mozilla address books does not exceed
15. Palm categories that have the same name as a Mozilla address book will
be merged when you synchronize, so they should only be counted once.</font></li>
<li><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">If your Palm address book
already contains 15 categories, you can either remove some categories before
you synchronize or make sure that your Mozilla address books are named the
same as the Palm categories, so that they will get merged when you synchronize.</font></li>
</ul>
<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><small><b>Mozilla address book
fields</b></small><br>
Mozilla address book fields, with the exception of the Notes and Address
fields, cannot contain multiple lines. When you synchronize, field values
in your Palm address book will be converted to single line entries in your
Mozilla address book, with each line separated by a comma.</font><br>
<br>
<small><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><b>Palm category names</b></font></small><br>
<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">On the Palm device, there's a
15-character limit for category names. (what happens if a Mozilla AB that
has a longer name gets synched? Is the name truncated ?).</font><br>
<br>
<h3><small><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><a name="Uninstalling_"></a>Uninstalling Mozilla Address Book Palm Sync</font></small></h3>
<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><b>Note</b>: Before uninstalling Mozilla Address Book Palm Sync, make sure your Palm device contains the
latest address book data. If </font><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">you have updated or entered new address
book data in your Mozilla address book, you should perform another HotSync
to update your Palm device's address books with the latest data. This will
insure that your Palm address book contains the latest data from your Mozilla
address books before you uninstall Mozilla Address Book Palm Sync.</font><br>
