Mozilla Address Book Sync for Palm-Compatible + Devices

+
+ Note: For information on HotSync + setup, consult your Palm device's documentation.

Getting + Started

+ +

+ +

Requirements

+ (need more info about the types + of devices and version(s) of Palm Desktop software that are supported)
+ + + +

Installing Mozilla Address Book Palm Sync

+ Before installing Mozilla Address +Book Palm Sync, make sure your Palm device contains the latest address book +data. If 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.
+
+ Note: +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. (not true?)
+
+ 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.
+
+To install Mozilla Address Book Palm Sync:
+ +
    +
  1. Start the Mozilla Address +Book Palm Sync installer:
    +
    2. + +
      +
    1. Open the Windows Start +menu.
      2. +
    2. Choose Programs.
      3. +
    3. From the Programs menu, +choose Mozilla 7.1.
      4. +
    4. From the Mozilla 7.1 +menu, choose Palm Tools.
      5. +
    5. From the Palm Tools menu, +choose Address Book Palm Sync Install.
      6. + +
    +
  2. If the Palm HotSync Manager +is already open, the Mozilla Address Book Palm Sync utility will prompt you +to restart the HotSync Manager software.
    3. +
  3. (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?). 
    4. +
  4. When you are done, you can revert to using the Palm Desktop +Address Book Sync by following the instructions under Uninstalling Mozilla +Address Book Palm Sync.
    +
    5. + +
+
+ +

Synchronizing With Your + Palm Device

+ 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 Field Mapping.
+
+ 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.
+
+Synchronizing With Another Mozilla User Profile
+To synchronize your Palm device +with a different Mozilla user profile, follow the steps under Installing Mozilla Address Book Palm Sync. 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.
+
+ +

Synchronization +Guidelines

+ Maximum number of address +books
+ A maximum of 15 address +books can be synchronized.
+ + + Mozilla address book +fields
+ 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.
+
+ Palm category names
+ 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 ?).
+
+ +

Uninstalling Mozilla Address Book Palm Sync

+Note: Before uninstalling Mozilla Address Book Palm Sync, make sure your Palm device contains the +latest address book data. If 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.
+
+To uninstall Mozilla Address Book +Palm Sync:
+ +
    +
  1. Start the Mozilla Address +Book Palm Sync uninstaller:
    +
    2. +
      +
    1. Open the Windows Start menu.
      2. +
    2. Choose Programs.
      3. +
    3. From the Programs menu, +choose Mozilla 7.1.
      4. +
    4. From the Mozilla 7.1 menu, +choose Palm Tools.
      5. +
    5. From the Palm Tools menu, +choose Address Book Palm Sync Uninstall.
      6. +
    +
  2. If the Palm HotSync Manager +is already open, the Mozilla Address Book Palm Sync uninstall program will +prompt you to restart the HotSync Manager software.
    3. +
+You have successfully uninstalled Mozilla Address Book Palm Sync. The Palm Desktop Address Book Sync is now +enabled. You can synchronize your Palm device with your Mozilla address +book again at any time by following the instructions under Installing Mozilla Address Book Palm Sync.
