Synchronization of web browser bookmarks (favorites) between your desktop browser and the EudoraWeb browser on your Palm device, via the new EudoraWeb conduit application. ============== Installation ============== To install the Eudora, EudoraWeb, and the Mail and Web Conduits for Eudora Internet Suite applications (if you haven't already): 1a. Windows Downloaded installer - After downloading the installer simply run it and follow the instructions. You may choose which components to install. The PalmOS applications will automatically be set up for install on your next HotSync. 1b. Macintosh Downloaded Installer - Open the .sit file. Select each of the .prc files you wish to install as you would install any .prc file. There is no conduit software for the Macintosh. 1c. Windows CDROM -- If the installer did not work automatically when you inserted the CD or you downloaded it from the Internet, click on the file EIS_2.1.exe and follow the screen instructions. Note that the conduit installation is optional. 1d. Macintosh CDROM -- If the installer did not work automatically when you inserted the CD or you downloaded it from the Internet, click on the installer and follow the screen instructions. 2. From your Palm device, run a HotSync operation. The Eudora and EudoraWeb applications will transfer from your desktop computer to your Palm device. Installation note regarding SSL/TLS (Secure Sockets Layer/ Transport Layer Security): EIS 2.1 includes support for SSL and TLS to enable access to secure web sites and to secure connections to email servers. The SSL implementation (including TLS) is in a library that is shared between Eudora and EudoraWeb. This reduces the size of EIS and also makes it possible to remove the SSL library if you don't need it and want EIS to take up less space on your Palm. The SSL library takes up about 108Kb. If you want to remove the SSL library, choose Delete from the application launcher as you would to delete any application from your Palm. Then select "sslplus" for deletion. If you wish to reinstall the SSL library, simply rerun the installer. ===================== Installation Issues ===================== - If you are a Windows Eudora user an item for configuring Eudora HotSync will show up in your tool bar, but you may have to restart Windows Eudora for this to occur. ===================== Eudora 2.1 Features ===================== - Supports Internet-standard POP3 and SMTP to receive and send messages. - Supports multiple POP and SMTP accounts - Supports SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) and TLS (Transport Layer Security) for authentication of your mail servers, and encrypted communication with those servers for data privacy. - New improved user interface allows dragging pen to select multiple email messages - Message table of contents completely rearrangeable and resortable by tapping and dragging - Provides the most efficient message retrieval by including full "pipelining" and "UIDL" support in its POP3 support. - Can limit the number of messages downloaded from server and retrieve more messages later. - Can limit the number of lines of a message downloaded and retrieve the rest later. - Includes extensive filters to control which messages are downloaded and where they are filed. - Includes mail sorting and filing options for general message management. - Displays all common text email formats including HTML and non-US character sets (except Asian languages). - Gives better readability for replies you send and receive by using flowing text and excerpt bars for reply quoting. - Provides address book look-up and includes support for personal address lists. - Can launch EudoraWeb by tapping on URLs. - Handles full standard "mailto:" links and URLs. =============== Eudora Issues =============== - Default domain setting affect the envelope, not the headers. Mail will be sent to the correct address, but the To:/Cc: field will not show correctly. - When composing messages with long addresses, the address is not displayed well. Tap on To: or Cc: to see full addresses. - Some text entry hacks don't work with message composition. - Up/Down buttons don't work in add to addresses screen. - Filter changes unrelated to downloading cause refiltering of all messages on server. - Delete messages on server when fully retrieved deletes after a mail check or two. It could delete sooner. - If you configure filters in 2.1 and then switch back to 1.1 or earlier, none of the filters configured in 2.1 will be recognized. Basically there is forward, but not backward filter compatibility. - Eudora Mail Conduit 2.0 or later is required to run filters correctly on HotSync. ======================== EudoraWeb 2.1 Features ======================== Supports a subset of HTML 3.2 features. Includes the following text mark-up capabilities: - Text is shown in two different sizes: bold and regular forms of each, and underlining. - Displays hyperlinks with a dotted underline. - Draws italic text with a dashed underline. - Does not support fixed-width text. - Does not display images. - Displays alternative text, when provided. - Frames are not fully supported, but you can view one frame at a time. - Supports HTML forms, with the exception of the TYPE=FILE INPUT field (TYPE=IMAGE acts as a submit button). Multiple-choice SELECT fields are represented as separator checkboxes. - Supports character entities and numeric references for the entire PalmOS character set, including Unicode numeric references for non-ISO8859 characters (e.g.: • = • = bullet character). - Does not support tables, scripts, and style sheets. - Supports some miscellaneous browser features including: HTTP basic authentication, cookies, redirection, and refresh (timed refresh not supported). - Beaming bookmarks is supported - "mailto:..." URLs will launch Eudora. - Supports SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) and TLS (Transport Layer Security) for authentication of secure web sites (i.e., ones with https: URLs), and encrypted communication with those sites for data privacy. ================== EudoraWeb Issues ================== - You cannot enter text into a form field until the document has finished loading. - If you tap to get a menu before a page is loaded from cache the browser will be stuck. You have to leave and reenter the browser to get back. - Named anchors without any text between the destination anchor tags will not work. []. Often used to link within a page. - Color support is incomplete; no support for color tags in the
tag such as link and background color. - Only VeriSign, Certicom and Thwate root certs are supported. There is no mechanism to import other root certs. Please let us know if this is important to you. - Some secure sites make use extensive use of Java and JavaScript which is not supported by EIS. - No proxy support for secured (SSL) connections. - SSL connections will not work on the original pdQ-800 and pdQ-1900 smartphones due to device memory limitations. ======================================================== Using Infrared With Eudora Internet Suite Applications ======================================================== If you are using PalmOS(TM) older than version 3.3, you will have trouble using Eudora Internet Suite with TCP/IP connections over Infrared (IR). We recommend that you upgrade to PalmOS(TM) 3.3 that fixes this issue. PalmOS 3.3 is available from Palm Computing's web site at http://www.palm.com/support/downloads There is a known problem with PalmOS(TM) 3.1 such that receiving an application via an IR beam when the launcher is running will cause any existing databases associated with the application on the receiving device to be deleted. Thus if you are running PalmOS(TM) 3.1 and are receiving Eudora or EudoraWeb be sure the launcher is not active. ============================== Eudora Mail Conduit Features ============================== - Synchronizes Eudora on Palm Computing platform with desktop mailers such as Windows Eudora(R) and Outlook. - Supports all features of Eudora for the Palm Computing platform. - Filters synchronized messages. - Controls the number of messages, and the size of each message synchronized. This allows you to sync small number of messages to your Palm even if you have hundreds in your In mailbox on your desktop. - Sends outgoing mail via desktop mailers. - Provides full and efficient backup and auto-restore of download via POP3 server. Note that we do not yet support the following: - Syncing for Macintosh Eudora. This is a planned feature. - Syncing the Eudora address book with the Palm address book. This is also a planned feature. - Syncing mailboxes other than than In, which is also a planned feature. ----------------- Modes Supported ----------------- Two modes are supported: * Backup mode -- In this mode messages in Eudora on your Palm organizer that you retrieved directly from the server are backed up on your PC. If all data on your Palm organizer is erased (e.g., the batteries are left out) your messages will automatically be restored on the next HotSync(R) operation. This mode is recommended if you retrieve your mail directly from the server via a modem over the network. You can also force a restore. * Desktop client sync mode -- In this mode messages are synchronized between Eudora on your Palm organizer and your desktop mail client (e.g., Windows Eudora(R) or Outlook). This is an alternate way to get new messages onto your Palm organizer. Mail that you compose on your Palm organizer is also sent via your desktop mail client. See below for a list of desktop mail clients that work with the Eudora mail conduit. You can also disable the conduit without uninstalling it by selecting the "do nothing" mode. See the full Eudora and conduit documentation in the Eudora Internet Suite User Guide for greater detail. ============================ Eudora Mail Conduit Issues ============================ - If you've recently changed the date on your Palm device and you've had the Eudora Mail Conduit configured to "do nothing" you may have trouble getting it to switch out of "do nothing". To remedy this, first change the HotSync configuration in Eudora on your Palm to "Synch with...", then also and before HotSync-ing, change your configuration on your desktop. Note that you should do this from the "Custom" menu found when clicking on the HotSync manager in the system tray. - With Windows Eudora the tool bar icon to access the conduit configuration may not show up. Restarting Eudora may help. The conduit configuration is always available from the Palm HotSync manager found in the Windows System tray. - Sending a message with a comma in the full name part of the address will fail. For example, "Smith, Joe"
