To change the default settings, or to set options for retriev-
ing file attachments and meeting requests, tap Options on
the Services menu, select the service you want to modify,
and then tap Properties. Inbox displays three tabs with
options for the selected service.
Attachments
When you send an attached file, such as a Pocket Word file,
be sure the recipient can read the file type you are sending.
Pocket Word files (.pwd) can only be read by other Windows
CE devices such as the HP Jornada. You can choose to save
the file as .txt or .rtf if you are unsure, or you can choose to
save the file as a Word file (.doc). For information about the
file types associated with a particular program, refer to the
Pocket Office section in chapter 5.
When a binary file is sent over the Internet as an attach-
ment to an e-mail message, the file must be encoded/
decoded by the mail servers. Inbox supports the use of
MIME encoding for binary attachments; however, you
must be sure that both the sender’s and the recipient’s
mail servers also support MIME. If your mail server does
not support MIME encoding, file attachments that you
receive may be corrupted or even cause your HP Jornada
to freeze. If you experience problems sending or receiving
file attachments, or if you are not sure whether your mail
server supports MIME, check with your ISP or network
administrator.
By default, Inbox will not use MIME when sending attach-
ments. To turn on MIME encoding, tap Options on the
Services menu, select the service, tap Properties, tap
Next, and then select the Send using MIME format
check box.
For detailed descriptions of the settings related to reading
and sending e-mail attachments, see the Inbox topic in
online Help.

If you choose to download attachments along with your
messages, you can save them on your HP Jornada or
storage device. To save memory, you can save attachments
automatically to a storage card.
To save attachments automatically to a storage card
1. On the Services menu, tap Options.
2. On the Storage tab, select the External Storage
Card radio button. Tap OK.
Message deletion
When you delete messages from your HP Jornada while
you are still connected to your service provider, the mes-
sages will be deleted from the server as well. If you delete
the message after you disconnect, the message will be
deleted from the server the next time you connect.
Message deletion is permanent. Deleted messages are not
moved to the Recycle Bin, and they cannot be recovered.
When you delete a message, any files attached to the
message are also deleted. To save a file attachment before
you delete the message, open the file attachment in the
program that created it (for example, Pocket Word), and
then tap Save As on the File menu. See online Help for
more information.
Browsing the Web or your intranet with Pocket
Internet Explorer
You can use Pocket Internet Explorer to browse the Web
or your corporate intranet with your HP Jornada. Pocket
Internet Explorer allows you to view Web sites in their
entirety directly on your HP Jornada. Download forms
from your corporate intranet and save them for later use,
or save your favorite online news page to read later when
you are offline. 
						

							Chapter 6  |  Accessing e-mail and the Web  |  117
After you have set up an online connection with your ISP or
your network account, you are ready to dial up and start
browsing the Web or your intranet. You can set Pocket
Internet Explorer to automatically dial a connection you
create whenever you use Pocket Internet Explorer.
If you did not use HP dialup to create your ISP or network connection, you must set up a
Remote Networking account first. (See the Creating connections without HP
dialup section in this chapter.)
If you set up the Web service using HP dialup, you can set
different Web browsing options and preferences for each
connection;  the options you set in HP dialup determine the
way Web pages are displayed. If you change options in
Pocket Internet Explorer, the settings remain in effect only
for the current Web session; the changes are not saved. If
you use Remote Networking to connect, you must set
options in Pocket Internet Explorer, and these settings will
be used each time you connect.
To edit or set connection information in Pocket Internet
Explorer
1. In Pocket Internet Explorer, on the View menu,
tap Options.
2. In the Options dialog box, on the AutoDial tab,
tap AutoDial.
3. Choose the remote dial-up connection to be used.
4. Tap Auto Disconnect if you wish to disconnect
automatically from the Internet after a specified
period of idle time.
5. Use the other Options tabs to set information such
as Appearance, Default Pages, Proxy Server,
and Advanced features.
6. When you are finished, tap OK to save the changes.
If you set up AutoDial in Pocket Internet Explorer, you can
connect to the Internet simply by starting the program and 
						

							118  |  HP Jornada 680/680e User’s Guide
entering the address of a Web site. (Be sure your telephone
line is connected properly first.) If you prefer to dial up
independently of Pocket Internet Explorer, you may want
to clear the AutoDial option. To connect using HP dialup,
use the following procedure.
To browse the Web or your intranet
1. Double-tap the HP dialup icon on your desktop.
2. In the HP dialup window, select a location and a
connection from the drop-down boxes, and then tap
Continue.
3. In the Dial dialog box, confirm the user name and
password you use to connect to your ISP or network
and select the modem you will use to dial the call.
4. Check the telephone number, and then tap Dial. A
progress message appears to tell you when you are
connected to your ISP or network.
5. After you connect to your ISP or network account,
you may use Pocket Internet Explorer to browse.
If you did not use the HP Jornada dialup application to create your connection, you will
need to activate the connection you want in Remote Networking. On the Start menu,
point to Programs, point to Communication, and then tap Remote Networking.
In the Remote Networking folder, double-tap the icon of the connection you want. Tap
Connect to begin dialing.

Although it includes most of the features of the Internet
Explorer Web browser, Pocket Internet Explorer has been
streamlined to work efficiently on the compact
HP Jornada. Animations are not displayed on your
HP Jornada. Animated graphics may appear as a single
still frame, or may not appear at all. You may also have
difficulty viewing Web pages that require ActiveX controls
or plug-ins. For more information about using Pocket
Internet Explorer, refer to online Help.
Retrieving your CompuServe mail
If you are a member of CompuServe, you can use Inbox to
receive your CompuServe e-mail on your HP Jornada. To
do this, you will need to:
•Use the Web browser and Internet account on your
desktop PC (partner) to go to the CompuServe Web site
at 
www.csi.com/communications.
•Follow the instructions that are provided at that site for
creating a POP3 mailbox. Be sure to choose a mailbox
password that your HP Jornada can support; that is,
use only letters and numbers in your password.
•Create a connection with HP dialup on your
HP Jornada. You will have all the account information
you need when you finish creating your POP3 mailbox
at the CompuServe site.
•Set up (and name) the Inbox mail service connection.
See the Using Inbox section in this chapter.
After you have completed these initial setup procedures,
you will be able to send and receive your CompuServe e-
mail just as you would with any other Internet e-mail
account.
If you have an account with another online service, check
with the service provider to see if the service supports
access via Windows CE.

Adding programs, fonts, sounds, and images
This section describes how to add functionality to your
HP Jornada by installing software and how to customize the
Windows CE desktop and working environment.
Installing programs
You can add even more functionality to your HP Jornada by
installing third-party software. A wide variety of commercial
software is available for the Microsoft Windows 
CE operating
system, ranging from custom business applications and
system utilities to games and entertainment. Some pro-
grams are available on the HP Jornada Handheld PC
compact disc and the Desktop Software for Microsoft
Windows CE compact disc included with your HP Jornada.
Other programs are available from software distributors and
on the Worldwide Web.
The only programs that will run on your HP Jornada are those designed specifically for
Windows CE.  You cannot run programs designed for Windows 95 or Windows NT on your
HP Jornada.
The HP Jornada Handheld PC compact disc includes many
productivity-enhancing programs such as:
•Inso® 
Outisde In®
 file viewer software for viewing
popular desktop file formats
•Pocket Quicken™ from On The Go Software (for U.S.
only)
•TrueSync®
 CE 2.0 from Starfish Software for synchroniz-
ing your HP Jornada with the REX™ Classic and REX
Pro Cards
•Trio Phone Manager for sending/receiving SMS with a
GSM phone (for Europe and Asia Pacific only)

The minimum system requirements for installing programs
from the HP Jornada Handheld PC compact disc are as
follows:
•Microsoft Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows NT 
4.0
•Desktop PC with a 486/66 or higher processor
•2X or faster CD-ROM drive
•VGA or higher resolution graphics card
•Web browser (Netscape Navigator 2.0 or higher or
Microsoft Internet Explorer 2.0 or higher)
Explore the HP Jornada Handheld PC compact disc to enjoy
these free software programs. For more information about a
particular program, go to the Web site of the manufacturer
of that program.
Many other useful programs are available from the Hewlett-
Packard Web site at 
www.hp.com/jornada. Hewlett-Packard
does not support the use of programs that have not been
certified by Microsoft.
Typically, you install software to your H/PC by first loading
the installation files onto your desktop PC, as described in
the following procedure.
If a program is designed for direct installation, you may be able to download or install
the program from the Web to your HP Jornada. The Web site should provide instructions
for installing the program.
To install software
1. Download the software program or installer from the
Web to your desktop PC.
–or–
Insert the floppy disk or compact disc into the
appropriate drive on your desktop PC. 
						

							124  |  HP Jornada 680/680e User’s Guide
2. Connect your HP Jornada to your desktop PC using
the docking cradle or sync cable and establish a
partnership. (For more information, see chapter 4.).
3. If the program includes an installer program (typi-
cally named Setup.exe or Install.exe), double-click
the installer program on the desktop PC. The in-
staller program will copy the necessary files to your
HP Jornada.
–or–
If the program does not have an associated installer
or setup program, drag the program file (typically an
*.exe file type) to the HP Jornada icon in the Mobile
Devices window. If the No converter selected
dialog box appears, click OK to copy the file without
conversion.
4. If prompted by the installer, perform a soft reset of
your H/PC. For more information, see the Resetting
section in chapter 8.
Install software by dragging the program file to the Mobile Devices window only if no
installer program is available. Software installed in this way may not appear on the
Remove Programs list, and you may have to manually delete the program if you wish
to remove it from your HP Jornada.
After you have installed a program on your HP Jornada, you
can use Windows CE Application Manager to remove the
program or to reinstall the program after it has been re-
moved. If you do not have enough storage memory on your
HP Jornada, you may want to use Application Manager to
temporarily remove programs you no longer use or programs
that you use infrequently.
To add or remove programs with Application Manager
1. Connect your HP Jornada to your desktop PC, and
then open the Mobile Devices window.
2. On the Tools menu in the Mobile Devices window,
click Application Manager.
