# claws-mail-synce-plugin(1)

Windows CE device synchronization plugin.

## NAME

claws-mail-synce-plugin — Windows CE device synchronization plugin.

## DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the  **claws-mail-synce-plugin**.

This manual page was written for the **Debian** distribution  because the original program does not have a manual page.

**claws-mail-synce-plugin** is a plugin (loadable module) for   the Claws Mail mailer.

This plugin assists in keeping the addressbook of a Windows CE  device (Pocket PC, iPAQ, Smartphone etc) in sync with Claws Mail's  addressbook, with respect to email addresses.

It doesn't do real automatic syncing, like Microsoft's  ActiveSync and others.

It adds a \`\`*SynCE*'' entry to the Tools menu, which   does the following:

For every email address that is in the WinCE device and not in   Claws Mail's addressbook, offer to add it to Claws' addressbook or,   alternatively, just provide a list of such email addresses.

For every email address in Claws' addressbook, check if it also   exists on the WinCE device. Provide the user with a list of email   addresses that are in Claws Mail's addressbook but not on the WinCE   device.

Note that no direct writing access to the WinCE device is   supported (so far).

## USAGE

Before using a plugin you must instruct Claws Mail to load  it on startup.

For this you must go \`\`*Configuration*'' menu on main   window toolbar, open \`\`*Plugins...*'' dialog, click on  the \`\`*Load plugin...*'' button and select the plugin file,  named **synce\_plugin.so**, and press the   \`\`*Open*'' button.
