While Rick's answer is right, I think the term synchronise generally applies to outlook/exchange server etc. since while you can read messages offline etc., it sort of stays connected to the server while online, whereas things like outlook express etc. really just carry out send/receive commands either at regular intervals, or when you tell it to.

Stay well

Subject: [Blind-Computing] THE TERM synchronize IN E-MAIL PROGRAMS


Group,
I have searched through the support pages for this term and have been unable to find anything useful. for the record, what exactly is "synchronize" when referring to operations in an e-mail program? I'm using a relatively new e-mail client called Windows Live Mail. it's the one recommended for use with Windows 7. Can someone tell me in plain English what I can expect if I decide to "synchronize" my e-mail?
Thanks in advance for any help.
