To replicate your mail only

When you replicate your mail application, you can send mail only or send and receive mail. Your Calendar and To Do list are part of Mail, so replicating Mail also updates them.

You can choose to hold your mail in an outgoing mailbox for sending at intervals. If you hold mail, then during replication Notes sends outgoing Notes mail from your local MAIL.BOX application to the server and deletes the mail from MAIL.BOX, or sends outgoing mail to and from your SMTP.BOX if your mail is Internet mail. This setting is specified separately for each location.

For more information, see Using an outgoing mailbox.
