Terminology

You should know and understand the following terms prior to reading through this guide. A complete
Glossary is also provided at the end of this document.

Main Computer: This is your primary computer where you would most commonly save files and e-mail.
This is also the computer you will use to create your Migo® profile.

Guest Computer: A guest computer is a system that you would temporarily use to access important data
originally stored on your main computer.

Personalize: The process of temporarily changing a guest computer’s look and feel by personalizing the
wallpaper, desktop files, and items/settings from Outlook®, Outlook Express®, Mozilla Thunderbird®,
Mozilla Firefox®, and Internet Explorer®, so it matches those on your main computer. Migo personalizes
your environment each time you login to Migo on a guest computer, making it appear as your own.

Page 4 of 38
Chapter 1 - Migo Preview
Migo provides the flexibility that allows you to bring your critical data and computer settings with you
wherever you go, without carrying a laptop, external CD-ROM drive, CDs, floppies and other storage
devices.

Access your e-mail from a guest computer

While using your DataTraveler® on a guest computer you can access, send, and receive new e-mail. As
opposed to Web-based e-mail, you will store all of your e-mail onto the DataTraveler drive so you can
work on your Outlook®, Outlook Express® and/ or Mozilla Thunderbird® correspondence, even if you are
not connected to the Internet. When you return to your main computer, all e-mail changes are synchronized
with your main computer’s copy of Outlook®, Outlook Express® and/ or Mozilla Thunderbird®.
Note: In order to access your e-mail items, the e-mail client must be installed on the computer.

Use Migo to synchronize Outlook within an Exchange Server® environment

Migo will create a .PST file on the DataTraveler, which will contain the items you have selected for
synchronization. When you take your DataTraveler to a guest computer, Migo will personalize Outlook
with these items. In order to send mail remotely via Exchange Server®, you will need to create an SMTP
account for Outlook on the guest computer. You will also need a VPN connection for additional functions
such as: receiving incoming e-mails, scheduling events, and obtaining access to your calendar on a guest
computer.

Use Migo on different versions of Microsoft Windows®

Migo lets you work between different versions of Microsoft Windows. It also allows you edit your files and
e-mail items on any computer that has the required applications installed.

Page 5 of 38
Use your Internet Explorer® or Firefox® settings on any computer

Migo gives you ease of use and security by including the following Internet settings from your main
computer:

• Internet Explorer Favorites and/ or Firefox Bookmarks: Migo automatically copies all of
your Favorites or Bookmarks. Once you plug your DataTraveler into a guest computer and
launch Migo, your Favorites appear when you use Internet Explorer®, and your Bookmarks
will appear when you use Firefox.

• Cookies: Migo will copy your browser cookies and use them when you are logged into a Migo
profile on a guest computer. Web sites store passwords and user information in your cookies
so you can have the convenience of accessing your accounts.

• History: Migo captures your recent browser activity so you can easily return to URLs visited in
the past. Migo’s leave no data functionality ensures all records of visited Web sites stay on
your DataTraveler and not on the guest computer.

• Home Page: Migo records your Internet home page. When you click the Home button you will
be taken to your own home page.

Page 6 of 38
Maintain privacy by leaving no data

In addition to portability, Migo® also assures the privacy of your data. With Migo’s leave no data
functionality, you can work on sensitive files and access password-protected Web pages without leaving
personal data on a guest computer. This privacy protection works in two popular areas:

• Web Sites: As previously described, Migo lets you incorporate select Internet Explorer® and
Firefox® settings so you can use your Favorites or Bookmarks to navigate through sites you
would access on a regular basis. When you are done with your work, all records of your use;
cookies, history, etc., are cleared off of the guest computer once you logout of Migo.

• Microsoft Word®, Excel®, and PowerPoint®: When you synchronize Microsoft Office® files
with Migo, you can edit these documents and create additional files on any guest computer
that has Microsoft Office installed.

Chapter 2 - Getting Up And Running With Migo®
What’s in this Chapter?
This chapter will guide you through the initial setup of your 1st Migo profile.

Summary of steps
Working with Migo can be divided into these main steps.

• Insert the DataTraveler® into your main computer’s USB port.


• Use Migo software to capture your main computer’s data and settings.
• When you want to use your files and settings on another computer, take DataTraveler to a guest
computer and insert it into a USB port.
• Login to your main computer’s profile via the DataTraveler.
• Once you are done with your work, return the DataTraveler to your main computer and let Migo
synchronize and update the files on your main computer with the changes made to the files while
logged into the Migo profile.

The rest of this chapter describes each of these steps in detail. For additional help, visit Kingston on-line

When you take your DataTraveler to a guest computer, Migo will personalize Outlook with these
items. In order to remotely communicate with Exchange via Outlook, the guest computer must have
a virtual private network (VPN) connection. Once the guest computer has a VPN connection to the
private network, you can send and receive e-mails, and access Drafts, Contacts, Calendar, Notes, etc.,
just like you would on your main computer. Without a VPN connection, Migo can use the guest
computer’s SMTP account to send messages; however, you will not have access to the other Outlook
features.

Page 23 of 38
Note: It is mandatory that you set the options for every item added to the synchronize list. Please be
aware, these settings will only apply to the folder highlighted at the time options are being set. This is
to allow each folder to have its own criteria.

Outlook Options

Highlight an item in the synchronization list to configure its Outlook options. (Figure 28).

Page 24 of 38
• Conflict Resolution: This option has a direct impact on Outlook items that have the same ID
but not the same information. For example, if you make changes to files within Outlook-
Inbox, Drafts, Sent, etc., on your DataTraveler, and make changes to the same file(s) on the
main computer, then later try to synchronize, Migo will recognize these files as conflicts. The
options below (Figure 29) will determine how Migo will resolve this conflict.
Caution: The Migo software will not display a warning about file conflicts. Please be sure to set these
options prior to synchronization!

Figure 29: Conflict Resolution (Outlook)

• Conflict Resolution: This option has a direct impact on Thunderbird items that have the same
ID but not the same information. For example, if you make changes to files within
Thunderbird - Drafts, Contacts, etc., on your DataTraveler, and make changes to the same
file(s) on the main computer, then later try to synchronize, Migo will recognize these files as
conflicts. The options below (Figure 35) will determine how Migo will resolve this conflict.
Caution: The Migo software will not display a warning about file conflicts. Please be sure to set these
options prior to synchronization!

Figure 35: Conflict Resolution (Thunderbird®)

• Resolve in favor of PC: If selected, the Thunderbird item(s) on the DataTraveler will be
synchronized to match the Thunderbird item(s) on the computer.
• Resolve in favor of device: If selected, the Thunderbird® item(s) on the computer will be
synchronized to match the Thunderbird item(s) on the DataTraveler.
• Do not resolve conflict: No synchronization will take place. However, if you make changes
to a single-item on both the host and the Migo drive; Migo will create duplicates of this item
during the next synchronization as if they were two separate entities (Default).

Chapter 7 - Glossary
DataTraveler® Mini – Migo® Edition: The portable, key-sized USB device that you use to store your
information.

Guest Computer: A guest computer is a system that you would temporarily use to access important data
originally stored on your main computer.

Login Mode: One of two modes available when logging into Migo. Login Mode is used to access your
main computer’s profile on a guest computer. In this mode, the guest computer will be personalized with
your profile although all your files stay on your DataTraveler. Nothing is copied to the computer. Also see
Synchronize Mode.

Main Computer: This is your primary computer where you would most commonly save data files and e-
mail.

Migo Meter: Displayed in Migo’s main Synchronize window. It automatically calculates and displays
storage space information and lists the files, Outlook®, Outlook Express®, and Thunderbird® items that
have been selected for synchronization. Depending on the number of files that need to be synchronized,
(e.g., thousands of files and e-mails added) the Migo Meter may take a while to complete its space
calculations.

Migo software: Migo is the name of the synchronization software included on your DataTraveler.

Personalize: The process of temporarily changing a guest computer’s look and feel. Its wallpaper, desktop
files, e-mail content, and Internet settings will match those on your main computer. Migo automatically
personalizes your environment each time you log into a guest computer, making it appear as your own.

Pulldown Tab: During Migo login, the guest computer will display a Migo tab at the very top-center of
your computer desktop. Clicking on this pulldown tab expands the tab to display the nickname and
wallpaper of each computer profile. You can then select the appropriate computer containing the data you
want to access from your DataTraveler.

Synchronization: The process of updating copies of the same files that reside on both the DataTraveler
and your main computer so that the most recent version is maintained in both locations.

Synchronize Mode: One of two modes available when logging into Migo. Synchronize Mode is used to
create a new computer profile by synchronizing Desktop files, folders, e-mail items, etc., from the
computer that you are currently logged into. Also see Login Mode.
