4.1 Setting Up ActiveSync
ActiveSync
synchronizes information on your device with information
on your PC, such as Outlook content. ActiveSync can also synchronize
over a wireless or cellular network with Microsoft Exchange Server, if your
company or service provider is running Microsoft Exchange Server with
Exchange ActiveSync.
Specifically, you can use ActiveSync to:
•
Synchronize information such as Outlook E-mail, Contacts, Calendar,
or Tasks information, as well as media files such as pictures, video, and
music between your device and your PC.
•
Synchronize Outlook E-mail, Contacts, Calendar appointments, and
Tasks on your device directly with Exchange Server so that you can
stay up-to-date even when your PC is turned off.
•
Copy files between your device and your PC without synchronizing.
•
Select which types of information are synchronized and specify how
much information is synchronized. For example, you can choose how
many weeks of past Calendar appointments to synchronize.
•
Add and remove programs on your device. For details, see Chapter 5,
“Adding and Removing Programs.”
