Synchronizing Information
This chapter introduces the basic features of Microsoft® ActiveSync® technology. It
describes how to use ActiveSync for synchronizing information on your Smartphone
with your desktop computer and/or a server running Microsoft® Exchange® Server.
For detailed information about using ActiveSync, see ActiveSync Help on your desktop
computer.
Understanding ActiveSync
ActiveSync synchronizes information stored on your Smartphone with Microsoft®
Outlook® information on your desktop computer or Microsoft Exchange Server. It also
allows you to share files between your device and your desktop computer.
When you synchronize, ActiveSync compares the information on your device with the
information on your desktop computer and/or Exchange Server and updates all
locations with the most recent information.
With ActiveSync, you can:
Synchronize Inbox, Contacts, Calendar, and Tasks information on your device with
your desktop computer.
Synchronize Inbox, Contacts, and Calendar on your device with the Outlook
information on a server running Microsoft Exchange Server so that you have the
latest information, even when your desktop computer is turned off. You can
synchronize Tasks information with your desktop computer, but not with a server.
You can synchronize with an Exchange server if your company or service provider
is running Microsoft Exchange Server with Exchange ActiveSync.
Copy (rather than synchronize) files between your device and your desktop
computer.
Synchronize on a schedule to control when synchronization occurs.
Select which types of information are synchronized and specify how much
information is synchronized. For example, you can choose how many weeks of past
appointments to synchronize.
