Synchronizing data on your device
Synchronizing with online accounts
Synchronize your device with contacts, email, calendar events and other
information from online accounts, for example, email accounts such as Gmail™
and Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync. You can synchronize data automatically for
such accounts by activating the auto-sync function, or you can synchronize each
account manually.

Tap Settings > Accounts > Add account, then select the account that you
want to add.

Follow the on-screen instructions to create or sign in to an account.
To synchronize manually with an online account

Select the account, then tap Remove account.

Synchronizing with Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync
If your company uses a Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync account, you can access
your corporate email messages, calendar appointments, and contacts directly on
your device. After setup, you can find your information in the Email, Calendar, and
Contacts applications.
Fingerprint functionality is not available in the United States.
If you have set up a Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync (EAS) account on your Xperia device,
the EAS security settings may limit the lockscreen type to only a PIN or password. This
occurs when your network administrator specifies a lock screen type for all EAS accounts
for enterprise security reasons. Contact the network administrator of your company or
organization to check what network security policies are implemented for cellular devices.
To set up an EAS account for synchronization
1
Tap Settings > Accounts > Add account > Exchange ActiveSync.
2
Enter your corporate email address and password.
3
Tap NEXT. If a failure occurs, enter the domain and server details for your
account manually, and then tap NEXT.
4
Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the setup.
5
Tap Show more sync options to select a synchronization method, a
synchronization interval, and the data you want to sync with your device.
6
Tap NEXT, then select how you want to be notified when a new email
arrives.
7
Tap NEXT, enter a name for the corporate account, then tap Finish setup.
8
If prompted, activate the device administrator to allow your corporate server
to set certain security rules on your device, like disabling voice recording and
using storage encryption.
