HP hw6500 Cingular manual Using Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync

After you have installed ActiveSync and connected your HP iPAQ to your personal computer, you can:

•Create partnerships that enable you to synchronize information with up to two computers.

•Select information to be synchronized with your HP iPAQ (for example, Contacts, Calendar, Inbox, Tasks, Favorites, Files, Notes, and AvantGo).

NOTE: When you synchronize files, you can drag and drop the selected files from your computer to the synchronized folder on your HP iPAQ. If you named your HP iPAQ “PC1” when you created your partnership, then the synchronized folder is named “PC1.” When you synchronize, the files move to and from your HP iPAQ.

There are many error messages that can be received when synchronizing. For the best answers to troubleshooting these errors, refer to the Microsoft Windows Mobile Web site at www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile.

Under Help and How To on the left side of the screen, select For Pocket PC. Fill in your region, select your HP iPAQ name and your operating system; then, click the Get Support button. Under Support Topics on the left side of the screen, select ActiveSync.

Using Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync

If your company is using Microsoft Exchange Server 2003, you can synchronize Calendar, Contacts, and E-mail with your HP iPAQ wirelessly without connecting to a desktop cradle. Exchange ActiveSync in Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 allows the HP iPAQ to access corporate information on a server running Exchange server software. It allows ActiveSync-enabled HP iPAQs to synchronize mailbox items over the air (GPRS or wireless connection) without using a desktop computer, cradle, and desktop synchronization software.

You can also synchronize your mobile device with the Exchange server using the desktop pass-through option present in all Windows Mobile- based devices. Desktop pass-through allows your cradled HP iPAQ to use the desktop computer’s Internet connection to connect directly to Exchange ActiveSync. You can then perform tasks such as browsing the Internet or downloading IMAP/POP3 e-mail messages.

After Exchange ActiveSync creates a connection and a partnership between the HP iPAQ and the desktop computer, desktop pass-through is enabled by default, even if the desktop is locked or protected with a password or PIN.

Exchange ActiveSync enables you to synchronize the following items in your Exchange Server 2003 mailbox over the air:

•Calendar

•Contacts list

•E-mail messages
