3.1 About ActiveSync

ActiveSync synchronizes information on your phone with information on your PC such as Outlook content. ActiveSync can also synchronize over a wireless or cellular network with Exchange Server if your company or service provider is running Exchange Server with Exchange ActiveSync.

Specifically, you can use ActiveSync to:

Synchronize information such as Outlook e-mail, contacts, calendar, or tasks information on your phone with your PC, as well as pictures, video, and music.

Synchronize Outlook e-mail, contacts, calendar appointments, and tasks on your phone directly with Exchange Server so that you can stay up to date even when your PC is turned off.

Copy files between your phone and your PC.

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 phone. For details, see Chapter 4, “Adding and Removing Programs.”
