4.2 Synchronizing information

This section provides an overview of the types of Outlook information you can synchro- nize. By default, ActiveSync does not automatically synchronize all types of Outlook information. Use ActiveSync options to turn synchronization on and off for specific information types.

Synchronizing Inbox

When you select Inbox for synchronization in ActiveSync, e-mail messages are syn- chronized as part of the general synchronization process. During synchronization, the following events occur :

nMessages are copied from the Outlook Inbox folder on your desktop computer, or from a Microsoft Exchange Server, to the Inbox folder on your Pocket PC Phone.

nBy default, when synchronizing Inbox information with your desktop computer, you will receive only messages from the last three days and the first 500 bytes of each new message. You can also choose to download file attachments.

nThe messages on your phone and on your desktop computer are linked. When you delete a message on your phone, it is deleted from your desktop computer the next time you synchronize, and vice versa.

nMessages in subfolders in other e-mail folders in Outlook are synchronized only if the folders have been selected for synchronization in the Inbox on your Pocket PC Phone.

SMS messages are not received in your Inbox through synchronization. Instead, they are sent to your phone by way of your service provider. For more details, please see Message Features in Chapter 8.

Synchronizing Calendar

nCalendar items stored on your Pocket PC Phone can be synchronized with calendar items stored on your desktop PC and/or on a Microsoft Exchange Server. By default, calendar items from the last two weeks will be synchronized.

nCalendar items created on your Pocket PC Phone are copied to your desktop PC and/or server during synchronization, and vice versa.
