and the same info stored on the Exchange server using Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync.

If you are using Exchange Server 2007, or Exchange Server 2003 that has been upgraded to Service Pack 2, you may be able to take advantage of the additional features of Microsoft Direct Push. Microsoft Direct Push is a two-way wireless delivery method that keeps your Outlook information always up-to-date and provides more efficient communication between the server and your smartphone. It includes features like Global Address List, Tasks Over The Air (OTA), and IP-based push updating of Calendar and Messaging.

DID YOU KNOW? Because your desktop copy of Outlook also syncs with the server, whatever is synchronized to the server from your smartphone also shows up in Outlook on your computer; and whatever you enter or change in Outlook on your computer syncs to the server and then shows up on your smartphone.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN To synchronize

wirelessly, you need to set up an Exchange

Server account. Work with your system administrator to gather the following info, and then follow the steps in this section to set up an account:

Mail server address and domain name.

The username and password you use to access your corporate mail server.

Security connection: Does your server use an encrypted (SSL) connection?

Security measure: Is it OK to store your corporate email password on your smartphone?

TIP If you installed ActiveSync desktop software on a Windows XP computer, you may have already set up your smartphone to synchronize wirelessly with the server. To check, press Start, select Programs, and then select ActiveSync. Press Menu (right softkey). If Configure Server appears instead of Add Server Source, wireless sync is already set up, and you can skip this procedure.

1Press Start and select Programs.

2Select ActiveSync .

3Press Menu (right softkey) and select Add Server Source.
