ActiveSync
Deciding Which Information to
Synchronize
By default, ActiveSync does not automatically synchronize all types of Outlook
information. You can use ActiveSync options to turn synchronization for specific
information types on and off. This section provides an overview of the types of Outlook
information you can synchronize. Items that you synchronize with Microsoft Exchange
Server cannot also be synchronized with Outlook on a desktop computer.
Synchronizing Outlook Email
When you select Inbox for synchronization in ActiveSync, email messages are
synchronized as part of the general synchronization process. During synchronization, the
following events occur:
• Messages are copied from the Outlook Inbox folder on your desktop computer, or
from Microsoft Exchange Server, to the Inbox folder of the Outlook E-mail account on
your Smartphone.
• By default, when synchronizing your Outlook E-mail account with your desktop
computer or Microsoft Exchange Server, you receive only messages from the last 3
days and the first 500 bytes of each new message.
• The messages on your Smartphone and on your desktop computer are linked. When
you delete a message on your Smartphone, it is deleted from your desktop computer
the next time you synchronize, and vice versa.
• Messages in subfolders of other Outlook email folders are synchronized only if the
folders have been selected for synchronization in your Outlook E-mail account on your
Smartphone.
Note: Text messages are not received in Messaging through synchronization.
Instead, they are sent to your Smartphone by way of Nextel.
Synchronizing Calendar
Calendar items stored on your Smartphone can be synchronized with calendar items
stored on your desktop computer or on a Microsoft Exchange server. By default,
Calendar items from the last 2 weeks are synchronized.
Calendar items created on your Smartphone are copied to your desktop computer and/or
server during synchronization, and vice versa. Similarly, Calendar items that are deleted
from your Smartphone are deleted from your desktop computer and/or server during
synchronization, and vice versa.
Synchronizing Contacts
Contacts stored on your Smartphone can be synchronized with contacts stored on your
desktop computer or on a Microsoft Exchange server. By default, all of your contacts are
synchronized.
Contacts created on your Smartphone are copied to your desktop computer and/or
server during synchronization, and vice versa. Similarly, contacts that are deleted from
your Smartphone are deleted from your desktop computer and/or server during
synchronization, and vice versa.
