Synchronization

What is synchronization?
Anytime you are in Email, Messaging, Calendar, or Contacts, you can set up a relationship to
wirelessly sync data with selected service providers—for example, Google's Gmail or Microsoft
Exchange ActiveSync (EAS—check to see if your company supports this). Sync means that if
you enter, change, or delete information in one location, the change automatically shows up
in the other location. So if you enter a Google contact in the Contacts application on your
phone, the contact appears in your online Google contacts—no need to enter it twice.
You must already have an account with a service provider before you can set it up on your
phone.
How do I set up synchronization with an online account?
The first time you open Email, Contacts, or Calendar, you are given the option to enter settings
for one or more online accounts (see "Set Up Email" on page 237, "Use Contacts for the First
Time" on page 156, or "Use Calendar for the First Time" on page 174). For any account, you
need to enter the settings in only one of these applications to synchronize data for all three.
You can add additional accounts at any time using the preferences in any of these
applications (see "Set Email Preferences" on page 253, "Customize Contacts" on page 170,
or "Customize Calendar" on page 182).
You can also set up the Messaging application to work with an online instant messaging (IM)
account (see "Set up an Instant Messaging (IM) Account" on page 263), and the Photos
