44 Synchronizing Information and Setting Up E-mail Security
4.1 Setting Up ActiveSync
ActiveSync synchronizes information on your device with information on your PC such
as Outlook content. ActiveSync can also synchronize over a wireless or cellular network
with Microsoft Exchange Server if your company or service provider is running Microsoft
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 device with your PC, as well as pictures, video, and music.
•
Synchronize Outlook E-mail, Contacts, Calendar appointments, and Tasks on your
device directly with Exchange Server so that you can stay up to date even when your
PC is turned off.
•
Copy files between your device 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 device. For details, see Chapter 5, "Adding and
Removing Programs."
To install and set up ActiveSync on the computer
1.
