3.1 About ActiveSync

ActiveSync synchronizes information on your phone with
information on your PC such as Outlook content. ActiveSync
can also synchronize over a wireless or cellular network with
Exchange Server if your company or service provider is running
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 phone with your PC,
as well as pictures, video, and music.
•
Synchronize Outlook e-mail, contacts, calendar
appointments, and tasks on your phone directly with
Exchange Server so that you can stay up to date even
when your PC is turned off.
•
Copy files between your phone 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 phone. For details, see
