40 Synchronizing Information and Setting Up E-mail Security
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 Chapter 4,
“Adding and Removing Programs.”
