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.”
