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.”

3.2 Setting Up ActiveSync

To install and set up ActiveSync on the computer

1. Install ActiveSync 4.1 or later on your PC, as described on the

Windows Mobile® Getting Started Disc.

2. After Setup completes, the Synchronization Setup Wizard

automatically starts when you connect your phone to the PC. The wizard will guide you to create a synchronization relationship between your phone and computer. Click Next

3. Do not select the Synchronize directly with a server running

Microsoft Exchange Server check box if you will synchronize your

phone with a computer. Just click Next and skip to step 8.

When synchronizing with multiple computers, the items you synchronize will appear on all of the computers with which they are synchronized. For example, if you have set up synchronization with two PCs (PC1 and PC2), which have different items, and you synchronize Contacts and Calendar on the phone with both computers, the result is as follows:

Location New state

PC1 All Outlook contacts and calendar appointments that were on PC2 are

now also on PC1.

PC2 All Outlook contacts and calendar appointments that were on PC1 are

now also on PC2.

Phone All Outlook contacts and calendar appointments from both PC1 and

PC2 are on the phone.

Note Outlook e -mail can be synchronized with only one computer.

Windows Mobile on your phone protects your Outlook e-mails through Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extension (S/MIME), which allows you to digitally sign your messages as well as encrypt them.

Using authorization keys and certificates, S/MIME allows you to digitally sign your e-mail messages to prove your identity to the recipients. Authorization keys are also used when encrypting messages to improve privacy and prevent undue tampering or hacking of your messages. You can encrypt a message with or without a certificate. However, to read an encrypted message, you need a valid certificate for decrypting e-mail messages.

Note S/MIME encryption and digital signatures for Windows Mobile-based devices

are available only with Exchange Server 2003 Service Pack 2 or a later version that supports S/MIME. If you are not using one of these products, or have not yet synchronized, these options are unavailable.

Digitally sign and encrypt all messages

ActiveSync allows you to set up S/MIME e-mail encryption and signing. You will have to obtain a valid certificate for signing or encrypting e-mail before you will be able to sign or encrypt mail successfully.

1. On the Home screen, select Start > ActiveSync.

2. Select Menu > Options.

3. Select the E-mail information type, and select Settings. On the E-mail

Sync screen, select Menu > Advanced.

This information will help you select a program that is compatible with your phone. For more information, see “To find the operating system version number” in this chapter.

Programs available for purchase usually include a Setup program (commonly named “setup.exe”) that you must first install on your PC. You can then use ActiveSync to add programs to your phone or add a program directly from the Internet.

To add programs

1. Download the program to your PC (or insert the CD or disk that

contains the program into your PC). You may see a single *.exe ﬁle, a *.zip ﬁle, a Setup.exe ﬁle, or several versions of ﬁles for diﬀerent device types and processors. Be sure to select a program designed for your phone and processor type.

2. Read any installation instructions or documentation that comes with

the program. Many programs provide special installation instructions.

3. Connect your phone and PC.

4. Double-click the *.exe ﬁle.

• If the executable file is an installation wizard, follow the

instructions on the screen. Once the program has been installed on your PC, the wizard will automatically transfer the program to your phone.

• If an installation wizard does not start, you will see an error

message stating that the program is valid but that it is designed for a different type of computer. You will need to copy this program to your phone. If you cannot find any installation instructions for the program, use ActiveSync to copy the program file to the Program Files folder on your phone.

4.4 Managing and Backing Up Files

You can back up files to your PC using ActiveSync or copy files to a storage card that is installed by you on your phone. You can also efficiently manage your files and folders using File Explorer installed on your phone.

Using Microsoft ActiveSync, you can copy or move information from the PC to the phone and vice versa. Changes you make to the information on one computer will not affect the information on the other computer. If you want to automatically update information on both your phone and PC, synchronize the information instead. For more information about copying and synchronizing files, see ActiveSync Help on your PC.

The manner in which you download messages depends on the type of account you have:

• To send and receive e-mail for an Outlook E-mail account, begin

synchronization using ActiveSync. For more information, see “Set up Outlook e-mail” in this chapter.

•

To send and receive e-mail messages for an e-mail

account that you have with an Internet Service Provider (ISP) or that you access using a VPN server connection (typically a work account), download messages through a remote e-mail server. For more information, see "To download messages from the server" below.

• Text messages are automatically received when your phone is turned

on. When your phone is in turned oﬀ, messages are held by your service provider until you turn on your phone again.

To download messages from the server

To send and receive e-mail messages for an e-mail account that you have with an Internet Service Provider (ISP) or that you access using a VPN server connection (typically a work account), you first need to connect to the Internet or your corporate network, depending on the account.

u > Download Message. The remainder of the message will be

downloaded the next time you send and receive e-mail.

Exchanging Messages and Using Outlook 95

Individually sign and encrypt a message

Encrypting an Outlook e-mail message protects the privacy of the message by converting it from plain, readable text into cipher (scrambled) text. Only the recipient who has the authorization key can decipher the message.

Digitally signing a message applies your certificate with the authorization key to the message. This proves to the recipient that the message is from you and not from an imposter or a hacker, and that the message has not been altered.

To digitally sign and encrypt a new message

1. In the message list, select Outlook E-mail.

2. Select New.

3. Select Menu > Message Options.

4. In the Security ﬁeld, select the Encrypt message and Sign message

check boxes and then select

Done.

Verify the digital signature on a signed message you receive

To verify a digital signature in the message that you receive, do the following:

1. Open the Outlook e-mail message that has been digitally signed.

2. At the top of the message, select View Signature Status.

3. Select Menu > Check Certiﬁcate.

96 Exchanging Messages and Using Outlook

4. To view the details of the certiﬁcate in the message, select Menu >

View Certiﬁcate

Note There can be several reasons why a digital signature is not valid. For example,

the sender’s certificate may have expired, it may have been revoked by the certificate authority, or the server that verifies the certificate is unavailable. Contact the sender to report the problem.

Manage folders

Each Messaging account has its own folder hierarchy with five default Messaging folders: Inbox, Outbox, Deleted Items, Drafts, and Sent Items. The messages you receive and send through the account are stored in these folders. You can also create additional folders within each hierarchy. Folders for e-mail accounts behave differently depending on the type of e-mail account you have.

If you set up an Outlook E-mail account to sync with Exchange Server or a desktop PC, e-mail messages in the Inbox folder in Outlook will be synchronized automatically with your phone. You can select to synchronize additional folders by designating them for synchronization. The folders you create and the messages you move will then be mirrored on the e-mail server. For example, if you move two messages from the Inbox folder to a folder named Family, and you have designated Family for synchronization, the server creates a copy of the Family folder and copies the messages to that folder. You can then read the messages while you are away from your PC. You can only create and delete folders on devices when you are connected to an Exchange e-mail server.

Exchanging Messages and Using Outlook 97

Similar to the Outlook account, if you set up an account to send and receive mail using an IMAP4 e-mail server, all messages on the phone are copies of the messages on the server. The folders you create locally on the phone and the e-mail messages you move to these folders are mirrored on the e-mail server. Moving a message on the phone moves the copy on the server the next time you send and receive e-mail for that account. Therefore, messages are available to you anytime you connect to your e-mail server, whether it is from your phone or PC. This synchronization of folders occurs whenever you connect to your e-mail server, create new folders, or rename/delete folders when connected. You can also set different download options for each folder.

If you set up an account to send/receive mail using a POP3 e-mail server, e-mail messages you move to the Deleted Items folder on the phone will break the link between the messages on the phone and their copies on the e-mail server. The next time you connect to send and receive mail, the email server will detect the messages that are in the Deleted Items folder on the phone and will delete those messages from the e-mail server. All other messages in other folders remain on both the phone and the e-mail server.

6.2 Using Picture Messages

Creating and sending Picture Messages to your friends and family is fun and easy. You can include or capture photos or video clips, include or record audio, add text, then send them along with your Picture Message.
