Synchronizing Your Pocket PC Phone

48 | Synchronizing Your Pocket PC Phone

4.1 Using 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. When you synchronize, ActiveSync compares the information on your device with the information on your PC and/or Exchange Server and updates all locations with the most recent information.

With ActiveSync, you can:

• 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.

• Exchange ﬁles between your device and your PC without synchronizing.

• 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.

Before you can synchronize information with a PC, you must first install ActiveSync on your PC and create a synchronization relationship between your device and the PC. You can install ActiveSync from the Getting Started disc that comes with your device. ActiveSync is already installed on your device.

Once you have installed ActiveSync and set up a synchronization relationship, ActiveSync on the PC recognizes your device when you connect it, and automatically transfers the synchronization settings you specified on your device.

You may be able to synchronize your device with Exchange Server through your company or wireless service provider. If you plan to do so, obtain the name of the Exchange Server, your user name, password, and domain name from your administrator before starting the Sync Setup Wizard.

Synchronizing Your Pocket PC Phone | 49

To install and set up ActiveSync

1. Install ActiveSync on your PC, as described on the Getting Started disc. After Setup

completes, the Sync Setup Wizard automatically starts when you connect your device to the PC.

2. Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the wizard. In the Sync Setup Wizard,

do one or both of the following:

• Create a synchronization relationship between your PC and the device.

• Conﬁgure an Exchange Server connection to synchronize directly with Exchange

Server.

3. Choose information types to synchronize.

Note When you finish the wizard, ActiveSync synchronizes your device automatically. Once

synchronization completes, you can disconnect your device from your PC.

4.2 Synchronizing Information

When you connect your device to the PC using a USB or serial cable, an infrared connection, or a Bluetooth connection, ActiveSync will immediately synchronize. While the device is connected, ActiveSync synchronizes every time you make a change on either the PC or the device.

Synchronizing Outlook information

If you have set up a synchronization relationship between your device and the PC, synchronization keeps Outlook information up-to-date on both computers. ActiveSync synchronizes a limited amount of information by default to save storage space on your device. You can change the amount of information synchronized for a given information type in Settings for the information type.

50 | Synchronizing Your Pocket PC Phone

You can set up your device to synchronize with more than one PC or with a combination of one or more PCs and Exchange Server. When synchronizing with multiple computers, the items that 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 device 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.

Device

All Outlook contacts and calendar appointments from both PC1 and PC2 are on the device.

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

To start and stop synchronization

• To synchronize Outlook information and other local information on the PC, including

media ﬁles, connect your device to the PC using Bluetooth, infrared (IR) or a cable or cradle.

• If you are synchronizing directly with Exchange Server, you can use this connection to the PC to “pass though” to the network, or you can synchronize without connecting to the PC over a cellular or Wi-Fi network.

• In ActiveSync, tap Sync. To end synchronization before it completes, tap Stop.

To change which information is synchronized

1. In ActiveSync on the device, tap Menu > Options.

2. Do one or both of the following:

Synchronizing Your Pocket PC Phone | 51

• Select the check box for any items you want to synchronize. If you cannot select a check box, you might have to clear the check box for the same information type elsewhere in the list.

• Clear the check box for any items you want to stop synchronizing.

3. To stop synchronizing with one PC completely, tap the PC, and then tap Delete.

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

To change available synchronization settings, select the type of information and tap Settings.

To synchronize directly with Exchange Server

You can set up synchronization with Exchange Server on your device, if it is available to you through your company or wireless service provider. However, you should first ask your administrator for the following information and then carry on with the steps: Exchange Server name, your user name, password, and domain name.

1. In ActiveSync on the device, tap Menu > Conﬁgure Server. If you have not yet set up

synchronization with Exchange Server, this will say Add Server Source.

2. In Server address, enter the name of the server running Exchange Server, and tap

Next.

3. Enter your user name, password, and domain, and tap Next. To change the rules for

resolving synchronization conﬂicts, tap Advanced.

4. Select the check boxes for the types of information items that you want to synchronize

with Exchange Server.

• Install Windows Media Player Version 10 on the PC.

• Connect your device to the PC with a USB cable. If the device is currently connected

using Bluetooth or infrared, you must end that connection before media can be synchronized.

• Insert a storage card into your device (32MB or larger is recommended).

• Set up a sync partnership between the storage card and Windows Media Player.

Change Media synchronization settings

Once you select the Media information type in ActiveSync to be synchronized, any of your favorite music, video, and picture files in Windows Media Player playlists can be synchronized. All you have to do is set up synchronization in Windows Media Player for those media files.

To set up a sync relationship with a storage card

1. Open Windows Media Player.

2. Click the Sync tab.

3. Select the storage card.

4. Click Set up Sync.

5.6 Resetting Your Pocket PC Phone

Occasionally you may need to reset your Pocket PC Phone. A normal (or soft) reset of your device clears all active program memory and shuts down all active programs. This can be useful when the device is running slower than normal, or a program is not performing properly. A soft reset is also necessary after the installation of some programs. If a soft reset is performed when programs are running, unsaved work will be lost.

You can also perform a hard reset (also known as a full reset). A hard reset should be performed only if a normal reset does not solve a system problem. After a hard reset, the device is restored to its default settings—the way it was when you first purchased it and turned it on. Any programs you installed, data you entered, and settings you customized on the device will be lost. Only Windows Mobile software and other pre-installed programs will remain.

To perform a soft reset

• Use the stylus to lightly press and hold the RESET button on the left side of your

device. The device restarts, and then displays the Today screen.

Download messages

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

• To send and receive e-mail for an Outlook E-mail account, begin synchronization through ActiveSync. For more information, see “Synchronizing Outlook information” in Chapter 4.

• 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” later in this chapter.

• Text messages are automatically received when your phone is turned on. When your phone is turned off (in ﬂight mode), messages are held by your service provider until the next time your phone is turned on.

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.

1. Tap Menu > Switch Accounts to select the account you want to use.

2. Tap Menu > Send/Receive. The messages on your device and e-mail server are

synchronized: new messages are downloaded to the device Inbox folder, messages in the device Outbox folder are sent, and messages that have been deleted from the server are removed from the device Inbox folder.

Tip If you want to read the entire message, tap Menu > Download Message while in the

message window. If you are in the message list, tap and hold the message, and tap Menu > Download Message. The message will download the next time you send and receive e-mail. This will also download message attachments if you selected those options when you set up the e-mail account.

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. The Deleted Items folder contains messages that have been deleted on the device. The behavior of the Deleted Items and Sent Items folders depends on the Messaging options you have chosen.

If you use an Outlook E-mail account, e-mail messages in the Inbox folder in Outlook will be synchronized automatically with your device. 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.

If you use a text message account, messages are stored in the Inbox folder. If you use a POP3 account and you move e-mail messages to a folder you created, the link is broken between the messages on the device and their copies on the e-mail server. The next time you connect, the e-mail server will detect that the messages are missing from the Inbox folder on the device and will delete them from the e-mail server. This prevents having duplicate copies of a message, but it also means that you will no longer have access to messages that you move to folders created from anywhere except the device.

If you use an IMAP4 account, the folders you create and the e-mail messages you move are mirrored on the e-mail server. Therefore, messages are available to you anytime you connect to your e-mail server, whether it is from your device 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.
