Synchronization type and volume

By default, ActiveSync only synchronize information for Contacts, Calendar, Messaging
(Outlook E-Mail), Tasks, and Favorites (for Internet Explorer Mobile). You can select
which information types are synchronized. You can also control how much information is
synchronized. To illustrate, when synchronizing Calendar, you can set ActiveSync to
synchronize appointments within a certain date range and for specific categories only.
For example bus iness appointments from the past two weeks only.

To control the volume of information synchronized, see the ‘Synchroniz ing ...” section
“Using the Windows Mobile Programs” on page 63.

NOTE: ActiveSync does not support synchroniz ing subfolders in Calendar and
Contacts.

To select the type of information to synchronize:

IMPORTANT: If you decide to synchronize files, for example Word documents,
ActiveSync needs to convert these files. Converted files may not contain all information
found in original file.

1 Connect your devic e to your computer.
2 Click Tools > Options.
3 Select the information type that you want to synchronize.
4 If available, c lick Settings, and then select the options you want.

Whenever ActiveSync cannot successfully synchronize information, it displays an Error
link on the ActiveSync window on your device. Tap the link to display more information
about the error that occurred.

Some types of errors can interfere with automatic synchronization. If you suspect that a
scheduled automatic synchronization has not occurred, you should try to manually
synchronize your information. Successfully completing manual synchronization resets
automatic synchronization.

GPRS connection

General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) is a packet-switched tec hnology that allows
transmission of data between mobile phones and the Internet over a GSM network. It
supports an “always on” capability which uses the GSM network only during data
transmission. This means users only pay for the amount of downloaded information
rather than the duration of the network connection.

The communication software for creating a GPRS connection is already installed on your
device. Your service provider will provide software needed to install other services, such
as paging and fax servic es.

Once you’ve established a GPRS connection, you can:

• Use Messaging to send and rec eive e-mail messages.

• Use Internet Explorer Mobile to access Web or WAP pages

• Use Windows Media Player 10 Mobile for Pocket PC to listen to streaming media

• Use Live Messenger to conduct IM sessions with your friends and colleagues.

Configuring your GPRS connection

To manually configure GPRS connection:
See “To connect to the Internet” on page 58 for more information.

For more information on configuring your devic e’s GPRS setting, contact your mobile
phone service provider.

Connecting to the GPRS network

NOTE: When downloading large files through GPRS data connection, incoming phone
calls are not received. Phone calls are directed to voicemail.

A GPRS connection is required to connec t to a GPRS network. To create a GPRS
connection, the GPRS features on your GSM account must be enabled and activated on
your SIM card. You may be required to configure your GPRS connection and
authenticate GPRS to connect to the GPRS network. Obtain the user name and
password from your mobile phone service provider.

To connect to GPRS network:

Synchronizing Outlook e-mail messages

Outlook e-mail messages can be synchroniz ed as part of the general ActiveSync
synchronization process.

During ActiveSync synchronization:

• Only the first 500 bytes (or charac ters, including spaces) of each new message
sent to you within the last three days.

• Messages are copied from the Outlook Inbox folder on your computer, or from a
Microsoft Exchange server, to the Outlook E-mail Inbox folder on your device.

• The messages on your device and on your computer are linked. When you delete a
message on your devic e, it is also deleted from your computer the next time you
synchronize, and vice versa.

To set up ActiveSync e-mail synchronization:
1 Open ActiveSync on your computer.
2 Click Tools > Options.

3 In the Mobile Device list under the Des ktop area, select the “E-mail” option.
4 Click OK.

To configure ActiveSync e-mail synchronization settings:
1 Connect your devic e to your computer.

Attachments larger than this limit will not be synchronized with your
device.

5 Click OK twice.

Synchronizing POP3/IMAP4 e-mail messages

POP3/IMAP4 e-mail messages are downloaded using an e-mail server connection.
During e-mail server synchronization:

• New e-mail messages are downloaded to that account’s Inbox folder.

• E-mail messages in that account’s Outbox folder are sent.

• E-mail messages that have been delet ed in the e-mail server are removed from

your device’s Inbox folder.

• If you are using a POP3 account and you move e-mail messages to a folder you

created, the link is broken between the messages on your device and their copies
on the e-mail server. The next time you connect, the e-mail server sees that the
messages are missing from the device’s Inbox and delete them from the server.
This prevents you from 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 your devic e.

• If you are using an IMAP4 account, the folders you c reate and the e-mail messages

you move are mirrored on the server. Therefore, mes sages are available to you
anytime you connect to your e-mail server, whether it is from your device or from
your computer. This synchronization of folders occurs whenever you connect to
your mail server, create new folders or rename/delete folders when connected.

To synchroniz e POP3/IMAP4 e-mail messages:
1 On the message list on your device, tap Menu > Go To, then select the e-mail

account you want to use.

2 Tap Menu > Send/Receive.

favored music genre or video clips from your funny movie collection.

travelling or during your R&R periods.
