4.2 Synchronizing information
This section provides an overview of the types of Outlook
information you can synchronize. By default, ActiveSync
does not automatically synchronize all types of Outlook in-
formation. Use ActiveSync options to turn synchronization
on and off for specic information types.
Synchronizing Inbox
When you select Inbox for synchronization in ActiveSync,
e-mail messages are synchronized as part of the general
synchronization process. During synchronization, the fol-
lowing events occur :
n Messages are copied from the Outlook Inbox folder on
your desktop computer, or from a Microsoft Exchange
Server, to the Inbox folder on your Pocket PC Phone.
n By default, when synchronizing Inbox information with
your desktop computer, you will receive only messages
from the last three days and the rst 500 bytes of each
new message. You can also choose to download le at-
tachments.
n The messages on your phone and on your desktop com-
puter are linked. When you delete a message on your
phone, it is deleted from your desktop computer the next
time you synchronize, and vice versa.
n Messages in subfolders in other e-mail folders in Outlook
are synchronized only if the folders have been selected
for synchronization in the Inbox on your Pocket PC
Phone.
SMS messages are not received in your Inbox
through synchronization. Instead, they are sent
to your phone by way of your service provider.
