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 business appointments from the past two weeks only.
To control the volume of information synchronized, see the ‘Synchronizing ...” section
“Using the Windows Mobile Programs” on page 63.
NOTE: ActiveSync does not support synchronizing 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 device to your computer.
2 Click Tools > Options.
3 Select the information type that you want to synchronize.
4 If available, click Settings, and then select the options you want.
5 Repeat steps 2 and 3 for each information type.
ActiveSync errors
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.
