Chapter 7 Synchronizing Information 55
Note: SMS messages are not received in your Inbox through synchronization. Instead, they are sent to
your phone by way of your service provider.
Synchronizing Calendar
Calendar items stored on your phone can be synchronized with calendar items stored on your desktop
computer or on a Microsoft Exchange Server. By default, calendar items from the last two weeks will
be synchronized.
Calendar items created on your phone are copied to your desktop computer and/or server during
synchronization, and vice versa. Similarly, Calendar items that are deleted from your phone are deleted
from your desktop computer and/or server during synchronization, and vice versa. This keeps your
information up-to-date in all locations.
Synchronizing Contacts
Contacts stored on your phone can be synchronized with contacts stored on your desktop computer or
on a Microsoft Exchange Server. By default, all of your contacts will be synchronized.
Contacts created on your phone are copied to your desktop computer and/or server during
synchronization, and vice versa. Similarly, contacts that are deleted from your phone are deleted from
your desktop computer and/or server during synchronization, and vice versa. This keeps your
information up-to-date in all locations.
Synchronizing Tasks
Tasks stored on your phone can be synchronized with tasks stored on your desktop computer. Task
synchronization is automatically selected in ActiveSync. By default, all of your incomplete tasks will be
synchronized.
Tasks created on your phone are copied to your desktop computer during synchronization, and vice
versa. Similarly, tasks that are deleted from your phone are deleted from your desktop computer during
synchronization, and vice versa. This keeps your information up-to-date in all locations.
Note: Tasks can be synchronized only with your desktop computer; they cannot be synchronized with a
server.
Synchronizing Using an Infrared Connection
You can use an infrared connection to create a direct connection between your phone and another
mobile device or desktop computer quickly. This method is ideal for quickly switching between
multiple devices since there are no cables or adapters to change. When creating a partnership, you must
connect using infrared, a cable, or a cradle connection.
For more information about synchronizing using an infrared connection or other connection types, see
ActiveSync Help on your desktop computer.
ActiveSync Errors
Whenever ActiveSync cannot successfully synchronize your information, it displays an error on your
phone.
