Mobile favorites take up storage memory on the terminal. To minimize the amount of memory used:

• In the settings for the Favorites information type in ActiveSync options, turn off pictures and sounds, or stop specific

mobile favorites from being downloaded to the terminal. For more information, see ActiveSync Help.
