How does wireless E-mail work with ActiveSync?
02 Aug 2007 11:21
Following the post on the availability of wireless
synchronization direct from CommuniGate Pro, a few people have
asked what E-mail data is available on their mobile device via
CommuniGate Pro's AirSync. The ActiveSync settings on the mobile
phone or PDA may allow you to specify the following configuration
options:
These are all functions of an ActiveSync with AirSync E-mail client in Windows Mobile, and CommuniGate Pro supports them all. The live test of these features is still available for accounts created at http://www.talktoip.com.
- From how far back in the past should data be synchronized? On
some devices you can tell the server to sync only with E-mail
messages dating back as far as 1 week excluding intentionally all
E-mail messages you have on the server.
- How much data from each E-mail should be downloaded from the
server? If you choose to not download all contents of each E-mail
message, you will see a link inside each message on your device
offering to "download the entire message". If you select to do that
the message will be downloaded in its entirety the next time you
connect.
- There is also an option for downloading attachments
automatically with a maximum size threshold. If an attachment is
larger than the maximum size specified a link to download the
entire attachment should appear in the message.
- Which E-mail account folders should be synchronized? If you
have 40 folders in your account, you should see them all in
ActiveSync, but only those that you explicitly marked for
synchronization will contain messages.
These are all functions of an ActiveSync with AirSync E-mail client in Windows Mobile, and CommuniGate Pro supports them all. The live test of these features is still available for accounts created at http://www.talktoip.com.
