With Microsoft ActiveSync.

Microsoft ActiveSync acts as the gateway between your Windows powered PC and Windows Mobile powered device, enabling the transfer of Outlook information, Office documents, pictures, music, videos and applications from your desktop to your device. In addition to synchronizing with a desktop PC, ActiveSync can synchronize directly with Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 and up so that you can keep your e-mail, Calendar, Notes, and Contacts updated wirelessly when you’re away from your PC.

When to use ActiveSync:

  • Synchronizing Outlook email, calendar, contacts, and task with your PC
  • Transferring documents, music, videos, and applications to and from your PC
  • Downloading corporate email directly from the MSFT Exchange Server
