Sync Settings

Sync Settings allow you to select the accounts to process for email, calendar, contacts, tasks and memos and the folders to which items will synchronize. 

You can also specify synchronization ranges for mail and calendar information.  The mail and calendar synchronization ranges serve as cleanup filters which allow users to control the amount of data that is kept on a device. 

Synchronize Multiple Server-side PIM Folders

Multiple Calendar, Contact, Task, and Memo folders on the server can be synchronized to the device using Sync Settings.  In the example below, the user has chosen to synchronize multiple calendar folders, “Personal” and “Calendar,” to the device’s “Default” Calendar.

Memo Synchronization 

“Memo” items on the device map to “Notes” on the server, the term used by the ActiveSync protocol for this type of PIM item.

Sync Settings Menu Options

Sync Settings has menu options that may be used for troubleshooting and maintenance related to synchronization.  These options should only be used at the direction of a Technical Support team member.

•      Reload TimeZone Table can be used in the event that updates to time zones occur.  This gives you a way to download new information regarding time zones, which are used by NotifySync in the synchronization of calendar items.

•      Resync All removes all email and PIM data from the device and resynchronizes current information from the server.  This is used as a troubleshooting measure and should not be used to initiate a normal synchronization session.  That can be done using the message list menu option, Sync.
