How does a Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync email account differ from
other accounts?
An email account that uses Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync differs from other accounts in the
following areas:
• Setting up an account
• Getting messages
• Downloading attachments
• Receiving and working with meeting invitations
• Receiving and working with Calendar events
These features are discussed in this chapter. Most other features of a Microsoft Exchange
ActiveSync account, such as sending messages or attaching files to messages, work like the
features of any other account.
Email accounts that use Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync do not support mail filters
.
Also, you cannot set server preferences
from the VersaMail Preferences screen for this type of
account.
Setting up a Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync account
Although Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync works with both the VersaMail and Calendar
applications, you must set up a Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync account in VersaMail.
NOTE
Did You Know?
When you set up a
Microsoft Exchange
ActiveSync account, all
existing Calendar events
are purged from your
device. Then, when you
synchronize your device
with your Exchange
server, events from the
past seven days are
downloaded to your
device. So you don’t end
up with duplicate events.
Tip
Another way an account
that uses Microsoft
Exchange ActiveSync
differs from other
accounts is that there is
no bcc
option when you
send a message.
