CHAPTER 9 Your Email
Working with Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync
Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync works with the VersaMail and Calendar applications on your
handheld to directly access corporate groupware information on a Microsoft Exchange 2003
server. You can access business email and calendar info on the Exchange 2003 server from your
handheld without using a desktop computer.
When you create a Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync account in the VersaMail application, both
your email and calendar info synchronize directly with the Exchange server; information does not
synchronize with the desktop software application on your computer, such as Microsoft Outlook or
Palm
®
Desktop software. Other information, such as contacts, tasks, and memos, continues to
synchronize with your desktop software.
For most VersaMail features, using a Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync account works the same
as using any other type of account. However, certain features—such as automatically retrieving
and resending email messages and downloading attachments—work differently for Microsoft
Exchange ActiveSync accounts. Also, the account setup procedure is slightly different for a
Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync account. And, with a Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync account,
you can receive and reply to meeting invitations directly from within the VersaMail application.
For complete information on using a Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync account, see the U
ser Guide
for your handheld on the web.
