Get your work done nearly anytime, anywhere, with Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync compatible devices. When you use the Microsoft Windows Mobile-based devices or Exchange ActiveSync-enabled mobile devices that are available through Microsoft partners, it's easy to gain mobile access to Exchange Server for e-mail messages, voice mail, fax messages, schedules, contact information, and tasks lists.

Exchange ActiveSync

Exchange ActiveSync is a communication protocol that enables mobile, "over-the-air" access to your e-mail messages, schedules, contacts, tasks lists, and other Exchange Server mailbox data. Exchange ActiveSync is available on both Windows Mobile-based devices and Exchange ActiveSync-enabled devices.

Exchange ActiveSync offers Direct Push Technology, enabling a seamless push e-mail experience for compatible devices. Exchange ActiveSync uses an encrypted HTTPS connection, established and maintained between the device and the server to wirelessly push new e-mail messages, schedules, contact information, and tasks to the device. Synchronization is extremely fast, with enhanced data compression that enables rapid sending and receiving of messages.

Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 builds upon the solid, highly scalable foundation of Exchange ActiveSync to deliver even more powerful mobile messaging. It includes message flags, HTML mail, and other productivity-enhancing features. It also offers innovative new capabilities such as allowing you to search the entirety of your mailbox from the mobile device, including messages not currently synced to the device. This helps overcome the limited resources of a mobile device, and not limiting your access to just the portion that fits in device memory.

The Exchange ActiveSync protocol also provides for control over mobile devices, including the ability to provision and enforce device security policies. Exchange Server 2007 makes improvements in this area as well, allowing for per-user policies, better control of which devices can synchronize with Exchange Server, and enhanced monitoring and logging.

Exchange Server 2007 also moves to an increasingly self-service model for device maintenance, such as allowing users to wipe data from their device from Outlook Web Access if their device is lost or stolen.

Exchange ActiveSync compatibility is built into Windows Mobile–based devices. You experience the same familiar Microsoft Office Outlook environment, extended from your desktop or laptop to your mobile device. You also enjoy the benefits of the direct integration with Exchange ActiveSync, avoiding expensive middleware or service fees that might be required with other mobile solutions.
