You can use Windows Mobile to configure synchronization options for users.

Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync can synchronize e-mail messages, contacts, calendar items, and tasks between a user's Microsoft Exchange mailbox and the user's mobile phone. Exchange ActiveSync can't synchronize Microsoft Outlook Notes to a mobile phone.

There are many different phones that use Exchange ActiveSync and synchronize with Microsoft Exchange Server 2010. The steps in this topic are designed for Windows Mobile 6.0.

Note

For information about how to configure phones that don't use Windows Mobile, or phones that use versions of Windows Mobile other than Windows Mobile 6.0 to synchronize with Exchange, see the documentation for your mobile phone.
