What is ActiveSync?
ActiveSync is a software application that allows you to synchronize
information between your local Outlook client and your Windows Mobile.
ActiveSync is integrated into Exchange Server 2007 and this provides you
with the option of directly synchronizing information between your
mobile device and your exchange mailbox. The latest version of
ActiveSync can be downloaded from Microsoft.
Please note that in Windows Vista, ActiveSync is replaced with the Windows Sync Center.

ActiveSync for other Email Account Types
Technically, you cannot add Exchange features to an email account not
hosted on an Exchange Server. However, with the myhosting.com Hosted
Exchange Email Professional Plan, you can configure a scenario in which
you forward your non-Exchange email to your Exchange mailbox, and change
the FROM address to your existing email address.
- First, sign up for a Professional account.
- Once your account is active, you can then set up a Alternate Email Address, using your existing, non-Exchange email address.
- Next, you can forward all your email from your existing email
address to your new Exchange mailbox, either via Email Forwarding from
your email provider's options, or by using our Email Aggregator feature.
(This will work only with email providers who allow you to forward your
email, or providers who offer POP3/IMAP4 access to their mailboxes.)
- Finally, you can change set the Primary From Address for your
exchange account to the Alternate Email Address you created in step 2.
Alternately, this can be easily configured by following the NEW FEATURE link from the Manage Account page of your Hosted Exchange Email Control Panel.
As a result, all your incoming mail to your non-Exchange email
address will be forwarded to your Exchange account, and whenever you
send email from your Exchange account, it will appear to have come from
your non-Exchange email address. This powerful set of features allows
you to add Exchange features without having to change your email
address, ensuring that all your existing contacts will still be able to
reach you.
ActiveSync reports "Server certificate expired" or "INTERNET_37" errors
When attempting to ActiveSync from your Windows Mobile 2002/2003
PocketPC or Windows Mobile device, if you receive a "Server certificate
expired" or "INTERNET_37" error, this may indicate that the date and
time set on your device is incorrect.
To correct the problem, you can update the date and time on your
device and try again. Cradling your device to your PC will automatically
sync the device with the correct date and time if you have enabled the
option from your ActiveSync settings and if your PC has the correct date
and time..
