Purpose & Scope

This article explains how to synchronize a Windows Mobile 6 device with an MDaemon user's calendars and contacts, without the need for third party software.

Procedure

ActiveSync Implementation Requirement

WARNING: When you enable ActiveSync for MDaemon the first time:

• It will wipe your existing contact and calendar data and replace it with your MDaemon data. Therefore, be sure you have a complete back up of your device before synchronizing the first time. You can consult your device’s manual for instructions on how to back up your device.
• All first time syncs with ActiveSync will be a one way sync from the server to the device! After the initial syncronization, the sync will become two way.
• ActiveSync is a web-service extension, and will not work if your web- server (such as WorldClient) is not running on port 80 (for http) and/or port 443 (for https). ActiveSync will not work on other ports.

1. Start ActiveSync on your device
   
    
2. Touch set up your device to sync with it
   
    
3. Enter your Email address (example: user01@example.com)
4. Uncheck Attempt to detect Exchange Server Settings automatically
5. Touch Next
   
    
6. Enter your Server address (For GoZone Use: webmail.gozonehosting.com)
7. Depending on your WorldClient server settings (with or without SSL), you may need to uncheck The server requires an encrypted (SSL) connection (enabled by default on most devices).
   Note: If you uncheck The Server requires an encrypted (SSL) connection, you will receive a warning message: 'You are choosing to sync without a secure connection. This may put your password and personal data at risk.' Click Ok
8. Touch Next
   
    
9. Fill in the following fields:
   • Enter User name: The 'mailbox' portion of your email address (example: user01)
   • Enter Password: Your password
   • Enter Domain: The 'domain' portion of your email address (exmaple: example.com)
   • Leave Save password selected to allow automatic synchronizations in the future.
10. Touch Next
    
     
11. Uncheck E-Mail
    Note: The current implementation of ActiveSync in MDaemon does not support synchronization of Email.
    
     
12. Optional: If you would like to control the date range of the items loaded to the mobile device.
    1. Touch Settings
       
    2. Select period of time you would like synchronized
    3. Touch ok
