Synchronize as items arrive

You can schedule automatic synchronization between your device and Microsoft Exchange every time an item arrives or is changed in Microsoft Exchange, after your first full synchronization with Microsoft Exchange. You can synchronize information automatically as items arrive only if your company is running Microsoft Exchange with Exchange ActiveSync.

  1. Click Tools, then click Schedule.
  2. Do one or both of the following:
    • Under Peak times, select When new items arrive. It's more cost-efficient to synchronize on a regular schedule when mail volume is high, instead of when new items arrive.
    • Under Off-peak times, select When new items arrive. This can be more cost-efficient than synchronizing on a regular schedule when mail volume is low.

Note

To set the days and hours that make up your peak and off-peak times, click Change Times.

Some devices or versions of Microsoft Exchange may also require you to specify a device address to use this feature.
