ActiveSync provides a great synchronization experience with Windows®-based PCs and Microsoft Outlook right out of the box. ActiveSync acts as the gateway between your Windows-based PC and Windows Mobile-based device, enabling the transfer of Outlook information, Office documents, pictures, music, videos and applications to and from your device. ... Changes in ActiveSync 4.2 help resolve connectivity related issues with Microsoft Outlook, proxies, partnerships, and connectivity."</i><br /><br />Microsoft has officially released the ActiveSync version 4.2. Even though this version is compatible with Windows Mobile 2002, 2003 and 2003 SE devices, we will not recommend this upgrade unless you have a Windows Mobile 5.0 device because version 4.x removes the ability to remote sync via the network, either via Wi-Fi or over the Internet. Following is the list of fixes/improvements in this version:<br />• Microsoft Outlook Improvements: Resolves issues relating to error code 85010014.<br />• Proxy/DTPT interaction Improvements: Improved auto configuration of device Connection Manager settings when desktop has no proxy path to the internet.<br />• Improved Desktop Pass Thru behavior with ISA proxy failures.<br />• Partnership improvements: Better resolution of multiple devices with the same name syncing with the same desktop.<br />• Connectivity Improvements: Better handling of VPN clients (resolve unbinding of protocols from our RNDIS adapter). New auto detection of connectivity failure with user diagnostic alerts.
