ActiveSync is a proprietary Microsoft protocol that allows mobile devices to synchronize emails, contacts, and calendar events with a Microsoft Exchange Server. Introduced in 2003, it has since been adopted by various mobile operating systems and email clients, providing seamless integration with Microsoft Exchange.
Checking ActiveSync settings is essential for ensuring proper synchronization between devices and the Exchange Server. Incorrect configurations can lead to synchronization issues, affecting email accessibility, contact management, and scheduling. By verifying ActiveSync settings, users can troubleshoot and resolve any synchronization problems.
