Note:
Exchange ActiveSync is an Exchange synchronisation protocol optimised to work with high latency, low bandwidth networks. The protocol, which is based on HTTP and XML code, allows mobile phones to access an organisation's information typically on a server running Microsoft Exchange.
Exchange ActiveSync allows mobile phone users to access their email, calendar, contacts and tasks, which they can access when offline.
This is not a recommended protocol when using heavy applications (Outlook) on a user workstation.
