!ActiveSync email support requires an IMAP server. POP3 is not supported. It will use the same server that IMP is configured to connect to. It is recommended that this server support the QRESYNC server extension for performance reasons, though it will work without this. It can also help performance if an IMAP proxy is used.

The only flags supported by !ActiveSync are the //seen// and //flagged for follow up// flags. Flag changes will be synchronized, but flag changes alone will **not** trigger a SYNC for performance reasons. The only thing that will trigger a SYNC is the arrival of a new message (technically, an increase in the NEXTUID value). Once this SYNC is triggered though, all message changes are taken into account - including any flag changes.

-Since !ActiveSync does not support the //deleted// flag, messages in a mailbox with this flag are ignored when syncing. Deleting a message on the device will do one of two things; If the user has enabled a Trash mailbox then the message will be moved to that mailbox. Otherwise, the message is immediately expunged. This is in accordance with the !ActiveSync protocol specs. The solution therefore to "hiding" deleted messages on the !ActiveSync device is to configure the use of a trash folder in your imp preferences. +Since !ActiveSync does not support the //deleted// flag, messages in a mailbox with this flag are ignored when syncing.

These messages will only be removed from the !ActiveSync client once expunged from the mailbox. This is in accordance with the !ActiveSync protocol specs. If you wish to ensure all message deletions are synched quickly to the device, you should configure the use of a Trash folder.

Forwarding a message will always attempt to put the main message text body in-line and keep any original attachments. It seems that a number of devices cannot view message/rfc822 attachments, so any messages that have been forwarded as an attachment may not be viewable in the !ActiveSync mail client.
