Can I sync my email, calendar, and contacts to my phone or tablet?
The Exchange Basic plan will let your device make a POP3 or IMAP connection to retrieve and send your email. The Basic plan does not let you sync your contacts, or calendar with your mobile device. Additionally, email that is read, sent or received does not sync with the Hosted Exchange Servers. For example if you send an email from your mobile device the sent message will not show up in Outlook.
The Exchange Standard and Enterprise plans utilize ActiveSync to synchronize email, calendars, and contacts with your mobile device. So, if you send an email, add a calendar appointment, or change a contact on your mobile device those changes will be reflected in Outlook or Outlook Web App.
