We use completely different synchronization implementations for IMAP and ActiveSync. This is an outgrowth of differences in the protocols. | |||
=== Key IMAP / ActiveSync Differences === | |||
* Fixed sync windows versus flexible sync windows | |||
** For ActiveSync, we are constrained to sync along exact, pre-defined time boundaries. We can sync 1 day, 3 days, 1 week, 2 weeks, 1 month, or all messages. That's it. | |||
