ActiveSync Shows Up-To-Date After Changing an E-Mail Attachment

ID: Q185407

The information in this article applies to:

• Microsoft Windows CE Services, versions 2.0, 2.1
• Microsoft Windows CE version 2.0 for the Handheld PC
• Microsoft Windows CE version 2.0 for the Palm-size PC

SYMPTOMS

After you change the text in an e-mail attachment and run ActiveSync, the Up-To-Date message is displayed in the Connection Status dialog box.

CAUSE

This occurs because ActiveSync uses only the Read or Unread status of an e-mail message to determine if an e-mail message has been updated.
