  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.

  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.

+++ !ActiveSync Versions
+
+Horde 5 adds support for !ActiveSync version 12.0 - the version  
shipped with Exchange Server 2007. This adds HTML email support, flag  
or followup, more atomic policy settings, additional search sources,  
local wipe rules, and WBXML based provisioning (instead of the XML  
used in 2.5). There are a few things to mention regarding 12.0 support:
+
+* It seems some device, most notably older Android devices that will  
not automatically detect the new version support - even if the device  
is removed from Horde. You must actually remove the account from the  
device and configure it again. So, if you are not seeing 12.0 only  
features, be sure to try re-adding the account to the device.
+* It seems that iOS devices do NOT support 12.0. The device will  
communicate using version 2.5 with a 12.0 server. The next version  
they support is 12.1 - what ships with Exchange Server 2007sp1.  
Support for this version is planned for an upcoming Horde 5.x release.

  ++ Administration
  Administrators can view all of the !ActiveSync devices paired with  
the server. This is the //!ActiveSync Devices// link located under the  
Administration menu. From here an administrator can request a remote  
wipe, or force a re-provisioning of any device.

  ++ Todo

  * Implement more recent protocol version support - EAS 12.0  
(Exchange 2007) or EAS 12.1 (Exchange 2007sp1).
-
-EAS 12 adds HTML/RTF email, more atomic policy settings, additional  
search sources, local wipe rules, and WBXML based provisioning instead  
of the plaintext xml sent in 2.5.

  EAS 12.1 adds binary encoded request variables (reduced bandwidth),  
additional security policies, and a revamped SYNC command that does  
away with the need for an additional PING request (reduced bandwidth  
as well as reduced battery usage).
