[MS-ASCMD]: ActiveSync Command Reference Protocol Specification

Value Meaning Email Calendar Tasks
7 6 months back No Yes No
8 Filter by incomplete tasks No No Yes
When the FilterType element is specified, the server manages objects on the client to maintain the
time window. New objects are added when they are within the time window. The server sends
SoftDelete (section 2.2.3.147) operations for objects on the client when they become older than
the window.
Calendar items that are in the future or that have recurrence but no end date are sent to the client
regardless of the FilterType element value. Calendar items that fall between the FilterType
element value and the present time are returned to the client. For example, an appointment that
occurred two weeks ago is returned when the FilterType element value is set to 5 (one month
back). The result of including a FilterType element value of 8 for a Calendar item is undefined. The
server MAY return a protocol status error in response to such a command request.
The FilterType element is a child of the Options element. Therefore, it appears only in requests to
the server from the client.
The result of including more than one FilterType element as the child of the Options element is
undefined. The server MAY return a protocol status error in response to such a command request.
If the FilterType element is omitted, all objects are sent from the server without regard for their
age. Clients MUST send a maximum of one FilterType element.
The server ignores the FilterType element if it is included in a contact Sync request, no error is
thrown.
The server returns a Status element (section 2.2.3.152.16) value of 4 if a FilterType element
value of 8 is included in an email Sync request.
The following Options element in a synchronization request on an Inbox specifies that only e-mail
messages that date back three days are returned to the client in the server synchronization
response.
