This flow diagram is based on the synchronization of MS Outlook 2010 (64-bit) using a PC with the Windows 7 operating system. Note that iTunes does not offer a true
synchronizaton of email. In other words, if an email is deleted from an iPhone, that same email will still appear in the MS Outlook inbox on the PC. True email
synchronization is achieved via the iCloud app which requires creating an Apple ID. More details on this topic are included in a full article at at www.eqbsystems.com/
