Outlook e-mail, calendar, and documents sync off my school server, is this possible?

[andymaki164]

I just got my touch over school break. Using active sync i can load most my files into the Touch. What I really would like, is to have all my email and calendar appointments off our school server to sync to my phone before I leave school everyday. Reason being, our teachers e-mail us everything as far as assignments and grades go. So when I can not connect to the server at home, I would like to be able to have the files on my phone to use when I am not by my laptop. So far i got the web server adress but it says the is an error they wont let me sync my settings contact server admin. It synced through alot but i have nothing updated on my calendar or e-mail. Definite NOOB question but any help would be appreciated. The IT bums at school seem to think I shouldnt try it and against policy. Which is BS to me. Thanks in advance for any directions....
