Hi !
I am trying to find different ways to synchronise with the Exchange Server that I use.
I have Outlook2007 on my home PC and synchronise my Kaiser with the PC's Outlook 2007.
I can see that I can change the location to the actual server in Microsoft ActiveSynch -> Tools -> Options
But when I try this, after a long wait it fails and gives the error message -
80072EE2
I find on a search that this means " The request has timed out. It is generally a temporary or recoverable situation. Try again later "
But it never seems to connect.
I do know that the exchange server and the home PC holds much the same info, for me, so, in reality, I do not need to synch to the exchange server at home.
But I am interested to know if I can synch, when out and about, using
a) a gprs connection,
b) the Kaisers WiFi
I am reading and searching but if anyone has any useful pointers, it would be much appreciated!
Thanks

Your best bet is to do it slightly differently.
I assume your Exchange 2003 SP2 or 2007?
If so I assume you have an OWA server setup? if not set it up.
Then just go into (on the device), activesync, Configure Server, pop in the internet name of the server running OWA, pop user/pass in, then the rest of the settings as you want them
This has benefits over syncing with Outlook, the majour one being live mail (push mail).
One downside is (depending on your lan config), that the internet name of the server will not be accesable through WiFi on the same lan. To fix this make sure your DNS server knows the internal IP of the server, and map it to the internet name (i.e. if you internet server is mail.my.com then tell your internal DNS server to map that hostname to the internal IP).
After having push mail, you wont go back....
Hi the_ape!
thanks for your reply... I don't understand all, but I will work on it!
I use Outlook2007 on my PC and it connects to the university's
owa.name_of_uni.ac.uk
I wanted to see if I could synch with the server, download emails, reply, add contacts or calendar items, and deal with them at leisure, but when I am away from home.
I know I can use PIE or Opera to go to owa.name_of_uni.ac.uk but I think a gprs connection remains active...
I could see that Microsoft email push is an option on my phone but this is all new for me!

Setup on Outlook 2003/2007:
If you have an existing Outlook profile, follow steps 1-4..otherwise skip to the next section. These steps are for XP based machine. If you have Vista it will be similar but not exactly the same.
1. In Outlook, go to File --> Import and Export --> Export to a file --> Personal Folder File (.pst) --> click on the root folder in this window and choose “select subfolders” --> Click Next --> click browse and choose a location and file name for your .pst file. I suggest the desktop. --> Click Finish --> Click OK.
2. Let Outlook finish exporting your data. This make take anywhere from 1 minute to 30-45 minutes depending on how much data you have (e-mail’s, contacts, calendar).
3. On your XP Machine, go to Start, Control Panel.
a. Make sure your Control Panel is set to Classic View (Upper left hand corner of the window). If it says “switch to Category view” then you are good, but if it says “switch to classic view” then you should click it.
4. Double click on the Mail Icon within the Control Panel.
a. Click on “Show Profiles”
b. You should see your profiles here, most people will have one one and it will be called “Outlook.” THERE IS NO NEED TO REMOVE THIS!
c. Click “Add” --> Type in a Profile name (e.g. Exchange 2007) --> Then proceed to step 1 below.
-----
1. If using Outlook 2007, At the prompt where you choose manual. If using 2003, ignore this part and proceed to the next step.
a. add a email account and choose Microsoft Exchange.
2. Microsoft Exchange Server:
3. Username: Full Name given at Signup.
4. then hit More Settings
5. then click on Connection
6. then click on "Connect to Microsoft Exchange using HTTP" and then click on "Exchange Proxy Settings"
7. then type in mail.(your server).com for the URL
8. make sure SSL is checked
9. click on fast and slow networks, and choose basic authentication
10. Click “OK” twice
11. Then click Check Name
12. And the username/password box will pop open
13. Type in (Your Server)/User (this user is your e-mail address. For Example: your email address is [email protected], this is johndoe)
14. Type in Password
15. Server Name and User Name should now be underlined.
16. Congratulations! You are finished!
Setup on your PPC Device:
----
1. Start -> Programs -> ActiveSync -> Menu Configure Server
a. Server address:
b. Tick on ssl connection if your server uses SSL
c. Username: name
d. Password:
e. Domain:
f. Next -> Finish
g. Sync & Njoy
----
Setup on MS Entourage
1. Account name =
2. Name = Your Name Given at signup
3. Email = your email
4. Accountid= your ID before @
5. Domain =
6. Password =
7. Exchange server =
8. Check that server requires ssl....
9. Uncheck everything under advanced.
10. It should now work!
First of all thanks for your jewel job
I would want to signal the fact that I have followed step by step the whole procedure for the configuration of the server exchange but when I go to cover on the check name unfortunately it doesn't recognize me the inserted password. But is the password that of my email?
Thanks
Thanks austinsnyc!
I have read thoroughly, thanks !!
What does this mean ! " First of all thanks for your jewel job "
I am already using Microsoft Exchange on my PC using Outlook 2007.
The exchange account is managed by the local university. So I think I do not need to worry about sections 1 and 2...
I think I have a stupid question!!!
How do I find my 'domain name' ? That is the only setting I have mssing!
Now wading through uni. info to see if I can find it!

Usually it's the name_of_uni in your name_of_uni.ac.uk - if it doesn't work, you'll need to contact tech support at your uni to find out.
Hi Illrigger!
Thanks! I saw that too, on the university setup information.
On my Kaiser, that box is grayed out so I can't input it there !
I will keep at it!

once you put that @ sign in the user name feild the option for domain disappears. this is something new with wm6. so just try your email address and password without the domain. see what happens. it should work.
Yeah should be fine, you have a choice of using either the domain name, or the @ sign.
basicaly the domain name is everything after @, so username AT domain name
Let us know if there is a problem...
Oh to make sure that the Uni has the functionality turned on, try going to domainname/Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync
It should come up blank on a web browser, but that is the WebServices folder for this functionality.
Hi the_ape!
could you explain this last bit more please....

because, my university often does not want to support anything other that on-site, residence and dial up services!
with 'try going to' - how am I doing this? frm a PC, Kaiser ?
If I look at my Kaiser I can see ----
Programs > ActiveSynch > Meu > Configure Server ...
I have checked the server name, but the Kaiser took this information from the PC when synching with Outlook 2007.. I feel..
SSL is ticked.
Next -
User name is [email protected]_uni.co.uk ( it is not my email address. )
Password is correct and I re-typed it...
Domain - is light green, and cannot receive input.
save password is ticked.
Advanced -
If there is a conflict - Relace Item on my Device
Event logging - none
Connection - Internet ( only internet available. )
Next
Edit server settings -
All are unchecked - Contacts, Calendar, E-mail, Tasks ... because, for now, I synch to the PC's Outlook 2007. But I have experimented with these and get the Support Code - 80072ee2
Menu > Connections show USB only.
I know, when I am at home, my Outlook2007 on the PC is kept synched with the Exchange Server.... so yes, don't need this...
But I am hoping to do this via WiFi... at University or other WiFi hotspots.
Sorry to be so unclear !
Another edit - if I click on ActiveSynch - Tools - Advanced Tools - Get Device Certificates................. There aren't any!

quick question, if the name of the exchange server is different the first time you connect to it (i.e. "autodetect.name of univ.edu"), should we use that or the exchange server address AFTER it has been initially configured?
Doug2873
I got a feeling that you are correct because I got the Microsoft Exchange Server working now....
Outlook 2007 PC address on the PC was different to what I input to synchronise with my Kaiser !
Attachments in Hotmail still do not work, but don't care...! The email throught M.E.S. gives what I need !
Ofiaich
did you get it working?
Hi navigater!
I got the Microsoft Exchange server working,
but not attachments in Hotmail Live email.

Hi all,
The proxy server is used in wireless system at my work. I enabled proxy server configuration in communication manager and i can connect web sites with internet explorer.
My question is, while i am unable to connect windows live messenger, there're also no proxy configuration on it. Are tehere any way to use messenger through proxy server ?
Or, i guess Windows Live for Windows Mobile is brand application came with WM6.0. Do you know may i use old messenger versions via proxy? Or do you know any other msn client with proxy support ?
Thanks in advance for your help.
you can setup the proxy in live messenger
I couldnt find any place to enter a proxy address in messenger. Could you please tell me where can i enter the proxy?
hey, I connect through a proxy for all my internet (using tmobile usa), and I was never able to figure out how to use windows live via proxy. however to download my hotmail emails I finally found a work around. you have to upgrade ur hotmail account to hotmail plus (20 dollars/year). now u have access to pop settings and set up a new email account using those settings (not through windows live) good luck
omar
I do not care mails, i even dont use hotmail for mailing.
i need to instant messaging to keep talking with my girlfriend.
You can't use a proxy server to access WLM Service from your Pocket PC. It simply doesn't support this.
The way that the client communicates with the Messenger service greatly differs when using a proxy, and support for this is not available in the mobile client. You NEED to create a direct connection, which thus prevents you from connecting in networks where using a proxy server (HTTP or SOCKS) is mandatory.
My mobile connected to Wifi but I couldnot surf WEB cause I didn't know how to setting up
my working Proxy via port 8080.
Help me!
Same problem here, but a little diferent.
I connect to the proxy server in my office network trough wireless access point, and then it asks me for the user credentials. I put in the credentials (i have an unrestricted account, i'm one of the administrators) but then it keeps asking me for them as if i had used wrong credentials! Are there any configuration on the proxy server to accept WM6.1 connections?
Thank's!
I have been unable to establish a connection to the email server.
My work email requires port 993 assigned to use ssl.
Can anyone tell me where I assign port 993 to use SSL?
Thanks
EDIT: using my 8925 to access my work email account. Mail server is groupwise. I can access it while not using SSL but they require SSL and will eventually block my current port.
Thanks
I had been trying to make the changes to an existing account that I created and selected not to use ssl when it was created.
I finally decided to delete the existing account......reboot the device......create the account new and select use ssl at creation of the account and it automatically uses the right port.
That fixed my problem!
Thanks
I installed Dutty's newest 6.1 last night and cannot get Exchange to sync. I used the bundled connection setup tool to set for AT&T. When I start the sync, it comes to a screen that asks me for my Exchange password, but it won't accept it and keeps asking for it. I know I am using the correct password and I reset it just to make sure. I don't have this problem on my Treo when I set up Exchange sync. I tried changing the advanced connection settings from MEdia Net to My ISP and that hasn't worked either. Any ideas anyone?
ActiveSync Results:
Result: Access was denied. Choose Configure Server on the ActiveSync menu to check your server username and password.
Support code: 0x85010002
Halp? Please?
double check your exchange server settings, sometime or most the time you need ssl checked.Your domain correct as well.Also too u prob need the server cert installed to your device.
Google the support code
Every time I try and sync I get the error code 0x8501004 ... I have no idea why or how to fix this, I've done searches and everything and nothing helps.. I have a feeling it has to do with me not having a certificate.. any ideas?
Thanks
There has to be exchange experts here $10 for ne1 that can help.. problem may be my corporation may not allow mobile devices, but i dont know if thats 100% true or not..
Is there a work around to fix this if my corporation doesn't allow it?
Thanks
On ocassions I've struggled to link to an exchange server, I've had to disable to the proxy server in system->connections tab-> connections->manage my proxy server and untick this connection uses a proxy server.
Is this just syncing with your PC or with an exchange server?

Just an exchange server.. I think they may have blocked mobile access to the exchange server.. Do you know if there is a way to forward my email/calendar/etc at exchange speeds to bypass the mobile block? or any way to bypass it?
You must be granted to access the Exchange server with a mobile device and your company must have set up sync with the Exchange server.

There are no work arounds? even if I can access exchange via IE?
http://www.google.nl/search?hl=nl&q=0x8501004+++active+sync&meta=
Should give you enough reading material. What does eventviewer say on your exchange server ? Any error messages in your eventlogs
try to enable ssl?
a workaround may be to set up auto email forwarding to a pop3/imap account. yo can do that from your desktop pc.
at least you are able to receive all incoming items.
sending email would also somehow work if you put your company's email in the reply address field.
I came across this issue recently, what rom are you using and what software do you have installed?
