Hi All,
Sorry if this is a wrong forum.
I have a Kaiser and I want to setup it up to receive my office email on it. Only problem is that my company didn't buy microsoft license for an exchange server, which means I cannot setup my phone with exchange server to receive emails automatically,
Is there any other service which will let me push emails from outlook to the phone through internet?
Please suggest if there is a way to receive emails on phone without the exchange server?
Appreciate your help,
Thanks
yes
I think you just need a soft just like "push mail" and then set it in a right way.I'm sorry I can not take some picture for you so that you can set it by them.
Do they have a webmail or smtp service?

Not sure, All I have is the outlook setup for office emails on my laptop, and I only get emails if I'm connected to the office intranet or log in through the VPN on outside network,What can I use to get the outlook emails on the phone (either directly or through push services)
thank you for your help
For push/pull you (your company) needs to install the services from microsoft.
Can you ask if they have any external services installed? Keep in mind VPN is like if you are in the inside network, just through a secure channel through the internet.
I didn't read yet but if you look in the forums "General" section or use <search> you'll find tons of things regarding VPN access using WM5/6 or WM6.1
IF your company has SMTP (Simple Mail Transport Protocol) services installed you may be able to access company email like you receive gmail or yahoo (though I doubt that they have it installed).

When i get my kaiser, i will be setting it up to sync with outlook at home (via a gmail server). This will sync all my mail with outlook, but I am wondering, is there any way to actively send and recieve mail, that would be reflected in outlook at home, on my Kaiser (without using gmail's website).
I believe this is a no, where i can compose messages, and they would be sent next time i sync at home, and where i will only recieve messages when i sync at home, but I am hopeful that there has been some change with this, as the last time i used this type of stuff it was with a windows mobile pda, with only wifi (i.e. not a smart phone).
Thanks for any and all input.

I think (and others here may have much more elegant solutions) that the easiest way to do what your asking (or at least what I think your asking) is to simply set Activesync on your phone to sync manually (and sync it only when you are at home). If you can elaborate on what it is exactly you are trying to do a better answer will be forthcoming.
this is what i have set up now:
My home comp, set up with outlook 2007, vista, etc.
My HTC Kaiser 3G via AT&T.
They sync when i am at home, so any messages i have composed on the Kaiser get sent, and any emails i have recieved since my last sync get updated on my phone.
If i set up an email account on the phone, it will use push email, and then i will be able to activly send and recieve messages trough 3g while on the go.
Is there a way (other then Exchange Server) to be able to activly use my Outlook Email account on the go, and have those changes reflected in the Outlook on my computer, without setting up a seperate account for email only on the phone?
Hosted Exchange?
These questions are specific to the Kasier but more to how ActiveSync works.
The only way that I know of to sync contacts, calendar and email with Outlook is to use Exchange. You can certainly sync POP email accounts and Hotmail accounts, even Gmail accounts one your phone and the contact info with Hotmail but not calendar entries.
To me the most comprehensive solution would be to get a hosted exchange account and then sync with it. You can install Outlook on your computer and connect via RPC over HTTPS (if using Exchange 2003) or Outlook Anywhere (if using Exchange 2007) Hosted Exchange services are not very expensive and they work well. Simple google search will give you all the details.
There is even another Microsoft Exchange thread on this Kaiser forum that mentions 2 different "free" hosted exchange servers

Hi,
My law school uses Microsoft Outlook Web Access (OWA) for e-mail exchange and I am having a bit of difficulty getting it to connect to my ATT Tilt (w/ 6.1 default rom).
The main problem is that unlike my Gmail, the OWA doesn't have any options for enabling forwarding/POP/IMAP.
A faculty member of the IT department had sent out an e-mail last month with instructions on how to sync the OWA with IPhones and I tried to follow his instructions, but the problem I am now running into is that the Tilt requires a server name (I believe it is mail.uchastings.edu) and a domain name (?????).
I would appreciate any help if someone can help me with this. The server will not get the settings itself since I can't enable POP or IMAP.
I set almost everything perfecting, except when I tried to to connect to download mail, it would take me to the page that requested my username, password, and domain name. So i believe I am putting the domain name incorrecting since I tried a variety of my login.
Are you trying to use active sync? That is what it sounds like

I don't mind using activesync (although I prefer to be able to use the internet to access my mailbox).
I know you can access it through the web because when I attempted to get it working, I followed the following steps:
1. Clicked on Outlook e-mail
2. Server address: mail.uchastings.edu
3. Fails to obtain settings
4. I tell it that it is an Outlook server, not internet e-mail
5. Username: myusername
6. Password: mypassword
7. Domain: ????? (don't know what to put)
8. Asks me what items I want to sync (Mail, Contacts, Tasks, Calendar)
9. I click on Send/Recieve and it takes me back to the screen which asks for items 5-7.
That is the problem I am having and I believe it is probably the domain name that I am messing up on since I have tried to do a variety of my username and it won't work.
The e-mail server (OWA) is Microsoft Outlook, but it is inside a webbrowser. When I click on options, it won't give me a Pop/Imap option so I have to set it up as an outlook e-mail.
Hope that clears some items up.
You cannot sync Outlook Web Mail with Pocket Outlook in standard POP3 style. You would have to setup either Exchange Push Mail, or just log in to OWA using Pocket IE (gag).
The iPhone is able to sync using the Exchange protocol with its latest firmware that shipped at the launch of the 3G iPhone.
-Edit-
You need to uncheck the option for Outlook to auto detect your settings, and then select Exchange server from the options. I would then contact your school's IT department and ask them for the settings required to setup your phone to sync.

by active sync I meant wireless active sync through exchange. I would confirm the server address with the IT department and you will also more than likely need a certificate if SSL is used which it should.
domain I would imagine would be uchastings
From my experience with wireless activesync the certificate is 99% of the problem
Thanks guys for all the help. There is a guy at the IT which I have been e-mailing who is helpful, but the problem is he doesn't have a Tilt so he doesn't know the actual set up. I can post his set-up (which shows the servers, etc step by step) if that might be a bit more helpful to you guys also. I am hoping that once I get a chance to go up, I could meet him in person and see whats going on.
wireless active sync is all the same for windows mobile devices. The only thing that is different is that on wm6 devices importing the ssl certificate is a whole lot easier.
what is your the url for your owa?
the server name should be the same url minus the /owa part
for example if its blahblah.com/owa the server would be blahblah.com
be sure to ask for the certifcate

The url for the e-mail is owa.uchastings.edu.
When I got my first e-mail from the IT department exampling how to obtain access to the e-mail server, I was told that for the first time, my username for the e-mail would be uchastings\username. However, now I just user the username without the uchastings\ part to access my e-mail.
Also, would the server be owa.uchastings.edu? The IT rep told me it would be email.uchastings.edu.
Try This
For username just type the username without the domain.
For the domain try uchastings.local and see if that works.
And make sure that the box for SSL connection is not checked.
you might also try a program called Chronobis to sync Outlook OWA to your device.
Its very basic, but gets the job done

Not sure where you get this idea? POP3 and IMAP would work just fine if it's enabled, and more importantly, is exposed to the internet. It's not as nice as push email and most companies would not bother to expose it to the internet, but that doesn't mean it can't be done. He may not have access to it on his server but there's no technical reason it can't be done. It's just a standard pop3 and imap server using the standard protocols.
I would like to thank everybody for all the help and I was able to fix the problem with some help from a OWA forum.
The problem I was having is that the username should have been the username alone and then the domain name was just uchastings. That was it.
I have one more question I am hoping someone can help me with.
I use Microsoft Outlook 2007 on my laptop also since I can just connect my school mail and Gmail on there.
When I first connected my ATT Tilt to my laptop, it asked me what I wanted to sync and I choose Contacts, Calendar, Tasks, and Notes. Then I setup my Tilt with the school's outlook web access. It also asked what it should sync and I choose Contacts, Mail, Calendar, Tasks, and Notes.
Now on my Outlook 2007, when I choose Contacts, Calender, or Tasks, it gives me two options for each. For example in contacts, it has Contacts and Contacts from Personal Folder. Same for Calendar (Calender and Calendar from Personal Contacts) and Tasks.
Now my question is that are these two connected or is one from my Tilt and the other from Hastings OWA? If I choose to delete one, say from the OWA, will it affect the other? I am asking because all the items in each place (ie Calendar and Calendar from Personal Folder) are the same.
Thanks for the help once again.
i heard push mail is something similar to blackberry, instant email sort of a thing. my company has an exchange server running. how do i configure the push mail on my kaiser?
quickest way to get this sorted would be to speak to your IT department.

Push e-mail need to be enabled on your exchange account as well as on your phone, and the IT department need to set up an OTA server in connection with the Exchange server.
So go see the IT guys
thanks
i'll do that and see how it goes?
aite
everything is setup from the tech side
what needs to be done on my handset to make it go through?

You need to set up the account, and I think it's done in Activesync. Specifying the server (in my case it's ota.xxxxx.com), your exchange username (usually you e-mail account), your regular windows password and optionally the domain.
Then you get to chose which information you want pushed - email, calendar, to-do etc.
have fun

checked everything
some back end ssl certificate issue i guess
nothing more i can do
admin guys will have to fix it
Hi All,
I apologize for posting here for a simple thing. I hv HTC Touch Diamond. I want to configure Outlook for my email, calendar etc with my corporate exchange server. Assuming I dont want to synchronize through activesync on my PC. Because from a PC I want to check mails using OWA. If I am not at my desk I want to receive emails on to my mobile.
I have tried all various ways of configuring it. One search has asked me to enable OMA(Outlook Mobile Access) on my corporate exchange server which is not in my hands.
Using GPRS is there a way I can receive corporate emails on to my HTC Diamond ?
Regards

Correct me if i'm wrong, but you might wanna use this app: Mobipush
http://www.mobipush.com
It's like a push mail server which will forward any mail to your Diamond...it's free of charge...just give it a try...I'm using it and I love it...
Good luck

Thanks Jeroen. I will post any progress I make. Btw isnt it frustrating ? I have WM and outlook in installed , internet is available on mobile and my company uses Exchange Server still I cant receive emails on my mobile.
hmm.. I am sure there will be other people who are interested in or already using by some way.
Thanks again Jeroen.

Although your company uses exchange they need to configure OMA on their servers. Although you say they have OWA that doesnt mean it will work on your mobile. they also need to have a specific version/service pack level on their exchange server.
The fact they use blackberrys suggests they havnt configured the OMA part that you need. If they did then your company will be the only ones who can help you as they will need to supply you with the OMA server address (usually different to your OWA one) and in many cases a certificate to use.
There really is nothing we can do, its all down to your companys IT department.
This is what you have to do:
Go to your Systems Administrator and ask him whether it's possible to receive email on your diamond. Minimal requirements are:
1. Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 with SP2 installed
2. OWA and Mobile access enabled for your user account on your corportate network.
3. The root certificate of your Certificate Authority. This can be a third party certificate like Verisign or one from your own CA within your corporate network.
4. OWA certificate. This is probably the same ssl certificate you use when you try to access your corporate email from the internet like https://webmail.corporate.com
You have to import both the root certificate as well as the webmail certificate on your diamond and configure the settings.
I have configured this many times for my users with both Exchange 2003 and Exchange 2007 and works great.
Good luck and don't hesitate if you need more info.
The others are right in saying that OWA needs to be configured and available. The other snafu is if there is a cert or not... for example, my company does not use a cerrt and had a re-direct... so the real URL is:
http://mail.mycompany.com/exchange
but they publish the URL as
http://mail.mycomany.com
which has a redirect page to the above URL. You need to make sure you have the full URL: http://mail.mycompany.com/exchange when you configure mail and *IF* they have a cert or not... by default I beleive WM6 assumes a cert.
Thanks all for the suggestions. I have asked my company to enable OMA and configure it. But since we are a blackberry shop they said that they cant do it. Mean while I saw BBConnect for Diamond. Can I use this on Diamond to receive emails. Is there anything extra I need to do to work with BBConnect apart from Internet availability on Diamond ?

hi friends,
I want to configure my Xperia with my official Microsoft Exchange server. THe problem i am facing that when i connect my Xperia to the PC and it is synchronized with my outlook it can download all the mails/contact etc...
But i wanted that if i am on move, i can still get the mails directly on the Xperia.
I tried to configure exchange server from Active Synchronization Menu --->configure server , and it give me msg its the same as your look web access server and everything okay, but when from Messaging Menu if i try to send the email or do Send/ Recieve for my outlook, i am not able to recieve/send emails.
Is there anyone else having the same problem, Help will be appreciated.
Thanks
Jade
??? what ???
idont understand your whattt?
either my question is confusing for you ?
Regards
Jade
I don't understand the question either.
When you start the ActiveSync application (on your device) and click Sync, it will either synchronize with Exchange or display an error message if it doesn't work. Assuming it doesn't sync successfully, what's the error message that is displayed?
Well when i configure it from STart--->Active Synchronization and put all the server details over there it configure my settings, and give me msg that the Exchange server is same as that of your outlook.
But when i press the send/recieve button for the outlook email , it keep on showing connecting and later say error Synchronizing.
Um...
You want to ActiveSync your phone with the PC over the Internet?

Ah.. I assume you're entering your email address, username, password and domain, then ActiveSync tries to do the automatic configuration and then displays a text box to enter your server address? If so, the automatic configuration didn't work and you have to enter the server address manually (which is the same as the server address configured on your desktop Outlook (check your Outlook configuration if you're not sure) or the address of Outlook Web Access, maybe something like mail.whatever.com).

Please try to sync using the ActiveSync application. It will display an error message, which will probably help to find the problem.

Microsoft Exchange is pretty cool
Have you checked both Mail for Outlook and WM Active Sync in your configuration? For your needs you may only activate Mail for the Server, not the PC connection. Look also for other conflicts like tasks and so on.
I think i am not able to elaborate my problem clearly. Let me do again
I am having a corporate account and that is configured on my Microsoft Outlook and i receive all my corporate mails over there.
Now as i did on my SE P990i, i have set the same corporate account which use Microsoft Exchange Server on my Mobile, and that i wanted to do on Xperia too. So that i can recieve the emails on my computer and on Xperia.
But i cannot configure it even having the right settings for exchange server. and it keep on showing connecting......... but do nothing.
Thanks
Jade
I made few change in the settings and now getting this msg
Microsoft Exchange:
Result:
The security certificate on the server is not valid. Contract your exchange server administrator to install a valid certificate on the sever.
View support code: 0x80072F0D
=====================
But the same Microsoft Exchange server works fine for me on P990i, and its not possible to contact my head office in USA just to ask them install any certificate for me ):
any other solution.

The most likely cause of this issue is that your company uses a self-signed security certificate instead of a commercial one, which is why your device doesn't trust the certificate. You have to install the certificate to your device to be able to use it:
Open your webmail (Outlook Web Access) site in Internet Explorer, using https (if IE gives you a certificate error too, just accept it)
Click the lock icon (either on the top or at the bottom, depending on your IE version) to view the security certificate
On the "Details" tab, click "Copy to File" and save it (default export settings) to your device or storage card
On your device, install the certificate by launching it through File Explorer.
(You could also disable SSL for the Exchange Server connection, but I don't recommend this at all.)
Also, you will most likely be able to use Push Mail with Exchange, so mails will be delivered to your device right after receiving them, without having to do scheduled or manual Send/Receive .
My friend,
Thanks alot for your reply, i have tried to follow step by step what you said, as also given on this link
http://www.confusedamused.com/notebook/installing-windows-mobile-60-root-certificates/
I was able to generate the certificate and installed it on my Xperia, and can also see it in the certification list, but still getting the same error.

Hmm, did you install the root certificate or just the web server certificate (step 4 on the page you linked)? I'm not sure, it's possible you need the root certificate and not just the server certificate.
Well i followed all the step given on the link i pasted above. I installed the root certficated, but which server certificate you are talking about, though i followed all the step of that link.
Thanks
Still looking for some possible solution.......
You might want to ask your corporate admin for the exchange server.
They may changed the settings.
you need to enable push internet and configure your exchange for push internet. contact your mobile provider for that. and about the certificates you need to install it in your phone.
