hi.
i have the exchange email(4smartphone) all set up and working fine.
the only thing is if my computer restarts during the day(i have outlook on the start up list on the desktop) it asks for the exchange password. since no one is home during the day to input the password, i cant receive any exchange emails to my wing.
is there any fix to that?
Really, there's no connection between your desktop email and the Exchange Server Push Email on the PPC. If your Wing's Exchange server settings are done right, you should definitely receive email whether or not your desktop is on or connected to the Exchange server.
Have you setup your Microsoft Exchange server settings right in ActiveSync on the Wing?
yes

yes i did set it up on the wing.
Yeah it shouldn't matter at all. I use 4smartphone as well and have my account set to sync on two computers, a desktop and laptop and my P4350. Some times a couple days elapse before I will even use my desktop or laptop.

Something is screwy then because your phone and desktop have no connection. Exchange service works by having a central server that holds all the information; when your phone syncs or your desktop syncs it speaks with the Exchange server and nothing else.
Does the email address you use for your wing differ from the on on your computer? If this is the case it might be possible that you have Outlook syncing with the Exchange server but then automatically forwarding emails to your Wings email address. This isn't how it's supposed to work though.
hi guys,
I would like to use my kaiser with outlook web access which my company has. Does anyone know of a good interface software which can provide me with this feature?
If you have OWA that means you have Exchange server, so why not just set up Exchange ActiveSync?
try http(s)://exchangeserver/oma/ in IE
As a poster above said, it's much nicer just to use ActiveSync and get it to sync automatically with Exchange - if you have OWA configured on your network, 9 times out of 10 it will work right off the bat - just open up Activesync on your device and select Menu -> Configure Server... and follow the prompts. It's pretty good and is much quicker than running OWA in your Pocket Internet Explorer...
Edit: I forgot to mention that your Exchange administrator will have to configure this on their Exchange server - if they have Exchange SP2, it's quite easy and requires no more config on the firewall than has already been done for OWA. Don't know what kind of organistation you work in, but it's worth a question to your IT department.
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.
ok i'm sorry, but i have been all over the place and still cant make this work!
my work IT dept only allows remote email via the web. i can access using opera no problem but i'd like to sync/push/downloadupload/whateveritscalled into my outlook on the phone seamlessly. HOW DO I DO IT?!?!? i have tried and TRIED to set this up to no avail thru "new account" in the messaging and thru activesync. it cant be that hard since there are only 2 simple steps when i access it via opera.
#1) i go to the website:
www.sodexhomail.com (but when it loads, the full address is https://www.sodexhomail.com/owa/&reason=0)
#2) and i login with only 2 pieces of info:
domain\username: xx-xxxxxxx\myname
password: xxxxxxxx
please please PLEASE someone tell me how to set this up STEP BY STEP so i dont have to keep going thru opera!
thanks!
Ok this is not so hard. I configured it myself many times.
First you have to ask your IT Department whether they allow mail on your device. What if you lose your device, other people might have access to sensitive emails.
For pushmail to work you need an Active Directory user account and this account has to be mailbox-enabled. From the information you just supplied, you do have an AD account which is mailbox-enabled.
When you go to http://www.sodexhomail.com/owa you will see that you will be redirected to https://www.sodexhomail.com/owa Do you see the extra S behind HTTP ? THis means that you access your website securely. In your internet browser on your normal desktop or laptop computer you will see a little golden lock at the end of the address bar. When you click it, you have the option to see the security certificate and to export it to a file. Export this certificate to a file (just click next all the time and give it a descriptive name) and save it on your computer. Then connect your Diamond to your computer and transfer this certificate to your diamond. On your Diamond browse to this certificate and click it so it will be installed. For ActiveSync and Pushmail to work you must do this.
Ask your IT Departmend whether they have enabled your user account for active sync and pushmail. If not, you can't use pushmail. If they did, continue with the following steps on your diamond.
Ok, you've already installed the ssl security certificate on your diamond. Now open Active sync on your diamond and do the following.
1. Click MENU.
2. Click Configure Server
3. In the field Server address type: www.sodexhomail.com and enable SSL
4. click next
5. In the User name filed type your user name and password
6. In the domainfield, type sodexhomail.com and enable to remember your password.
7. Click next
8. Enable the items you want to sync, like contacts, calender, email and tasks
9. Select email and click configuration and select the option how far back active sync should go for syncing emails and select for the messages HTML.
10. Click advanced and enter your email address.
11. CLick Finish.
12. In the main Active Sync menu, click menu again and choose Schema
13. Select As items arrive and configure the times you want to receive pushmail. I entered 00:00 - 23:59 so 24h a day.
Now you should be done.
Good luck.
EDIT: If your company uses Microsoft Exchange 2007, maybe your administrators configured Outlook Anywhere. This means that you only have to install the ssl certificate and dont have to configure the above steps. On your diamond you simply go to Start - Messages and create a new account. Fill in your company mail adddress and password and on the next screen you will be asked if you want to configure your mail settings from the internet automatically. I configured this myself and works like a charm. But if your IT admins did not configure Outlook Anywhere, this won't work.
You an only do it if your company enables OMA (outlook mobile access).
OWA for access via a browser and OMA for push access via activesync are totally different.

MRE-net, you are awesome! thanks so much for the help, but i have good news and bad news.
i followed your instructs to the letter, but it does not work. whereas before i was getting a "check your settings/password" error or the like, i am now getting "Your account in Microsoft Exchange Server does not have permission to synchronize with your current settings. Contact your Exchange Server admin. support code: 0x85010004". before i even tried to sync, 2 things you said (as well as knowing how tight my company is with info) told me that it wouldnt work in the end:

so...good news, i'm acutally smart enough to follow instructions, thank you so much! and bad news is that the sync error tells me that my company doesnt support/allow it (right?), and i'm guessing theres no way around this without IT admin involvement.
thanks again.

You have to get them to enable active sync for your mailbox.
In the meantime solution
Had a similar problem so i requested IT to send duplicate emails to my live/hotmail account which they had no problem with. From hotmail its easy to sync to WM. You can also tell hotmail that when it sends emails it can do it on bahalf of [email protected].
[Then you can set a rule on hotmail to forward some emails back to your main work account - have not donr that though]
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

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.
