configuring Outlook for OWA - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

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
ravi

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

Ahh..I see....well than for now I cant offer you a solution.... sorry...
Keep us posted about your progress allright?
Thanks mate!
Jeroen
b.t.w. if you gonna use the app, type in your server details manually...than (for me) it should work

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 ?

WM6 HTML Email Question

First of thanks to all you guys for such an amazing forum, I really have learned a great deal from reading the posts.
That said, I'm running WM6 PV3 version on my MDA with push mail enabled from an exchange server (mail2web). I receive mail no problem but am unable to view HTML mail, I thought that was a feature of of WM6? I have a "Get HTML" under Menu/View, but it's grayed out - what gives? Anyone have any ideas or suggestions? Thanks all!
The Exchange server needs to be running Exchange 2007 for HTML on WM6.

Thank you, I was just getting ready to SEARCH all over creation. But your answer saved me a lot of time...
mail2web Exchange Servers
When will you upgrade to Microsoft Exchange 2007?
Answer: mail2web.com is planning to upgrade all customers from our current Exchange 2003 platform to the new Microsoft Exchange 2007 platform, after its release. All customers Business Exchange Professional customers will receive a free upgrade to Outlook 2007. Microsoft Exchange 2007 is expected to be released in early 2007. The timing of this upgrade is still to be determined and is in part dependant on the release date of Exchange 2007.

that's what I got from the support:
First mail:
According to that site and others that have tested WM6 on 4SmartPhone, if you are using a legitimate version of WM6 you get HTML email for ActiveSync. That feature does not require Exchange 2007.

After telling them that this doesn't make sense I got a second mail:
We do not offer Exchange 2007 to our customers yet, and we know that some features of WM6 (like server-side mailbox search) do require Exchange 2007 to work.
However, HTML email does work on WM6 devices when used in conjunction with Exchange 2003 SP2, and that is what the people who reported did, using a normal 4SmartPhone account.

4smartphone
I just tried the 4smartphone Pro service to see if it would work for me on WM6I would love to be able to get my HTML mail but I believe this really is a feature we will need to wait for Exchange 2007 to provide. Does anyone know a way to get HTML mail to work? I am using emoze right now and love the push mail,Calendar, tasks that it pushes through. I dont like leaving my computer on but its on most of the time anyway. If anyone has a better inexpensive solution I would love to hear it. Thanks to all in this forum I am just a big nooooob here and love all this stuff.

I ordered an account from this outfit today
http://www.itsolutionsnow.com
I will let you know how it works out.
I have been using mailstreet but I don't want to wait around for them to upgrade.
http://www.itsolutionsnow.com offers unlimited storage and wireless active sync for only $10 a month USD
Mailstreet is $13 a month for 100meg $4 a month for wireless active sync and $6 a month for an extra 100 meg
I got my new setup instructions very quickly from them and this guy billy was very helpful in setting up some special features for me.
It works great. I love the new outlook web access also. Setup was a snap. From my experience so far I would recomend this company.
Computer9Cowboy are you getting HTML mail through the service? I tried 1and1 and 4smartphone and could not get the HTML part to work on WM6. Please let me know if this works. Thanks,

If you can live without push mail, POP3 already supports html email. It doesnt matter what server you use. I host my own email on a FreeBSD box here at home. I just have WM6 set to check mail every 15 minutes. I personally dont feel the need to know about email the split second it arrives, so POP3 works for me.

Yes indeed ITSolutionsNow has Exchange 2007, I can do HTML Email, I can set flags on messages and I can do server side search from the device. Plus I merged my archive back in to my account because they support unlimited storage. I don't have to worry about staying under my limit or purchasing extra space.

Exchange is more than push email it is contacts and calendar also. If I add new info to a contact in outlook it is on my device in seconds. When I add a new date in my calendar on my device it is on my computer in seconds. The new ability to flag messages from the device is pretty useful also.
On a sidenote I've just heard back from mail2web that they are currently testing Exchange 2007 and that they should be going live with it in the summer.

I understand that. I guess it just all depends on how you are using your device. Those features are a lot more useful for a business environment. I use mine for personal use. As infrequently as I update my calendar and contacts, cable syncing is fine for that, and pop3 is adequate email for my uses.
I do understand the advantages of push mail and contacts/calendar syncing. I have a blackberry 7520 that I use for work, and as the exchange and BES server admin, I could easily setup push mail on my XDA, the only problem is I need use of the direct connect radio in the 7520, so for now I keep the 7520 for work use, and the XDA for personal use.

I have to say that IT Solutions Now is the best deal that I have seen for hosted exchange anywhere, Unlimited storage is huge.

And this is why I'm leaving 4smartphone in 2 weeks when my yearly subscription is expired. I told them that I would like to have HTML email and they told me that they are not deploying 2007 for another 6 months. I'm a reseller for intermedia.net so I'm going to switch over to them.

Microsoft Exchange Server and Windows Mobile 6

Hi!
I am quite new to all this! I am searching and reading about Windows Mobile 6 Professional.
I would want to setup an account, in Mobile Outlook, that connects to the Microsoft Exchange Server.
If I use my PC or VAIO, I can acccess my account through a web based address but cannot successfully send Japanese langauge emails to Japanese mobile devices. Japanese PC/notebooks are OK.
But I can send and receive perfectly when using Outlook 2007 on my PC or VAIO...
This aspect is the most imprortant issue for me. Is it possible and easy ! To setup such an account in Mobile Outlook ?
I am also aware that using Vodafone to do this could also be very expensive and data charges would mount up.
Any advice appreciated.
Ofiaich
The issue is not your device. You have to make sure that the Exchange Server is setup for mobile access.
http://exchangeserver/oma or https://exchangeserver/oma
where exchangeserver is the name of your exchange server
See if you can access either of the above, that's the first step. If your server requires SSL certificate then you have to install that to your device (I keep a copy of the certificate on my SD card so when I hard reset or get a new device that's the first thing I install).
It requires a pretty close relationship with the Exchange Server IT guys (in my case I have my own exchange server). One option is to use a hosted exchange service.
Let me know if you need more specifics
thanks very much jcrompton!
I had a bit of a hard time setting up Outlook 2007 to connect to the Exchange Server because the university, where the server is ??, only had info for Outlook 2002, 2003. Some differences.
If I buy the TyTn II it will be my first experience with a Windows Mobile device. I will also want to put Japanese input etc on it !
Currently, I use a SE W950i with Japanese support but only accessing Vodafone email. Not good.....
I will also talk to the Exchange Server IT guys!
Any further advice would be appreciated because, some of the senior IT guys at the university often say that will only support what they feel is necessary. One even said, don't need to check emails using a mobile device ! Strange guy.....
Ofiaich
Yes it can really be a bit difficult if the IT guys are not willing participants. I had some difficulties even owning my own server.
I have a Microsoft MVP (Bob Lin) who helps me remotely with issues on the Exchange Server - he charges $95 per hour.
I would tell the IT guys that they may have an opportunity to learn somethings if they will be willing to work with you.
First make sure you can access /oma via the web and see if they require SSL to connect - that will tell you if they have OutlookMobileAccess already configured or not and whether you will need a certificate installed on your mobile device.
jcrompton!
thanks very much for your quick reply!
This morning, I got the usual comment from the university IT staff, we are not an internet providor, we do not support Palm, Windows Mobile.. etc...
I will push this further but I still cannot get them to support Japanese 'perfectly' on the university server !
but I have remembered I can set an rule in my account to forward email on to another account. So I could just use my Vodafone account!
Thanks for your time and help! I will battle on with this!
Ofiaich
If you decide to do the forwarding thing I think there is a guy out there who is allowing access to his exchange server as a free service - of course he takes donations. You could then just forward your email to that Exchange Server and then take advantage of the instant email abilities of your device.
The other option is a hosted Exchange Service but that's not free.
port88.org

Try http://live.mail2web.com, it is a free hosted exchange service.
Thanks very much jcrompton and palmop !
My problem with a web based service is that Japanese is not supported well. I just registered at http://live.mail2web.com and sent some tests but some, but not all of the returned tests did not display Japanese, just a row of ????????
My way of accessing email at the moment, is to use my University Exchange server, but that does not send mail in Japanese to Japanese mobile phones and other mobile devices, but it does send correctly to PC's , for example Hotmail read on a PC.
My 100% successful way. is to use a small VAIO notebook VGN-TX51B and Outlook 2007. Occasionally I use a W950i as a modem, but often use WiFi or a LAN line.
Mail, in Japanese, to and from mobile devices, PC's and Mac's all are OK, but it is not always convenient to carry my VAIO around even though it is small
What I hoped to do with the TyTn-II was to setup an exchange account in Mobile Outlook, in the same way, as I did on my Desktop PC and VAIO.
But the university support staff are not forthcoming....
I do not have any experience of Windows Mobile 6 Professional! Time to search and read more !
Oh! I also know I would need to install a Japanese font and have read Asukal's information here, and at http://forum.brighthand.com/showthread.php?t=171045&page=2 and also at http://www.ookii.org/software/japaneseinput/
Ofiaich
In general syncing with exchange is a breeze... if the server has been setup to work with mobile devices (you do not need to enter in the owa or oma extension listed above). If exchange has been setup to support mobile devices (which is likely the case) you don't even need your IT department
under comm manager click activesync, then menu, then configure server, enter in the exchange server address (not http you can find this from your outlook), put in username, pw and domain, check want you want to sync, schedule, and that is it your done. The only issue may run into is a secure certificate issue (very uncommon) if so just post and a solution will be provided.
aaronsmckee!
thanks very much for your help!
I have a new question,,,, does adding an exchange server account mean a continuous connection to the exchange server, and thus the potential of huge data charges ?
I actually haven't got a TyTn-II yet because I wanted to research about this and also Japanese support before buying one !
But I can understand what you are saying. I have setup Palms, Japanese OS VAIO and all sorts !
Just Windows Mobile is new to me!
I will check out the security certificate issue and post if there is a problem !
Now I will read about installing Japanese input etc!
Thanks very much !

I agree with the advice that you have gotten. You don't need to use owa oma extensions like I mentioned when setting up the Mobile Outlook but if you can succesfully navigate to them on the handheld browser (or any other browser for that matter that is an indication that Outlook Mobile Access has been setup on the Exchange Server). What I do KNOW is that if the IT department has not specifically set out to set up thier server to work with mobile active sync it will NOT work. It took quite a bit of work to get my server working with active sync! I agree the certificate is a whole differnt issue but I suspect that a University does have SSL connection to their server enabled which will require a certificate on your device!
You have the ability to set the Mobile device to connect to the server at intervals, manually , or "as items arrive" - the latter maintains a connection to the server so you have emails arrive on your device immediately.
I hope we are helping you.
Hi jcrompton!
Yes, everyone is very helpful here !!
What I need to do now, is to decide if the TyTn II is for me, because it might mean my VAIO does not get used. I use a W950i but the email via Vodafone often crashed as I input Japanese.
Next, I need to be clear about reading and inputting Japanese on the TyTn II
And then find the bEst place to buy it in the UK!
But yes, everyone is very helpful here !!

mulitple microsoft exchange accounts?

In my opinion this is not possible since you only have one activesync client.
Would be nice though....
ok heres is the situation, i have 2 exchange accounts, and i can access one via IMAP but then i dont have same sync up as an exchange
can one of the gods write a program for this
Gods any ideas - im sure nothing is out of your capabilities
http://www.tech-archive.net/Archive...lic.pocketpc.activesync/2006-09/msg00251.html
just found the above link, havent tried it yet
made the registry change but cant see any ability to add any further excange accounts!
someone - anyone - GODS do you have an answer to this?
I have tried and tested this solution however havent had the required results!!! I have an exchange server (my own) and my laptop (work) and I am trying to synch so that I have all my calendar appointments on my phone and my own exchange server! When I synch with my work laptop I get all my own calendar onto the laptop but not on the phone!!! any ideas on how to work around this issue????
Basically I want to synch 2 calendars!! Surely there must be an easier way!!!
As far i know its not possible. it works like outlook. Outlook support (until now) only 1 Exchange account (if u use RPC-HTTP you can switch profiles). And on a PDA there is only one client available. And other technical issue is security, like blackberry, there is a remote wipe function (wipe your PDA if your PDA get stolen). And this not possible if you have 2 exchange accounts (in case of 2 different domains example 2 different companies). Policies on the PDA will be forced by the exchange to make this possible.
So to give you a conclusion, until now its not possible. However if somebody find a hack, it could be possible. But microsoft doesnt support it (yet)

cheers sand bunny thought I maybe attempting the impossible!!
Bearing in mind I have two exchange calendars - is there a workaround that may enable me to get my work calendar in my kaiser? Is there an app that allows you to send the calendar file to my phone in a single file format and then enable me to load into the kaiser calendar? Alternatively is there a calendar sharing facility or publish claendars that may enable me to use both calendars in my kaiser??
anybody got any experience of using the following app:-

Do you use GPRS or UMTS 2 sync your PDA? Or do you use the computer?
I use UMTS2 - I tried that On Schedule software and it doenst appear to do what I need it to! I have tried the registry change and then synched with the desktop pc as well as the exchange server and that doesnt work!!!
Even sent a .ics of my work calendar for the next week and that didnt work!
Surely it shouldnt be this difficult!!!
i do this. here is what i do.....
I have an exchange server that i use active sync with. this server is at company 1.
i have XpressMail running at company 2 that connects to an exchange server.
I have 2 calendars and 2 email accounts that are always in sync. I also have 2 address books. pretty neat.
at company 2, my desktop PC is always on.
Id runner that is exactly what I want to achieve - how do you do that? is it something that XpressMail has built in as I cant get anything to achieve this with Outlook 2007, exchange 2007 and active sync!
XpressMail is a free feature on all AT&T / Cingular smartphones.
if you do not have AT&T then you cannot use it.
http://www.wireless.att.com/businesscenter/solutions/email-messaging/xpress-mail-personal-howto.jsp
I also use Facade. since Facade has an xpressmail plugin, i get both calanders and inboxes on my home screen.
rules me out then! back to the drawing board!
has anyone used pocket mirror? http://www.chapura.com/downloads_trials.php
Perhaps this warning is unnecessary for most users here but be careful where you install XpressMail because your employer might have a policy against it.

I have it.
One exchange server is my company serveur (used by activesync on my laptop)
The second one (maybe it's the trick) is one OTA (mail2web.com)
Working like a charme.
I am synchronizing with my laptop which has Outlook account on a server, my home (stand alone outlook) and mail2web.
rom I have two exchnage servers one mail2web personal and one work exchabge server! I want to synch over the air for my personal exchange account however would be happy to synch via laptop for the work exchange! this is where the problem starts! does your solution resolve that? I only really want the calendar to synch but just cannot find a solution which intergrates with two calendars!
jdsx I would be happy to synch over the pc for my work calendar as I could do this at the end of the day! do you think chapura will cater for this?

Need help - Outlook setup

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).

Xperia and Microsoft Exchange Server

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

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.
