Hi I'm trying to synchronize my touch diamond, but then the phone asks for a username, password etc. It's my first windows mobile phone and I don't know what to do now. Sorry for my bad english.

You will need this information from whoever looks after your Exchange server, someone at your work place I would guess. If you use Outlook for Web Access then you already should have all the information you need.

Hi people,
Just a tought, i saw it was possible to use a gmail accout as a ftp
server on a PC. My question is, is this also possible to do this from
out pocket pc?? and if so how and with what kind of software??
kind regards
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.

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.

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/

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 !!

Sorry for my trivial question but i'm new to this interesting world.
I use a HTC P4350 upgraded to HTC HTC_P4350_ITA_4.17.408.2_4.1.13.44_02.94.90_Ship ROM downloaded from htc club site.
I use email either with exchange company server (direct-push) and imap personal provider and i don't see html email support: my email don't have images and links are visible.
Do you know limits on my rom or i'm wrong on some configuration ?
Another question: must i change rom to achieve complete WM6 functions? Witch rom you suggest me ?
Thanks (i've read a lot of post but my knowledge is poor)
It seems to be a bug with the phone ... between IMAP and HTML because it's been reported on Gmail's forums with the same problem... so I went back to using pop email with my gmail accounts.

The problem as far as I know lies within the exchange server.
WM6 Outlook only displays pictures if you set the Pocket Outlook to receive HTML mail
and I think the Exchange server has to be version 2007 and nothing earlier.
BTW I do receive HTML mails with pictures.
Thanks to all.
I thinks the problem is my corporate exchange server: viewing a html message i found "HTML Format" viewing opting disalbled on WM6 (see attachment).
I'll try with POP.
Hello to all!
I´m from Croatia, so sorry for my English, i have problem with HTC and BB software, BB client is 4.0.0.97, and almost everything is working fine, only "I can not send attachments bigger then 32kb!!!"
What to do?
TNX in advance!
No chance to send more than 32kb..
It's a limitation in the BB client.

I know this is a bit off topic, but rather than start a new thread....
For some reason now I cannot open any attachments on my blackberry account - It shows there is an attachment, but when I open the mail, there is only like a link showing some of the file name, and if I click on it, it just asks me if I'd like to add that person to my contact list, as though its a name, not an attachment.
My office IT guys tell me there is nothing unusual set on the server, and even after doing a restore on my device with SPB backup back to when it was working, it still doesnt work.
Really frustrating, so any ideas would be GREATLY appreciated!
Not that I had any responses, but as an FYI I got it sorted by deleting all my folders containing attachments. Although there was plenty of storage space free, I'm assuming it has to do with the number of files stored as I have about 7 or so small xls docs come in daily.
Just incase anyone else had the same issue....
I think you have an Enterprise BB account.
Did this happend after you restore a SPB backup ?
In most cases this will not work with BB, cause meanwhile the security keys could change.
Everytime you restore a backup, first you have to remove the BB Client, reboot, delete all BB related files and install BB Connect again. After this you need a new activation password from your administration.
There is a new BB Connect client, version 103. Ty 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
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

Jeroen

No Luck. It errors out saying it cannot get IMAP server details.

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 ?
