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.

my email on my Tilt keeps showing an error syncronizing message i cant send or receive email and i get that message when i hit the send/receive option, i have my email setup though gmial and outlook, any suggestions on fixing this?
Hmmm, sounds like something is wrong in the connections if I had to guess. I'd go back thru the setup (try this for the Gmail setup first), and when you get to the Outgoing Server settings, select the Advanced Server Settings and make sure the network connection is configured correctly - mine is set to connect to The Internet and it works fine. Also, do you always have this problem, or is it only with certain connections (wifi, activesync, GPRS/3G, etc.)?
I had this same problem after flashing my rom. Go into the Settings>Connection tab and make sure it is connecting thru the internet using MediaNet or My Connection. Click the advanced tab>select networks. The modem should be Cellular Line (GPRS, 3G)- Access Point: wap.cinguar, User Name: [email protected], Password: CINGULAR1, Domain Field: blank. Advanced... >TCP/IP: first and last boxes checked (leave servers tab untouched).
Also if you are able to surf through Internet Explorer or MediaNet but cannot send/receive Emails. You should follow the directions from the above post since it's correct. Find the messaging feature. It should have a "Select and Account" screen. Click on Menu>Options- Look for your email service on the list, click on it. Make sure all your login info is correct. OUTGOING (SMTP) mail server for AOL is : cwmx.com, both boxes checked on that screen. Then click Advanced Server Settings. Network Connection: should be set to MEdiaNet or your primary connnection. CLICK DONE!
Let me know if this helps
I can recieve Yahoo email, but I can't send mail from the yahoo account. The phone set up it's own settings. Here they are
Incoming Mail Server
imap.mail.yahoo.com
Account Type
IMAP4
User name
MY EMAIL ACCOUNT
Password
Way longer than it should be (I keep fixing it, but there are about 20 characters showing, when my password is only 11 characters)
Outgoing (SMTP) mail server:
smtp.mobile.mail.yahoo.com
I dont have
"OUtgoing server requires authentication" checked. It was but I tried unchecking it to see if that would help and it didn't.
I do have
"Use the same username and password for sending email" checked
I have it set to send/recieve email every 5 minutes.

I have an ATT Tilt with the new 6.1 software. I haven't done any modifications only because I dont know how to.
Anyone? Now my gmail isn't letting me send mail!
Try this, Delete all your e-mail settings and start from scratch. See if it works
I have done that---lets hope that works.
Hi:
If you still have problems, try this. Do you have "Getting Started" in programs. If you select that, then choose to setup e-mail. All you have to do is enter your e-mail address, and password, and allow it to use automatic setting. I didn't even have to enter any settings, and it worked perfectly for me.
Hope this helps.

Also, did you check the Advanced Settings for your setup? Mine has "Require SSL for Incoming e-mail" and "Require SSL for Outgoing e-mail" unchecked. I am able to send/receive via Yahoo! without problems. Definitely follow everyones advice and start from scratch.
I had the annoying issue of not being able to send, only being able to receive mail.
This was with Gmail.
I tried all the 'solutions' on the Internet and even on Google's own support pages.
Strangely, I could use the POP3 service, but not IMAP.
The way I solved the issue was to delete all the settings on my Kaiser and then go into Gmail 'Forwarding and POP/IMAP' options and Disable IMAP access and click Save Changes.
Then I would go back into the options and reenable IMAP access.
Lo and behold, it worked.
Here is a supposed fix for SMTP issues, use at your own risk, I haven't had any problems so I haven't used the fix myself. http://www.tracyandmatt.co.uk/blogs/index.php/2008/10/15/windows-mobile-smtp-fix
Hi, I have a unlocked Rogers HTC Dream on ATT network, everything works except for the email setup, when after i enter my email and password, it tells me that "Authentication failed. Please verify your username/password" but my email and my password is correct.(PS: i click on mail, then other(POP3/IMAP) then enter email and password then the error appear after i click next.. ) anyone know how to fix this?
I have the same problem. I am on the rogers network and have an unmodded factory default dream.
Try this it worked for me until I switched to the hero rom.
1. From the Home screen, tap the Application tab.
2. Tap Email.
3. Tap Next.
4. Enter the e-mail address and password.
5. Tap Manual Setup.
6. Tap OK when the 'Free Yahoo! Mail accounts only work over T-Mobile wireless networks. Yahoo! Mail Plus users should configure POP settings manually.' message appears.
7. Tap IMAP account.
#
1. From Incoming server settings, set the following:
2. IMAP Server field: imap.mail.yahoo.com
* Port: 143 (by default)
* Security type: TLS (if available)
1.
Scroll down and select Next.
* The device searches for incoming server information.
#
1. From Outgoing server settings, set the following:
2. SMTP Server field: smtp.mobile.mail.yahoo.com
* Port: 25
* Security type: TLS (if available)
1.
Scroll down and select Next.
* The device searches for outgoing server information.
2. Note that account options display and allow you to select how often to check for e-mail, set notifications, and check default setting account.
3. Enter the account a name.
4. Tap Done.
Stupid question but I don't use yahoo, is that the only email service it is for? Will it work for hotmail if I just swich the yahoo bits with hotmail?
Haven't tried it yet with hotmail. I would assume you can replace yahoo with hotmail and try it that way. Let me know if it works.

Select exchange account as type of new account, use your gmail address for user name and regular gmail password. Server is m.google.com, domain is ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM. That’s it.
In Gmail, turn off notifications else you get double notifications.
