I have recently set up push email using Microsoft SBS 2003. SSL certificate purchased and installed on the exchange server.
I have set up the server on active sync and the XDA syncs tells me it is collecting the emails and contacts etc but when I go in to messaging there are no messages!
Can anyone help? I need to set this up so that I can get my emails...
Please let me know if you know how
My employer hosts a webmail enabled Microsoft Exchange mail server. I am able/allowed to conntect to this server using https://webmail.myemployer.com from all web browsers and from all locations I have ever tried (I travel a lot), except ofcourse from my X1. Neither Pocket Internet Explorer nor Opera works; same result (Error Code 500: Internal Server Error).
I have retrieved the certificate from the mailserver, copied it to the X1, installed it and restarted the phone. Same result (doesn't work, same error code).
Is the access to webmail enabled Microsoft Exchange servers restricted on the X1? Can Exchange block access from cellphones? Is anyone reading this able to access Exchange webmail via SSL?
My ultimate goal is ofcourse to get the mail/calendar/tasks/contacts setup via ActiveSync but realize that I probably need to get this part with the webmail to work first. Colleagues of mine have successfully set it up on their iPhones, but ever since my first encounter with McIntosh back in 1984 ("an error of type -1 has occurred - Abort - Retry") I just can't stand that crap. I have no idea, but I doubt iPhones use ActiveSync.
if you know your Exchange webmail address, a WM phone can automatically configure Exchange. Open ActiveSync and on the right softkey menu, click "Configure Server" and type in your webmail address, username, pw etc and it'll automatically set up your server for push sync. If it works on an iPhone it is definitely enabled.
Close, but no cigar. The ActiveSync setup doesn't work and returns 0x85010004 "Your account in Microsoft Exchange Server does not have permission to synchronize with your current settings. Contact your Exchange Server administrator." I have verified the right settings at least five times. It doesn't work.
Activesync needs to be configured separately on the exchange server to work wirelessly.
Have you tried to put /owa/ at the end of the URL in your browser?
Yes. No luck. When I enter the URL above in the address field of a browser and press enter it eventually (in the successful case) changes into something like https://webmail.myemployer.com/exchweb/... but this is not the case when trying to access same URL from the X1 (then it simply stops with the 500 error code).
Is anyone reading this able to access MS Exchange webmail over SSL with the X1?
This is strange. Have you tried your account on an iPhone? There might be a problem that is isolated to your account only.
Edit: If you are using Exchange 2003 this might be a server problem. Refer to:

Yes, I Have
I access my company email account via MS exchange webmail on my X1. We dont use a 3rd party website, just type in the IP address of our server followed by "/exchange", dialogue box pops up for username and password and im in. Nothing had to be set up on the phone but, IE does not work ...has to be Opera and Im currently using the version that came with the phone.
I also had the same issue of Outlook Mobile Access disabled at Exchange, but Outlook Web Access enabled. Try Seven"Out Of Office" OWA connector or eMoze, both of them worked for me. Seven enabled GAL/Directory lookup as well...
Thanks. I tried adding /exchange without luck but was able to atleast get to the login page with the following URL (which I copied from my laptop after successful login): https://webmail.myemployer.com/CookieAuth.dll?GetLogon?curl=Z2F&reason=0&formdir=2. I can enter my user name and password and even click on "Login" before I get the 500 Internal Server Error message.
Strange...
I've also looked at Seven and emoze. Didn't even know they existed. Thanks for the tip! Seven seems operator dependant and as my operator charges €10 per month for it, it kinda fell out of the picture. Emoze can successfully fetch my e-mail through the OWA (webmail.myemployer.com + usr + pwd) and it works like a charm.
Almost...
Emoze has some pretty severe issues with its calendar synchronization in that it handles repeat calendar entries incorrectly. Emoze will keep adding duplicates of these in an eternal loop (about one duplicate per minute). I had to use a tool called Allcleanup to wipe all calendar entries. So a warning there. Also, emoze will add some corny "this mail sent by emoze" on all outgoing e-mails and this seems to be unavoidable, even in the pro version. Plus emoze handles character sets incorrectly (Scandinavian/German characters like ÅåÄäÖö are not translated correct). But if you "just" want to be up to date with your inbox, emoze works fine I guess. I now use GoogleSync and ActiveSync with Gmail and Calendar, emoze for work mail and contacts.
I have 2 major e-mail servers that i have to be able to connect to, one is a hosted exchange instance and the other is a Lotus Notes server.
I have a subscription to Commontime's Msuite software which in Windows Mobile, creates a new mailbox separate from my exchange server and allows both to peacefully co-exist.
However, in android, they rely on the ONE exchange account on the phone and this would block my access to my exchange server.
Are there any stand-alone mail apps that would allow me to connect to the second account and for all intents, allow my phone to access 2 exchange accounts?
Thanks in advance!
Did you find a client?
Just wondering if you found a client that supports multiple exchange servers/mailboxes
Yeah, I did. Stock 2.1 doesn't work, but found it worked great with Froyo (2.2) - cognition.
My captivate can connect to exchange server, and can syn email and calendar fine. It can also sync contact from exchange server. However, if I add a new contact on my phone, it cannot be synced to exchange server. Anyone has a solution for this?
Thank you.
under contacts hit menu/settings is it set to save to exchange server? I know if mine is set to save to phone. It never syncs with google. I must save it tp google account.

I guess at some point virginmedia resigned their email certs.
From that point onwards I have been unable to send emails.
I have tried deleting the account, manually installing the new cert, unticking SSL, using alternative smtp servers. rebooting, adding :465, adding :462:1.
None of the above works on my Lumia 920.
The only way that I can send an email is via my Hotmail account but TBH I don't know hat the address of the Hotmail account is (actually Outlook shows me that the address is [email protected])
Has any one managed to get past this issue? I guess if I could navigate to the cert and delete it all would be fine.
