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:-

seems to state it can do what I am after - have installed it and trying to get the thing to work though it appears pretty complex!!!

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?

Problems with synching exchange mail - Kaiser and Wizard...

I have received a HTC TYTN II from my company, which currently is synching with our mailserver so that I can read my email wherever I am.
Since I'm curious, I tried to get my old Wizard to do the same. I did the same install as with the Kaiser, but I get the dreaded "0x85010004". I scanned thru the Kaisers registry and took all root-certificates under "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\Security\SystemCertificates" and imported them into the Wizard and rebooted, but no luck. I am assuming it's a certificate of some kind that is missing, but I can't find where else it could be? Does Exchange install a hidden certificate on the phone in order to identify it, and if so - why isn't it shown in the certificates menu?
Any help is appreciated.

activesync cert with exchange
hi fredrik,
activesync accessing exchange on a mobile device uses OWA (outlook web access) to access your email through SSL. the best way to get the cert you need is to log into your OWA (probably something like https://webmail.yourcompanyname.com) or whatever it is (it's the same address you use when you put in when confiigure exchange with activesync) from a desktop pc. than, right click on a blank portion of the page and go to properties. you should see a button that says certificates, click on that, than click on the details tab. than click on the "copy to file" button and the cert export wizard will start. click next, than select base64 as the type of cert, than hit next, name it, save it, put it on a memory card or bluetooth the file to your phone and install it. sometimes, during the install, your phone will error out when installing it, just soft reset, and then install it again. you should get a message that says it was installed successfully. than configure for activesync for exchange on your phone and you should be all good. let me know if that works for you.

Thanks for the help!
Tried that and got the same problem. The original phone has Pointsec installed in it, but I do not think that it gerenates any certificates (at least not any I have found in the registry). Is the ACU version important?
/F

Talked to my IT department and they told me that Pointsec decodes a certificate in order to communicate with our mailservers. Anyone any good at pointsec and knows if it puts a crypto on the Registry or if it is purly file based? If the file is decrypted each time I punch in my code, it should register the time when the file is being decrypted... What programs can search files in WM and search for the time stamp?

I have an AT&T Tilt. I had Direct Push from Exchange Server working perfectly with no effort - was working for months. Then, I had a hardware problem with that phone and was given a replacement from AT&T. After replacing it I am unable to configure the direct push any more. I wrote down all the settings and carefully reapplied them on the new phone.
What I am seeing now is when manually invoking a send/receive, ActiveSync reports the following:
------
Result:
The server you are synchronizing with is not an Exchange Server, or is running incompatible
software. Choose Configure Server on the ActiveSync menu to specify the correct server.
Support Code: 0x85030022
------
I've been on the line with the hosted exchange server folks and there's no change on their end...
I installed the certificate as suggested above - seemed like it was worth a shot. No difference.
Any ideas?

sorry for the late reply.
I'm not too sure about your pointsec fredrick, as we don't use it on our mobile devices at work, but we do use it on our computers. as far as i know, pointsec is supposedly suppose to be transparent encrypt/decrypt after you first turn on your device and enter a passcode, heck, windows mobile should operate like pointsec isn't even on the device, so it shouldn't be a cert issue, but who knows, i never liked pointsec anyway. sorry i can't be more helpful.
ubetchya,
that error message is pretty straight forward, either the OWA address is wrong or your certificate isn't installed correctly. i know this sounds lame, but if you can, borrow a friend's Windows Mobile phone and config it with activesync to verify your settings are correct. for the owa address, try adding "/exchange" without the quotes at the end, maybe their redirect isn't working correctly. so if your server address is "https://webmail.hostedexchange.com", make it look like "https://webmail.hostedexchange.com/exchange" (that should take you to directly to the exchange server without using their redirect). if you want, you can also try downloading the certificate directly from your hosted exchange guys, if they have the cert page up that is (most exchange admins leave it up, i know we do =P ) to get to the cert page, go to a desktop pc...
1. type in your webmail server address and add "/certsrv" at the end without the quotes (ie; "https://webmail.hostedguys.com/certsrv"
2. it will prompt you for a username, it should be in the following format "domain\username", so if my domain was microsoft, and my username was bill, than my username would be "microsoft\bill" without the quotes
3. enter your password.
4. click on the last link, "download a certificate, certificate chain, etc"
5. select the base 64 encoding method and than click download CA certificate.
6. save it to a memory card or bluetooth it over to your phone and install it.
hope that helps!

oh... and one more thing about your server address, it could be different than adding "/exchange" at the end, to verify, just to your webmail and see wear it redirects, when you get to your login page (if using forms based authentication), use that address, if not using forms based, (small popup window for login) just log in and than use that address.

I got it working. The error message was pretty close to telling me that it's an invalid server "name". My hosted exchange provider uses owa3.... I was missing the all-important 3.
No matter how hard they try, programmers can't make it completely idiot proof...
All is working now beautifully. Thanks much for the suggestsions.

Tytn II
Hi there,
I'm trying to connnect my Tytn II to my work's exchange server so I can use it instead of having to use a Crackberry however I'm getting the following message in ActiveSync:
Support code # 0x85030022
The server you are synchronizing with is not an exchange sever, or is running incompatible software. Choose Configure Server on the ActiveSync menu to specify the correct server.
Can anyone help ?

Hi Smooth,
Have you tried all the steps in this thread already? make sure you have installed the correct certificate, have the correct server address and ask your administrator if activesync is enabled on the exchange server. post back with your results to the tricks in this thread and we'll see what else you can try.

exchange/OWA work mail setup

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.

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]

Froyo - Exchange 2010

Morning,
I've looked high and low to find a resolution to this on the stock rom.
If someone is able to provide a work around without mentioning 3rd party apps like touchdown I would be very grateful. At work we run Exchange 2010 and there are a number of users with android based phones who are now left high and dry. Some are desires, some are nexus ones however I believe I am the only one running 2.2
I am open to putting a rom etc however would need concrete evidence that this is a genuine option and not a 'might work' scenario.
The IT team are also open to suggestions that would allow android phones to sync up without sacrificing corporate security.

How about using ActiveSync (the push mail)? I'm using Exchange 2007 with AS and this works fine, and I see no reason why it should not work with the 2010 version.
To setup go to Settings > Accounts & sync > Add account > Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync > Enter email address & password > Correct userID (DOMAIN\username) if necessary & modify AS url (is on the next screen) (also tick the use any certificate option) > done!
This has always worked fine for me on my N1 (even on Eclair). Keep in mind though that users will need 3G and/or WiFi on your network.
When using WiFi on your corporate network, make sure that the url you entered for the AS server has an appropriate A-record in your DNS-server pointing to the correct internal IP address.
For 3G, make sure you AS server is available on the public internet .
In my situation I'm using 1 URL as2007.mycompany.com which points to different IPs depending on what network I'm on (e.g. on the corporate wifi, it points to a 10.x.x.x address, but on my WiFi at home it points to the public IP on the internet)

hi grunthy,
I have definitely tried the activesync route and played with server ip's, webmail url, domain, username aliases etc and the errors are always 'unable to open connection to server' or failed to authenticate

Hi,
Of course a lot depends on your Exchange AS configuration. Myself I'm pretty sure the implementation on Android works, but you might have to import the certificate after all, as your Exchange AS server might not like the fact that Android 'ignores' the certificate.
The best thing you can do is check with your IT department what the exact requirements for AS access are. Maybe your account needs to be activated for it? They should also be able to provide you with the certificate if needed .
Good luck!

success!
we've got android and non WM users connecting via a different server url, basically (from what IT have told me) it's connecting directly to the exchange box which removes the need for some security protocals. Sub folders, calender sync, contact sync all works.

I don't know if I should better start a new thread, but I also have problems with our new Exchange 2010 and it fits into this conversation:
I get the same error-messages tyroneee describes.
Before we changed to Exchange 2010 we had 2003 and I didn't have any problems at all with syncing my phone. But now it no longer works.
I tried the way Gunthy` describes to add a new account, but these options don't exist in my menu!
Settings > Accounts & sync > Add account > NO Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync
I only have "Twitter", "Facebook", "GMail" and "Work" in this list.
When I select work (which is closest to what I want), I get told to enter Mail-Address and Password, on the next step the server address and domain and then it again fails to connect.
Is there anywhere a hidden tick which I have to activate on Froyo to enable active sync?

I don't know, it just does.
Other AS and Exchange servers are running without a problem, IMAP and POP too. Just Exchange 2010 is making errors.

The IT noticed, that really something with my exchange mailbox isn't good anymore and they are now fixing it. So it should work in a few days ^^;

Froyo Exchange 2010 Fix
I am the Exchange administrator for the company I work for, and 3 days ago installed Exchange 2010. And Poof... no more Froyo Android devices work with the new system.
And so far, the ONLY fix I've found is to run this command against the server:
Remove-ActiveSyncMailboxPolicy -id Default
Provided default is the only ActiveSync policy, this leaves the system with NO policy, and then they all work..
Seeing as how I use a DROID with Froyo, I was able to figure it out. BUT, good luck getting your exchange administrator to leave this, seeing as how I have to find a better solution lest I end up using touchdown myself.

[Q] Exchange 2003 Settings on HD7

Ok, so I don't know if anyone else is having a problem setting up their HD7 with corporate email (Exchange 2003) but I think I need some help on this one. I have tried some other forums in regards to troublesooting this issue but I still get one error or the other concerning not being able to connect.
Can someone just please tell me what the actual settings on the phone should be?
Username: ??
Password: (obvious)
Domain: ??
Server: ??
Server requires encrypted (SSL) connection (Check or uncheck)
Please I need the actual structure of how these fields should be entered.
Any help would be much appreciated.

What do you mean.. It's pretty straight forward. Did you configure your Exchange server on the Win 6.5 or any other Smart Phone Exchange account?
I personally use the OWA (Outlook Web Access) settings.
For my settings (this is how I log into my OWA)
Username: just my username NOT my entire email (this could be different as per your company's policies).
Password: You should know that
Domain: I have a domain for my work, but I know that it's not always required that you need a domain. I did have to enter a domain at my previous employer.
Server: This is always required. In my case, its the web address that comes after the https:// when I sign into my OWA account.
Hope this helps.

I have tried that and this is the error I get along with troubleshooting tips that I tried.
"There is a problem with the certificate for mail.mydomain.com. Error Code: 80072F06
I was told to try and retrieve the cert from my IIS and I emailed that to my hotmail and then installed the cert. The problem still persists. I also tried getting a third party root cert as well from www.cacert.org. Same issue.
What do you think the problem can be? And I don't think am the only one with this issue.

I have configured exchange on Win. MO 6.5 on my HTC Touch HD back then and it was a breeze. All I entered was incoming and outgoing set to mail.mydomain.com and that was it.
Apparently its a different ball game with Windows Phone 7.

I'm not sure if that was an exchange account you configured if you had options for incoming and outgoing mail servers. They are usually configured for POP mail accounts.
Sorry it the info wasn't helpful.

It's not really a different game with WP7. The same settings you would use on an iphone/WM6.5/Android is what you would use on a WP7.
As for the cert issue, if you are able to use exchange with any other smartphone OS, you should be able to with WP7.
My problem with exchange/WP7 is that I have to let it fail upon entering username/pw to get it to prompt for the domain. Then I have to let it fail so I can hit the advanced button to enter the servername (typically mail.servername.com).
I would like to be able to enter all 4 fields from the get go.

mail the .cert to your Live account that you use on your phone and open it on the phone click the .cert and it get downloaded , click it again . (it will install the .cert)
then try to setup your exchange again .

after i mail the cert, do I have to delete the account and reenter it or just try to resync or should it matter?
Honestly, this is really kicking my butt. I actually went on our exchange server, went to iis and got the cert off of the EAS and I rebooted my HD7 but no luck. I am going to try and setup the email again and see what happens.

I don't know , but I think it doesn't matter.

Still doesn't work....I am about to start pulling out my hair literally.

If you want a quick and easy solution, buy an actual digitally signed cert from a legit CoA like godaddy and install it on your exchange server. It will help with so many things, and your phone wont ask you for a cert anymore.

But my concern is why we have to go through that because we want to sync a "SMART" phone with corporate email. Really, is it worth buying a cert for that. I mean if Android, BB and Iphone can pull it off without any hassle, why should Microsoft make us go through all that and apparently no one complains much about this which makes it more annoying.

Yes, it is worth buying a cert for it. We're talking 30 bucks or so, and you won't have to rely on your servers self-signed cert. Things like mail.server.com/exchange will work flawlessly on any machine, never asking you to add an exception, etc.
Even if you had NO smartphones, it's a worthy investment, if only to have your mailserver more legit to the interwebs.
So yes, 30 dollars and an hour of your time are most certainly worth it.

It's a total hassle. You have to get a cert to the phone somehow and install it. Put a real cert on your server and you never ever have to do that crap again.

I am having similar problem. I tried the solution and saved the .cer file to HD7, however Exchange server is still not working with the same error

was anyone able to get this working?
Without having to buy the certificate

Where the hell do you get exchange cert for 30 bucks? The cheapest i´ve seen was like 200.
OP: you HAVE to import your servers self-issued cert, it won´t work without it, import it, and then do the settings, also make sure that you have activesync enabled on the server´s side.
