I'm trying to find out the Hotmail Exchange server setting in the hope that it will start working prior to the official rollout. I know they started the wave 4 rollout today. They've said it will be rolled out in pieces and isn't due to finish until August but they don't give any idea to who will get which features when. So if you find out the exchange setting for Hotmail / Windows Live Mail post them here.

ActiveSync has been working just fine with our Exchange Server 2007 for the past 6 months. However, today we updated from 2007 to 2010 server and the server address changed from exchange.xxxx.com to remote.xxxx.com and I cannot figure out how to change this on the settings. The only thing that it will allow me to edit is the password. I press on the server address and it will not do anything. I have deleted the account on my phone and re-entered it hoping that it will let me edit manually. I get the error message, "Your microsoft exchange server account does not have permission to synchronize with your current settings. Contact your exchange server admin". I made sure the spelling is correct and our Admin is well, not up to the challenge.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI just got my first Android phone, a Motorola Milestone with Telus. I use Exchange 2007 and setup activesync with the builtin email client and it works great, however, the view is one folder at a time. I have many rules setup to move emails from specific sources to specific folders since I receive a lot of email in a day from many different clients and vendors. The problem I see is that I have to manually switch from one folder to another and hit refresh to see new emails in the subfolders.

After synchronizing it shows only few folders from my mail box (around 5) where i got around 50. I tried to delete the account and recreate it -> no change I give a try to Touchdown app, and it retrieve all folders. I don't want to use another app than the one given with my HTC, so here is why I post this topic.

I have found a problem and no solution on line ... so I wanted to run it past you all. I have SBS2003 R2 Premium. We have several smartphones ... android based with email through our Exchange 2003 server using activesync. THE PROBLEM: When users attempt to forward an email to another domain users mailbox ... the email is never received. It shows in the outbox in both the phone and Exchange outbox (sent items). If I forward the email from me to me, the email is successful. Also, if an email is sent directly to a domain user, the email is received (no forwarding) without any problem. All other aspects of activesync appear to work fine. Still have not found an Iphone to test against.

So I've been using my corporate Blackberry.. I rarely surf on the phone - if ever to just use it to quickly prove a point or get some basic GPS navigation. Basically I use it as a phone, email device and calendar. Occasionaly to take a picture too.
I've not been too excited to change until now.
I understand the Evo can be used as a mobile hotspot at 4g? WOW! Anybody using it to serve wifi for a PS3 online game from it ? does it really work?
What about corporate push email? Will it work with Exchange ActiveSync to keep my Outlook email and calendars current on the phone? What about Gmail and yahoo push email? Will pushing emails from these three servers drain my battery?
How widespread is the Sprint 4g network? Any chance of getting 4g in places like Gainesville, FL, Macon, GA, Helen, Georgia?
I am running 2.1 v2 on my Droid Eris and I set up my work email (exchange) through Activesync.
Now every time the lock screen appears I can't open it up without a password. I want this turned off. I have read elsewhere that you can install apps that overcome the lock. However, I am exploring other ways to work around this. Does anyone else have experience with this? I would like to not have to enter the password in every time the phone screen locks. I also don't necessarily want an app running in the background either.
I got my HTC Incredible running 2.1 when it was first released, setup my Exchange ActiveSync account, and noticed that my only option under Mail Size Limit is to download Headers Only. This got annoying very quickly, as I have to click 'Get Remaining' on every single email, regardless of the size. I researched this issue when the phone first came out and came up with nothing on it, and two other guys at work with the Droid Eris on 1.5 don't have this issue, they get the full range of size options to download.
Fast forward to today, one of the guys with the Eris installed the update to Android 2.1, and now he has the exact same problem I do. When I saw his issue, I started to research it again now that a month or so has passed, but I still can't seem to find any documentation or reports of similar issues.
Anybody else see this behavior with 2.1 + Exchange? I can't see it being a problem server-side since it works under 1.5, but my phone can download the whole message if I setup a regular POP account.
I've been debating configuring my personal phone to access my employer's Exchange server; I would be checking it on occasion-- more of a convenience thing to know what's up before I head in for the day.
Using the default Android Mail client and choosing ActiveSync and doing the setup, I inevitably reach a screen with the following:
Quote:
Activate security policies?
Exchange security policies
Your IT administrator requires that you activate these security policies in order to sync with your Exchange Server.
Activating this administrator will allow the application Mail to perform the following operations:
! Erase all data
Perform a factory reset, which deletes all of your data without any confirmation.
! Set password rules
Restrict the types of passwords that you are allowed to use.
! Monitor screen-unlock attempts
Monitor failed attempts to log into your device.
! Lock the screen
Control when your device locks, requiring that you re-enter your password.
! Device function limitation
Restrict some function on device like Wifi, Bluetooth, Camera etc.
Needless to say, this is highly unappealing for my personal phone-- way too much power for the Mail application. So my questions-- what are my options?
-would a different Exchange connectivity application like Touchdown request those same permissions for access?
-would I be better off setting up ActiveSync on an alternate ROM and booting into that when I want to check work mail (not as frequently as some other users)?
-How far does that remote wipe control extend? Could they wipe the entire phone, including bootloader? Or is it just reference to internal storage? Could they wipe the external SD card?
-is there a way to revoke those permissions from the Mail application while retaining the ability to connect to the Exchange server?
I bought the Evo for my personal use. However, I was looking at an FAQ this morning on my company's IT site on supporting Android devices thinking it might be a possibility. Currently personally funded Blackberry, iPhone and Windows mobile devices are supported for connection to our Microsoft Exchange email services.
I noticed the following in an FAQ in regards to Android support, is this true? I thought the Evo supports ActiveSync?
Question: How can I access my corporate email on my Android device?
Answer: At the moment, XYZ does not support Android due to its lack of ActiveSync support (access to Microsoft Exchange email). When/If this option becomes available, updates will be posted through the Mobile Device website.
Question: When will Android be an option for users?
Answer: XYZ has decided that we will not support the Android for corporate email at this time. If/When Android supports ActiveSync we will re-evaluate.
Question: How about if I have a personally funded Android phone?
Answer: Presently, corporate email access is not available for any Android devices due to its lack of ActiveSync support (access to Microsoft Exchange email).
I was just tinkering with my Droid Incredible's "Accounts & Sync" and I am confused about something. With the Gmail app, there is no option to designate how often to check do for messages because it's a push email client, good. But when I check my settings for Exchange, I am given options to select how often to sync. I was under the impression that Exchange ActiveSync is a push email service, meaning I shouldn't need to designate when I want it to sync because it pushes vs. pulling. Am I missing something here?
I am running 2.2 froyo under SkyRaider 2.5
I got my HTC Desire last week and Synced it with our Kerio Mail Server 6.7.0 patch 1. Had to add the line to allow unsupported devices as it was giving some connection issues and then worked fine after that. The problem has been with the syncing of the contacts. It syncs fine for about the first few syncs and then it gives an error on the phone "failed to connect to the server" But it syncs mail and the calendar perfectly. The issue is that the syncing of the contacts is second on the list of 3 items to sync as per the phone. So it syncs mail first - fine, contacts second - error and then calendar - fine. I removed my contacts from my mail on the server and it still didn't update on the phone. So wasn't communicating with the server as per the error. If I delete my contacts on the phone, it then connects fine to the server and I get my contacts back. Works fine for about a few syncs and then without adding or deleting any contacts I get the error message back.

Haven't had a call from the Exchange police yet. Just an FYI in hopes to save a few people some money.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI use Exchange as my email client & I have used Exchange ActiveSync to connect. Everything is working well apart from when the phone has been in-active & is locked I am required to enter my Exchange password to unlock.

View 2 Replies View RelatedWhen using various 2.2 leaked builds or cooked ROMs, I had problems with activesync behaving properly. I even loaded and rooted the leaked 'official' Rom that came out yesterday and it didn't sync right. Constant sync, sync errors, etc. I reverted back to 2.1. I downgraded to 1xx radio and original hboot today in hopes that the actual ota will not have the same 2.2 ActiveSync issues I had with cooked builds. I am now thinking that if the official I had yesterday wasn't right the ota won't be any different. Is there a known problem with 2.2 having activesync issues? Do I want to not upgrade to 2.2 until this issue is revolved?
View 2 Replies View RelatedIs there an email.apk or alternate method of removing the security pin/pattern lock that's forced when you configure Exchange ActiveSync in Froyo? I found something on XDA, but it was earlier in the year and i believe it was only for 2.1. LockPicker is only for 2.1 also. I'm rooted running Myn's RLS3 ROM if that information is needed...
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've set up Exchange Activesync on my Evo, and the calendar seems to sync fine. However, I'm not getting any reminders in my status bar even though they are enabled on the calendar settings.
Further, if I go into an appointment that has a reminder set on it, I get the following message:
Delete
Are you sure you want to delete this reminder?
If I hit cancel and then back out of the event, it seems to re-save the calendar event, but I still don't get any reminders.
Had a question with scheduling my activesync. If I don't get a lot of work emails is it better for battery life to set it to sync every 10 minutes or as items arrive?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to get my HTC Desire syncing email with my company's Exchange 2007 server, but I'm getting an "Error when doing SSL" error when I hit the "Sync now" button under "Accounts & sync". My searches on the forums seem to suggest that this issue usually arises when you use a self-signed SSL certificate, but my company uses a certificate signed by Comodo, so I would have thought that would be fine. Workmates using iPhones don't have any problems connecting to Exchange, so I'm left scratching my head as to why I'm having this problem.
It's also a little weird because, when I enter my username, password, server name, etc. it seems to update my mail alright the first time, but then comes up with this error every check after that, and always fails to sync my calendar and contacts.
Do Android 2.1 phones not come with the root certificate for Comodo or something?
Im having some trouble with exchange activesync over the air. I have it set to dl my mail and calendar but if i access that mail account from elsewhere with webmail all of a sudden my phone will not sync anymore.
If i delete the account off my phone and reset it up it works again, but only until i use it elsewhere and then no more sync...I use the mail widget too.
I can't seem to connect to Exchange to sync my emails. I have gone through the manual setup process and checked all the settings are correct. I verified account information fine but then i get to the Exchange ActiveSync Settings page where i have to select the data i want to synchronise - contacts, email, calendar.
View 12 Replies View RelatedI have twice (since Friday) encountered an ActiveSync error to my corporate exchange server that I've only been able to fix by deleting and recreating the ActiveSync profile. the problem manifests itself as a perpetual unsuccessful attempt to sync and occurs seemingly randomly. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated. I've seen some threads referencing Touchdown but not sure this is the right solution for this problem on the EVO. Please don't tell me I need to go back to my Blackberry...Thanks!
View 4 Replies View RelatedI just received my Incredible yesterday to replace my Blackberry Storm. I cannot complete the Exchange Activesync setup because it says it cannot contact the Exchange server. I've tried numerous times: placing https:// in-front of the server name, putting <<domain>><<username>> in the username field while keeping the domain field blank, checking and unchecking the SSL box. Nothing is working.
So I downloaded Touchdown. I entered the same exact settings that I believe should have worked for the Mail app and Touchdown connects just fine. It gives you the option to connect via Activesync only, Exchange 2007 or Exchange 2003. I selected Activesync and I'm seeing all my emails, contacts and appointments.
Is there something on the server side that could be preventing me from setting up the HTC Mail app. This is a major deal breaker for me. I guess, I could use Touchdown but I'd prefer not to.
I'm using Frankenrom, and used Titanium to restore my email account settings.
Exchange from my PC is being pushed to my phone, but I can't add anything new from my phone. From the calendar program, if I select Menu-->More-->Calendars, my Exchange calendar isn't listed.
Also, if I go to the main Menu-->Account & Sync, there is no Exchange or Activesync listed. If I go to Add Account, I can select Exchange ActiveSync and it has my account info in it. Clicking Save, it just thinks for a bit then closes. Clicking Discard does pretty much the same thing.
Where could I look to manually delete my ActiveSync account?. Basically I'm looking for a config file somewhere to delete. I'm guessing it is like this since I used Titanium to restore account settings rather than setting it up manually.
I'd like to use my gmail account connected via exchange activesync. I set that up with various email apps and it works nicely.
The only problem is that I don't use my gmail address as my known email address. I have an alias that points to gmail. When I email people, I want that alias to show as the email and reply to addresses.
When I have everything set up via IMAP/SMTP, I'm able to do that with K9.
Unfortunately, when connected via the Activesync way and I send mail, it always shows my gmail address to the recipient.
Is there any way/app that would allow me to do what I want? I do have my alias set up as a send mail as option in the gmail web interface.
At work we use many different kinds of phones. blackberries, android, iphones.
The blackberries have their own setup. iphones and androids use activesync. Everything ran nicely.
We recently switched activesync from port 80 to 85. We are having issues with some android devices.
The gingerbread ones are fine... just adding the port & colon ':85' at the end of the server address.
( servername.com:85 )
But anything with ICS or above... is soon as you add the colon the 'next' button greys out... like it's an invalid character.
