hello!
is there a way to configure my work exchange e-mail on the phone the way it's configured on my computer (using mailbox server name)? my company is taking forever to grant me permission for mobile exchange syncing.
big thanks!
If your company uses OWA, then just use that connection for the active sync.
Usually, it is http://owa.domain.com or http://mail.domain.com/exchange
However, if they disabled the mobile active sync in the exchange server, then there is nothing you can do.

I have a privately owned Qtek 9000 using the latest Imate Rom.
I have my personal email (from my home desktop) synced to the Pocket PC Partnership.
My organisation runs exchange server 2003 SP2 and I would ideally want to us push email to sync my business emails to my device, but keep the personal emails seperately.
I know Active Sync states that you can only sync one set of email accounts, but when I set up a partnership with my work pc the "sysnc with 'exchange' directly" option is offered. I have thus far declined this offer as I want to keep my personal mail sync.
Does the restriction on only syncing one email account apply to the scenario above?
Thanks
Hi Steven,
I think with the current version of ActivesSnc we are limited to only syncing one account at a time (either via Exchange or PC). I've tried a bunch of different options, but doesnt work with exchange.
The way I got it to work, is set up a new account with POP settings in the WM5 device, but this by passes activesync completely...
Good idea, I hadn't thought of that.
Thanks
I've looked around and can't find an answer to this, It might sound stupid and whatnot but I'm new to smart phones. I have my e-mail set up fine on my phone, I use Comcast if that matters. Anyways, I was wondering if there's a way to sync the e-mails from outlook onto the comcast account on my phone. Everytime I sync it just goes straight to the Outlook E-mail which means I have the messages I sent on my phone in my comcast account and the messages from my laptop in the Outlook account.
not sure on bump rules around here, but anyone know of a solution? figured it was okay to bump was 12 hours ;/
Can you describe your setup and how you are using it in a little more detail ?
I am using Outlook ( w/exchange ) and my ISP email account on my phone so I may be able to help if I understand your setup better.
I'm using outlook as my regular e-mail program on my computer. Using it with comcast.
I have it set up perfect on my phone, I made a new account and everything works I can send + receive. There's not necessarily a problem persay, but more or less it's the fact that I send e-mail's on my phone as well as my computer. I have it syncing perfect, but my question was, can I make it so I can send/receive e-mails with the Outlook E-Mail account on my phone? That way I can delete my Comcast account via my phone. Cause right now I have
1. Text Messages
2. Outlook E-mail
3. Comcast
4. MM messages
5. New Account
I don't even have to necessarily use the outlook on my phone, but is there a way I can sync the outlook on my ccomputer with the comcast account on my phone?
Like I was trying to say in my first post, for example; I was sending e-mails on my phone to birdbreeders in search of a bird on my comcast account. I came home and sent a couple on my computer, then I synced my phone. I synced the sent e-mails from my computer into the Outlook E-mail account on my phone, when I want it to the comcast. Now if I want to review the e-mails I sent I have to look at some on the comcast account and some on the Outlook account. It's more or less just a hassle that I'm wondering if any registry edits or 3rd party programs can solve.
Pretty much to some it up, I want to sync my computer with a accountn on my phone not to the Outlook account
(BTW maybe there's a way to set up the outlook account on the phone to use my comcast e-mail, but I don't have t-mobile so when I try to set up the e-mail it doesn't let me). If I flash it to the HTC rom will it allow me to set up the outlook e-mail to any account I want?
One more thing, would I be gaining anything flashing to the HTC rom? I use Cingular and live in the USA if that matters.
As far as I know, Outlook on the phone cannot send or receive emails. It can only 'sync' with Outlook on a computer to send and receive or direct to an exchange server.
The other account you set up (comcast) can send and receive emails from the phone directly using GPRS or Wifi or your computer's Internet connection (via usb or bluetooth)
As such, the two are separate and cannot be combined even though you are basically using both with the same email service.
To use the phone as you describe (everthing under Outlook) you would have to restrict yourself to sending emails via the phone Outlook account only but they would not actually go anywhere until you synced with your computer and did a send on desktop Outlook !
Typically people use Outlook to duplicate there desktop Outlook on ther phone or like me, connect directly to a corporate exchange server via GPRS. Other accounts are setup (like your comcast) for personal email. I use my personal ISP email account on the phone to only preview incoming emails (headers only) before using my laptop to actually get them off the ISP email server. Same with Hotmail on my phone.
Hope this helps.

Let me add a couple of my comment to the above:
The Outlook on your phone is for you to sync with your Desktop or Notebook Outlook with contents you could select including the Contact, Calendar, Task and Mobile Favourite.
You may setup using New Account and select whatever provider or pop3/imap account. This account could be identical to your Desktop/Notebook account.
When new mail comes in, both your phone's email (the one you setup using New Account) and Desktop/Notebook Outlook will have a copy of that email.
The copy on your phone will remove from your phone once you sync it with your Desktop/Notebook Outlook. You may also send email from your phone using the New Account which you setup but you should c.c. or b.c.c. yourself a copy of the sent mail so your desktop/notebook could retain a copy of mail you have sent.
The advantage to use this is that I could filter out all junk/spam mail before my desktop/notebook outlook retrieve the mail.
When new mail arrive on your phone, if they are junk/spam, you could delete them from your Inbox, then goes to Delete Items folder and Menu > 7 to clear all the Delete Items from the folder. The next time your phone retrieve email from the server, it will remove them from the server.
You should set the retrieve interval to either 15 or 30 minutes. Or you may manually connect to your server to remove those junk/spam mail from your phone.
Hope the above help.
Hi there, is there anyway to remove the outlook account?
I can send from my Sprint TP2 mail "link" acct I created both on network or wifi but If I use the 'outlook' account (now that I think about it-i think it was auto created by activesync) to send or most specifically-reply to an email , it just waits in the outbox unless i manually run activesync... I want the emails to be sent when I'm NOT on my pc! So, I can send, but only from the "link" account. Ideas? Thanks in adv.
The "Outlook" account on your device will only fully function if you set it to sync with an Exchange Server. Otherwise, it will do what you just described. If you don't have an Exchange account, don't set your Activesync to sync your mails.
Alllrighty then. Hmmm, can a guy create a dummy acct? Perhaps my hosting co./mail server co offers a solution. how does one go about getting said account? Theme looks cool, i'll try it. Thanks for the tip.
Gmail has recently supported syncing via Exchange. Personally, I signed up for a free exchange account at win.alol.net.br
There are others of course if you have a search.
I'd like to sync my HTC desire's calendar and contact with Outlook from work. The issue is that at work I do not have priviledged rights to my PC, so I can't install any program and our IT helpdesk does not want to install for me an Outlook add-on that would sync with google calendar/contact.
The only thing I can do though, is to run programs on my work PC that don't require installation (ie portable apps only).
So far, what I have been able to do was to run portable thunderbird on a UBS key, collect my Outlook contact with portable thunderbird. Then transfer these thunderbird contact to thunderbird installed on my home PC and with the gContactSync addon, the thunderbird contacts extracted from thunderbird are eventually synced to my google contact(and then obviously to my phone). This is however a tedious process that I can't do on a daily basis. And it's only a one way process from home to google/phone, not the reverse. I'm wondering whether I could do this in a more convenient and more automated way (including possibly the calendar)?
Also I know the Desire can be synced with Exchange servers, but I doubt it would be feasible in my case: To start with, I don't know how I would be able to do that, and in particular how I would be able to collect the exchange server info required for the setup without the help of the IT services (they won't be particularly helpful because it is not for pro usage).
Any advice would be nice

Well, you can always try a way that worked with iPhone and any other device with MS Activesync.
If you have a VPN account to your company, try to connect with a VPN client to your desire and then you can setup an activesync account to your phone.
Try it using the actual ip address of your exchange server.
It worked for me in the past.

And of course your windows account.
I've been trying to debug some partial wake locks and I see email is using the most time when the screen is off. I have it set to "push", but I use Exchange Active Sync by pointing the server to the Outlook Web Access page, so how could it truly push? Is it perhaps just polling every minute to 30 seconds so this adds up over time?
I've been researching this more. What's not clear to me is I am putting in my webmailportal.xxx as the server address -- I wasn't sure if that would work for any outlook web access or if the sysadmins had it set up to also push with activesync. For some reason I think these sysadmins are not that bright, and wouldn't have active sync set up....
So the question becomes: Is there a way to tell if a server has activesync set up on it and does the email app default to some sort of webmail scraping mode if you give it an outlook web access server....
Exchange 2007 and 2010 do 'push' to your device, it does not need to poll in order to synchronize.
OWA syncs through your organization's webmail address, but the server and device create a sync relationship at which point the server pushes down updates to any and all devices associated with your mailbox.
These statements assume you have are running the stock email client on a stock EVO.
