Whats the best ways to do this?
If sombody helps me quick i have a Legit unactivated Vista premium they can have the key for as im really deperate for help
Not 100% sure of the ins and outs, but exchange 2003 has to have SP2.
Also, check this http://thelazyadmin.com/index.php?/archives/409-Configuring-Direct-Push.html
Might help!
Good luck!
Hi,
forget the native MS Push, try OLX Mobile Access from www.gangl.de. Been using this since 2005 and had no probs at all. Absolutely recommended !
This really depends how you want to sync your e-mail. If you want Push, you will need to have exhange server 2003 with SP2 install and have WM5 with Push technology. If you just want to download e-mail everytime you connect your device to the internet, you can do it with any version of exchange 2003 and almost any version of windows mobile.
Also, to get e-mail directly fro your exchange server will depends on your server settings. But you will at least require the following informaton:
1) Server address
2) Username (this does not necessary be the same as your e-mail address, it is the actual username that let you log onto exchange server. Usually it will be the same username as your Outlook Web Access for Exchange 2003)
3) Password (for the above username)
4) Domain (this domain is necessary or else your pocket pc will not be able to access the proper location where your e-mail is located)
Once you have all of the above information, you can either set it up on Active Sync on your PC or on your PPC. To do it on PPC, open Active Sync, Menu, Configure Server... enter all of the above information (remember to click SSL encryted if your server is encryted {most likely it will be}). Then go back to Active Sync, Menu, Options... change all of the data that you want to get from exchange server (ie: Contacts, Calendar, etc). Now you are all set. You just need to connect your device to the internet, open Active Sync, click on the Sync button, it will automatically fetch the information from your server. For Push to work, simply leave your internet connect open, go to your Comm Manager, make sure the Push symbol is Green (or On). Your e-mail will automatically be downloaded to your PPC once it arrive to the server. I will not leave Push on if you are using GPRS or HSDPA as e-mail send to your mobile device will not have been SPAM filtered (unless your server admin has the SPAM filter turn on but it is unlikely as this will restriction user control, normally SPAM is filter by client software like Office on PC), so your internet connect charges can ge quite big!
Anyway, hope this will help. Ciao.

One more note, if you are using Vista, it is about 100 times easier... you just need to have your Microsoft Office Outlook setup to connect to your Exchange server and it will automatically know what settings needed to put onto your pocket PC :O)
And setting it up on Outlook could be quite easy as well if your Exchange Server has auto-configure utilities to download (ie: allow you to download the .prf files for your account profile and you can just import that to Outlook and everything will be automatically setup.). Hope this help and not too too complicated for you.

Hi folks,
you don't need exchange. Although i have one, i mentioned OLX Mobile Access which also supports MS Outlook without Exchange, it's called OLX Mobile Access Personal. You can download a 30 days trial.
And you should, for this one is really cool. It even supports Outlook Notes !
Setup and configuration is in english, so don't mind the german website.

My company has cut support for pocket outlook, so now I can't sync with the exchange server anymore (not directly, by wifi not even with activesync when connected to the pc). However, "normal" outlook still works, is there a way to mask the pocket pc and force the server to sync with it?
there could be many reasons as to why you can no longer sync. activesync could be disabled on the exchange server, perhaps they have removed access from outside the network, perhaps you need to VPN to the LAN first.....
can you give more info regarding your existing outlook set up? is it accessing the server from the LAN? is it possible to use outlook to check mail remotely? if so is outlook setup to check mail over a VPN or http?
the more info you can provide the easier it is to help.
I can only check email inside the company's network, so I have an openvpn account to check when I'm at home or anywhere else. This worked perfectly until they shut down the service. Now activesync gives an error 85010014 and they told me it was normal, the service was no longer supported. That's why I want to mask the pocket pc to make it look like the normal outlook and still allow me to sync everything. Is it possible?
Outlook PPC communicates with Exchange via web server and does not use the same Exchange protocol that Outlook desktop does. Your best bet might be if your Exchange server exposes an IMAP service, which you can then connect to.
The bottom line is Outlook PPC and Outlook desktop are completely different.
You may also like to try Outlook Mobile Access, which may also have been shut down (as it runs alongside DirectPush as a rule). In IE try something like: https://mypushserver.mycompany.com/oma. Use http or https depending on whether DirectPush was originally configured for SSL or not.
Edit: If your company is only supporting Blackberry (as mine does) you might want to try BB Connect for Windows Mobile. I'm not sure how easy it is to get hold of, however.
they did mention something about blackberry... but how does that work, from what I read it only works on gprs/3G, and I wanted to sync with wi-fi as well. Also, I found no download link, but some promises about a wm6 version for soon. Can anyone tell me where to look for more info?
I have Qtek9000 with the latest JW ROM. I use the Outlook Mobile exchange PushMail. It works well, but I am wondering if there is any better PushMail client that I can use instead of Outlook? Now, I cannot receive Today notification if I recieve an e-mail which is filtered by Ruls to another than Inbox folder... I cannot open several e-mails simulteniously, there is no way to ask Read/Delivery confirmation, no way to change the current view of the Inbox and other e-mail forlder, .. the Sent items are sorted by "From" (i.e. my e-mail), not "to".. etc.
hhmm.. I am still trying to find any Push Mail client, but no success.... any ideas?

I will try it.. but as i read, it use activesync acount (there is no way to set up separate exchange server)... and in order to use it, I must keep both - default outlook mail and Flexmail, which is not so good).
If it is possible JW to make some changes in the Outlook Mail in order to be able to sort the e-mails by "TO" (there is only an option to sort them by "FROM"). I need it when looking at "Sent" items
I just mentioned this article: http://blogs.msdn.com/outlook_mobile/archive/2007/03/13/wm6-messaging.aspx and found the Outlook in JW ROM is a littje bit diferrent from the shown pictures! On my device I cannot find the menu for Exchange server searching... If the Outlook in JW ROM is the latest WM Outlook version?
Exchange Sync - strange problem!
Hi, I use PushMail on my PPC (Qyek9000, WM6) to sync with our company
Exchange Server 2003SP2. It worked fine till 01st May 2007, when I suddently
stopped recieving any e-mails/contacts/tasks from Exchange server to my PPC!
It is still connected, it found and synchronizes the Folder list (only), it
count the number of e-mails inside the inbox, but DOES NOT retrieve ANY
e-mails/contacts. It just shows me "0 items". At the same time, I can send
e-mails and if I change something on my PPC (ex.new Task/contact) it
synchronized on the Server and I can see it on my desktop Outlook.... The IT
guys checked the server, but nothing found! I have deleted and reinstalled my
PPC exchange mail settings, but the same problem. Please any idea how to
solve it. Thanks!
You can actually set your pushmail exchange email account to sync outside of your inbox:
On your device:
Goto Messaging
Outlook Email
Menu
Tools
Manage Folders
You'll see a folder browser.
Inbox is default synced
You can now enable more folders for synchronization (for example your sent items)
This way you can sync your inbox and a couple of your selection of folders for specific people

I can and I did it! But the problem is that I still not recieve any e-mails on my PPC. In fact, it synchronize one-way - from PPC-to Exchange server, but not vice versa! I can see the folder list, but it does not "send/push" amy e-mails... Last week it worked normally!
The IT guy
Mine is working great (I am the IT guy), Make sure that you have the correct certificate on your PDA, or ask you IT guy to give you the certificate and reinstall it.
Then make sure to try your account with and without SSL.
Good luck, let me know…

The certificate is fine but the problem stil. I tried another PPC - Nokia, with Symbian, but the same problem. The result is that I can synchronize ONEWAY only - from PPC to Exchange, but not vise versa (from Exchnage to PPC). The IT department guys cannot find any reason and do not know what to do. I suggest tham to restrat/reset the exchange server... but still waiting
Problem Solved
The problem is solved! The reason for the problem was the Exchange Server's antivirus software (McAfee). We had to switch the mail scanning from "on demant" to "background scanning". Now it works
Sound complicated.
I am using live.mail2web.com and receiving mail at Outlook and is ok. Just need to set the exchange address, thats all.

Hello,
Is it possible to send mails from the "Outlook E-mail" account which is synchronized with my Outlook from Windows mobile phone ? When I want to answer to a mail, it is saved in outbox and then after next sync my Outlook sends it. so i always have to use my own configured mail account there. and answering on a mail from "Outlook E-mail" is not possible...
Hi,
for doing this, you need to configure your mobile device to fetch e-mail directly from your isp's mailaccount via pop3 or imap. that's something completely different from active sync.
be aware, if you configure pop3 you need to leave a copy of the mail on the mailserver for pop3 downloads messages. in that case you'll get your mails only on one device (mobile OR pc/notebook). the solution would be imap.
so you need to configure your mobile device just like your outlook account on you pc/notebook (server, username, password).
Plus, you'll need to have a look on your data transfer. if you access you mailaccount directly, the mails charge your dataplan. so take care of size limitations while configuring your mobile device (only headers prob, and limit size of attachments unless you do not want to download huge mails).
Hope this helps,
tsfnet
No other way?
I have my outlook account, synchronised with all mail downloaded at the office and an imap account to retrieve emails on the go. As the imap account is cleared after office download, there is no archive inside. Both accounts are linked to the same email address.
I would like to be able to work on my mails (outlook account) and then send replies thanks to the imap account.
In office 2007 there is an option to enable you to select the account to be used for repling or sending emails. No such option in WM6?
Thanks
Michel
Ps. On top anyway to retrieve several emails accounts in one go?
I think you are looking to sync your company email. You will need your IT dept to set up Exchange for you to do this:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmob...ketpcphone/email/company/exchangeoverair.mspx
Thanks.
Sadly I'm not using a Microsoft Exchange Server.
Outlook is directly retrieving emails from my imap server (sync with my Kaiser). When I'm roaming, I retrieve mails on the imap server directly.
I'm not able to reply to mails previously sync (outlook account) when I'm not at the office - This is an issue as I'm consultant and I stay days without coming back to my home base.
Thanks for your help
Michel
Message up.
Sorry & Thanks
hey man i hated that too i thought that m$ didnt make this a thing you can do out the box.. just download emoze or another similar app that will push everything to your phone and from your phone to your comp.. if i were you when you do this dont have it push your contacts because when you plug in to active sync it doubles
Thanks - I will give it a try.
But it is weird it is not possible to select the account to be used when sending/replying to emails.
I tried to copy/past my answer from my outlook (sync) account to my roaming one and this is not even working.
Any other idea?
Thx
M
No solutions?
Maybe using another email client?
thx
M.
pocket outlook is gimped without exchange... also, exchange 2003 has push enabled if it's up on service pack but lacks html email and some other instant sync capabilities that 2007 has...
if i didn't setup my own server i would def say paying for hosted exchange is worth it... ive messed with all those other sync/push clones but nothing comes anywhere near to the functionality/ease-of-use of having direct sync with exchange.
I will check for an hosted exchange server.
As a temp solution I will try FlexMail 2007: It is possible to reply to sync mail with another account.

Would this fix your problem? Set Outlook on your PC to "Leave a copy of messages on the server", and have your Kaiser retrieve all your messages from the IMAP server directly, whether you're in the office or not. If the Kaiser is connected via ActiveSync, it will use your PC's internet connection anyway, so no extra network charges.
That way all your emails are in one account on the Kaiser, and you could even turn off Outlook mail syncing in ActiveSync and reply directly to emails from the IMAP account on the Kaiser.
If you can't find "Leave a copy of messages on the server" in Windows Outlook, on my version (Outlook 2003) it's under Tools/Email Accounts/View or Change/Change/More Settings/Advanced (well hidden).
Can't confirm this option is there for IMAP - I use POP3 myself.

I haven't done too much looking at exchange hosting solutions but I think $10/month is the minimum you'll find... mail2web appears to have good hosting solutions.. you can try out their free service but it requries you to use their email address unless you upgrade to the $10/month plan.
Hi I just downloaded windows live onto my verizon xv6800, but when i go into setup new email account in outlook and enter my email address and select automatically get settings, it then says found settings for msn.com, but then it just transfers me to windows live. I cannot get outlook to send and recevie messages. Any help you can offer would be greatly appreicated.
First post....first question
Hi guys, i was looking for a way to syncronize my hotmail account with pocket outlook, is ti possible??
On my pc i've installed "Outlook Connector" to sync them...
...something similar for ppc??
I searched through the forum but i haven't found anything
Sorry for my bad bad English...
Probably a lot easier to use Pocket MSN.
If you try and create an Outlook account to hotmail from Mobile 5 onwards it will probably start Pocket MSM anyway.
you can go to hotmail's website, look for the perferences requires to setup your mail account.. and then go to Messaging/Menu/Options and click New Account
insert all email account properties.. and voila.
On my phone that would not work. (Qtek 9100 WM5.0(Wizard))
As soon as you create an account of the form [email protected], the New Account wizard is cancelled and you are dumped into Pocket MSN whether you like it or not.

I think "nir36" means to go with your PC on Option page of your hotmail account...and than select the option to redirect all received mail to a NEW account!!
Am i right??
If so...i'd like to use my actual address, but if there's no way...
...i'll use Pocket MSN
Thank you guys!!
How to get Hotmail on your Windows Mobile phone
The easiest way (if you want over-the-air sync, data charges apply of course) is to use Windows Live Mobile:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334621
Install the cab, run the program and enter your hotmail address and your password. you can then choose whether you want to sync your address book and/or your emails to the phone.
Your Hotmail account appears within Pocket Outlook as a separate account.
After the first sync, you can then set up your emails to be pushed to the phone, sync'd at regular intervals, or only when you initiate it.

wow, this is a real complete application, i'm playing with it now and i'ts ok!!
the wizard is simple and everithing works; it creates a "Windows Live" account under the Outlook one in the ppc!!
Thank you!!
You're welcome!
Sadly, Windows Live Mobile still doesn't allow task and calendar sync with Windows Live Calendar.
So, if you want to go a step further and cut your ties with the PC and abandon ActiveSync altogether, I'd suggest you use Google Calendar for that function instead.
Web (Google Calendar) to phone (Pocket Outlook) two-way sync can be achieved via Google Mobile Sync which uses Exchange, and can run in parallel with Windows Live Mobile.
For PC (Outlook Calendar) to web (Google Calendar) two-way sync, just use Google Calendar Sync.
Voila! No need to dock your phone to your PC for PIM synchronization.
i assumed you have WM6..
A related question, I used to sync my hotmail account using pocket outlook, but here is what I actually wanted:
1. I want to download the mails as usual, but do NOT want them to be deleted from the server when I delete them from the device, is there anyway to do it (I am using WM 6.1 Pro and my hotmail account is non premium).
Thanks
Hey guys,
I'm on Windows phone temporarily while my HTC OneX is being fixed.
I'm having a frustrating problem with my email on a Nokia Lumia 610.
Using a POP account the windows phone downloads my emails without any problems. But, once I download the same emails on my PC, the windows Phone decides to remove(from the phone) the same emails rather than leaving copies like both Ios & Android. This is highly frustrating when forwarding Airline tickets or schedules you want to save for later reference. Today I missed a bus because of it. Thanks Microsoft
Anyone know how to fix it? The email settings seemed too dumbed down to be of any use.
Cheers.
First suggestion would be to use an email protocol that is merely old, instead of completely obsolete. POP3 is from the 80s, and it shows. Does your provider seriously not offer IMAP access? There are plenty of perfectly good and free emails providers which do... Some of them will even pull email from other inboxes for you.
Second suggestion, if you absolutely must use POP3, would be to make sure that both the phone and PC are configured to "Leave a copy of messages on the server" when downloading. My best guess as to what's happening is that your PC is configured to download and remove the messages from the server. Then, when your phone syncs with the server again, it sees that the messages it had previously downloaded were deleted from the server, so it deletes the local copies as well.
That's exactly what is happing. I just think its the wrong way. Even my old Nokia dumbphone from 5 years ago left copies of downloaded emails on the phone. As does the Iphone & Android.
Thanks for the help anyway. I don't think Imap is an option.
Gmail, as one example, supports IMAP (for free) and I believe it can retrieve mail from a POP3 server for you too (although I haven't tried). Alternatively, you may be able to set up your POP3 account to forward mail to a Gmail account. IMAP really is just a superior protocol.
Is there some reason you're not keeping the messages on the server after download? I guess I can see why you'd prefer that the phone not remove messages that were removed from the server, but given how little synchronization is possible in POP3 anyhow, I actually think that behavior is better than nothing (although perhaps it should be configurable and for some reason isn't).
I was able to switch to IMAP, but my WP is still deleting the mails after the PC downloads them. UGH.
If I let my PC email client leave the messages on the server, it will constantly re download them. (I think).
I'm sure this is a WP problem/oversight as multiple other devices work correctly.
If your PC email client constantly re-downloads message that it itself has chosen to leave on the server, you're using a truly outrageously bad email client! Even with POP3, it's quite possible for a client to list the messages on the server, and then only download the ones it doens't have. This is how all major email clients work (Outlook, Windows [Live] Mail, Thunderbird, Apple's Mail app, the WP7 email client, etc.) Even better, though, would be to also use IMAP on the PC client, as that way you could truly keep things in sync between the phone and the PC (for example, if you read a message on the phone, it would be makred as read on the PC when you got home, and if you send a message on the PC at home, it would be visible in the Sent Items folder on the phone too).
