Hi
Can sombody let me know how i can get email direct from my exchange server please?
i have an exchange 2003 server at work with OWA and want to recieve emails on the go from it?
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.
I've searched and googled the hell out of this and still haven't found and answer.
I use my Admin account to install programs and change settings. The limited account is where I do all my work. I can log onto my admin but I have none of the files I need.
When I try and log onto my limited account it says "local settings" prevent me from logging on. If I try and add my limited account it says this user is already allowed to log on. I cant change any "remote" options from the limited account. Where are these local settings that I'm supposed to change?
Remoting into a WinXP or Vista desktop must be done using an account authorized to do so. Admins are added to the Remote users group by default.
If you want to add your limited account to the auth users, first login to vista as an admin and add it.
To do this, go into control panel, and choose the System icon.
In there, goto remote access and add your limited account in as a remote user.
- you should be all set.
I have windows xp btw.... but I did all those steps. When I add my limited account to the "Users" it says "this user is already on the list"
Ok. Next question would be whether or not you have a password set on your user account. If not, set one.
edit - you sound like you know what you're doing and probably covered all the bases already, but if not, here's a pretty complete guide on getting it up and running: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/networking/expert/northrup_03may16.mspx
password....... check
edit:
thats the exact page I used to setup my remote desktop.
Hello guys,
Do you think you could help: I was trying to use astro SMB module - but no luck. What I did:
1. open ASTRO -> Network -> New -> Windows server
2. I entered following:
: Label: Transfer
: Server: 192.168.1.12 (also tried "windows name")
: Share: transfer
When I click "TEST" I get the message: "Server not found".
Details button opens message: "jcifs.smb.SmbAuthException: Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password
Server is Windows XP proff - and other PC's are connecting to the "share" without username/passwords (use simple file sharing).
I am trying to connect using my network's WiFi.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thank you
I have not figured how to use this module in a Windows environment either. One thing I noticed comparing it to the OP is that I do not have a ASTRO -> Network -> New -> Windows server option. Instead of Windows server I only see SFTP, SMB and Bluetooth options.
Is anyone using Astro to browse Windows shares?... If so, can you outline the steps you took to get it to work? Maybe this requires a Samba client in the Windows host? I'm using the latest version available in the Market using a Samsung Captivate.

Hi,
i've like you sftp and smb but it gives to me the same error than tazbo.
Can you tell me what is the right configuration?
SMB, you must enter the username and password of the account with which you log into the Windows machine. The IP address goes in the Server field. No need for a Domain unless you are on a corporate net with domain controller.
It works just perfectly for me, but the machines I connect to require that I log in (Windows login).
I've used this to connect to my Ubuntu file server in my house. While I didn't have to enter a username on the windows boxes that connect to the server, I did have to use "guest" as a username with an empty password field.
Good Luck!

Just wanted to throw a Thanks out there also.
I've been knocking my head against the wall trying to figure out this SMB thing and with the suggestion of using Guest I was finally able to connect to ALL of my shares from my phone.
So again, thanks
Please give a link of the module, i cant find it in the market

this is what must be done to use your regular xp user name and password -
1. open windows control panel
2. double click on administrative tools
3. double click on local security policy
4. hi-light security options
5. double click on network access:sharing and security model for local accounts
6. change to classic - local users authenticate as themselves
Thx a bunch, feinmark
I followed those steps you posted, but I still kept getting the same error
These are my setup
===========================================
Server: XXX.XX.XXX.XX (MY computer IP, not my router IP )
Label: Transfer
Share: 'Empty'
Domain: 'Empty'
Directory: 'Empty'
Username: 'my user name'
Passcode: 'Empty' b/c I do not have one for my comp
=============================================
This is the message I still get........
jcifs.smb.SmbException: Failed
to connect:
0.0.0.0<00>/XXX.XX.XXX.XX <- my computer IP
jcifs.util.transport.
TransportException
java.net.ConnectionException:

Can someone please help me :O.....
Disable windows firewall.
If you use win7, make sure your in your network as: 'HOME network' and not as 'PUBLIC'.
Thus fixed it for me..

I remember back in the days when internet was accessed at 33kbps speeds (sorry.. old skool guy here) we used to use ini files in our installation package to set customers' email, proxy etc settings. In Windows there even used to be a file type of "ISP settings" or something similar that you could only right click and install new settings.
Now I'm facing the same situation. Doing my own client I need a way to automatically set up remote Androids to use certain IMAP email server, CardDAV, CalDAV etc. Does there exist any format of file, MMS message or set of commands to do it?

I don't think so you should look into a MDM system for android, I think that your best chance honestly. or find an app or company that allow push settings for network admins.
I have a personal Honor 8 device I use to access my company email. They use Duo Mobile software to authenticate before allowing this.
After upgrading to Nougat 7.0, I am unable to access email (using the Outlook app). I get a message saying that I need full disk encryption turned on. I don't see this as an option anywhere in my Settings. I do have a strong password set to be used.
Do I need to enable File Based encryption at this stage? I am trying to do this and do not see the option to convert to File Based encryption even after turning on Developer Options by the way.
Has anybody else run into this issue? Any guidance - I am dead in the water without being able to access my email.
Thx
AK
I remember I had a problem with my e-mail but I'm not 100% certain that it was the same issue. But try to remove all your screen locks including finger print and try again.

Thanks for the response. However in order to enable Corporate Email, Outlook asks for a password to be in place. Therefore I cannot remove all screen locks.
The problem seems to be that the authenticating software (Duo Mobile) is looking for two things on the device. One is that full disk encryption is explicitly enabled. The other is that the setting to "Require password at Startup" is enabled. Neither of these options are availalble on the Honor 8. Their support says that encryption is on by default and therefore there is no setting for it.

Further, I looked at turning on the new File Based Encryption that is part of Nougat. There are how-to's that discuss this, where you have to turn on Developer Options to do so. However, on the Honor 8, even after turnin on Developer Options, there is no option to "Convert to File Based encryption" available. If you search in Settings, it shows this option, but upon clicking on that option from the Settings Search results, it just takes you into Developer Options and there is no setting to enable File Based encryption.
Nvm this, poor reading comprehension on my part
I have no issues using Gmail's Exchange client to connect to my corporate email. It sounds like it's not a Nougat or Android problem, it's a Duo Mobile problem
I had the same problem.
Switched to the app Nine. It is a one-time purchase and its security model is app-wide instead of device-wide.
Have you tried it yet?

The company whose email I need to get to has only enabled Outlook as a client - therefore using other email clients (such as the Gmail app) is not an option unfortunately.

To the best of my knowledge as long as you have the correct server credentials, you can use any client. For example, my credentials:
Server: subdomain.website.com
Domain\Username: test\Telperion
Port: 443
Security type: SSL/TLS
I can connect using Gmail's Exchange client, Outlook for Android, Nine, native Huawei email client, etc. While everyone's setup is different, if you're able to log in using the Outlook client, theoretically there's nothing to prevent you from using the same credentials in a different client.
That was my not my experience.
My company's Outlook server is configured to require device-level encryption for mobile devices with complex passwords. On my Nexus 6p, Outlook for Android did not work, with the error that it "did not support the encryption required". Also, I could not use fingerprint authentication on the device, and required a 8-digit unlock code. Not just for Outlook, mind you -- any time I wanted to unlock the phone.
OWA (Outlook Web App) for Android worked fine, but it supports neither push nor notifications, rendering it utterly useless. OWA is, as far as I can tell, just a shell containing an HTML rendering engine that reflows the web app.
The only reason CloudMagic (and potentially Nine) worked for me is that CloudMagic (and I think Nine) have device-level encryption on their server (?). The end-user provides credentials for their server to log in, download the email, and act as an intermediary.

When adding my corporate exchange email to Gmail, Gmail is activated as a device administrator with permissions to:
Erase all data
Set password rules
Monitor screen-unlock attempts
Lock the screen
Set lock-screen password expiration
Set storage encryption
Disable cameras
I'm not using webmail, I'm using Exchange ActiveSync. Device policy forces me to have a lock screen pin or password, but I can still fingerprint unlock it. It sounds as if your respective Exchange servers aren't configured properly, because all of the security that they're requiring can be mandated through ActiveSync and Gmail's device administration service.

Is Exchange ActiveSync different from Office 365's Exchange?
When I asked IT about local ActiveSync, they said that they don't support it, just Office 365 on Shibboleth.
Then again, I couldn't get a Chromebook to connect to the WiFi network here due to some misconfiguration in their Cisco router's PEAP setup, so I wouldn't be surprised.

Different back end, same capabilities. Exchange ActiveSync is a site-hosted server, Office 365 is a cloud-hosted version. On a local Exchange server, your IT department will have set up a local domain and you will have a user account in Active Directory (domain\Telperion). In Office 365, your user account is your email address ([email protected]) and there is no domain mapped that you have to configure. Once you know this, you can piece together the way to configure it.
The biggest challenge is that IT typically won't mess around with supporting mobile device configuration ("I don't know Android"), and Microsoft tutorials don't give clear instructions ("I don't know Android"). Android tutorials say "I don't know Microsoft" so you end up having to piece things together from multiple sources online.
See attached tutorial, it's very easy once you know what to do.
Add new account from device Accounts menu
Choose 'Exchange' with the Gmail logo
Enter your corporate email address, don't hit next, hit "Manual Setup"
Choose 'Exchange' as the account type
Make sure your email is entered in "domain\username" field
Enter password
Server for Office 365 is "outlook.office365.com"
Port 443
Set security to "SSL/TLS"
From there it should handle all the rest of the configuration.

Thanks. Tried Nine. Works the same way as Outlook so far. In other words, setting its policy to only apply to the app doesn't make a difference in how Duo Mobile (the two factor authentication checker) continues to insist the device be encrypted and have the setting "Require password on startup" be turned on.

Thanks for the detailed message. Tried the above.
When I left the server be the default server name (derived from my email address), I got a "Certificate is not valid" error. I had "None" as the certificate.
After I changed the server name to be outlook.office365.com as mentioned in your instructions above, I now get a "Can't connect to server" message.
I did recheck my steps. Not sure why Gmail fails to connect. Any suggestions on where to look?

I checked the settings for Outlook Web on my PC and it is an Office 365 account. I updated by Gmail settings to match (Server: outlook.office365.com, Port: 993 and Security: SSL/TLS although on the PC it was just TLS). Get a message saying "Couldn't open connection to server".
