when I try and setup my exchange email in the email messaging client (the default MS) i enter the server address for owa
email / outlook
https://123.123.123.123/exchange/
but when i hit next it drops the https:// and the /exchange/ and just leaves it 123.123.123.123, causing a sync error.
Any ideas?
Hmm, I had no probelm.
Maybe an easier way of doing it would be to sync the phone with a pc that has outlook open - it automatically sets it all up for you (or it did for me the last time I did it...)
That is correct behavior. Note the check box for SSL below the server address field. So if ssl is used, check the box and input just the domain information (123.123.123.123). You only need the fully qualified domain (or ip address) and it will not accept subdirectories (/exchange), that's only for OWA.

I have tried setting up the wm6.1 pocket outlook to fetch emails from out Zimbra email server (Zimbra Mobile provides an Exchange interface compatible with pocket outlook). It works: POutlook fetches the email headers and notifices me. So far so good.
The problem arises when I want to read the full email. I can find no possible way in Pocket Outlook that allows me to fetch the full email. In the menu I found "Fetch Message" but it was grayed (which I found odd as only the header was fetched).
Does anyone know anything about this issue/problem?
It seems this problem only occurs if POutlook is configured to fetch only email headers. If it is configured to fetch part of the email body as well, a "Download the rest of this email" button is inserted at the bottom of the email body which when clicked, will in fact download the rest of the email. Why M$ decided that this buttom wasn't necessary when nothing of the email body was fetched I cannot grasp.
So the solution is to have POutlook always download part of the email body and you get the option to download the rest. Otherwise you have to use IMAP or POP3 instead.
HTC Fuze with EnergyROM 24.Dec.2009 WWE WM6.5 build 21885.5.0.95.
After upgrading from the stock AT&T WM6.1 ROM to a stable EnergyROM, I configured my corporate Exchange email account. Sync works fine. But when creating a new message in Outlook Mobile, the "from" address is incorrect. My address should be [email protected]. Instead, it shows [email protected]. See screenshot (oldcompany name redacted). I examined my Active Directory record through Outlook 2007 GAL. It includes eight SMTP addresses that have been used over the past 15 years, through an acquisition and eventual migration from Notes. This d244d55 address is not the first listed, but is coincidentally the first alphabetically.
I sent a test message to various other email accounts and the "from" shows properly, so the Exchange server must be substituting my correct email address. But this is annoying and I would like to fix it. I cannot find any way to configure the "from" address for my Exchange connection configured through ActiveSync. I searched the registry and the only place dd244d55 appears follows. I deleted the dd244d55 address from this value, soft-reset, but still no joy. I did confirm that dd244d55 is no longer in the registry.
Key: HKCU\Software\Microsoft\ActiveSync\Partners\<GUID>
Value: Email Address
Data: [list of SMTP addresses separated by semicolons]
How do I fix this? Consider directing me to a better forum since this is certainly not Raphael specific. Unfortunately searching for resolution is handicapped because the word "from" is overused. Thanks for your assistance.
Assuming you deleted and recreated the Activesync relationship and wiped the phone:
This could be a time-consuming war that ends up to be impossibile to fix. Don't let it turn into a crusade! Just from an "eff it" standpoint, which I usually take:
Kill ALL the garbage addresses. Everything that isn't necessary.
What's the worst that can happen? I obviously don't know who you are and what possible types of emails could be sent to any of your 15 years worth of addresses. If no one is going to die, the simplest solution is often the correct and best solution. I'm sure you spent enough time on this already.
Kill ALL the garbage addresses.

I assume you mean to delete the addresses from my Active Directory entry and then delete/recreate the ActiveSync partnership with Exchange. I was thinking along the same lines. I don't need any of the extra addresses but they might be there to support non-repudiation of historical approval records in corporate information systems. I don't have permissions to do modify AD myself but I will ask our IT support folks to do so.
I am sure this problem has been encountered before but don't know where to seek assistance. Having multiple SMTP addresses in an AD record is not unusual. I bet there is an easy way to specify the correct address for the ActiveSync partnership "from" email.
Success. My "from" address is now correct when creating new emails. My corporate IT support deleted a bunch of SMTP addresses from my AD entry. I can't see exactly which ones are left because AD changes take a while to propagate through to the cached Outlook address book. I deleted/recreated the ActiveSync partnership and the "from" email shows correctly now.
One other difference: The first time I specified my email address and password and let WM autoconfigure the connection. It ended up using my email address as the username and left the domain blank. This time I disabled autoconfiguration and manually specified the server name and my credentials (username/domain). This probably had nothing to do with the problem because both formats are valid AD credentials.
Hi, I'm a noob. I have a work email that I think uses exchange (it's a big corporation and we have outlook/entourage in the offices). I can also access my email from anywhere via https://webmail.*****.com/
I can't figure out how to sync my mail app with that email. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Try the "Exchange by TouchDown", I'm sure will help
Are you using the default Froyo Email app? or something else?
your username/password combo should be your normal login credentials to login to the webmail service. If your company requires you to append the domain to the user name then it will look like this: domain\username
The server address will be the url of the webmail service for OWA. You may need to also allow all SSL connections for this to work properly.
Hope that helps.
there also is a chance that your company has not provisioned you for Exchange ActiveSync. If none of the above work, give your IT department a call and verify that youre mailbox is enabled for EAS
in the default htc app choose for exchange and put these exactly like underneath
e-mail adres [email protected]
server adres webmail.*****.com
password the password you use to log in to webmail
yes, your server requires an encrypted ssl connection
No domain name is required!!!
Hm. I tried everything above and still cant get it to work. Will talk to IT, thanks guys!
Hoping someone can help with this..
I'm using:
Server: webmail.company.com
Login: domain\user (not same as email)
Email: [email protected]
SSL (checked)
Accept all SSL (checked)
This has always worked in the past but recently stopped. When setting this up now I get an error: "You typed an incorrect server address or the server requires a protocol version that Email doesn't support".
Using all these settings in K9 mail I get a similar error. With K9 mail however I have the option to add a "Mailbox Alias". When I add [email protected] into the Mailbox Alias field it works.
Ideally I'd like to continue using the default Email app and Calendar but since there doesn't appear to be anyplace to add a Mailbox Alias in the default client I cannot. I am using that mailbox alias as the email address I enter when setting up the Email client.
It's not a company issued phone so there isn't much I can do as far as having changes made on the server. I believe they must have done an update or changed some setting, as there was an email that the OWA server was being restarted which preceded these problems.
I tried setting this up on an iPhone this evening. It didn't give the same error but rather just wouldn't connect to the same server. This previously worked as well as I had tried an iPhone briefly a few months ago.
It seems that no one else at work that collects email with their stock Android Email.apk is having any issues. I would assume at this point it is some kind of account problem, but I am using the same info as listed above in my work laptops Outlook client for collecting mail via https when not connected to VPN. I'm also using those settings on a Macbook in Entourage to connect to exchange, though I believe that uses webdav. Both of those clients continue to work, and as mentioned above, k9 works when adding my email address to the Mailbox Alias. I was also able to get TouchDown working though I'm not that interested in buying it.
If anyone has anything I'd love to hear it.
thanks!
This appears to be the issue that I'm having.

It seems to be an account/permissions related problem though I don't really understand why adding a mailbox alias with K9 resolves the problem, though the above OP mentions his worked with Touchdown when it wasn't working with default email.apk.
Hi Guys,
can anyone guide me to configure outlook for my business email. I know the Exchange server address, username password and all details. But whenever i try to configure, its not happening.
i have my office mail configured in my office laptop. That laptop is in the particular domain. So its working fine. Its that has to do something ?
i read some threads saying we need to install a certificate in the mobile in order to access secure business email. Can anyone list me which certificate to install and how to get that.
Thanks for your time.

I think Business Outlook installs the certificate on it's own with the password lock etc and enforces the security policies.
My business outlook is set with following details:
Username - the one I use to log in
Password - the one I use for my username
Email ID - the business email address
Domain - your business domain that is generally a prefix to your username i.e. domain/username
Server address: if domain/username can't automatically find it. (mostly it does!)
That's it! It took Outlook literally 2 seconds on 3g network to find the server and start pulling my calendar, emails and contacts.
