Hi,
The problem is following:
The policy in our company is to allow to use ActiveSync client only on devies like
iPhone
BlackBerry
When i opened request to get access to my mails using my phone. i configured on my Nexus One everything and i got access to my mails. The system administrator very fast found out that i access to my mails using Android device and closed to me activesync on exchange server.
Is there a way to simulate device and OS of iPhone or blackberry that sysadmin will not know that anyway i use Android device to read my mails...? Workarounds?
I use this activesync client:
Exchange for Android 2.x
NitroDesk, Inc.

Hi.
I am wondering if I can sync public folders and GAL (Global adress list)
with Windows Mobile
I am connected to Exchange 2003 over the air.
For the moment I am using Mobile 2003 but I will upgrade to Mobile 5 or 6 so is any version able to do what I want?
I would also like to sync with 2 exchange servers is that possible.
Unfortunately, it is impossible to use Public Folders OTA, as far as I know it is also impossible to sync more than one Exchange server at a time using the default ActiveSync client. However, I believe in the Hermes forum there is a client to sync with more than one EAS account, but I'm not sure if it is compatible with other devices.
I see from another posting in the diamond forum that people have managed to get BB Connect running on the diamond.
At the moment I use system7 on my nokia n95 to get email pushed from my work exchange server, however everyone else in the office has a blackberry (I didn't want one of these hence my finding an alternative solution).
does anyone have any experience of the direct push technology offered with windows mobile 6?
I might use the bbconnect application (if I can get it working) as it appears to do everything I want it to, but I just thought that if there's already an app in WM that does the trick, I might as well stick with that.
You say you have exchange at work?
The push email system will work just nicely with it, you might have to get onto your network admin and see if they offer activesync connection to it but its very likely they do. You sync your email, contacts, tasks and calender with it...works a treat.
I currently use DenaiL's service on here and it works very nicely...you should be up and running pretty swiftly if ur network admin confirms you can use it.
EDIT: Activesync is built into EVERY ROM in windows mobile and this is the primary way to sync the device over the air (via GPRS/HSDPA or wifi to get push email) or via USB.
we have exchange server at work, but I doubt they'll let me add any software (activesync) to it.
Exchange already has the software needed in it, its a native function of exchange to allow a windows mobile device to sync with it.
EAS is a native part of exchange, but it is turned off by default i think.
I know my place have it turned off, despite all the company mobile supporting EAS, and all the employees using HTC devices that natively support it.
Go figure.
I think they want to save a couple of hundred of quid on a certificate, and spend thousands of pounds on corporate intellisync licenses instead.
so my company would have to invest in a new license to enable EAS?
I'm pretty sure they would have to buy a license to allow me to use BBConnect too? I know that we are running 5 or 6 BBs in the company, each one requiring a license....or have I been misled?
thanks, I really want to ensure that my push email will work perfectly on the device when I get it.
I dont own a HTC Touch Diamond or a Touch Pro. I own a HTC Touch and use Hosted Exchange as my primary email service provider. I use the direct-push technology in WM6 and sync with my exchange account. It works like a charm and I have yet to experience any problems with it. I get my email on my Touch within 10 seconds of receiving the email in my inbox.
Memory fades about Exchange 2003, however, I *think* Exchange direct-push is enabled by default on Exchange 2007. Someone please correct me if I am wrong.
Exchange 2003 w/ SP2 automatically enabled Direct-Push. Same w/ all flavors of 2007. With Exchange 2007, admins DO need to enable Active Sync, but they can do it on a user by user basis if they want to. It shouldn't be a big deal for your IT admins to turn it on for you. Hope this helps.
excellent, thanks for the replies. We are running 2003 SP2, so hopefully in a few days time I might have proper push email. the app I'm currently running (system7) is totally crap at the moment..had nothing pushed for nearly a week!!
Hello,
currently, my mobile network provider (giffgaff) do not support BIS/BES, so no bbm for me, so, would it be possible, to install windows server 2003 on my old pc connected to the internet, then install and exchange server, then install BES onto that, and get bbm that way?, would that actually work, or do i have to pay BB to use it, or anything, thanks for you help
Bump......
Hi!
A strange thing I really can't explain.
Our corporate firewall blocks gmail imap/smtp ports ( 993, 587, ... ) to force users to use the webmail only.
Infact, outlook, thunderbirds, telnet, and so on cannot contact pop.gmail.com:993 and smtp.gmail.com:587.
BUT via the same corporate wifi:
blackberry using stock bb client -> can read/send email
android using stock gmail client -> can read/send email
ipad2 using stock apple client -> can read but cannot send email
I'm one of the lucky android users but I wonder how can the gmail client connect to mother google if ports are blocked?!
Thanks,
Luca.
It may be a security restriction applied to the PC rather than firewall.

It could be but it isn't.
There is no security to the pc, there is only a firewall.
Ten minutes ago I did a test on my android.
I configured my gmail account on the plain email app using pop.gmail.com:993 and smtp.gmail.com:587 and it works via mobile data.
Then I switched off mobile data and corporate wifi on.
plain email app: can't send/receive (cannot contact server) as expected
gmail app : can send/receive.

The native Gmail app uses Google API over HTTP and thus is firewall proof.
iCloud uses a combination of HTTP and other ports hence you can partially read some messages.
Any other 3rd party client will use the regular ports for those protocols and won't work behind a restrictive firewall.
I currently read email via imap from a government computer system. They are about to send a memo that Android devices are no longer allowed to connect with imap to these servers and will have to use a browser based email portal. Apparently Windows and Apple devices are OK, though.
My question to the general masses is this. Is it possible somewhere on my phone to set how the imap client presents itself and inject that this is, for example, an iPhone? Or would that have to be at the application level? I am currently using K9 mail and it works great.
I am running the Dark Knight ICS rom (version 3 - android 4.0.4) on a Samsung Captivate, btw.
Thanks and I hate the thought of using a browser to read emails!
