Windows Live users know that they changed the format of Live's site and use the Outlook web app now. Before, I was using m.hotmail.com as an exchange server to access my school email, but it's no longer working. Does anyone have the new one?

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.
Hey guys, I searched this forum and pretty much everything on the net but couldn't find anything.
I have a WM6 smartphone with direct push access to our company exchange server. Works flawlessly, I get all my work emails right away on the handset.
But I was wondering, is there a XP or Mac client out there that could "pretend" it's a mobile device and give me my email on my private computer?
On top of that, I'm a Mac user. (Apple Mail has OWA Exchange supprt but it wouldn't let me in. I think it needs to tell the server it's a mobile device.)
Naturally, a Windows client would also do just fine.
The only settings known to me are: activesync server address, user, pwd, domain. The server is accessible from the internet (I know this because my smartphone can sync via any wifi hotspot too.) so that's no problem.
any ideas?
RPC over HTTP
Hey Greg,
do you have a certificate file from the exchange server ?
It could be that it's not really working because of the missing cert-file.
Maybe you need Entourage on your Mac, but i have read about, that it is not fully functional (but... i have no idea about it.... )
Or ask your IT stuff in the company if they are servering RPC over HTTPS.
RPC over HTTPS and Outlook this is imho the best solution to use your company mail at home.
Or maybe you can access the exchange via pop3 or imap if it is allowed in your company. But using RPCoHTTP is much better...
Cheers,
Peter
Thanks,
no there is no certificate. I can just enter my credentials into any phone fresh-out-of-the-box and it will work.
I'd like not to ask my IT staff because their standard answer to such questions is "not supported, don't do it".... I don't wanna hear that
Does anyone know the difference in connection protocols used to communicate with Exchange server? I have OWA and using the same URL and credentials as OWA does not work with my company's Exchange server. The only way I managed to connect and synchronise was using Touchdown and it was only able to connect using the Outlook 2003 protocol (not 2007, not Activesync).
Does anyone know what differentiates 2003 from 2007 and Activesync?
I want to configure native Exchange support on my Android (Legend) because Touchdown does not have very good integration with the device's native Address Book, Calendar, Mail, etc. I downloaded a settings/configuration file from Touchdown but the values appear to be hashed/encrypted.
Any help would be very much appreciated!
I've also noticed that the error messages I receive with native Exchange configuration are inconsistent
I've tried researching this and the only solution I found for checking my hotmail account, which just happens to be my #1 email account I use, is by either setting it up as an email account, which wouldn't work well for me because I use alot of folders, or by using it through the internet interface just by hyperlink, which doesn't work too well for me because of the size. Is Microsoft intentionally ignoring a huge market just because it's a competing OS or is there anything on the horizon about a hotmail/windows live mail app for Android coming down the pipe?
No idea about M$ intentions. Anyway, unless a service offers IMAP access, I would not touch it with 10ft pole, let alone use it as primary email. WLM uses MAPI crappy Exchange protocol, enough said.
Forward the mail to somewhere else where you can access it via IMAP.

You should be able to set it up as an exchange activesync account. It is fairly new and not widely known that you can do it that way. You will need to select corporate sync with manual setup. Use the following settings:
Username: full email address
Domain - leave blank
Server: m.hotmail.com
That should set it up with full push notifications and folder sync. It doesn't work on every android device but should on most.

At my home office i am running Microsoft outlook on a windows 7 system. Is there any app for Android that will enable me to connect to this outlook to see all my folders?
My outlook has tons of folders.. Like 6gig in size so it's way to large to store on my phone.

Outlook is your email client. What email system is Outlook connecting to? Is it POP3? Is it IMAP? Need more details.
You can try K-9 Mail. Currently have 5 accounts (work, hotmail, gmail, aol and yahoo configured) and it works great.

Except k9 eats cpu like candy.
Use Touchdown if you have an Exchange account.
I tie my nonexchange email to my gmail in the gmail settings (when logged into gmail with an internet browser), then my work email comes in using push IMAP through the gmail app.
There are options. I have tried a lot of email clients in Android, most of which I dont like much.

I don't think you guys are understanding what I'm looking for... I'm looking for a way to view ALL of preexisting Outlook Mail Folders from my Android phone? I have emails in Outlook Folders that are 5 years old, etc... I need to be able to view all of these folders.
K9 mail is just a mail client to get new mail, etc. I need to be able to view all my old email in Outlook Folders
what you want is an app that will grant you access to your PC's desktop anywhere:
here's one, but it's $25... there might be some other free ones out there, but haven't tried them... I know the amazon app stored offered a free one not too long ago...

Here is the comparison. Quote:
"They are both good.
There is a fundamental difference between the two in how they allow access.
Teamviewer requires the passing of a passcode from the party being accessed to the party wanting to gain access.
Logmein is setup such that the the remote party wanting to gain access can simply log in to another party's pc (logmein has to be installed on that pc). The party who's machine is being accessed doesn't even have to be there.
Therefore I would use Logmein if I wanted to leave my machine running, but access it from a remote location.
I use Teamviewer to provide online support to others that don't want to have a program like Logmein sitting on their machine allowing me to log in any time.
I also use Logmein on my Outlaws pc, so I can simply take over their pc when they are having problems finding their email etc. "
Also teamview is free and LogMeIn is paid. Hope this help.

I use touchdown for my exchange account to view all folders. I use pocketcloud to remote to my PC if I need to see other peoples calendars and folders.

I think Hindle1225's solution is the best since your folders are too big to sync over to your phone. By using a outlook app to sync only inbox,contact,calendar,notes and other "light weight" folders and if you want to see your 6gb folder, then you can use remote desktop software to view it through your desktop. Here are all software for exchange in comparison, go to syncdroid.net
Happy hunting...
Try Teamviewer. As indicated, it is free. I use it every day for server and desktop support. Works great on the phone but remember how small your phone is compared to your pc. The resulting image is very small and you'll be swiping quite a bit. Phone use is fine for restarting a service without getting out of bed. Much more and it's over to the laptop for me. You'll need to try it for yourself. It works and it's free. Even has a built-in VPN.

OWA Android App (QOWA) Quick Outlook Web Access
Hi all - My organization locked down our outlook email so I tried every OWA Android app out there and none worked for me. They all required something open on the server end such as exchange web services or WebDav. There was no way to get my android to work with my email except the browser, but the logout was every minute, requiring a retype of my username/password. If you ever used OWA you know what I'm talking about.
This QOWA is still using the native web interface so it should work with ALL OWA email addresses. This works very friendly with the touch environment.
This works for Microsoft Outlook exchange 2003, 2007, and 2010.
