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?
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
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......
