Re: configuring Mail for Exchange
 

It should be possible, yes (assuming the webmail server is also providing MfE access, which is generally the case). Use the "Mail for Exchange" section in the Settings app, and fill in the data - if you have any specific problems while doing that then just ask, and hopefully someone will be able to help.

Just a couple of issues to look out for though. MfE on the N900 doesn't support provisioning so you'll need to make sure that your Exchange system is configured to allow non-provisionable devices. The other potential issue is with the SSL certificate on the server - the N900 can only import CA certificates, so any certificate used for MfE has to be either a CA certificate or signed by a CA certificate (self-signed certificates do not usually have the necessary CA flag set).

I am unable to get past the second screen where i have to input my server name and select a port number.

This use to work on E2003 but has not worked since a recent rebuild and domain change.

not sure why?

default server addr is myserver.domain.org/Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync

I have been told I have to turn of cal syn for it to work! problem is I have no active profile and am unable to complete this profile/setup as it fails and deletes once unsuccesfull.

any help would be very welcome?

Re: configuring Mail for Exchange
 

You are just putting myserver.domain.org as the server name? The Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync part will get added within the MfE code.

ahhh at last! thanks you very much! thats not obvious! buy hey!

Re: configuring Mail for Exchange
 

Another thing to look into is that if you have multiple devices connected through Exchange you might need to go and delete some of them on the server and then try to sync your new device. I had to many going on and it did not take it until I got rid of the inactive ones.

On another note does anyone know if there is a way to move messages to folders. It was not available on my E90 on MFE it bacame possible on the E75 but now again it is gone.

I cannot get through the second screen, i am typing in the owa address in place of the server address and port 80 (no https)

any tips?

Re: configuring Mail for Exchange
 

Make sure you're just entering the server name (no "http://", no trailing path). What error do you actually get?

Re: configuring Mail for Exchange
 

I just got mine to work, sort-of. The email part is working, but the calendar and contacts do not sync. I've read that there are some issues with those. No biggie, and the emails are the most important for me and I can sync the calendar with my workstation a couple times a week if needed.
I put my server name in owa.server.com (server is your server name)
Port is 443
Secure connection
Then I use my username and password for my domain, and put my domain name into the domain slot.

I tried with the calendar, and it did sync, but it always errored out when it reached the end of the sync task. I had to disable the calendar/task and contacts to get through the initial sync.

Re: configuring Mail for Exchange
 

I'm having the same problem with that screen. At my company, I was told I didn't need security, so I tried with port 80. It takes centuries and I get an error saying: the server does not respond, check configuration.
When trying with security and port 443, it quickly says you may need a secure connection or account is inactive.
I don't have a clue about certificates, but I can enter the owa webpage with microb without problems.
How can I fix this?
Thanks a lot for your help

Re: configuring Mail for Exchange
 

You can test whether the certificates are an issue by running the tests detailed here. The other possible issue is that your company has not allowed access to non-provisionable devices (see http://wiki.maemo.org/Mail_For_Excha...Q#Provisioning)

Re: configuring Mail for Exchange
 

Is there a way we can add signature for the reply messages? Did anyone figure that out. Like : "Sent from Nokia N900" or something like that. :D

Re: configuring Mail for Exchange
 

You can set the signature in the MfE settings.

Re: configuring Mail for Exchange
 

MFE means?

Re: configuring Mail for Exchange
 

Mail for Exchange

Re: configuring Mail for Exchange
 

I have my gmail and my hotmail set up in in my phone. So, I don't see anything to edit my signature in the setting tab. Please tell me where to look, specifically.

Thanks.

Re: configuring Mail for Exchange
 

If you open the Settings app and select the "Mail for Exchange" option, you can set up a signature.

Re: configuring Mail for Exchange
 

Its asking for Domain and server and all that info? I already have my email account synchronized. Please help me step my step.

Thanks

Re: configuring Mail for Exchange
 

If you are trying to setup gmail then use SERVER: m.google.com and leave the domain empty, in the username field give email id @gmail.com

Thanks, for your help dude. What do I put for the Hotmail account?:confused:

Re: configuring Mail for Exchange
 

It synced in first time then it doesnt sync anymore. I says 'Server Error', after I changed to sync my 1 month of old mails. What I doing wrong here. :S

Re: configuring Mail for Exchange
 

This is the error it shows:


BusyBox v1.10.2 (Debian 3:1.10.2.legal-1osso26+0m5) built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

Re: configuring Mail for Exchange
 

Are you actually using "Mail for Exchange" with your gmail account? It doesn't sound like it, and if not then you're in the wrong thread.

And you're definitely in the wrong thread for Hotmail.

Re: configuring Mail for Exchange
 

Syncing with Google Mail is not officially supported (as it doesn't use a standard MfE protocol).

Re: configuring Mail for Exchange
 

If it synced once then this has nothing to do with it.

Re: configuring Mail for Exchange
 

Ok, so I can't make any use of Gmail with MfE? :( But I could sync my 3 days old mail with MfE from my Gmail account but when I try to sync all my emails or 2 weeks old emails, the error message pops out. :confused:

Can you please shoot me the link where I can dig for syncing my Hotmail?:)

Thanks

Re: configuring Mail for Exchange
 

Well, you can try but you're pretty much on your own with any errors that come up. Some people have it working fine, others have issues.

I don't know - try clicking the "Power Search" button at the top of the menu on the right and entering "Hotmail". If there's nothing that seems relevant, start a new thread.
