Can anyone tell me how to access the company directory. I have Mfe connecting and syncing to our Exchange 2003 server no problem but when pressing the "To" button in a new email I only get the contacts I already have on the phone with email addresses. I thought there was a button here to check the company directory going by other posts.

Other phones we have at work HTC, Nokia and Iphones can all search the company directory.

If I go in contacts and "Get contacts" when selecting "Import Mail Exch Contacts" the search box that appears doesn't search the company directory at all.

Can anyone help/point out where I am going wrong?

Yes. This is valid behavior.

Could you elaborate a little bit more here? This is exactly the place where search in GAL is initiated.

So there isn't a button to select search company directory when send a new email?? This maybe me misunderstanding how Mfe is meant to function here. The reason I say this is in this link

http://maemo.org/community/brainstor...ectory_on_mfe/

It says in the link there are 2 tabs when clicking the "To" button - is what is said in the link wrong??


With Import Mail Exch Contacts
If i search for example my managers name, the company directory is not searched, after about 3-5 seconds the search box disappears and returns me to the Contacts list of the phone.

Thanks for your help

Google isn't Exchange 2003, and still not supported. Some people are lucky and get it working, others don't.

Please add following features

* Selective Folder Sync (let us select which folders to sync!)
* Mail Move to another folder
* Ability to delete a mail after pressing the "Yellow" notification - that is grayed out. You have manually enter Mail/Inbox to delete unwanted mail..

I tried Company Directory, and it worked for me. The procedure is a bit clunky, as you need to do the following in order to call a contact in the company directory:

1. Select Contacts
2. Select All Contacts menu
3. Select Import contacts
4. Select Import Mail for Exchange contacts
5. Enter name
6. Select Search
7. Select desired name
8. Select Import
9. Search the just imported name from all contacts
10. Select the just imported contact
11. Select the phone number you want to call

There are 11 steps and you have to search the name two times, first in the Company Directory and after you have imported the name, it has to be searched again from the phone contacts. The process could be streamlined, i.e if you import just one contact, after importing you should go directly to that contact's details, which would remove 2 steps.

For selective folder sync, install mfefolders - it enables you to select which folders for MfE to sync. And mail deletion is related to modest (or tinymail) rather than MfE - see https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5417 (fixed in PR1.2 apparently).

Yeah, that's the way I have been trying but after "6. Select Search" the "Searching Contacts" appears but then just returns to the list of contacts on my phone, no error message, no return on the name I have searched for. Synching email, calendar, tasks working fine etc just the contacts importing thats not. I don't know what the problem is

Our GAL has over 15000 contacts and I do have a lot of contact with a large portion of them over the course of a week. I know this is a feature change rather than a bug but I don't really want to import all of them individually. Maybe one on my wish list for the next update.

Thanks for your help on this.

No. I am trying to advocate this idea (having this level of integration into the mail client) in front of modest developers currently.

The reason I say this is in this link

http://maemo.org/community/brainstor...ectory_on_mfe/
This is something I have never seen before. Anyway, GAL is now accessible only using the mechanism I have described before.

It says in the link there are 2 tabs when clicking the "To" button - is what is said in the link wrong??
Yes. It is wrong. I think it was the idea of somebody. And I am telling to you how GAL support is implemented in PR1.1: http://wiki.maemo.org/Mail_For_Excha..._.28GAL.29_.3F

Could you take the logs and share them either here or through bugzilla?

Could you explain a use case a little bit more?

What is this "corporate packet data connection" exactly?
