With activesync it seems to have an option box to sync to the server or from the server. Is it possible to do both ways? Or get something that will change the direction...i.e if the xda is in the cradle it syncs from the server if not it will sync to the server?
Any comments or ideas welcome
thanks
Simon
For exchange server, it sync both ways. If you got update from ur PDA it will update ur exchange server, and if ur exchange server is more updated it will update ur pda.
The settings are for those cases where the same contact has changed on both server and pda since last sync.

you cannot sync with your outlook and with an exchange server at the same time. Although active sync proxies the server sync through the cradle/activesync to the server. This way you can connect with the same profile on the road via GPRS as you can on your desk.
The exchange server sync only applies to contacts, agenda and email. the rest can only be synced through activesync.

Soon with Exchange Server service pack 3, Tasks will be included too.
For now, and for syncing multiple folders, (including Public Folders), http://www.odysseyinc.com/Software/On-Schedule/FRAMESET_Remote_ROSSync_index.htm
Anyone got any recommendations for push email providers. Or just names to compare.
So far I have tried:
4smartphone.net - good service but not cheap
mail2web.com - good and cheap
any other recommendations ?

From what I've gathered so far, go with one of those two.
or register your own domain and build your own exchange server, works fine

Just like that?
If you would like to have direct push mail from Microsoft on your Universal, it can be done with MS Exchange server SP2
having Echange SP2 on your own (Hosted) server, and building your own certificate on this server (domain) which you later can import on your Universal, you can use Direct Push mail (Https) fron the Universal to your Echange server.
I'm using it,..and the mobile active sync is constantly keeping the GPRS HTTPS connection allive and is syncronising constantly my inbox (agenda, contacts, email and tasks) Not the same as blackberry, but only several seconds delay (depends on gprs network, umts will be faster)
Download the latest rom with the AKU2 feature pack from MS build in, install it on your device and you can use the Direct Push function

Yes yes, I know all this... but you can get exactly the same thing for four pounds a month with 4smartphone.net and they take care of 90% of the hassle for you. Setting up an exchange server is beyond 95% of people with handhelds. And even then, I may be being charitable.
Even downloading a dodgy copy of Exchange via bittorrent is more hassle than getting 4smartphone.net to host it for you.

I would rather look for a personal assistant at the cost of your solution
haha,....sorry. Im a system engineer.
I've been using mail2web with my XDA Exec for the last few days and it works really well. Pretty good for a free service!
Been using 4smartphone.net trial for a few days now... My Exec's mail keeps de-syncing with the Exchange server.
I figured that if I MOVE emails between folders a lot, I start getting ActiveSync problems with error code 0x80070008 and I can't sync anymore. After a soft reset, I can sync again, but the folders on my Exec are now out of sync with folders on the Exchange server. i.e. some mails that were moved are now in Inbox of Exchange, whereas they have been moved to another mail folder on my Exec.
Seems too unreliable for me :|
My take on 4smartphone.net is that its a bit more professional then mail2web. It also ensures that emails sent are stamped with the email address you want to use (i.e. the one fwded/pop3ed to 4smartphone).
mail2web is a little more DIY, however the FAQ is good.
Ultimately I have opted to use mail2web as its only $1.99 a month vs $3.99 a month for 4smartphone (also have to keep up my IGN subscription

I found 4smartphone.net quite reliable.
did you setup manually - ? I did, maybe the autosetup has an issue.
are you syncing over wifi ? this has to be done manually
have 4smartphone.net given any reason why folder moving should case a trouble ?

I haven't actually contacted them yet... I've been googling 0x80070008 and found it to be memory related issues on the device. I'm thinking memory leak leading to lack of memory on my device -> ActiveSync dies.
yeah, could be too many things running as well.
I haven't rebooted for 2 weeks now (since the new O2 update) - famous last words !
what is that aku2 thing and can I use push mail on WM2003se? thnx
no. u can use activesync over a GPRS/3G with wm 2003se. look at mail2web.com FAQs.
however this is not push, its periodic activesync.
push email is where your device gets email as soon as its delivered.
this means that you get the email straight away. the technical difference is that push (in WM5) is server driven and not device driven.
I presume you don't have a universal as they are all WM5.

I have a question: does this mean that you don't pay for the data required to send the e-mail to your device? The one thing that's held me back from diving into push e-mail so far is the worry of going over my data limit (5mb/month on O2 - I can't afford any extra...) and paying too much on my contract.
If MMS messages are free to receive, is it the same for push e-mail messages because the server is initiating the connection? Or do we still have to pay? If you could answer this for me I'd really appreciate it, so thanks in advance
Mach
You'd still have to pay.
thanks for answer colonel. I will look at mail2web.com.
I just switched to the Cingular 8525 from a Nokia E61.
On the Nokia, I had mail for Exchange set up and it was working perfectly with my office Exchange server, syncing up email, calendar, contacts, etc.
I set up Activesync on the 8525 using the same server settings and certificate as on the Nokia but I can't get the device to sync.
I am now getting an error telling me that I have an incorrect SSL certificate common name in the Host Name field.
I had not received this error with the E-61.
make sure you have the latest activesync
I have 4.2
Greetings,
I recently upgraded my HTC 3300/Artemis to WM6. Since then, I have failed to syncronize my device with my company's Outlook Exchange Server 2003!
The device works normally and tells me that sync is fine, however, it is not bringing any emails nor is it sending any! the items I'm trying to send are staying in the outbox!
Any clues?
I am new to synching with Windows Mobile 6 on my T-Mobile Wing, was hoping there was a solution out there for the problem I'm up against. Here is the layout of what I have :
- a T-mobile Wing with WM6 and ActiveSync
- a Windows Vista computer with Microsoft Outlook 2007 and WMDC
- a Microsoft Exchange account for work with OWA
I sync everything on the Wing and Vista/Outlook 2007 setup effortlessly with either USB or Bluetooth, that's not a problem. Currently I sync emails only from the Exchange account using Outlook Web Access through ActiveSync on the Wing. What I would really like to do is to be able to sync the calendar/tasks from my Exchange account to the Wing, but to PREVENT writing my personal appointments/reminders/tasks from Outlook up to my Exchange account. I don't think my company needs to know when I'm mowing the lawn or taking my kids to the dentist....however, I really value having that personal stuff synched up on both the Wing and Vista/Outlook. Is such one-way synching even possible? Is there another program out there besides ActiveSync that can do this? I have seen some descriptions on the web of how to make an older version of ActiveSync perform this way, but the version that I have never seemed to have the right options or tabs available.
So to sum up, the dilemma is, I'd like to sync my Exchange calendar/tasks to my Wing, but not have any calendar/task items from the Wing or the Vista PC make it back to the Exchange server. If more information is needed, I will be happy to provide any details that I can.
Thanks, great forum.
