Exchange Email Setup Problems

[Jaytee716]

I'm having the same problem too....well had. What I did was to remove the @mycompany.com from my username when I set up the exchange settings.

So, for username I put in:
mail\firstname.lastname

My server domain is mail and my email address that I use to log into webmail is my full email address. I tried dropping the @mycompany.com and it has been working for a couple days now.

Just thought I share.

I am getting exchange emails immediately on my iPhone when on wifi, but it won't connect to the server when on 3g or edge. I don't have the enterprise data plan. Does that have anything to do with it? Is anyone else having this problem?

Username (this is where things get a little confusing): normally in the form of domainname\username where username is similar to the first part of your e-mail address
Password: self-explanatory
Description: free text for you to describe the service (Work E-mail for example)
Use SSL: yes or no depending on whether you can or not - usually yes

I have it all set up on Windows Mobile and have tried it on my iPhone and it all works but I have all the settings to hand.

If you want to verify it, try the free service from Mail2web.com for a play around to see how it all works....

I finally got all of my problems solved. I finally got the right settings, but even then there were several birthday and anniversary appointments that were created before I was with my current hosting service, so I had to go in and manually recreate those and delete the old ones. A pain in the butt, but a success, now.

Glad you're sorted! :-)

Me too. I can't believe that was it. I've been with 2 isp's and 2 different hosting companies with WinMobile phones and those birthdays have been on my Outlook for years. This was never a problem till now, but hopefully now it won't ever be a problem again.

Shouldn't think so! :-)

I use 2 different Exchange server sources for different devices and keep them in sync using outlook on the desktop. If ever one of the server's is down I can switch to the other....
