Exchange Server option not in Excalibur_WM61_Kavana_Rickys ROM?

[kemistry]

Hi,

I want to connect to my work Exchange server. However, the option for Exchange is missing in the ROM. From the email setup, Pick your provider, I get Internet e-mail or Custom Domain.

There should be one for Exchange server there, but there isn't.

Can anyone help to get this option back?

Cheers

Hi,

Surely someone must have an answer for Exchange support?

Set it up via the ActiveSync app on your phone, not the email setup.

Cool,

Thanks. I'll try that. Just reflashing at the moment...

If you go into the activesync program, select menu, then select "Configure Server" you can setup your exchange server through there, works great for me, constantly synced.

Does this push your calendar to your dash as well as the email? I just purchased the G1, didn't even have it 24 hours. It certainly has some shortcomings but I was enjoying the calendar and email sync from google. Got back to my office and I was moved to the exchange server and of course no support on the android. I really like a lot of the features of my dash, but never had exchange before. I guess I am going back to it but wonder if my calendar and emails will be synced?

Yes they will. That's the whole point of a mail server like.. exchange. To sync your email !! :rolleyes:

I can confirm that the ActiveSync Exchange configuration works on the Kavana and Ricky ROMs. Not only emails, but also personal calendar items sync. Group calendar entries, however, do not sync. THIS IS NOT specific to Kavana/Ricky ROMs. It's just a feature that Microsoft left out of ActiveSync in Windows Mobile all the way up to v6.1. You should warn your Exchange support people that they should discourage group calendar use, as Microsoft incompletely implemented it. Instead, people should use the traditional invite/response system that puts calendar entries in the personal store when they are accepted.

I hear that there are third party agents that run on the Exchange server and, basically, copy group invites into all of the group members' personal stores so that ActiveSync syncs them, so if your office insists on using group calendars then they should look for one of those server add-ons.
