Instructions were very clear. I was able to get it up and working through ActiveSync (WM 6.1) Works great! :)

Even if some mail looks the same, if it is coming in from another server, the phone will see it as a completely different email. This makes syncing impossible. I am fairly sure you will need to delete the old account and create a new one. Both WMDC or Activesync should make your life easier. I would be surprised if a full reset was required. Keep in mind that downloading all the mail from the new server could take soem time and possibly cost a fair bit in data costs. Using a computer should speed it up significantly.

However, I now work for "Company B" and I want to sync up my Outlook to the Company B server. WM6 will allow me to change my server name, but the username and domain fields on the next screen are protected. Surely there is someway to change server/username/domain short of a phone reset when folks leave one company and move to another, but I'm not seeing it. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

It is a nice workaround. It is still in development as of 4/6/08, but it looks like it will help a sync occur as it evolves.

It's probably just a tickbox somewhere in the least obvious spot. It is possible that the server address is different to the OWA address. It might be a standard practice to call them the same thing. Is there another server address to access Exchange from the full outlook client? Rhetorical Good luck Joe. It’s probably just a tickbox somewhere in the least obvious spot.

I don't think it is anything the device will be doing. Maybe try a / after OWA. Your Exchange administrator may have some tips for you on this. Hi Joe, I haven’t come across this.

I don't know of any decent VPN options for PPC's. I might be heading right down the wrong track and I am not sure if it is possible but...What about putting the OWA on another port, allowing it to bypass the VPN. This may be able to be setup serverside so nobody needs to change anything at their end. This way, anyone can gain access to the web frontend, internal or external. They then access using their usual username and password, and that is their security. Alternatively, you may want to try using certificates. Both IE and pocket IE work with them. Saying that, I don't understand how these work either. Hey Nick, Server side stuff really isn’t my strong point. I don’t know of any decent VPN options for PPC’s.

I can't really do this on the XPA can i? If its that easy than i wouldn't have a problem. Do you know a way to set up exchange so i can set it up so staffs can access their email through the internet instead of the intranet.
