NOTE
Even if you sync with an Exchange
server, we recommend that you install the
desktop sync software as well (see Setting
up your computer for synchronization), to
take full advantage of your smartphone’s
capabilities.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
To synchronize
wirelessly, you need to set up an Exchange
Server account. Work with your system
administrator to gather the following
information:
•
Mail server address and domain name.
•
The username and password you use to
access your corporate mail server.
•
Security connection: Does your server
use an encrypted (SSL) connection?
•
Whether it is OK to store your corporate
email password on your smartphone. To
maintain security, the administrator may
require you to not store the password
on your smartphone.
DID YOU KNOW
?
Because your desktop copy of
Outlook also syncs with the server, whatever
is synchronized to the server from your
smartphone also shows up in Outlook on your
computer, and whatever you enter or change
in Outlook on your computer syncs to the
server and then shows up on your
smartphone.
DID YOU KNOW
?
You cannot synchronize email
distribution lists wirelessly with the Exchange
server. However, you can search for a Global
Address List in Contacts (see Finding a
contact in an online address book) and add it
as a single entry in your contact list. This
contact entry can then synchronize with the
server.
TIP
If you are using Microsoft Exchange
ActiveSync and you lose your smartphone,
contact your IT department as soon as
possible to have them deactivate access to
the Exchange server from your smartphone.
DID YOU KNOW
?
If you use Outlook Web
Access (OWA) services, the mail server
address is usually the same as your OWA
address.
TIP
If you use hosted Exchange services,
contact the host company to get the domain
name.
