How effective does iPhone 4 sync with Microsoft Exchange

Hello,
Sorry for a possible repost but I did try to search for this topic but didn't find anything.
I'm really into the new iPhone 4 to use as a business phone. I have a Dell PC with Windows XP. The most important thing for me regarding iPhone is that the sync with Microsoft Exchange is flawless.
Can somebody (who has an iPhone and Microsoft Exchange) tell me how effective the sync is with iPhone and Microsoft Exchange? Does the e-mail sync quickly and how does the sync work with contacts and calendar. If I put a new calendar item in Outlook does it appear on my iPhone without me asking it to sync and etc.?
Please do share your experience

Can I put the sync settings on the iPhone 4 to only sync between certain time interval? Say, monday to friday from 08am to 7pm?
If you want push sync, then, no, you can't set a time interval. The entire point of push support is that the server notifies your system whenever something new arrives or something is changed. If you want to control when your iPhone contacts the server, then you can't use push. You can have the system fetch data at a set interval, or you can set to do it manually, if you prefer, but there's no setting where you can set a time window.
And can I put the sync settings only to store a certain amount of e-mails? Say the 100 newest?
You can set how may days of mail to sync, and also how many emails to show.
You might find the the user's guide helpful in learning about features and settings:

  • Treo 680 does not sync with Microsoft Exchange 2007

    Hi
    My company just  upgraded to Microsoft Exchange 2007 and my teo 680 stopped syncing my mails. I checked with the plam support and they informed me that 'The Treo 680 unlocked device is not supported with the Exchange Server 2007.' 
    Has anyone faced this problem. Can anyone help?
    Thanks in advance.

    Nothing to do with Sprint: using domain\username in place of the username in VersaMail has been confirmed on the Centro on the AT&T network. I think the Centro runs a newer version of VersaMail than the 680 (the 680 was released in the Fall of 2006). Perhaps that is the difference?
    The last software update was in January 2008, to support direct push email (http://kb.palm.com/wps/portal/kb/na/treo/680/unlocked/solutions/article/10807_en.html). I doubt you will see more, considering that this device has been discontinued.
    I'm running Windows Mobile now. I miss the PalmOS calendar, but I don't miss VersaMail.

  • What does it mean, in iTunes, "your contacts are being synced with Microsoft Exchange over the air"?

    Hello,
    I'm trying to sync the contacts on my iPhone 5 with my contacts on my Mac Book Air (merge them), I'm also using Outlook (Microsoft) to manage my email account and my contacts.  I used to sync my contacts from my previous iPhone (4S) with my contacts on my Mac and also with contacts on Outlook.
    Now that I have iPhone 5 I missed that sync (iPhone-Mac-Outlook), so I figure it out that in iTunes there is this message: "your contacts are being synced with Microsoft Exchange over the air. Your contacts will also sync directly with this computer. This may result in duplicated data showing on your device"
    Every contact created on iPhone doesn't sync with my Mac or Outlook.
    How should I configure my iphone and my mac to sync properly??
    Thanks a lot!

    Not surprisingly there have been no answers to this question because the only person who knows how to use iTunes/iCloud/iPhone is too busy.

  • ITunes Says My Contacts Are Being Synced With Microsoft Exchange, But I Don't Have An Exchange Account

    iTunes says my contacts are being synced with Microsoft Exchange over the air, but I do not have an Exchange account, and I have disabled over the air syncing on both my iPhone 4, as well as in iTunes. How do I remedy this? I did a complete Restore on my phone to rectify this, but got the same results.
    I have worked for a couple of hours now; at first, none of my contacts were syncing with Outlook, even though iTunes said they were. Then after checking and unchecking everything I could find relating to syncing, some of my contacts synced. Now I've managed to get them all synced, but still getting this message. I need to make sure that going forward, all changes and updates are correctly synced manually whenever I plug my phone into my computer. Any suggestions?

    You are getting this message because you are trying to create an iCloud account on a PC.  You can only create iCloud account on an iOS device (iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch) running iOS 5 or higher, or on a Mac running OS X Lion (10.7.5) or higher.  After creating your account on one of these devices you will then be able to sign into the account using this ID on your PC.

    Has anyone had issues syncing with microsoft exchange since updating to ios 5.1.1

    No bug I'm using exchange at work I've updated a couple of people here and it's working. 
    Your IT guy can't fix this for you?   This problem usually is due to the exchange server not recogonizing your account.   You have the right server and domain entered?

  • IPad Contacts sync with Microsoft Exchange problem

    I have a iPad & iPhone and use Microsoft Exchange to sync my Calendar, Contacts and Email with my Google account. I am having a problem with my Contacts. Some how when I have my iPad sync my contacts it keeps adding contacts that I have changed or have deleted. I can have over 30 extra contacts with some adding the same contact 7 or 8 times before I delete them in Google and switch the sync off on my iPad. How is my iPad having these ghost copy of old contacts and keep adding them to my contacts on Google. I have deleted my Microsoft Exchange account to Google off my iPad and tried it again with no luck. It keeps adding old contacts I have changed or have deleted? What can I do

    We have a user with the same issue. Each time a contact is updated, a duplicate is created. I have done some testing removing phone numbers from a contact in Outlook, but they remain in the contact information on the iPad. Any ideas?

  • Ipad mini 3 can't sync with microsoft exchange email (iphone 6 can)

    I have an iPhone 6 and iPad mini 3 (verizon). Both are set up the exact same. At work, I am able access Microsoft Exchange email using the iPhone mail app with wifi. (I work underground and have no access to cell service) However, the iPad Mini will not allow me to access my email over wifi using the mail app.
    Here is the tricky part. 1)wifi works perfectly on the iPad Mini for all other functions (safari, other apps, etc.). 2)when I get home (or anywhere else) the iPad mini is able to access my work email without a problem. I am not using my cellular connectivity at home, so it has nothing to do with that.
    Nobody at work seems to be able to figure it out. Is it a MAC address issue, IP address or a blocked port? Help me please!
    All passwords and other settings are the same on the iPhone and iPad. Also, this is not a gmail exchange account. I already know that gmail does not support new exchange accounts. This is a work hosted email.

    Here is what I gather from my reading:
    -- delete you exchange account then re-configure.  Shakes things up.
    -- reboot device.
    -- re-install from backup.
    -- use microsoft outlook for ipad.  ( some business do not allow.  check.  Why? caches info on amazon cloud. ) You should try as a trial at least.
    2)when I get home (or anywhere else) the iPad mini is able to access my work email without a problem.
    VPN vs no VPN?  Would seem there is a diff here.
    Re-boot ipad.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until a red slider appears, then drag the slider. Then press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.  page 128 iPad user manual.
    force power down if the above give you trouble.
    Hold down both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button. Ten seconds or more.  Hold until the Apple logo appears.
    more details on re-booting:

    Restore to factory settings by loading the latest version of ios that your machine will support:

  • IPad Calendar sync with Microsoft Exchange problem

    I use Microsoft Exchange to sync my Google Calendars with my iPad & iPhone. I have a work, personal & business calendar. On my iPhone it sync all three calendars, but on my iPad it only sync my personal calendar. What can I do to fix this, if anything or does there need to be a software update?

    Go to m.google.com/sync and set which calendars you wish to show up. Nothing broken.

  • Syncing with Microsoft Exchange, "Password Incorrect"

    New iPhone user here.  Currently use Google for email, contacts and calendar and am trying to use Google Sync to keep email, contacts and calendar up to date on my iPhone.  However, when I create an Exchange account on the iPhone and enter in all the pertinent info (Google user name, password, etc.), it seems to verify the info okay but after I hit "Save" I keep getting the message "Password Incorrect, Enter the password for the Exchange account "Exchange."  Entering my Google password does not help and this message keeps popping up.  I've tried deleting all accounts, including Gmail and iCloud and then creating the Exchange account again, but this doesn't help.  I've seen several others with this problem when Googling the error message but no real solution.  Tried turning the phone off and back on also.  Any ideas on how to get this working?
    Thanks so much!!!

    It looks like Sean Greenlee's response was spot on. My IT guy found an article on removing the phone partnership.
    Per him, "You can use the remote wipe command to delete
    a mobile device partnership from the Exchange server. This action, which is primarily useful for "housekeeping" purposes, will delete from the Exchange server all states that are associated with a specified device. If a user tries to connect a mobile device
    to the Exchange server after the partnership between the mobile device and the Exchange server has been deleted, the mobile device user will be forced to re-establish the partnership with the Exchange server." 
    He completed the remote wipe today, I removed my account, re-started the phone and re-installed the account and everything seems to be working.
    Best of luck.

  • Emails for Current Day are not sync with Microsoft Exchange server

    I have bought a Z1 and configured my microsoft exchange server email on it. All is working well. However it is only showing emails till yesterday. I have tried all sync settings including automatic, all, one day and all others but still it is not showing emails for current day. I have also tried all sort options but still no improvement.
    The same setting are working perfectly fine on my Samsung Galaxy Note 2. What is the issue and how to fix it? Please make sure i have purchased a new phone and would use the stock email app and no third party email app. 
    Already there is a downgrade in Z1 stock email app. It is not supporting formatted signatures and formatted outgoing emails. Which is now very common on all phones of its price and class. 
    What is Sony doing on its phones? i do not understand.
    Please let me know how to fix my issue of most recent emails sync.

  • Syncing ACT contacts while on automatic wireless syncing with Microsoft Exchange Server?

    Does anyone know if this is possible? At the moment, my company is automatically performing a wireless sync between Outlook contacts and their Blackberry Curve 8330 devices. However, employees that travel also need their ACT contacts on their phone. I've researched CompanionLink and know that I can get the ACT contacts directly onto the Blackberry that way, but, the problem arises where the ACT contacts will end up syncing back to the Exchange server -- which we don't want. We want to keep the automatic syncing with Outlook, but periodically we want to do a one-way ACT transfer onto our Blackberries, without having those extra (approximately 5,000) contacts go back into Outlook. Is there an easy way to categorize/separate Outlook and ACT? Any ideas or workarounds?

    I am trying to sync my Outlook 2007 with my palm Treo Pro but keep getting the same error - server could not be reached Error code
    80072ee2. This is probably a basic question but the server you enter into the Microsoft Exchange settings in active sync is the mail server you have in Outlook 2007? eg mail.internode.on.net. I don't need to do anything to outlook 2007 to "activate" Microsoft Exchange.
    I'm looking at the Internode setup guides and it looks as though you have a POP server. In that case, if you want to sync directly to the server, you would want to set it up for POP/SMTP rather than for Microsoft Exchange Server. Does that help?
    If you do not want to sync over the air and instead want to sync only by USB/Bluetooth to your PC, I think that works quite differently. I don't have any experience with that.

  • Samsung S4 not syncing with Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync

    I've had my Samsung S4 for several months and everything worked w/o issue until 12/13/2013 when Verizon did a software update "update_SCH-1545_MJ7_to_MK2". 
    Prior to this update, my phone was synced to my work account without any issues. For several years before that, I had other phones synced as well, all without issue. Since this update, all of my contacts/tasks/calendar work just fine.
    The problem is with the email, I cannot get email to sync past 12/10/2013. The phone syncs up and loads emails dating back to 2007, but it will not give me any email past 12/10/2013. I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling, changing push to every 5 minutes,
    resetting the phone. Nothing works. 
    I've spoken with our IT department, they can't figure it out. They referred me to Verizon. I've taken it to Verizon, no one there seems to have a clue. I even asked them to revert my phone to the prior software version, but they claim it's not possible. 
    One of the main issues I believe is the inability of the new software to allow me to access the port #'s being used. I recall the prior version of software to allow me to change these, the new version does not allow or even show what port it's using. 
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    I believe we are running Windows XP, unsure of the version of Outlook. We are a small city government, so newer software (2007/2010/2013) is highly unlikely anytime soon.
