Difference between Exchange and IMAP tabs when setting up a mail account

I understand that for iPhone to communicate with Exchange, IMAP access is required:
"Exchange email accounts must be configured for IMAP to work with iPhone" (from the iPhone user guide)
My questions is, what (exactly) is the difference between the IMAP and Exchange tabs when setting up a mail account on the iPhone? I have it working with secure IMAP inbound (port 993) and SMTP outbound (port 25) on my Exchange Server 2003 server; however I would like to know the difference between plain "IMAP" and "Exchange" in the iPhone configuration.
Searching the forums has revealed lots of people asking how to set up IMAP on Exchnage (Microsoft documentation would seem a good place to start), but I don't seem to be able to answer this question.
If anybody knows the answer, I'd be most grateful. One post suggested that there is no difference; however I can't imagine Apple cluttering the interface with an option if there is an existing feature that's identical!

Thanks for answering Lawrence. I'm not using Outlook as the computer I sync with is running Mac OS X with Office for Mac 2004, but guess it considers Outlook and Entourage to be the same.
I'm still a little bit confused when you say "takes the settings" as most Outlook clients are not configured for IMAP (MAPI-RPC is the native protocol, although some may use HTTP-RPC) and mine didn't seem to take any settings automatically - I had to set it up manually on the iPhone.
Cheers, Mark

  • Difference between  aggregation and calculation tab in BEx Query Designer

    HI,
    I am using BEx Query Designer for my report, for the key figures in the coloumn area i slected one numeric key figures, in  the properties tab i found aggregation tab and calculation tab.
    I need to sum up the total values for that particualar coloumn, when i used calculation tab i found to sum all the values for a particular coloumn, then what is the use the aggreagation tab?
    I not able to used that Aggregation tab it is showing as a hidden fields...
    can any one tell me whats the exact difference between these tabs and when we need to use which tab?
    With Regards,
    Thanesh Kumar.

    Hi Thanesh Kumar,
    I moved this thread from forum Data Warehousing to Business Explorer since it is a query related question (as SDN moderator).
    I could explain to you the difference between these two tabs.
    For "calculation" tab, it changes the display of result and does not change the calculation logic.
    It means that, if this key figure is used further in formula, still the original number (without "calculation" tab setting)  is used for further formula calculation.
    For "aggregation" tab, it changes the real calculation logic.
    The system takes the setting as the aggregation rule for records.
    The most common aggregation rule is of course summation. If you set to e.g. Average here, the system does the
    Average instead of summation when aggregating records. And the Average value will be taken for calculation
    in further formulas or other calculations.
    For "aggregation" tab, you could only use it for CKF (calculated key figure) or formula and you could not use it for
    a basic key figure. That should be the reason why you see it greyed-out.
    Regards,
    Patricia

  • What's the difference between Protect and Lock tabs?

    I'd like to begin each new session with the same pinned tabs open to the landing page for each site. I'm not sure how to do that

    You may set Firefox to start with tabs from the previous session. That is in the preferences | options from the menu button .
    * See [[Startup, home page and download settings]]
    You may pin tabs from an option on right clicking them. Such pinned tabs are remembered with other tabs if you set Firefox to use the previous sessions tabs.
    You may also be interested in customising and pinning sites to the newtab page.

  • Difference between EAI and SOA? when to use which one?

    Hi,
    Please share this information, What IS EAI and What is SOA? why they came and what its use, and when we have to use which of these?
    Thanks.

    EAI is the mother of all the integrations. EAI acts as a connector and can integrate at large scale however SOA is another integration technique which is used for small scale integration. SOA is an approach to have software resources in an enterprise available and discoverable on network as well defined services. Each service would achieve a predefined business objective and perform discrete units of work. The services are independent and do not depend on the context or state of the other services. They work within distributed systems architecture.

  • Difference between Gmail and Exchange when setting up email

    Hi all,
    When adding my Gmail email details in Settings in iOS7 (Via Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Add Account) I’m presented with the options to use Exchange or Google.
    I know back in the early days of the iOS it was always preferable to use Exchange as it synced everything on your phone perfectly (mail, contacts, calendar) but it seems that now the Google option is just as good…?
    Other than the capability to push emails to my device (a function that I don't use anyway), is there any other difference between the Exchange and Google options when setting up email?
    Thanks,
    David

    I've tested it out on my iOS7 5s; the calendar and contact syncing seems to work absolutely fine though?
    This was in reference to the Google option. It syncs mail, calendar, contacts and notes all absolutely fine as far as I can see - I wanted to check I wasn't missing anything.
    Any need to get narky there?

  • Difference between idoc and rfc

    what is the difference between idoc and rfc? when and where it is used? when there is idoc, why rfc vice versa?

    IDoc (for intermediate document) is a standard data structure for electronic data interchange (EDI) between application programs written for the popular SAP business system or between an SAP application and an external program. IDocs serve as the vehicle for data transfer in SAP's Application Link Enabling (ALE) system. 
    IDocs are used for asynchronous transactions:  Each IDoc generated exists as a self-contained text file that can then be transmitted to the requesting workstation without connecting to the central database. 
    Another SAP mechanism, the Business Application Programming Interface (BAPI) is used for synchronous transactions. 
    A large enterprise's networked computing environment is likely to connect many geographically distributed computers to the main database. These computers are likely to use different hardware and/or operating system platforms. An IDoc encapsulates data so that it can be exchanged between different systems without conversion from one format to another. 
    IDoc types define different categories of data, such as purchase orders or invoices, which may then be broken down into more specific categories called message types. Greater specificity means that an IDoc type is capable of storing only the data required for a particular transaction, which increases efficiency and decreases resource demands. 
    An IDoc can be generated at any point in a transaction process. For example, during a shipping transaction process, an IDoc may be generated that includes the data fields required to print a shipping manifest. After a user performs an SAP transaction, one or more IDocs are generated in the sending database and passed to the ALE communication layer. The communication
    layer performs a Remote Function Call (RFC), using the port definition and RFC destination specified by the customer model. 
    The IDoc is transmitted to the receiver, which may be an R/3, R/2, or some external system
    RFC
    Remote Function Calls (RFC) and data exchange through IDoc message documents. RFC makes direct and synchronous calls of a program in the remote system. If the caller is an external program it will call an RFC-enabled function in R/3 and if the calling program is the R/3 system it will call an RFC-function in another R/3-system or it will call a non-R/3 program through a gateway-proxy (usually rfcexec.exe). BAPIs are a subset of the RFC-enabled function modules, especially designed as Application Programming Interface (API) to the SAP business object, or in other words: are function modules officially released by SAP to be called from external programs.

  • Minimum difference between average and peak bitrage in mpeg2?

    is there a technical reason why compressor insists on certain minimum differences between average and peak bitrate when compressing to mpeg2?
    when analyzing other footage, i regularly see material where the difference is much smaller than what compressor will allow me to do.
    for instance; i'm seeing material that is compressed at 4.7 average with a peak at 5.2. compressor insists on setting the peak at 5.5 when the average is 4.7 ...

    Well, compression theory says that, ideally, the max bit rate would be double the average bit rate. But since since life often gets in the way of theoretical perfection, Compressor 2 imposes a minimum 1 Mbps difference. This is partially touched upon in the DVDSP 4 manual. From page 64:
    Since the VBR methods are most effective when the maximum bit rate is about double the basic bit rate, or at least 1 to 3 Mbps higher than the basic bit rate, the Max Bit Rate setting is forced to be higher than the Bit Rate setting.
    Now, while Compressor 2 is coded for a 1 Mbps difference, it doesn't always follow that, in my experience. There are instances when, footage permitting, Compressor uses average bit rates lower than specified as well as never hitting the max bit rate that you've set (but it really does depend on the footage).

  • Difference between Null and null?

Null means, the referential type is not assigned (doesn't refer) to a specific object. The empty String is just another object though, so seeing it or pointing it out as something special when it actually isn't at all (no more special than new Integer(0) or new Object[0]) just adds to the confusion.

    AttachToWidget() is using AttachObserver().
    AttachToWidget() is used in DialogObserver,  AttachObserver() is used in any observer.

  • Difference between Using and Changing

    hi,
    while defining subroutines, what is the exact difference between Using and Changing?
    when we pass by reference we can use both and while passing using value we can use both + Value (VAR).
    Then what is the exact difference between two?
    Also, what is formal parameter?q
    Moderator message - Please do not ask or answer basic questions - thread locked
    Edited by: Rob Burbank on Dec 14, 2009 3:31 PM

    Hi C`hinmay,
    When a subroutine is called with "USING" you can make use of the value inside your subroutine but you cannot change the value. With CHANGING you can CHANGE the value too. Formal parameter is the PARAMETER NAME used while defining the interface of a Subroutine.

  • What 's the difference between pJava and J2ME??

    Chaps,
    Whats the difference between J2ME and Pjava?
    When do we differentiate the need to choose one of these platforms?
    J2ME is also used for mobile devices and so is Pjava?
    Can any one please explain?

    PJava was one of the earlier tries by Sun at mobile devices. It is becoming the Personal Profile, which is part of J2ME. J2ME itself covers a LOT of ground.
    For more info on the relationships, read this page in the lurker's guide to j2me, and the J2ME Family diagram at the bottom:
    http://www.blueboard.com/j2me/intro.htm
    pjava is more relevant for higher end cellphones and devices like PDAs, whereas MIDP/J2ME is for basic cellphones, pagers. thus, depending on your target audience, you would pick one or the other.
