E71 Access Point Choice Mail for Exchange

I am used to using the iPhone where whenever you go somewhere, the phone detects available networks and you choose the one you want to connect to. I don't understand why in Mail for Exchange you must define an access point. Is there a way to have the access point selected whenever you enter a new area? And when there is no wireless network available, should it automatically use the GPRS network?
Thank you.

I would have to agree with you on that, it's my one and only complaint about the current S60 software.. Just about all other plaforms offer this function and Nokia used to with connection groups.

How to configure Mail for exchange to select autom...

I have an E71 with a corporate Mail for Exchange mailbox, the menu allow me to configure the connection Access point manually only. So, by default I select the G3 cell phone connection, but while I'm at home the nokia E71 onnects to my DSL wifi connection but Mail For Exchange cannot switch automatically to it ?
is there a way to configure that automatically ? switching from low cost connectivity access point automatically when repliacting with the exchange server ?
I'm running with Mail for Exchange version 2.09.158
Many thanks in advance

There is no default for those entries. you need to set it up manually by using the custom label.

Mail for Exchange - Access Point question

Hello,
When setting up Mail for Exchange, you need to input the Access Point. I cannot find an option to select "Ask for Access Point" or something along that line.
I use wireless access points and when I go from one spot to another I have to change my settings just to sync.
Does anyone know of an option, if not how could I file for a feature request?

The specific problem can be resolved. How did you hard reset your phone? You should hard reset your phone (some key combination which I cannot remember, press four keys simultaneously). Then format mass memory. Reinstall the firmware. Otherwise let Nokia Care reflash your phone. I had issues with freezes when I hung up a call, but that was resolved when Nokia Care reflashed my phone.
My phone is currently broken, so I cannot help you further.

Mail for Exchange Missing Functions E71 v E72

Hi All,
So I have been using an E71 with Mail for Exhcange for some time now and find it is very good.
However
I have an E72 with Mail for Exhcange already installed on the device BUT it clearly has missing functions whihc I had on the previous version on Mail fo Exchangeo n the E71.
These are
Comp Directory - Very useful for looking up contacts details from the GAB
View Log in Mail for Exchange. This is useful to see what the error is for a reason why the device may not be syncing with the MS Exchange Server.
Full resync in mail for Exchange. This again useful for support as other users will tell you that if the two systems have got their wires twisted, a full resync can fix the problem!
What version of the software do I have? Helps for future support and upgrades.
So Mr Nokia Software Developer. When can we have these functions added? Do we have to drop this software tool and device....

As far as the version number goes - it's not a misprint, it's just they way Nokia numbering scheme works. build 2.09 is version 2.9. Similarly in Nokia Maps build 3.04 is called version 3.4... go figure.

E71 Mail for Exchange System Error, try again late...

Hi,
Please Help!
I installed MfE 2.7 on my E71, but whenever I try to sync my email and calender, I get a system error.
It begins to sync the email but after that it doesn't sync the calender and I get the system error. Also each time it tries to sync emails, it retrieves all the mail each time.
If I sync only the calender, it retrieves all the items and I get a system error. I've pasted the admin log below.
27/10/2008 10:17:42 start Email sync
27/10/2008 10:17:53 sync died (11), collection=Email activity=handling commands from server
27/10/2008 10:22:36 PING Command Requested
27/10/2008 10:22:42 start Email sync
27/10/2008 10:23:01 sync died (47), collection=Email activity=handling commands from server
Does anyone know how to solve this?

OK - like many on the copius web discussions on this Nokia E71 model/MfE topic I have been getting terminally frustrated with an otherwise great phone.
A trawl through the websites gave me lots of things to try, but most didn't work.
Our large corporate IT dept also were left scratching their heads, and resorted to a full reset, which cured the problem briefly, but as with others' experience it soon returned (also having to fully reconfig is a pain in the proverbial). Things suggested on the discussion sites like disabling Tasks synch, or Secure Connection didn't have any effect.
The fact that most others with the same phone on our system hadn't experienced the problem seemed to hint at it not being a server issue, but something more localised. The apparent fact that 'Emails' did synch OK, but that the process hung on 'Calendar' synch suggested it was a Calendar issue
One post mentioned issues with no-finish-date recurring appointments in Calendar, so I investigated these. I found that one or two had no end date, so I gave these items one.
But interestingly, I also found a high proportion of appointments that had been created last year (09) had end dates like 'Wed 31/03/00' when clearly 'Wed 31/03/10' was intended - was this an odd default in Calendar, or just careless typing? The consequences were that Calendar was possibly wrestling with numerous recurring appts with either 100-year durations, or possibly just hanging on the date confusion - is '00' before or after '10'?.
Therefore, as a precaution, I checked all my recurring appts like this (the procedure may vary according to your browser):-
- In Calendar, open each recurring appt in turn;
- Open the series, not just the individual appointment;
- Check 'Recurrence';
- Check that an 'End By' date is there, and that it is not '00';
- Click OK;
- Click OK again if warned about exceptions;
- Cick 'Save & Close'.
Do this to absolutely all recurring appointments in your Calendar.
Then do a full resynch (Menu/MfE/Synch Mode/Full Resynch etc).
I didn't hold much hope of any effect, but Lo!, it did work, and now Emails, Contacts, Tasks, and Calendar all synch fine so far, using Menu/MfE/Mail for Exchange/Options/Synchronise.
I hope this works for others...let me know if it does.

E71 mail for exchange Error

I am setting up a Nokia E71 phone for exchange mail via the mail for exchange application on the Nokia all settings appear to be fine however when i try to sync email in the log i see an error "Server requires secure connection change profile >connection > secure connection yes"
The connection is already specified to be secure.

I'm also struggling to setup Exchange on my E71.
I'm currently looking to do software updates (I'm using software 211) and hoping the problems go away in the new cell software.
I put in all the settings, and it just fails to connect, yet, when we check our logs (Linux) we can see the phone making connection.
Thoughts?

Nokia E71 - support for multiple mail for exchange...

Does the Nokia E71 supports multiple mail for exchange accounts?

Unfortunately only one Mail for Exchange (ActiveSync) account is supported on Nokia E71.

E71 Mail for Exchange problem

I've set up a few of these adn had no problems but yesterday I set up 3 off E71-b exactly the same as always and all now have the same problem: when powering on you get the message "allow to send and receive......" answering "yes" then gives "testing network" and then then the Email setup wizard starts again. If you then cancel the Wizard the phone synchs properly with Head Office's Exchange Server. It means the users have to exit teh wizard at evry start-up. Any help would be much appreciated.

Guys -- I had the same problem but I think I figured it out. Menu>MfE>Mail for Exchange>Content synced> Synchronize Calendar (choose yes, ditto Contacts and Tasks)>then follow the stupid menu logic that doesn’t actually save any changes unless you save each individual change or something and finally choose “in case of conflict server always wins”> and double check to make sure it is always looking for changes. I tested it with new calendar and contact entries on my corp. mail account and they showed up almost immediately on the e71.
Cripes. Good luck.

Can't use Mail for Exchange With E71

I downloaded MFE for My nokia E71, and as i am using Microsoft Exchangelabs.com as my exchange server. unfortunately MFE is not working, i mailed a couple of MS technical support and the final remark was
(the implementation of the Exchange ActiveSync is not compatible with Exchange Labs. For example, E71 may not support wild card certificate (*.exchangelabs.com) Exchange Labs uses for ActiveSync.)
I installed Roadsync to check on the exchangelabs.com service, It works smothly. However I would prefer to Use MFE. Could any one help me on this issue.

After playing around for a while, I'm now able to get my exchange mails working.
The issue was:
I installed MfE by using my phone browser which was working synced but didn't give me the icon to check my mails.
Solution to this particular issue is:
Un installed the MfE which i previously downloaded.
I downloaded MfE from Nokia web site and used Nokia PC Suite to install in on my phone.
Re created the profile
Synced it.
and I was able to see the Mail for exchange icon to check my mails.

E71 - Mail for exchange syncs calendar only partly

I'm pretty new to using the Mail for Exchange (latest version from Ovi) application in my E71, had a 3rd party software that handled pim sync before.
Any how, the company has moved from Lotus Notes to Microsoft Exchange 2010 and in that process migrated data from Notes to Exchange. For some reason the Mail for Exchange application syncs only entrys changed or created in Exchange, older entrys migrated from Notes unchanged wont show up in the handset.
I have verified with handsets from other vendors that this is not an server/active sync error, fore example Apples iPhone will sync every entry. How come, anyone has any ideas?

Go to OVI store on your E71 and download Mail for Exchange.

E71, mail for exchange, emails not being deleted

Hello, I have an E71 on which I have configured mfE to sync with my company's exchange server. I've set emails to sync the last 3 days and calendar entries last 2 weeks. However, emails and calendar entries which are older than 3 days/2 weeks are not deleted from the phone. It keeps everything until finally it stops syncing and gives me a "system error, please try later". I'm thinking it is because the device becomes full or something like that. Doing a full resync resolves the problem, although it would be nice to have it working properly.

Hi az1987,
How often do u face this error on ur device screen?
what is the frimware on the device*#0000#)
what is the version of mail for exchange ? (this u can get from ABOUT of mfe)
You said 'it stops syncing' when does this happen?
please revert me back on the above queries so i can work out on this?
by the way do u face this problem when u try retrieving all maisl instead of only 3days older?
If this post helped... Add some kudos!!

Setting up Mail for Exchange on E71

I'm completely new to any smartphones so please bear with my ignorance. I have an E71 and am trying to get mail for exchange working. My company runs sbs2003 on our company server.
I have input all the required information (server name, domain name, login, etc.) and I keep getting told I need to set the phone to a secure connection and I have set this setting to yes already.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

You can go to Nokia site, there's a new version of mail for exchange support apps(mfe) & some tips in updating mails from server.
