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.

Will Mail For Exchange sync calendar and contacts ...

Dear fellow Nokia Users,
I have had my E71 for 3 weeks and I am very happy with it!
I am running a small company, and I am considering moving our email from IMAP to Exchange. As I have understood things, there is an application to install to use MFE.
Will calendar and contact be synced on the phone, or is it just email?
Thanks and kind regards,
Jesper
Solved!

You need a Microsoft Exchange Server for Mail for EXCHANGE to work.
For push mail to work with Exchange the MfE client uses Microsoft Exchange Activesync to connect to the server.
For IMAP - I think you'll need Nokia Messaging.
If you have an Exchange Server, then your content from your Outlook based service such as your calender contacts and tasks as well as your mail will work fine.
I rent an Exchange Service from one and one that works very well with the E71.

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, 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?

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.

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?

Mail for Exchange sync in roaming

Upgraded mail for Exchange to 3.00.050 on N82.
Despite 'Sync while roaming' is set to No synchronisation is still taking place, in version 2.x it was behaving as expected. Same trouble for anybody?

Hi!
Normally, the options are Yes, No and in peak only.
But the exchange administrator can enforce the client the default option, so even if you want to select yes, if the exchange server config is set to NO, you can not change it.
Tra to contact your exchange admin for further details.

C5 03- Mail for Exchange- Google Calendar

I dont see "Mail for Exchange" anywhere in my c5 03 phone. I saw in[1] that it is installed automatically when email is set up. I did that, still I dont see Mail for Exchange and no option to synch my google calendar. I read in [2] that I can "select Mail for Exchange when the set up procedure ask to chose the protocol ". I tried again with another email address and did not see this option. Is it because I have already set up a gmail account? Do I need to uninstall it ( if so how?). Can anyone tell me ( step-by-step instructions) what I should do to see/sync my google calendar in my phone.

Hi saigal99,
Welcome to Nokia discussions board!
To set up a mail for exchange account on your Nokia C5-03, please go to Menu > Messaging > Options > Settings > E-mail > Mailboxes > Options > New Mailbox. After entering your e-mail address and password you should have the option "Mail for Exch.". Do you have this option? If not, which choices are displayed?
If you cannot find the Mail for Exchange option this way, please update your device or reinstall the software via Nokia Suite.
Let us know how you get on and feel free to post any other questions you may have.

E90 using Mail for Exchange - Sync sent emails pro...

Hi
I am trying to setup Mail for Exchange on a Nokia E90 and am currently trying it with the free mail2web service before deciding what is right for me
I have gone through all settings and if I sync, it syncs the inbox fine with mail2web and tasks, calendars etc, but it will not sync the sent items folder from the PC to the E90. However, if I send a mail from the E90, it appears on the PC after a sync no problem
Is this a simple setting thing or a limitation?
Say for example, I want to send 20 emails from the PC, and then sync so I can have them on my phone, I do not seem to be able to do so??
Please help with any suggestions

Hello, all,
We have the following problem:
We do NOT want to exchange MAIL with MfE but still CONTACTS and CALENDAR.
We realised the connection with the echange server, and can send e-mails.
But the synchronisation of Contacts and Calendar did not succeed yet.
Maybe we do have to uninstall the synchronisation with the OVI-suite ?
Who has a suggestion?

N9 Mail for Exchange Sync failure

I just got the N9 and when setup my mfe account I got a error with " mandatory Mail for Exchange server policy failed. Access refused."
On my previous E7 works fine and never got a problem.
Any tip to solve this problem?

I have the same problem, I have tried out all thinkable combination’s of port 80, 443, Non-provisionable devide, but nothing works. I can log on to the web exchange server I can see that the N9 has been in connection, but it seems that it fails before completing.
My company exchange server forces me to create a phone lock code and that remains active even after deleting the exchange account. I am not able to change this, only by resetting the phone deleting everything I can get rid of the code.
I have no doubt, that this is something to do with the settings on the company exchange server that are very strict. And the N9 can for some reason not deal with this.
I can use the exchange account with no problems on my e52, 5800 and N8 so the problem is the N9 and not the server.

E72 Mail for Exchange duplicate calendar entries

Mail for Exchange - Outlook Calendar issue

Hi,
Got Mail for Exchange installed and find that my all-day-events/memos in my PC Outlook are copied to my Nokia E65 as 00:00-23:59 meetings.
Most frustrating.
Advice, anyone?
Regards // OM

Aww… I started a thread in another part of this forum about this issue. Did not see this thread. Sorry…
I have the same problem, and I find it annoying. What I’m trying right now is actually to evaluate RoadSync, which don’t have this problem. With RoadSync, an all day event in Outlook will show up as a memo on the phone.
RoadSync also integrates nicely with the built in mail software on the phone (i.e. it is not “stand alone”, as for example ProfiMail is).But so far, I don’t think is so much value added with RoadSync that I can justify $50 for it.

Nokia E71 Mail for exchange "Connection Error. Try...

Hi
I have used /Nokia E71 with latest MfE, i got my details from my Employers Microsoft outlook 2007 like exchnage server, domain and user name.
I just want to synchronise E-mails, whenever i try to synchronise i get "Connection Error. try Later".
Please help me , i am just stuck on that,

Try following the below steps and let me know if we still have the problem.
Choose Yes to create a profile.
Enter these items
E-mail address - e-mail address of your exchange server
Domain - Domain name of your exchange server - Your Exchange Administrator can provide this information
Username - Domain username
Password - email password
Access point - choose the connection you are using. Most likely this is your data plan cellular connection
The Exchange Server will be discovered and populated for you automatically in most cases. If the Exchange server is not discovered, select the Exchange Server field and enter your server information given to you by your email administrator.
Verify the Secure connection is set to Yes. Change to No only if your Exchange Administrator dictates the change. The wrong value will make the connection fail.
Press Options
Select Save
From here you can verify if all is setup correctly by watching the Current status.
Press Options
Select Exit

Mail for Exchange – Outlook calendar not 100% comp...

I’m using MfE 2.09.158 on my E71, and everything works fine except for a small issue/annoyance. If I add a memo on my phone’s calendar, it will appear as a meeting from 0.00 to 23.59 in my outlook calendar. On the other hand, if I add a full day entry in Outlook, it will appear as a 0.00 to 23.59 meeting on my phone.The annoying thing about this is that a full day (or multi day event) will not show up on the start screen of the phone, but a memo will. (Current meetings are not shown on the phone’s start screen; only in the calendar itself.)I’ve just started to use MfE, and earlier I used PC Suite to sync between Outlook and my phone. A full day (or multi day) entry on Outlook would appear as a memo in my phone’s calendar.
I know that there are more serious issues with MfE, but I hope that the MfE team can keep this in mind for future fixes.
Cheers,
M

And to reply to my own thread…
I just tested RoadSync, and RoadSync does exactly what I’m asking for here. Full day appointments in Outlook shows up as memos on my phone, etc. I guess I can buy RoadSync, which seems to be working better, but I’m cheap and I don’t want to pay $50 for something I can get for free with MfE.
