How can I access full Exchange email features on iOS and android?

I currently use a virtual exchange server (2010) in conjunction with outlook 2007. I have several distribution groups set up so I can send from different email addresses through a single exchange server mailbox. This works fine on windows pcs. Unfortunately
I have not found a way of accessing this full exchange functionality on either my android phone or my iPad. Neither the stock mail apps nor any third party mail apps I have tried support the use of distribution group From fields. Worse, the Outlook Web App
that is fully featured on my windows pcs (where I don't need it) for some reason becomes a light version when accessed on an iPad air or android phone. The light version does not support From fields at all, whether distribution group based or not. I have tried
using safari and dolphin and OWA always defaults to and won't let me change from the feature crippled light version.
Does anyone have any ideas as to how I can access Exchange's changeable From fields on iPad or Android phone?

Hi Lucio,
I found a solution eventually but it is not very elegant. You need to use an iPad web browser that can fool the Exchange server's web interface into believing it is a desktop browser not a tablet browser! Unticking the "use light version" checkbox
does not work on Safari and all other mainstream browsers I have tried despite what Microsoft claims on its help pages - it will always force the reduced features version on you. There are a few iPad browsers that allow you to select desktop emulation. I use
one with the bizarre name of KissMyAgent and in desktop mode I can load the full version of OWA although it is not a smooth user experience.
As for dedicated mail apps, I looked at all the free ones and they didn't as at Feb 2014 and also emailed all the developers of the premium ones and they all confirmed they didn't either. If anyone knows of any dedicated mail apps that support the full Exchange
features (see my OP), please let us know!

    How can I access old Entourage emails to import them into Mac Mail after upgrading to OS Lion? I don't really want to go back to Snow Leopard in order to access the old Microsoft Applications, but they simply aren't supported in Lion.

    In Mail you can select Import Mailboxes... from the File menu. There is an import from Entourage feature.

    We both use the same iPad my father and I as of today, as is letting me use it too from now on (sweet! ), I do not want to make a mistake and accidently use my father's ID & passwords (dohh ), but each time the ID & Password pops up it ask for his (???), how can I access mine, so it's my account and financials being used. Thanks to any of those gifted with this knowlegde... AMAKANGAROO

    In order to reliably save the info and be able to restore at a later date, you would need to use his AppleID.
    Switch to it on iTunes, back the iPad up and confirm the backup exists (Preferences / Devices), then switch to yours, wipe the iPad and start afresh. Will also wipe his apps, as they are tied to the AppleID as well.

  • HT201342 How can I access the old emails in iCloud that are no longer on my device

    I want to view an old email no longer on my iPad. How can I view it on iCloud?

    Go to icloud.com on your computer and look at your mail.  Chances are, if they aren't on your iPad you won't find them on icloud.com either, in which case they are no longer available.

  • How can I delete multiple received email msgs. at once (and empty all Trash msgs. at once)?

    With iOS7 I can't select,mark and delete all received msgs. at once as I could in some earlier versions. I can select all but only can delete them one at a time by tapping the trash barrel.  How can it delete at once all the selected (red dot) inbox msgs, and them delete them from the Trash since that's where they end up?  Thanks!

    As long as they are in a continuous range, select the first, then hold SHIFT and click on the last. All in between will be selected. You can also use CTRL-click to add or remove individual songs from the selection. When you are ready you can delete the selection.
    You might find iTunes Folder Watch useful if your missing files are scattered randomly through the library.

  • How can I access nested symbol details such as offset and name dynamically

    Hey friendly Edge Animate experts!
    I'm very new to Edge Animate, and appear to have run into some startup problems that I am unable to find a good way around.
    I have setup a small demo project with several levels, and am trying to get details from symbols on 2nd or 3rd level dynamically with little luck.
    To test that I fetch the correct details, and have the pathing correct, I have added a text option in each symbol.
    I can access and alter the value of the text fields - but I can't access the symbol data such as offset, position, ID, name etc.
    For simplicity, imagine a project with a symbol "FirstLevel" that has a symbol "SecondLevel" inside it.
    "SecondLevel" has three symbols that each have 2 text layers FirstTextField and SecondTextField  in addition to a symbol that has a png image.
    My code:
    // Get all the 3rd level symbols that I want to get details on (works perfectly)
    var childSymbols = sym.getComposition().getStage().getSymbol("FirstLevel").getSymbol("SecondLevel").getChild Symbols();
    // Loop through all the children (works perfectly)
    for(var i=0; i<childSymbols.length; i++){
    // Add the looping counter to a text field just to test if all is ok (works perfectly)
       childSymbols[i].$("FirstTextField").html(""+i)
    So... I can access the symbols, change a text without problems.
    Now i would like to get the symbol details such as offset().left or position().top
    and add that info to SecondTextField and I just can crack that nut!!!
      childSymbols[i].$("SecondTextField").html(""+childSymbols[i].position().left); // not working
      childSymbols[i].$("SecondTextField").html("TEST VALUE"); // working, TEST VALUE is shown
    // Not working
    var ChildPos = sym.getSymbol(childSymbols[i]).position();
    childSymbols[i].$("SecondTextField").html(""+ChildPos.left);
    // Not working
      childSymbols[i].$("SecondTextField").html(""+getVariable(childSymbols[i]).position().left ));
    I have tried this and that for hours and hours
    I feel that i have searched high and low
    I must have tried all the wrong options
    But I'm still looking for the one correct way to do thi...
    Any help, tips, tricks or read-up directions would be much apreciated.

    Hey Darrell,
    Thank you very much for taking the time to look into this.

  • How can I access the iCloud email on used iPad 2

    I purchased two iPad 2's that were sold to a salvage company by an insurance company.  One works fine, the other says it is registered to someones iCloud account.  I understand that there is not a way to restore or bypass this.  Apple says you have to contact the person, however it masks the email address.  Is there any way to access that full email so I can reach out to the original purchaser?  If not, is my only option to just throw away a perfectly good iPad?

    Mail syncing IS enabled at settings >iCloud. But I don't see my me.com account in the list of accounts under Account >Mail, contacts, calendar>settings.
    There is a item named iCloud (that includes email, contacts, calendar and others), but there is still nothing that appears in my mail account...

  • How can I access my iCloud email account when I don't remember the password and Apple won't accept the answer to my security question?

    I set up an email account with " @me.com". I get a wrong password message when I try to log in. When I try to change my password I get an INcorrect answer message to the security question I'm asked my birth date so I know I have it right, unless I did a typo when I set up the account. When I choose email me the reset password lnk I cannot retrieve the email because it won't accept the password. I wanted to justemail Apple for instructions but cannot find an email address for that. Any help would be appreciated.

    I tried that without any luck. I was hoping I could get Apple to reset it for me or delete the account so I could recreate it or at least tell me what is listed as my birth date, the security question answer.

  • How can I edit a yahoo email to remove names and those durn lines to make it cleaner?

    I like to share emails and like to "clean" them up.  I want to remove names; clean punctuation &amp; spacing, and remove the vertical lines.  I can do this easily within my Firefox browser.  But, with no mouse it is near impossible with my iPad.  Is their an App that. I can download or other techniques I can use? 
    Many thanks - Chas in Dallas

    The only way that I know how to do it, is to use the same technique that you use when you edit any document or notes on the iPad, select the text that you want to delete and then select the cut, or delete option. You can do the same thing with those blue vertical bars if you want to remove them. It isn't necessarily all that tedious. It's pretty easy to select an entire group of email addresses or section of text and then delete it.

  • How can I Access the Flash "Slide class" using flex and ActionScript 3?

    Hi,
    I hope someone can help me solve a problem...
    I'm using the flex SwfLoader to load a flash side
    presentation as follows...
    <mx:SWFLoader id="ss_slides" source="ss_slides.swf"
    width="320" height="240"/>
    I would like to access the flash "Slide Class" using flex so
    I can make the following call...
    Slide.gotoNextSlide();
    Anyone know how I can do that?
    Would it be through the SwfLoader Object?
    Is there another way?
    F.Y.I. Here is a snippets about the Slide class from the
    Flash 8 help...
    Using the Slide class (Flash Professional only)
    You use the methods and properties of the Slide class to
    control slide
    presentations you create using the Screen Outline pane for a
    Flash Slide
    Presentation, to get information about a slide presentation
    (for example, to
    determine the number of child slides contained by parent
    slide), or to navigate
    between slides in a slide presentation (for example, to
    create "Next slide" and
    "Previous slide" buttons).
    You can also use the built-in behaviors that are available
    in the Behaviors
    panel to control slide presentations. For more information,
    see Adding controls
    to screens using behaviors (Flash Professional only) in Using
    Flash.
    Thanks,
    Chris S.

    Hi Chris,
    You cannot access the methods of the Flash 8 movie from Flex.
    And you can't do it the other way around either.
    The only way to communicate is to create a LocalConnection on
    each side.
