Just installed v2.5, a few things I've noticed.
1. I've never yet been able to upgrade from a previous version of MfE. We've used v2.1.0, 2.2.0 & 2.3.0 each time we've had to uninstall the previous version before the new version installs, the install progress bar gets about half way, hangs for a few minutes, then errors with 'installation failed'. This still happens on the new 2.5.0 version. This happens on all our E50, E51, & E61i phones.
2. Having installed v2.5.0 I notied the Out-of-office menu item was missing from the profile. We don't use Exchange 2007, yet, we're still on 2003, so I wasn't expecting Out-of-office to work, but I did expect to see the option there available to setup. Does anyone know if this option is hidden until you first sync with a 2007 server? Also, does anyone know why this option wouldn't work with a 2003 server? We use Out-of-office all time time between Outlook 2003 & Exchange 2003, and you can use it between Outlook 2003 & Exchange 2007, so it is supported on the Exchange 2003 side. I can't see why it wouldn't support this option for MfE.

What is the total space Update Rollup 7 For Exchange 2010 SP3 (KB2961522) will take after installation?

Quick question.
What is the total space Update Rollup 7 For Exchange 2010 SP3 (KB2961522) will take after installation?

Hi
Your question is a big vague. Extracting the rollup will use some space but you can delete the files afterwards.
Are you concerned about space while installing? If you have adequate space it shouldnt be a problem.
Hope this helps. Please remember to click “Mark as Answer” on the post that helps you, and to click “Unmark as Answer” if a marked post does not actually answer your question. This can be beneficial to other community members reading the thread.
I am asking space after installation, it will definitely install some files so how much space extra space it needed in exchange directory drive.

Is the N97 Mail for Exchange or MfE 'provisionable...

Background info: I used to carry two phones, the N95 and the E51. Before MfE 2.0 came out, MfE was not installable on the N95 (or any N series phones). So I bought the E51 so that I can use MfE to have my corporate mail pushed to me. Today, I'm the proud owner of the N97, with MfE 2.9.176 installed. No more carrying 2 phones, and everything is synchronizing just fine.
Last week, my company announced a new policy regarding mobile devices. Soon, they will enforce new security policies as available in Exchange 2003 SP2. This really got me worried, because I spent quite a lot of money in investing in the N97!
We all know that Nokia states that only the E series devices fully support all security policies of Exchange servers. (Nokia calls this 'provisionable' versus 'non-provisionable' devices.) But here's the kicker. In the Mail for Exchange Guide for Administrators (http://nds1.nokia.com/phones/files/guides/MfE_admin_guide_140709.pdf), in chapter 2, section 2, part 1 titled "Are your devices 'provisionable'?", it states the following:
Eseries devices are provisionable
Nseries devices previous to S60 3.0 Feature Pack 2 (FP2) are not provisionable
Nseries devices after S60 3.0 FP2 may be provisionable
Supported devices not designated Eseries or Nseries may or may not be provisionable.
Well, that is kind of some good news. But it left out key information regarding my N97, specifically S60 5.0. Does anyone know if the N97 can be categorized together with those Nseries devices "after 3.0 FP2"? Or can anyone identify specifically what security policies/features are provisionable in the N97 device? This is important because I need to make the case with the IT management to put me in the exception list, if at all possible. But I don't want to stir up anything until I know exactly what can or cannot be done with the N97. This will be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.

Not only is Nokia's myriad of different web sites each requiring its own login credentials, they also have a myriad of places to go get software. I have always thought that http://www.businesssoftware.nokia.com will have all the latest enterprise software coming from Nokia, but no, that is not the case. It turns out that http://europe.nokia.com/get-support-and-software/download-software/mail-for-exchange is the place to get the latest version. Just select your device, and it'll give you the download link for the latest.
Just so you know, even http://www.businesssoftware.nokia.com doesn't have N97 listed as a device yet.
I really hope Nokia takes this consistency issue seriously just like how they're working on the consolidation of logins...

E51: Using Blackberry connect/Mail for Exchange

-If youre "always online," how long till your battery runs out of power? Mine is just 2 days tops!
-Have you experienced no sound alert when you receive emails via Blackberry/Mail for Exchange even though the Profile sound settings are appropriately set? What did you do to resolve?

You get 2 days???...impressive.
I'm always on from 7am-7pm and if I talk for anymore than 30 minutes during that day I've got charge the phone at 4pm so it will be usable for the night. It is 4 months old and I don't use anything else during the period (no blue tooth, no wifi).
As for the sound alert I get this too. At night when synch is every 30 minutes if I take the e-mail in outlook the phone will pick iot up at synch time and flash the light as a new e-mail, but play no sound.
It sometimes does the same during the always on period. It is not constant so I haven't looked into it much, but I've noticed once it recieves one without sound it won't play a sound again for new e-mails until I unlock the keys and enter MfE..another annoyance.

Mail for Exchange and Ovi contacts update help for...

How do I remove these update requests I don't use MFE (and have removed from phone) and don't even have or want Ovi Contacts but Nokia App Update keeps requesting I update them.
thanks

If you cannot remove an app from the phone, the app updater will always ask to update. There is no way around that.
It looks like you may be able to remove Mail for Exchange, though I do not recommend it. To do so, open the MfE folder, highlight it and choose options/organize/remove.
For Ovi Contacts, go to settings/application manager/installed files.... highlight Contacts on Ovi, then options/uninstall.
I don't use these either, but am reluctant to remove them when I don't know what the consequences might be. Proceed at your own risk.
If I have helped you with your problem in some way, please take a little time and hit the kudos button in my post. Without your feedback, I don't know if I am being helpful or should just be put out to pasture.

Mail For Exchange - Compatability/Downloads menu i...

Using N79
SW 31.002.205.4.
Up until this morning running MfE 2.9.158. Just been offerred 2.9.160 via App.Update. Post install check indicates this has been available for months - why the delay in pushing it through to App.Update?
MfE 2.9.160 still not fixed old issue of being unable to open MfE settings following phone restart - why not? - threads dating back to 1st quarter 2009! but this one explains the issue precisely:
/t5/Messaging-Email-and-Browsing/Mail-for-Exchange-corrupted/m-p/603626/highlight/true#M21922
It's the only app on my phone that cannot be routinely opened - not good.
Notwithstanding this idiosyncrasy email syncing is more hit than miss but falls way short of my iPod touch which is 100% rock solid regarding Exchange compatability. Does Nokia want Exchange Server based customers- my guess is not enough. Generally speaking if I notice emails hitting my iPod but not my N79 it's time for a phone restart. But that kills the ability to open MfE settings So it's back to a re-install.
If the above isn't bad enough Nokia has just made it worse. This "current" link from the N79 support page is dead;
http://businesssoftware.nokia.com/mail_for_exchange_downloads.php
and after much dead-ending find that the Ovi Store now contains MfE - no problem with that it makes sense to consolidate. But no mention of N79 being supported by the latest greatest MfE and Ovi only lists 3.0 as supporting FP1 phones - so wht about FP2?
Is my N series phone supported anymore - I've got no idea.
Wake up Nokia it's 2010 not 1990 - we shouldn't have to put up with this **bleep** in basic functionality.
Judging by lack of action over the past 12 months have no hope Nokia will put this right but that my dear Nokia is how you lose customers to your rivals Apple and RIM. Pull your finger out.

I'm hoping this fix works for me long term and post as is.
Multiple phone calls to Nokia Tier 1 and 2 phone support heavily supplemented by some determined Google searching led me to the following solution.
First off the bad news. To fix the MfE issue requires a hard reset of the device. There's no way around this so resign yourself to it early.
The good news however is you can dramatically reduce the time needed to return your device back to its pre-reset condition by backing up your device using Ovi Suite. Forget to do this and you'll be re-installing your apps one at a time.
My issue was made more difficult because the usual hard re-set code (*#7370 #) would not reset the device i.e. full recovery of phone memory, complete wiping of contacts etc. Ignoring Nokia's advice to return the phone for repair! I turned up an alternative method which achieved the hard re-set I was seeking.
As follows:
Hold these three keys down - *, 3 and green accept call - whie the phone is off, then power on keeping them depressed until the Nokia logo plays.
On the N79 this involves an usual amount of manual dexterity but nevertheless worked where the re-set code failed. Hopefully this won't be necessary for most users.
Once re-set you will be presented with the Set up menu as per a new phone.
With a fully recovered phone memory you can now restore your earlier backup via Ovi Suite, which for me did 90% of the work needed to get my phone back to its earlier personalised condition. I took the opportunity of checking for any programme updates of essential apps and updated as necessary. Re-installation of Speed Dial settings and permitted Bluetooth devices amongst other items was required but all in all all my data and file structure was faithfully restored first time around.
I am now running MfE 3.0 (actually 2.09.208 - see initial thread posting ) which Nokia support advise is not supported for the N79 - given the varying level of advice received I'm prepared to run with my own view that it works fine. If you wish to play safe you should be running 2.9.160.
I have re-booted the phone multiples times over the last two days and on only one occasion (which I'm going to pretend never happened) MfE has been rock solid. In addition Ovi Maps which had stopped opening - and was fundamentally what set me off down the road of a hard re-set - is now working perfectly.
I'm hoping this cures the irritating MfE problem long term pending Nokia sorting out whether they even support the N79 any longer as far as MfE is concerned.
As a sign off I will just say for my purposes the N79 is the best smartphone I've ever owned and supplemented with an iPod Touch is a fantastic work/play combination. If you are allowed tethering on your contract I contend Walking Hot Spot is THE killer app and so confident am I of my choice of phone I've just bought a second N79, at a much reduced price, which I'm going to use as a backup/extension to my existing N79 when it dies and goes to heaven.
Hope this post saves someone else some timeand effort.

Problem with mail for exchange after update on E72...

Hi everyone,
I updated Nokia E-mail to ver 3.9 on E72. Now I am facing a problem with mail for exchange. I have configured gmail on mail for exchange. I recieve a warning that "unable to sync contact administrator if problem persist". It started to pop up just after the update was over and is very frustrating. Even previously i used to recieve mails instantly but now it generally takes half an hour for me to recieve them. I deleted and created mail for exchange several times but to no avail.
Also i am not able to automatically recieve mails other emails which i have configured. every time I have to manually download them everytime.
Can anybody suggest a way out.
Thanks
Anil

It could be a problem if you're using your network's connections...
I was on a Pay & Go tariff with o2 some time ago, and needed secure connections for various things, o2 told me they didn't provide secure connections on Pay & Go tariffs...
Could be worth checking with them to make sure it's supported.

N9 after PR 1.2 update - Mail for Exchange is sync...

I have a problem with my N9 Meego after 1.2 update. I have mail for exchange account talking with exchange 2010 server and sync works just just fine with calendar and e-mail. Contacts on otherhand doens`t work. It says its bringing contact like 78 from mail for exchange but when its done you can`t see any.
i have done my account again many times but still contacts aren`t working. Should I do some hardreset but does that uninstall PR 1.2 update?
Help is needed or any ideas what could be done?
-mika

Hey mate, As far as I am aware there is no going back from PR 1.2, so you could try hardreset without concern of loosing this update. Keep in mind you are likely to lose data, so make sure you back it up first.
I am sure of this, as I have tried to go back to PR 1.1 to get my mail exchange to work and even with trying to flash the device "downgrade disallowed" comes up and prevents me getting rid of the PR 1.2
You are luckier than me, I can't get mail, calender or contacts. I am so annoyed that I accepted the update. I am hoping that Nokia take note of this and fix the mail exchange in a new update

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.

No email body in mail for exchange? Nokia E52

On my Nokia E52 i have setup mail for exchange access to gmail, but all it seems to download is the header with who its from and the subject? There isnt any mention of the email body/message at all?
My contacts and calendar all sync properly.
Am i missing something? On my ipod touch it downloads the messages using the exact same account

Curious issue, on the 22nd January 2010, I also got a system message stating ‘Mail for Exchange – Your account does not have permission to synchronise with your current settings.' then a further message saying that the phone required a locking password etc. This resulted in the phone being locked before it could be opened.
I'm sure nothing changed on the local mail servers, so I wonder what has changed on the Mail For Excange settings?

Asha 300 and Mail for Exchange error - will not in...

Hi there,
I have just purchased an Asha 300 to trial Mail for Exchange, however every time I try to install Mail for Exchange I get the error message "You are running an unsupported OS version. Please upgrade to OS14.53 or later". When I try to do a software update from the Nokia Suite it says there are no updates available and the software version in v07.57.
On the Mail for Exchange application it clearly says that the Asha 300 is a compatible device.
Has anyone come across this before, or any ideas how to get it working?
Thanks in advance.

Please, have a look at the 7-letter code printed on your device (product code). That determines the firmware variant you have. And the firmware variant determines which updates you get. Consequently, what is your product code?

E75 Mail for Exchange - absolutely useless

Hi all,
This is a rant, a big one.
I have been a loyal Nokia user since I was 18 (I'm in my mid 30's now). The nature of my work denoted that it was time to get myself a 'push-mail' phone so when my contract was up with Optus. I opted for the E75. I contemplated a Blackberry (as this is what most of my colleagues use) but being a loyal Nokia user and comfortable with their menus, I thought I would try this new phone. After all, there had been a massive advertising blitz throughout the Australian print media, online and television spruiking the qualities of this phone, specifically it being an "email on your mobile" type of handset. This was about a month and a half ago.
As our IT guy at work was on leave I set the E75 up with my gmail account (and just set work email on autoforward to gmail). It worked like a dream for about three days when it suddenly dropped out. The following day email worked fine ...then dropped out ....then worked fine ...then dropped out for two days. This pattern continued for a week (despite my reconfiguring the settings in-line with advice from both Nokia and Optus technicians AND performing hard resets). In short, the 'email' software on the E75 just plain DOES NOT WORK.
I returned the handset to the store where I got it from and they exchanged it for a new E75. Exactly the same problems as before. I experimented with setting it up with different types of email (hotmail, yahoo, work etc) and the same thing happened. Email would work fine and dandy for a couple of days then it would drop out for half a day or more. The nature of my work denotes that if I put my email address out there and tell colleagues they can get me on my phone, then my phone better work. As such, I stopped giving people the expectation that they could email me on my mobile and to simply call me or SMS me if they needed me.
I have now sought to have this handset returned and am trying to switch my contract over to a Blackberry. The guys at the store where I contracted with Optus have been pretty helpful as they themselves have had numerous problems with the E75 and angry customers. The Optus business managers themselves are apparently refusing to budge on this and as of this afternoon were saying they would not offer me an exchange (even if it meant I would contract for a more expensive phone, ie more money for them).
As such, I am considering my options.
*To lodge a complaint through a dispute resolution/consumer protection body like the NSW Dept of Fair Trading.
Ifyou have been supplied with a faulty product, this body investigates the situation persuant to the NSW Fair Trading Act. It is a bit hard to achieve an actual resolution for yourself here, you simply make a lot of trouble for the other side.
*To file a claim in the NSW Consumer Trader and Tenancy Tribunal.
Decisions here are binding. You would argue that you've been sold a dud product, the faults are easily demonstrable (google E75 email faults and your system will nearly crash due to all the results that come up). This is probably the best option for people without legal representation. It is quite an informal affair and 'equity' prevails usually.
*To file a claim in the NSW District Court against Optus for breach of contract.
I contracted for "email on my mobile" I didn't get that - there's a breach of a fundamental term. Basic common law contract law. There are no exclusion clauses or disclaimers that can negate such a fundamental breach. Nokia's extensive advertising and branding of this handset as an 'email phone' denote that if it is not fit for that purpose, then you have a breach of the contract. There's also a number of Fair Trading Act sections that are valid in the fitness for purpose respect.
*To file a claim in the Federal Court against NOKIA for breaching s 71 of the Trade Practices Act
As the Trade Practices Act is a federal act, it may be worth an action directly against the manufacturer on the grounds of 'fitness for purpose'. Nokia advertised this phone as an 'email phone', the numerous discussions here denote that there have been so many faults with their email software that the phone is clearly not fit for the purpose of being an email phone, certainly not when it only works half the time.
*To file a claim in the Federal Court against NOKIA for breaching s 52 of the Trade Practices Act
Here we are talking about 'Misleading and Deceptive Conduct'. On other discussion threads dealing with the E75 email faults, some users from Europe have reprinted responses they received from Nokia technicians where they were blatantly told that the E75 is "not a mail for exchange" phone and that faults are to be expected as the software is still in development. Per the ambit of s 52, this is clearly conduct that is LIKELY to mislead or decieve especially when viewed in the light that Nokia have promoted this phone as "email on your mobile" (implying solid reliability) not "email on your mobile half the time cos it only works sparingly because we haven't nutted out the software yet."
That last one is a biggie. IF Nokia were still developing their mail for exchange software and they knew it had bugs and was not reliable (certainly not for business use) then they should not have misled consumers into believing that this phone was the "Blackberry Killer". Their advertisements on the back page of Sydney's 'Good Weekend' certainly fooled me into thinking it was. Of course, people say that I should simply just cough up another $40 of my own money and download RoadSync so I have a reliable mail for exchange program that actually works. This isn't the point. Nokia have put a very faulty product on the market, there seems to be a lot of disconnect between their marketing of the product and what their technicians say it is capable of. As such, I will be demanding a full and fair exchange of this handset with a Blackberry.
Bryan.

I'm not entirely sure what you are trying to do here.
Mail for Exchange - works with Microsoft Exchange Servers only.
It doesn't work with Yahoo! Gmail or any other mail service because its "Mail for EXCHANGE"
"Mail for Exchange is preintegated to Nokia E75, Nokia E72, Nokia E55, Nokia E52, Nokia N86 8MP and Nokia 6710 Navigator"
Taken from: http://europe.nokia.com/find-products/nokia-for-business/software/email-and-instant-messaging/mail-f...
In fact its more compatible with a pre-installed device such as the E75 than any of the other symbian devices that it will operate with.
The program uses the Microsoft Exchange Activesync service to push mail to your handset, this needs to be set up correctly by your companies IT department with the correct heartbeat intervals etc.
I have MfE working fine on my E71, whilst its not the same device the software works well and the push mail function is great.
I have had one or two problems, that the latest version of MfE has exhibited but there is a big thread here /discussions/board/message?board.id=messaging&thread.id=13370
Which details some problems and resolutions.

E65 Mail for exchange - Delay in opening email

Hi, I have been using the Mail for Exchange V2.02 on my Nokia E65 to connect with my Exchange Mail server for downloading my emails. I do a manual synch for downloading emails.
Whenever I try to open a new email that has downloaded, the phone shows me a message saying "Opening" and it takes atleast 2 minutes to open the message and show me the details. This delay happens only for the first email that is viewed, all subsequent emails open instantly.
Can someone help why it is taking so much time to open an email?
Rgds,
Kunal

I also rang Nokia phone support for this issue, and they were remarkably unhelpful.
All they said was there is a security issue on the certificate.
When asked how to change the security on the certificate?
Response was something along the lines of they can't tell me because their support services do not cover changing security of certificates.
When I asked where I could find that information?
They couldn't tell me because their support doesn't cover chaging certificate security.
Surely someone in Nokia knows how to do it! Why supply the program that allows security but doesn't work with it?!?
The other option was to purchase 3rd party certificates, but then you have replace your current certificate everywhere it is used with this 3rd party one. Why pay for something that is built into Exchange?
Very frustrating.
Like you, Exchange on our work mobiles is a far cheaper option that Blackberry, so if we can get it to work, a lot more of us will be moving to Mail for Exchange.
We were actually looking at the e65 for all our business phones but after testing one, there is no point because the major drawing point doesn't work properly.

C6-00 mail for Exchange account consumes a lot of ...

Hi all,
I'm trying to set up push mail for my gmail account. I have tried RoadSync application and built-in 'Mail for Exchange' account in my phone. While RoadSync after one hour of instance connection consumes about 100kB of transfer built-in account consumes mega bytes of transfer. It activates connection every 10-20 sec and send and receive data. In both cases I didn't receive any new message.
Does anyone of you has the same problem and can explain me why my phone is updating all the time? Push mail suppose to receive data only when new email is on my inbox, not all the time. Do you know how to reduce this data consumption? I don't care if my phone reads a lot of data because I have unlimited Internet but it also takes a lot of battery and that's my major problem.
Thanks in advance for your help
Regards,
JaCKubi

I had this same problem with my C6-00 and my older E71. I could not get GMail to successfully syncronise using Nokia Mail for Exchange.
I ended up purchasing another client from the Ovi Store (RoadSync) which works perfectly.
I am not pleased that Nokia's client doesn't work with my service, but the RoadSync client was quite cheap (US$6.60) and hasn't failed me once.
