Mail for Exchange - Calendar Alarms Problem

Hi there,
I have MfE working brilliantly, but there is one small issue that is bothering me.
I also use PC Sync to syncronise with Outlook at home. Everything works fine, and I use Outlook at home to set up the majority of my appointments and these obviously get synced to my work exchange server.
The issue is that if I have an alarm set on one of these appointments and I "Dismiss" it at work, MfE then effectively deletes the original appointment and creates a new one without an alarm; rather than just modifying the existing one.
When I then syncronise at home it does the same and as the Nokia doesn't syncronise Categories I then lose my categories.
I have a feeling it is to do with the "owner" of the appointment on Exchange as appointments syncronised are owned and organised by myself whereas ones created directly on Outlook at work don't specify an organiser or owner.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Ian

Hi m4e_team_k,
Thanks very much for your response, I am grateful for your time.
I will describe how I use my phone so you should be able to better understand what I'm doing.
I use PC Sync to syncronise my phone with my Personal laptop on which I generally manage my calendar but it is NOT connected to an exchange server at all.
I use MfE to syncronise with the Exchange server at work as this is also required.
It seems that whenever any change is made on Exchange to an appointment (whether it be to change the category or even cancel an alarm or add notes to the description) MfE cannot syncronise the item, but instead it deletes the original on the phone and then creates a new one.
Now probably this would go unnoticed to most users, but PC Sync then does the same which causes me to lose my categories on Outlook on my Personal PC.
It seems that MfE cannot modify appointments, but simply deletes any changed ones and replaces with server copies.
Until recently I have used Sony Ericsson handsets and this set-up works flawlessly with these.
I have tried using RoadSync and this simply modifies the entries where there are changes rather than deleting and re-creating (but it is very resource-hungry). So it appears to be a flaw in MfE's implementation of syncronisation.
I appreciate your assistance.
Thanks,
Ian.

Mail for Exchange - calendar sync fails

Hi,
I upgraded recently my N73 with the latest release of the firmware and the latest release of Mail For Exchange.
Before that change, I had no problem to sync my mobile phone with our server Exchange 2007.
Unfortunately, after the upgrades, like many other people of this forum, I cannot succeed in synchronizing my calendar (it seems that my mobile phone is stuck in the endless loop). I've tried the various solutions written in the other posts of this forum but without success (define an end-date of recurring events, no blank event, ...).
Does anyone solved the issue ?
Thank you in advance !
FrolicFrog
Solved!

Hi,
I uninstalled the last release of MfE. I reinstalled an old version (2.05.003) and it worked immediately ! So many people are spending so much time with the last release trying to sync calendar... :-(

E72 Mail for Exchange calendar sync

I have problems with repeating calendar events.
Example:
I create event 1.6.2011, repeating every week for one year. I have set in phone to remove calendar events older than 3 week.
After 3 week from 1.6.2011 all events from that repeating meeting are deleted from phone, including events which are in future.
Does anyone has similar experiences?

Latest version for Nokia E72 is 83.003 or at least 071.004 depending on your region.
I suggest you update your phone since the version you are using have issues with Exchange 2010 server and does not support it properly
. version 071.004 and above have support for Exchange 2010
If you cant get this version I recommend that you contact a Nokia Care point and ask them to update your phone software

E61 - Mail for Exchange Calendar fault

Running latest version (1.3), able to fully sync email and contacts, but it fails to sync calendar, with not so helpful message of error in commuincation.
Any ideas?

I hvae been fighting this Issue for some time now.
I Have been runing the MfE on E50, E51, E65, E66 and N96 syncing towards an Exchange 2003 Std. with no problems Whatso ever... After upgrading to Exchange 2007 Std. Users are starting to experience the same Issue. Older Phones with old firmware and old MfE, are not affected... but the E51 fw 200 220 and 300 are having this issue..
the problem is quite annoying because I weren´t having any problems on my N96, but then suddenly the calendar fails..
TEmporary fix:
1: disable calendar sync.
2: do a sync.
3: enable calendar sync.. (initial setting can be "keep items on phone" or "delete items on phone")
then it will work for some time.. and then the problem will come back.-. (Frustrating!!)
I have been e-mailing NOKIA denmark AND Finland but they seems to more interested in redirecting my calls to Voice response systems..
And sending replies informing me that they REALLY DO CARE.. and Thait I´ll be contacted within 48 hrs..
I´ll keep You Posted..

N9 Mail for Exchange: Calendar sync incomplete

Hi all,
I've set my N9 (64 GB, PR1.3) to sync with Outlook Exchange 2010. Everything used to work nicely, but recently I discovered that not all calendar entries are synced to my device. Some appointments that show up in Outlook (and on other devices I sync with that account) simply do not show up on my N9.
So far I've tried deleting my MfE account on my N9 and the N9 account on the Exchange server and setting it all up again with a full new sync. Also I've played around with appointment details, but that doesn't make any difference.
Any solutions? Help is much appreciated.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

are these items more than 39 days from the current date?
if so, this is a bug that was introduced with pr1.3
it is really bad too, if you ask me. Makes planning ahead very difficult without using your webcalendar or outlook to see it.
you can enter the item in your n9, and you can still see it until you have a completed sync, then it disappears from your n9, but is still there. it will show up on your outlook. also, if you input it in outlook and you sync, it will show that you synced 1 item, but you will not be able to see it.
i found out 39 days because i put in a new entry, numbered, for each day and that was the last day that i was able to see consistantly.
if that is the case, then there is no way to fix it at the moment, but rest assured that you did not loose that appointment.

E60 Mail for Exchange Calendar Sync Issues

Hello all,
I'm able to sync my email, calendar and my contacts. However I've noticed that some of my calendar items have not been sync'd.
For instance, I might have A, B, C, D as appointments in the same day and in that order. I'll only have appointments A, C, D display on my E60.
Before anyone asks, I don't get any error messages and yes, I've checked the logs on the handset.
Any ideas?
Cheers, Krish.

Calendar Sync Problems with mail for exchange on e...

Hello!
I upgraded my Nokia e52 to Software version 033.002.216.01 but now I am unable to sync with my mail for exchange Calendar. Settings are correct (in calendar settings Default mailbox is Mail for Exchange and in Email settings Calendar sync is "Yes") and I am still able to sync e-mail, but not calendar items.
Can anyone help me with this issue? Does anyone have the same problem after software upgrade?

I haven't solve the problem yet. Waiting for new firmware, might be it will solve the problem...

Mail for Exchange outlook not syncing all calendar...

Hi,
Nokia E6 Anna using mail for exchange to sync outlook.com/hotmail calendar. Recently switched phone so would like my entire outlook.com calendar to appear on E6.
I added mail for exchange hotmail account to phone selecting email, calendar and contacts. However only recurring calendar entries sync. Old single appointments do not sync/appear on the E6. Why is that ?
Are there any specific calendar settings for mail for exchange ? Mail for exchange/settings has no mention of calendar.
I use hotmail connector to sync desktop outlook 2010 and outlook.com. Syncing calendar in nokia suite results in duplicate 'Mail for Exchange' calendars so no good.
If known issue that's OK. A solution would be good.
thanks,

I have solved this myself.

Calendar sync problem with Mail for Exchange

I have troubles syncing my calendar with Mail for Exchange.
I've configured MfE the same way I did on my N8-00 and it worked perfectly there. On my new N9 it just syncs Mail and the ToDo list of from the Exchange Server. Any suggestions what I am doing wrong?
Also, when I remove my MfE settings, the Calendars still are in the Calendar App. How can I delete them?

Hi,
There could be some problem with the contact sync, because you had synched with MFE . Remove the existing sync for Mail for exchange and then try creating a new sync and then check, That should maybe solve the issue.
I had mfe configured and then removed and now then i sync with the Address book and Ical. Seems to be working fine for me, just that i use a N95.
Hopefully it fixes, let me know the outcome.
Cheers
Sandy

Problem with Mail For Exchange over Nokia E7-00 (a...

Hi, I have a problem with my nokia E7-00 (Symbian Anna).
Until recently it worked fine with my terminal synchronization with GMAIL via Mail For Exchange.
I synchronized the mail (including folders / labels I have on my account), address book and calendar.
Suddenly, this synchronization does not work anymore, the mail is no longer recovered, the calendar does not show appointments and contacts are no longer synchronized.
Trying to send an email that works perfectly, but the mail is not saved in Sent folder on my nokia e7-00, also if I search on the remote server is a contact I found it perfectly.
In practice it seems that something in the synchronization mechanism does not work.
Do you have ideas on how to fix this problem?
Thanks in advance.

You may try rebooting the device to check if it works. If this did not help, you will have to re-setup outlook account on your device to get it worked.
Hope, this can resolve your issue.

Mail for Exchange, new task and calendar entries

Dear All,
I am having a wonderful time with a brand new E71 plus the latest version of Mail for Exchange (2.09.158 as per the info screen on the device). It syncs fine with a Exchange 2003 server in that contacts, tasks and calendar entries (it is not supposed to sync mail as well) are properly downloaded and changes made on the phone are replicated back to the server on the next sync. The fun starts when I create a new task or calendar entry on the phone: Those are not created on the server at all. Another problem is deleting a task on the phone that was created on the server. For some reason the deletion does not show up on the server as well and the task remains there until deleted via Outlook. Has anybody seen this kind of behaviour? I cannot debug anything on the server, since it is a hosted solution from an ISP. Neither can I sniff the network traffic, since that is SSL encrypted. Any tips and/or work arounds are greatly appreciated.
Best regards,

bump.
still the same even with the latest version.

N8 Mail for Exchange problem continues

I have PR1.2 and software version 014.002 on my UK O2 N8.
I was promised the recent firmware upgrade would resolve my on going Hotmail/Mail for Exchange problems. After an indeterminate time MfE on the N8 stops replicating mail and calendar with my hotmail account.
I still have my old 5800 set up and this never fails to replicate with hotmail so I know it's not a Microsoft or my configuration problem. As soon as I delete the settings on the N8 and recreate them it works fine for a while.
I use my hotmail/windows live for arranging appointments via the calendar so this issue is really naffing me off. Does anyone know of a resolution to this issue?
In the logs it reports
03/05/2011 16:47:35 PING Command Requested
03/05/2011 16:47:39 Error occurred during Ping.
03/05/2011 16:47:39 Exception during Ping.
when the failures start so I guess for some reason it's unable to ping the hotmail server for some reason, this occurs if it's over any wifi or the phone network, but works fine initially

I have this problem too. After a period of working fine MfE just stops working on my N8. Deleting the account and setting it up again used to work but now even this doesn;t seem to work and I cannot synch with my work exchange server.
Did you find a fix?

Mail for exchange problem / N97mini.

Now three months I encounter difficulties with integrated email client of my N97 mini. I create and use only mail for exchange profile, no IMAP no POP3, for reading, writing messages and synchronizing contacts, calendar to-do list with webmail server of my company.
Exact problem:
- stop regular synchronizing inbox folder when synch is done once. It is necessary phone to be restarted and then inbox can be updated.
- stop regular synchronizing subfolders unless phone is restarted and then can be updated once until next restart
- stop regular synchronizing sent folder, contacts, calendar, to-do list. Phone restart hot helps, it has to be removed mailbox and to be created it again then during initial synch everything going well.
There is no matter if the synchronizing is set to “always on”, “manual” or some interval time.
If phone soft is reinstalled or hard reset is performed then after creating a mailbox the problem is going to be resolved for first 10-15 minutes or sometime up to couple of hours and after that appears again.
In our company we use Nokia E52, N97 mini, E71, E72 but only people with N97 mini faced this problem. (People with E71 use installed Mail for Exchange 3.0, people with E52 and E72 used build-in mail client to create mail for exchange profile like us people with N97 mini)
As I wrote this problem appeared three months ago without any obvious reason. No phone update, no company mail server update.
I will appreciate any suggestion and thank you in advance.

Just for clarification soft is v.30.0.004

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.

E90 mail for exchange issue - spurious calendar en...

My Chief Exec uses an E90 to connect to an Exchange 2007 server, using Mail for Exchange.
Everything syncs ok but some of his calendar entries refuse to sync onto the phone so we can't guarantee that he has all his meetings available.
It does the same for 2.0.7 and 2.0.9
I moved his sim into a Palm Treo and the calendar picked up everything.
Any ideas?

Don't know if it helps but we were told that turning off Cached Exchange mode, in Outlook, resolves the issue. Only problem is that our exchange server is run by a third party company and Cached Echange mode is mandatory to using Outlook. You just get blocked if you haven't enabled it. Catch 22. Looks like it will be Smartphones for the whole of the my company. Thats a massive market that Nokia have just lost, considering that we are the third biggest employer in the world.
