Mail for Exchange - special characters (umlaut) in...

Hi,
I have several usernames with german umlaut-characters (ü, ä, ö, ß). These usernames are not able to logon within Mail for Exchange. Is there any hint?
M4E 1.06
E60 3.0633.09.04

Do you mean that you can not enter the characters in the username field or that it just doesn't work when you do?
Which language are you using the phone in? Which language is Mail for Exchange in?

Signature in Mail for Exchange

I recently updatet the firmware at my Nokia N73 to latest version (V 4.0839.42.2.1) which forced me to reinstall Mail for Exchange.
After this update (Mail for Exchange ver. 2.07.000) I am only able to use a signature in outgoing mails limited to 75 characters.
I haven't noticed this limit within earlier versions of the software, is it possible to increase this limit in some way?
Thank you for your help.

currently, the email does not put the sent messages into the server sent folder for imap/exchange/pop email.
this is something that i did bring up to the collaberation manager for maemo SW at the CTIA show.
n900 also does not cache the email on the phone, so it always has to update the folders.
his suggestion to cc yourself is currently the only way to do so, or you can just go into the sent folder on your n900 and then menu/move messages/"choose messages"/"choose folder"
i do not know about the signiture for the MFE

Problem with special characters (umlaut)

Hi,
I have a text box in my form.
when I am entering the normal characters it working fine and the values are
persisting quiet well in the database but when I am entering special characters (umlaut characters),
it is not storing them properly in the database.
I have checked in the logs at the application server side and the problem is while getting the values from
the request. The JSP which is submitting the request I have explictly put the following line:
request.setCharacterEncoding("iso-8859-1");
But this also not seems to be working.
Could you please let me know the resolution of this problem.
Thanks in advance
Amit

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
I have checked the database and there is no problem there.
To check if I am getting the correct values from the JSP I have put the following code in my action class:
                              if(columnName.equalsIgnoreCase("REMARKS"))
                                   log.debug("Character Encoding value of � is "+Character.getNumericValue('�'));
                                   log.debug("Character Encoding value of � is "+Character.getNumericValue('�'));
                                   log.debug("Character Encoding value of � is "+Character.getNumericValue('�'));
                                   log.debug("Character Encoding value of � is "+Character.getNumericValue('�'));
                                   log.debug("Character Encoding value of � is "+Character.getNumericValue('�'));
                                   log.debug("Character Encoding value of � is "+Character.getNumericValue('�'));
                                   String str = value.toString();
                                   char[] remarkArray = new char[str.length()];
                                   str.getChars(0, (str.length()-1), remarkArray, 0);
                                   for (int i = 0; i < remarkArray.length; i++)
                                        log.debug("Encoding value of "+remarkArray[i]+" is "+Character.getNumericValue(remarkArray));
In the remarhs I am setting the value in the form as "��"
and I am getting the following in the logs:
Character Encoding value of ─ is -1
Character Encoding value of � is -1
Character Encoding value of ▄ is -1
Character Encoding value of � is -1
Character Encoding value of � is -1

C7 Mail for exchange not able to accept invitation...

I am not able to accept invitations via mail for exchange.
I see the icons in the incoming emails that it is a invitation but I am not able to accept it.
I can answer the email but not like on my 61i or N97 that I a accept/deny may emails.
In the product description the functionality is available but he button does not show up.
Any hints are appreciated.

Hi hypotenuse,
Thank you for looking at this forum. I will answer you question below, please let me give you the full picture first.
I am a business user and need the MfE urgently and so far I refused to buy a Apple or Google phone (data leaks). Based on Nokia's long experience, I don't understand is why the status of the MfE is so poor. Let me give you some examples:
1) Security Password
After activating MfE I was forced to set security password, including a letter. I thought it is a company rule, but IT department told me they are not requesting this. My colleague is using iPhone, he is not forced to use a letter.
2) Meeting Invitations can't be responded
I have seen you response and I am looking forward to see the next release very soon(?).
3) Hook-off
When the phone is locked by security password (default) and I receive a call I can't access telephony application, e.b. to mute the microphone or to turn on the speakers. I need to enter security password first which is painful.
Here is my wish list for enhacements:
a) Longer standby time. It seems that the phone is consuming a lot of energy in idle mode. I switched off all features, no screen saver, black screen, lowest screen brightness, GPRS only, manual sync only .... and max 3 days between recharging. Maybe not a MfE issue.
b) Simple switch for scheduled/manuel mode (due to a) - maybe via profiles? I think the profile concept has good potential.
c) Top level access to synchronisation command. Due to a) I use manual sync and it would improve usability to have direct access to the sync command. Today I need to open the Options menue and select Sync.Just as an idea, clicking 'Mail for Exchange' at the top could trigger sync.
d) Configurable character size in Mail. In most cases the displayed number of characters of the Email subject does not allow me to understand it. If I could choose a smaller character size of the subject only, I would not need to open the email.

N78 keypad Lock for Mail for Exchange (Numbers onl...

hi,
I have installed Mail for exchange on my phone and need to configure the lock code in order to use it as our exchange security policy. the problem is the Nokia only accepts numbers as password and not letters or special chars which violates our exchange policy and so the mail can not Synch.
Any one knows how to fix this issue?
Many thanks;

Mail for exchange settings on N97

I have a N97 which mail for exchange was working happily on, synchronizing mail, contact's and calendar. The world was a good place!
The screen broke and needed replacing on my N97 and I have set up mail for exchange again. Now when it downloads mail, it downloads all of the other outlook folders inside my inbox as well as my inbox. It never used to do this and indeed this is not what I want.
How can I get my N97 to just download the inbox rather than all of the folders within the inbox on outlook. There must be some settings either on the phone or in outlook which defines what is synced.

Maybe you had earlier Mail for Exchange v2.9 in use and after setting it up again, you have got the latest MfE 3.0 version. The new MfE 3.0 version has as a new feature the possibility to view the outlook subfolders. These are, however, not automatically synced unless you subscribe to them. The unsubscribed folders show the mark (x) in front of the folder name. After you subscribe to a folder, the (x) mark will disappear from the folder name.

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 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.
MP

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.

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.

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

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...

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 - 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!
Go to Solution.

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... :-(

Mail for Exchange System Error, try again later. F...

my E71 running S60 Mail For Exchange works fine for email, but as soon as we start syncing calendar, we get this error "System Error. Try again later"
i have researched further. The phone log shows the sync falls over on outlook recurring appointments. Some threads suggest the offending appts are those without end dates and adding them will fix it, but this is not correct. Our recurring appointments are created in Maximizer and synced to Outlook. They all have end dates which show in both Maximizer and Outlook.
The log message on phone is: "Failed to store calendar entry in device database". If you google that you come across the link to another thread
/discussions/board/message?board.id=messaging&thread.id=7858
where it seems that MFE simply does not work properly with Outlook calendar recurring appointments and no solution is offered by Nokia. E71's run Symbian S60 and Mail For Exchange is the Nokia offering, which appears to be a derivative of Roadsync. Both appear to have the same shortcoming. Even the latest MFE version, V2.09.158, contains the problem, as we just upgraded on phone to try for a fix.
We have a fleet of E71's, having reverted to Nokia from Win Mobile devices. We were even looking forward to N97's, but we are now planning to move back to a Windows Mobile device. At least we can see the calendar on these!
For now, we have to remove calendar syncing on phone and delete all calendar entries, so the phone again syncs for email and contacts.
Nokia, how about a FIX before your new generation of "Smart Phones" are consigned to the wastebin? Please don't just tell us to change a setting on the server, unless you know it works.
This is your last chance with us. Time is too precious to waste on dodgey software.

More info on this - the problem appears to relate to only Outlook 2007 and not XP.
