Hi All,
I need some decent add-ins for outlook mobile. The limitations of this program baffle me! Does anyone know where I could get some decent add-ins that would allow me to flag messages etc. or is there a different email manager you recommend?
Ta
Which OS are you using? WM5 or WM6? In WM6, Pocket Outlook does a lot more...
WM6 . . . but it doesnt seem to have` much added functionality?
I've been looking for how to flag my outlook emails and it says it's now supported in WM6 and I've even found sites with screenshots showing a 'Follow-up' option that when you select a email appears in the menu.
However I don't see it in my menu and the best reason I can come up with is that it requires the Exchange Server be running the 2007 version and I think my office is still running 2003.
Can anyone confirm, Exchange 2007 is a requirement to be able to see the Follow-up > Flag options appear in our menu?

Hi. Yes.. I'm using Exchange 2007 and you can flag messages in your inbox for follow up (but you can't set any reminders - only flag the message).
You can also view your e-mail in HTML format.

Since I upgraded to WM6 I am not using it anymore but FLEXMAIL 2007 might be able to help you out? Link: http://www.pocketinformant.com/products_info.php?p_id=mail&dir=wm
Ditto that for FlexMail 2007 - works great for me
Hey, I was wondering if anyone knows how to make the sprint touch pro compatible to a work account? I contacted the people that handle the work email accounts and they said my phone isn't a supported device but the blackberry is so I thought there might be a way to make it so I can get my work email. Also, how do I go about removing my hotmail account from my email, I have tried but not had luck. If this is easy, I apologize in advance but I am new to all of this.
Have you tried Blackberry Connect?
I have and I absolutely can not get it to work on Sprint.
Anyone been able to get Blackberry Connect software to work on a Sprint TP?
I have tried everything available at http://www.sems.org/entry.asp?ENTRY_ID=276 and several versions that are not there as well. Someone has go to be able to solve this issue...

By work e-mail are you referring to an Exchange Server? If so, all you have to do is set up the e-mail account via Active Sync (on your device, not the PC). You will need certain information such as Username, Password, Domain (Name of the server), and server address (ie webmail.yourcompany.com).
I have never tried BB Connect, but it can't hurt to try it out.
Good luck!

Some companies, like mine unfortunately, fall for the Blackberry Enterprise Server propaganda and opt to manually disable the OTA Exchange Server connection and instead force all mobile devices to connect through BES... The big problem is that Blackberry devices suck, as recognized by Blackberry, for which they created Blackberry Connect Software so that your WinMo phone can connect to BES. My problem is that Sprint will not allow me to add Blackberry Service to my WinMo phone... So I am trying to find out if anyone knows a way around this? I am sure there are some Sprint pros here.

Just ask your IT department to set you up for pop3 or IMAP.
A company that disables OTA Exchange server access and forces Blackberry would never go for IMAP or POP....

Not true, I know firsthand... Besides, it wouldn't hurt to ask them.
Can you access your Exchange server via the web? If you can access owa.<yourcompanyname>.com to get your email via a browser then you can setup Active Sync on your device.
I am using my Sprint Touch Pro to get my Exchange mail/appts/tasks. Our official policy is that only BB are supported but it doesn't necessary mean that you can't use it. What I had to do was install a couple of certs to allow syncronization but you may not need to - depending on what CA your company is using.

I do have access to owa.mycompany.com, I have grabbed the cert from this site and attempted to connect this way, however, there is no documentation out there for how to do this, so I may have done it incorrectly. Can you detail how you did this?

PM me your owa.<yourcompany>.com address (if you are not comfortable with posting it here) and I will take a look at the certs information that your company is using and walk you through it. If you can access owa site, you should be able to sync with no issues.
System SEVEN
I had the same issue, unable to connect my Sprint Touch Pro to my company Exchange server. The IT department wouldn't budge on granting me access.
I now use System SEVEN 'Out of Office' since January and haven't looked back; It works perfectly for me and syncs everything. Check it out at www.seven.com.
what do i need to do to set up my work email on my touch pro... and where do i get the correct certs from?.
bump... i still need help w/ this! anyone please?
Can you tell me what error are you getting when you set up your exchange sync?
Edit: If your error with missing certificates, then by looking at your owa site I can tell that you need to have these public certificates installed: click here to download
Download the file above, unzip it and you will see three verisign certs. Copy them onto your phone and click on each to install them. Try to sync to your server and let me know what happens.
Hello.
My workplace currently does not support the Android platform, and thus I cannot access the Microsoft Exchange server/Activesync from my phone.
Have any apps been developed that would possibly disguise my phone as an iPhone, or something similar, so I can receive e-mail via mobile? iOS is currently the only mobile platform they support, so that'd most likely be the easiest work-around.
I know someone who works in the data center, and he showed me the script they run every week to check if anything other than iPhones have accessed the server, which they then have the option to boot/wipe memory as needed.
Any suggestions are welcome!
You might try Touchdown. There is a 30 day trial.
@ejsholly: Which Android release are you running?
@Anthodk: Touchdown worked as a charm with 2.3.3 on my Desire. Native ICS Exchange works fine here.
The main thing with Touchdown, is that you can choose exchange server 2003/2007 as protocol, instead of active sync, if this for some reason (IT management decision) had been disabled.
Hi,
My company does not allow android client to connect to the exchange and if I try I get a message that android device are not allowed but only windows phone
Is there any android mail client that can change its "user-agent" in order to simulate connection from a windows phone ?
Regards
I would like to use an android as a Windows 10 PC terminal. I'm using a Samsung Fold3 running Android 12 if it matters. It seems like a fairly simple process. Enable Remote Desktop on the Windows 10 PC. Make sure the PC's firewall (and virus protection software) passes Remote Desktop access. Install Remote Desktop Client on the Android and setup the connection to the PC.
The Remote Desktop Client sees the PC, fills in the active user account and requests the user password. I can enter the password but the android does not respond to the "Continue" button and all I can do is cancel out of it. I can also try to edit the PC configuration to setup a user account so that a password does not need to be entered each time but in this case the save button is unresponsive whether or not a password is entered.
This same thing happens whether I select the PC found on the local wifi or I enter the PC's IP address manually (with or without the 3389 port number).
Can anyone give me a clue as to what I'm doing wrong or how to proceed?
Sorry. User error. I was doing something stupid.
Never mind.

Thanks for the link.
My initial problem was just a usage error getting Microsoft Remote Desktop Client to work when on the same network. I fixed that issue and am able to use it to control my PC from an android as long as I'm on the same local network which is useful but I would also like to be able to do it from anywhere on the internet.
Your link led to a discussion of this issue with the possibility of using port forwarding or a VPN to allow access to my PC from an external network with varying degrees of complexity and hacking potential.
The link also discussed using chrome and a google account to access my PC remotely. This is unacceptable because I won't use chrome and have uninstalled it from all my android devices plus although I do have a Google account, I only use it to explicitly download apps from the store and otherwise disable Google Play Services and the Google Play Store and will not use any app that requires Google Play Services to function. So this option is out.
The final option requires me to create an account at a third party site and presumably direct all of my traffic through this third party. This too is unacceptable to me.
So the question is, is there a simpler method to access my PC from an android device that's on a different network than having to setup a vpn or enabling port forwarding on my router, that doesn't require registering for and using a third party service to accomplish the goal?
