Right, the boss was moaning that he wanted to be able to get his e mails on the move. I suggested a blackberry, but because his son has an iPhone which "works great"....he wanted one too.
I'm trying to set it up with our exchange server to that he can access his mail etc....and i'm going no where fast! I keep getting a load of error messages.
For example, when i set his account up on the phone, it keeps coming back to me telling me that the password is wrong...even though i know its right and have tested it. There are other errors also.
Has anyone else on here set an iPhone up with exchange before?
Another thing. I dont have total and complete control over which ports we have open and closed etc...thats handled by our ISP (i work in a school btw).
We have OWA set up and working and i can access that from remote locations using a the domain name email.xxxhenryxxxxxx.hull.xxx.uk/exchange (i've put the x's in for security)

OWA is completely different to what you need.
Off the top of my head, you need IMAP enabled on the exchange server.
You will also need to get the IMAP port forwarded on your router to your server.

IMAP is enabled and the service is started on the Exchange Server.
Didnt know i had to forward anything. Why is it that Apple potray the image of "it'll just work out the box" when clearly it wont. Cunts
Saying that OWA was working was just to prove that i had a route into my exchange server from the outside world.

we had the same thing the other week, only it was the bosses wife. Couldn't get it to work (though I wasn't really trying, my boss was) so we pointed it at the OWA instead and she was happy as larry, even bought us a big tub of quality street for our trouble

Pointed it at OWA? Please tell me how you did this....was it just using the Safari Browser?

Yep, looks like port 143 is the issue. I've just tried to telnet into our Exchange Server on that port and its given me a metaphorical "fuck off!"

This might be teaching Granny to suck eggs, but have you tried the stuff on here?

Seems to think it only needs port 443 open.
ActiveSync on my Windows Mobile points to the OWA address, without the /exchange bit if that's any help.

Yes; we just used OWA as you would on any PC, worked fine.
Obviously not ideal, but it was a quick simple solution for us, rather than tearing apart Exchange.
Yes I believe IMAP is port 143.
