You can then select the desired number or contact from the filtered list to dial.
Smart Dialing panel
Tips on using Smart Dialing
Smart Dialing starts looking for numbers or contacts that match the sequence you have entered. Below are
some tips on how to use Smart Dialing to quickly find a desired phone number or contact.
To find a phone number:
Simply enter the first one or two digits to find a phone number in Call History.
Enter the first three digits or more if you want to find a phone number from the saved contacts on
your device.
To find a contact name:
You can just enter the first letter of a contact’s first name or surname. Smart Dialing will search for the letter
starting from the first character of a contact name as well as from the character that appears after a space,
dash, or underscore in a contact name. For example, if you tap number “2” which is associated with [a, b, c]
on the Phone keypad, contact names such as the following will be considered matches: “Ben Miller,” “George
Adams,” “John-Carter,” “Carter, Ellen,” “Dixon, Allan,” “Thomas_Clark,” “JaneCampbell.”
If the matching list is long and you want to narrow down the search further, enter another letter. Using the
same example above, if you continue to tap “3” which is associated with [d, e, f], the matching list will be
narrowed down to the following names: “Ben Miller,” “George Adams,” “Carter, Ellen,” “Dixon, Allan.”

addresses, instant messaging (IM) names, company and home addresses, and information such as a job title,
birthday, and a lot more. You can also add a picture and assign a ringer to an Outlook contact.
Windows Live contacts. Contacts that you communicate with using Windows Live Messenger or MSN.
Just like Outlook contacts, you can also enter complete information for a Windows Live contact. For more

Working With Company Email
8.1 Synchronizing Your Device with the Exchange Server
To keep up-to-date with your company email and meeting schedules while you’re out of the office, you can connect
your device to the Internet wirelessly and synchronize this information with your company’s Exchange Server.
You can also access your company address book anytime. Your company must have a mail server that is running
Microsoft Exchange Server with Exchange ActiveSync.
Setting Up an Exchange Server Connection
Before you can start to synchronize with or access information from the Exchange Server, you need to set up
an Exchange Server connection on your device. You need to get the following information from your network
administrator and enter it on your device:
Exchange Server name (must be the Outlook Web Access server name)
Domain name
User name and password that you use at work
If you have not synchronized your device with your PC, follow these steps to set up an Exchange Server
connection.
2.Enter the E-mail address and Password for the email account and select the Save password option. Tap
Next.
3.Clear the Try to get e-mail settings automatically from the Internet option and tap Next.
4.In Your e-mail provider, select Exchange server and tap Next.
5.Tap Next again.
6.Select the Attempt to detect Exchange Server Settings automatically option and tap Next.
7.Enter the Domain name and tap Next.
8.In Server address, enter the Exchange Server address and tap Next.

information types for synchronization, you must first clear the E-mail check box under the Windows PC
item before you can select E-mail under Exchange Server.
To change Exchange Server settings, open ActiveSync on your device, and then tap Menu > Configure Server.
88 Section 8: Working With Company Email and Meeting Appointments
Starting Synchronization
Before you start synchronizing with the Exchange Server, make sure your device has been set up with a data
connection to the Internet so that you can synchronize wirelessly. For more information about connections, see
Section 10.
After you finish setting up an Exchange Server connection, your device automatically starts synchronization.
You can manually start synchronization anytime by tapping Sync in ActiveSync.
Note:
If you connect your device to your office computer via a USB or Bluetooth connection, you can use
this connection to the PC to “pass through” to the network and download Outlook email and other
information to your device.

8.2
Your device gives you instant access to your company email and lets you manage your messages more easily. Direct
Push, Fetch Mail, remote email search, and email flags are just some of the tools you can use to manage your email.
Working With Company Email
Note:
Some messaging features depend on the Microsoft Exchange Server version used in your company.
Please check with your network administrator for the availability of these features.
Automatic Synchronization Using Direct Push
Direct Push technology (push email feature) enables you to receive new email on your device as soon as it
arrives in your Inbox on the Exchange Server. With this feature, items such as contacts, calendar appointments,
and tasks are also immediately updated onto your device when these items have been changed or new entries
have been added on the Exchange Server. To make Direct Push work, you need to have a data connection on your
device.
You need to perform a full synchronization between your device and the Exchange Server first before Direct Push
can be enabled.
Note:
To enable Direct Push via Comm Manager:
1.Tap Start > Settings > Connections tab > Comm Manager.
2.On the Comm Manager screen, tap the Microsoft Direct Push button.
To enable Direct Push via ActiveSync:
1.In ActiveSync on your device, tap Menu > Schedule.
The Direct Push feature works for your device only if your company is using Microsoft Exchange Server
2003 Service Pack 2 (SP2) with Exchange ActiveSync or higher version.
2.Select As items arrive in the Peak times and Off-peak times boxes.
90 Section 8: Working With Company Email and Meeting Appointments
Scheduled Synchronization
If you do not want to use Direct Push, you can set a regular schedule for synchronizing Outlook email and
information. Set how often to synchronize during peak times (which usually refer to your working hours) when
email volume is high, as well as off-peak times when email volume is low.
1.In ActiveSync on your device, tap Menu > Schedule.
2.Select a shorter time interval in the Peak times box to check for email messages more often during peak
times.
3. Select a longer interval in the Off-peak times box to check for email messages less often during off-peak
times.
Tip:
To set the days and hours that make up your peak and off-peak times, tap Adjust peak times to fit your
schedule.
Instant Email Downloads Using Fetch Mail
The Fetch Mail feature downloads an entire email message immediately without the need for you to perform a
full Send/Receive action. This limits the download to just the email message that you want and helps conserve
bandwidth.
Note:
1.Tap Start > Programs > Messaging > Outlook E-mail.
2.Tap an email message to open it.
3.By default, only the first few kilobytes of the message are shown. To download the whole message, scroll
to the bottom of the message, and then tap Get the rest of this message.
4.A “Downloading message” notice appears. Wait for the remainder of the message body to be
downloaded.
Tip:
Fetch Mail works for your device only if your company is using Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 or
higher.
For information about changing email sync options such as the initial download size limit for email,
see “Customizing Email Settings” in Section 7.
Searching for Email on the Exchange Server
You can access messages that are not available on your device by searching your Microsoft Exchange Server
mailbox. The search results will be downloaded and displayed in a Search Results folder.
Note:
1.Tap Start > Programs > Messaging > Outlook E-mail.
2.Tap Menu > Tools > Search Server.
3.In the Look for text box, enter the search keyword.
4.Choose the date range for messages to search.
5.From the Look in list, choose whether to search from your inbox
or outbox only or to search all folders.
6. Tap Search.
Your company must be using Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 or higher.
Section 8: Working With Company Email and Meeting Appointments 91
Flagging Your Messages
Flags serve as reminders to yourself to follow up on important issues or requests that are indicated in the
messages. Flagging messages, which has been a useful feature on desktop Outlook Email, can also be done in
Outlook Mobile on your device. You can flag received messages on your device.
Note:
To flag or unflag a message:
1.Tap Start > Programs > Messaging > Outlook E-mail.
2.Select a message, or open a message.
3.Tap Menu > Follow Up and select one of the following options:
Flags are enabled only if email messages are synchronized with Microsoft Exchange Server 2007
or higher. Flags are disabled or hidden if email messages are synchronized with earlier versions of
Microsoft Exchange Server.
Set Flag. Mark the message with a red flag
to indicate that it needs follow-up action.
Complete Flag. Mark the message with a
check mark to indicate that the issue or
request in the email is already completed.
Clear Flag. Remove the flag to unmark the
message.
Note:
Email message reminders are displayed on your device if the messages are flagged with reminders and
synchronized from the Exchange Server.
Out-of-Office Auto-reply
Outlook Mobile allows you to retrieve and change your out-of-office status. Just like desktop Outlook Email,
Outlook Mobile automatically sends an auto-reply message when you’re not available.
To send out-of-office auto-reply messages:
1.Tap Start > Programs > Messaging > Outlook E-mail.
2.Tap Menu > Tools > Out of Office.
3.From the I am currently list, select Out of the Office.

document located on SharePoint or an internal file server, you can view the document on your device.
Note:
1.Tap Start > Programs > Messaging.
2.Select an email account, and then open a message with a link to a SharePoint document.
3.Tap the link to open and view the document.
