Working With Company E-mails and

Meeting Appointments

7.1 Synchronizing with the Exchange Server

To keep up-to-date with your company e-mails and meeting schedules while you’re
out of the office, you can connect your device to the Internet through Wi-Fi or a
data connection and synchronize with your company’s Exchange Server.

Setting up an Exchange Server connection

Before you can synchronize or access information on the Exchange Server, you
need to set up an Exchange Server connection on your device. You need to get the
Exchange Server name (must be Outlook Web Access server name), domain name,
user name, and the password that you use at work from your network administrator
and enter them on your device.

Note You can set up an Outlook e-mail account that synchronizes with the Exchange Server

from the TouchFLO 3D Mail tab using Mail Setup. See “Mail” in Chapter 3 for details.

If you have not synchronized your device with your computer, follow these steps to
set up an Exchange Server connection.

1. Tap Start > All Programs > Messaging > Setup E-mail.

2. Enter the E-mail address and Password for the e-mail 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.

9. Select the items that you want to sync with the Exchange Server.

Tips • To change synchronization settings of an information item, for example, E-mail,

select the item, then tap Settings.

• To change the rules for resolving synchronization conflicts, tap Menu >

Advanced.

10. Tap Finish.

Notes • If you synchronized e-mails with your computer before, open ActiveSync on

• To change Exchange Server settings, open ActiveSync on your device, and then tap

your device, then tap Menu > Add Server Source to set up an Exchange Server
connection. When prompted to select 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.

Menu > Configure Server.

Starting synchronization

Before you start synchronizing with the Exchange Server, make sure your device
has been set up with a Wi-Fi or data connection to the Internet so that you can
synchronize over the air. For more information about connections, see Chapter 8.

After you finish setting up an Exchange Server connection, your device
automatically starts synchronization.

Working With Company E-mails and Meeting Appointments 127

To manually start synchronization, tap Start > Settings, and then touch Sync Data.

Note If you connect your device to your office computer via a USB or Bluetooth connection,

you can use this connection to the computer to “pass through” to the network and
download Outlook e-mails and other information to your device.

7.2 Working With Company E-mails

Your device gives you instant access to your company e-mails and lets you manage
your messages easier. Direct Push, Fetch Mail, Remote e-mail search, and e-mail
flags are just some of the tools you can use to manage your e-mails.

Note Some messaging features depend on the Microsoft Exchange Server version used in

your company. Check with your network administrator for the availability of these
features.

Automatic synchronization through Direct Push

Direct Push technology (push e-mail feature) enables you to receive new e-mails on

your device as soon as they arrive in your Inbox on the Exchange Server. Items such
as contacts, calendar 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 Wi-Fi or data connection on
your device.

You need to perform a full synchronization between your device and the Exchange
Server before Direct Push can be enabled.

Requirement 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 later.

128 Working With Company E-mails and Meeting Appointments

To turn on Direct Push in Comm Manager

1. Tap Start > Settings, and then touch Communications.

Tip You can also tap Start > All Programs > Comm Manager.

2. On the Comm Manager screen, touch the OFF/ON slider at the right side of

the Microsoft Direct Push item.

To turn on Direct Push in ActiveSync

1. Tap Start > ActiveSync and then tap Menu > Schedule.

2. Select As items arrive in the Peak times and Off-peak times boxes.

Note When Direct Push is off, you need to manually retrieve your e-mails.

Scheduled synchronization

If you do not want to use Direct Push, you can set a regular schedule for
synchronizing Outlook e-mail and information.

1. In ActiveSync on your device, tap Menu > Schedule.

2. Select from the available options to set the synchronization schedule.

Tip You can select a shorter interval in the Peak times box and a longer interval in

the Off-peak times box, so that your e-mails are synchronized more frequently
when you are working. To set the days and hours that make up your peak and
off-peak times, tap the peak times link at the bottom of the screen.

Instant download through Fetch Mail

The Fetch Mail feature downloads an entire e-mail immediately without the need
for you to perform a full Send/Receive action. This limits the download to just the
e-mail message that you want and helps save data cost.

Requirement Fetch Mail works for your device only if your company is using Microsoft

1. Tap Start > All Programs > Messaging > Outlook E-mail.

2. Open an e-mail message.

Exchange Server 2007 or later.

only if you have a Microsoft Outlook account that synchronizes with Microsoft
Exchange Server 2007 or later. Exchange Server must also be set up to allow access
to SharePoint document libraries or internal file servers.

Searching for e-mails on the Exchange Server

You can access e-mails that are not available on your device by searching your
Microsoft Exchange Server mailbox. The search results are downloaded and
displayed in a Search Results folder.

130 Working With Company E-mails and Meeting Appointments

Flagging your messages

Flags serve as a reminder for you to follow-up on important issues or requests
contained in e-mail messages. Flagging messages, which has been a useful feature
on desktop Outlook E-mail, can also be done in Outlook Mobile on your device. You
can flag received e-mail messages on your device.

Requirement Flags are enabled only if e-mails are synchronized with Microsoft Exchange

Server 2007 or later. Flags are disabled or hidden if e-mails are synchronized
with earlier versions of Microsoft Exchange Server.

issue or request in the e-mail is already completed.

• Clear Flag Remove the flag to unmark the message.

Note E-mail 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, Outlook Mobile automatically sends an auto-reply message when
you’re not available.

8.1 Ways of Connecting to the Internet

Your device’s networking capabilities allow you to access the Internet or your
corporate network through Wi-Fi, GPRS/3G (or EDGE when available), or dial-up.
You can also add and set up a VPN or proxy connection.

Wi-Fi

Wi-Fi provides wireless Internet access over distances of up to 100 meters (300 feet).
To use Wi-Fi on your device, you need access to a wireless access point or “hotspot”.

10.2 Guidelines and Preparation for Using GPS

If you installed a GPS navigation software on your device, follow these guidelines
before and when using your device for GPS navigation.

• When using GPS navigation software in the car, always plot your GPS route

before starting to drive. Do not try to configure the GPS navigation software
while driving.

• The plotted GPS route is only for driving reference. It should not interfere with

actual driving behavior.

170 Navigating on the Road

• Do not leave your device in a vehicle or expose the device to direct sunlight

to avoid overheating the battery, which could pose damage to the device or
risk to the vehicle.

•When using the device inside a vehicle, use the car holder to mount the

device securely in place. Avoid placing the device in the areas shown in the
following diagram:

1 Do not place where it will block the driver’s vision.

2 Do not place where air bags could deploy.

3 Do not place anywhere in the vehicle without securing the device in the holder.

•Use the GPS system cautiously. Users shall be liable for any damages resulting

from negligent operation of the system.

• The GPS signal cannot pass through solid non-transparent objects. Signal

reception may be affected by obstructions such as high-rise buildings,
tunnels, bridges, forests, weather (rainy or cloudy days), etc. If the vehicle’s
visor contains metal, it will be difficult for the GPS signal to pass through.

• Other nearby wireless communication products (such as mobile phones or

radar-detecting devices) may interfere with the satellite signal, resulting in
unstable signal reception.

Navigating on the Road 171

• The Global Positioning System (GPS) is built and operated by the US

Defense Department. The Department is responsible for the accuracy and
maintenance of the system. Any changes that the Department makes may
affect the accuracy and function of the GPS system.

10.3 Downloading Location Data via QuickGPS

Before using the device for GPS navigation, open QuickGPS to download
ephemeris data (current satellite position and timing information). QuickGPS
significantly speeds up the time for determining your GPS position. QuickGPS
downloads ephemeris data from web servers, instead of from satellites, using your
device’s Internet connection via Wi-Fi, ActiveSync or GPRS/3G.

To open QuickGPS

Tap Start > All Programs > QuickGPS.

To download GPS data

Tap Download on the QuickGPS screen.

On the screen, initially, you will see the Valid
time of the downloaded data. As time passes,
the remaining days and hours of validity will be
shown.

To speed up GPS positioning, download the
