Filtering
You can adjust Exchange ActiveSync to filter
email you receive in your phone. Adjustments
can be made by date range and email size.
By default, email is limited to the past three
days. Exchange ActiveSync will synchronize
based on a 24-hour time period. A date range
setting of one day in Exchange ActiveSync
settings would receive email from the current
time of day and 24 hours prior to that time.
The size of emails to be downloaded is set to 1
kB. If you find that your received messages are
constantly being truncated and you want to
avoid the delay of downloading the remainder,
try increasing this size.
To adjust email filtering,
1. Open the ActiveSync account and select
More > Account settings.
2. On the
Mail tab, select the desired date
range and email size.
Receiving attachments
Select the attachments tab to see a list of the
attachments included in a mail. The size of the

Restart the phone or reset data
In rare cases you may get a “Program Closed”
message from Exchange ActiveSync,
indicating that a specific application has
closed down due to errors. If you cannot start
the application again, try the following
suggestions:
• Turn your phone off, then turn it back on.
• Remove and reinsert the battery.
If the problem persists, and you are sure that it
is related to the Exchange ActiveSync client, it
is recommended to reset all the data from the
advanced settings in

Connection errors
Verify the following:
• If you cannot connect, verify that a data
connection is available, and that you can
access Internet on your phone.
• Check that flight mode is not accidentally
enabled.

Password problems
Note that your password within the server
settings is case sensitive.
SSL-related problems
If you have enabled SSL and have connection
or synchronization problems, perform the
following actions.
Check if SSL is supported
Before you select SSL (Secure Socket Layer;
used to enable the same level of security
trusted for online banking) in the Exchange
ActiveSync settings, ensure that SSL is
supported by the system you are using.
Otherwise you will run into connection and
synchronization problems. If SSL is supported
by the system, it is recommended that you use
it.
Root certificates
If you are using SSL and the connection
between the server and your phone has failed
due to timeout problems, matching root
certificates must exist on both devices to
enable a smooth reconnection. Otherwise you
will be prompted to accept the connection
everytime it goes down.
Check with your IT department which
certificates and settings you must use.
Note: It is not recommended to enable direct
push synchronization without having a
matching set of root certificates on the server
and the phone.
