Best iPhone OWA sync? Emoze?

[mvangogh]

What's the best, simplest hosted solution for sync'ing iPhone with my corporate OWA account? I signed up for Emoze and I can't get it to work. Perhaps I'm doing something wrong or perhaps Emoze just isn't is as good as I had hoped.

Suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Also, after entering my account info on Emoze.com, I used the Exchange option when setting up a new email account on my iPhone. Maybe I should be using IMAP or POP3 instead?

Hi

what is the problem yo experiance?
did you follow the installation instructions in the "get emoze" process?

let me know and I'll try to help you

Hay (emoze)




just so you know, you have a free support from emoze, just go to the emoze community and ask for support or email [email protected]

well, i signed up for emoze forums but the admin never accepted my request, so i still can't post . i also sent an email to support but haven't heard back from them either. it's been about 4 days. maybe they're busy?

so to get this working there's two steps, first register with emoze and second, setup your iphone.

step 1: here's how i filled things out when registering with emoze
Email: I used the email address from work - [email protected]
User Name: my login ID for OWA
Domain: when i log into OWA, I have to type domain\username in the ID field, so I used my login domain name in this field
URL: cosowa.company.com (i didn't include http:// since I figured this was understood and not necessary.

step 2: setup mail account on iphone
Settings -> Mail -> Add Account -> Other -> IMAP (wasn't sure to choose IMAP, POP or Exchange)
Name: My full name
Address: [email protected]
Description: Emoze
Incoming & Outgoing
Host Name: gw.emoze.com
User Name: [email protected] (emoze instructions said to use the email address I registered with)
Password: OWA password

Clicked Save and the first error is Secure Connection Failed: The certificate for "Emoze" may be invalid. I click continue and a few seconds later I get a checkmark next to every entry field and iPhone returns me to the Mail menu with a new email account called Emoze.

I go back to the home screen and click the Mail button -> Emoze -> Inbox -> and the little circle at the bottom to refresh the screen and no emails show up. I try sending an email to my yahoo acct and I never get it. obviously i'm doing something wrong.

Thanks for the help

UPDATE
ok, I just realized something that may be of value too. when I go to cosowa.company.com, I don't get an outlook wecome screen where I enter my userid and pw. instead, I get a separate popup login window, like you do for secure sites or an FTP site and it says the server owa-am1.company.com requires a login. maybe i should be using this URL instead?

UPDATE
Here's an even better question. I work from home and I don't have to be on the VPN for outlook to sync with the server. When I start outlook it asks for a username and pw and sync's over http (or so someone told me). If i'm using the VPN, then I don't have to type my id and pw. Is there a way to get the iphone to connect to the server the same way outlook does over http?
