Scheduled sync gives you the option of setting up your own schedule for when your phone automatically syncs with the Exchange Server. If, for example, you want your phone to synchronize once a day 8:00 PM, you can set this time in the scheduled sync settings and at the appointed hour, your phone will synchronize with the Exchange Server. You may wish to use this feature if you are a light user and don’t expect a lot of email or calendar events on your server.

Direct Push is a feature of RemoSync that allows all new information—email, contacts, calendar, from your Exchange Server to be pushed directly to your mobile phone as they arrive on the server. You don’t have to manually log in from your phone to check for new emails or calendar events. Direct Push always keeps your phone up-to-date with the server, but the tradeoff is that is uses more battery power.

To enable Direct Push: 

1. Go to the Settings.
2. Select Account & Sync Settings.
3. Select Sync Schedule.
4. Check the box against Direct Push. You can define what days and times you would like Direct Push enabled.

Feedback

To disable the Direct Push option, first launch RemoSync on your phone:

1. Go to Settings.
2. Select Account & Sync Settings.
3. Select Sync Schedule.
4. Uncheck the Direct Push option pressing OK Key. 
5. Then press CLR or right soft key “Back” button to save your settings. This will disable Direct Push.

Time Zone identifies the time zone that you operate from. This setting is extremely important to ensure that the calendar reminder and alert settings work as desired. This is especially important if you are traveling across time zones.

Feedback

When turned on, the Out of Office function sends automatic responses to received emails with a custom message indicating that you are away from office. You must specify the dates and times between which the out of office messages will be sent. You can customize three different responses for different audiences:

• Internal: people from within the organization.
• External Known: people who are not a part of your organization, but are in your address book.
• External Unknown: people who are not known to you. You can disable this setting using the Disable option under Out of Office setting.

Currently the Exchange Account is not provisioned for access from the cell phone using ActiveSync. Contact your IT Admin and check whether the account is provisioned.

1. Navigate to Settings.
2. Select Account & Sync Settings.
3. Then choose Account Setup.
4. Enable SSL and sync again.

Error 1288 / 1289 is a result of incorrect server address or domain. Go to Settings, Account & Sync Settings, Account Setup and verify the Server Address and the domain. The server must be entered with no spaces or http:// or https:// or /Exchange or /OWA. The Server address is typically what you enter to access the OWA using an Internet browser. For example, if your OWA URL is https://mail.domain.com/exchange, enter only mail.domain.com in Server Address field.

The domain is the Exchange access domain. Note that this may be different from your regular email domain. Contact your IT admin to find the right information.

If all information entered is correct, check whether the server is up and running. You can verify it by accessing OWA using your Internet browser.

Feedback
