Outlook Web Access

portcrap

My Company IT department are pretty inept. They have set up MS exchange for our blackberrys but I want to get access to my emails on my iphone. They cant seem to help cause they "don't support the iphone".:mad:

Anyway I can access my outlook mail and calendar tasks etc through outlook web access on safari. Is there any app to access this more effectively (the GUI is a bit too big for the iphone). Or is there anyway of getting my email to the iphone without having to enter in ms exchange details or set up imap?

Any advice or suggestions appreciated. Thanks

If you can use Outlook Web Access, you have all the information you need to set up Exchange on the iPhone....whats the problem with putting this info in yourself? It takes 5 minutes. Put it in once and your email, calendar and contacts will seamlessly integrate with your desktop.

Not if access to your company systems requires a VPN connection - then you need alot more.

First off, they haven't 'setup Exchange' for your Blackberries, they've purchased and installed a Blackberry Enterprise Server which is designed and built to integrate with Exchange and forward emails to blackberry devices. You don't just go into Exchange and switch on support for Blackberry.

It's your own personal iPhone? Why should they, being paid by the company, support equipment you buy for yourself? That's not ineptness.

If your company doesn't allow OWA, they you could ask them about Exchange ActiveSync which is exactly what you need but still requires intregration between the Exchange server and the mobile network provider, as with Blackberry.

Just do what the poster above said - set it up as a new mail account in the iPhone. If you have the web access settings you have everything you need to set it up.... I've done the very same thing with my iPhone.
