About Mail for Exchange


Would you like to have your work mail, contacts, and calendar at hand, whether you are sitting by your computer or on the go with your phone? You can synchronize the important content between your phone and a Microsoft Exchange server.

Select and Add account > Mail for Exchange .

Mail for Exchange can be set up only if your company has a Microsoft Exchange server. In addition, your company IT administrator must have activated Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync for your account.

Use of the Mail for Exchange is limited to over-the-air synchronization of PIM information between the Nokia device and the authorized Microsoft Exchange server.

Before starting to set up Mail for Exchange, make sure you have the following:

  • A corporate mail address

  • Your Exchange server name (contact your company IT department)

  • Your network domain name (contact your company IT department)

  • Your office network password

Depending on the Exchange server configuration, you may need to enter additional information. If you do not know the correct information, contact your company IT department.

When you set up your Mail for Exchange account, your phone may ask you to define a security code. Depending on your Mail for Exchange administrator's security requirements, also your phone lock settings may be changed, such as Autolock and Number of tries. When you have defined a security code, if you don't use your phone for a while, it locks itself. To use your phone again, you need to enter the code.

Synchronization takes place automatically in intervals defined when setting up the Mail for Exchange account. Only content defined when setting up the account is synchronized. To synchronize additional content, edit the Mail for Exchange settings.
