Mac/iPhone: Connect the iPhone to Microsoft Online Services

The new iPhone 3G that came out last week final enabled Exchange ActiveSync support.  As a result, you can now connect your iPhone 3G or the older iPhone with the new 2.0 firmware to connect to Microsoft Online Services.

Simply goto Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars->Add Account->Microsoft Exchange.

Email: enter your email address
Username: enter your email address
Enter your password and description for the mailbox.
Click Next

Accept the verify certificate pop ups.

You will now see a new screen with an extra blank entry for Server.  Enter the OWA address.  In beta, this is "red001.mail.microsoftonline.com".

Select the information you want to synchronize, and click on Save.

Does anyone know if this is working on the live service. I have seen confusing comments.

And, of course, I cannot get it to work. Or why else would I be asking...?

Oh. BTW - I am currently in my 30 day eval period - in case that makes a difference...

Fingers crossed and Thanks in advance...

Regards

Paul

There is no additional cost for connecting an iPhone to Microsoft Online Services. You may encounter data charges from your mobile phone provider.

thanks Paul, though according to the Mobility Solutions Descriptions Doc, pg 6, the cost would be $30 / user/ month - though this is sold by Mobile Operator...  Is this what you are referring to as "data charges" by mobile provider...?

Sorry, i still am just unclear on certain aspects of Mobility Solutions offered...

You are correct -- the $30/user/month is the estimated cost for data connectivity that may be charged by your mobile provider. That is the "data charges" I referenced in my previous comment.

There is no charge from Microsoft to access data from the Business Productvity Online Suite via an Windows Mobile device or a device with Exchange Active Synch software.

Hope this is helpful.
