How do I add an Exchange E-mail account to the Playbook. I know the address and domain, I assume the password is the users domain password. Not really sure what it's looking for in the Server Address field. Anybody know how to configure an Exchange e-mail address?

In general terms, what does your Domain look like? I'm trying to find answers as well.

We have a Server running Windows Small Business Server 2003 and about 10 desktops.

You will need to have the server address to configure. Also the server has to allow activesync. If any of your co-workers are using android or IOS for their exchange mail use the same server settings. Its now the same email program.

Could also be the address of your webmail eg: owa.microsoft.com

I have tried outlook.companyname.com, mail.companyname.com, and owa.microsoft.com and none have worked. Has anyone gotten it to work???

Try webmail.companyname.com. I have my company exchange stuff all working...email, calendar, contacts...everything. I had to use the advanced setup however.

Yes, I got it to work. I have a Small Business Server 2008, and I had been running BESx but it broke a couple of weeks ago and I haven't been able to restore it

Here's what I did, field by field:

Description: Enter whatever you want... just a label
E-mail address: Your address, as people enter it to send you mail
Password: Your Windows Active Directory password

Then, under Advanced Settings:
Server Address: The PUBLIC ADDRESS of your server (SBS auto-configures a remote access site, so the address I used was "remote.mydomain.net". NOTE, no need for "http://" or "https://" prefix; it seems to pick this up)

When I saved this, it worked like a charm. I create my own SSL certificates, and it threw warnings, but I was able to accept those warnings just fine.

Have fun!!

One other thing: I think the server name you'd use is EXACTLY the same one you use to configure "Outlook Anywhere" for remote, direct connection in Outlook itself.

try server exchange.companyname.com and put companyname in domain

[cntrydncr223]

Try webmail.companyname.com. I have my company exchange stuff all working...email, calendar, contacts...everything. I had to use the advanced setup however.

tried that using mail.comcast.net, but no dice...
any other suggestions?

I got email to work, but nothing else.

Comcast offers Exchange mail?

Are you sure your looking for exchange settings or IMAP?

It's usually in your email address, [email protected]

I'm not sure of anything, lol
i'm just really wanting to use the native apps, over the bridge

[cntrydncr223]

I tried this setting as well, but can't figure out the server address or smtp address.
are those the ones I use in outlook

mail.comcast.net
smtp.comcast.net

Do you have a desktop with the same account? Look at the settings in there.

[cntrydncr223]

Thank you, been trying that, too.
I get "the server xxx is not responding. please check your settings and try again"

You made sure everything is the same? You are not setting up an exchange account? It is not an exchange account unless it is from an employer or you have your own.

[cntrydncr223]

I've tried imap, active sync
I've tried all combinations of ports, copied everthing exactly as it is in outlook.
with ssl, without ssl
automatic port #'s, copy outlook


nothing is working.
keep getting the same message

[cntrydncr223]

ok, so I must have done something the same.
Now i get this account has already been added, but still nothing in the calendar
