After a lot of tries I was able to seemingly create a new email account using the settings for my Outlook account at work, and realizing that I have to go through the owa server to do it. (At least that is the only way it connected.)
However, I don't believe emails are actually being sent from this account, nor am I getting emails even though I think the settings are all correct.
Wondering if someone out there can assist me?
I added an account with myusername@businessname.org and my password.
clicked Exchange as the type and then set Server Settings as listed below.
Domain\Username:
myworkdomainname\myusername
Password:
*********
Server:
owa.businessname.org
and per instructions from my IT guy, I have unchecked Use secure connection (SSL).
I've got all the Account Settings as I want them, including status bar notifactions.
I sent a test email to vzn, as well as some to my gmail account and the exchange account. In all cases they remain in my Outbox after I hit send (or ask to send messages in the outbox again). As a side note, when I open the folders, there is no Inbox, I am assuming I need to get an email in that inbox in order for it to show up.
I've tried sending an email to the account I am trying to set up here from gmail and it shows up when I check my inbox by logging in through the owa site, but nothing on the phone.
Anyway, I am new to the Droid, and in fact any smart phones, and I am very confused about why it seems as though I have set up an account but nothing happens when I try to send an email.
I am hoping that it is just some random setting that I didn't know I needed to check or uncheck or something.
I've only found things on line or at this forum that tell me to do what I have already done, so hopefully I've listed the information I needed to here and someone knows what I am doing wrong.
Thanks
