Problems with exchange activesync

[richardyates]

I'm having 2 problems with exchange activesync:

1) I close the program, close mail and yet it starts up again, meaning my mail is being collected all through the night, when I don't need it

2) When the program is running it seems that the alarms don't work, which, coupled with number 1 means I have twice overslept before I worked this out!

Am I right or have I missed anything?

BTW, may I know how do you sync then?

My case even worst, I can't activate the activesync at all whereby it always claim that my server name is wrong and timed out!!!

What is the setting for you to perform the activesync?

Thanks in advance.

Re. 1) I looks like you have "Push" enabled (e.g. "real-time sync"). You have to change this to manual or scheduled interval!!
From within ActiveSync select "More" \ "Settings" \ "Sched" => Uncheck "Enable Push" and instead use either "Sync Every: Manual" or at interval at your own preference.
