Hi All

I have an exchange account at work, but cant seem to get it setup properly to work on my iphone. I know that it can be done, because someone else has it working. But I dont want to ask the smug git ! :mad:

Anyways, I have taken a screenshot of all the mail account settings that I could see, and was just wondering if anyone can help to tell me what I should type into each box on the iphone, under exchange mail settings.

Depends on the exchange server setup - our place has a front end server that provides outlook web access and sync support for mobile devices.
 
Has your work setup the Edge/Client Access Server to support ActiveSync for push email to mobile devices? Is this externally visible?

Perhaps you need to come in via a VPN. Your network/sys admin bods should be able to help more than we can!

EDIT: All you need is your username and password and email address if it is setup properly. I have a test Exchange 2007 box at home that syncs to my iPhone just fine.

You're not going to get that working (without breaching NHS Information Governance and confidentiality rules) to be honest.

Your Exchange server's sitting in a GP practice, which will be connected to an N3 connection, which in turn is fenced off from the Internet.

Short of tunnelling out somehow, you're not going to get this working and if you do, Connecting for Health and your local PCT Information Governance team and ICT team would be interested, not to mention that CfH could have the practice disconnected from N3 for breaching the code of connection that they signed up to when they first got their nhsnet/N3 link in.

Doesn't help you much, but that's the reality of it.

You're probably right - its just annoying that one of the other GP's has got it working.

He is a senior partner, so I am sure he would do nothing that would break the rules.

If I were you, I'd edit your original post as well, removing the screen shot. There's enough information in the screen shot alone for an extremely accurate idea of who/where, which in the hands of the wrong people could cause yourself and the practice unwanted attention and consequences.

Better safe and in a job than the flipside of that....

The partner's not using NHS.mail and forwarding from the Exchange server to that are they (which is equally frowned upon)?

While that'll work, it's not considered a secure or approved method of accessing emails. Accessing just NHS.mail is fine, but as far as CfH are concerned, forwarding from an nhs.uk domain to the nhs.net isn't secure.

Nothing to stop him doing it, but the possible risks therein should be enough to put anyone off, unless they're absolutely hell bent on doing it anyway.

What happens if the person in question has forwarded an email from the Exchange server (internal) to NHS.mail and then picked the email up on the iPhone, after which the iPhone's nicked and isn't secured? That email might just be the coffee orders for a partner meeting that afternoon, but it could easily be something relating to a patient and extremely sensitive.
