Blackberry Alternatives on the KLZ?
17 July 09 10:29 AM | plaj01 | with no comments

As you are probably aware, we do not support Blackberry on the KLZ. The reason for this is down to cost. The subscription price does not include the costs associated with running a Blackberry Enterprise Server, licencing, managing it etc.

We support and actively promote the use of Exchange Active Sync (EAS) which is supported by Windows Mobile 6 devices, iPhone 3G & 3GS and most recent high end Nokia and Sony Ericsson mobile phones. We have a number of users happily using the KLZ on iPhone 3G with version 3 software.

However, if you do already have a Blackberry and wish to sync it with the KLZ, there are 2 pieces of software which can now sync to an Exchange server.
I'm afraid we cannot support this software in any way, but you may want to consider downloading the trial versions of AstraSync http://www.astrasync.com/ or NotifySync http://www.notifysync.co.uk/ and evaluate them. There is a cost associated if you wish to carry on after the trial.

Managing Your Mobile Device via OWA
10 July 09 10:01 AM | plaj01 | with no comments

If you have synced a mobile device such as an iPhone or HTC to KLZ E-Mail then you can manage it in your OWA settings.
Click Options in OWA and then Mobile Devices on the left hand bar.

Why Manage Your Device ?

  • The most important thing you can do from these settings is wipe your device. If you lose your device you can send a remote signal to wipe the data when it next connects to the internet. This option should obviously only be used when you know you have lost the device as it is data destructive. This option does not render the device wiped, just the data, so think of it as a factory reset.
  • Display a recovery password if you have forgotten your PIN.
  • Check the status of your device for troubleshooting purposes.
  • Remove devices you no longer use (this does not remove data from the device.)
