Using mobile devices to access your emails and calendars

Submitted by ICT Services on Wed, 08/07/2009 - 14:46

For a mobile device to successfully sync with your 1C1N mailbox it must use the Microsoft Activesync protocol. There are many devices that come with Activesync and the list is continually growing. We will update this page with any devices we come across. If anyone sets up there own devices that aren't on here then a quick email to helpdesk@nottscc.gov.uk with a brief step by step guide would be very much appreciated!

Blackberry

As the Blackberry doesn't natively run the activesync protocol it needs to utilise third party software to sync with the 1C1N exchange server. One system we know that works is http://www.notifysync.co.uk/ - although we cannot actively support its use.
