MailSite ActiveSync with Outlook 2013
Document ID: 10529
Synopsis
MailSite can synchronzie email, contacts, and calendar items via ActiveSync (EAS) with Outlook 2013.
More Information
Make sure you are connecting an account that has Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync enabled on it. Also, make sure your mail domain has a valid SSL certificate as Outlook 13 requires a SSL connection while using EAS.
To Setup Outlook 2013
- Open up Outlook 2013 and click on the 'File' tab.
- Click 'Add Account'.
- Click the radio button next to 'Manual setup or additional server types'. Click Next.
- When presented with the Choose Service screen, select 'Outlook.com or Exchange ActiveSync compatible service'. Click Next.
- Enter your email address, server and logon information. The server address to use will be the URL for the MailSite ActiveSync server. So for example if you check ExpressPro at www.domain.com/expresspro then enter www.domain.com. Click Next.
- Outlook will automatically test your account settings. When the connection is successful press 'Close' and your account is created.
- Click 'Finish' to complete the setup of your MailSite account in Outlook 2013.
You can now see all your MailSite email within Outlook as well as your contacts and calendar items that match those in your default contacts (personal contact list) and calendar from ExpressPro. It is not possible to choose within Outlook other contact or calendar lists to sync. Likewise, it is not possible within Outlook to choose to just sync email and contacts as by default Outlook does all 3 collections (email, contacts and calendar). Outlook will take a little while to download all this data on the initial setup depending on how large your account is and the number of folders within this.
