Nokia E71 - Mail for exchnage does not sync the calendar

Hi

 

I have had this problem for a few weeks now and have spent many hours looking through these forum for the solution.  It seem like many users have this problem but non of their solutions works for me. 

We have some Nokia E71 with the latest version of mail for exchange on them.  The idea was the e71 would sync email, contacts and calendar entries with our exchange 2003 server.  Its fine with sync-ing email and contact but when it come to the calendar the process seems to get into a loop and in current status it displays syncing calendar. 

I have tried updating all the software and firmware.  I have formated the phone, done a factory reset, changing intial sync to delete tiems on the phone. 

 

Any suggestions please.

Set your sync profile on automatic, not manual

wait a moment,Then works the calendar sync.

I had the same problem

 

Manual sync: sync only mail and contacts

Automatic sync:sync also the calendar

 

it's strange, but sure

I had this same problem as well.  The advice in the post by Woekki worked for me, just changing sync mode from Manual to Automatic.

 

I also found another way to sync the calendar manually if you want to leave Mail for Exchange in manual mode.  Follow these steps:

 

1. On your E71, Go into "Mail for Exchange"

2. Press the right button to select "Back" to get to the "Messaging" screen.

3. Highlight "Mail for Exchange" and press the left button to select "Options."

4. Select "Settings" from the Options menu

5. Scroll down to "E-mail" select it.

5. Highlight "Mail for Exchange" and press the left button to select "Options."

6. Select "Edit" from the Options menu

=> It will say "Sync mode: Manual, Current status: Idle"

7. Press the left button to select "Options" and select "Synchronize"

=> You will see the "Current status" change from Idle to "Connecting.. Connected.. Syncing Email.. Syncing Calendar.. Syncing Contacts.. Syncing Tasks"

 

 

So if you ever want to sync your Calendar, you just have to go through those steps.

 

Also if you do want to change your sync mode to automatic or manual, just follow the steps above, but instead of doing step 7, just select "Sync Mode" and make the change there.  You can set it to sync as little as every four hours during business hours, so that is the easiest way to make sure your calendar gets in sync, without having to sync email too often.
