How to Change the ActiveSync Account on Windows Mobile 6 Devices

Hi,

Amongst all the fun things I have been doing recently, I decided it would be a good time to migrate my Wife's email account over to my Exchange 2007 host Intermedia.net

Everything went very smoothly until I came to re-syncing her Windows Mobile 6 device.

For a while I couldn't work out how to change the username and domain. I could change the server address but nothing else.

Well, it turns out that I needed to first delete the existing Exchange partnership and then create a new one.

 

To delete the partnership on the device, open ActiveSync on the device.

Go to Menu -> Options.

Select the "Microsoft Exchange" partnership

Click the "Delete" button.

 

This should delete the partnership on the device. Once the partnership is deleted, you can then go to Menu->Configure Server
and set up a new partnership.

 

Hope this saves someone a few wasted minutes!

 

Cheers

Nathan

Fun? Yes, well, maybe.  However as my Fasthost email wasn’t actually working when Nathan suggested that he wanted to ‘migrate’ me over to Intermedia, I decided it might be a good thing.  Two hours (and a prom concert) later he had not only migrated the email but had managed to find all sorts of things wrong with my computer that I didn’t know about (and probably never wanted to know about). ‘Well your email is working now’ he said, screeching up to a top G in falsetto along with the sopranos, ‘but your profile is broken’.  I gave up and went to bed.

‘Wasn’t that fun?’ commented Nathan as he got into bed some time later ‘I expect you to tell me about all the new features by tomorrow lunchtime’.  ‘If I could actually use my computer I expect I might be able to!’ I replied.   But Nathan had gone to sleep.
