Nokia owners whose companies use Exchange can set up Mail for Exchange for free on their devices in various ways without paying additional services or subscription fees – from the email set-up plug-in on the home screen, by launching the application from the Download! folder, or via the Settings Wizard. Once the application is set up, users utilize their current data plan service to get real-time access to their office email, calendar, contacts, tasks and company directory over a secure connection.

By connecting to the Exchange Server 2007, Mail for Exchange enables features such as Autodiscover, which drastically simplifies the set-up process by requiring the email account holder to only enter their email address, password, domain and usernames; ‘Out of Office’ messaging, enabling busy professionals to set their out-of-office messages directly from their Nokia device; synchronization when roaming, a must-have feature for travelling businesspeople; and also Flag status for follow-ups.

While the Exchange ActiveSync protocol is compatible with many types of devices, Nokia device users will have access to features that are currently not available in other Exchange ActiveSync licensees’ devices. Setting email priorities, alerts for meeting request conflicts, a standalone global address list application to search for a colleague’s contact details quickly, downloading and editing all types of attachments, not just image files, are must-have factors that users will expect from their mobile email application.

Here is the release note on the new version

• Swedish language support: If you tried to run Mail for Exchange 2.5.0 or 2.5.3 on a phone using the Swedish language the application was crashing. This language error has been corrected in Mail for Exchange 2.5.5.
• Exchange 2007: The Mail for Exchange 2.5.0 release had an error synchronizing against an Exchange 2007 server without Service Pack 1. This error has been corrected in Mail for Exchange 2.5.3.
• Mail for Exchange language: After Mail for Exchange is installed the application is launched automatically. For that first launch the language used was always English in the 2.5.0 release. Now Mail for Exchange 2.5.3 will always show the proper language.
• Meeting Requests: When accepting/declining a meeting request on the device, the meeting originator’s calendar meeting tracking tab will be correctly updated in most cases.

If you are currently using any version of Mail for Exchange older than version 2.0.0, you must first uninstall that Mail for Exchange client and then install the 2.5.5 Mail for Exchange client. To begin using the new Exchange 2007 server features for the first time, you will need to perform a Full Resync on the device (Options>Full resync) after you have upgraded to Mail for Exchange 2.5.5.
