Resolution
Refer to the appropriate resolutions to solve the issue.
Cause 1
You are running an unsupported version of Microsoft Outlook Web Access.
You may be running an unsupported version of Microsoft Outlook Web Access. BlackBerry Internet Service 1.8 only supports Microsoft Outlook Web Access integration for versions prior to OWA 2003.
Microsoft Outlook Web Access 2003 integration is supported with BlackBerry Internet Service 2.0 or later.
Resolution
If you are using Microsoft Outlook Web Access 2003, you can do one of the following:
* upgrade to BlackBerry Internet Service 2.0 or later
* contact your system administrator for more information about adding a forwarding rule to your account
* contact your system administrator for more information about downloading and installing BlackBerry Mail Connector
Cause 2
The login information entered for your Microsoft Outlook Web Access account is incorrect.
Resolution
Verify that you can log in to your Microsoft Outlook Web Access account on your organization's Microsoft Outlook Web Access web site. If you cannot, acquire the correct login information to integrate your Microsoft Outlook Web Access account with your BlackBerry Internet Service account.
Cause 3
Your Microsoft Outlook Web Access account uses an SSL protocol.
Resolution
Using the integration procedure documented in KB03133, verify that the URL in the Microsoft Outlook Web Access URL field includes an 's' at the end of http, as follows: https.
Cause 4
You are using an incorrect mailbox name.
Resolution
Confirm that you are using the correct mailbox name. To determine your mailbox name, log in to the Microsoft Outlook Web Access account and hover over the Inbox folder on the left top corner. On the task pane, you should see the mailbox name, as seen in the graphic below.
If the mailbox name is incorrect, correct it and use the correct mailbox name when integrating your Microsoft Outlook Web Access account with your BlackBerry Internet Service account. For more information on account integration and settings, see KB03133.
Cause 5
Your BlackBerry Internet Service account has not been assigned the correct protocol to receive messages from your Microsoft Outlook Web Access account.
Resolution
Contact your service provider to verify that the correct Microsoft Outlook Web Access account protocol has been assigned to your BlackBerry Internet Service account.
Cause 6
There are too many email messages in the Microsoft Outlook Web Access mailbox.
Resolution
Move some email messages to a subfolder. Make sure there are fewer than 1000 email messages in the Inbox.
Cause 7
The splash screen has changed.
The splash screen (the main login screen) has changed to an http:// web page.
Resolution
Revert to the default Microsoft splash screen.
Cause 8
If the Microsoft Outlook Web Access account is hosted by a company that employs a custom front end, there may be issues integrating with a BlackBerry Internet Service 2.x account. This is a result of the custom front end which affects the connections that the BlackBerry Internet Service makes to the custom front end over SSL.
Any Microsoft Exchange server running Outlook Web Access running a custom front end could run into the same issue.
Resolution
Use the advanced integration to specify the exact server information for the account. Use the information below to help fill out the required fields.
Email - user@usersdomain.com
Server/URL - http://exchange.1and1.com/exchange/
User name - exchange\e#########
Email account name - user@usersdomain.com
Password -
Alternate integration methods would include the use of POP3 or IMAP4. Or to forward email messages to a hosted email address (for instance, user@carrier.blackberry.net).
Cause 9
The following error is received when integrating the email address:
An error occurred during e-mail account validation.
Please check your information and try again.
If the error persists please contact your System Administrator.
Resolution
Contact your system administrator and request the Internet Protocol (IP) address of the Microsoft Outlook Web Access server. Integrate the Outlook Web Access email account with the IP address instead of the URL address.
Cause 10
The Microsoft Outlook client is not saving a copy of messages in the Outlook Web Access account.
Resolution
Contact the system administrator of the Microsoft Exchange Server to ensure the Microsoft Outlook client is configured correctly.
Cause 11
Microsoft Outlook Web Access is currently unavailable on the messaging and collaboration server end, perhaps due to maintenance or upgrades.
Resolution
Wait until Microsoft Outlook Web Access is available. Alternately, use POP3 or IMAP4 as a possible integration type or forward email messages to a hosted email address (for instance, @.blackberry.net).Source
