Guys, I am totally frustrated and need help. I swear I have tried to RTFM, search forums, and Google. I am not sure where else to go.

I prefer not to use Activesync for my corporate mail as I can not look at mail outside of when my laptop is logged in.

We have a webmail server that can be accessed via the net, outside the firewall. I know of another tilt configured at work this way.

To clear the way, I just deleted activesync and all accounts associated with it. I then set up an outlook server:

Server Address: webmail.corporation.com
User name: Name to the server domain
Password: XXXXX
Domain: Domain name (i.e. the first part of "domain\username" when I log in
Synchronize: calender, E-mail, and Tasks

Then I get confused on it I should set up an Account under Outlook (i.e. Outlook --> Menu --> Tools --> New Account) which is what I believe is the right course of action.

Or do I select "New E-mail Account" from the main "Messaging Screen".

Assuming I set up through Outlook:
E-mail Address: Name@corporation.com
Your Name: First Last
Account Display Name: Work E-mail
Incoming mail server: webmail.corporation.com (From above) - POP3
Outgoing mail server: webmail.corporation.com (From above)
Send/Receive: Every 2 Hours

Then it goes to "Connecting..." and eventually tells me "Messages can not be downloaded to your mobile advise... Now F off" Or something to that affect.

Sorry for the newbie question guys, but any help would be appreciated.

I'm not sure that I understand what you want. If you select active sync on the DEVICE, and then set up the exchange server fields there, your tilt will get it's info whether or not it's connected.

Active sync on your pc can be set up seperately.

For example, I have an exchange account (mail2web) set up, in addition to the AS account that syncs my pc to my device.

Hope this helps.

Well, it took a bit - but finally found the error. And I mis-spoke in my original request. I was trying to configure e-mail w/o Xpressmail, but set up a webserver for outlook via Activesync.

Which is done this way:
Server Address: webmail.corporation.com
User name: Name to the server domain
Password: XXXXX
Domain: Domain name (i.e. the first part of "domain\username" when I log in
Synchronize: calender, E-mail, and Tasks

The problem was it would sync and return "Error Synchronizing" or "0 New mails" with a blank screen. No error, anything.

If I clicked on the top right menu icon when it finished and selected Activesync, there was a message that needed to be addressed about an Invalid Security Certificate.

Mentioned this to a co-worker who had the same problem. Went down to I/T and they copied over a certificate to my phone and did an install. Once done - no problems.

BTW Thanks to "ssschmidt" for trying to help. Much appreciated.
