I am running Outlook 2013 to an exchange server on a work system but I also have a live account for use on my personal surface device. I wanted to
be able to sync my calendars and contacts between the 2 systems, previously I have used the live connector in 2007 (when using phone 7). I understand that I need to manually copy items between the accounts, not the best but works OK and was fine on 2007.
I have set up outlook 2013 to connect to the exchange server and this works fine and I have also created an account that connects to my live account using the active sync that also works fine when laptop connected to home network, but not when
connected to the office LAN. When connected to the office I get
"log onto exchange activesync mail server (EAS): The server cannot be found"
when testing the account settings.
the only difference between office LAN and home are:
1. Connection to exchange during test
2. The office LAN has a separate Proxy server, between the LAN and the internet, which requires modification to the connection settings in explorer to allow that to see the internet.
I can not find anything in the active sync settings that allow the specification of a proxy server, so had assumed it would use the internet connection settings from explorer, maybe this is not the case, or is it that the connection to exchange
is stopping the active sync connection.
Some help in this matter would be very helpful.
