Hey Everyone,

 

We are moving from Office 365 to SmarterMail and I am having a heck of a time with ActiveSync/EWS on Outlook 2013.  (Or any version of outlook actually).  Perhaps this is a miss understanding of the product, I am not sure.  Here is where I am at.

 

[x]  Smartermail is working

[x]  Mail is coming and going

[x]  iOS devices are syncing mail/calendar using activesync

[ ]  Outlook 2013 is syncing...  Nope

 

If we setup Outlook 2013 as IMAP it works fine for sending and receiving email.  But this doesn't help us with calendars at all.  So everyone is having to run both Outlook 2013 and the Web app so they can send invites and manage their calendars.  This really isn't going over well.  We have done the log into Smartermail, select calendar, and connect to Outlook, which works ok, except that now I have 2 calendars.  I can send invites from outlook using only my Outlook calendar and not my Smartermail calendar.  But then smartermail isn't tracking responses. 

 

Try and try as I might.  I can't get Outlook 2013 to see Smartermail as "Exchange".  My auto discovery works, but it's just responding back as IMAP/POP/SMTP and not actually giving the correct exchange response.  If I try and manually create the account in Outlook, it says it can't connect to Exchange.

 

I could really use some guidance, anyone have any ideas?
