Who doesn’t know about web today? In fact all know! We use it daily for email, instant messaging, information retrieving and what not! We can do everything on internet. But, when internet was first introduced to people, it mostly focused on Electronic Mail.
But now, things have changed. We now use portable devices which offer flexibility and ease of carrying devices. So, it is necessary to setup some important things. Your Corby comes with an inbuilt app, really necessary yet powerful. It is Exchange ActiveSync. Many people don’t know what it is! So, I am going to show you how to set it up.
First of all, let us know what it is?
It is a way through which you can sync your emails, contacts, calendar, tasks, etc stored on the internet server. i.e. your gmail account. This means, your mobile phone will synchronize your mobile data and the gmal account data
Setting up ActiveSync. (NOTE:WE ARE SETTING UP USING GMAIL SETTINGS)
- If you are setting it for first time, you will see a setting page once you tap on the icon.
- In this page, set the following parameters according to the available labels.
Server Url: m.google.com
User Name: Your gmail username along with ‘@gmail.com’ Example-abcd@gmail.com
Password: Your gmail password
Domain:google
Use SSL:OFF
- After that tap on ‘Save’
- Now, settings are saved.
- Now set the GPRS profile (Access Point)
- Now, you can setup the email settings as your wish is. For example, you can set data range, download settings
- It’s done!
Wait, it is not over yet! Corby provides a shortcut app/widget on the home screen too.
To use it, please follow these steps:
1.Go to the Home screen
