Re: Internet access to Exchange for mobile phones.

[John Jones <chianime@xxxxxxxxx>]

Roger, look up Exchange ActiveSync.

That's what mobile devices use for the best Exchange connectivity.  I'm
pretty sure EAS is also what Outlook uses if you have it set up for Exchange
access from the Internet.

(There's an Exchange Client Access server .. no relation.)

Also, EAS supports 30-odd security settings.  Be prudent with how you apply
these as not all mobile devices support all policies (in fact, few support
many at all).
