Email Synchronisation Issue on Mobile Phones

We have received a number of calls recently regarding email not being received/synchronised on mobile phones. This is as a result of the Security Certificate (SSL) being updated on the Exchange Servers.

If you have a Nokia or Android phone (HTC, Samsung etc) you should run a manual synchronisation and when prompted select ‘Accept Certificate Permanently’. Once this has been done, email will be received/synchronised automatically as before.

On some older phones, this certificate will not be recognised. If you are still having problems, please log a call with the IT Services Helpdesk.
