Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync is available as an optional add-on to SmarterMail. Unlike other synchronization methods, Exchange ActiveSync uses direct push technology to sync email, calendars, contacts, tasks, notes, and folders to Windows Phones in real time. 

If you have chosen to pay for the Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync licensing add-on for your SmartPhone and wish to use the produce on your device, you will need to configure the Windows Phone to function with Exchange ActiveSync.

  5. Click Next.
  6. Enter the URL to the ChicagoNetTech SmarterMail server.  If you are using ChicagoNetTech's SmarterMail e-mail server that will always be mail.netlou-secure.com.  NOTE: Even though you need to use HTTPS:// when connectinv via webmail, DO NOT not include https:// when entering the server information in your ActiveSync setup.
  7. If your webmail requires SSL, select the This server requires an encrypted (SSL) connection checkbox.
  8. Click Next.
  9. Complete the following required information:
    • Username (without @domainname.com)
