However, I'm beginning to suspect I/we have an iphone problem here. mail.company.com/exchange No access with domain\user or user No access with domain entered or not. No access using SSL or not. We've tried all possible variations of the above, attempting to connect to two different Exch servers (2003, one w/sp2, one w/sp1). Our iphones will not connect using exact same settings used by our WinMo devices (all iphones are 3G 2.1). The iphones sometimes fail, sometimes lock up when attempting to connect via wifi or 3G. Is there anything we haven't tried before we relegate the iphone to an "also ran" mobile device for our office? Thanks. Stephen,

Can you, say, access that exchange server from IE while sitting in Starbucks without starting a VPN client? Probably not, and this is your problem. You need to either figure out your fully qualified OWA server name (and you might not have one) or use the iPhone's VPN support, which can be hit or miss and I don't have documented. Sorry!

After realizing that the exchange server was the http address everything worked great and I am now the proud owner of an iPhone with an Exchange account, which I desperately needed on my phone.

My username is different than my email address: un: charlie_blahblah.com vs charlie@blahblah.com. My domain address is different than my 'server address': mail07b.mailtrust.com vs. mail07b.mlsrvr.com.

Sadly, the domain\username combo isn't listed in Outlook once you set it up initially - it just shows your long Exchange name, which is normally just your real name. You should be able to find both by calling your IT guy or checking whatever configuration docs might be available on your intranet...
