Does Activesync 4.2 work with multiple Exchange Servers?

I am trying to sync my Cingular 8125 Smartphone with multiple Exchange
Servers using Activesync v4.2. I have it working great with my first
Exchange Server but cannot add another server source unless I delete the
first one. Is it possible to sync with two Exchange Servers?

Thanks!

Currently you are limited to syncing with just a single Exchange server. Did
you want to sync with two exchange servers and have your data combined? Its
pretty tricky to have the Inbox folders combined, especially the folder
hierarchies and sending replies and so on. In any case we do allow syncing
with only a single exchange server at the moment. What you could do is to
open up an Outlook Profile pointing to the second Exchange server and then
sync with the desktop and the first exchaneg server. This way you will be
cross-pollinating Tasks/Calendar/Contacts between the two exchange servers -
one directly and the other in-directly. You can choose one of the two to get
your email messages - I would select that to be the exchange server so that
I can get my emails wirelessly.

What I do to accomplish this task is to hardwire sync one computer that is
on exchange server #1. I only sync contacts, calendar and tasks. Email, I
forward to the exchange server #2 for wireless syncing. I wireless sync all
items with exchange server #2 to my Palm Treo. This system works pretty well
for me.

So in reality you are not syncing with Exchange Server #1 but rather with a
copy of Outlook, via AS on a desktop, that is set to be a client to ES#1,
right? (Since there is only one place to define an Exchange Server)

You know what

the solution is simple.

You can Push enable using activesync on one server & configure the other one
as an IMAP server

I have the same problem. Thanks for the info. How do you edit the device's
registry?

thanks
