Nokia announced the new version of its mobile email software client, Mail for Exchange, ready for consumers who use Microsoft Exchange Server and Nokia Eseries phones or selected Nokia Nseries handsets. Mail for Exchange 2.0 comes to boost the user experience and enables mobile access to the high-class features of Microsoft Exchange Server, like directory look-up or meeting request handling. For a high-quality user experience, the software is firmly integrated with the devices that use it, providing end-to-end mobile email solutions.

Mail For Exchange is native to the Nokia Eseries phones, so the contact functions, inbox and calendar integrate perfectly with the device. It delivers full email features and benefits, supporting Nokia Intellisync Mobile Suite, Novell GroupWise and Lotus Domino, as well as popular consumer solutions like Hotmail, Gmail and Yahoo.

Jeff Ressler, Director for Microsoft Exchange, said: "Exchange Server 2007 includes built-in mobile access capabilities that go beyond what users expect. With the release of Mail for Exchange 2.0, owners of Nokia Eseries and Nokia Nseries phones can stay productive on the go with these new Exchange mobility features, including remote corporate address books, the ability to accept and reject meeting invitations and other improvements."

"As a means of enabling business mobility, our integrated solutions portfolio makes it easier for companies and operators to deploy mobile technologies," says Antti Vasara, senior vice president, Mobile Devices, Nokia. "Offering Mail for Exchange on our Nokia Eseries devices aligns with our goal to overcome challenges related to mobilizing businesses by protecting customers' existing investments and by expanding the choice of mobile applications for our customers."

The new version of Mail for Exchange is compatible with Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 and Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 and uses the Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync protocol. The 2.0 version is more flexible and cost effective, it increases the work efficiency and extends desktop features to mobile phones.

Mail for Exchange 2.0 can be downloaded for free directly from Nokia Eseries devices, by using the Download! application, or from the Nokia for Business website.
