Can't synch my email with my phone any more...

... since I had to change my Windows password on my work laptop. :mad:

I'm trying to synch up an Andriod phone with an MS Exchange Outlook account and the only change to the settings I needed to make was to update my password. But ever since changing it I get an error message "Cannot connect to Exchange server". My IT support desk say that as this is my personal phone, other than check that I have the settings right (which they are) they can't help (even though this is the phone I use for work).

If anyone can help I'd be most grateful :(

    Your exchange settings password is usually the windows password has the password on your phone been updated?

    Yes - I went into my phone settings to update my new Windows password and that's when the problems started.

    Have you tried setting it up again as a new e-mail account on your phone, rather than just changing the password in the existing settings? Probably worth a try...
  • Yes, tried that a couple of times, no luck
