4.How do I keep the service from disconnecting? »

The most common reason for service disconnection is poor network coverage. Once the network coverage is restored, the client will reconnect automatically.

When the battery is very low, the service disconnects to save battery life. When charged, it will resume automatically.

If you are roaming, the service might disconnect due to repeated operator changes. To avoid this, you should select your roaming operator manually or choose 'Do not push' when roaming from the application's general settings. See also chapter 'Saving in data costs when roaming'.Close

5. My work emails are not delivered to me out of work hours. What is the problem? »

From the settings you can edit the hours when your emails are delivered to your phone. Go to SEVEN client and choose 'More' -> 'General Settings' -> 'Push' and check that the hours of delivery are the ones that suit you the best.

If you use SEVEN Personal Edition, and the service has been installed without the administrator rights, service will shut down when logging off, where the connector software has been installed to. To run as a service (i.e also when you're logged off from the computer), the connector should be installed with administrator rights. Please re-install, if needed.Close
6. How do I open and save an attachment? »

When an attachment is downloaded, it is appended to the email. For instance, you can open audio files sent to you as attachments, if you have an application like Media player on the device. After downloading the attachment, you can select 'Save as' from 'Options' and the attachment is saved by default to c:\data\others. Also files that cannot be saved (because of DRM protection or similar) can still be forwarded from your phone.
