1. Besides the software I get from the download site, do I need additional hardware or software to run the service? »

To run Consumer Edition, you only need a mailbox, like Yahoo! or Gmail, and a mobile phone. If the SEVEN software is not preloaded, download it directly to your phone from the website of your service provider. Just fill in your phone number and click the link in the message to download!

When you want to mobilize your work email, Out Of Office can be added without any additional software or hardware. To use Personal Edition, in addition to a corporate mailbox, you need to install Personal Edition connector software on your computer.

System SEVEN is a combination of different services of which you can choose the ones that best suit you. These services are called: Consumer Edition, Workgroup Edition, Personal Edition, Enterprise Edition and Out of Office. Close
5. I have installed System SEVEN, but I don't know which edition I'm using »

If you get e-mails from your e-mails account(s) like Gmail, Yahoo!, Hotmail, or similar, pushed to your phone, you are using Consumer Edition. The mailbox on the phone shows the name of the service and your user name.

If you get e-mails from your Outlook mailbox and your phone has a mailbox called OWA, the service you are using is Out of Office.

If you get e-mails from your Outlook or Lotus Notes mailbox, you're using either Enterprise Edition or Workgroup Edition/Personal Edition. Please see the welcome message you got when registering the service to see if your System SEVEN administrator is your company's IT administrator. If the management console is on your own computer (see 'Start' -> 'Programs' on your computer), your service is Workgroup or Personal Edition.

Close
6. How do I keep the service from disconnecting? »

The most common reason for the service disconnects is that there's no network coverage, but once the network coverage is restored, the client will connect again automatically.

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

If you're in other network than your own, 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
7. 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 are using 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
8. How do I open and save an attachment? »

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

Close
9. How do I know I have the latest version? »

You can check the available upgrades by opening the System SEVEN home screen on the phone, choosing 'More' and 'Check for upgrades'. If there's new software available, it will be downloaded to your phone.

In the home screen of your SEVEN application, select 'More/Options' and 'General Settings' to change settings for the whole application.

To change account specific settings select the account and then 'Settings'.

Close
2. What is the tech address for? »

The 'tech address' can be seen in the About screen on the phone application. Technical address is a code given to your phone during the provisioning (i.e. during the installation process), with which all the traffic to and from this particular phone can be tracked in the push connector and relay server.

The accounts installed on the phone have an identifier after the technical address to tell them apart (e.g in the log files). Tech address helps when troubleshooting any problem with the application: with the help of it each action can be tied to certain phone and account.
