Mail Gateway Integration VI: Connection Check
Check Remote Access
- You should be able to navigate to the Mail Gateway or Exchange Server externally by opening one of the URLs:
- https://smg.imagoverum.com/Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync/HealthCheck.htm
- You should see the following result:
- https://smg.imagoverum.com/Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync
- You should get here to an Authentication Request form in your browser
- From here you can try (optional) to enter your ActiveSync credentials to check the authentication itself but afterwards you might face an error with "The page cannot be displayed".
The URLs may need to be entered in your browser in a key-sensitive way, and it may be helpful to type the URLs into the address bar by hand.
Check Client Connection
We recommend to first check the connection to Exchange ActiveSync by adding an Microsoft Exchange account to one of your target devices and configure there the connection details for Email, Server, Port, Domain, Username and Password manually. When you are able to add the account manually to Gmail or Mail, you can distribute your configuration with Silverback as highlighted in the following sections.

- Navigate to Tags
- Click New Tag
- Enter a Name, e.g. Exchange ActiveSync
- Add a description e.g. Mail Gateway Integration
