You cannot see the access key numbers for the commands or for the links on your mobile device screen

Symptoms

Assume the following: You use a mobile device that is running an Openwave browser to connect to Outlook Mobile Access. When you view the commands or the links, the number for the corresponding access key that you must press on the keypad to use the command or to follow the link is not displayed on the mobile device screen. However, if you do press an access key, the key functions as expected, and you can access the command or the link.

Note An access key is a key sequence that you use to access a command or a link.

Cause

This issue occurs because the mobile device does not generate extended characters correctly. Instead, the mobile device generates unrecognizable characters. This issue does not occur on mobile devices that are running the Openwave Universal Edition browser. This problem was first corrected in Exchange Server 2003 Service Pack 1.

Workaround

To work around this issue, install Exchange Server 2003 Service Pack 1.
