Results
The new Exchange ActiveSync account is created in Mail, Contacts, Calendars in your Settings application of your device. Registration with the HCL Traveler server begins immediately and mail, calendars, and contacts will begin to appear shortly. Do not open your Inbox immediately after the account is created as it causes additional syncing with the server and prolongs the initial syncing.
