I ask the question becuase I have to date found an application on Android that can render HTML code from an Exchange 2003 server. Lots of them can do it from Exchange 2007.
I don't think it is an Exchange problem because the iphone can render them correctly.

I have upgraded to WM6 and its working like a dream. One of the features that attracted me was the html mail. Ive read all the threads however cant find any official confirmation that Exchange 2007 is a requirement to receive and display HTML mail on Pocket Outlook. My exchange Administrator/Host is insisting that its the client that displays and renders the HTML the server just sends through the code! Can anyone point me in the direction of a definitive statement that confirms this?
WM6 will display HTML email for POP/IMAP and/or Exchange 2007. It will not display HTML for Exchange 2003. This is how 2003 sends the email to the device and yes it is the ex 2003 limitation. Exchange 2007 does work well and it is a big plus. But exchange 2007 is designed to run on Windows 64 bit server vs 32 bit. So just upgrading to 2007 is not that easy for some. You can (if your company security allows) set up to receive IMAP mail from your exchange server.
There was some talk on MS technet and MS MSDN forums about a hotfix to allow 2003 to send HTML to WM6 devices, but seems MS would rather spend time on getting us to switch to Vista, Office 2007 and Exchange 2007.
I have both a production Exchange 2003 server and a test Exchange 2007 server. So far, Exchange 2007 performs great, although moving our existing 32-bit Exchange 2003 installation will be costly (new 64-bit hardware, new OS, new Exchange, new CALs, etc, etc.). But from a Windows Mobile 6 perspective, there are some interesting features Exchange 2007 enables in Outlook Mobile beyond just HTML email. One of the cooler is the "search server" feature which will search all of the email on your server, not just the last 3 days or so you may have downloaded to your device.
Also, I am connected via IMAP over SSL to my Exchange 2003 server and HTML email comes through just as expected.

I have my exchange server set up to retrieve the headers from the last day Via Push and then my Imap checking every 30 minutes, that way I still get notification of new emails. you may wish to try this.

Can some explain this... are you saying that even with Exchange 2003, its possible to have HTML push email? if so, how???
does any one know of a solution to get exchange2007 support level on a home pc?
I found "kerio"`s solutions but it gives only exchange 2003 support(no HTML),
did any one find a solution?
so, what do I hope to find?
A fully compatible exchange 2007 mail server for my home pc, something like "kerio mail server".
That way I can active sync my WM6 tytn to my own server and get full HTML support.
A free web host that has exchange 2007(mail2web does not support 2007) will be nice two
hi,
does the roms of windows mobile 6 proposed here can show e-mails coded with HTML ?
I think so...
But this only depends on the Exhange server... you must have SP2 installed and functionnality activated.
mUn_rus one does...
html mails don't work with exchange 2003 sp2 direct push (converted to plaintext). i think it's only supported with exchange 2007 in combination with direct push. through pop3 it's no problem with html mails
If you install windows live and have a hotmail account you would see your hotmail html email in your device in real time.
my 2 cent
Yes, only Exchange 2007 which have to be installed on a 64bit machine. So if you havn't got one, you can use one of the hosted exchange planes you can find on the net. i hav'nt found free plan with exchange 2007 yet, but u can find 2007 plans starting at about 8$ with full access (mobile/web/desktop)
I have been using my Kaiser with WM6.1 latest Dutty's ROM (very nice ROM y the way) and getting pushed email from work which they were using exchange 2003. Today they moved my account to the exchange 2007 server, I reconfigured the server on the phone just to make sure that hopefully I was going to get all the EXC 07 like html email, out of office assistance, etc.... but I did not get anything of that. ....... Would they have to activate that at the server side?
As far as I know HTML email isn't supported via synchronising with exchange 07. I tried for days rtying to get it working with my 2007 server and my WM6 device, but it didn't work. I emailed tech support and the said it wasn't supported
No clue about out of office assistance, sorry
Actually HTML mail with Exchange 07 is supported. I run an Exchange 07 server, and there is an option to enable HTML email. I don't remember if it's enabled by default, because it involves an Activesync policy configuration on the server and so on. Basically, ask your Exchange admins (if you can) to create a default Activesync policy that can be applied to your phone.
kltye... could you??

could you mention where exactly in the configuration you have to set the html email and the out of office assistant.... they tell me that my account has already those setting but I do not see it happening in my device... I am using duttly 1999 ROM, would it be a matter of certificates missing?
This issue is closed... Sync with Exchange 2007
Guys, just to let you know that I spent almost 3 days trying to configure Activesync through Exchange 2007 with latest Dutty's ROM without success. I had to go back to the original ROM on my HTC branded phone to finally get all the feature of exchange 2007 like HTML email, fetch mail, out of office assistant, etc.
In case somebody that has synchronized in any 6.1 cooked ROM I would appreciate to let us know which one is as I think there is where the failure is….
Hi All
One of the main problems I face in IT is having multiple exchange server mail accounts on Windows Mobile. However today I have finally solved the problem using my Shift... here's how.
The problem stems from the simple fact that you must only have ONE ACTIVESYNC partnership, and use IMAP4 for all other Exchange accounts.
PROBLEM
=======
Using IMAP4 is problematic. The protocol is not fully implemented and followed by IMAP on Exchange 2000 or Exchange 2003. Exchange 2007 finally follows the IMAP4 standard and thus allows it's use here.
The additional problem with IMAP4 (and this affects most WM5 and WM6 devices and the iPhone), is to do with deleting emails on your remote device.
Emails that are deleted either....
a. Remain in your mailbox so when you connect say at work or home using a full Outlook client the mails still appear,
b. they remain but also are 'deleted' in your Deleted Items.
This forces you into a manual DOUBLE DELETE and is a real pain to do every time every day.
The problem is with how mobile devices use the EXPUNGE command under the IMAP protocol. EXPUNGE must be issued to FORCE Exchange to remove the deleted items. It now appears that the Shift correctly follows the use of EXPUNGE and in conjunction with Exchange Server 2007 this now works like a dream.
Therefore....
EXCHANGE SERVER1 - USE ACTIVESYNC
EXCHANGE SERVER2 - USE IMAP4
EXCHANGE SERVER3 - USE IMAP4
etc for all other exchange mail accounts.
The servers you use IMAP4 on MUST BE EXCHANGE 2007....
Here is a link to enabling IMAP4 on Exchange 2007 as by default it is disabled.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb124489.aspx
I have upgraded one of my exchange servers to Exchange 2007 and now do the following;
EXCHANGE SERVER 2003 mail account - ACTIVESYNC
EXCHANGE SERVER 2007 mail account - IMAP4
This now correctly works, allows me access to both my mail accounts and the Shift properly issues EXPUNGE and my IMAP4 mailbox is updated correctly for when I then use my full Outlook client.
Hope this helps everyone, as this has been my biggest headache using Windows Mobile and multiple mail accounts in the Corporate World....

But this isn't a real solution as I still can't sync 2 calendars/list of contacts and IMAP doens't support push-mail as far as I know...
Yes, what about contacts and calendars? How do you handle those?
