I have an O2 XDA mini S.
I have spent about 12 hours trying to configure it, and am having a complete nightmare. Am completly stuck and hoping someone can help me.
I have put in all the settings on the XDA and told it to sync with our exchange server. The device connects and you can see it syncronising eg Calander 6/6, emails 60/60.
So it all looks like it is working I then go into my outlook email folder on the device and all my folders are there but they're all empty. I have altered the syncronisation options so it syncronise all my folders for the last 3 days, but still nothing.
Strangely if I create a calander appointment on the XDA it does get syncronised back to the calendar on the exchange server. The same if I send an e-mail, the e-mail does get sent and ends up on my exchange servers sent items.
So basically anything created on the XDA gets synced back to the exchange server, but anything created on the exchange server does not get synced across to the XDA. Even though when you connect it looks like it does.
We are using Exchange 2003 SP2, and ActiveSync Version 4.1.
Any help would be very much appreciated as we have bought 5 of these XDA's for all the top brass at my company and they are breathing down my neck asking when they are going to be set up.
Hi,
I'm sure you have already checked, but are the folders set to synchronise within Outlook on the device.
Menu/Tools/Manage Folders and put a cross in the appropriate boxes.
Apologies if you had already done this.
Regards,
White.
Thanks for the reply and yes I have already done that.
To clarify some of my earlier statements I am trying to do this wirelessly using GPRS, but to rule out any firewall problems (we use ISA 2004), I have plugged the device into my PC using a USB connection I have then changed the server address to the local address and the same thing happens.
The only slightly odd thing I'm doing is using an HTTP connection as I can't get the certificates to be accepted on the device for an HTTPS connection.
Duplicate post deleted,
Sorry.

Try this link
http://www.msexchange.org/tutorials...ng-Part1-Microsoft-DirectPush-technology.html
for me it works fine so I will try to help... but lets try the link first.
Have checked through our configuration with regard to the above link and everything is fine.
I just don't understand as the XDA appears to connect okay, and seem to be uploading from the server, it can also send things back to the server. It just doesn't actually recive anything.
It's so frustrating eg it will say reciving 0/61 e-mails it will then go to 61/61, eg like it has dowloaded them, but when you look nothing is there. It must be talking to the server though as it knows how many e-mails there are.
Not much help here..............
..............but I gave up with our exchange server !! 8-(
I, too, couldn't get past the certificate error.
Really pi**es me off !! Yet I can lie in bed @ home and VPN onto the server desktop via my XDA and my home WiFi switch/router and read my emails via the server's IE via the company intranet.....<shrug>
I HATE MS sooooooooooooooooo much !!
Enough redundant posting already !!
I agree
I agree it's crazy about the certificates, it's just bizarre that it doesn't give you the option to accept the certificate anyway. As I'm stuck with using HTTP now which is obviously not very secure. Well I would be stuck using HTTP if I could get it to work, but as posted before it just doesn't.
So stuck with dowloading my e-mails using IMAP, and syncing my calandar using a usb cable, which is not ideal.
Anyway once again any insight or help would be great.

Method 2 is what I've had to do to my exchange server to get anything working.
Thanks
Have already made the changes discussed in the article, as before I did that it was erroring out, now it appears to dowload the e-mails but nothing happens.
Thanks for the tip!
I needed this info!
Further info............
....................O2 have told me via dataservices support there is a problem with self-certification - This has come from Microsoft who have said there is an issue.
O2 and MS are working on a fix but no timeframe as yet - a number of users have reported the issue.
Third party certificates are OK apparently - I have tracked down a free source - www.cacert.org but whilst i have got a personal email certificate for my PC I can't get throught the documentation to obtain a certificate for the Exchange server at work. This is because, I think, we don't have a domain that's linked to it - we just VPN to an IP address......if anyone can help work out how to submit a valid certificate request, I'd be very grateful

so you are unable to set up the sync between your O2 and the exchange server? or you cant get the HTTPS to work at all?
my colleague is using a QTEK9100 and he managed to get the push mail to work. the sync with exchange server seems to be working. he couldnt get it work before this because exchange server need to have HTTPS enable, so we endup getting a digital cert from a vendor.
so now he is happily getting email push to his qtek. and sync works fine as well. i am yet to get my unit so i cant say much about the setting need to be done but there must be something missing here.
Hi.
I have Exchange 2k3 SP2 using my own certificates, an XDA Mini and XDA Exec with O2 GPRS all using push email fine. No issues with O2, Exchange, Microsoft or anything - it just works!
The only thing I did need to do on the XDA's was to import a copy of my Certificate Servers root certificate.
Have been using this with Exchange push for a couple of weeks and before then used the same setup with XDA IIi's using Exchange Activesync.

Lucky You, RB............
.............I, too have imported the server certificate but neither I nor O2 could get it to install on mine or their machines.....that's when they told me about the issue..................
It's a valid certificate cos our server works as it should !
The real crazy thing is, I can VPN to our server using my XDA via my home WiFi router, see the server desktop via mstsc and open my exchange mailbox using the company intranet in IE - all on my XDA in my bed !!!
Security ?!!? Pah!!!!
Hi
Which certificate have you imported, the certificate on the exchange server or the ROOT certificate from your Cert Server?
You need the ROOT CERTIFICATE not the Exchange Web Server certificate
Merlin
We're running...........
........SBS 2003 SP2 with Exchange Server
The certificate is the only one we have for the server as a whole.............
If you click on the certificate and look at the certification path tag, what does it say...(Can you post a screen shot of it?)

You sure his company exchange all set up ok? Make sure you are using SSL and that SSL certificates are installed correctly on the server. The sever to connect to is the same as your OWA server minus the https:// like mine for example is owa.domain.com
Mail Exchange
Hi,
had the same issue on my Galaxy running on Froyo JP6 with Exchange 2010 SP1.
It was a problem with security certificates. Fixed it by exchanging the email.apk.

An issue I had that confused me for ages with the exchange account was that I had forgotten to use my Exchange windows username to login, which was different to my email address alias.
So used to logging in everywhere with email addresses these days.
Hi,
Is he using an Internet access APN or an internal company one(with no access to internet). If this is the case first try to conect using the internet APN and after you get no resposne from the server try with the Intranet APN. It should work. This was the problem in my case.

Do you get a "Unable to connect to server" error on your Tab when trying to retrieve your email?

I had the exact same issue. Sprint released an update the other day that corrected my issue but it wasnt immediate.
If you are not sprint based, you are going to need the update from your provider
Hmmm that is bad i just have a free tab without carrier so i have to ask samsung for support, because it seems not to be a carrier problem, but a email app problem. Could you provide me your email.apk please?

I was connecting using PPTP and got the same problem. Try changing to IPSEC and see if your administrator can give you a password. That should solve the problem. Mine is working fine now.

Hi kiawui this problem does not have something to do with vpn.
I am the admin and it is definitly an issue with the tab. My galaxy s works fine with the active sync

Try mine, if you want. This is from an unlocked, unbranded European Tab, that I can personally confirm works fine with Exchange at our office.

Rapax could you add the odex?
Thanks, but this is the same that i have on my tab.
Probably i have to wait for the other version.
one ODEX file....coming up!
(zipped to conform with the uploader)
Iwill try that and report afterwards then. Hopefully it will be no issue with the ssl certificates

I'm also from Switzerland. (My Tab is from digitec.) But I've also problems to connect with our corporate Exchange 2010 SP1.
Just for verification: your Tab can sync with a Exchange 2010 SP1? the service pack is the important thing. As I know there is no problem if you have not installed it.
Thanks for your reply.

Best bet is to switch to TouchDown for Exchange support. Much better than the inbuilt free apps.

Currenty I use Moxier which also works good. But the buildin calendar as the contacts too would I like to use in the native apps

Hi Adrian,
It has nothing to do with the passwords, it is an EAS/Provision Problem for Android which is fixed in 2.2.1 and the funny thing is that my Galaxy S is working fine with the same Exchange, but the Tab is not, as i heard Sprint fixed that somehow.
I could rip Samsungs Heads of, for letting people buy their stuff and not supporting it then.
I have had the same problem across multiple devices. I stumbled on a solution yesterday and I now have exchange access using vanilla froyo (removed the blur) on my droid x and thankfully on my tab. I had been using Touchdown Exchange from the market for 8 months now and am always frustrated with the fairly regular database corruption problems on my android devices. Here is what I did...
After receiving the 'unable to connect' message for the hundredth time, I connected via wifi to my network AT WORK, where the exchange server is located. (I was on the actual domain locally) I cleared the cache and data from the email app and went through the setup again, manually. Voila, it connected, authenticated and I am now setup via push on my tab.
I wonder if it has to do with receiving the certificate from the server...
Hope this may help some of you.
It has been syncing fine over 3G ever since.

What kind of exchange do you have at work? The fault is only with the exchange 2010 and sp1

I have a problem with the stock browser, i can´t use my exchange web access account? I get the login box to enter username and password, but the server refuses to connect. Same with dolphin hd. Firefox and opera mobile browsers work well?
Anyone with the same problem?
i doubt it's the stock browser as i was able to connect to an exchange 2007 and exchange 2010 web access with zero issues. it's possible that it could be your owa setup. my buddy, in local law enforcement, was also able to log into his dept's owa account without issue.
I can connect to OWA on Exchange 2003 using the default browser without a problem as well.
I have the same problem. It works with Firefox but not with stock. I built the Exchange environment in my company and I know it's properly configured. I can access it on my HTC Sapphire (I know it's old) stock browser.
When I get a chance, I'll check the logs and if I find anything, I'll let you know.
I was having the same problem. I had to contact my IT dept and they gave me good information. It seems that for the outgoing server, I had to put "es8000" in front of the email address such as: es8000.email.xxx. The security type was TLS/authentication and my port was 25. Now these may be different for you but you may need to verify the outgoing specs.

Remember, getting it up and running is half the job. When we set ours up, exchange was configured correctly, but the firewalls (both internal and external) caused havok.
Owa does work, I use it daily. If you're sure your exchanges is setup correctly, then you may need to start looking at everything else in between, as something else isn't right

Looks like Windows 2008 doesn't have SSL 3.0 or TLS 1.0 by default. I found that you just add the appropriate Registry entries. I'll let you know if this works.

Hi - I have been trying to get my Nexus 7 working with an Exchange 2003 server and having trouble. Essentially I get a "Waiting for Sync .... your email will appear shortly" and then nothing. I am using the stock email client. Has anyone got similar issues or know how I can solve? I am definitely connected to the server as when I give it incorrect credentials I get a message telling me so.
Phoning Google I didn't get much help! Or my email provider...
Thanks
Spencer.

I've had problems with various systems and my exchange 2003 mail account (windows 8 in particular) - I have an exchange 2010 account that works fine. Not a solution but you're not alone.
Not a solution but I too am having difficulty getting the Nexus 7 working with Exchange 2003. I can sometimes get the Nexus 7 to connect without client SSL certificates but I have had absolutely no luck at all when attempting to use client certs. When attempting to use a client cert I get the following error message:
"Couldn't open connection to server"
I use the exact same settings and cert with my Galaxy Nexus running 4.0.4 ICS and it works fine. I suspect the problem may be some compatibility problem between Jelly Bean and Exchange 2003.
