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?)
Does anyone know an application to connect to BES (like BB connect) for the HTC desire?

Hi, thanks for the quick reply, however the link you gave refers to Blackberry Messenger. I'm looking for the e-mail program (connect to my Blackberry Enterprise Server), available today for HTC phones running WindowsMobile, the name is: Blackberry Connect. Wondering if this is available for Android2.1.
can someone help?
why bother with blackberry connect? just connect directly to your exchange server.

we talk about a big company, where the IT policy allows only blackberry connections....
I was using BB Connect until yesterday when I switched from WinMo to Android on my new Desire. What a fantastic phone it is!
Today, there is not a BB Connect for Android.
I got around this by having our IT Admin folks enable my profile on our webmail system to have it push to my Desire. Works perfectly.
If your company allows you to use Webmail e.g. in your browser you enter webmail.<your coy name>.com then you can probably get your mail ok.
Hope this helps - good luck.

can you elaborate on the settings. I can access my work email via owa so how do I get them pushed to phone. I don't want to use the seven application.
Sent from my HTC Desire using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
Here are the settings for the mail client on your phone:
Email address: <your email address at your company>
Server Address: for my coy it is "webmail.<coy name>.com
Domain: <coy name.com>
Username: <the name you use when logging in to your webmail server>
Password: <the same password you use for webmail>
You also need to get this "enabled" on the email server side. I don't know how it's done but my folks did it very quickly. Probably just a check box or something similar.
If you can already access your email via webmail (OWA) then the setting is already enabled or rather there is nothing left to do. In the mail app set up an exchange activesync account with username, password, and the owa address and the software will do the rest. If you want push email and proper gal browsing then you need to look at apps such as touchdown, Moxier mail, or k9. Currently trialling touchdown which is working like a treat thus far...

thanks works a treat. I was not aware that you could do that with owa.

Yeah - so easy when you think about it. At my workplace people were saying it was impossible to get work email on the phones unless you had a Blackberry. Considering we didn't have a BES and only Exchange that didn't make sense to me.
After mucking around with ISA server etc. I realised what the BB users were doing - a classic 'D'OH!!!' moment. After that it was plain sailing...
Hi everyone,
I have a big problem with the Tab.
Since i have a galaxy s i know my exchange is working fine over activesync,
But the Tab is not. Everytime i try to set the connection up, makes no difference if through email new account, or accounts and it starts to connect in exchange i can se the request cominf n and the phone beeng ad as device for the user, but it never connects on the tab.
Any ideas?

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.

Thanks, but this is the same that i have on my tab.
Probably i have to wait for the other version.

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.

Hi.
I've just gotten the GT and having problems trying to connect to my office exchange account.
I just kept gettung the error 'unable to connect server'.
I've read on some website that theres a bug in the exchange of certs between exchange 2007 and android 2.2. Does anybody has a solution to this? I've tried using TouchDown to connect to the same account and it works so the problem has to be with the native email client.
I brought this GT mostly for work purposes and without a email client, tge GT is pretty useless. Am i'm screwed?

I seem to recall a setting where you can force the Tab to retrieve the certificate. I had to do this to make it work. I can not remember exactly where the option is listed though.
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.
