This is concerning for me as well.

I have not yet received my N900, but if I understand this thread correctly, the N900 only allows numeric codes for the device lock. If your company requires an alpha-numeric code for the device lock as part of the corporate Exchange Activesync policy, then the N900 will not sync?

My company requires an alpha-numeric device lock code, and my current E71 works without fail.

I have been waiting for the N900 for a while, but if I cannot use it to sync to my corporate mail, it will likely cause me to cancel my order. Am I missing something?

It all depends on the policy of your organization - are non-provisionable devices supported or not.

If they are supported then you will not have any troubles. Otherwise, you can experience them.

How come that excludes N900s, but not E71s?
MS guys can say whatever they want. This is not about "older" devices. This is about devices which have this feature supported or not. Linux device is a totally different animal than MS Windows device which was in mind of MS guys when they were creating the protocol.

So you say you can only use MfE with certificate, if you use a "non-self-signed-certificate"??
C'mon, if I decide to trust that certfiicate is has to work, right?!

BTW: I set up another exchange2007 w/o certificate for testing and synchronisation stops at nearly 50%... any ideas?!

You can use a self-signed certificate if you install it as described here and in the following posts in that thread. (Link taken from https://wiki.maemo.org/Mail_For_Exch...rtbeat_and_FAQ )

I agree with badger. I have the same issue. Sync stuck due to security issues

Could you check what protocol is used? My guessing is that it is either 2.5 or 12.0 (probably, this one as you use Exchange 2007).

what i really want in this app is ability to choose folders which phone would sync. Today, all folders are synced and i don't need all of them on phone.
