The device lock is just a lock to stop pressing buttons while in the pocket and stop people using it without asking. It's never been part of the Mail support.
I can't say I've ever seen Exchange force any policy onto any Linux devices I've used with it; short of its own authentication it demands.

Its part of the Exchange Protocol.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/l.../cc182279.aspx
This applys to any device which syncs with an Exchange server. Windows Mobile, eSeries Symbian, iPhone all support password enforcement (invoke the device lock after x minutes, require password to unlock).

This IS definitely part of MFE security policy.
But my password is all numeric on my E71 and it works, so assume my V large company feels this is OK. But I'm sure they may change it in the future, so would be really good to make sure this gets fixed.

When you sync a new device with an Exchange Server, the first thing it does is enforce a its policy to the device. In most cases this includes a password policy - Mine enforces a alphanumeric password.
As the device cannot handle the enforcement of a alphanumeric password, the M4E client will not continue with the sync session and error.
So, what sync problems can occur if device safely ignores this "enforcement"? Why sync will stop to work?
If the device lock functionality cannot support alphanumeric passwords, M4E is dooomed in most mid > large business.
And it sounds brilliant for me as with this "really intelligent" MfE logic in S60 I have lost all my data in S60 phone including photos from my vacations. Just because in one not-so-wonderful moment I have forgotten my password and S60 reformatted my phone :-(
