Microsoft Exchange Server and N810
 

Hi,

There is a way for get synced my N810 with my Email account hosted at Microsoft Excahnge Server? I just need to sync, Contacts, Calendar, E-Mails and Tasks.

Thanks in advance,

Taguapire.

Look into Outlook Web Access (or Outlook Web Client).

I know about OWA, but I don't want to access a web page for get my e-mails, schedules and tasks. I want sync all with my N810 and get a local copy of each item.

Thanks,

Taguapire.

Yeah, that'd be nice. But since we can't, we're stuck with Web Access. I'm going to go ahead and do something which otherwise annoys me, but man, if you'd read any random given post on this forum, chances are that it'd be about how there's not decent PIM-solution for the tablets. Nokia obviously screwed up when they thought the customer-base for an internet-tablet didn't care about offline contacts/mail/tasks etc, but hey, this is what we're stuck with. And I love my tablet anyway!

Besides, OWA ain't half bad. Even runs good when accessing the web through BT on my cell.

I found a project related to create a free open source library for get conncted to Exchange protocol. They are doing reverse engineering to Microsoft protocol and will provide an open MAPI for developers to integrate any mail app to that enviroment. They didn't reach the final stage yet but when it is done, is suppossed that a third party is thinking on develop a maemo flavor. I did lost the URL but I will search it again. I'll post it later.

Maybe any good developer can help to this happen, I mean, port it to Maemo platform using an good Mail app, like.... mmmmmm, let me guess!!! .... mmmm. Modest??? ;)

It wasn't as much a "screw up" as a deliberate marketing move to separate multimedia from enterprise devices. That's not to say the situation will remain that way forever, though.

Texrat,

Don't tease me like that! :p

It's my job. :D

Re: Microsoft Exchange Server and N810
 

Reverse engineering may not be required soon... It sounds like MS is going to be a little more open with regards to interop going forward.

They will release some breadcrumbs from their code. I'm not so optimist but may be in some way and in specific moment, Openchange project may use it "opened" software source code, all depends on agreements and licences; because you can open your code for gain interoperatibility but based in other source not Microsoft one... this mean that I can't use it in any open project, because of licencing stuff.

Any way... we must wait and see...

Please read this: http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/p...y/default.mspx

Nothing about opening the Microsoft sources, just interoperability information not more...

Hey, just because they did it on purpose doesn't mean it wasn't a bit of a mistake. :) I know I've done tons of things quite deliberately which in retrospect turned out to be rather bad ideas. My mohawk at age 15 comes to mind for instance...

I actually personally don't really miss the PIM-stuff, but a lot of people would've been thrilled to see some basic syncing-capabilities built in from the start I think. It's -the- most commonly requested function on these boards from what I can see.
