Re: Mail for Exchange (MfE). Blame me here, pls
 
Company finally upgraded to Exchange 2007, I was excited to have HTML email in my N900 finally... but everything is black & white. I do see image placeholders (but the images themselves don't load), and bold text is emboldened. So at least it's better than with Exchange 2003, but still not the same as other "normal" e-mail accounts.

Is this normal or have I got something configured badly?

Is there a way to stop the N900 from editing my contacts every time I send an email to them?

This is a serious issue for many reasons:
  • Nokia doesn't support categories, so when you email someone, the categories in their contact card are deleted!
  • Nokia doesn't support more than 256 characters for the address field, so every time you email someone, their address is truncated!

Anyway, it's strange that MfE is replacing contacts rather than sync'ing them. With other Nokia phones, unsupported fields were kept!

PS: The back-end I'm sync'ing with is my company's Exchange 2007.

I can confirm those two bugs too happening also with Exchange 2003. Would you like to raise them in https://bugs.maemo.org ?

I also have some contacts created in the N900 that don't sync back. But I'm not yet able to reproduce it at will. :(

OK it seems to work on HTML email but not rich text, or whatever regular Outlook emails use... :confused:

This has been explained in this thread some pages ago.
There is a local drafts and sent items folders on Modest.

For me the annoying is the drafts since I can't continue with writing the mail when I hop to my PC.
