Re: Mail for Exchange (MfE). Blame me here, pls

Nokia's monumental failure at corporate email. Why would anyone in their right mind HAVE TO import certificates? Even a freaking iphone doesnt have any of these issues

NOKIA needs to fire all the software writers and spend some money to poach good software developers from iphone

Thanks Mike,

After looking at the link, it does suggest that i can connect to Microsoft Outlook & sync my mails, Calendars,Notes, Task.

However I have mail for exchange also on Nokia 5800 & it has no option of syncing the mails offline, as the access point is suggested to be only WAP or Internet, though my microsoft outlook is only accessible on a VPN connectivity.

Is it possible to sync my outlook mails downloaded on Laptop with N900. My usage would be check some unread mails during the day & reply them in offline mode & when i sync N900 to Laptop again, it sends the reply via Laptop connectivity.

Hope i have been a lil more clear on what i am expecting.

Did you not use PC suite or Ovi Suite with your 5800? This syncs Outlook via USB cable to your laptop.
The N900 supports PC Suit.

Er... auto import would be nice, but normally in a corporate environment your IT department would provide you with the cert and install it for your. Installing it manually allows you to bypass the IT department :cool:

I,m not sure your apple comment is right either,and certainly are not constructive.

Any ideas?

I have the same error. It's not a certificate problem but probably your exchange server doesn't allow non-provisionable devices (like the N900).

Your Outlook at home is set up with some mail account with some mail server which delivers mail to your Outlook Inbox.

Look at the mail account settings in your Outlook at home and set up the same mail account in N900 (not as a Mail for Exchange account but as an ordinary (or IMAP) account). That way you get the functionality you seek.

I'm really hoping to see native Google/MfE integration, rather than a 3rd party implementation (which there's no way in hell I'm trusting with my credentials unless I have the source and compile it myself). The framework is in place, why reinvent the wheel?
