3. see the directory contents:
ls -lh
; there should be a long file (something like x89x8x7087873234324.pem and then a short symlink to it 89737443.pem )
4. then just make the symlink:
cd /home/user/.activesync/certs/
ln -s /home/user/.maemosec-certs/ssl-ca/* .

this did the trick for me! But do this on your responsibility!

Dear All

I got my N900 this weekend but not able to set-up mfe and my is 2007(confirmed from IT team). reading tru this blog i found out there is way to install certificate as above. but i am wondering is this on my n900 or somewhere esle as i am not able to see any of these folders in my n900 using explorer...just help me where to find this root folder...or any other workaround to get mfe set-up in my N900. as of now it is saying for secure connection (it been disabled and for port 809 server not responding. I use to syn my iphone before to the same mfe... help me techies :confused:

vitaly_repin, I would not like to blame you, but rather thank you.

After getting my college's WEP key from a friend, I proceeded to set up MfE using only the information (+ guesswork) from Outlook Web Access' About page. Syncing worked a treat. Thank you. (I now can get notification of new e-mails in class w/out being resigned to go to a computer).

Although, now that I see it has tried to sync using my home network, is it possible to only allow it to sync on a certain network (i.e. options for WLAN only, and, within that, specific networks on which the syncing can take place)? Like how Modest has the option to use different SMTP servers depending on the AP you are connected to. Nothing major so don't worry about it if you/Nokia do not deem it a worthy feature.

I too would like to thank vitaly_repin.

got my unit today and one of the first things i did was to setup an MfE account. everything worked like a charm from the start, I didn't even have to import the certificate. user, pass, domain, hostname and it was good to go!

thumbs up!

You must use the console on N900 (X terminal, xterm), you cannot do this via windows. If you do not know what you are doing, please just wait for a software update.

Sync MFE Calender with N900 ver.1.2009.50-1
 
Hello,

I am using N900 with SW.version 1.2009.50-1 (preinstalled from Nokia).

Have being testing Mfe application that was preinstalled on it, and cannot get the calender synced, everything else works fine.


Is their any known workaround on this yet?

EAS 12.0, 12.1 specs are publicly available and you can start the development right now. You can (technically, not sure about legal consequences) ignore provisioning requests in your code and tell to the server "everything is OK" (something Nokia engineers are not allowed to do).


The current approach if weboutlook module sounds crazy to me:

> weboutlook is a Python module that retrieves full, raw e-mails from Microsoft Outlook Web Access by screen scraping

You have EAS 12.0 and 12.1 specs published. Just take them into use!

The only documentation which community does not have is EAS 2.5 (provided by MS Exchange 2003).

Fantastic, I'll look into that. But to be honest, just using screen scrapping would be fine (though crazy), I just need to see messages and events. I don't much care how elegant it is, as long as it works. I'll give it a shot though with EAS.

So then, could said library to be tinkered with to report that provisioning is enabled?

No. Of course no. Modest plugin and corresponding camel provider are responsible only for integration with email. Very thin layer. There are also protocol library (which I am dreaming to open source), storage library and as-daemon.

There is no possibility right now. As N900 Calendar GUI does not support the possibility to set events as private/normal etc, it has been decided to create "normal" events in the server.

From the other hand, it is (technically) possible to extend the solution to take the default value from gconf. But to make GUI for it is a different issue.

Unfortunately, no.

Check these posts for the details:

In fact, it looks like I started to collect the ideas which I can use to sell the idea of open-sourcing Maemo MfE to my management. :)
