This is what I got from the log:

2.5 means Exchange 2003, basically.

Yep. Looks like infamous provisioning problem: http://wiki.maemo.org/Mail_For_Excha...Q#Provisioning

Exchange 2003 support is introduced in PR1.1 upgrade. Yes, ongoing bug-fixing activity is happening all the time. Regarding to all the supported servers (MS Exchange 2003 and MS Exchange 2007).

If so, is there any way I can help?
As usually, via bug filing or e-mail client fixing (which is open-sourced).

Quote:

Also, is the source available for the exchange / activesync stuff, or is it proprietary? I could probably fix it. :)
MfE is proprietary. Modest (e-mail client) is open-sourced. So, if the bugs or wrong/stupid behavior is caused not by MfE but by modest, you could help by fixing it :-)

Hmm. If it tells you this, it means that it can not resolve the host address which you enter in the server name field. Try it with the browser.

Does it contain only server name or the path as well?

E.g.:

server. com - only server name
server.com/path - server name + path.

And I don't have any fact in my pocket which give me a hope that google wants to bring this compatibility on board. At least, I have never been contacted by any google server guy. So, what do you expect from Nokia engineers? To try to catch the black cat in the black room?

If server does not want to be compatible with the client, what client could do?

Me too. What I wanted to say is that MfE team is not the team which shall be blamed for absence of provisioning support. Just to be clear - this is not MfE issue. This is device-wide issue.

It's not normal usage, no - "strongly advised" would be better (hardly is more often used in this sense to mean "not really").

Freemantle 2010-02-08 14:22

Re: Mail for Exchange (MfE). Blame me here, pls
 
hardly advised, probably means it's not advised. Otherwise it would be strongly or heavily advised.

Sad news first: Current MfE available for the public does not work with client certificates. At all.

Better news: we are working on this right now. This is important bug to fix as this is 100% legal use case.

OK. Thanks for the clarification. Wanted to tell "strongly recommended" and told "not recommended". Funny.

I think you might have confused "hardly advised" with "heartily advised". They're effectively opposites, but they sound almost the same, so it's an easy mistake to make. Your English is excellent.

1. I know about server provisioning. What forced you to think opposite?
2. A lot of Nokians use N900 without any problems. And IT department was not forced to change their policy to satisfy N900.

Regarding provisioning in general - it looks like a difference in corporate cultures in Europe and USA. European corporations tend to allow non-provisionable devices. American tend to disallow.

in addition to that, "hardly advised" would be the direct translation for a number of languages. it's a common mistake amongst germans, f.ex.

btw, i already took the liberty of changing that word in the MfE Wiki site :)

This message means that the connection to the server can not be established in a reasonable amount of time (90 secs).

It can be caused by several reasons:
1) The server is really not accessible from the network you use. E.g., the port is filtered by the firewall. You can try to check is this a reality using the command line (xterm) and telnet utility.
2) The connection can be established but the server does not respond to the specific query in 90 secs.

Most probably your case is the second if you are able to start initial sync. In this case you can try to disable syncing of calendar and contacts and check how initial sync proceeds. And enable it later from the configuration application.

It would be nice with a PR1.1 thread - and when PR1.2 or whatever comes out - do a summary and create a new thread.

just my two cents....

I am trying to keep wiki updated: http://wiki.maemo.org/Mail_For_Excha...rtbeat_and_FAQ

Regarding the new thread - I agree with you. I suggest to switch to a new thread when new MfE release will be publicly available.

Hahahhahahaah..............good one Vitaly. I have to admit that you are a hard working guy and I like you. Unlike Nokia Apologizers such as TexRat, you are factual with your comments.

Regarding the corporate culture, you are right. Americans are obsessed with their security and being able to control things (control freaks). That is the culture, and that is why I prefer Nokia Way. However, I need to respond hourly on my phone, and without being to sync with my server...................this wonderful device is of no use. And I will guberize until provisioning enabled!

Haha, that made my day!

Back to topic.

I get somewhat confused when trying to depict whether a feature request is MfE-related or not. After having it given some thought I come to the conclusion that this most eventually origins from where in maemo I make the desired settings. When setting up a MfE-account on the E71 I can define settings which are definitely not related to MfE-functionality per se. But the options are integrated in the GUI-wizard.

As example I would bring up whether to sync or not when on a GSM/ UMTS roaming connection (or similar with folder-subsciptions). All entries/ settings are set on the MfE-wizard though they are not directly MfE-related function-wise. But sure are GUI-wise.

As end-user you probably couldn't care less if the feature you just enabled by check-box is "powered" by MfE or some other tiny daemon hidden somewhere in the vaults of the maemo OS. But having those settings all in one place is what I'd call (end)user-friendly ;-)

What would I want to say?

I can't help thinking that there should be included as much setting options as possible in the MfE-wizard (or MfE settings tab) - even if they're not directly linked to MfE's original purpose - plain sync.
But the GUI - at least for me - is part of the MfE project too.

I know this sounds somehow ignorant to the devs' work behind the scenes, but having a nicely working/ feature-rich GUI is what probably 90% of us N900 users judge your progress on - especially since we can't check out SVN on changes ;-)

Hi Vitaly !

Welcome back !

Sorry to bother you...but if you could look at this issue...you'll make me happy and I could start using N900. Now it is alone in the desk :-( .
I don't know if the problem is due to the VERY POOR Calendar or to a problem in MFE protocol with 2003 server.
I cannot use calendar and task sync... it crashed the MFE sysnc process...Probably for the presence of recurring events..someone has showed a workaround to this issue but I don't have the time to cancel every recurring event in Outlook Exchange...so please...fix this as soon as possible.

Another thing: do you know someone responsible for Calendar/Modest coding in Maemo team?
We need to have those apps upgraded in several ways to improve usability and basic missing features.
Where we have to ask ?

Thanks,
Cesare

Hi,

I would suggest that those who believe in this thread moderate it themselves. Don't feed the troll and don't allow them to gain more momentum than required (none at all).

I will not hesitate to close this thread if it becomes a troll cave.

There are 2 ways to influence the responsible Maemo components:

1) File the bugs against corresponding components in maemo bugzilla
2) Contribute to the open-sourced code.

Modest is fully open-sourced. And calendar backend is open-sourced as far as I remember.

Hi!

Don't know if this has been asked before but I couldn't find anything about it. We're running Exchange 2007.

- Move message to another exchange folder - supported? I dont have the option like in the imap-accounts.

- Cut and paste? Loosing my mind on this one...

Hi Vitaly !

Well...I think it is the same issue of that bug but I couldn't attach logs etc...really not having the time to breath :( in this period.
..so I voted the bug already.
I have many recurring events (most of them are birthdays but I can't manually delete all of them in outlook since I should do this one by one). All I can say is that I'm using Exchange 2003 SP2, the last firmware PR 1.1 and that I can successfully sync email and contacts but It freeze the sync process when I try to sync calendar and task.
I suggest anyway to separate the flag in MFE for the calendar and task in order to have more granularity and isolate potential problmes in one of them.

It would be nice also to sync the Notes.

Regarding the contributing to Modest/Calendar I'm really sorry but I can't do any coding :mad: (I'm not a programmer) and I'm not sure that file a bug for a missing feature or a improvment is a correct use of bugzilla.
..I saw also Brainstorm section and I voted for many of the beautiful ideas expressed over there but the problem is: who will implement them ?

It is really strange that with all the programmer Gurus here nobody is working to improve Calemdar and Modest programs in order to gain a decent PIM functionality.

Just another coin in the box. I stoped using the N900 some weeks ago as also my company requires provisioning support on their exchange 2007 environment. I had to go back to my old phone.

Really a pitty, but without sync'in mail and calendar it is not an option for me to use it.

So I play some Jewel on it once-in-a-while and that is it....:-(

Hello im just wondering about the provisioning.
In fact it really seems to be a US issue, talked to several IT Guys here in big European based companies, and nobody is using provisioning.
They even told me that this is not a security issue but its just like it has been all the years and it stays like this :)
About the certificates, I tried using it with my M4EX Server in P12 Format which I use on my NOKIA E71 and also the Blackberry Storm i use lately for testing.
Sometimes works like charm sometimes not. But I think if the Certificate is in proper P12 Format it can work just not stable enough.
Never mind I do really not think that somebody buys the Device just for the Mail for Exchange usage, due for that its just too big, so its absolutely pointless that some people call it a brick for 600 $, not mentioning names due they are not able to use M4EX with N900 :D

Hi,

I have a problem Saying that: Error in communication with Exchange Server

This happens everytime I n900 syncs with exchange.

I had a thread here, but figured this might be a better place.

A quick summary of the other thread:
I am running Exchange 2003 with a Self-Signed Certificate, this is all working correctly, the instructions to get this working were simple and easy to follow.

Syncing happened fine for a while, using a mixture of Always On, Manual etc

Now, I get the above message evertime it syncs, I have tried syncing just one item type at a time, contact, and calendar both sync with no problem, so the issue is something to do with e-mails
One thing I did do before I noticed this error was to enable my skype account, and merge the contacts......however, now I am not sure that is so relevant.

I have attached a log for anyone to look at (obviously replacing IMEI, username, domain etc)

It appears to have an error of 1004, but I am not completely sure of what is going on in the log, so I may be wrong.

Might be useful, I had a similar problem and one day mails didn't want to sync anymore. If I just set to sync contacts and calendar only all would complete fine.
I found out that the problem was the "Deleted Items" folder I had and everything went back to normal after disabling it with M4Efolders app.

Have you used mfefolders. I am finding the app takes about 30 seconds to open and then closes after 30 seconds before i finish any settings.

Any advise out there is much appreciated.

one pair is local, the other on the server.

the mail client currently doesn't save sent items on the server (this applies to IMAP accounts as well).

Thanks, I've suspected something like that. It does the same also for the Drafts and if you start a mail in Outlook it is not possible to continue where you left on Modest. It's quite annoying.

I think this is because there is a phone (local) Drafts, Sent and Outbox which is common to all messaging items, thn second set appear as 'web' folders as they are the ones held on the exchange server

I might be wrong, but that's my guess

I found out that the problem was the "Deleted Items" folder I had and everything went back to normal after disabling it with M4Efolders app.

Tried mfefolders, and it now all works fine.....not sure if it was the deleted items folder as I have disabled a couople of others too, but i suspect it was

In fact it really seems to be a US issue, talked to several IT Guys here in big European based companies, and nobody is using provisioning.
They even told me that this is not a security issue but its just like it has been all the years and it stays like this :)
About the certificates, I tried using it with my M4EX Server in P12 Format which I use on my NOKIA E71 and also the Blackberry Storm i use lately for testing.
Sometimes works like charm sometimes not. But I think if the Certificate is in proper P12 Format it can work just not stable enough.
Never mind I do really not think that somebody buys the Device just for the Mail for Exchange usage, due for that its just too big, so its absolutely pointless that some people call it a brick for 600 $, not mentioning names due they are not able to use M4EX with N900 :D

Would you carry around a device that you can not access your email?

I might be a complete dumbo, but I just found out why my Google Apps Premier account was not sync'ing and giving me the "Exchange Account Disabled. Access Refused" message...it was because I had not gone into the Google Mobile service settings and enabled Google Sync. Doh!

See the instructions here

Just started the MfE sync process and connected correctly. Lets see if the whole process completes properly...I will report back

I dream of not being able to access my email all the time. Think of all the crises that I wouldn't know about all the time. Bliss.
