Been told to re-post this problem on this thread in case someone can help.
I have an ongoing issue with the MfE app in the N900 refusing to connect to our Exchange 2003 server. We have the latest pe1.1 firmware (checked it today 5th Feb 2010 and no newer firmware is avialble).
The MfE initialy worked fine and started the initial sync. As the initial sync finished, the only option was Previous. The Finish button didnt highlight. We left it ages (about 6 hours) but nothing, so we cancelled it and lost the lot.
We tried to set it up again straight away but now cant get past the server information. It says
"Exchange server is not responding verify account settings are correct".
We've checked the account, tried other accounts on the same server, and it says the same each time.
The SSL cert is a valid one and we can connect using the same user details to the servers web interface and work with email that way, so we are happy the server is workin. Other Exchange push devices are also working though this is the only N900 we have.
Any ideas ?
Olly
I'm using MfE with Exchange 2003, and self-signed certificate on the server. I imported the server certificate into my N900 and tagged it as "Server" and "E-Mail" certificate (not sure if both or either is necessary), and after that everything connected without issue. Also in my case the OWA has a different hostname than the mail server, so I imported certificates for both hosts. FWIW
update: here i will give you my exact settings.
For server name I actually use the OWA server, not the normal mail server. Port 443. Secure connection is ON
Same problem here guys! I had a gmail account working till the day before yesterday, now I get the "Exchange server is not responding. Verify that account settings are correct."
I have had the same issue with N900 on exchange 2007. According to the experts here its a provisioning issue, I guess N900 doesnt like to be controlled by exchange server that most corporate emails require. So for me, N900 is a $600 brick, because it does not support provisioning. It seems like N900 was made for teenagers or children, not adults

My only question is: When will provisioning be implemented? My N900 will have to stay in the box until then.
Currently, everything is syncing properly for me except the calendar. When I enable calendar, I have to select 'create new calendar', and then it will add all the items. However, if something in my calendar changes (events added in outlook), the entire sync will fail, so I end up disabling calendar after the initial sync, and then manually redo the process creating new calendars every time I want new information.
Now for the kicker. I work at Microsoft, so they put me on a dogfood 2010 exchange server. I don't know whether this is an issue of the N900 or the exchange server changing protocols or something, but since I haven't heard anyone else complaining about this problem (iPhone, WinMo), I suspect it is unique to n900, so I would like to investigate. Is there somewhere I can look at more detailed logs than just 'sync failed' in the gui?

As vitaly has stated earlier in this thread, it's currently not planned for Maemo 5 as quite a few of the policies would require significant changes on a platform level and not just work on MfE.

Thanks for the information.
Then Nokia marketing people do have a problem in being in compliance with the regulations on correct marketing.
All marketing material do promis Mail for Exchange functionality and as the S60 phones do work with a standard corporate setup, the same should be expected for this device.
And the developers, have the forgotten that IT security is a hot issue???? This is going to kill the main market for the othervise very fine device.
