Hello,
first time Android user here. I know people in my company that use Android phones and I was told that anything over 2.1 would work for our exchange. When I try to set up the account, it tells me that the server requires security features the phone doesn't have. No one at my IT department, TMO support, Samsung Support, or anyone else could get it working. I know it has something to do with the password protection and remote wipe security that my companies exchange server requires. Can someone help me or will i have to go back to the blackberry ? I don't want to go back to that berry.
Try installing K9 and see if it works with your company's exchange system.

Touchdown works well with exchange as well (although it's not free). There is a free trial.
I was using touchdown untill android 2.2 came out then it started supporting remote wipe.
http://developer.android.com/sdk/android-2.2-highlights.html
Once you setup your phone it should force you to password lock it from the home screen. Don't know what else they would require other than remote wipe in the event you left the company. I need to make sure I use ssl as well.
Could be a problem with the SSL cert
I use exchange with no problems on all my android projects.
I still have not gotten this to work. N1kkI6, that is exactly what i need on this. I would assume that 2.3 would have this if 2.2 has it right?
from the link you provided:
Exchange support
Improved security with the addition of numeric pin or alpha-numeric password options to unlock device. Exchange administrators can enforce password policy across devices.
Remote wipe: Exchange administrators can remotely reset the device to factory defaults to secure data in case device is lost or stolen.
Exchange Calendars are now supported in the Calendar application.
Auto-discovery: you just need to know your user-name and password to easily set up and sync an Exchange account (available for Exchange 2007 and higher).
Global Address Lists look-up is now available in the Email application, enabling users to auto-complete recipient names from the directory.

It should work fine. It could possibly be ssl certificate related, or maybe they don't have ActiveSync enabled on your account.. who knows. What sort of error do you get if any? I use Android on Exchange. Is it Exchange 2003/2007/2010?

Is there a way to have the Exchange email password apply ONLY to the email program?
Touchdown does this, but it doesn't use the native calendar, so you are forced to use only their calendar widgets and input methods. When using Touchdown, you are only asked for your password/PIN when entering the email program. There is not one on the lockscreen.
Is there another eMail program that is set up similar? But, one that lets you use the native calendar?
(PS: I've tried K9, but I cannot use it on our exchange server)
trying to use the native email client in place of the company authorized touchdown.
Is there a way to do that.
I've done the following with the hope to make it work
took all the settings from touchdown onto the boxer app and I get the message not authorized to sync with server.
When I delete touchdown, mobileiron tries to install the profile on the mail client and the mail client gives the error unable to upgrade account.
I don't know what else to do. I'm new to the galaxy world and would love to use the native mail client so I can see the combined calendars.
Hi,
I´m using the inbuild mail app with an POP3-account, Z5 is stock ROM. When I delete an email on the Z5, the mail is also deleted on the server.
But when I delete an email on the server (e.g. via webmail or when I download them with my desktop client), the mails aren´t deleted on the Z5.
Is there any solution or workaround for this?
IMAP is not available, and I don´t want to use another mail app.
Thanks!
Greetings,
Philip
Hi
I don't think there is any work around, it's just how POP3 works.
POP3 is really designed for use on one client, where the client downloads and removes the mail from the server. It then becomes the only device with that email. There is a function that allows the email to be left on the server, so another device could also collect it, but all devices are totally separate.
As you seem to indicate, IMAP sounds like the solution, or activesync, where the email is kept on the server, and you effectively work with a mirrored copy of those emails on your device.
If you are working with your own domain, get Gmail to collect the email, alias your current email address, and then make use of their activesync capabilities.

Hi,
thanks for your reply.
From my HTC I used before I know, that this "feature" worked - so I expected this from the new Xperia
Lets see, maybe there´s a fix in an update...
OK, so Google in all it's wisdom has trashed their native gmail app with a "feature" that is supposed to secure mail connections but, in practice, is a bug that I presume they do not intend to fix. WoopDdoo. Unfortunately, the mail server I use does not maintain such certificates and does not plan to.
So now I need a different email client. Any suggestions for one of the smaller mail freeware apps, ad-free?
