Help Activesync and Calendar

[shudman]

This is driving me nuts, and I really cannot be alone....

Activesync to an Exchange 2010 server. Mail and contacts work brilliantly...Calendar, yields "Connection socket timeout" after about 2 mins of trying to sync. It seems folks have been having this problem for quite some time, and there seems to be only one (somewhat plausible) explanation, which doesn't work for me. (adding categories" to all of my meeting requests and removing them).
I really want to make this a good business tool, but without a calendar, it is falling dreadfully short. It now will not even push calendar items from HTCsync to the phone...so I am somewhat dead in the water with NO appointments being synced.
Someone please help !! HTC ...come on get this fixed.

Well...I managed to fix it, but it is tedious

1. I created a new calendar Outlook, and for EVERY recurring appointment, 2 weeks back and EVERYTHING forthcoming, I copied (copy series) into that new calendar. This includes birthdays and other annual events.
2. I then deleted th ones in the initial calendar.
3. Synced the DHD...calendar sync'ed fine !!
4. Block by block....I recopied the calendar items back to the original calendar, syncing the phone after each block (leaving it 5 mins to "catch up")
5. Eventually...I finished copying the appointments back.....every one of them and the calendar still sync'ed. Go figure.
6. Deleted the secondary calendar.

Tedious, but it did work. I was expecting to get to one particular "corrupt" calendar entry....alas not.

I have tried so many different things. It seems that using Moxier Mail is the only thing that seems to work. I've been going back to all the message board posts that I came across to share my solution. I hope it works for you.
