Exchange ActiveSync Poll - how's it working for you?

[Familyguy1]

Yep, it's an IT security requirement of your company. One plus for Touchdown - the pin can be a single digit and it removes the full device pin requirement. And, the pin is only required if the device is rebooted.

Yeah I found that is what I liked about touchdown.

Anyone esle wish that the stock mail app can thread emails like the gmail app can?

Mine works perfect. I just wish I could edit/delete the signature line. I did it for the Gmail, but vant figure out how for exchange. Any ideas?

In mail, menu, settings, general, signature

Sweet! I think that did the trick. Thanks!

Wow am I the only person having trouble here? I keep getting an authentication error, check user name and password...

I'm using the exact settings I was using on my Droid X. Maybe something needs to be different? Really Frustrating

Did you confirm settings with your IT department?

 

[MikeAce00]

I have, they gave the same setting I used on corporate exchange that came w/ Apex 1.4.1 on my DX.

Everything is identical for the most part.
On the DX Username/Domain was one line
On the TB I have Username as one line, Domain a separate line.

I'm sure its something small that I am missing, I just don't know what else to try though...

 

[kjjb0204]

try a backslash after the domain (\)

 

[dajogejr]

You can also try an underscore instead of an @ between your user name and domain, ex.
android_yahoo.com

That's one of the settings on ours.

 

[MikeAce00]

I think my problem is one of 2 things...
For my server do I include /owa at the end or not? Previously I did not need to but maybe this is different per device?

Domain\Username- Previously this was just my email address all on the same line. For this setup it has one line for each and I haven't figured out how that translates. Maybe there is no relation?

 

[kjjb0204]

Not sure - every company has different set up for domain/username. Ours doesn't have owa at all in it. The server address should end in companyname.com (or .net or whatever). Domain can be trickier still, again all depends on your IT dept and how they have it set up.

 

[MikeAce00]

hmmm. Our server is actually ***.mail.microsoftonline.com(\owa)

This is actually my wife's email. she's a teacher so it ends in ****k12.ca.us

 

[dajogejr]

Best thing you could do is ask your IT department.

You're not the only one. I've had major issues with my HTC TB and EAS. I am the Exchange admin for our company, so configuration is verifiably correct.

A question for you: Have you tried to browse to your company's OWA during the time that you have problems connecting? I found it odd that I couldn't reach our OWA through the internet when my EAS acts up. I've also monitored firewall logs and can verify it's not us thats blocking traffic.

No, didn't try it since the issues I was having were short lived. Each time I had send issues, it resolved itself after a few minutes, but sent each email 25+ times. Did it 3 times, once to internal recipient, twice to customers. Can't have that at all, the TB went back.
