I am trying to set up my droid to check my AKO email and I keep getting an error, Cannot safely connect to server (Not trusted server certificate)

Anyone know how to get it to work with AKO?


I got it to work. Had to be set SSL to accept all certs.
 
HI have all the correct settings, conformed with AKO but I cannot access email...the folders are there but the email cannot be picked up; I can send from it though. I really want this, please help


imap.us.army.mil
993
ssl, all certs

mailrouter.us.army.mil
465
ssl, all certs
sign required
 
I got mine working with those setting you listed. Make sure you put in your user name and password correctly
 
username is ____________._________ (no @us.army.mil)
ako password

The folders show up, but do not populate....any ideas?
 
if you want the best experiences with the Droid and AKO email you should sign up for the Beta AKO email. they will move your email over to the new 2010 Exchange AKo sever and they you can do exchange sync or imap. i use exchange sync and love it.

www.beta.army.mil to sign up!
 
I thought the use of email aggregators was expressly forbidden by policy? About 2 years ago I recieved a email stating that they had done a security scan and my account was accessing the server via a unathorized device, in my case a Blackberry.

They still scan every so often so just be careful.
 
Blackberry's aggregate with BIS and that is why you can't use it for AKO access. you can pull AKO into a dedicated email application wiht pop3 or Imap if it's a local client, ie..apple mail, outlook or the mail app on the droid, palm pre, iphone or windows mobile device.

Army regulations (AR 25-2 para 4-5a8) prohibit auto forwarding of official mail to non-official accounts and from providing your AKO credentials to unauthorized individuals. We can no longer post instructions for configuring your Blackberry to retrieve your Beta mail through the Blackberry Internet Service (BIS), which is considered a mail aggregator system and a security risk.

the current Beta Mail for AKO adds Exchange support and they migrate over you AKO account to the new Exchange 2010 severs and gives you "push" style sync access.
 
with all the above info appreciated...would like to keep things easy.

Any idea why I cannot get droid (IMAP) to pull AKO; all settings have been confirmed.
 
I dont know. I use the Exchange sever and every thing works great. I can sync my email and contacts. plus all messages are readable. with imap i was getting a lot with smime.p7s issues and don't have them now.
 
I used the settings that BH put on (see below). Initially it worked and it will come up, but now I have problems with forceclosing. It forcecloses mail everytime I open it. Any suggestions?

I received instructions from beta mail and it is still not working. Can anyone give me the exact line by line that you filled in to get the beta mail working with exchange on the HTC incredible.

Email address: first.last@beta.army.mil
server address:
Domain:
username:
password:

I checked the encrypted SSL
 
I use AKO beta but somewhat a rock. can you provide further details on how to exchange sync. I used IMAP with my BB and never worked well. I purchased a Samsung Captiviate and need help to set up.

thanks

I did mine as a pop3 account.
Settings as follows:
Incoming settings -
username: first.last (no @..)
password: self explanatory
POP3 server: pop.us.army.mil (you have to change it to this....the default is us.army.mil without the POP)
Port: 995
security: SSL (all certs) (this changes the port to 995 for you)
Delete email (when I delete)


for outgoing settings -
smtp server: smtp.us.army.mil (again, the default is us.army.mil without the SMTP, so you'll have to add this)
Port: 465
Security type: SSL (all certs - again this changes the port to 465 for you )

require sign-in: checked
Hope this helps...let me know if you need any more help.
 
I live in the New York area...from day one of having Motorola Droid, the phone could not connect to AKO (settings confirmed); communication error. Strangely, when I was down in South Carolina recently, AKO miraculously worked (flawlessly). Returned through Chicago, and AKO no longer works.

Verizon what gives? Come clean. Marginal 3G coverage in these metro areas?....are we being misled?

I have done the science experiment...AKO works, settings are correct; Do we all have to move to South Carolina?
