Reply problem with exchange email on android email app.

[jmh77]

I've setup my corporate email account on my Captivate using the standard droid email program. It does check and receive email perfectly fine, except...

If somebody sends me an email, and I reply to it... all that person receives back is there original email (without my response). Really weird! Anybody else run into this issue or have a fix?

So... Part 2 of my question is... if I can't get this solved, is it possible to setup my personal gmail account to send/receive my corp. exchange mail?

Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions!

I had the same problem (on my Captivate), which I couldn't resolve. I ended up paying for a different email app, which turns out to be better anyway. The one I went for was Advanced Email, which has the nice feature of disabling the enforced password (which my IT department forced my phone to use).

Hope this helps.

Well, it seems that's a bug in the integrated mail client for Exchange. It builds the URL to send to the Exchange Server but doesn't encode it (blank, accent...). So if you have some kind of caracters in your inbox imap folder name Android will throw an error refusing to send the mal-formed URL.

You can confirm that with logcat and you'll see something like that :
"Exception caught in EasOutboxServicejava.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Illegal character in query at index N".

It seems to be corrected in Android 3.x.

Cheers
