WM6 Exchange EMail help

I am currently using WM6 and am trying to get EMail through our Exchange server setup; however, my Dash s620 will not properly save the server's address.
The address for our OWA is (ex) mail.email.com:8888/exchange
and this address works fine in Internet Explorer etc, but when I enter this into the phone it removes the /exchange and only saves up to :8888, which then gives me "Error synchronizing" when trying to connect. Our Exchange server does have Exchange ActiveSync enabled along with Direct Push enabled.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

I think that you have to check your ActiveSync settings on Exchange. I know that Microsoft have a lot of KB's about that.

It does the same thing on mine, erases exchange, but mine is cool. Are you sure you are putting in the Domain?

Yeah I've tried every which way I could think of for the login credentials.
I'll sift through some more MS articles tomorrow afternoon, see if I can't find anything... baffled though, really.

K this is going to be a huge PITA I can tell.
I adjusted the Virtual Directory for the default web site in Exchange System manager to point directly to /exchange, eliminating the need for anything after the :8888. It works fine in IE etc, quickly brings up a login prompt. Using the phone's IE and going to the http://mail.email.com:8888 works fine, prompts a login accordingly...
I configured a coworkers Blackberry to use our OWA and it works fine, but I'm not sure if it uses Push Email (Exchange ActiveSync).
What is it about the Dash that won't mesh? The server is not using SSL so I couldn't see it being a certificate issue (maybe it still is?). Is there anyone around who manages an Exchange Server and could perhaps shed some light on common settings that need to be adjusted for Exchange ActiveSync?
Such a nuisance

ActiveSync on the phone reports "The server could not be reached. Please verify the server name." Support code: 0x80072EE7
It reports back with this no matter how I enter the address (which again, works fine in IE). Devil phone

8888 is definetly not standard for publishing ActiveSync.
the software will connect to either MailServer:80 if the SSL checkbox is cleared or MailServer:443 if the checkbox is checked.
don't think you'll get ActiveSync connect to something else.
Why don't you change your port back to 80?
you are already exposing your server to internet without any form of protection (no SSL so your password can be sniffed over the network) and having port 8888 buys you nothing in terms of security since any port scanner will report the port as opened and eventually get the HTTP banner from the IIS Server.
So, get back to a standard config and you'll love your DASH again.

please help me fix my EXCHANGE server

hey guys,
am desperately trying to fix my home based exchange server. it's been running fine with 100% uptime since last december. about a week back i was twiddling with some settings in windows and completely destroyed it.
i lost my backup of the entier machine too (it's pretty much a dedicated box for exchange). hence did a rebuild.
however now i'm just not getting it to start up. symptoms:
- OWA (outlook web access) worked. both secure and insecure modes. works on my pc.
- does not work on my PDA - OWA works but no activesync
- disabled ssh and followed the instructions here
- the phone now gives error support code 85010004 "your account in microsoft exchange server does not have permission to synchronise with your current settings. contact your exchange server administrator."
kind of annoying!
- form based authentication is enabled
- basic authentication and integrated windows authentication are ON
- same error whether or not i require SSL.
any tips?

I occasionally get the exact same error message when I sync with my company's exchange server, I have to do a soft reset on the phone and then it works fine. No idea how to fix it so bump

we had quite a few issues originally and think this is one of them i think.
Most revolved around having a recognised accessible dns address that allowed a direct link.
never got ssl to work.
the other issue was getting appropriate certificates that were private to be issued when creating the sync partnership.
can u sync internally using exchange server via a cradled activesync?
get this 2 work first, then look to external push.
I ended up paying it engineers to get it to work over an sbs 2003 box as it was all to much.
but dns addresses being made public, that were also accessible internally (reverse lookup i think) along with no ssl and certificates being correct were our main hurdles.

issue fixed i'm all live! after all that effort i really feel i should open this up to those who don't want to spend days fixing it up...
check http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=346022. currently looking for testers for 1-2 days before i make a subscription based service!

Problem with SMTP Auth

Hi,
I'm having some problems with default Mail application of Android under HTC Desire for sending mails through my personal mail server.
I host my own mail server with SMTP Authentication but *only* with Android Mail application it seems to ignore username/password I provided under the account settings so no authenticated session is done on the mail server and this one reject the client because of this. SASL Authentication is properly working with other clients (Windows mobile pocket outlook, Thunderbird 2 or 3, Outlook ...etc)
Do you have such other similar experience/problem with SMTP Auth within Android 2.1 please ?
Thanks by advance,
laurent

Hi, i'm having the same problem using the corporate SMTP server (which works for everyone else). Might be a bug on the email app?

hi !
thks for your reply, now i know that i'm not alone
I was afraid of this ... it could be a bug
I searched on Google about this problem but found no interesting entry anywhere about it like if nobody saw it ?!
Do you know if there is a sort of BugZilla for android OS please ? Maybe we could find an entry there or at least enter a new one if necessary ...

Hi, the email application belongs to the Sense, so HTC should fix it. The stock Android email app works (tested on a Samsung phone with the same SMTP server) but is not available on Desire.

Ok, thks for this information, sorry I was thinking this one was the default mail application from Android
so we have nothing to do other than waiting and cross our fingers that HTC release a fix asap ...

if you want the default android one, i ffound it on a post here somewhere....cant find it now though, but you can download it from http://rhedgehog.com/apk/email.apk
If someone can upload it to rapidshare or something (no access here at work) it'd be cool.
Edit: Oh by the way, have no issues with my server. Auth turned on, standard SMTP, SSL off. no idea what software my host is running on the server though.....

hi,
thks for your reply !
do u mean smtp auth is working properly for you ? if so can you give me firmware version of your htc desire please ?
thks

SMTP Auth is working fine for me with SSL, I use Runbox premium mail service.
I am running software version 1.15.405.4

1.15.110.11

Hi again,
Thks all for your informations, I also have 1.15.405.4 and so did some new tests with SSL enabled/selected this time and SMTP Auth is now working !
If I go back and disable SSL, I have no logs on my Postfix server-side about SMTP Auth and client is purely rejected.
By the way, for my curiosity I tried with the Android default Email application rhedgehog provided (thks) and with this one SMTP Auth is working with SSL selected or not ...
So, as a workaround, I finally kept SSL on but did not find yet the last word of this problem !?
@alebolic : maybe you should try with SSL on ...

I have a Samsung Vibrant Galaxy S on t Mobile. I have no pop3/smtp issues on all platforms and devices including my Blackberry 8520, 9700, and Pearl. I have two POP3/SMTP accounts that I need email to send and reviece from constantly allday. Sinc eI bought my Android phone I have had nothing but issues on both the defaul internal client and with apps like K9 for example.
Whether I am rooted or not, fresh reboot or after it has been on or idle, smtp always fails a few days after adding account and POP3 works occasionally. I have tested full and as needed syncing, other SSL ports and etc other than the recomnmended and still pop3 is sporatic and SMTP fails frequesntly a few days after thet account are created in the phone. I had zero issues on my Blackberry, I just dont understand why these phones are giving so many people issues.
?? I am begining to wonder if everyones issue is a task killer killing an app that is needed and it is not opening when needed?
?? Is there a underliying push to make people use Gmail and apps instead of the phone?
It must be a base system issue because POP3/SMTP apps behave the same way. As everyone knows Gmail works fine always. My Yahoo! Mail app works perfect as well.
WA: I just use bookmarks I placed on my Home screen to access my mail via browser.

Not sure if it is relevant, I use a service called authsmtp for all my outgoings, and it is a little irritating when being set up on Android HTC Desire froyo. The first time it tries the access and says the host isn't responding, if you then say you have ssl it then produces a checkbox saying login required and you can enter a username/passw combo. After that it works.....
Seems like the requirement to let it know you have secure access isn't geared to the first attempt to set up.

Same problem here.
The HTC Desire Z mailclient does not support SMTP Auth with my mail server.
I checked on my mailserver to find the problem, but the phone does not try auth
at all.
Server says "220 ... ESMTP Sendmail.."
Phone sends "EHLO [..ip..]"
Server answers
"
250....
...
250-AUTH DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5
...
"
Phone sends "QUIT"
The Phone shows "server does not support authentication".
BTW: this phone is the only client I tested with this bug. Working clients are: Thunderbird, iPhone, iPad, aso
It seems HTC mail does not support the provided Auth methods. If anyone of you has a working setup, could you please tell me which mailserver it is or tell me what auth method
would work ?

Have you tried authsmtp as I mentioned? They were aware of the original problem I had and they may well be able to fix the Z issue.

[Q] Reset DNS & Retrieve Email

Hello,
Well, I think I should start with the basics. I Have a Sprint HTC Touch Pro 2, with WM 6.5 and a few tweaks and add ons but still with the default ROM. I could update but simply have not really had the courage to test the idea of updating the rom with one of the many possibilities out there.
Now, I also have my own domain names, one of which is my contact email for xda-developers.com. Of the two domains, we'll simply call them Domain1 and Domain2, Domain1 expired on Feb 11, due to a delay in funds to renew my registration. Given the economy i don't believe anyone should be surprised, however I have quite a few email addresses attached to this domain and thus planned and did renew my registration. For about two weeks the domain was non functioning, as Network Solutions re-routed the DNS to point to their internal "Domain Expired" page, as opposed to my actual web hosting service. This is not new, I've dealt with it before. Now, early Thursday morning, I made a payment to renew the registration. By this morning, My home PC using Thunderbird & Firefox was able to receive emails from all addresses associated with Domain1.com, and I was able to browse to this Domain for the website.
However, currently my HTC TP2, which is configured to manage all of my emails for this domain, cannot communicate with the server, and Opera still redirects me to the Network Solutions "Domain Expired" page. I believe this is due to some "DNS Cache" that still remembers the redirect DNS for Domain1.com as opposed to the actual DNS for the domain as it should be. However, I cannot simple go to a windows command prompt and clear the DNS cache as I can on XP. So, any suggestions on how to tell my phone to re-lookup the DNS address for the Domain1.com emails and website would be GREATLY appreciated. I mean, this should be a part of the INternet and if my home Desktop was able to browse to my website after i've renewed the domain registration, my phone's browser should do the same.
Thanks for the help,

[Q] Android revolution hd Activesync issues

Hey all.
First off, i hope someone will see this, as i dont have enough posts yet to post in the correct forums.
I recently flashed ARHD 3.2 and its been working great. The only problem i have found is that my activesync account will no longer sync. So i tried deleting it, and recreating it. When i get to the last screen it says there was an error creating the account, and in logcat it shows error 451.
Now from what i have googled, it says 451 is:
Exchange ActiveSync returned an HTTP 451 response. (Device Misconfigured)
And something along the lines of activesync thinks there is a better server for me to connect too.
But when i was running arhd 2.x activesync was fine.
Can anyone shed some light onto this ?
Other info:
Server address: Outlook DOT com
username: mpd50 AT uclive DOT ac DOT nz
domain: uclive DOT ac DOT nz
ssl: yes
Damn, anti spam measures

is it true the server address is outlook .com ?
normally it is webmail.uclive.ac.nz something like that.
maybe you can try :
Server address:
username: mpd50
domain: uclive.ac.nz
ssl: yes
or you can set it manually (click on set manually) after you enter the username and password.

The only reason i used outlook.com was because in outlook 2010 on my laptop, the server it connects to is an outlook one.
When i try uclive dot ac dot nz as the server, i get authentication failed. But with outlook dot com, i can get right to the end, but not past finish setup.
Oh well, ill keep trying every few days... or wait for an update from mike.

Ok, I managed to setup the account on my computer fine, so I copied the server it used to my phone and that seems to have done the trick... looks like android is not selecting the correct exchange server, and you have to enter it manually yourself.
