Exchange 2007

[Guest Lord Snake]

Anyone managed to connect to an exchange 2007 mailbox?

I have tried the built in mail client, k-9, maildroid, none of them will work. I have just upgraded to Android 2.1, and still no joy.

I can't even get it to work using IMAP.

The only thing that does work is touchdown, but I really don't want to resort to pay for this app, especially considering I can't add any other accounts to it, just 1 exchange account and that's all, which still me screwed for my other mailboxes.

I have followed all the guide I have seen elsewhere and tried various combinations on the username.

server_name\username

FQDN\username

I have tried my SAM name and full email address as the user name. I.e. the details I use for OWA or outlook.

Run out of ideas and now fed up. +1 for iPhone

I can't even get Touchdown to work properly. It connects and even gets my folder list, but doesn't download a single email.

Go into Settings|Accounts and add a Corporate account. Your emails will appear in the Email app. You won't get quite so many features as Touchdown, though.

[Guest Mirrdhyn]

You can do that only with the version 2.1.

In 1.6, the setup of Exchange account is not possible without Touchdown...

Ive connected to an Outlook 2007 server using Touchdown on both 1.6 and 2.1. The outlook server has ActiveSync enabled on it, though, maybe yours doesnt?

I don't need exchange features, i'm happy to just use IMAP, but as I said even this wont work.

I take it you're able to use IMAP to access your mailbox from another client? If not it'd be worth checking that it's enabled - we don't enable IMAP on all of our Exchange mailboxes by default.

[Guest burstatron]

I got it working in both maildroid and stock email app

Username:

your_domain\your_username

Server:

my.job.com

you can get the correct server by opening outlook... clicking Tools/Account Settings/Select account/Change/

This will detail the exchange server address and other bits you might need to know.

Domain will be whenever you log on to the PC it will be USername / Password / Connect to (connect to is the domain)

I left ports as standard and enabled SSL and accept certs.

Work uses Exchange 2007 and my test emails were pushed almost instantly

EDIT: I chose manual set up btw

Yes I access the exchange from work and home using Outlook with no problems.

I have two mailboxes, one I have setup as an exchange account, one as an IMAP account, they work fine.

I cannot access either using activesync or IMAP on the android.

I have tried all that in every combination i can think of.

[Guest burstatron]

Have you spoke to the server admin to make sure certificates are valid?

I had problems at my last place because they didn't have a valid certificate for the particular server address on a VPN

Other than that try accessing webmail version and grab the cert from there?
