Tabmail stopped receiving emails

[Guest frankquattrone]

Hi, wonder if anyone has run into this problem before. I was using Tabmail on Steve's 1.9 and everything was working great. Suddenly last Thursday Mar 31, I stopped getting emails. Everytime I hit refresh, it would say "connection error". My calendar and contacts were updating so it wasn't a problem with connecting to Exchange. I thought I fixed it by clearing data from email and adding it back. I have it set to download 2 weeks worth of emails and it started downloading all the emails again but when it got Thursday Mar 31, it stopped again and once again I got the "connection error". Anyone have any ideas how to fix it? Is there some glitch about Mar 31? Thanks.

So, I was just testing things out. Turns out it is syncing still because if I delete an older email on my Streak, it disappears from my Exchange inbox on my PC's Outlook a few seconds later. I can also send emails. This is very bizarre. Can someone help? I can only get away with replying to old emails for so long before people from work start accusing me of not working for the whole month of April!

Ok, so I think I figured it out. I think my company implemented server side security on our exchange server. I had to delete my exchange account, go into Settings->Locations & Security and activate both a screen lock (which apparently is required by my company) as well as making Tabmail a Device Administrator. I only figured this out because I used my girlfriend's Tab to connect to exchange and it worked except that during the set up, it gave me a warning that my company had set server side security and then made me do the two things I just mentioned before completing the account set up. I found that going through set up on the Streak and Tabmail, I didn't get that warning and so it would connect but wouldn't receive emails (but would send, connect to contacts & calendar). Hope that helps.
