Dear all,
using an HTC Desire Z device for business reasons, I have to cope with the fact that company did lock the mailpush as of today for non iOS/BB/WinM devices.
They´re having a blacklist on the Exchange Server, filtering the words "Android", "Nitrodesk" etc... and blocking it - credentials are still working as I do have an old Windows Mobile device which still is OK.
Anybody knows where I can find some more details about the Exchange blacklist or/if how I can rename my mailclient ID ? Or if there is a mailclient outside which behaves like an e.g. Windows Mobile mailclient ?
Read something about the boot.prop, however I guess this is more the device ID then the mailclient ID - or is it same source ?
thx4support,
Tequila

Hello
I'm hoping someone might be able to help with a problem we have encountered. We would like to allow some of our XDA users to access their Exchange email accounts via the webmail interface using Pocket Internet Explorer. This all works OK but there is a slight security issue with Pocket IE on the XDA caching network credentials.
The first time the user accesses the webmail site they are asked for the username, password and domain details as we would expect. Once authenticated they get to the mailbox login and from here can access their account. No problem here.
All subsequent logins however go straight to the mailbox so the XDA seems to be caching the network credentials. The only way we have found so far to clear the "cache" is to reset the XDA. I was wondering if anyone could suggest any other way.
O2 say this is a known "feature / issue" and the solution is to upgrade our Exchange server from 5.5 to 2000.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Microsoft
The problem you are experiencing here is an issue with Pocket IE. This part of the PocketPC 2002 operating system, and it pretty much unmodified by O2 / T-Mobile etc. You will find the same problem if you use an iPAQ, Casiopea etc, so it's not something that can be specifically fixed by O" - that's really up to microsoft.
I initially contacted Microsoft Tech Support and was told that they didn't support Pocket PC and I should contact the supplier of the PDA (ie O2).
I'll try Microsoft again but in the meantime I'd be grateful for any other suggestions.
Reading other posts on the site it looks as if it might not be possible to update the version of Pocket PC on the XDA anyway.
Thanks very much for your help.
OK so I have setup activesync on several windows mobile handsets however I am unable to do so on my hero. I am using the same credentials and even if I switch back to my treo I can set up activesync fine!!
The error I am getting is "Failed to connect to the exchange server. Please check Exchange server settings."
It is also worth mentioning that it I can browse to the OWA web page from the handset.
I am pulling my hair out on this one so any help would be appreciated.

Hi I have the hero in front of me now and I can assure you the option I am trying to use is 'Activesync'. I think HTC have licensed it for the hero...
i don't think they have, i think it's just some bastardised thing they've knocked up themselves, but i could be wrong.
one thing to check though is because the hero does not support all the security policies that windows mobile does, some exchange servers simply won't let it connect.
If the exchange server forces a password on the device, you're S.O.L it seems. or at least, i can't get them working with password enforcing servers....

Its my own exchange server and it does not enforce passwords. Also I can switch back to any WM device and all syncs fine.
Has anyone actually got it working with exchange 2003? I have a feeling it may be 2007 only...
ok cracked it. It wont allow you to sync with a user name that has a space in it. Ie. 'FirstName Lastname' will not work. I have had to change my user name now to be 'FirstNameLastNAME' hope that helps somebody!!

Have the same problem as you, before i read youre findings...but:
When i try to pull the trick you mention, the phone now tries to connect to the server, but after verifiing account information... it halts at "Authentication failed. Please verify user/pass bla bla"
You are not saying that my AD credentials on my PC also has to be FirstNameLastNAME?
/Psudo
yes, i believe he is.
You actually have to change your username, not just not remove the space on the device.
From how i understand EAS to work, you would indeed have to change your username in AD as well (but check first, i'm far from an Exchange admin!)
What I did was change my username in the Active Directory. You will also need to change your username on anything that accesses the server (Outlook RPC, laptops pc's etc.)
Hope that helps.

Yup it helps, but maybe not what was intended nor expected from HTC/Android dev. Hopefully a fix will be out soon.

Could someone explain why there is no support for S/MIME in Android?
Is this because libraries are missing, no intererst in the community, etc?
Are there plans to add SMIME to Andoid (it is supported on Windows Mobile and BlackBerry).
Full support would be great (both creating and receiving SMIME messages), but for now I would settle for just the receiving part, thus being able to read received SMIME encoded messages sent by Outlook/Exchange.
I would really like to send my emails signed (using Exchange/Outlook), but have stopped since both iPhone and Android are incapable of reading those signed messages. I know I can set an option in Outlook to include a non signed text message for non SMIME capable devices, but attachements are then not visible, as they are always SMIME encoded..

On your android phone I go to
Settings --> Accounts & Sync
From there you click add account at the bottom, then click corporate.
On the next screen, type in your email address and password be sure to use the full [email protected]
optionally check the send from this account by default
then make it look like this picture obviously changing things as they apply to you

hope this will hope you.
Yeah Great answer
My wife have at the moment exactly this kind of situation...
Her company policy says that they are using s/mime protocol and even if I am doing whatsoever ---> android phone is not support that smime and I cannot get working mail/calendar/contacts in native android apps.
Moxier mail can do this but however it doesn't work reliably...
So when android support smime??
Oh... I forgot... My wifey have Desire HD with Android revolution HD 5.1.11
Touchdown and Moxier both support SMIME on Android.
I'm using this program and it works like a charm with ANY email client on Android:
Djigzo S/MIME Email encryption, from the author “Djigzo”
For Blackberry devices, download the app from: http://www.djigzo.com/bb.html
bump
i hardly find any S/MIME info regarding android.
any news here?
R2Mail2 seems to be the only/best email app that includes SMIME and PGP.
There is CypherMail, but that says it can't verify clear signed messages.
Hi there,
my question might seem to be a little odd, so I will explain the reason first...
in my university lab 6 of our android devices (and an iphone 5) got stolen. the thief might have sold the devices, I'm not really sure. anyhow - one of the devices still had our lab-gmail-account logged in so i could install androidlost and get at leas some control over one of our stolen nexus 7.
I was able to get gps coordinates, the WiFi name + IP address as well as some pictures of the person that has the device right not. unfortunately the police told me that gps wouldn't help, as there are possibly 150 persons in the street where the device is, that have the potential to be criminal...getting the owner of the connection via IP is also not likely, because a judge needs to approve the locating via ISP and before that happens, the telecommunications company will have deleted the data -.- I've seen they added a new gmail account after I changed our password. but it's just something like "[email protected]", so nothing that tells me the name.
with androidlost I can also start a web-server and browse the sdcard of the device. unfortunately the device is not rootet, so I can't browse to /data/data to gather more information.
so (finally ) here is my question:
is there any app that saves it's data to the sdcard which uses the facebook ID?
I mean in any logfile or something...maybe an app that automatically starts at boot, so i can be sure the app leaves it's trace on the sdcard.
I can still install apps via play store and if i could retreive the facebook ID in any way, there would still be a chance to catch the thief...
I'm also open for other creative ideas to retreive the identity...
EDIT: before anyone gets me wrong - I don't want the password or login to the account - all I need is the facebook ID (or name...) so I might find out the real name and give it to the police...
Hi Everyone!
I have a dilemma! I am an active Android user, but recently my IT department at work advised me that the corporate policy has changed and only IOS devices are permitted. This means that the corporate exchange server is allowed to be installed only on an IOS device.
My question is: Is it possible to find a way for android to fake the operation system? I.e. to have the email on an android, but exchange server will be showing that an IOS device is connected.
Thanks in advance!
