Ok, so I need some help. My company has blocked all android devices from syncing with their exchange server and is only allowing Iphone and Windows phone to sync with the exchange server.
I have tried some of the OWA apps, but they are just not that good, and I really need to be able to sync my mail/calendar/contacts.
Is there any way to bypass this, with a rooted phone that is, or am I screwed and have to use the Iphone?

I am unable to access my company e-mail (outlook 2007) on my Wildfire. I contacted the IT department and they told me that it won't work on Android because they have only set it up to work on Blackberrys. Is their any way of working around this?
Is Outlook 2007 the client on your PC or is it what the actual Exchange server is using?
Its what the exchange server is using. I have to use webmail to check e-mails etc. Each time I try to Sync with my phone I get an error message. To be honest I'm pretty new to outlook but Everyone I've spoken to has said as far as they knew it would work on any phone and couldn't be restricted to a brand ie Blackberrys.
There are multiple ways to get corporate email on android, all of which require the IT department to do some work. One way is to use goodlink which requires a seperate server that is tied to exchange. Another way is through exchange activesync which requires exposing exchange to the internet. Yet another way is setting up a vpn on the phone. I am assuming your IT department only has a BES server set up and that is why they gave you the answer they did.
I'm about to take the plunge, and I'm 90% decided on the SGS2 (eligible for ATT upgrade);
Coming from an ATT Tilt 2, with winmo OS, and Active Sync software, which had excellent functionality for syncing and interacting with MS Exchange server (for my work).
I need to be able to edit my outlook calendar(exchange server) and send meeting invitations from the device, I need to access all of my outlook (exchange server) contacts, emails, tasks (ideally One-note if possible) and have everything sync continuously as new emails and exchange server transactions take place.
Has anyone specifically used the ATT version of the SGS2 successfully in this capacity? if so what SW was required? how satisfied are you with the compatibility and functionality?
(I need this for work, and I'm talking wireless syncing to ms exchange WAN server address, (on an unlimited data account))
To give you an idea of the level of compatiblity I'm talking about, here is an example. When you send an email from outlook on your laptop os (xp or win7) you can have a default signature. And the same can be done from my tilt2.
Another example, when I make a new appointment on the calender on the tilt2, not only does it sync to the exchange server (as reflected on my PC with outlook open), but I can utilize the same options for setting up the meeting invitation on the tilt2 with winmo os, (matching the PC with outlook-options). I.E. for an appointment or event I can set privacy status, or out-of-office status for the calendar item, or go in and edit the status later and sync with exchange server.
Thanks in advance for any information, and insight.
I am using it with Exchange Server 2003 and it works fine for contacts, calendar and emails. The only issue that I am having is opening our voice mail messages (.wav attachments) from a Cisco Unity server.
This is my first Android phone so I am clueless about that. You can follow my other thread about this .wav issue here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1290232
I am using my SGS II with our company exchange server. Yes, it does push sync. If fact, I usually get my emails on my phone about 30 seconds faster than my desktop.
Yes, I can access the global address list on the exchange server from my phone.
Yes, I can send meeting requests and the calendar syncs as expected.
A new feature that I didn't have the my captivate (SGS I) is that i can now also sync my exchange Tasks.
And yes, contacts also sync to my phone from the exchange server.
Hi!
We have the exchange 2010 SP2 server in our company.
I have Samsung Nexus S with ICS 4.0.3 and I cannot connet to our new server.
With Exchange 2003 was working normaly now we installed the new server and I cannot connect to the server. Are is exchange 2010 some new special setting to set up?
Also my Nokia can't connect to Exchange 2010 SP2.
ICS 4.0.3 was working normaly on Exchange 2003 !
Thank you!
Nothing special to do on Android. You need to make sure Exchange has all the settings configured correctly for Mobile access.
Exchange 2003 had no concept of mobile devices. 2010 is designed with them in mind. It has to be specifically enabled.
You have to talk to the guys that manage exchange. In case of our company, we don't allow any android/ios devices to connect to the network, with few exceptions - CEO, etc, so we enable it on a per account basis.
As much as I'd love to access e-mail from my android, it's a disaster to keep control of the sensitive information like you can with blackberries, especially when the user owns the device, and not the company.
Disclosure: I am an exchange admin
I've got a Nexus 5 with Android 4.4.
My work is running Lotus Notes for email. The desktop software is bad enough, but the Lotus Traveler app on android is pure garbage.
Apparently the traveler server works with standard ActiveSync. I know this because people at my office have their email set up on their iPhones/iPads through ActiveSync. I can actually add my Lotus account onto my phone through the default email app using the Exchange setup. Everything seemed to work as it should at first. The app asked me to set a pin for my phone, which I did. The problem is that after a couple minutes I get a prompt saying my device pin has expired and all my Lotus account data will be deleted unless I reset my pin. This happens every few minutes even if I keep resetting my pin.
Anyone know of anyway around this? At the moment I'm forwarding all my work emails to my gmail account so that I can read them on my phone, but I can only reply from my gmail address, so it isn't ideal.
Thanks
Hello,
I am running stock android version 4.1.2 (rooted with philz safe custom kernel) on my galaxy note gt-n7000. I am unable to setup my corporate email account under Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync.
I tried to setup my corporate account on another device and it worked like a charm. No issues at all.
Then i setup my yahoo accounts on my phone. It also worked fine on my phone. I am sending and receiving mail through my phone using yahoo accounts.
I removed unneeded apps like samsung reader hub, mini diary, snote etc I removed all the samsung bloatware. Accidently i removed playstore files and lost my cellphone network as well. But i figured out and restored these apk files. Now the only problem is that i am unable to setup account under microsoft exchange activesync. Could you please let me know what backend files are required for exchange to work properly?
Waiting for response. Do let me know if you want to know anything.
