Is (will there be) possibility to set calendar events in the N900 calendar as "private" so that they would sync to Exchange as private?

Re: Mail for Exchange (MfE). Blame me here, pls
 

I'm referring that MfE works well in most N series so why should we accept any different from N900 as users.

Re: Mail for Exchange (MfE). Blame me here, pls
 

I dont use MfE but highly appreciate your way of working with the community. Please talk to other programmers to follow this good approach, there need many more things to be done. :)

Re: Mail for Exchange (MfE). Blame me here, pls
 

No. Neither me, neither our testers are aware of this. Could you file a bug and attach your syslog to this bug?

Thank you in advance.

Technically it is possible. Regarding business requirements - let us see for the results of ongoing internal discussions.

Re: Corporate mail for exchange not syncing
 

Interesting !

Let us know what you guys think of business uses for the N900 !

Hi there.

Is there a way to get he sources of Mfe ?

I'm not sure of the package name, so i dont know what to apt-get source, and i did not find it on http://maemo.gitorious.org/ neither.

Re: Corporate mail for exchange not syncing
 

Can I ask you a technical information? All the Activesync stuff (setup, wizard, protocol, etc etc) is implemented inside libasmodestplugin.so?

Re: Mail for Exchange (MfE). Blame me here, pls
 

I sync manually.

I will (re-)try later - but I think it does not work. No error message nothing. But I will retry.

UPDATE: ok - yes: when I go into the outgoing folder and click "Send and Receive" it's send out. But not if I choose the option "Send on next sync" and sync manually.

Re: Mail for Exchange (MfE). Blame me here, pls
 

just a side question.. is there on linux not a MfE client/lib already that works? In other words cant we reuse that code?

Dear All

I got my N900 this weekend but not able to set-up mfe and my is 2007(confirmed from IT team). reading tru this blog i found out there is way to install certificate as above. but i am wondering is this on my n900 or somewhere esle as i am not able to see any of these folders in my n900 using explorer...just help me where to find this root folder...or any other workaround to get mfe set-up in my N900. as of now it is saying for secure connection (it been disabled and for port 809 server not responding. I use to syn my iphone before to the same mfe... help me techies :confused:

Re: Mail for Exchange (MfE). Blame me here, pls
 

vitaly_repin, I would not like to blame you, but rather thank you.

After getting my college's WEP key from a friend, I proceeded to set up MfE using only the information (+ guesswork) from Outlook Web Access' About page. Syncing worked a treat. Thank you. (I now can get notification of new e-mails in class w/out being resigned to go to a computer).

Although, now that I see it has tried to sync using my home network, is it possible to only allow it to sync on a certain network (i.e. options for WLAN only, and, within that, specific networks on which the syncing can take place)? Like how Modest has the option to use different SMTP servers depending on the AP you are connected to. Nothing major so don't worry about it if you/Nokia do not deem it a worthy feature.

Re: Mail for Exchange (MfE). Blame me here, pls
 

I too would like to thank vitaly_repin.

got my unit today and one of the first things i did was to setup an MfE account. everything worked like a charm from the start, I didn't even have to import the certificate. user, pass, domain, hostname and it was good to go!

thumbs up!

Re: Mail for Exchange (MfE). Blame me here, pls
 

You must use the console on N900 (X terminal, xterm), you cannot do this via windows. If you do not know what you are doing, please just wait for a software update.

Sync MFE Calender with N900 ver.1.2009.50-1
 

Hello,

I cannot sync calender with preinstalled mfe.

I am using N900 with SW.version 1.2009.50-1 (preinstalled from Nokia).

Have being testing Mfe application that was preinstalled on it, and cannot get the calender synced, everything else works fine.


Is their any known workaround on this yet?

Re: Mail for Exchange (MfE). Blame me here, pls
 

Fantastic, I'll look into that. But to be honest, just using screen scrapping would be fine (though crazy), I just need to see messages and events. I don't much care how elegant it is, as long as it works. I'll give it a shot though with EAS.

So then, could said library to be tinkered with to report that provisioning is enabled?

Re: Corporate mail for exchange not syncing
 

No. Of course no. Modest plugin and corresponding camel provider are responsible only for integration with email. Very thin layer. There are also protocol library (which I am dreaming to open source), storage library and as-daemon.

Re: Mail for Exchange (MfE). Blame me here, pls
 

There is no possibility right now. As N900 Calendar GUI does not support the possibility to set events as private/normal etc, it has been decided to create "normal" events in the server.

From the other hand, it is (technically) possible to extend the solution to take the default value from gconf. But to make GUI for it is a different issue.

In fact, it looks like I started to collect the ideas which I can use to sell the idea of open-sourcing Maemo MfE to my management. :)

Re: Mail for Exchange (MfE). Blame me here, pls
 

Best of luck on that! Having MfE open source would be awesome! Let us know how you progress.

Re: Corporate mail for exchange not syncing
 

All this stuff is closed-source? It would be possible to release the source code MINUS the protocol implementation?

Re: Mail for Exchange (MfE). Blame me here, pls
 

Hi Vitaly,

I understand that you make a destinction between MfE for Symbian and MfE for Maemo.

As a customer - I use the simple "both are Nokia machines". And since I used E series phones for many years and always found them very reliable. I was expecting the same and more from Maemo / N900.

And true. The phone brings a lot of wonderful functions and works really really well. Except for the MfE. Which is disappointing. And which is why people make the comparison. By using earlier Nokia phones with good synchronization (with Exchange) they've come to expect the same from the N900 ...

Regards,
Jan-Paul

Re: Mail for Exchange (MfE). Blame me here, pls
 

I know, well let's hope that you will get MfE to level customers had all reason to expect.

Re: Mail for Exchange (MfE). Blame me here, pls
 

Just to clarify. The messages are not sent even if you are initiating manual sync by hand using control panel application (Press "Sync manually" button). But if you use Send&Receive from e-mail client, the messages are sent. Is it correct description of the issue?

Re: Corporate mail for exchange not syncing
 

Hm. Idea sounds interesting. Worse than open-sourcing the whole stuff but might be more feasible.

OK. Let us agree on the following - I will discuss this in depth with our responsible guys after 7, Jan. When all the people will comeback from "short" winter "holidays" which are going to start soon.

If anybody can bring here new ideas WHY open-sourcing of these components is good for Nokia business, I would be very thankful.

Re: Mail for Exchange (MfE). Blame me here, pls
 

They are closed-source.

Re: Mail for Exchange (MfE). Blame me here, pls
 

Point is taken.

Just small comment. N900 does not have java and MMS inside. Nobody cares.
N900 has MfE inside. With limited functionality (compared with other Nokia phones). Everybody cares. :)

Don't take this comment as an attempt to defense. Just side comment.

Re: Mail for Exchange (MfE). Blame me here, pls
 

Java and MMS were not listed in the technical specification.
Mail for exchange was listed.

Re: Mail for Exchange (MfE). Blame me here, pls
 

I suppose this is mostly about expectation management. If N900 Mail for Exchange functionality had been marketed with side note "Only supported with Exchange Server 2007 as a non-provisionable device. Not all functionality implemented." most corporate customers would have understood. With current specs, most corporate customers (including me) thought it would offer the same functionality as current Mail for Exchange for Symbian devices.

Re: Mail for Exchange (MfE). Blame me here, pls
 

FWIW, my MfE experience under Maemo has been much more satisfactory than under S60.

for one main reason:
it supports subfolders!
i use them extensively and always felt a bit bound by the fact that symbian MfE only shows you the inbox. now i have access to everything if i need it :)

Re: Mail for Exchange (MfE). Blame me here, pls
 

I have to agree, subfolders is a major missing feature on S60 which will be great to have access to when I finally get a N900.

Re: Mail for Exchange (MfE). Blame me here, pls
 

all here is speaking how mfe works with 2007, but hey! im not using 2007, how about 2003???

Guys really, if some1 have little probs sync calendar with 2007, u r still happy. my mfe+2003 dont work at all. And some1 just told new firmware dont fix it.

Re: Mail for Exchange (MfE). Blame me here, pls
 

Who is this "some 1one"?

Re: Mail for Exchange (MfE). Blame me here, pls
 

Hi Vitaly this is correct.

Re: Mail for Exchange (MfE). Blame me here, pls
 

Could it be possible to have two MfE-calendars in N900? So that the public/normal events would go to normal calendar and the private ones in a private calendar. That way one could decide the publicity of the event by choosing the calendar, and one could decide the colours etc. also!

Re: Mail for Exchange (MfE). Blame me here, pls
 

I definitely agree with this. As the device is capable of handling multiple calendars, in opposite to symbian devices, it should also be possible to synchronize multiple calendars. Almost everybody uses at least a private and a business calendar...

Works with Exchange 2003?
 

Does n900 support MS Exchange 2003?:confused:
Mail for exchange don't work in my n900.
In the first sync stop-it and... nothing other (i have wait an entire night).
I'm sure for the parameters, used with nokia n97 and others smartphone. Nokia don't help me "for mails"...
(sorry for my english...) :D
Help me pleease!:(
