If it's only a Modest issue, but the folder is otherwise synced, there's an app called MfEfolders (in extras-devel) which can locally rename the synched folders.

MfEfolders can enable/disable synching on a folder by folder basis, just disable your junk folder's synching.

Please see above, but if you disable a folder, it will completely dissapear from Modest too.

I'm going to reply to my own post about VPNC and MFE, apparently If you break the "always on" connection, and THEN connect to VPNC, once you turn MFE back to "always on" it works fine. Booyah, success!

Well, it wasn't syncing, but it's looking like that's my IT department's fault and MfE is working just fine. I fixed the folder by manually loading the database in sqlite and updating the folder name. Thanks for your python script though, since it's how I knew where to look.

MfEfolders works great, thanks for the tip! hopefully the functionality will be built in soon but until then this works quite admirably.

Hi Guys,
Can't get this working.
Have Exchange 2007 w sp2 on Server 2008 64bit.
Connection requires SSL on port 8443
Works fine on N95 & N97
When I set up the N900 I get the following error

Error. Either exchange requires a secure connection or the account is disabled

The secured connection checkbox is ticked and the port set correctly & the account is abvioulsy not disabled.

Grr


Forgot to mention, we use self sign certs which seem to have been imported correctly on the N900. (Dropped the certs in a N900 folder and double clicked them to install)

The /home/user/.activesync/certs/ -directory does not have any symlinks to there. I manually symlinked the imported certificate from the .maemosec-certs/ssl-ca/ -directory to the activesync's directory, and it works!

(though it shouldn't be this hard)...

BR, Lari
Any chance of including some instructions on how to do this for those of us not up to speed with Linux?

The desktop widget - oh yes - how I'm missing this from the Symbian MfE implementation... just realizied a while ago how usefull this has been!

This bug is fixed in the update coming in near future, so the easiest thing is just to wait. But if you want to try out, 1st install rootsh to enable root shell, then open applications --> more --> x terminal
type:

Code:
sudo gainroot
cd /home/user/.activesync/certs/
ln -s /home/user/.maemosec-certs/ssl-ca/* .
that should do the trick

Cheers for the post.

Been a long time since I worked in Unix/Linux. Would never have remembered that :)

Was hoping this would fix my ""Exchange server equires secured connection or account is disabled" problem but alas no.

when I ran the ln command I had a few errors (2 permission denieds / file already exists)

:( Am most disapointed. Can't really swap to my N900 from my N97 until I get Exchange working :( :(

To check it is installed correctly open the Settings, then Certificate Manager and it should be in the list. If not you might have a certificate with no CA or its signed by an untrusted CA.

Already checked that and they're there :( :(

Still getting the "Exchange server requires ..." error

Certs were originally imported as for "Server " & "E-mail"
Just remove the "E-Mail" entry as I read elsewhere that "server" is required. Also made no diff
:(

You might have to do this as root so install rootsh and put

Code:
sudo gainroot
as the first command.

If you haven't already, try only entering only the "xxx.domain.xxx" portion.

That looks like an OWA address. Ask you sys admin for the activesync address

Should just be a server address (with no subfolders)

I check this post twice a day. Most cuz im desperate for the update so mfe starts working with our exchange 2003 solution at our workplace.

Great thread, and the upcomming update will make my N900 everything I beleieve it to be so hurry, hurry!

There's really nothing more i wish for from my phone, ah that's right "The N900 is not a phone - it's a computer"

I Wish i could get my mail working on my "computer".. ;)

Re: Mail for Exchange (MfE). Blame me here, pls
 
I came from the Linux world, but had to instead install "sysklogd". I didn't have to reboot the N900 after executing "apt-get install sysklogd".

Same in here. I really cannot use the phone before the new update. I need the MfE for my work so this is a showstopper!

Waiting the update..

I am not Maemo spokesman :) I can only confirm that the feedback I have received here about the need of this feature was delivered to the organization.

Quote:
I see that provisioning is partially (not full) supported in S60 and it would be nice to have the same partial implementation in Maemo.
I agree with you. But it is not an easy job to do. E.g., S60 has encrypted filesystem, Maemo does not. S60 has alphanumeric lock code, Maemo does not. And this is not about MfE per se. This is about platform modifications.

Yes. Modest bug.

Quote:

Very good idea. Could be implemented by the community, by the way. Modest is open-sourced...

Modest-specific.

[Personal opinion begins]
I open mail application only once - during the device start-up. N900 is good with multitasking. That's why I prefer to keep the modest opened all the time. So, the idea is good but sounds like a minor improvement for me.
[Personal opinion ends]

Quote:
4. My account is configured to automatically move certain e-mails to subfolders. Once I've opened up my account, there's still no indication as to whether or not/how many unread e-mails there are. I have to scroll though the whole list to see if there is anything unread in my subfolders.
Yep. Missed modest feature. Modest is open-sourced product, by the way...

Quote:
5. My most commonly used subfolder starts with "R". Since they are listed alphabetically, starting after all of the inbox/sent stuff, I need to scroll down through 4 pages of folders before I get to it. Reordering folders would be good, as would being able to hide folders or collapse sub-subfolders.
Feature request for modest. But I can suggest workaround(s):
  • Rename the most-used subfolder in such a way that it will be the very first in the list
  • Disable synchronization of subfolders which you don't want to see using mfefolders application which is accessible in extras-devel repository

Hi Vitaly,
a little late, but anyway: Happy New Year!

I haven't checked this thread since some days before christmas (and haven't read the postings since), but do get the impression the MfE-update is not just around the corner, right?

On some other thread there's rumours that a complete FW-update is due somewhere in Q1 2010. Will there be a separate MfE-update or would that be included in the overall one? Just to get a rough roadmap in terms of needing to check this thread the coming weeks;-) THX and have a good one,
TOM

You can disable notifications using E-Mail client Parameters screen. The other option is to use mfefolders application developed by THavoc. It allows you to disable sync of the specific folder(s). It is accessible in extras-devel repository.

Looks like another use case for mfefolders application developed by thavoc. It allows you to select the folders which you want to sync to the device. Available in extras-devel repository. Keep in mind - this is community application, not Nokia. And it is very fresh!

MfEfolders garage page
Actually there's not too much of an UI to translate, maybe the "Save" button :-)

(Note to self: have to look into Maemo/Python i18n)

It wouldn't be too hard I think since MfE already has the necessary folder support for email, and the device has multiple calendars.
So is this going to come for mFE ?
Having multiple calendars on the N900 is pretty useless, if it can't pull down multiple calendars via exchange..

Re: Mail for Exchange (MfE). Broken after Maemo update
 
Hi,
I had MfE working until this morning when my N900 informed me of a Maemo update.
After the update MfE is now unable to syncronise, usually giving me "The Exchange Server Is Not Responding".
I have verified the Exchange server is on by putting my Sim card back in my N97 and syncronising MfE on that with no issues.
I've also verified that the N900 is internet connected and that I'm able to browse, demonstrating not connectivity issues.

To say I'm a little unhappy at this is a bit of an understatement, especially since it was such a ball ache to get MfE working in the 1st place.

Any help appreciated

Could you check your settings? Are they correct? Especially, the server name and the port.

Thank you in advance.

P.S. The update you have received does not contain anything MfE-specific.

Settings haven't changed.
Have even deleted the MfE account and recreated it. Before posting here
No Joy.

And this update does have MfE changes in it. Previous version you were able to sync Calender AND/OR tasks but now these 2 have been lumped together so that you have to sync both. (My previous config was for Calender and E-mail only as I don't want to sync Tasks or Contacts). Although this particular chage may not be connected to my issues it still shows the MfE changes have been made and distributed in this update.

**Update**
I'm trying an Initial Sync. I'm watching the IIS logs for our activesync instance and am seeing the device connect so it's obviously not connectivity.

Abbreviated sample of the IIS log is

15:13:02 POST /Microsoft-Server-Activesync/default.eas CMD=Sync&DeviceID... etc
15:13:10 OPTIONS
15:13:16 POST /Microsoft-Server-Activesync/default.eas CMD=FolderSync&DeviceID... etc
15:14:19 POST /Microsoft-Server-Activesync/default.eas CMD=Sync&DeviceID... etc
15:16:09 POST /Microsoft-Server-Activesync/default.eas CMD=Sync&DeviceID... etc

I then get "Echange Server Is not Responding" on the device

If you want the full log lines I can get them to you but dont want to post them on a public forum

Re: Mail for Exchange (MfE). Broken after Maemo update
 
OK, the first post on this thread tells me in context of MS Exchange 2003:

"Wait for Software update"

Ok, it might be ok if something is not working and is getting to be fixed. With in later post I can read:

"Exchange 2003 support has been implemented, so it's down to when they're releasing it (I've not heard it having been fixed in the PR1.1 RC). I've no idea who's responsible for deciding that - doesn't seem to be the developers though.

And today there was an Maemo 5 Update - after a very long time of useless of my N900. And what? Still not working. What is going on here, guys wake up - this MfE 2003 Bug is critical and you've lost another customer. It is not acceptable in any way. Also no information what is this update for. Honestly, this is the best way to lose premium paying customers, because they expect the service and not only the hardware. I'm really sorry but the fruit company is doing it much better.

Oh btw, the problem: Synchronising is still not working but I would not have more to add to describe the bug (already in this forum for a too long time).

I really hope this is going to fix within one week, otherwise I'll return my device.

Re: Mail for Exchange (MfE). Blame me here, pls
 
The latest firmware update is only a minor one, containing required updates in order for the full PR1.1 update to be rolled out (and a few minor fixes).

hge 2010-01-11 15:24
Re: Mail for Exchange (MfE). Blame me here, pls
 
Honestly, I can't listen to this anymore that the update is coming soon. Also I'm very long working within Linux environment and I've never heard of "minor update" to prepare the big one.
