Re: Activesync fixes
 

Agreed on the non-provisioning issue. Most IT policies will not allow non-provisional devices. I hope this gets resolved...

Re: Activesync fixes
 

In his MfE support thread, Vitaly Repin has thoroughly explained the blockers to provisioning support on Maemo 5 on more than one occasion. There's no benefit in covering that ground again here.

Please keep this thread focused upon open source alternatives to Nokia's MfE implementation. Doing otherwise will make this thread redundant and cause it to be merged into Vitaly's thread.

Re: [Maemo 5] Open Source MfE / Activesync Implementation?
 

Agreed. I never intended this thread to turn political; I was merely seeking interest and info regarding an alternate sync implementation.

As it turns out, sync does work for me. It was a user error (they changed the exchange server hostname at the same time I got my n900, by pure coincidence). So I'll probably focus my effort elsewhere for now.

I would still be interested in an OSS exchange sync plugin for Maemo, especially if the official agent does implement real provisioning support (allowing remote wipe and enforced device locking), as I don't want others to have that level of control over my device.

Re: Activesync fixes
 

I got the same problem and there seems to be no solution to this coming soon. Nokias reply was that a good merchant would have told me that upfront.
Quite shocking if you consider the price of the phone, claiming exchnage server support but not being able to connect to most of them due to non-provisioning.

vote for the Provide "provisioning support" for Exchange bug https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8452

maybe someone can fix it
