Our organization allows the use of personal devices to access email/calendars etc via Lotus Traveler. Unfortinately, although this is really just an exchange protocol, it does not run on my N900 as the first thing that the server requests is that the phone supports provisioning (remote wipe etc) As the N900 doesn't support this, the connection is dropped and I am refused.

I know there were posts previously about this and one of the team that worked on the email mfe implementation stated it wouldn't appear, but can our genius members do anything?
AFAIK the MfE is not open-source, so any updates to it directly probably aren't going to happen.

That being said... if you can find where in the MfE binary the Q/A for "Here's the provisioning info" "Sorry, I can't do that" is, and change the response... maybe with hexeditor or some LD_PRELOAD trickery, depending how it was implemented.

Or maybe create a simple proxy that watches the EAS traffic and alters the response to that question. Might have to use stunnel or something if your company uses https instead of plaintext. EAS Provisioning protocol is described here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...CHG.80%29.aspx
