Could you post your feedback (better negative and constructive) to this thread?

At first, Let me put the FAQ.

- It does not work with google!
- Yes. And it should not. The release of the software which you can find in the box you have received was not designed to be compatible with google.

- OK, dude. What your piece of smth. is compatible with?
- MS Exchange server 2007. Period.

- Ohoho! What about Exchange 2003?
- Wait for sw. update.

- Ohoho! But what is the problem with google? I really want to have it!
- Google implementation of ActiveSync protocol and MS implementation of ActiveSync are different implementations of the protocol. http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/p...statement.mspx

- Can community do something to get the google support on board?
- Yes. Influence Google (to be compatible with N900) and Nokia (to be compatible with google).

- Does it support several accounts of type ActiveSync
- No.

So, guys, I am waiting for your feedback. What are the worst problems you experience with MfE solution for Maemo?

Update. Maemo 5 MfE features wish list online poll
Dear Vitaly, I am here in United States and I am on the cusp of returning my Nokia N900. I have tried setting up Mail for exchange to sync with my work 2007 exchange server with no luck. I use the same settings that have been successful on my E series phones and iPhone. I get to the first sync page and when sync is started the progress box fills up to one fifth and then stops. No error messages. My IT guys are stumped. What are we doing wrong? What else do we need? I am using T mobile Internet with a plan that works on my other devices.

Why dont you make necessities such as work email easy on this device???? I have an iphone that I wanted to dump for Nokia n900, but I tell you, iphone mail for exchange is superb. I can even search it on the phone and on the server, and never issues setting it up!
