I have an ongoing issue with the MfE app in the N900 refusing to connect to our Exchange 2003 server. We have the latest pe1.1 firmware (checked it today 5th Feb 2010 and no newer firmware is avialble).

The MfE initialy worked fine and started the initial sync. As the initial sync finished, the only option was Previous. The Finish button didnt highlight. We left it ages (about 6 hours) but nothing, so we cancelled it and lost the lot.

We tried to set it up again straight away but now cant get past the server information. It says

"Exchange server is not responding verify account settings are correct".

We've checked the account, tried other accounts on the same server, and it says the same each time.

The SSL cert is a valid one and we can connect using the same user details to the servers web interface and work with email that way, so we are happy the server is workin. Other Exchange push devices are also working though this is the only N900 we have.

Any ideas ?

I'm using MfE with Exchange 2003, and self-signed certificate on the server. I imported the server certificate into my N900 and tagged it as "Server" and "E-Mail" certificate (not sure if both or either is necessary), and after that everything connected without issue. Also in my case the OWA has a different hostname than the mail server, so I imported certificates for both hosts. FWIW

update: here i will give you my exact settings.

For server name I actually use the OWA server, not the normal mail server. Port 443. Secure connection is ON
