In the accounts section, yes. My MfE account. The one I use to choose "all mail" (i.e All mail that's on the server, from any time in the past) on every other platform other than Maemo or Meego.

When you then setup the "when and how often " to sync, the furthest back you can go is two weeks, meaning any mail that's older than 2 weeks in your IMAP folders is not displayed, even after syncing them. The N900 had the same limitation. Am I missing something here?

I still have the problem that some emails only have headers downloaded, even though I have selected 'get messages and attachments. But some come through ok.

Also cc'd people are not included when 'reply to all',

Hello!

I'm not sure if this has been covered already but hopefully not ;-)
A search didn't help...

Out of the box (the N9) I started fresh with one SIM card and added two email accounts, one gmail and one Pop3 and apart from some initial trouble with outgoing smtp and tsl/ssl it worked well. Then I changed to another SIM card and after that both accounts wouldn't sync anymore. Usually this kind of thing triggers a password prompt on other OS's. I had to perform a full reset as removing and adding the accounts didn't help.

Otherwise I think email works as good as I hoped for.

Regards,
Per

Hi!

When I started to write this, I was going to just come with praise, but as I have played a bit more, I have a couple of questions... :P

I'm actually very happy with the email-client in general. It does what I need - and better than any built-in email app I've seen so far.

1) It seems this "always updated" (or what the text says in english) for MfE isn't really always. It's more like every 15 minutes or something. This was working nicely with my N900 (and also every other phone I've tried). Not a very big problem, but when I have "always updated" with an IMAP account, it's makes a sound immediately, as I would expect MfE to do also.

2) I would really appreciate an option to choose what folder to save sent emails in for IMAP. Now they are coming in "Sent", which at least is much better than just some local storage. But it would be awesome to choose that folder. I would be more than happy with just an gconf-setting or something...

Otherwise, great work! Really happy

Regards,
Stian

Any pointers?
Update: Interesting, seems that I get the same log entry repeated even if I type a wrong password, instead of the correct credentials. Maybe my password with some special characters (e.g. 1st char) could be the cause? Will investigate further.
you've got "the remote server requires authentication to serve the content but the credentials provided were not accepted (if any)" error. I think I might know what could cause your problem. Could you change your password (start from password containing only Latin characters and numbers) and try to set up account again?

Hmm, that a bit strange, because "always up-to-date" mode works quite simple. When server tells us that there are any changes in folder(s) (calendar and contacts too), we are syncing it. So, perhaps it is a server issue (may be not, can't tell you anything without logs).

Noted. Thanks for a feedback

Can you attach logs for this case (don't forget to remove any private data that you don't want to share )? This issue looks familiar to me.

Well, I can tell you a "dirty hack" that will allow you to download all messages from your Exchange server. However, it's not recommended solution, because it is not an official feature.

To do this hack you need to:
1) Connect your device to PC in mass storage mode.
2) Open /home/user/.accounts/accounts.db (it is an SQLite database, so you need something like sqlitebrowser to open and edit it)
3) In this DB you should find in "settings" table an "email/past_time" setting (this is a string in the 'key' column) for your MfE account and change value to 0.
4) Save DB.
5) Disconnect your device from PC.
6) Reboot the device.
7) Sync your MfE account (if it will not start syncing automatically).

WARNINGS:
1) This hack might confuse you a bit, because after that hack you will see sync back mails as "3 days" value (plus it might overwrite this setting in the DB, so it's better to not save it at all (or even not open mail account settings)).
2) Manual changes in the accounts DB might corrupt the DB, so, in case of any troubles, you'll have to recreate ALL accounts (this is means that you will lose ALL accounts info).
!!!!THIS IS NOT SOMETHING RECOMMENDED TO DO. DO IT IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING. DO IT ON YOUR OWN RISK - All the accounts can be corrupted!!!!!!!

Accounts system on N9 is tied to your simcard. You can have up to 7 sim cards in the same device to share same accounts -- as long as you have enabled device lock code. If device lock code was enabled before you have created those accounts, then all those simcards would have served as additional locks for Accounts store while device lock code would be your master lock key. The 7 sim card "limitation" comes from underlying technology albeit we could have expanded that to 32 but this was decided not reasonable case to fork established open source project (encryption of block level devices in Linux kernel).

Update: Yes, problem solved.

Solution: As a (current) workaround, don't use special characters in your password.

My 'secure' password seems to have been the cause. MfE account setup works perfectly with another (plain) password, seems that the software doesn't currently escape certain characters properly. E.g. a password starting with $.

I trust you will have this fixed for the future.

What's been done: I have imported&installed two certificates to the N9 cert store. I have added our server's non-qualified domain name to the hosts-file on N9. I can access the Exchange server using N9's browser without a problem: pointing the N9 browser to the server's non-fqdn address (which I entered to the hosts file) takes the browser to the landing page on the Exchange server without complaining/asking anything about the self-signed cert.

Then, I've set up all the settings in MfE client exactly the same way as on the N900. Tried with and without provisioning. The "settings wizard" attempts to make a contact with Exhange server (no popups about certs or anything) for a few minutes and fails with message "no response from Exhange server, check your settings".

I can't get any further than this and there are no logs I could use at /var/logs. Am a bit frustrated already.

Update on my part: I set up MfE while connected to our internal WiFi using server internal name (so no certificates needed), and it worked flawlessly. So now I have MfE while in office . Actually even that is better than nothing as at least I can do a sync before leaving office and thus have an offline copy of calendar and mail with me.

Getting the certificates working would be nice though...
