I have a self-signed certificate, it works fine....

I just installed Certificate Services on the Web Server (In my case the same server as it is SBS).

Created the certificate (plenty of steps on google for how to do that, but here is what I used http://www.msexchange.org/tutorials/..._OWA_2003.html. I used the Subordinate Template.

Logged onto mydomain.com/certsrv, and requested to download a certificate, I think in DER format. I only downloaded the CA Certificate, not the whole chain.

Copy the certificate to you device

Open it and select Install. I selected it for Server and E-Mail.......If it doesnt install, then you have downloaded the wrong type of certificate, try downloading again with the other type.

It is also worth mentioning to download MfEFolders and tell your device not to sync deleted items - this caused errors on the sync, and junk folder - I was notified of new mail everytime something went into junk

Ok, not seamless and out of the box, but fairly simple once you have worked your way through it

That's not a self-signed cert. A self-signed cert is one that is signed by itself rather than by another certificate. You've set up your own CA and used that to sign the certificate.

The only way a self-signed certificate will work with MfE currently is if it has the CA flag set. This is not done normally though, so you'd have to specifically configure things to generate it this way.

Guys, sorry, but it's a huge thread already and search didn't help.

- I see some folders are empty inside, but shows unread email at the top level. Is it a know issue? And is there a solution for that?

- I saw a request on bugs.maemo.ru regarding Virtual Unread folder or sorting by Unread. Is there any discussion on that? How likely it will be implemented.

Any comments are appreciated.

Depends what software you're using to generate the certificate.

For openssl, you'll need to specify to use the v3_ca extensions (at least, that's where the CA flag is specified in the config files on my servers), so adding "-extensions v3_ca" to the "openssl req" command will do this.

Hi THavoc.

Thanks anyway....but..if it is not possible a tree structure, wold it be possible to have a nested folder structure (always as an option of couurse) ? I mean a sort of special folder (you have to see that it contains other folders) that when you tap it open the list of the folder of 2nd level and then you tap and go to the emails.

IAnyway...now I am a bit worried about MeeGo announcement...and I don't understand if the MFE parts (and the other ones closed source) will be release as open source in the new OS or not...I fear to have a great device that will be "killed" by MeeGO and the changement in Maemo development.
