I think you might have confused "hardly advised" with "heartily advised". They're effectively opposites, but they sound almost the same, so it's an easy mistake to make.
btw, i already took the liberty of changing that word in the MfE Wiki site

They dislike me already I will become guber99 of Maemo if I continue this way

Hi chaps,
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".
It can be caused by several reasons:
1) The server is really not accessible from the network you use. E.g., the port is filtered by the firewall. You can try to check is this a reality using the command line (xterm) and telnet utility.
2) The connection can be established but the server does not respond to the specific query in 90 secs.
Most probably your case is the second if you are able to start initial sync. In this case you can try to disable syncing of calendar and contacts and check how initial sync proceeds. And enable it later from the configuration application.

Is it not really time to wrap up this thread - and create a new thread with a summary. With 1100+ posts - this thread is now a nightmare to read through and a lot of posts relates to PR1.0.
It would be nice with a PR1.1 thread - and when PR1.2 or whatever comes out - do a summary and create a new thread.
just my two cents....
Regarding the new thread - I agree with you. I suggest to switch to a new thread when new MfE release will be publicly available.

Regarding the corporate culture, you are right. Americans are obsessed with their security and being able to control things (control freaks). That is the culture, and that is why I prefer Nokia Way. However, I need to respond hourly on my phone, and without being to sync with my server...................this wonderful device is of no use. And I will guberize until provisioning enabled!

Back to topic.
I get somewhat confused when trying to depict whether a feature request is MfE-related or not. After having it given some thought I come to the conclusion that this most eventually origins from where in maemo I make the desired settings. When setting up a MfE-account on the E71 I can define settings which are definitely not related to MfE-functionality per se. But the options are integrated in the GUI-wizard.
As example I would bring up whether to sync or not when on a GSM/ UMTS roaming connection (or similar with folder-subsciptions). All entries/ settings are set on the MfE-wizard though they are not directly MfE-related function-wise. But sure are GUI-wise.
As end-user you probably couldn't care less if the feature you just enabled by check-box is "powered" by MfE or some other tiny daemon hidden somewhere in the vaults of the maemo OS. But having those settings all in one place is what I'd call (end)user-friendly ;-)
What would I want to say?
I can't help thinking that there should be included as much setting options as possible in the MfE-wizard (or MfE settings tab) - even if they're not directly linked to MfE's original purpose - plain sync.
But the GUI - at least for me - is part of the MfE project too.
I know this sounds somehow ignorant to the devs' work behind the scenes, but having a nicely working/ feature-rich GUI is what probably 90% of us N900 users judge your progress on - especially since we can't check out SVN on changes ;-)

Welcome back !
Sorry to bother you...but if you could look at this issue...you'll make me happy and I could start using N900. Now it is alone in the desk :-( .
I don't know if the problem is due to the VERY POOR Calendar or to a problem in MFE protocol with 2003 server.
I cannot use calendar and task sync... it crashed the MFE sysnc process...Probably for the presence of recurring events..someone has showed a workaround to this issue but I don't have the time to cancel every recurring event in Outlook Exchange...so please...fix this as soon as possible.
Another thing: do you know someone responsible for Calendar/Modest coding in Maemo team?
We need to have those apps upgraded in several ways to improve usability and basic missing features.
Where we have to ask ?
Thanks,
Cesare

Hi,
I would suggest that those who believe in this thread moderate it themselves. Don't feed the troll and don't allow them to gain more momentum than required (none at all).
I will not hesitate to close this thread if it becomes a troll cave.
Guber99, you've been warned.

Now that Symbian is open sourced, is there anything to be gained from its MfE?

We need to have those apps upgraded in several ways to improve usability and basic missing features.
Where we have to ask ?
1) File the bugs against corresponding components in maemo bugzilla
2) Contribute to the open-sourced code.
Modest is fully open-sourced. And calendar backend is open-sourced as far as I remember.

2. A lot of Nokians use N900 without any problems. And IT department was not forced to change their policy to satisfy N900.
Regarding provisioning in general - it looks like a difference in corporate cultures in Europe and USA. European corporations tend to allow non-provisionable devices. American tend to disallow.
