The problem was the datatbase backup file as advised by Maemo Bugzilla Bug 11475
https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11475

1. Delete /home/user/.activesync directory. I suppose, because of error 1) you
may need root privileges to do that. It can be done from x-terminal with the
command:
rm -r /home/user/.activesync

2. Delete activesync database. The first sync after reboot will take everything
from Exchange server again. Close email application before it. It can be done
from x-terminal application with the command:
rm -r /home/user/.qmf

3. Reboot the device.
4. Start sync if it doesn't start automatically. It can take quite a long time.
5. After the sync has been completed, run email application. If you don't see
folders, close and open it once again. It will re-read them from database.
6. Don't use that backup any more. It would be better to create a new one after
the sync has been completed.

Hi,

My company has just changed its name and consequently all email addresses will need to change. In my Exchange account settings the e-mail account field is greyed out. Is there a way to edit this?

no, the actual mail-address is set by the exchange server.
if it doesn't change, try recreating your MfE account, that should do it.

I didn't know she had a pony. How was I to know she had a pony? Who figures an immigrant's going to have a pony? Do you know what the odds are on that? I mean, in all the pictures I saw of immigrants on boats coming into New York harbor, I never saw one of them sitting on a pony. Why would anybody come here if they had a pony? Who leaves a country packed with ponies to come to a non-pony country? It doesn't make sense.. am I wrong?

Looks like my issue might be due to this: https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5769

Turning off time auto update has fixed it.

I tried to look for the solution in the thread, but I may either look for the wrong keywords or whatever...

anyway, I can make the configuration stick anymore in my N900. Everytimg I set up MfE and close it after the sync, it forgets it's there and asks me to set it up again...

Anyone knows why and what I should delete? ( I tried removing .activesync and .qmf, but with no luck).

PS: my experience with MfE and Google summarized in this post: Synching your N900 with Google (Mail, Contacts, Calendar) with no third-party tools or service.

Hi,

Everything else in MfE in my N900 is working perfectly but can't send email. When i create a new email or reply, the mail gets stuck in the Outbox, and after a while it says "unable to send". And when something in outbox, the manual send/receive don't update the folders. Meaning it doesn't update the incoming emails manually either == does not refresh "last updated" timestamp. However, i can confirm a calendar invitation, it gets through always, and as mentioned everything else works smooth.

Sometimes, maybe less than 1/10, the MfE mail gets sent succesful. I have an IMAP account too on my N900, and no problems sending from that account via smtp.

Company Exchange/Activesync is ver 2007. I am using PR1.3 with powerkernel. However, i had the same issue with original kernel too.

Google and Maemo.org search did not help.

I would really appreciate comments/experience/help shared, on this very annoying bug. Thanks.

The only problem I've found with sending emails via MfE is that it doesn't like the standard address format (i.e. "Bob Smith <bob.smith@here.com>"), even though it automatically uses that format for replies. Just using the email address portion ("bob.smith@here.com") instead has always worked for me though.
