Hmm, its strange, syncing calender have worked like a charm the past 6 months. Now I got the same problem.
Im syncing with Hotmail.
And the only significant thing I have done is a full re-sync a a few weeks ago, maybe its that causing the bug to apear.
Also I want to point out a warning finger on Hermes.
Hermes have serveral times messed up the contact sync for me.
Last time all contacts I added photos on was deleted from my hotmail-account.
Nowdays I only add photos on my contacts manually, this doesnot mess up thing sofar.

Hello everybody,
I think I'm running into this bug:
https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9943
When I try to connect, mfe is asking for AAAA record. It gets a response, but the standart kernel is not able to talk ipv6.
Is there a way to prevent mfe to ask for a AAAA and directly ask for a A record (v4)?
echo "address=/yourexchangehost.com/123.45.67.8" >> /etc/dnsmasq.conf
Cheers,
Jan

Hi, for those using Mail For Exchange to gmail / m.google.com on their N900.
I recently started receiving the message "Error in communication with exchange server" when syncing MforE (calendar only in my case).
Removing N900 calendar entries and running a full resync normally resolves this, but it the full resync failed with the same error as above.
Removing the MforE connection and running the MforE connection Wizard also failed with the same error on the page where you enter m.google.com and 443 port.
Following the instructions to modify dnsmasq.conf resolved this issue. i.e.
1. Launch X terminal
2. sudo gainroot
3. cd /
4. cd /etc
5. echo "address=/m.google.com/173.194.67.193" >> /etc/dnsmasq.conf
6. exit
7. reboot N900

Guys, could you please try "FB fix" i.e. install libcurl3 from extras-devel and report if it solves the problem for you. Disable dnsmasq.conf workaround first of course

Hi all,
Just to confirm the Libcurl3 update works on MforE to m.google.com after backing out the dnsmasq.conf work-around. (reboot N900 after each step).
For people not clear of the process:
Libcurl3 is from extras-dev so you have to enable the Extras Devel catalogue in application manager first (you can disable afterwards):
Navigate to the application menu (tap the title bar)
Select ‘Application catalogs’
Select ‘New’
Enter a catalog name of ‘Maemo extras-devel’
Enter a web address of http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel/
Enter a distribution of ‘fremantle’
Enter components of ‘free non-free’
Select ‘Save’
To apply the libcurl3 update:
Launch X terminal
sudo gainroot
apt-get install libcurl3
exit
exit
Reboot N900
Finally, many thanks to those commited developers providing us mere mortals with solutions.

I would like to ask 2 things:
1) During the installation recommended package "ca-certificates". Should I install it too? (do not know if you have to do, but my n900 has several certificates are not valid in "Settings" -> "Certificate Manager". Also My date / time are correct)
2) The file "/ etc / dnsmasq.conf" is not empty. You need to empty it manually?
Thank you very much

All times are GMT. The time now is 16:08.
...well, I get all sorts of timeouts etc...I had to wipe the calendar first, and then the show-stopper.
...it kept messing up my contact's work and home emails. I have each contact with Mobile (Home) and Mobile(Work) etc, and it'd do things like turn both mobile numbers into "Work" and "Mobile", but both containing the work number, erasing the home one.
...I then noticed after a few days I had 6-7 of each contact. Had to spend several hours (even with the find duplicates plugin!) merging them all back together. Not cool.
Annoying enough, in fact to make me glance at the open source MfE project with a view to pulling that in as a CSSU replacement...but then I remembered how many things I already have on my TODO list
