I asked my IT Dept if they'd turn off the requirement for Provisioning. And of course the answer was "No". So no Exchange for me. Hopefully the promised MfE update will include provisioning support, or else the N900 becomes less attractive.

Where do you place the url for the server?

From vitaly_repin's replies earlier in this thread, provisioning seemed not to be currently planned for Maemo5 as it'd require a quite thorough reworking of the whole system, not just email.

Could you post your feedback (better negative and constructive) to this thread?

At first, Let me put the FAQ.

- It does not work with google!
- Yes. And it should not. The release of the software which you can find in the box you have received was not designed to be compatible with google.

- OK, dude. What your piece of smth. is compatible with?
- MS Exchange server 2007. Period.

- Ohoho! What about Exchange 2003?
- Wait for sw. update.

- Ohoho! But what is the problem with google? I really want to have it!
- Google implementation of ActiveSync protocol and MS implementation of ActiveSync are different implementations of the protocol. http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/p...statement.mspx

- Can community do something to get the google support on board?
- Yes. Influence Google (to be compatible with N900) and Nokia (to be compatible with google).

- Does it support several accounts of type ActiveSync
- No.

So, guys, I am waiting for your feedback. What are the worst problems you experience with MfE solution for Maemo?

Update. Maemo 5 MfE features wish list online poll
Dear Vitaly, I am here in United States and I am on the cusp of returning my Nokia N900. I have tried setting up Mail for exchange to sync with my work 2007 exchange server with no luck. I use the same settings that have been successful on my E series phones and iPhone. I get to the first sync page and when sync is started the progress box fills up to one fifth and then stops. No error messages. My IT guys are stumped. What are we doing wrong? What else do we need? I am using T mobile Internet with a plan that works on my other devices.

Why dont you make necessities such as work email easy on this device???? I have an iphone that I wanted to dump for Nokia n900, but I tell you, iphone mail for exchange is superb. I can even search it on the phone and on the server, and never issues setting it up!

Please don't bold whole posts, it's not much better than ALL CAPS.

I'm not sure you've checked with the IT people about allowing non-provisionable devices? Couldn't find anything about it in your posts, at least.

Besides vitaly_repin, is anyone else at Nokia aware of these MfE shortcomings and complains? I have a feeling all this is falling on deaf ears and is for nothing.

I would not expect Provisioning support in the short term. This might not be the answer you are looking for. Nokia will probably wait for a security framework to be in place before they sort out provisioning.

I am also having issues with MFE on the n900
We are using exchange 07
I am part of the IT department
It works over Wifi, but if i use TMO internet it does not.
I installed the cert from our OWA web portal, and now i can actually see the web page for the web portal, but MFE does not work over tmobile internet at all. I can only sync via wifi. I tried hte finnish trick with no avail Anyone have any ideas or a way i can resolve this problem?
I was also on the line with TMO tier 3 support with no luck, they said my line has no internet blockings and such, so i am totally lost as to why its not working? Any help would be appreciated
I also checked the non provision device trick, and we allow non-prov devices, so i am not sure what hte problem is....anyone else in my boat or knows how to fix my problem?

Update: Have a Tmo engineer looking into it....As i was guessing, its a tmo problem.
