Hello.
I'm trying to connect my Nokia N900 Version 20.2010.36-2 with my office outlook exchange folders and I can't.

I always get stuck at Credential.
Then I click out of the box and a box say" All changes made to the settings will be lost. Continue anyway?" then I click NO.

Doing that I can go on to Server Settings where the story start again.
It get stuck when I press NEXT and I must press outside the box to continue.
Going on till the end.
After that I click next and get stuck to First Syncronization for hours!

Any ideas on how to let it work? Please help me.
Thank You.
Regards


The page source of my outlook web access page show it is a 2003 server.

Code:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">

I am having the same problem as you; however, trying your method (clicking outside of dialogue box and selecting "no") does not even allow me to advance...

It remains stuck on the credentials screen...indefinitely.

Anyone?

I found the solution!
I set up my Mail for Exchange server using IMAP server instead and guess what.... it worked flawlessly!

Try it and let us know!
Damn I hate server admin who does't know anything about the server settings!

Domain: when you access to your Outlook Web Access page you usually insert your username in this format: "Domain\Username" right?

server: you should ask this to your server admin since it is not a pop3 account but an exchange account.

by the port are you setting I understand you are not setting up an exchange account but a simple pop3 account which is different.

You should use secure access.

Try set up a IMAP mailbox instead.

I have same issue - stuck at credentials. I cant see any way to install certificate either.

has anyone solved it yet? IMAP only gives me emails not calendar and contacts and all the other stuff you use exchange for?

Hi TMO guys.
My N900 recently stopped syncing with my MFE account. (possibly when I changed the password needed to enter the account).

If I try to kick off a Sync I get a brief message "error occurred".

I cannot edit or even Delete the MFE account. When I press on the "Edit accounts" option for the MFE account I get "error occurred"

As Maemo only allows one MFE account, I cant even set up a new one.

Any ideas, how to solve it?
Is is possible to change the password the MFE account uses from within terminal? (this would be my preferred option!)
Is it possible to delete the MFE account from within terminal?

Appreciate any guidance, hoping to avoid a reflash!

Yea, I suspect certs. But for mail for exchange there were proper ports and ssl settings too. It has been about sis months now that my N900 has had email cut off but I had MfE reload calendar sometime this summer.

You could be right. I changed the password for MFE back to the old one and it didnt help. Set up an IMAP account and it seems to work OK. So everything points to MFE doing something different (i.e. certs).
