the htc info about turning ssl off is not correct
on exchange under activesync settings
there is a setting
"allow access to devices that do not fully support password settings"
most organisations will have set up active sync to require a password
when you connect to the mailbox for the first time (on ihone \ windows mobile) if the device does not have a password set , active sync prompts the user to create one
on android this setting cannot be enforced so you are not able to complete active sync set up
there is also a setting to allow users to be excluded from the password policy requirement , this works as i have tested it
i would expect most exchange admins to deny this request
htc \ google need to code their software to work in the standard secure way
in our environment we have win mobile devices and apple iphones and they all work without having to make any changes on the server end
there is also a third party piece of software that allows active sync to work as one of our users bought it for the first google phone
