Help Exchange on the droid

It won't send any emails... just sits in the outbox..don't get any emails either.. After I enter the account info, I can see it logs on fine as it goes to configuration for how many emails to keep and how many intervals.. makes sense? Thanks

Did you tell it to also sync contacts? Did they sync if so? You can open that mailbox, hit menu, and account settings and make sure everything looks correct there...

I just returned my Droid for this very reason. Getting it to set up with exchange is a nightmare... at best.

Really??? I thought it was easier to set-up my Exchange account on the DROID then it has been for the many, many WinMo devices I handle for my company.

All I had to do was input my email address, password, and domain and it was done!

IamReady : What exchange server are you guys running? 2003 or 2007?

yes contacts are in sync.. Once I hit the refresh, you can see a circle as if it is working..

I have a funny feeling I need Exchange server 2007 to use it as I am thinking Exchange 2003 push does not work..

Touchdown does not need push to work.. so that is why it is working for me..

This is from another thread:

I'm one of the Network Admins for my company and my Droid syncs with Exchange perfectly. We were running on Exchange 2003 and recently went to Exchange 2007 and using a wildcard certificate which is one reason why I had to replace my old Motorola Q (the main reason is because it was old and is a piece of crap). Windows Mobile 5 Activesync is not compatible with a wildcard certificate. That being said, there are a few things that can keep a Droid from connecting to Exchange but not the iPhone or other Windows Mobile phones. One of THE BIGGEST reasons the Droid will not connect to Activesync has to do with a activesync policy configuration on the Exchange server. Basically it has something to do with password provisioning the device or something to that extent. In fact, here's a link from Verizon that is directly associated to this issue. I did a lot of research prior to purchasing the Droid to make sure I could prepare our Exchange environment to support it. The problem is that a lot of people make the changes to their Activesync policies because it does increase security. Problem is, the Droid isn't yet compatible with these settings. Keep in mind the Droid is basically running what is still a Beta OS. Sure this phone was released to the public with it and technically they SHOULD have told people that Android 2.0 isn't technically RTM, but what's done is done. I use the phone knowing it's technically beta and I'll run into bugs. So for those of you out there still unable to sync exchange with your Droid...have your IT folk remove device password settings in the Activesync profile. This can even be set per user account if your IT folk don't want to set it as default.

I've had Exchange problems, too. It initially sets up just fine, but then it doesn't ever receive push notifications for changes to Contacts and Calendar events. If I make a change on the device, it will push it back up to the server just fine, but changes on the server never make it to the device unless I manually sync them.

Touchdown synced fine both ways, but it has big problems handling recurring calendar events, which was a showstopper for me.

How is the Corporate Calendar option working with your Exchange environment. I run Exchange 2003 with a variety of phones, but some of the new Droid's are challenging me with the Corporate Calendar! Mail & Contacts work fine!
