I tested starring a message on the Droid and it does flag it in Outlook, but it flags it for completion next week.

Certificate issues will cause problems with your connection. Is your firm using self-signed certs? Does your IT dept require SSL?I've tried everything to include the OWA address in the server name and nothing is working.
We have an issue with our cert on the Exchange server. Is it possible that is the cause of why I can't connect to the exchange server? I've tried all the SSL options and every variation of them but nothing is working.
Thanks
Nope - not just a GUI for the existing.I just downloaded it. Unless I'm really missing something, it is just a GUI for the account already on your phone (that doesn't work). Looks like a pretty slick app though and even had a tasks selection.

All anyone needs to do to sync email with the corporate account is get the address for OWA (used so employee can check email when away from work) You walk through the email setup choosing exchange and enter the owa address in the server field. This works with no issue for email sync. I get emails within seconds of them being sent. My calander also syncs with no issues. Sure you can not accept meeting invite yet however when they are accepted on the computer they are then sent to the calendar on the droid.
Can anyone confirm that you don't need the 45 dollar data plan to get Corporate email through activesync and Exchange? When I was buying the phone Verizon has changed the data plan from BB data plan to smartphone and BB data plan. Also I have read about 6 different articles that contradict each other.

Personal Droid Data Will Cost $30, Even With Exchange
Okay. There's a lot of confusion going on around the Internet about the Motorola Droid's service plans. Some people are saying that if you want to connect to a Microsoft Exchange account, data will cost $45 a month instead of $30.
This is wrong.
I checked with Verizon Wireless HQ and got the official response from spokeswoman Brenda Raney. First of all, the Droid uses the exact same data plans as every Windows Mobile phone on Verizon. There is no special Droid data plan.
Second, whether you pay $30 or $45 doesn't depend on what you're doing with the phone. You can hit Exchange email on the $30 plan just fine. It depends on what kind of Verizon Wireless account you have.
If you have a personal account or family plan, your data will cost $30/month. It doesn't matter if you're using Microsoft Exchange, Facebook, Gmail, or whatever - it's $30. This is the same for all Verizon Windows Mobile and Android phones.
Data on business accounts - "corporate liable," multiple lines, purchased through business sales, usually mediated by an IT department - costs $45/month. Once again, this is the same for every Windows Mobile and Android phone.
The same goes for AT&T's iPhones, by the way. Thousands if not millions of people access Microsoft Exchange email on personal, $30/month iPhone data plans, blissfully unaware that if they were a corporate-liable business account their data plan would cost $45. Once again, it's not down to the kind of e-mail you're accessing, it's down to whether you are classed as an "individual" or a "business" in the carrier's system.
So where's the confusion been coming from? Carrier definitions of "business" and normal human definitions of "business" are different. For carriers, it doesn't matter if you're doing business. They only care if you are a business. Are you a rogue operator, a lone wolf, using a personal credit card to activate your single line of service? Then plow right ahead with your Exchange email on the $30 plan - with your Droid or your iPhone.
You don't need to pay an additional $15 for exchange access unless you have a corporate phone (provided to you by your company)...this is from Verizon directly...

However I see none of my work email on the Droid (it doesn't seem to be being pushed to the Droid). Navigating to where it should be gives me a blank screen. In the email screen where I see the Verizon and work accounts, there is a check to the right of the Verizon band but not to the right of the work email band. Others in this company can access the Exchange server from iPhones and Blackberries.
Thanks,

Grace - you definitely DO NOT need to upgrade your data plan for Touchdown to work. As for a free app, try K-9, but it won't do calendar and tasks - just mail.3) Many of you praised the app Touchdown. If I'm using it for Exchange mail, can I still stay on the $30 plan? Are there other apps that are similar to Touchdown but free (I know about the 5-day trial and it's only 10$, but I'm a poor grad student!)?
Thanks so much in advance!!!
