Help Trouble setting up Exchange email

Hey all. Hope you can help me with my new HTC One. I am trying to set my work email onto my phone via exchange. It's not officially sanctioned by my company but I had it on my previous device (Droid Bionic) and many others do as well. Running into problems though. I've tried it both through the mail app as well as on touchdown. Touchdown gave me the following report. Did my IT department shut down access or am I reading this incorrectly. Any help is much appreciated.

Checking Certificate...Checking to see if server is self-signed :https://mail.XXXXX.com

Thanks, Thom... I'm in the construction industry so it's not super strict. They had previously allowed it. I had it set up on my Droid Bionic. Just trying to determine if they shut that down or I'm doing something wrong configuring.

My previous phone asked for username/domain of the same line While this set up has them separate. I've tried all different combinations and can't figure it out.

95% of the time it's on the company's end.

It's possible they have blocked access to outside devices. A call into your IT dept will verify this, instead of you chasing your tail.

If they are giving you access but you're still having issues, see if you can get the certificate pushed to you, either owa browser (certificate used when you access your mail from a browser) or if your IT dept can send you the certificate.
