Exchange Mail without Pin Lock

Hi guys,

I've just set up my exchange mail on my new Note 3 and it's great, except it needs a PIN lock so every time I go to use my phone I have to put the PIN in which gets annoying.

Just wondering if there's a way to have the exchange mail without the PIN lock?

I downloaded a hacked mail app for my SGS3 when I had it which worked perfectly, but I'd like to avoid putting a custom OS on my Note 3 just to get the hacked mail app, if possible.

Any suggestions would be great

Likely a policy set by your Employer. If you don't want a pin on your main phone, just setup Knox. You still get the notifications and you just need the pin if you want to read the mails.

Also don't forget. Your employer is able to wipe your phone using Active Sync. With Knox all they can wipe is the Knox part, but not your actual phone.

pretty sure they can't wipe the phone unless they installed a program on the phone itself to do that function. You can't wipe a phone with a policy because it should never log into windows. androids are not active directory friendly.

we use Meraki from Cisco installed on all our tablets and company paid phones. Lets us track and remotely wipe everything in case the the device was lost. Directors are talking about forcing private phones who access the exchange server to have Meraki also but if that happens, no more email on my personal phone then because I won't let them track me. Privacy concerns.
