Motorola Droid - Exchange Server Questions

[fjhiii]

It is on the device side, once you're in the email icon and in your inbox, hit the list icon (the one between the home and the back button on the bottom), folder icon should be there to let you select which folder you want to sync. Hope that helps.

I do not see the option there, my phone started to sync those folders once i selected a folder. I did not see any options to sync the folders.

How Do I....

Connect my Droid to my company's Exchange 2003 server? Is there a guide somewhere that I'm missing? I went through the Corporate icon and it tells me right there that it's "easy to configure and Exchange account". I enter the information and it comes back with "Unable to open connection to server"

Thanks in advance!

When I try to setup exchange on my phone I get the following

Setup could not finish
This exchange activesync server requires security features you phone does not support.

I'm guessing I'm SOL?

BES stands for Blackberry Enterprise

I have BB from my company. I have BB and Droid with me. They add BES activation password. they gave me password. I can use Droid connect to BES? If not then How do I use my Droid to BES. Thanks for advice

Yes, you are right. The current Droid implementation doesn't support all Activesync policies. If you need it, you can try Touchdown, though it costs $20 if you end up keeping it.

You don't need BES for your Droid. Your Droid will connect directly to the email server. BES is an intermediary between the email server and your BB.

My droid was working with Exchange server before but my company required for BES. How do my droid connect to the email server?

You will need to talk to your IT department. BES is only required for Blackberries, but they may have established a policy that only Blackberries are allowed to connect to the corporate email system for security reasons.

BES is only required for Blackberries

Not only that but only BB's can connect to a BES.

Hi:
I have been using a Samsung I 760 for awhile now. I like the phone but I am getting tired of the freezing and slowness. I am thinking Droid. My question is about syncing or exchanging data from one phone to another. I have always relied on Verizon Sync or backing up to a Sym Card. So I have all my contacts/calendar/tasks on the 760. What is the simplest way to get them on a Droid?

I don't see any Exchange improvements in 2.1... Has anyone heard anything about schedules for adding things like remote wipe? We have many users that want to use the Droid, but we can't support it until it has some of the missing native features, like remote wipe.

(Are these difficult to implement? Compared to what I'm seeing in the 2.1 list, I'd think a remote command hard reset would be easy. )

I'd recommend getting TouchDown - it supports the security requirements that your Exchange Admins have put into effect, remote wipe, and much more.

multiple exchange accounts

as an iphone/ipod user and hating the limited exchange accounts allowed, can someone tell me if a droid can connect to multiple exchange servers? as a consultant to several companies, i need to keep multiple identities... and multiple phones suck...

the dafault app can but it does not sync non-default folders in user mailbox unless they are subset of the inbox.even then sometimes it seems to mis stuff but that may have been fluke on my end.
touchdown syncs all folders but, as far as I can tell, only supports 1 account. I have not messed with the touchdown profiles to see if they can be used in this manner.

When I receive a work e-mail (we have an exhchange server), and read it on my computer, the message is still considered unread on my Droid. Is there any way to change this? I have notifications set to automatic (push).

I am using the native client.

Thanks
