Froyo OTA Update broke my Exchange Account!

I received the "official" OTA update last night for my Droid and installed it this morning.  My corporate exchange account worked wonderfully before the installation and has been since I got the phone on it's release date.  After the installation, it's broken.  I've tried deleting the account and re-entering it and just get a message that advises that it's unable to connect to the server. 
I've found that this has happened to many who have used the FRG01B update that VZW rolled out.  Anyone hear of a solution to this problem?  VZW, is there any plan to fix this bug?  I need my email and calendar back!!!  It's part of the reason I got this phone in the first place!

first, let me tell you about my "registering on these forums" experience.  I tried over and over and it would not let me register.  silly little errors like, "your registration cannot be completed, try again later."
Nonetheless, I have seen a few postings about how Froyo hoses Exchange(Corporate)e mail and I wanted to talk about why it is happening.   I was finally able to register from within my myverizon account, I could not do it any other way.  Also, got a page cannot be displayed error when I tried to click the support  site for the community/blog.
Anyway, the solution:
It looks like Froyo is forcing the use of a certificate on your Exchange portal.  It really is that simple.  Your Exchange Admin just needs to put a cert on the portal and then enable SSL.  That is all it takes, then on your phone, select to use SSL and Accept all Certs in the Inbound Accounts settings.  For some reason, corporate mail does not work without SSL, even if you uncheck the box.
Most people won't have this problem since they probably already have a cert on the mailserver portal.

  • Problems with Flash after Froyo OTA update

    Hey all, got the Froyo ota last night, everything went smooth. 
    After testing Flash, I would receive a message stating that Flash was not installed.  If I check 'all' under managed applications I can see that Flash is installed, but still no luck.  I went to the market and downloaded/installed the Flash 10.2 update...still no luck.
    I've done the obvious things already, rebooted/battery pulled phone, uninstalled Flash update, tested again, reinstalled update, tried different browser etc etc but still no luck.  I've checked other threads and forums and doesnt appear other folks are running into this issue....anyone else out there run into this problem at all?  thanks. 

    My friend has the same phone and her flash was working fine after the update... so we compared phones and settings.  Everything was identical, her's worked, mine did not.  Both of our 'enable plug ins' settings in the browser were set to 'off'  - because hers worked i made the assumption that didn't need to be changed.   Apparantly, that was my mistake...
    After reading your reply, I decided just to go ahead and change it anyway.  It's now working.... so not sure why her's works with the plug in set to off and mine didnt, but just happy its working now.  So...thanks for the reply!~   much appreciated...

  • Help....Mail goes crazy after update when using exchange account

    Since I updated to 10.5.5 my exchange account goes haywire regularly. I was able to get it back up the last time it happened by moving to a IP address for my outgoing server, but this time nothing is working. Any suggestions????

    Sry for beeing a bit unclear, still early in the morning :P
    I´d try this:
    go to ~/Library/Prefrence/ delete "com.apple.mail.plist", log out and back in again, launch Mail
    Still dont work?
    Go to Mail Prefrences/Accounts/ delete your account and set it up again

  • 10.4.6 update broke my Exchange certificate?????

    Everything was working fine on my PowerMac G4 dual processor until I installed the 10.4.6 updater that was posted yesterday. Now, when I try to run Entourage 11.2.3, I get an error message that the root certificate does not exist.
    However, when I go into keychain access, I find that the root certificate is, in fact, there. In both instances, keychain access says the certificate is valid, but no matter what I try, Entourage doesn't recognize its validity.
    And this problem is not limited to Entourage. When I try collecting my exchange mail using the web client, Safari says the certificate is not valid. What's worse, I cannot tell it to always allow. No matter whether I check the box to always allow at the top of the certificate display or even go into the individual certificate security settings and set to always allow, every time I run Safari, it notifies me that the certificate is not valid.
    I have already tried repairing permissions (which has gotten very, very quiet since the update to 10.4.6 - no more "we are using special permissions for xxx.widget" over and over again) and repairing through keychain first aid many times. Multiple re-starts has not resolved the issue.
    What did 10.4.6 do to my certificate, and how can I fix it???

    Hello Brad.
    I've not had the courage for 10.4.6 yet, but am on 10.4.5 with Entourage/Exchange. I therefore have no specific result for you other than to say I had a challenge that Entourage constantly telling me that the root certificate wasn't installed... I followed the MS help proceedure of installing the root certificate to no avail. I wasn't until I changed the name of the exchange certifcate in the path of the exchange it was looking for did it no longer complain (in Account prefs of Entourage).
    Specifically:
    if your Exchange is called mailserver.domain.com, but your certificate has a name of exchange.domain.com, then change the path in Entourage to the latter... also remember to change the Public Folder lookup path to exchange.domain.com/Public.
    It occured to me then, that the installation of the root certificate was an irrelevance??
    HTH
    Let me know how you get on, I'll also check some MS sites.

  • Sent items of my exchange account in iphone does not get updated

    Hi..
    sent items of my exchange account in iphone does not get updated. Mails sent from iphone are getting recieved by everyone and same is getting updated in outlook. sent items for the same account in ipad is getting updated. I am not facing this problem with any other folders in my exchange account. someone please provide a solution for this. I have tried resetting, restoring but nothing works...
    Regards,

    Hi,
    The problem could be the currency of the valuation area. It has to be the local currency. Maybe the company code has the local currency but the valuation currency is another.
    Without having access to your system it is difficult to say. Maybe double check your customizing for assignment of update types for derived business transactions in spro:
    Transaction Manager
    -> General Settings
         -> Accounting
             -> Settings for Position Management
                  -> Derived Business Transactions
                      -> Update Types
                          -> Assign Update Types for Derived Business Transactions
    I hope this is helpful.

  • HT2480 just updated to ios 7 and had to change my password on my exchange account, now it will not recognize my new password

    Just updated my iphone 4 to ios 7.01 and had to change my password on my exchange account.  My exchange account will not verify the new password even though they are the same for both laptop and iphone

    Hi,
    It should allow you to change the password in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > your account > Account > Password > Done
    Or you can try to remove your account and add it again in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Add Account > Exchange
    Hope it helps

  • HT1414 Since updating to iso6.0 I have had problems with my email exchange account syncing correctly - I keeps loosing connection with the server.

    Since updating to iso6.0 I have had problems with my email exchange account syncing correctly - I keeps loosing connection with the server.

    Are you losing the connection to iTunes on the iPad or the computer? You are saying that iTunes is updated. Of course iTunes is updated when you update the iOS software. That's a no brainer.
    If you mean that iTunes is updated on the computer, that has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with downloading and updating apps on the iPad itself so changing the date on the iPad, signing in and out of the stores on the iPad .... Doing any of that on the iPad would have nothing to do with iTunes on your computer.
    If .... you have not been able to connect to the iTunes or app stores at all on the iPad - try this ...
    Settings>Privacy>Location Services>System Services (swipe to the bottom of the page to find this)>Location Based iAds>Off.
    If the downloads are stalled or "waiting" - try these suggestions.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
    If you can't connect at all - you can also try rebooting your router. Unplug it from power for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again.

  • HT5928 Ios7 seit dem Update von iOS 6 auf iOS 7 gibt es bei einem Exchange Account den Ordner Entwürfe nicht mehr. Wie mir ein Kollege sagte war es ein Versehen, dass in iOS 5 und iOS 6 der Orner Entwürfe bei einem Exchange Konto angezeigt wurde.

    In IOS 5 und iOS 6 bekomme ich im eingerichteten Exchange Account den Ordner Entwürfe mit Inhalten angezeigt. Seit IOS 7 ist dervOrdner verschwunden. Es kann doch nicht sein, dass Apple schreibt, dass dies mit Exchange 2007 nicht mehr möglich ist. Kann mir bitte jemand sagen, wie ich auch in iOS 7 den Ordner Entwürfe meines Exchange Konto wieder sehen und die darin enthaltenen Mails wieder lesen kann?

    Hallo Sabine !
    Höchst interessant Dein Beitrag. Gilt in Deutschland nicht grundsätzlich die Unschuldsvermutung bis zum Beweis des Gegenteils?
    Die Art und Weise mit der ADOBE hier nach Gottes Gnaden denkt, und meint, man sei das kleine böse Menschlein, läßt mir den Draht aus der Mütze springen. Ein Unternehmer muß bereit sein, Risiko zu tragen. Das gilt auch für ADOBE.
    Da sollte man ja grundsätzlich gewappnet sein, und zukünftig bei einem Anruf zunächst ertmal das Einverständnis für die Aufzeichnung des Telefonates beim Customer Support einholen, und wenn dann wieder derartige Ungheuerlichkeiten geäußert werden, sofort, ohne jede Umschweife und ohne jede Vorankündigung den Klageweg beschreiten. (Klage auf Unterlassung; üble Nachrede etc.)
    Sabine - derartige Anwürfe wie Du sie erleben mußtest, würde ich keinesfalls auf mir sitzen lassen. Und wenn der Support in Schottland oder was weiß ich nicht wo die sitzen nicht in der Lage ist seine eigenen Programe zu bedienen, dann darf zu keiner Zeit zu Lasten eines Kunden gehen.

  • How can I create subfolders in Mac Mail for an Exchange account?

    I use Mac Mail on OS X 10.8.4 to download my Exchange mail, which is hosted on Office 365.
    I can create folders inside existing subfolders in my Inbox, but if I try to create one as a first-level subfolder of the Inbox the option does not exist. Instead, it creates another top level folder and puts it at the bottom of the folder list, not inside the Inbox.
    Can anyone tell me how to add a normal subfolder to my Inbox?

    Exchange Basics
    The Inbox syncs more frequently than any other and should be kept as clean as possible. (this is the number one cause of problems with sync). Do NOT make subfolders under the Inbox.
    Exchange checks the server for updates every minute, any folder that has updates will subsequently be synced. Since Exhange has a limit on how many folders can be synced at a time, there can be a queue of folders waiting. The Inbox does get high priority so it will generally sync before other folders that also need to sync.
    Keep your folders under the 2GB limit. That's approx 6-10K messages per folder (does not include subfolders) Outlook does not export folders over 2GB as .mbox files
    Exchange  Header
    Inbox
      Folder A  <---this is wrong
    Drafts
    Deleted Items folder
    Junk
    Folder A  <-- this is correct
    It's best to move folders using your web interface (OWA) but you can drag in Outlook and/or Mail.
    In Browser via OWA
    Because of the massive changes the process is best done in your browser. I would also put Mail into work offline mode during this process. After all is moved on the server via the browser, I would delete the Exchange account and let it all download correctly from the server.

  • Entourage (Exchange) Account Problem - New messages going to wrong Inbox

    In Entourage, there are two sets of Inboxes (folders): one for the Exchange account and the other for "Folders on My Computer"
    We desire new messages to deliver & stay in the Inbox for the Exchange account; however, recently new mail messages are delivered to the Inbox under "Folders on My Computer." How can I change this... manage which Inbox new mail messages go to for the Exchange account?

  • "The Connection to Microsoft Exchange is unavailable" when adding second Exchange account to Outlook 2013

    I have a problem that I've found to be typical, just haven't found anything that describes my exact problem.
    I'm having trouble adding a second Exchange 2010 server account to Outlook 2013 in one of the computers of the domain. Outlook 2013 will complain with "The Connection to Microsoft Exchange is unavailable. Outlook must be online or connected to complete
    this action".
    I've Googled and found many threads with the same error... however most of those seem to be either a problem with the server, or the Global Catalog in Active Directory, or the "connection method" (I've tried all found solutions to no avail).
    This is not the case, since the first account is added with absolutely no problem. It can send and receive and I can delete the outlook profile and recreate it and it'll give no problems. I have this problem only when adding a second account.
    This is a fresh Windows 8.1 install with an up-to-date Outlook 2013. I have other computers in the same domain and network, with the same setup (Win 8.1 + Outlook 2013) configured with two exchange accounts with no problem.
    There are no connectivity problems, I can access that same account through OWA and in other computers on the network... the Global Catalog seems to be fine (shows two active DCs, which is correct).
    I've tried deleting and recreating the outlook profiles, repairing the outlook installation, even deleting all outlook files in AppData and letting it recreate them, with no success.
    Any hints of what could be going on?
    Before I speak, I have something important to say.

    Hi Javier,
    Thank you for the update.
    I have tested on my lab and get following result.
    Lab: Exchange 2010, CAS Array (CAS01+CAS02), MBX01, DC
    Type Server Field
    Check name result
    Changed Server Field
    CAS01.domain.com
    Yes
    CASArray.domain.com
    CASArray.domain.com
    Yes
    CASArray.domain.com
    DC.domain.com
    Yes
    CASArray.domain.com
    MBX01.domain.com
    No
    "The Connection to Microsoft Exchange is unavailable"
    Based on my knowledge, the reason why inputing DC FQDN in the Server Field fixes this issue is that Outlook performs AD Lookup and finds the account configuration from AD, then back the CAS Array FQDN in the Server Field  instead of DC FQDN.
    Exchange 2010 is different from Exchange 2013, if you are using Exchange 2013, we need to input MailboxServerGUID.domain.com into Server Field.
    If there is anything I’ve misunderstood, please don’t hesitate to let me know.

  • How do I subscribe to an Exchange account on iCloud?

    I have set up an Exchange account on my iPhone and MPB. The email shows up in Mail on both iPhone and my MBP. My schedule shows up in iCal on the MPB and in Calendar on the iPhone. If I use the web to go to iCloud, I can only get my .Mac mail and my personal iCal schedule. Is there a way to get my Exchange mail and calendar sent to the Cloud? I have a work around for the calendar by exporting my Exchange calendar, then reimporting it into another calendar I created in iCal. It will then show up in the Cloud on the web. I have to manually update it any time there are new schedule events or changes to the original. Any idea how I can have my mail and calendar from work go to the Cloud as well so that I can check them both from any computer if I am away from my computer and/or phone?

    Is there a way to get my Exchange mail and calendar sent to the Cloud?
    No. Exchange and iCloud are two independent calendar systems and iCloud is not designed to interact with Exchange.
    For email, you may be able to configure your Exchange account to forward emails to your iCloud email address.

  • Setting up exchange calendar on iCal for existing exchange account

    I already had my exchange email setup in Mail (which is working exactly as before), so there was no Mail setup so it didn't run (I'm guessing) the auto setup for calendar and address book to make use of the new integration. So how do I do that without disturbing my existing Mail setup? I don't see anything in iCal in add-calendar that allows you to specify that its on an exchange server. Likewise for address book.
    Of course maybe this did run and our exchange server does not have auto-discovery on or is not 2007 (I'm looking into that as well).
    -jrg

    Yes clock/date is correct (via ntp).
    Mail was already setup for me since this was an update from 10.5 . I don't recall that the setup thing did any sort of "welcome to mail" thing as it was already setup, and I wouldn't want to create a new account anyway. I want it to run auto-discovery( (for address book and calendar) on my existing mail (exchange) account.

  • N9 after PR 1.2 update - Mail for Exchange is sync...

    I have a problem with my N9 Meego after 1.2 update. I have mail for exchange account talking with exchange 2010 server and sync works just just fine with calendar and e-mail. Contacts on otherhand doens`t work. It says its bringing contact like 78 from mail for exchange but when its done you can`t see any.
    i have done my account again many times but still contacts aren`t working. Should I do some hardreset but does that uninstall PR 1.2 update?
    Help is needed or any ideas what could be done?
    -mika

    Hey mate,  As far as I am aware there is no going back from PR 1.2, so you could try hardreset without concern of loosing this update.  Keep in mind you are likely to lose data, so make sure you back it up first.
    I am sure of this, as I have tried to go back to PR 1.1 to get my mail exchange to work and even with trying to flash the device "downgrade disallowed" comes up and prevents me getting rid of the PR 1.2
    You are luckier than me, I can't get mail, calender or contacts.  I am so annoyed that I accepted the update.  I am hoping that Nokia take note of this and fix the mail exchange in a new update
