Mail for Exchange and SSL certificate

I have a little problem with Mail For Exchange and my Nokia N80. I have self-signed certificate for Exchange mailserver and when I am synchronizing e-mails I got always message: "The site has sent an untrusted certificate. Continue anyway ?". I underestand that my certificate isn't verified by any root authority, but if I have synchronization schedule set at 15 minutes it means I have to confirm this message four times when I am not with my mobile one hour. So question is:
Is possible to import self-signed SSL certificate into Nokia N80 and set it as trusted ? If yes, please describe me how, because I have tried import the certificate as CER (it was opened just as NOTE on Nokia), I tried to convert it via openssl to PEM (the file was not recognized) etc... Thanks for any help in advance.

Go to your outlook web access website and click on the lock and then view certificate. The details and then you can save it in DER format to your desktop.
Then go to this site:
http://www.redelijkheid.com/symcaimport/ and insert through the browse button and then copy the link to your phone.
Then you should be able to download it
You can also go to your IIS default site on the exchange server and directory security and export your certificate under edit certificate.
I have tried everything now. I can download my certificate and the valicert from GoDaddy, but the Nokia phone is still saying "do you trust this certificate" every time the phone syncs.
Our firm have taken the E-phones away now and went over to windows mobile and all of them worked within 10 minutes without any errors.
The funny thing is that when you try to call nokia, they wont help you with Mail for Exchange, and it is there program
I know my GoDaddy certificate works on windows mobile phones, so It must be something with Mail for Exchange.
Every guy I talked to about symbian phones have told me they always gives problems with SSL. I am a bit **bleep**, but can conclude that Nokia is for the private consumer.

  • Re: Mail for Exchange and SSL certificate

    I think this is what you need to do
    1. go to the page from where you have to install certificate
    2.You will see lock symbol at the right hand side of the page, click on it and save it on your desktop PC by going to details page
    3. Open Nokia PC Suite --> FileManager and trasnfer the certificate from your PC to FileManager
    4. Click on the certificate inside FileManager and install it, while installing allow it to choose its place automatically
    Then try synchronising your mail, you ill receive it for the first time when you connect then it wont ask you for that again till you connect next time.
    Hope this helps

    Here's how I got my Nokia to accept the certificate as trusted. It may not work for everybody but it worked for me and after the past week of messing about I am truly grateful for that...
    Basically, I uninstalled then reinstalled Certificate Services through add/remove programs. I then followed the advice on this site (below), but only as far as requesting a cert through IIS Manager.
    http://www.msexchange.org/tutorials/SSL_Enabling_OWA_2003.html
    I followed the advice until this section (mainly because it wouldn't allow me to request a cert through IE on the server...)..
    "Getting the Pending Request accepted by our Certificate Authority"
    I then opened "certification authority" on the server (through administrative tools) and right clicked the cert authority which will have the same name as the cert you had just requested and selected properties. In my case, something like mail.mydomain.co.uk...
    Under the General Tab I highlighted "certificate#0" in the CA Certificates box and clicked "view certificates".
    This opens the cert and I then clicked the "details" tab and saved the cert to a location using the "copy to file" button.
    Using the wizard I selected the first option "DER encoded binary x509(.cer) gave it a friendly name, saved it somewhere handy and closed the wizard.
    I then copied the file onto a pc with the Nokia PC Suite installed and copied it to the documents folder (although any one will do). I guess you could bluetooth or email the cert as well..
    I then browsed to it on the phone, clicked on it and it let me save it automatically into the certs folder. I restarted the phone, checked SSL was on and bingo the certificate was trusted and remains working today... You might have to delete an existing cert if you already have one installed as it won't let you overwrite it..
    As I say, I can't say this will work for anybody else as I have probably fiddled around with the server so much it has gone west in some respects, but it works for me and that'll do for now...

  • Mail for Exchange and certificate authentication -...

    Okey, it works on Windows Mobile browser starting 2003 and Blackberry browser since 2007.
    It's not working on these fancy linuxes (moo-boo or moeba or what it's name?)- but well, what else you can expect from poorly tested code with no compatibility or standards in mind?
    I wonder what stopping Symbian to proper support certificates standarts, while they finally manage to support ActiveSync specification. Lazy programmers?  Are they steal too much code from open source?
    Nokia, your devices will never suceed, if you keep making ovi-style "features" instead of things people need to work better. We pay for you phones,  do you remember that?

  • Mail for Exchange and alphanumeric lock code

    I have N82 and installed MFE 3.0 version. My company runs Exchange Active Server  2003 and needs an alphanumeric lock code for phone which is not available on N82.  
    Are there ways to enable alphanumeric phone autolock on Nseries? or is this a serious limitation for all Nseries devices? Because i found 5800 XM and N97mini which support this feature.

  • Mail for Exchange and missing emails

    Hi,
    We have a problem with out Mail for Exchange mobile synhronization. All the mails are received in Outlook (Exchange Server) but in MfE some emails are missing. The missing emails are randomly selected inside or outside organization emails. Let's say few emails per day are totally missing inf MfE. What could be the problem?

  • Nokia 5800 - 'Mail for Exchange' and 'Nokia mail'....

    Ok may be a silly question but while looking through my 'installed apps' on my 5800, since i was thinking of 'clearing some stuff out' to make that little bit more memory on the phone (Currently I'm ~ 3/4 full)
    I noticed that although MOST of them (games etc) are already on my memory card there's a few stuck on the phone.
    Many I guess can't be removed (such as 'Symbian OS' stuff, 'OVI Maps' or other 'OVI Store' stuff) but what about programs that seem to be 'duplicates' (i.e. seem to do the same thing) ??
    Why should I have 2 'Map' programs or 2 'Email' program etc ??
    In particular - why should I need to have 'Mail for Exchange' AND 'Nokia Mail' installed at the same time. Both are ~ 1Mb each and both seem to be related to 'Getting Emails onto the phone'
    Can't I just stick to one one them - say 'Nokia Mail' & remove 'Mail for Exchange' ??
    Doinf so will only free up 1Mb of phone memory, but it'll help - or does one program rely on the other ??
    Thanks in advance
    P.S. I've just noticed there's a couple of other programs 'In Phone memory' that seem suspicious.
    One is called 'Chinese Lion (164Kb Supplier: QTEL) and the other is called 'Diamonds' (102kb Supplier: WANGP) - anyone know what these are ??
    Motto: Illegitimis non carborundum

    Most users don't need both, but each has a different purpose which is why both are offered. Nokia Messaging is Nokia's in-house push mail service available for all consumers (currently it requires a certain type of operator subscription, but I understand that is about to change so that it is open to all). Mail for Exchange is primarily for business users whose company uses Microsoft Exchange for corporate mail.
    Likewise, you don't need to Maps apps - GPS-equipped phones always have Nokia/Ovi Maps preisntalled, unless youe phone is an operator-variant from a network which has its own GPS service or you bought the phone second-hand from somebody else, I don't see why it would have another similar application.
    For general memory management, this post which I made in reply to another user with memory issues may help:
    /t5/Nseries-and-S60-Smartphones/Maybe-I-m-a-bit-dense/m-p/872103#M247791

  • E72 Mail for Exchange and Hotmail

    Guys,
    I am new to the nokia family and I just acquired teh E-72, though it gives me some headache, I am not willing to give up on it just yet.
    When I set up my work email account (mail for exchange) and my personal (hotmail), it works fine, but I have noticed that if I read any message on my phone it marks as read on my computer, if I deleted any message, it deletes on the computer; this happens for both accounts (business and hotmail). Is this normal? I know that on a blackberry you have the option to sync everything you do on it with the computer/server, but you also have the option not to sync, therefore, anything you do on it will not reflect on your the computer/server. Is there such an option on the E72?

    Are you sure Hotmail marks your emails as read when you read them from your e72? I dont think so since hotmail is pop3 not imap.
    About mail for exchange, that the whole point to sync your mailbox on the fly. Try after you read a message to mark it as unread.

  • Mail for Exchange and the dreaded 500 error!

    Hi
    I've recently got myself a Nokia 5800 and have been trying to get Mail for Exchange working for the past week and a half.
    I've read and actioned almost every suggestion that I can find on the web but still no joy!
    The jist of the problem is as follows:-
    1. I created my profile which uses a secure connection and attempted to sync but no joy
    2. I downloaded the SSL certificate from our OWA server (provided by Equifax to my phone), tried again, still no joy.
    3. Next I downloaded a PDA emulator and configured activesync on it, after downloading and installing the certificate Activsync worked fine.
    4.  I can access Outlook Web access and OMA fine.
    5.  One of my colleagues has a Sony Ericson K700 phone and he has managed to get activesync working fine.
    Becuase of the above I'm thinking that there are certain issues with the Nokia 5800 and Mail for exchange in an SSL environment. 
    I've had a scan through the logs on our OWA mail server but there are none that even indicate that my phone is getting to the server.
    I work in an IT team so consider myselft as reasonably technically astute.
    Here's the logfile from the phone.
    21/07/2009 9:43:01 Profile Updated

    I'm not sure whether this is relevant or not but when I got activesync working on the PDA emulator I noticed this error in the application log of the exchange server.
    Unexpected Exchange mailbox Server error: Server: [mailboxserver.domain.co.uk] User: [[email protected]] HTTP status code: [409]. Verify that the Exchange mailbox Server is working correctly.

  • N97 - Mail for Exchange self signed certificate

    I would like to use my N97 for sychronizing my nokia with my office e-mails (MfE 2003). Sync keeps on failing. I assume that my n97 does not accept the self-signed certificate we are using (unlike the iPhone and any other HTC or Windows mobile based device). I tried to install the certificate on my nokia - however all versions offered for conversion by my internet explorer are not recognized as a certificate by the n97 (either unkown format or just displayed as text).
    Can anyone help? (I am afraid I have to deal with our self-signed certificate - so there is no chance to approach the problem from that end)
    Many thanks!

    I am also having the exact same problem.  My company uses Exchange Server 2003, but I cannot get the Nokia N97 to sync using Mail for Exchange.  I too am guessing that it might be related to the fact that we are using a self signed certificate.
    When the sync failed, I tried to browse to our web exchange access on the N97 web browser, but that wouldn't work either (I have successfully been able to do this on a Sony Ericsson C905 and a BlackBerry Pearl, but the Nokie N97 says it is unable to perform the operation).
    Can anyone confirm if the issue is in fact the self signed certificate, or make any other suggestions?  I do not want to push my company down the path of getting the certificate signed if it's not going to solve the problem.
    Thanks!

  • Mail For Exchange and Blackberry Connect

    Hello.
    I was a happy user of E61 with latest software update (3.x...) and had both BlackBerry Connect & Mail For Exchange installed.
    I got my phone replace due to a hardware error with a new device but there's no way now to install both tools on the device.
    Once the first one is installed (no matter which one), the other one dies on install with a cryptic "Update error". No other explanation given. Of course, resetting the phone and reinstalling the software other software works but now the first one exhibits the same behavior.
    Anyone had any success in this area?
    PS: The main reason I need both is that "Mail For Exchange" reads only my INBOX.

    Update:
    after two weeks of boggling, it seems that this combination works:
    - install MailForExchange(2.7.0)_S60_3_0.SISX
    - remove MailForExchange(2.7.0)_S60_3_0.SISX
    - install S60PR2_BlackBerry(6.28.1)_2.SISX first
    - install MailForExchange(2.7.0)_S60_3_0.SISX
    But this effectivly kills Blackberry as you only get a "RimAv" icon in the menu

  • E72, Mail for Exchange and Cyrillic letters issue

    Dear all
    does anybody have solution for following issue:
    Mail for Exchange on E72 connected to Exchange 2007 server. Everything working fine (no problem to see Cyrillic letters in mails in both text and HTML mofe, when you writing new e-mail on cyrillic - no problems as well - BUT
    - when you are trying to reply to message with Win 1251 or KOI8-R encoding recipient has wrong codepage and message looks like ??????????? 
    could somebody help on this?
    thanks
    Vladimir 

    Zdrastvujte Vladimir,
    this problem is most likely linked to the MS Exchange and not to  E72. We have the same problem with emails at work when emails sent using MS Exchange through a normal PC. Somehow it replaces Cyrillic with question marks. I never found out the reason for this. This only happens when an English version of MS Exchange is used ( i.e. a non-localised version).

  • N8: Mail for exchange and changing server name?

    Hello,
    I did setup company mail for my new N8 using mail for exchange. I entered email address and username and phone automatically discovered company mail server name. I would like to change that server information but I can't. If I go mail for exchange properties I can't edit server name?! How can I manually set up server name?

    Hi,
    I had the same Problem with my N8. The only solution was to delete "Mail for Exchange" profile on the device. After that all contacts, calendar entries and mails wehre deleted.
    Now you start from scratch... and create a new Mail for Exchange Profile with the correct settings.
    Maybe It's a Problem with your company Mailserver (Active Sync/ Autodiscover) Setup. In my case the autodiscover Funktion ist not correct configured on the mailserver. During Mail for Exchange configuration I will be asked for the correct mailservername. I'm not shure what happend if the autodiscovery function is properly set up. Maybe you will never see a dialog to put in your Servername.

Maybe you are looking for
