MS Exchange on Android phones

[mammador]

I have a Samsung phone with Android v. Eclair, and I can't get my work MS Exchange account set up on it.

Has anybody else had this problem?

There are lots of tweaks you can do to make the stock Android email program play well with Exchange, but if this is a business account, do the simple/foolproof thing:

buy Touchdown

Also, if you have a Fascinate, Odin Froyo onto that sucker ASAP.

I've had no issues using the stock froyo mail client on my nook color and thunderbolt.

I am assuming you are sure its not anything server side?

Outlook mobile access should be configured.

The stock 2.2 and 2.3 clients are pretty decent but minimalistic. I don't remember the stock 2.1 client working well with our exchange server.

Like they said above, buy touchdown for $20 and make it easy on yourself. I bought Roadsync ($10) which worked great for me until my company changed exchange servers now I can't get it to sync. Roadsync is a pretty good exchange client for $10 but I'm not sure I'd recommend it at this point since it's completely broken for me on Android 2.3 and Exchange 2010.

Many companies won't allow pre-Froyo devices to synch with Exchange due to missing security features such as remote wipe, enforcing a PIN and maximum idle. Touchdown is the alternative if you're stuck on Eclair.
