Caution: WM6/6.1 ROM does not Sync with Exchange SSL

[mrzts]

The WM6 / 6.1 ROM available online will not allow syncing of mail, contacts, calendar, etc with Exchange SSL. Seems to be related to installed certificates / security config of ROM.

So if these things are important to you (this is the main reason I have a PDA), you should consider waiting for a Gene WM6 that does not have this serious shortcoming.

I wasted a lot of time trying to get this release to work - so have other people. It is only fair that persons downloading this ROM know about this problem before they also waste their time.

Still getting activesync error 80072F06.

So, there's no way to work around this? I just bought a brand-new HTC Touch Cruise and the preinstalled ROM is having this SSL certificate issue, so I can't synchronize. Downgrading is not an option for me, since there are no older ROMs available for this model.

What to do? :mad:

Upgraded my Typhoon 2003SE to WM6.1, but I seriously lacks the Exchange Sync .

Anyone with a solution that works for Typhoon?

I have actually tried all the 6.1 ROMS and none of them sync with Exchange Server over a secured link.
No problem when I revert to WM5.

The problem seemed to be related to IMAP for us. Here is what we did:

- Enable the MS Exchange IMAP service (we had disabled it)

- In Exchange System Manager, under the server in Protocols, go into "IMAP4" properties, and in the Access tab click the Certifcate... button and add in the same certificate that is configured for the HTTPS website.

- Open port 993 (IMAP4 SSL) in our firewall to our Exchange server.

We don't know what combination of the 3 is the actual fix, but we know that WM6.1 Exchange email items were failing miserably to sync before, and now they are syncing again.
