I added an exchange account to my one yesterday, to ARHD 3.0 with no modded Exchange - I was not prompted to add additional security at all.
Would you normally be prompted? My exchange account is through my employer and security is enabled. I'm on ARHD as well but it prompted me for a PIN. After flashing the patch it did not.

Anyone having issues? I flashed, wiped cache, and app data and get force close when trying to open the app. Someone have the original mail apk so I can at least get it working? Only thing I've flashed is the system writable and swipe to screen off mod.

Did you try to clear the data and cache from the app? Go to Settings > Apps and clear the data and cache from Mail and then reboot and see if that works.

I deleted all my accounts from Mail before I went and flashed the ZIP and it worked fine.

I tried that. I ended up factory resetting and that worked. I think it was the HTC backup restoring accounts that messed it up. Sorry to clog the thread with some bs.

As somebody that works in Infosec this disturbs me. Please be aware that if you install this, and your company suffers and Unauthorized Disclosure or Breach that was caused by you bypassing controls will probably result in your termination.

I think a-lot of companies are catching on and requiring MDM software to be installed on your phone. My employer started requiring AirWatch. At that point I decided to accept a company iPhone :eek: as I didn't want them having that much control over my personal device.

I've talked to the exchange administrator and he told me they do not have any security setting enabled on the server side. This is a known bug in the Android email app that it requires a pin regardless of the server settings.

Yeah. It may be a bug that requires it no matter what. But, I know we enforce a pin and encryption which makes flashing a pain. Just want people to be aware there are consequences to using this. :D

Can you get root and/or custom roms if you have encryption on for exchange purposes?

Sure. I'm rooted and have run ROMs while encrypted. It is more difficult to flash as you cannot access encrypted storage from Recovery. Most flashing has to be done via adb sideload.

Many Companies will not only enforce the encryption and PIN but will also block rooted phones.

I wish it has the feature like DroidMail app which does not ask the email administrator to approve the device.

Funny that you mentioned that. I used to work at AirWatch (Almost 3 years).

I'm having problems with the mail app using ART enabled on insert coin 3.0.3, suspect this may be the cause... Ideas anyone?
