Re: Mail for Exchange (MfE). Blame me here, pls
Inspired by this thread I decided to give MfE a shot at last.
...well, I get all sorts of timeouts etc...I had to wipe the calendar first, and then the show-stopper. ...it kept messing up my contact's work and home emails. I have each contact with Mobile (Home) and Mobile(Work) etc, and it'd do things like turn both mobile numbers into "Work" and "Mobile", but both containing the work number, erasing the home one. ...I then noticed after a few days I had 6-7 of each contact. Had to spend several hours (even with the find duplicates plugin!) merging them all back together. Not cool. Annoying enough, in fact to make me glance at the open source MfE project with a view to pulling that in as a CSSU replacement...but then I remembered how many things I already have on my TODO list ;) |

Also I want to point out a warning finger on Hermes. Hermes have serveral times messed up the contact sync for me. Last time all contacts I added photos on was deleted from my hotmail-account. Nowdays I only add photos on my contacts manually, this doesnot mess up thing sofar. |

Hi, for those using Mail For Exchange to gmail / m.google.com on their N900.
I recently started receiving the message "Error in communication with exchange server" when syncing MforE (calendar only in my case). Removing N900 calendar entries and running a full resync normally resolves this, but it the full resync failed with the same error as above. Removing the MforE connection and running the MforE connection Wizard also failed with the same error on the page where you enter m.google.com and 443 port. Following the instructions to modify dnsmasq.conf resolved this issue. i.e. 1. Launch X terminal 2. sudo gainroot 3. cd / 4. cd /etc 5. echo "address=/m.google.com/173.194.67.193" >> /etc/dnsmasq.conf 6. exit 7. reboot N900 |

Guys, could you please try "FB fix" i.e. install libcurl3 from extras-devel and report if it solves the problem for you. Disable dnsmasq.conf workaround first of course :)

Re: Mail for Exchange (MfE). Blame me here, pls

Fantastic - MFE just started messing up and not syncing - found this, installed libcurl3 update - and it works.
Thanks! |
Re: Mail for Exchange (MfE). Blame me here, pls
Hi all,
Just to confirm the Libcurl3 update works on MforE to m.google.com after backing out the dnsmasq.conf work-around. (reboot N900 after each step). For people not clear of the process: Libcurl3 is from extras-dev so you have to enable the Extras Devel catalogue in application manager first (you can disable afterwards): Navigate to the application menu (tap the title bar) Select ‘Application catalogs’ Select ‘New’ Enter a catalog name of ‘Maemo extras-devel’ Enter a web address of http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel/ Enter a distribution of ‘fremantle’ Enter components of ‘free non-free’ Select ‘Save’ To apply the libcurl3 update: Launch X terminal sudo gainroot apt-get install libcurl3 exit exit Reboot N900 Finally, many thanks to those commited developers providing us mere mortals with solutions. |

I would like to ask 2 things: 1) During the installation recommended package "ca-certificates". Should I install it too? (do not know if you have to do, but my n900 has several certificates are not valid in "Settings" -> "Certificate Manager". Also My date / time are correct) 2) The file "/ etc / dnsmasq.conf" is not empty. You need to empty it manually? Thank you very much |
