Simon Bisson's SPV C600 is "a lovely little phone, and it looks like it will quickly become my regular hand-held device. However, the usual fly in the ointment appeared when I tried to connect it to my mail server using Exchange ActiveSync."
It wouldn't work. The phone refused to accept his server's perfectly valid security certificate and the standard trick of running Small Business Server 2003's sbsmobconfig.exe to load the server certificate on the phone didn't work - Orange's default setting for their Windows Mobile 5 devices locks down the certificate store, and the server certificate can't be loaded.
So software developer Bisson set about solving the problem caused by Orange's hyper-cautious approach. With permission, here's how to solve the problem, step by step:
Exchange ActiveSync should now work.
