Background info:  I used to carry two phones, the N95 and the E51.  Before MfE 2.0 came out, MfE was not installable on the N95 (or any N series phones).  So I bought the E51 so that I can use MfE to have my corporate mail pushed to me.  Today, I'm the proud owner of the N97, with MfE 2.9.176 installed.  No more carrying 2 phones, and everything is synchronizing just fine.

Last week, my company announced a new policy regarding mobile devices.  Soon, they will enforce new security policies as available in Exchange 2003 SP2.   This really got me worried, because I spent quite a lot of money in investing in the N97!

We all know that Nokia states that only the E series devices fully support all security policies of Exchange servers.  (Nokia calls this 'provisionable' versus 'non-provisionable' devices.)  But here's the kicker.  In the Mail for Exchange Guide for Administrators (http://nds1.nokia.com/phones/files/guides/MfE_admin_guide_140709.pdf), in chapter 2, section 2, part 1 titled "Are your devices 'provisionable'?", it states the following:

• Eseries devices are provisionable
• Nseries devices previous to S60 3.0 Feature Pack 2 (FP2) are not provisionable
• Nseries devices after S60 3.0 FP2 may be provisionable
• Supported devices not designated Eseries or Nseries may or may not be provisionable.

Well, that is kind of some good news.  But it left out key information regarding my N97, specifically S60 5.0.  Does anyone know if the N97 can be categorized together with those Nseries devices "after 3.0 FP2"?  Or can anyone identify specifically what security policies/features are provisionable in the N97 device?  This is important because I need to make the case with the IT management to put me in the exception list, if at all possible.  But I don't want to stir up anything until I know exactly what can or cannot be done with the N97.  This will be greatly appreciated.  Thank you very much.

Bump...  Please, Nokia developers...  I need this info.  I know that this has been moved to the Messaging part of the Forum by a moderator, but this really needs to be answered by a S60 OS developer, not the MfE developer.  Due to the fact that MfE app itself already supports all Exchange security settings, but it's only a matter of the base OS to return confirmation or accept security requests to MfE via APIs, then to the Exchange server.  (Ideally, this truly need to go back to the S60 side of the Forum.)

Who did you get that version of MFE? i have ver. 2.09.158, and i don't fine the new one, that i had in my nokia 5800!!

Not only is Nokia's myriad of different web sites each requiring its own login credentials, they also have a myriad of places to go get software.  I have always thought that http://www.businesssoftware.nokia.com will have all the latest enterprise software coming from Nokia, but no, that is not the case.  It turns out that http://europe.nokia.com/get-support-and-software/download-software/mail-for-exchange is the place to get the latest version.  Just select your device, and it'll give you the download link for the latest.

Just so you know, even http://www.businesssoftware.nokia.com doesn't have N97 listed as a device yet.

I really hope Nokia takes this consistency issue seriously just like how they're working on the consolidation of logins...

Thanks for your help!

I always download it from nokia business, and, really, the n97 does not appear!!

Doesn't that just annoy with inconsistencies?  Give me a kudos if my post above helped you.  =)
