Motorola DROID
I am trying out a MOTOROLA DROID phone from Verizon and configured the default EMAIL application for POP3 against my Exchange 2007 Server. Although it connected (after setting the security to TDS on both the DROID, and updating my Exchange Server Host Connector to check the allow multi-domain TDS checkbox), the application would constantly fail -- when I wasn't actively in the application. A box would continually come up saying the Email App had crapped out and prompted me to "Force Close" it. After reading paulseaone's post (http://www.talkandroid.com/android-forums/htc-smart-mobility/564-connection-error.html), I went to the MARKET application, located, downloaded, and configured K-9. I tried POP3 and IMAP (ultimately settling on IMAP for the convenience of not having duplicate copies of my email on my phone and mail server) -- NO CRASHES! I then had to go into the default EMAIL application and hunt around until I could figure out how to DELETE the POP3 profile that I had created there. Once I got rid of that, NO MORE ANNOYING FORCE CLOSE messages and K-9 working like a CHARM. In fact, I have K-9 setup to connect via IMAP to both my personal Exchange 2007 Server and my Corporate Email which is hosted by Rackspace.
