Found my answer...WTF Microsoft???
This is a known issue with Entourage 2004 and 2008 and has not been
resolved. Have a look at this KB article on Microsoft's website
<http://support.microsoft.com/kb/926521>.

EDIT: I see you already found the answer for yourself. Good job.
Got a similar question.... I have configured my univ email in outlook along with gmail .... Will i be charged for a corporate plan or extra msg charges ... I'm unclear abt it
I will assume the Rules Routing happens on the Exchange Server and not in your Outlook Client. This is similiar to what I am doing with Yahoo Push Email (Server based Rules). Your problem is the same that I am having with Yahoo in that Push only works for email that is in the InBox. I have to manually Sync the other folders. I was hoping with Exchange and MobileMe that this problem would be resolved. Or at least have InBox Rules in the iPhone Mail Client.
I have many sub-folders so this is a real problem for me. Are any more of you having this problem and have you found a better way to handle this?
i havent managed to get it to work and its making me very sad
My account verifies. It says that it can not authenticate the certificate, but even if i go back into the account, disable SSL, it doesnt sync. What am I doing wrong?
Does anyone want to come to my office and fix this for me? Please

I am thinking of making the switch from my blackberry, and was wondering about the following:
The blackberry allows me to delete email on the handheld only leaving them in my inbox in outlook. Does the iPhone have a setting for that? I only like to see a days worth of mail on my mobile devices, and leave them in outlook.
Second, how does the sync work? Am I understanding correctly that if I make a change to my calendar or contacts on outlook that it will autimatically push to the iphone? Does it work the other way too - iphone change is updated on the outlook?
thanks.

It's a true sync (hence the name ActiveSync). Any changes on one device (yes, calendar and contacts as well as mail) are automatically replicated on the other. In terms of only viewing one day at a time, there is a configurable setting within the iPhone 2.0 software to specify the time period to sync - 1 day is one of the options. You will only see the emails on your iPhone from the past 24 hours.
It is very seamless and to Microsoft's credit, works very well.
I had the same question as the original post regarding "deleting" on the iPhone but not "deleting" on the Server. You did not directly answer that part. You did answer the 1 day option, but not the delete option. Is there no option to delete the entry on the iPhone but leave the email on the server. This is a option of the BB that I believe is extremely useful.
Thanks,
I've had Exchange set up and running fine on my iPhone since launch day. Yesterday, however, I was having problems getting push email to work. I was at work in training all day and playing around with it. It seems email would only update when I went into the app. I was testing it by sending email to myself from the PC I was at and also from my gMail. I was trying both WiFi on and off but it didn't seem to make a difference. I'm not sure what the issue was. Push has been working fine up until then and even after. I'm sitting at home right now and push is working fine. I'm thinking it might be something with the network signals in the room I was in. Seems like it kept bouncing between WiFi and 3G and Edge and the signal strength was fluctuating too. I didn't have any problems using Safari though.
Where and how do you install the necessary certificates? I think thats the problem I'm having. The account verifies, but doesn't authenticate the certificate. When it goes to the next stage it says something about syncing to null.
I'd be so grateful if someone could help me on this. We're a small company with limited IT knowledge! Need all the help I can get!

For our exchange server we have a trusted root certificate that we usually install on the win mobile phones. I did not install it on either of the 2 iPhones and the both are authenticated and syncing properly with the exchange server. What version of exchange are you running? I am currently running Exchange 2007 SP1
Actually there are two flaws with the Exchange implementation
Currently the iPhone cannot schedule a meeting with attendees from it's calendar. This really torpedoes the usefulness for managers.
Nor can it reply in response to a pushed invite, but I suppose you should be able to reply to the accompanying email.

I am having the exact same problem. Let me know if you find a solution please.
That may be part of the problem, however, I can't say for sure. I know that iPhone's can use the auto discover feature of 2007 SP1 for ease of set up.
On the documentation it says that it supports Exchange Server 2003 SP2.
I know that port 443 is open and IMAP enabled. But the next part:
On the Front-End Server, verify that a server certificate is installed and enable SSL for the Exchange ActiveSync virtual directory (require basic SSL authentication).
I have the certificate, how do i check it's installed?
I cannot switch from my BB to iPhone until the Exchange support provides for the following:
1. Ability to Search and/or Filter Emails
2. Ability to Invite attendees to Calendar appointments that i create
3. Copy & Paste added to OS
These are pretty much showstoppers for corporate BB users. Its amazing that the beta users did not indicate these issues/limitations are critical usability features that need to be incorporated before the iPhone can effectively be used in a corporate environment.

Those are very important features and I hope to see them at some point in the not too distant future. I still love my iPhone, but definitely miss those 3 things.
same here, i run exchange at home and already have 2 users on firmware2.0 using push beautifully in addition to me waiting for jailbreak for mine.
it's the most sensible thing apple have done in a while.
If I had the ability to get Exchange ActiveSync working by remote control, I could make a small fortune.i havent managed to get it to work

I've already set up a number of Exchange Servers to allow ActiveSync and I've got it down to about an hour or so.Look here for some important links that I use when configuring servers:

my setup is the same as yours. when i setup the push email it said this
Unable to varify certificate
the certificate from "servername.domain.com" for account "." could not be varified
accept/cancel
i selected accept and away you go. i do know that the name on the certificate matched the FQDN for the mail server
Thank you to everyone who has helped me out! Exchange working! wohoo!

Wow, I'm going nuts here. I've probably logged 20 hours here. I've done everything listed. Checked and rechecked. Can someone please assist me? If someone is willing to log in to my server and can get it running?
I've listed what we are running. And the setting that are currently running for WinMo devices to connect.
I have a SSL installed from GoDaddy. Everything looks perfect.
