Change email account from IMAP to MS Exchange
« on: December 16, 2015, 03:32:15 am »
Hi
My club recently changed its internet/email hosting service provider including a move to MS Exchange for emails.  My email address remains the same which is confusing AquaMail.  I have deleted the old IMAP account, but when I create the new exchange account (automatic), which includes the same email address and password, I get an error telling me I have an invalid server response HTTP/1.1 302 Found - Please make sure the data is correct.  If I choose the advanced option using the same settings I get an error Exchange Mail Server Network error hostname in certificate didn't match.

I'm using AquaMail Pro 1.6.0.4 on a Nexus 5 Android 6.0.1.

I have used the Outlook app and it works.

Thanks Bob

There is no "is confusing AquaMail" here, as (im)plausible as it sounds.

Please ask your company's friendly and knowledgeable IT people:

- If the new Exchange server supports something called EWS (Exchange Web Services)

- If so, what the server settings are, specifically for EWS (which are likely to be different from settings for ActiveSync)

PS - EWS and ActiveSync are different ways to connect to Exchange

PPS - If it's Office 365, please use Manual setup and enter outlook.office365.com as the server

PPPS - For the "hostname in certificate error" please change "security type" (in Manual server settings) from "SSL strict" to "SSL accept all"

Kostya

You're a champion.  It seems to be an office 365 account and your PPS worked a treat.

Cheers and thanks

Bob
