In version 3.0 or above.
I found that if you accept the meeting request in iPhone. You will use other person to accept. That’s ( A on behalf of You).

This is a big bug in iPhone.

Sometimes. iPhone may not update the update meeting request into calender……

You can sync Tasks and Notes with Exchange 2007 using iExchange, it’s an application you can find in App Store.

@ gregr: I know this doesn’t pertain to iPhone but you mentioned BlackBerry sync. BlackBerry DOES synchronize contacts (as well as just about everything) wirelessly and has done this for quite some time. Contacts, app configurations, memos, tasks, messages, calendar entries, etc are all synchronized wirelessly unless disabled by the company’s BlackBerry administrator.

Everything was syncing beautiful, my Exchange server corporate email acct and my contacts from the day I connected my iphone last month. The problems started with the new update a couple of weeks ago. Since the update, I friggin can’t get all of my Outlook contacts to sync correctly. I had all 1,500+ contacts and now I can only sync about 500 of my contacts. I did a restore/sync reset today & now I can’t get my exchange server to connect :(. MAC…you’re losing me!!

J.P. – the gating factor is whether your IT guys will enable IMAP on your Exchange server, and expose the necessary ports through your firewall. Once that is done, it works for me…

gregr: i bought i phone day one. I have had the Iphone since day one, love it. However, I still have been unsuccessful in setting up my corporate email. We run MS Exchange server 2003 and Windows XP.

I have heard so much back and forth about YES, it’s compatible, and NO, Apple made sure it wouldn’t work.

However, all over google there’s posts and blogs about folks getting it to work, your blog being one of those that are PRO ES:

Point being, if anyone has actually done this, I will buy them a plane ticket to sunny South Florida to hook me up…

Anyone?

>>(unlike Blackberry, which will only sync calendar wirelessly, not contacts)<<

This is not correct. Blackberry syncs both Calender & Contacts wirelessly, certainly does with MS Exchange.

Ryan – you need to map your “sent”, “deleted”, etc folders on the iphone to be the appropriate server folders on Exchange; you do this from the iphone mail setup somewhere. If you google, you’ll find detailed instructions how to do all that.
