[itdiscuss] iPhone and Exchange 2003 Active Sync

[Lee, Jason]

We haven't enabled IMAP, we do have a firewall in place and the NATing
of the external DNS points to the exchange server.

When the iphone trys to sync, it just returns a failed connection
error...

You shouldn't need IMAP. Activesync only requires HTTPS. As far as ISA
goes, it's not required, but having a proxy between exchange and the
Internet is a really good idea.
