Hi

Our company has resently renewed our external certifcate for Exchange active sync. The certificate is SHA2 signed.

From that day Nokia C5,E71 and E72 models stopped syncing.

I belive that it has to do with the SHA2 signing algoritm, and I just want to get that confirmed or confirmation that it isn´t that that causes the communication issues.

Thanks in advance

    It's a pity that there is no solution

    Nevertheless thank you Abi!

    Regarding other email providers, I think this problem requires complex solution, preferably from Microsoft(Nokia), instead of local fixing which is likely temporary.

    Regards,

    I am sorry, I do not understand yet. In you case, if not just Gmail but other E-mail providers fail, please, say so. Then, I have a look whether it is the same cause (SHA-2) or another issue which might be just a configuration issue.

    I am using a Nokia E71 to access a Gmail account using the profimail client.  It has stopped working as of a couple of days ago.  I assume it is the problem mentioned about.

    The Nokia software updater says my phone is up to date so I am unsure if there is anything else I can do.  As per the suggestions above - how do I go about up updating my E71 to Symbian/S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack 2 or newer, like the Nokia E72 or Nokia E6;?  It is not even clear if the E71 could accept such an update?

    Yes, with Gmail, you face this SHA-2 issues. I am not aware of any other solution than going for a new phone, like the Nokia E72 or Nokia E6. Alternatively, you have to access your E-mails via proxy based Internet services like Opera Mini.

    Yes, I have been using only gmail. Yesterday I've tried to set up Yahoo mail and Rambler mail. Both of these services do not work and I think for the same reason. May be there still exists some provider which gives access to mail using SHA-1, but I suppose this is temporarily.

    (I am sorry for possible mistakes in my English)
