Yes, Yahoo! Mail switched end of June, and Рамблер-Почта switched end of March to a SHA-2-only deployment. However, I recommend to notify those providers about this – many administrators are not aware – perhaps they add SHA-1 access.
SHA2 support on Nokia C5,E71 and E72?

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

2015-08-06T15:18:41+00:00 the default E-mail solution in my phone (E71) stopped working [with Gmail]
In your case, the certificates do not help. You would need that SIS. Since July 2015, Google and Gmail switched to SHA-2(56) and disconnected millions of devices, although alternatives like ‘ECDSA/SHA-2 + RSA/SHA-1’ do exist. The Nokia E71 is based on Symbian/S60 Feature Pack 1 and does not support SHA-2 or this SIS. I am not aware of any workaround except to
A) use a proxy based Internet browser, like Opera Mini
B) update to a newer phone – at least with Symbian/S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack 2 or newer, like the Nokia E72 or Nokia E6
If you use additional E-mail providers which do not work anymore either, please, name them. Then, I double-check whether it is the same cause. If the cause is different, there could be a workaround.
I have installed Opera Mini on my Nokia E71. I now use it to access my gmail account, which works properly. Thanks a lot for your tip.

Will Opera Mini also help with Mail for Exchange or is it only good for email in the browser?

If yes, where to download?

2015-09-08T09:06:25+00:00 Thank you very much for sharing this file with us, I have been searching for months some link which could possibly help me to solve my problem with e-mail and wi-fi connection. I have a Nokia E-72 and did hard reset many times, but nothing worked till now, after installing this Network Improvements.sis file through my Nokia Suite using Bluetooth, funny enough this webpage from Microsoft only popped out in my screen today (I have seen many others from Microsoft before).
Thanks a lot
Best wishes
