That is exactly what he needs to try first, it doesn't mean that it will work, or that it hasn't been disabled by his IT department. This worked for me for a month or so, then the IT department realized the default was set to on, and disabled it.

Next is to install the certificate used for the OWA server, follow the instructions given earlier in this thread. Then retry the Active Sync approach.

If that doesn't work, or you get a message indicating that your account is not enabled for OMA... the built in Active Sync will not work.

Assuming that it doesn't work, it is also doubtful that you will be able to use IMAP outside of your work network. So you are very limited in what you can do.

You can use OWA in a browser (IE, or Opera).
You can use some service that runs on a machine at your work site, and sends the information to their external server, and connect to their external server.
You can use a service that connects to OWA and caches the data on their external server, and use thier external server on your device.

This is what led me to develop my program. I started with syncing the calendar, so that's all it does right now.
