Re: Exchange locking policy NOT being enforced

I use exchange also and when I log into OWA, I can go to Options > Mobile Devices and then "Wipe all data from device...". If it got into the wrong hands, this could help you rather than just locking it.
Yeah, I've actually done this before when another user left their phone in a taxi.

The autolocking is very useful though for that time when you lose the phone and don't realize it. This way, there won't even be a short period of time where someone can access the info (presuming it was locked when lost).

What I'm trying to figure out is why it wouldn't lock like the old treo 700w did. I assume this is NOT normal behavior.
