Windows Phone 7 Frustrations

[GoodThings2Life]

I agree with Eric on this... the limiting factor here is more with your Exchange Server... you're saying they don't enable ActiveSync? If not, I'm curious about why not. As an Exchange administrator, myself, I can't think of any reason why I'd not allow ActiveSync but would allow IMAP... in fact, the opposite is true... I explicitly ban IMAP, because unlike ActiveSync, I can't secure my user data with IMAP. If data security were the issue, like a government or highly secure company, I would allow ActiveSync knowing I can remotely wipe a compromised device in a matter of seconds.

Incidentally, although each account syncs contacts individually, you use the "Link" button to combine them together for your integrated contact list. Linking occurs automatically for same-name contacts as well.
