Anyone else try setting up their Exchange account in the Mail app yet? I can't get it to work no matter what settings I put in. Using the same settings on any iOS or Android device with the Exchange Mail client or Moxier mail works just fine. But not with the Modern UI Mail App.

I could never get Exchange to work in Consumer Preview/Release Preview, but it works perfectly in the RTM.

I chose "Outlook" as the account type, but had to manually enter all of my account details. I'm running the RTM on a domain-joined computer, so my self-signed certificates for Exchange are all considered valid - I know "invalid" certificates will sometimes cause Exchange accounts to not work for Windows and Windows Phone.

I actually got it to work, it was 100% a certificate issue. It doesn't look like you can use the Sync feature with a Self-Signed cert.

I think ActiveSync has to be enabled on the Exchange server for it to work.

Edit: didn't see the latest reply :p
