I can't really believe I'm actually typing this post, but here goes anyway. Has anyone else been able to get the built in Mail app on Windows RT to talk to Microsoft Exchange? A member of SLT here wanted the Surface which I am setting up for them, however, it just won't connect to Exchange whatsoever. We're running Exchange 2007 here which should be supported, however, worryingly after a quick Google search I found these 2 threads on TechNet's social forums:

Add your exchange account

Exchange 2003 support

1 post even says that the Mail app is not working with either Exchange 2003, 2007 or 2010! So am I right to believe that Microsoft Mail doesn't work with Microsoft Exchange? And seeing as this is Windows RT, I can't even install a 3rd party client! If this is the case, then definitely well done Microsoft, really well done! :|

Works fine with an iPad though! :laugh:

Are you getting any error messages at all? I know the Mail client definitely works with Exchange seeing as I've already setup 4-5 computers each with an Office 365 account. Do you have autodiscover setup or are you inputting everything manually?

Working fine with Exchange 2010 here. Do you have a proper certificate for exchange, or just a self-signed one? If so, you may have issues there with it not trusting the secure connection. Your best bet in that case is to install the certificate into a trusted store, and then try connecting again.

The only error I get is "Unable to connect. Ensure that the information you've entered is correct." I have checked many times and the account is definitely working as I've just set it on an iPad.

Yes, we have a proper certificate for Exchange.

      It’s amusing how Microsoft is pushing IT admins as if this was a major, game-changing update. In reality, it’s just an enablement package that bumps the build number, which is disappointing compared to the more substantial 22H2 and 24H2 releases. Technically, 25H2, 26H1, and the upcoming 26H2 are essentially the same, differing only in support schedules. They could have included the Windows K2 improvements here, but chose not to. The era of Windows being in the backburner continues, and this 26H2 release feels like an afterthought. Shame, Nadella, shame.

      Microsoft, totally not confusing /s 25H2 - Current for non-Arm based Windows 26H1 - Current for Arm based Windows 26H2 - Only for non Arm Windows
    • Windows 11 version 26H2 is now available for testing in the latest preview build

      After I installed those, my older but capable Win 11 laptop (16GB RAM) reported it as 26H2 26300.8697. Then I installed it on my big laptop (128GB RAM! Hehe sorry), it reported it as 25H2 26220.8690. Ugh. Do I have to switch Insiders channels from Release to Beta?
