Exchange Send - Your Mailbox is Full

Set up an iPhone 3G with Exchange. The mailbox is fine, no quotas or limits on storage. I can see all the folders and receive mail, but when I compose an email I get a popup message on the iPhone "Cannot Send Mail, Mailbox is full"

We can send, receive etc. on the account from Outlook with no problems at all.

Any ideas?

Have you double-checked your outgoing mail server settings? Sometimes port or other setting issues can cause errors like this. If you're confident that the settings are correct, you might try deleting the account and re-establishing it on your phone.

Hi - yep, reset iphone, deleted all accounts etc. In an exchange email setup there are no outgoing server details, it uses the exchange server name/ip address.

All works, account verification, receiving, all folders are visible etc.

Just can't send and that unusual "Cannot Send Mail, Mailbox full".

Obviously no answers, never mind. Going to test with Nokia N900 when it is released - may be limitation on iPhone limits. We have a lot of subfolders and quite a number of emails.

Anybody hit any limitation on the iPhones capability to fully integrate with Exchange?

Thanks!

It's an iPhone limitation. We have just tested with 2 iPhones, different emaill accounts.

It seems to be the same as the problem we had with a HTC Advantage X7510 or active sync about a year or so ago.

The X7510 claimed to be able to sync completely with Exchange - I emailed HTC to confirm and they said yes. However, any folder with more than 1000 items in it seems to cause problems and we ended up having to hard reset the device.

I complained to HTC to no avail. And on the various forums, the answer was - use a laptop.

So the iPhone (3G anyway) has the same faults.

Roll on the Nokia N900. Let's see what a 4GB mailbox + can do to that.

Hmm, just realised someone at the end of my post suggested an iPhone.

Bad move.

Laptop.
