Exchange Email - Cannot Get Mail, connection to server failed

I have a new iPhone 3GS, i can setup my exchange account through the iphone and the account comes back as verified, however i cannot get any mail. All i get is Cannot Get Mail, The connection to the server failed. I have tested my account settings on a Windows Mobile 6 device and it connects fine. Any ideas as this is now driving me crazy!!!!!!!

I am also having the same problem. I can connect to the exchange server no problems. Contacts and calendars sync okay backwards and forwards. I cannot get mail. It keeps coming up with Cannot get mail - user name or password are incorrect. The username and password are not incorrect - they are the same ones I use to login in with web access. Anybody out there got any ideas. It's getting a bit frustrating having to go into Safari and webmail everytime I want to check for emails.
