I'm still getting password requests, any ideas?

Just have to keep trying. I was getting nothing but password requests, waited a day and it was fine.

Also set this up on my girlfriend iPhone last night with no problems.

This is great, if only I could have more than 1 Exchange account on my iPad (prob iPhone too).

Could you not get one of your exchange accounts to grab mail from the other account, and have that one attached to your pad/phone?

You can if you are jailbroken.
Try an app called mBox Mail on the appstore.
It syncs Hotmail accounts and has push.

This is great, worked first time and downloaded all my emails right away (almost 5000!).

Is it possible to setup Exchange ActiveSync with Apple Mail? I can't seem to get it working and from the Microsoft site it would appear that it isn't possible, but maybe someone knows a work around? It would be perfect if I could eliminate POP on my Mac.

Ta muchly

iOS4 supports more than 1 exchange account (I have 2 running now on my iPhone).

I'm guessing the iPad will get this when iOS4 is released for it in the next couple of months.

Tried to do it but didn't work. I'm currently using mBox Mail for Mac at the moment, works pretty well. Definitely worth it if you have folders on your account.

Is it possible to prevent 'delete from server' with Activesync? It's an option available with other emails I've setup with the iPhone, any other way around this?

Tried putting activesync hotmail on my iphone 4 yesterday but i think because of the issues they are having it wasn't working and kept asking me for my password every 2 seconds.

This should be good once they get the bugs out.
