Secure EAS

***************No ICS support!***************
Android 4.x is not supported and as the default Email application on ICS already supports client certificates, it is not clear whether this application would provide any additional benefits.

This app adds support for Client Certificate Authentication to Exchange ActiveSync accounts, supporting email, native calendar and native contacts synchronization.

If you just stumbled upon this app while browsing the Android Market, chances are that you don't need it. It provides a very specific functionality with a very narrow focus and is not of use to a wide audience.

This app is repackaged from the CyanogenMod 6.1 Email app to install and work on non-rooted phones and not conflict with the stock Email. It is primarily intended to help with EAS accounts with two-way SSL requirements, a feature which has been previously contributed to CyanogenMod as well. Any further improvements of general interest will also be contributed back to CM.

Thanks to: Google / AOSP for the baseline, CyanogenMod for improvements, Chris Dean for icon.



===Known issues / future improvements===

Improvements:
- Improve PIN/password dialogs for access to app., provide further configurations for security settings

Pre-existing in stock/CM Email:
- Background Sync setting is not respected

I tried this before I found that the email client in ICS has this functionality build-in. SecureEAS crashed (ICS running on Galaxy Nexus) and I couldn't get it to work. Then went to the same process in the standard mail program and all worked fine. Gave it 3 stars as it might work fine on previous versions of the OS. For those it probably is a helpful tool.

Didn't realize incompatibility, until I came to this page. I loved it so far on Android 2.x. Uninstall button is disabled. I was able to uninstall SecureEAS via "easy uninstaller". First attempt, it allows you to unset device administrator privileges. It uninstalls on second attempt. Default Email app works now.

The previous update actually worked on my thunderbolt with Exchange 2010. This latest update has reverted it back to no longer working.

I uninstalled the stock CM7 to replace it with K-9 and then I realised that I no longer have EAS (Corporate). This app solved the problem.

Works perfectly. For those that are stuck without it finding the certificate, make sure your file has a p12 file extension and in in root of the card.

Has no viable competition... Which is unfortunate because it has the fatal flaw that the settings/accounts mysteriously disappear from time to time. All else is fine. After 4th time settings were deleted, i gave up.

For those that require client certs this app may do the trick, but it has crashed three times on SGSII and I lose my settings and email. Wait for ICS.

App does what advertised but also prevents phone from sleeping. Drains battery. 5 stars if power economy is good

I hv downloaded just now n it solves my email problems for android 2.3 I just want to knw is dey hv ny othr themes or widget for my xperia...quick reply will be appreciated.

Had to get rid of it, though, since it trends to lock up my phone while fetching mail. Have to pull the battery when it happens.

Works good except when u delete messages u get alerted to new messages in the trash, and each message deleted shows up twice in trash.

Setting the certificate didn't work at first, but did once I copied the cert.p12 into the root directory of the sdcard (just as it appears in the screenshot). Now it's all great! :-) Update: Doesn't work under Android 4 (ice cream sandwich), but there it also isn't needed anymore: just use the built in email client (which now supports client certificates). Same drill: put the .p12 file into your sdcard root folder (/sdcard).

Great app. Allows secure connection to Exchange Server with personal certificate.

To many crashes on my Droid X. Twice it lost all settings and I had to repeat the setup. Now It happened again and I give up. uninstalling.

Anytime you interrupt this app (force closing it when it starts eating battery, usually), it loses your settings and the process to re-enter them is painful. I give up. I'll just wait for an ICS update.

Works on Samsung GII Sprint to set up EAS. It not only pushes mail and contacts but also adds calendar events to the phone's calendar. Also free.

installed, configured, and got a blank black screen, no email, nothing. BE ADVISED: I could only remove the app by first removing the associated email account. Once I did that, I could uninstall. If you try to just uninstall, the app will not do anything...

If EAS didn't lose sync about 10 times per day it would BE a 10. YOU have evidently updated something recently to cause this. Loved the app before now hate it.

Missing: Limit the size of emails being retrived. Synch tasks

Touchdown has more features but if you want a free exchange activesync app that has the basics and is FREE this is it!

Quick and easy setup. Works great with my corporate email. Even sideloaded it on my Kindle Fire.

we require certs on the handhelds and this app is a life saver. Thanks!

The best app on my LG P990... It does all things that my stock app is not able to do... Sync calendar, Push mail..

Nothing shows up when I try to select a client certificate. How do I select the file?

Works on 4.2 nexus only email though no calendar

Had to setup account from scratch after upgrading, wow. Does only allow for pin/passphrase security.

This phone doesn't support required features - still. Cert is on root of SD and it gets read p12. Running cyanogenmod from 3 nights ago.

A. G. u. Nov 28, 2011     

This app is great, I can't believe it's free. The only feature I miss is searching in the global address list.

Same comment as below on android 2.3.3 I loose certificate, all mail, contact and calendar items when restarting the samsung galaxy s1. Help?

A. G. u. Jun 28, 2011     

When it works, it works well. But sometimes it freezes and either it starts up OK again, or just looses everything includin certificate, and account info. Always pay attention to have data synch on by default, it doesn't like it off. Same for connectivity. It doesn't tell you you forgot to turn both on. Sometimes it just starts and does nothing as a result. Which is normal just you don't know why i doesn't do it. Sometimes it results in crashing the app. And it uses up a lot of battery as a result.
