This is the final part of the email campaigns on Windows Phone series and this time I look at how Exchange ActiveSync (EAS) mailboxes behave within Outlook Mobile on Windows Phone. The EAS protocol is what powers Exchange/Office 365 mailboxes on many mobile devices including Windows Phone and is something that is common in the enterprise world. The experience from an email campaign point of view and to the end user however, is rather frustrating. Find out the key differences and why things don’t quite work the same as POP3/IMAP below.

This is the second part of the email campaigns on Windows Phone series where I look into how email accounts that are configured with POP3/IMAP behave within Outlook Mobile. IMAP is a very common protocol for email these days which mail accounts like Gmail, Yahoo!

I decided to purchase a single Office 365 Mailbox recently to see what exactly Office 365 (OWA) is doing to email in terms of the output after going through the pre-processor, after seeing some pretty weird results from inbox inspection test from Office 365. Turns out after looking into things, I’ve come to the conclusion that the Office 365 OWA app is worse than Outlook 2007 – 2013 for standards support. Find out about the quirks with this email client below.

You may have read about the Heartbleed bug this morning (8th April), not only is this the day support for the operating system Windows XP ends from Microsoft but now we have a very critical OpenSSL bug to mitigate, and its quite a big one. Anyone running a Linux server is most likely affected in some way and action is required immediately. I’ve personally just had to update OpenSSL on four VPS servers and revoke and re-issue about 6 SSL certificates, serious stuff. Find out more after the break.
