Bug: E-mail account password update [released]

Thanks @Veksu for the answer, however this is the way I did it already yesterday without luck.

The current problem is that how to get new password activated on existing Activesync client?

Is the actual problem related to the saving of the new password or if the client otherwise fails to process the new password and thus it doesn't become active?

I tried numerous ways such as closing the e-mail app and then updating the password.

I also deactivated the Activesync account before changing the password. and then re-activating it again. Unfortunately none of the ways that I tried worked until now.

Is the only way at the moment to delete the Activesync acount and re-create it?

In Symbian S^3 the Activesync client indicates that password is not correct and provides for user possibility to enter valid password => In my opinion the Jolla's Activesync client should do the same and thus avoid the situation we have now.

As in my case the Windows logon and active sync are using the same authentication I am now waiting to see, if the failed attempts will eventually lock my windows account due to too many failed attempts with wrong password.

I just noticed that my Activesync client had made scheduled refresh and IT HAD WORKED???

Now also manual refresh from cover and directly from mail app client pulley menus are working - Is it just due to "stupid" user or **is Jolla phone handling the passwords with delay or is the scheduled sync/refresh working differently compared to manual sync/refresh?

Any good comments/explanations for this issue?

I try wrong password case, i change password on Jolla and mail didn't sync, of course. 6 huors later i change original password - the right password back to jolla, and seocnds later when i go to email app its sync emails to me. But email app never say wrong password, only shows when update is made, but that its look a like too when no new emails coming in normal use.

@VDVsx here are some first experiences after the installation of 1.0.3.8 update.

• Change of password at Exchange client yesterday did not have any affect first I was able to send and receive e-mails normally with incorrect client password.
• The mail app app cover didn't indicate anything about incorrect password.
• This morning the app cover indicated about logon problem, but when you have multiple accounts it doesn't indicate what account has the password issue.
• At mail app combined inbox page there is no indicator that password check would have failed
• Individual account folder pages i.e. inbox don't also indicate that password check would have failed
• Changed the password on Exchange client back to correct changed the notification on cover app to synchronization problems, but this is only visible on app cover.
• Change of client password again incorrect, will keep the synchronization problem notification on app cover.
• I'll change the client password now back to correct and keep monitoring when the synchronization problem notification is hopefully cleared.

From user point of view the delays when changing the account password on client or server side are not good approach. The change of passwords should be applied immediately without delay.

Hopefully I don't need to delete and re-create the Exchange client to solve the current synchronization problem notification.

after fours of waiting no progress, but I finally figure out how to get new client password activated immediately.

1. disable the active exchange account and save
2. access server settings from pulley menu and change the password and accept it. Save the settings without activating the Exchange account
3. re-enter account setting page and re-activate the Exchange account and save.
4. Try refresh the emails, which should work, if the entered password is correct.

In principle this approach feels at least to me bit complicated and change of password i.e. client or server password should be activated with out disabling the account as dedcribed above.

If the app still syncs fine after password change in the server is because the server allows that, probably password is behind some LDAP that takes time to propagate the changes, nothing can be done about that. Error reporting needs a lot of improvements, our current UI lacks proper enablers :(

@Kari I was forced to change my password on the exchange server because it expired, and then I also experienced that the Jolla was not able to sync anymore (error description on cover of email-app). After doing as you described (deactivate account, change password, then activate again) it works! So there is definately a bug.

@Kari I had the same problem, but this workaround didn't help in my case. I ended up re-creating account, that worked at the end. Though I'm not sure whether disabling provisioning would have helped, account re-creation didn't not succeed either before it disabled it.

After upgrading, for some reason I wasn't able to change the server settings (trying to open that item from the pulley menu did nothing). I deleted the account and re-added it. Then, I was able to open the server settings normally.

was the account disabled ? if so those settings are not accessible until you save the acct.

No, the account was not disabled.

My activesync account stopped working after I changed password (for ms AD account which is used by exchange), recreating account on jolla phone fixed issue. phone firmware is saapunki. My guess is that saving new password on jolla/activesync account failed.

I had the problem yesterday with 1.0.8.19. I changed my password to the new exchange password and nothing happened. My solution was to set the password to null tried a resync and set the password to a correct value. Unfortunately I'm not able to reproduce this behaviour due to the situation that I'm only allowed to change the password once in 24h (company rule). Am I the only one who had this problem?

I changed exchange server password yesterday and I didn't manage to change the exchange account's password on Jolla so that sync would work. I tried it just now again several times but it didn't work. So I rebooted the Jolla and sync started to work fine right after reboot. So it seems that the new password is not in use until reboot. I'm using 1.1.0.39 Uitukka.

My Exchange account password expired at the end of December, just few days after installing update10.

I went into servcer settings and changed the password as ususal but it never synced the email since.

I tried also to disable provisioning but no luck. I don't want to delete the exchange account and create it again.

May this be a regression? If so, please consider an hotfix release
