but can someone explain why this has been such a low priority given
how widespread exchange is in the business world
It's a complex task and the list of sizeable enhancement requests is
large.
Supporting a huge new amount of code is a big deal when we have issues
to address as is.
There's XOAuth 2.0 for Gmail, a bunch of unsupported encryption
techniques, S/MIME for encryption, the PGP/MIME work is still in
progress (though it's coming along well), there's constant pressure to
re-design the app to meet more modern Android solutions, outstanding
requests to look at storage and a ton of other stuff like auto-conf.
Plus if you're using a closed source email server you're probably not
the primary target for an open source app. We can't be all things for
all people.
I did look into this at the weekend. There's an old code branch which
uses some of the default Android app
(prior to the feature being removed in newer versions)'s code.

Exchange Active Sync is a licensed protocol. Google and all the
manufacturers have a license.
I'm hoping I'll hear back from Microsoft.
But before I get something saying we either don't need a license or it's
free for us, the chances of it being added is small IMO.

This is an older thread, but my company just switched to Exchange
2010 and I faced the same issue.
I am now using Maildroid for my corporate mail, and setup with it
was effortless. One advantage: the Android email app won't let me
connect to the Exchange server without having a PIN code on the
phone, which is a pain, but the Maildroid app does, so I can
procrastinate a little longer...
I would much rather have all my mail in one app, but for now, that
will do (of course, I could use Maildroid for all my accounts, but I
do like and want to support K-9)

Hi there.
I love k-9 but had to stop using it when I started a new job and
needed to check work email on my phone. I've searched and found
posts dating back to 2010 asking for this and responses varying
from "not at this time" to "looking into it." I understand that
this app is free and supported/maintained by volunteers, but can
someone explain why this has been such a low priority given how
widespread exchange is in the business world - even in the
nonprofit sector in which I work. I'm no microsoft fan, but I just
don't get it especially when the default android app can do it.
Again, I really love this app and would make a donation if I could
use it for both personal and work email...
Thanks.
