Comment 5 for bug 1199774

In order for the Ubuntu phone to gain terrain on the market, it is absolutely crucial to be able to sync calendar, email and contacts with an MS Exchange server. I have been using a Nexus 4 with Ubuntu since October '14 in spite of not being able to do this.

I have done a tedious partial workaround by porting the most needed contacts via Google, but calendar and email remain a problem. At the moment, I only check them on my PC (also running Ubuntu) via the browser logging in to Outook. This is also possible on the phone, but time consuming, unpractical (no notifications) and unpractical.

The IT department that serves the school where I am employed also serves 44 other work places, counting a total of close to 5000 employees. Hoping for them to swap Exchange for something else because I fell in love with the Ubuntu phone is, well, you get the picture!

If these sync issues were resolved, however, the phone would suddenly become immeasureably more attractive to a a very considerable group of potential customers. I sincerely hope someone is giving this some very serious thought. If I had had the necessary skills, I would have spent my time trying to solve this myself, but unfortunately that is not the situation. Please, could someone look into this...? (I will also post this on Ubuntu Discourse)
