        COMPLETED!?!?!?! Are you kidding me ? Try to receive an encrypted e-mail from a BB .. and then put it as complete.

        Our company does not use Exchange but we send/receive encrypted (S/MIME) emails. Is it supported in WP8? iOS 6 supports S/MIME. In Android we can use combination of Djigzo and K9 Mail. Are there 3rd party products capable of sending/receiving encrypted (S/MIME) emails in WP8?

        Only half-implemented. SD contents not encrypted, and not ignored when SD is not present (like on Lumia 920). Still can't sync to my corporate Exchange account.

        Good that this is coming for Windows Phone 8. What about existing users? It should also be made available in 7.8 update for all existing users.

        Totally supports Exchange(device encryption),so wen can receive compay email, you know it's very basically founction.

        Really need this feature with alphanumeric password for phone lock. Our company policy is set such that if you r phone does not support alphanumeric password, you can not sync company outlook on your phone.

        Due to HIPAA constraints, all devices syncing with Exchange must have device encryption. I currently use OWA from my WP7, but that's a hassle that should be unnecessary. It's like having a sharp pebble in a nice pair of shoes. Other than this, I'm still thoroughly impressed with my phone.

        Congratulations WP 7.5!! I have no choice but to go back to BlackBerry since you will not fix the on device encryption problem. I hope you catch the sarcasm because I am laying it on THICK!!!!

        I have read the Microsoft paper on Windows Phone security, which is impresssive, but this information is not being adequately communicated to corporate customers, including state government folks. They need to have explained to them why on-device encryption isn't really necessary for Windows Phone 7.5 and how they can setup an exception for Windows Phones versus the Exchange security requirements for Android or Apple phones. This is more a marketing issue than a technical one, as Windows Phone 7.5 seems to have all the security anyone needs and more.... thanks.

        I dont want to see "This type of message is not supported by current version of Windows Phone" message, but I need to S/MIME certificate support for Mobile Outlook.

      • Michael RodenMichael Roden commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

        Support for digital certificates and S/MIME encryption for email, as well as on-device storage encryption are crucial to business users (like me).

        For an O/S that is ideal for collaboration, the lack of device encryption is strange. It should surely be easy to implement a feature that even android devices have at present?

      • AnonymousAnonymous commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

        I cannot get my free WP phone from my company if there is no encryption. Is there hope?

      • AnonymousAnonymous commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

        I am sure our company will purchase around 300 Nokia Lumia as soos as there is encryption .

        This needs to be addressed ASAP! I bought a windows phone PURELY based on it's Outlook/Exchange ability (Silly me for EXPECTING microsoft products to play nice with each other)

        When will Windows phone team provide this basic function as other phone has? I have been waiting for over a year and I am getting the iPhone soon (my old phone is up for renewal). My company does not approve the Windows phone 7 device. My company is a fortune 500 company. We have over 100,000+ employees and look likes Microsoft is ignoring the business sector. How sad!!!!! I am a MS developer but I have to shift focus to other platform because MS is dragging their feet......how frustrated.
