So to connect to an Exchange server in iOS, Android or WebOS you have to give the server root on your phone? What sort of crazy security policy is that?

So you connect and store a bunch of confidential and important information on a device that you can leave at a bar?! What sort of security policy is that?

Just use IMAP instead. There's no remote wipe protocol in IMAP.

That's if the Exchange server hasn't been configured to ONLY allow ActiveSync connections.
