NitroDesk launches TouchDown Exchange client for Android

NitroDesk, a company that specializes in web-services, has just released TouchDown – the first Microsoft Exchange client for the Android OS. TouchDown, unlike other released exchange services for Android, will allow users to access their email, contacts, and calendar information on their Exchange servers. NitroDesk assures users that TouchDown is secure, and that the TouchDown will be the only application necessary to ensure the process on both the mobile and server-side.

In addition to allowing users to fetch data from the server, TouchDown also allows users to set their devices to periodically check for updates. TouchDown is currently available direct from NitroDesk for the price of $29.99. A free trial is also available.

You’ll find a gallery of screen shots after the jump.

    Dear NitroDesk,

    I just bought license for touchdown via website. $19.99 is a big money for me. But I believe touchdown paid version is what I need.

    I have one question about how to operate touchdown. When I want to check if there are new emails come to you, which option should I choose? I saw “fresh” and “fetch all” options. Which one should I choose?

    By the way, I paid $19.99 for life long license or one year license?

    Best Regards,
    Olav

    Worked for me after installing SP2 upgrade. 2 problems so far

    I can choose multiple contact folders from within touchdown display but I still only get sync with the original Contact folder. Calendar, Task Email all work fine but not other Contact folders

    I also checked “update contact changes from to phone” in advanced menu after first insall…all contacts previously installed from exchange in touchdown disapeared except the one new one I had added on my contact exchange server. Had to refresh all

    Still trying get the hang of it

    I am trying to install hte Touchdown app becasue my Droid would not wotj with my corporate exchange security policies but I still seem to have a problem. I get thru the installation, and I get no screens at the end? I hit refresh and nothing happens. Can someone help?

    Olav
    the license is life-long
    Usually new emails arrive as soon as they are received at the server. Otherwise you should use the Refresh option

    DRW
    Currently touchdown only supports the main contacts folder, but it will change in the next release

    Todd,
    You should follow the instructions at http://tinyurl.com/tdstart if you still have trouble, please email support at nitrodesk.com

    I LOVE this software and purchased the full version, way out performs Moximailer that came with my Samsung Moment.

    one question. I noticed that the Fax numbers are not showing up in my contacts. Would be nice to have this in a future release.

    Would also be nice to be able to click on the contact name from an email to call someone.

    Great stuff, THANKS!

    My friend and I purchased Motorola droid last week. We wanted Touchdown for our Office mails. We downloaded the trial version. At that time the licensed version was $5.99. Last Friday, it was 9.99 and suddenly I see it as $19.99. You are pretty aggressively pricing a popular product. Can we get an reprieve?

    Can 2 email accounts be set-up on TouchDown? Or do I have to buy 2? Would that even work? I paid the $20 and my outlook works great, but I have another work address.

    Thanks, Griz

  • Brian M

    Is Touchdown compatible with MS Exchange 2003?

  • lee

    When I check a new email and then go back to the menu screen the email disappears…is there a setting that will allow me to view read emails in my inbox?

  • Michael

    I have a client with an HTC Touch Pro using your latest TouchDown application trying to connect to their Microsoft Small Business Server 2003 with Exchange 2003 SP2 installed. Does not seem to connect properly.

    One of your Email threads shows you require http://www.mycompany.com/owa but how about http://www.mycompany.com/exchange?

    Let me know if you know of any issues with Small Business Server.
    Thanks.

    I have a G1 phone I downloaded the free version (NonCupcake) and it worked great. The 5 day trial period ran out on this Tuesday so I paid for the upgrade to the full version. It still worked great until yesterday (Friday) morning. No new emails load in it looks like it times out when I click refresh it simply says initializing connection for a long time but nothing ever happens. It constantly tries and then asks me if I want to wait or force close. I checked out FAQ PDF and it said to run a diagnostic, but I can’t even get that to open and work. Anybody know what the email address is for support? I can’t seem to find it.

  • Craig

    I am the most cynical bastard out there, so I believe nothing. Preamble, ok? And, I can’t get AT&T at my house, and Verizon has the best signal there, so–that’s the only choice. Far out suburban Atlanta, with zero, no kidding, AT&T.

    So, sitting on my ass, waiting for something close to the iPhone–but it has to be Verizon–and last year comes the Android. I’m in love. For work, including email. Right? Wrong.

    Pretty quick comes the problem with Exchange sync. Hours and hours behind. Worst ever? 6 hours behind, and my boss is an email lunatic, requiring fast response. Then, I go online just before I was ready to switch back to a Blackberry, for God’s sake, and I find this Touchdown app.

    Wow.

    Not only does it keep me totally, real-timed sync’d up, but it also does one other huge thing I haven’t seen much talk about, which is to allow mass deletion of the junk/deleted inbox. Corporate rules I deal with suppress email support when the inbox, including deleted items, gets too big, and the native Droid system doesn’t allow mass delete of the “deleted” folder. But God love ‘em, Touchdown does. SCORE!

    Only negative is that the icons are reminiscent of GeoCities circa 1996. Lame. But, it doesn’t get in the way of performance.

    Love it, love it, love it. Solved my problem, works great, highly recommend it.

    Just bought a Droid and am trying to sync it with my work’s 2003 Exchange server. Couldn’t do it out of the box so am trying Touchdown. I get this error message, “not trusted server certificate: Exception performing…” any ideas?

  • Audra

    Nitro,
    was wondering what settings i need to set up my exchange through owa, what exactly do i need to enter into my touch down app in order to to this? any i deas? or am i going to need a redirector?

  • Katie

    I had to do a factory reset on my device and re-install TouchDown. The e-mail sync is working perfectly. I can’t get the calendar to sync at all…it’s completely blank. What am I missing?

    Thanks!

  • Alex

    Had the attr value delimiter error, but got that fixed after reading this page. However, now when I try to synch I get an error that “The page cannot be displayed. Explanation: There is a problem with the page you are trying to reach and it cannot be displayed”. Looks like your standard timeout sort of error, but it occurs IMMEDIATELY after the text reads “Synchronizing Initializing 1 of 1 (Inbox)”. I’m using the trial version prior to buying. Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks

  • Jared

    @Alex did you get an answer for this? I am seeing the same problem…

  • JimC

    Motorola Droid user here. Non-cupcake version worked great. Upgraded to 2.0 and it works beautifully. I like the 30 day trial over the 5 day but I’m not going to wait – it works exactly as needed so I’ll make the purchase today.

    @Audra – see Nitro’s post from 11/21/08 at the top of the page. If that doesn’t work, your userid might need to contain your internal domain (ie., audra@nitrodesk.local or something like that)

    Hi,

    We use 2003 exchange server

    I am getting the following error message using touchdown.

    ActiveSync location returned HTTP code 403: Forbidden

  • Stephen McIntosh

    Touchdown took some time for me to setup, everything looked ok but it wouldn’t sync. Then last night it started working last night and everything synced fine.

    Due to me being super happy I paid the $20.

    Then today it just stopped syncing again and gives me ActivySync EXCEPTION: hostname in certificate didn’t match:

    Why is this?

  • stephen mcintosh

    Still no luck getting it to sync on my HTC hero. It was working fine… then just stopped. I have tried a full reinstall but no joy.

    I hope I haven’t wasted my money here

  • Sophie

    2.1 Andriod Hero Australia (I know it hasn’t been officially released but I have an official HTC media prototype (i.e not a rom)). I put all my details into touchdown free version, it tells me it syncs successfully but then I get blank screens for everything but contacts. It fetched my contacts just fine. I will uninstall until the official update comes out in Australia and try again.
    Just giving heads up if anyone else has this problem.

  • http://androidauthority.com Adam

    Nitro:

    Touchdown is not needed on the Incredible, is that correct?

    Is there something comparable for the Incredible?

  • RENEE

    I am debating on getting Mot Droid but just found out when i opened up an e-mail, font size was too small to read and Mot droid doesn’t have the ability to enlarge contents of e-mail.

    And one of the salesman suggest that i buy Touch Down saying it does have the abiltity to enlarge the e-mail fonts. Am I right?

  • Cerebus

    Sophie, same here, i just got the samsung captivate galaxy phone, and i can get contacts, and all that just fine, but email is completly blank as well. This phone comes out the 18th officialy i think of this month. not sure why only that is blank, its the only thing i care about lol… oh well! Thanks!

  • Barry

    Does the software support syncing the Drafts folder? Does this work both ways, ie If I create a new message in Outlook\phone does it get saved in drafts folder then synced to device? If so, can I carry on editing a message saved in the drafts folder on the phone? Dealbreaker for me.

    Cheers

  • Peter

    Will it be possible to sync with multiple Exchange Servers, i.e. two different work places for calendar, contacts and emails?

    Is it possible to have the calendar shown as “full page” on my HTC Desire?

  • http://simplehr.com Dave J

    Hey guys – we had to reinstall Touchdown to a Droid X after it required a hard reset by Verizon. Everything works fine except was cannot get his email to update automatically. The refresh stalls on 1 of 4 Inbox and then reads: TouchDown error SSL shutdown failed: I/O error during system call,…
    We have another Droid X with Touchdown and all the settings are exact and the emails are coming through just fine. Any suggestions? Please HELP!

  • BIll

    “attr value delimiter missing!(START_TAG……”
    Keep in mind you can start getting this error if you change your network password. Just go into your account settings and update your pasword.

  • FLyellowrose

    I cannot see my read emails in my Inbox.
