Exchange Sync Question

[mikbau]

Hello All
I'm new to the Android devices, and am getting familiar with my Nexus 7.

I've set up an account to sync my corporate calendar to the device, but I turned off the "Sync Email" selection, as I don't plan on using it. However, if I click on the email icon, I see that it has actually synced with the server. The only way I could find to prevent this was to set the Sync Frequency to "Never"

Am I missing something here? Shouldn't disabling the sync email setting prevent it from syncing at all?

thanks

You are right it should, I would call Nexus tech support to see what up with that.

I set up Exchange account on mine first thing and it worked for two weeks. Now all of a sudden it says it can't contact the Exchange server. If I change the password it will reject it so I know it's authenticating. iPhone still works fine. Tried removing/adding account, tried clearing data/cache for email/contacts/calendar, tried restarting. Don't need work email on it bad enough to factory reset, I've already installed a lot of stuff, but it would be nice to have.
