This is a resolution?

To reestablish syncing, have your Exchange Server administrator change the mailbox policy to no longer require device encryption.
Seriously?

It's not currently supported. Obviously it's not trivial for Apple to implement, or else it would have been done already.

Understood, but they should have just said that there is no resolution at this time then, rather than offering embarrassing non-resolutions.

If encryption is indeed the configuration that MS recommends, I guess it is safe to say that the iPhone's Exchange support is pretty much broken.

That is a resolution. It might not be the one you want, but it is one possible solution.

It does work on the iPhone 3GS. the hardware supports it.

The issue is, apparently, that on all previous systems, apple claimed full support but were faking the encryption, since the hardware simply didn't support it. I. e. they were lying.

At least, that's what that bitof polemic up there is trying to incite people into believing.
