In the Data-Field are a lot of message-ids - did'nt count them, but 
there are a lot more than 50 - perhaps all 397.

Hmmm - I've tcpdump on the machine. Would a tcpdump-trace helpful as 
well? AFAIK wireshark can read tcpdump output as well...

OK, did a full reset of the phone, upgraded to latest firmware and 
switched to english language. The Error Message on the phone is "Unable 
to synchronize with server. Try again later."

In a MfE FAQ-Document 
(http://www.appgate.com/index/support/qa/MailForExchange-FAQ.pdf) I 
found how to get at least some logs from MfE.

In this log I get a "Failed to decode XML document" entry, but so far I 
did'nt figure out WHY it failed...
