There are two issues at play here. The first is the device doesn't  
support one of the policies that the server is sending - which is  
fine, devices do not need to support every policy. The problem is that  
if the device does not support it, it's supposed to tell the server  
that it has a problem with the policy, not just die with a notice to  
the user. It's clear from the trace that your device is *not* doing  
this, so there is no way for the server to know it doesn't like the  
policy and (if we are using PROVISIONING_LOOSE) ignore the PROVISION  
request.

The second issue, is that our code was always sending the entire  
WAP-Provisioning-XML string, even if a device PIN was not  
required...so even if you have disabled the PIN requirement, the  
problematic policy is still being sent.

The first issue there is nothing we can do about. The second issue I  
have fixed in the just released 1.2.3 Horde/ActiveSync release. With  
this latest release, you *should* be able to do any of the following:

- Disable provisioning (though I still don't know why your device was  
sending a PROVISION request when it was never asked to - hoping that  
was a fluke or a side-effect of all the different testing you were  
doing in short succession).

- Use either PROVISIONING_FORCED or PROVISIONING_LOOSE, either with or  
without forcing a PIN. Since your device does not send the correct  
response back to the server indicating that the policy is not  
supported, you should set the 'codewordfrequency' setting to 0 if you  
choose to enforce a PIN. Using FORCED or LOOSE will make no difference  
since your device does not send back any response for an unsupported  
policy.
