Also, regarding the phone not working with provisioning enabled, I  
found another KB article  
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/exchange-activesync-considerations-when-using-windows-phone-7-clients.aspx

This one states that if using EAS 2.5 (what Horde implements) then  
ONLY a single security policy is honored - require a password. All the  
other supported policies are only available on WP7 if using a more  
recent protocol version.

I'll have to make more tweaks to the code to allow this, though it  
*really* stinks to have to disable useful security policies that *are*  
supported by the protocol only because one type of device does not  
support them. Perhaps in an upcoming version I'll implement an  
advanced per-device-type policy configurable by editing a text  
file...I believe exchange does something similar - though it might be  
configurable via a GUI.

In the meantime, turning off provisioning correctly should allow your  
devices to connect.
