I got Touchdown to work.
Use the Configuration Wizard, and one has to UNTICK all protocols EXCEPT ACTIVEsync.

Hi Jef,

The IBM app for Android is not a viable solution It won’t let one add sync the calendar with Android (and then use Android Agenda Widget for aggreate the calendars). Additionally, one has to grant admin rights to the company one works for. This allows then permission to perform a factory reset on your Android phone! Since I bought the phone, then only I should be allowed to factory reset it.

The most important detail is missed from your report. Specific settings to get Touchdown to activesync with Domino. I’ve tried for months, and have never managed to do it, and Nitro did not reply to my Emails.

Anna,

I’m sorry if I didn’t provide details, as I’ve abandoned Traveler usage. IBM has their own Android client which does NOT use Activesync, but uses their own SyncML implementation now which might offer more features then their ActiveSync portion. Touchdown worked fine with Exchange, so I think the problem was Traveler though.

I meant the wizard as the Quicksetup option. It will detect your system as Domino/Traveler during the setup.

You will also have to tell it to accept the HTTPS cert if you are using a private cert.

Unfortunately due to the current state of Traveler with missing features for AS, The product from Good Messaging was a better fit for me to gain mobile access to email.

Good Luck!

Everyone googles for Touchdown and Notes Traveler, and they come across this page.
You claim to have Touchdown working, yet offer no details on how you did this.
Nitrosoftware, when contacted, say that it’ll work (although unsupported), yet offer no details on how to connect. I see that someone noted that the Connections Wizard should be used, yet there is no Connections Wizard on Touchdown. Only a quick set-up.
Frankly, I smell something.

Yes it does work, but you have to use the Connection wizard to have it correctly identify it as a traveler server.

Has anyone actually got Touchdown and Lotus Notes Traveler working? I tried the demo but it insisted that it would only set-up a MS Exchange account.

The native Android 2.2 mail app still doesn't work with Lotus Notes Traveler through ActiveSync. Touchdown has been greatly improved over the last few months and works pretty well. There are still some limitations like accepting calendar invites or reading encrypted email.
IBM has released the first beta of Traveler with native Android support. I plan on checking it out in the next few weeks, time permitting.

Use ActiveSync ONLY mode
Enter your traveler server name simply as host.domain.com
