Windows RT Mail Client not working with Exchange

Well Office 365 is based on Exchange 2010 and soon Exchange 2013, so I would say Exchange 2007 probably won't work with it. It's just Microsoft's way of forcing you to upgrade I'm afraid.

If it does work with Exchange 2010, maybe you need the latest SP?

It just goes through the Exchange Active Sync protocol - just as a mobile phone does Supporting Windows 8 Mail in your organization - Exchange Team Blog - Site Home - TechNet Blogs

I agree about ActiveSync, but it wouldn't surprise me that Win RT won't work with Exchange 2003 for example.

Quite true especially considering it goes end of life in 2014 but even then admins should be doing the migrations now and not at end of life date so it would make sense that they would ditch it.

MY BAD, windows rt does not support Outlook/Pop not exchange/active sync. However the lack of outlook (without going for 365) I will still be waiting until pro is released.
