That is very interesting indeed! I am on a 3GS – any others out there with a similar issue?

I heard, maybe six months ago, that this was an Exchange server requirement. Have you Googled it up to find more info?

I too have an iPhone 3GS running OS 3.1.3 (7E18) and I still have the Never option as well. This is a very interesting post that appears not to be factual.

Are you running Exchange on a server? I think if you have Exchange setup for email, it requires that option to leave on NOT be available. Any other people who are using the iPhone with an Exchange server see this?

Have your say
