iOS selective wipe
anybody come across a cheap or free way to do selective wipe on iOS devices? Or in other words, is there an easy way to preserve a users personal data (ie photos, apps) but wipe any emails on the device as part of an Activesync partnership?

There are 3rd party tools from companies like Zenprise that can do selective wipe, but they are expensive. I'm looking for an open source alternative to only wipe the messaging folder. There HAS to be somethign out there!!!
What version of Exchange do you have?
Exchange 2007/2010 can have the device Partnership removed without wiping the device. This isn't possible with Exchange 2003 though.

my goal is to wipe email on a device when an employee terminates, but not wipe all of the other personal data on the device. Removing the partnership will remove the ability to sync new email if i disable the account, but it doesnt address the security issue unfortunately.
That is true - not ideal, but about all that I am aware of that isn't costly I'm afraid.

This solution is only available to members.

If the iOS device has been connected to a computer with iTunes, then it should be backed up and thus you can restore it after a wipe has been performed.
If you have users who own their iOS devices and then you add corporate email to them, they need to be aware that they should backup their personal data otherwise it may get lost if wiped.
