Fellow XDA Users!
I have set up a mail system hosted by Google with the domain name 'mailtomymobile.com'.
You can have an account there if you'd like one - it's based on Googlemail, so you get all the features ofGmail - large disk capacity, full web access, forwarding, spam filtering etc, and of course, you can access it via POP3 or preferably IMAP on your XDA.
There is a limit of 500 user acocunts available beyond which it is not financially viable... if you'd like an acocunt, I'm asking for a one-off donation for setup of £10 (20 USD)... some of the funds generated will be donated to this site and xdasite.com to contribute towards running costs. PrivateMessage me or email [email protected] with the username you require and a secondary email address where the login information etc can be sent, and I'll get back to you with more details. Usernames are, of course, first come, first served.

Perhaps I'm missing something...what advantage (other than the domain name) does this give someone over a normal gmail account or a gmail account forwarded to a free mail2web.com account if they want "push" email? Those are free where yours is not and there is the added risk of having your email administered by an unknown person.

I currently have a paying IMAP account on Fastmail.fm and I am seriously considering to change it for a hosted exchange account. From what I read 4smartphone seems to be the best.
How do you choose your 4smartphone email address [email protected] ?
what are the domain name choices ? on Fastmail you can have the choice between a dozen of domain name, unfortunately I haven't seen something like this on 4smartphone.
Hello all,
Recently I've acquired Exchange 2007 and have been using it for family, friends and myself. I have some CALs left over and was thinking of opening it up to members of the forum for free during this beta period (similar to DeniaL's service here). This service includes Outlook Anywhere, Outlook Web Access, push email and stringent spam filtering. The servers are hosted in a reliable datacenter with 24/7 tech support.
If interested, please PM me your:
Name
Desired username
Email alias
I can also be the MX for your personal domain if you'd like (only for advanced users )
Please note that I have started charging for this service: $5/month or $50/year if you pay upfront.
Cross-platform chat is no longer available to make way for a new AJAX-based chat service that works on Pocket IE (and Opera Mobile). Test it at http://statuskuo.net/c2
Out of curiosity, what are you using as your jabber server, and how are you handling the integration with AIM?
I'm with ajolly, I was wondering what gateway you're using for the AIm connectivity, as I'm looking into hosting a Jabber server for my high school and developing an app that would look at the contents of a message and show contextual ads beside it, sort of like gmail.
Donation
I have just sent you a small donation, for this great servce .
Thank you very much...
Just a quick bump on this one ...
kltye kindly provided me with a 'test' account yesterday, and have just gotta say that so far, so good. Set-up was easy, worked first time, sync's OTA flawlessly - and the OWA 2007 interface is great.
If the service is as stable as it appears to be, then I will be staying with kltye and sending him a donation.
Cheers
Mark
Just got myself an account as well. Looks great. Will test it out for a few more days.
Donation coming up... although where???
Server is upgraded to Exchange 2010 now for those who are interested PM me or subscription details.
Anyone else using this service? Seems to be down right now.
G'day.
I've been running Exchange 2003 for myself and a couple of winmo using friends for around a year now, but I really want to use Exchange 2010 for its SMS features and better Outlook web access.
Unfortunately due to the hardware requirement of the latest Exchange, it is not financially tenable for me to host it for a small group. So I was wondering if you guys would like to be hosted for?
Exchange 2010 features specific to winmo (6.5+);
-SMS Sync'ing/backup
-SMS response from Outlook/OWA
-Push
Naturally there is the usual exchange features of contacts/calenders/etc. Don't think I will be able to do Voicemail without messing around with a SIP provider.
I'll also add host server using applications that people think would be nice. For me, that would be TrackMe - others may have other ideas which I will have no issue adding provided it is possible, and it can be shared for us all. Will also be able to allow users to point there own domains at the server, and send from them.
I imagine I should be able to allow mailbox sizes to go between 2-6GB, depending on how many people are interested.
So for this poll, would you be willing to pay $5 towards such a service? I'll try serve for as many people as possible, but I won't oversell the space. Could upgrade specs as and when necessary though .
Feel free to ask me any questions about my idea!
Bumpedy bump
Exchange is good stuff. I don't think that many people realize the many benefits of using it!
Intrested yes
But a few questions, what about reilibility if your server breaks? are we going to have to change our email addresses?? lastly how fast is your connection as you could get quite a few accounts ???
Thanks

There are a number of ways you can ensure mail delivery without the intervention of the Exchange server
-1. Setup a secondary mail account, and a forwarder as your second MX entry in your DNS config (provided you have your own domain - 123reg.co.uk do this for example)
-2. Wait. The message will be delivered eventually. SMTP servers tend to retry for awhile until successful.
I doubt I will add our own backup exchange server. Although I will backup mailboxes so if the server does die for whatever reason, they can be restored when it is fixed.
Yes, you will be able to use your own domain to receive, and send mail from the server. Obviously, this won't work with domains you don't own (hotmail, gmail etc). So yes, you can use your own email address. Should that be an issue, I will provide a generic address such as [email protected]
As for connection speed - this is not something I would be hosting on my home connection, although it would handle it fine. Home connections are often blacklisted by destination SMTP servers. The server will be in a datacenter with either a 10mbit or 100mbit uplink, in the country where most our users are. However, it is unlikely I will allow more than 30 users on our server due to mailbox storage considerations. I only want enough people to make the server financially viable for myself, I am not out to profit.
Besides, judging from the poll so far, I don't think I'll have enough users to start!
I actually have a hosting setup for a few XDA users. I charge $50/year with "unlimited" storage - I haven't seen any mailboxes grow uncontrollably thus far, so we'll see how it goes. I have two mailbox servers (for those of you in the know, yes, it is a DAG) to ensure uptime. Both servers have RAID 1 hard drives. One is hosted in a datacenter in Chicago (Ubiquity) using a Dell PowerEdge 1950. The backup server is self hosted at home - so mail access may be slow if the primary goes down.
Let me know if you guys want more details.
Let me start by saying I do nto want to spend 20$ on Touchdown.
Has anyone used this email app for their corporate emails? I am just wondering how secure it is and how I would talk my director into letting is be used if it keeps getting blocked my gmail as coming from Israel? I did email their support and here is an answer I received.
Dear Customer,
Please login to your Gmail account from PC browser and see if there is a warning about suspicious login attempt. Allow access from our server.
The instructions are inside Google warning.
Then long press on account record on main application screen and choose Send / Receive.
This is not a hacking attempt - it is an attempt of our service to communicate with your account.
Emoze designed to work as client - server. We do not save any information on our servers.They work as smart routers only. All data transferred only when device connects to collect new mail through encrypted tunnel.
If you have additional questions do not hesitate to ask.
I do like some of the options it gives me in Emoze, such as the ability to be notified when i get an email in one of my folders that is under my inbox...I have many folders set and I have rules set to send emails to them, in the stock email app it will not send me a notification when I get emails to those folders.
So, my question is, what are your thoughts on this app and would you use it for work?
Why not use K9 mail with APG encryption?
Question: Both Aquamail and TypeApp use Auth 2 token approach with gmail and hotmail/Outlook accounts added to their apps HOWEVER unlike AquaMail (or so Aquamail says on its privacy policy) it is not clear if TypeApp is secure because it uses third party servers (Amazon's) to temporarily store email and maybe passwords (TypeApp a little vague on this point in its privacy policy/Android tips sections). Aquamail was created by one Russian individual - so not thirlled to use - what if he tires of it, gets sick or unfortunately dies - I have two businesses and seems crazy to relay on precious email on it. TypeApp seems to be a small group as well and unclear who they really are. YET only email choices are anemic ones that come with phones, in my case Samsung's, or Outlook which is not very good, or gmail which has limits how far back emails cnan be from and no auto bb, although I think I found a work around/method to have auto bcc for all email accounts put in gmail app, but gmail is missing a lot of features TypeApp offers and Yahoo can't handle Exchange and that is it folks for major company email apps. For something so crucial as email, which doubled in use in last two years, and MOST critical feature for phone for business users, its kind of shocking. What are small companies to do who can't afford their own Exchange servers? World of VPN still not clear to me - unclear if can handle my small business hosted on Aabaco (that company bought out Yahoo Small Business), my small business hosted on GoDaddy's Office 365 (so has "piece" of Exchange server), and my gmail accounts.
If there are any SECURITY EXPERTS who might respond with their thoughts would appreciate it. (Yes I know no email is fully secure unless through end-to-end encrypted but looking for next best since can even that can have problems -- swiss one that was crowdfunded was hit by ransomware). Trying to get on Android phone the security of Blackberry and ability to get all email through one email app. As noted, have two small companies one re Yahoo Small Business now Aabaco and and other on GoDaddy 365 (so Exchange mail) plus gmail accounts. Wanted to use TypeApp but after reading its privacy policy and reading in TypeApp's own Android Tips section about re auth2 security, I did more research and found two articles with opposite view.
One says TypeApp not at all secure since keeps emails temporarily on third party servers possibly with passwords and even though uses tokens for gmail and hotmail/outlook accounts, it can only use SSL for other types of accounts, so passwords in an "extra" place (Amazon's servers) making it open to additional place to be hacked. androidforums.com/threads/email-which-apps-keep-it-private.935578/; and (2) other article says it is very secure as is Aquamail reddit.com/r/androidapps/comments/2xvs8m/whats_the_best_free_email_app_without/ (see the reply from Julianoniem that discusses Autu 2 and ranks the emails based on Auth).
TypeApp says has to store users' emails temporarily on third party servers (instead of like Aquamail in which users emails go directly from email provider to users' account) in order to offer push rather than fetch and so that user can use feature offered to delay responding. Want to use TypeApp since it offers key things need including: (1) auto bcc for a workaround for the GoDaddy Account (too long to explain the workaround here) ; and, (2) ability to "show" all emails as far back in time as want.
So what do you think about security of TypeApp after you read its privacy Policy and based on its use of third party servers in the structure I described?
