Hello all,
Does anyone know of a way that would allow me to use an Exchange account and keep it synced up to my Gmail account?
By that I mean messages marked as read/deleted would replicate to both?
I pay for an Exchange account but really just use it for my calander and contacts as I primarily use Gmail (imap) on my Tilt. I've got it set to check for messages every 10 minutes but would prefer to use my Exchange account if I could get it to sync up with Gmail.
Thanks
David

seriously the only reason i use it is because i can sync my contacts and appointments.. itd be nice if i could recieve emails on my phone but you have to have an exchange server to do that... So honestly whats the point of it because not too many people i know have one and its just makes sense that if i wanted to send and email on the go i could but no if i type it, it will be sent when i sync the phone with the computer... Is there anyway to get mail without a exchange server? I know if i add an email i could get mail that way but itd be nice to sync everything in outlook...
I don't use an exchange server and I can send and get emails fine.
how is that possible my send/recieve button is shadded out... the email i have set up with it is my comcast.net which is a pop3... what is yours?

You can set up your comcast.net account on your phone just fine, just add a new pop account to your phone and go from there.
i know but i cant have both my outlook and add the same email to send and recieve can i? im just saying i should be able to do it without having two of the same accounts you know?
Dont worry about Outlook.....just use your comcast account...I don't understand what you are saying....I have the same setup as you. What I don't understand is why anyone would sync with Outlook.....maybe once....the first time to get your Outlook contacts on the phone...but after that - why bother? I get my mail wirelessly....and now all my contacts are on my phone...no need to sync anymore.
I just autoforward all my work email to my gmail account (2GB). Then I set my phone to check that email. The only workaround that I have found since my company is too [email protected]$# cheap to get me a balckberry even though I am part of IT....
Anyway.... hope that helps.

I'm using outlook, to sync tasks, contacts, calendar events, notes, to have a backup for any unforeseen events.
For mailing I use a gmail account whith IMAP access (way better/secure than POP), and for sending mails google's SMTP.
Hi,
I'm using an WM6.1 Sprint HTC Snap right now. I'm using my gmail account as an exchange server and that is my primary email account for both receiving and sending emails. I also use my hotmail account very occasionally so I just recently set that up too.
My problem is that after I added the hotmail account, any time I try to send an email it automatically defaults to the hotmail account to send from, and also when I open up my inbox it always shows the hotmail account first.
Is there any way to make it default to sending through the outlook exchange (gmail) account and default to that inbox first? This is really annoying me and I might as well just remove the hotmail account if this is not changeable.
As a lawyer, I need to be able to sync my phone to and fro with confidentiality for my clients. I was able to do this before with my palm treo(legacy device), but now that I have made the leap into the new smartphone age I realized that androids sync with google on pretty much everything so I was wondering if anyone has any idea how to sync all of the stuff on my sensation without sending any information to google.
Also what is this tmobile theme engine they are talking about in this post:

When setting up your phone & using a gmail account, go to Accounts & Sync & uncheck syncing of contacts.
Then you can setup your e-mail accounts & contacts through HTC's exchange setup. This will not go throught google but will sync your phone to the exchange account directly.
Contact Sync
You could try using Microsoft Exchange as your email client. I use Exhange along with with my google email.
omar when i go into accounts and sync there is no feature to stop the syncing of contacts and also what is this htc exchange setup. Also i checked my gmail account and the contacts that are synced on it are only from the ones i input into google voice not my phone, but some contacts that are favorited on my phone show up on my gmail contacts as starred on android. So here is what im wondering: Does the phone only sync the contacts on my google account not all the contacts on my phone that i transfered for example from another phone

Your phone should sync each type of contacts seperatelty.
As for accounts and sync, tap on your google account and it'll open an another screen were you can choose (check) what you want to sync.
htc exchange, by going to accounts & sync > Add Account > Exchange ActiveSync.
This is only in case you have an Exchange Server to sync with.
I exchange email via Gmail only from my PC. I also have that same account setup on my phone (it is not used there), since Android requires it.
Since I do not want my Contacts/clients residing on Google's servers, I have Gmail sync turned off.
With Gmail sync turned off, can I now configure another non-Gmail email account, have it sync with my PC (direct via USB, Wi-Fi or Bluetooth), without these Contacts ending up on Google servers?
Hi,
Till now I am using Gmail to fetch my pop3 accounts and it is just perfect.
But it doesn't really syncing with WP.
The main question is, if I migrate my pop3 accounts from Gmail to Hotmail, is it will be possible (on my phone) to send emails from various accounts?
It will only be possible if you add the POP account's login info to your WP7 device.
as a separate mail account?
Correct. You don't really have to sync them, if you don't want to, but that will make sending replies pretty hard.
I did not understood..
How exactly I have to set the accounts?
The phone doesn't support custom FROM fields, so far as I know. You can sync your POP3 (people still use that?) accounts to the phone and reply from them, of course. If you get your POP3 accounts through Hotmail, they'll probably show up on the phone but the replies will appear to come from Hotmail.
OK, I see that here is no way to use just one inbox for now as Microsoft advertise Hotmail...
Sad because Gmail on Android works perfect, I wish here were also.
Well, you could certainly sync your POP3 accounts to the phone, and then merge the inboxes for them with your Hotmail or Gmail (or both) accounts. Then, it's a "one inbox" experience on the phone, certainly.
The main thing is not how they will look like on the phone.
For me is important to be in one place- gmail or hotmail..
My college (UCD) give us out a customised gmail account with our timetable, email and all on it. I had it synced with my old GS2 grand.
But now when i add the account to my phone it wont show up on my calendar even though it says it is synced. BTW my normal google account syncs fine.
Any suggestions? Thanks

Maybe because it's a shared calendar. So events are not created with your "customized gmail account", but with your college's and those events are shared with you. To sync every calendar, follow these steps. It works for me well.
another gmail Q

Google has removed calendar sync via ActuveSync.
Check out this post on the Outlook blog about using Outlook.com to check/send your Gmail account. This will let you use your existing email on your Windows Phone by adding only your Microsoft account to your phone, and you don't have to change your email address or anything. Also, I use my gmail address as my Microsoft account login, and it is fine. Your MS Account login can be any email you want.
