Can I check outlook email directly from my Touch Pro / Raphael?

Can I check outlook email directly from my mobile?
Was trying to search in this forum and also did some googleing, but can find any...
Does anyone know -> "Can I check outlook email directly from my mobile?"
I'm synchronizing with my PC outlook (company's POP3 email) with my Touch Pro, most of the time I always let's my PC downloads all the email and sync it to my mobile and only check it when I have time (at Touch Pro). I've found this button (pls refer to the pic attached) and thinking maybe Touch Pro can use its internet connection (3G/WiFi/etc) to check the "outlook email"* as well? Does anyone knows can this be done or this button is just for 'display' purpose? Or there's other way for me to get this done?

* I mean Outlook Email that able to sync with PC in the end, not POP3/Hotmail email feature.

You need to set up a pop account with your outlook email settings. This will give you 2 accounts on the phone Outlook and the pop of it. in activesync set it up to delete the pop email when connected to the pc to stop the doubleup of emails

I believe you may be thinking of "direct push mail" technology. You can set up your outlook account through an online exchange server (mail2web.com for example) and it should automatically "push" your email to your phone.
Obviously, it takes some time to set up and I don't know all the details about your email setup.
Hope this points you in the right direction.

What company/ISP are you using, one thing to bare in mind is most carriers (in the UK at least) use their own smtp server, so when you set up your account on your Touch Pro and you find you cant "send" emails, it will more than likley be because of this.

just set it up in messaging
start -> messaging -> Setup Email
follow the prompts

Send calendar invites via IMAP not activesync

Hi
I don't know if its possible by I need to send calendar invites via IMAP as I never use activesync (I sync via SyncML with our server for contact/tasks/calendar).
All calendar invites are always put in the activesync outbox. Is there anyway to re-direct them to the IMAP account I have set up? Is there another mail application I should be using?
Thanks
Jonathan

Am i mistaken assuming that calendar invites are sent thru mail using the first connection your device can find?
Aren't calendar invites regular emails with different scripts?

They always seem to end up in the outlook email outbox - even though this is the third mailbox in the list.

i tried it myself and apparently there isn't even an option to move it to another account.. only accepts the outlook account itself. maybe WM doesn't support sending invites to attendees thru anything other than AS...
I suggest you change the thread's topic to [REQ] Mail Invite Attendees...
or something of that sort.. I'm almost positive someone would answer.

Calendar > Menu (right Softkey) > Tools > Options > Appointments (Tab) Send Meeting request via:
select your email account

stupid me. didn't think to check there.
lol
good thinkin

thats strange! oO

Thanks very much

Ok, so invites now go from my IMAP account fine but the details are being messed up somewhere.
I created an appointment for today 12:00 - 13:00 and sent the invitation to my wife who is using XP, Office 2003 SP3. When she got it it said the meeting was 10:30-10:30.
Both my HTC Touch HD and wife's PC are set to GMT and regionally to UK
I'm confused. What have I not got set right?

I don't know if this problem still exists, but there used to be a problem with outlook in which if the outlook time settings didn't match the pc's time settings it made all appointments change.
go to outlook and search for the time settings.. check that it's not syncing your appointments with a server or something.

[Q] [request] Calendar with flexible time entry?

Each and every Android calendar app I tried has the same problem, which is summarized in this picture:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The problem: I can't find any calendar that let's me set reminders the way I want them.
Example: to be on time for a meeting at 9.00 I have to wake up at 7.45, so I want to set a reminder alarm to wake me up 1h15 before the meeting.
In my old Symbian calendar I'd simply set the meeting at 9.00 and the alarm at 7.45.
But in Android's calendar I can't enter the reminder time. It only lets me choose between 1 hour before (too late) or 2 hours before (too early).
The only app that lets you set a custom reminder time is Pocket Informant. Unfortunately Pocket Informant is an unfinished product, and the betas expire soon after you install them.
What makes the limited number of reminder options in all the calendar apps totally ridiculous is that you can set the exact number of minutes in google's online calendar. Zero minutes, 4 hours, 666 minutes, the calendar on google.com/calendar lets you enter anything you like.
Therefore each and every calendar app based on google could have an option to set a custom number of minutes/hours (like pocket informant). Moreover, all these apps could also offer time entry the symbian way. They only need to calculate the number of minutes between the time you enter and the start time of the appointment so that you don't have to do the maths yourself.
So the problem is not google's calendar. The programs that interact with google's calendar are just incomplete. A few extra lines of code would do the job.
Is there anyone who could make a calendar (or modify one of the existing calendar apps) that will let you set any number of minutes in the reminder field? Even better: just enter a time (like 7.45) and let the app do the maths for you (i.e. 9.00 minus 7.45 is 75 minutes).

When I scroll all the way down for a reminder there is an option for "custom". Maybe this is just for my phone, the Samsung Intercept. I remember reading something somewhere that the calendar they used was modified a bit but I'm not completely sure.

Could you post a copy the .apk of your samsung calendar? Maybe it will work on my Motorola too? Thanx!

I miss that feature so much too!
I've browsed AppBrain site to find something but found absolutely nothing.
This is not the solution but if you have a really important event for which you need a reminder you could add the event as a Task in Gtask. It allows to schedule customized reminders.

Suggestion of a useful application

Executive Assistant (EA) provides an all-in-one interface for quickly reviewing your:
+ Email: any combination of GMail, Google Apps, or POP/IMAP accounts. Exchange too if you use a supported email client. See below for a list of supported clients.
+ Text messages: both native and Google Voice, including pop-up and reply options
+ Missed calls: return calls directly from the app
+ Calendar events (including Exchange & Facebook if supported by your phone)
+ Tasks: Astrid, Google Tasks Organizer (lite & pro), Got To Do, GTasks by Dato, ToDo Task Manager (lite or pro), or TouchDown
+ Google Reader
+ Twitter timeline
+ Facebook news
Use in any of 3 modes:
+ Lock Screen: Use as a lock screen replacement to preview all of your stuff without going thru the hassle of unlocking the phone. You choose which info is safe to show on the lock screen.
+ Welcome Screen: Instant-on immediately after unlocking the phone. Don't pattern lock your phone? Give this mode a try for instant access to all your stuff.
+ Home Screen Widget: 'always on' interface wherever you want it. Use a full-widget that includes a preview area, or a single-row, icons-only widget that simply shows the app icons with counts. Many sizes to choose from. Optionally use a Sense-like or Glass theme for the full-widget.
Full-widgets are scrollable for Android 3.0 & later, and for any launcher that supports version 2 of the scrollable widgets extension, such as: ADW, Launcher+, Go and Zeam (but not Launcher Pro since it uses version 1).
In every mode: launch apps, return missed calls, dial voicemail (or optionally choose to launch Google Voice, Visual Voicemail or any other voicemail app).
Reply to SMS messages directly from the Welcome Screen or Lock Screen, without unlocking (if you enable this option).
Host your favorite widgets & shortcuts on lock or welcome screen.
The background image will be the same as your home screen wallpaper (including live wallpapers). Customize the color and transparency of the text displays in all modes. Optionally select custom icons for the tabs.
Supported POP/IMAP clients: Enhanced Email, K9 and Kaiten Mail
You don’t need to use a supported client to access POP/IMAP accounts in EA, however, if you do, then EA can access your messages directly from the on-device database, without having to fetch them over your data connection. Also, tapping a message in EA will open it in the corresponding app.
If you don’t want to use one of the supported email clients, then you can use EA’s free POP/IMAP add-on to fetch your messages from your mail server (EA will install it for you if you decide to use it).

will try soon..
thanks for share

Question How do I get Outlook's calendar to be visible on Samsung Calendar? (Exchange is throwing errors)

Hello
How do I get my Outlook calendar to appear on my my Samsung Calendar (on my Samsung S22 Ultra, which is running Android 13)?
Background
I am using Outlook /Office365 on my Windows10 PC.
I am also using the Microsoft Outlook app on my S22 Ultra.
If I go to Android's Settings ==> Accounts and Backup ==> Manage accounts ==> johnsmith@johnsmith.com/Exchange ==> Sync account /Sync on for all items... then I get this error message.

I have tried uninstalling & the reinstalling ALL Microsoft apps, including Outlook, Microsoft 365 (Office), OneDrive, Authenticator etc.
Removing the account and then re-adding it back in doesn't get rid of the above errors.
It looks like Exchange itself on my phone is corrupted.
What should I do?

PS If all else fails, is there a way of backing up ALL my data, doing a factory reset, and then reinstalling everything?

Have you just given away your email ID in the post? If so, delete it.
I see that you have added your Microsoft account to your Gmail app. Is that correct?
Is your email syncing fine?
I add my Microsoft account to my Gmail by creating an app password in my Microsoft account and use that in the password field:
Domain/ Username is same as your email address.
All my calendar entries in Microsoft account automatically show up in my Google Calendar, which would also show up in my Samsung Calendar (even though I don't use it).
All your Microsoft account data like emails, contacts, calendar entries are saved in your Microsoft account in the cloud. You don't have to back them up manually.
There is nothing wrong with your phone.

Do you have a gmail e-mail account or an outlook one? If it's the latter another easier way is to keep your outlook separate and just choose it from the manage your accounts setting and just synch your outlook calander right there. I use the samsung calander app to access my outlook calander and go from there.

No, I hate Google's violation of our privacy!
So no, I don't want to use google more than I absolutely have to.
[ Yes, I have a gmail email address - which i barely use, and I only have it because I have an Android phone.]
To get clear, I want to only use Microsoft and not Google.

On your screenshot, you have added your Exchange account to Gmail app, isn't it?

Hi, do you have a two step password verification enabled in your Outlook account, like authorizing use the Authenticator app or something alike? This could be preventing the calendar to be added.

I had the same problem. There is a toggle where you enable it in the email settings.
Let me see if i can find it again.
