can't add new messaging / email account - General Questions and Answers

hi, just wondering whether anyone's had this annoying problem. it's windows mobile 6 and the problem is adding an email account. i had a previous email account linked to pop/smtp in which i could not edit account options, so i deleted the account. now, when i go to start -> programs -> messaging -> menu -> tools -> new account, nothing happens. i.e i cant add a new email messenging account. there's no error message...
can anyone assist?!

which device do you have?

an htc cruise.

How may messaging accounts do you have already? This includes SMS, MMS and the standard Outlook. There is a maximun number, think it's 7.

an active sms account. and the outlook and email sample ones which i dont use
so, 3 existing ones

Thats not it then, i have SMS and 5 email accounts and the option to add another is still there.

5???
thats a lot

2 domain based POP3, one Hotmail, one gmail and one mail2web. The penalty, i suppose, of having a split personality on line. I have a work related profile and a personal one.

Hehe, i also use 2 Gmails and 2 POP3.. and sometimes hotmail, messenger dependent.
anyways, try this:
delete whatever accounts you have on your device and delete any pc partnerships on your device. pair your device with your PC again and then try creating an account. if this doesn't work, i suggest creating a _setup.xml file which will be cabbed containing your email preferences. If the first solution doesn't work, let me know and i'll guide you thru creating that cab file.

many thanks again!

PushMail client

I have Qtek9000 with the latest JW ROM. I use the Outlook Mobile exchange PushMail. It works well, but I am wondering if there is any better PushMail client that I can use instead of Outlook? Now, I cannot receive Today notification if I recieve an e-mail which is filtered by Ruls to another than Inbox folder... I cannot open several e-mails simulteniously, there is no way to ask Read/Delivery confirmation, no way to change the current view of the Inbox and other e-mail forlder, .. the Sent items are sorted by "From" (i.e. my e-mail), not "to".. etc.
hhmm.. I am still trying to find any Push Mail client, but no success.... any ideas?

I will try it.. but as i read, it use activesync acount (there is no way to set up separate exchange server)... and in order to use it, I must keep both - default outlook mail and Flexmail, which is not so good).
If it is possible JW to make some changes in the Outlook Mail in order to be able to sort the e-mails by "TO" (there is only an option to sort them by "FROM"). I need it when looking at "Sent" items
I just mentioned this article: http://blogs.msdn.com/outlook_mobile/archive/2007/03/13/wm6-messaging.aspx and found the Outlook in JW ROM is a littje bit diferrent from the shown pictures! On my device I cannot find the menu for Exchange server searching... If the Outlook in JW ROM is the latest WM Outlook version?
Exchange Sync - strange problem!
Hi, I use PushMail on my PPC (Qyek9000, WM6) to sync with our company
Exchange Server 2003SP2. It worked fine till 01st May 2007, when I suddently
stopped recieving any e-mails/contacts/tasks from Exchange server to my PPC!
It is still connected, it found and synchronizes the Folder list (only), it
count the number of e-mails inside the inbox, but DOES NOT retrieve ANY
e-mails/contacts. It just shows me "0 items". At the same time, I can send
e-mails and if I change something on my PPC (ex.new Task/contact) it
synchronized on the Server and I can see it on my desktop Outlook.... The IT
guys checked the server, but nothing found! I have deleted and reinstalled my
PPC exchange mail settings, but the same problem. Please any idea how to
solve it. Thanks!
You can actually set your pushmail exchange email account to sync outside of your inbox:
On your device:
Goto Messaging
Outlook Email
Menu
Tools
Manage Folders
You'll see a folder browser.
Inbox is default synced
You can now enable more folders for synchronization (for example your sent items)
This way you can sync your inbox and a couple of your selection of folders for specific people

I can and I did it! But the problem is that I still not recieve any e-mails on my PPC. In fact, it synchronize one-way - from PPC-to Exchange server, but not vice versa! I can see the folder list, but it does not "send/push" amy e-mails... Last week it worked normally!
The IT guy
Mine is working great (I am the IT guy), Make sure that you have the correct certificate on your PDA, or ask you IT guy to give you the certificate and reinstall it.
Then make sure to try your account with and without SSL.
Good luck, let me know…

The certificate is fine but the problem stil. I tried another PPC - Nokia, with Symbian, but the same problem. The result is that I can synchronize ONEWAY only - from PPC to Exchange, but not vise versa (from Exchnage to PPC). The IT department guys cannot find any reason and do not know what to do. I suggest tham to restrat/reset the exchange server... but still waiting
Problem Solved
The problem is solved! The reason for the problem was the Exchange Server's antivirus software (McAfee). We had to switch the mail scanning from "on demant" to "background scanning". Now it works
Sound complicated.
I am using live.mail2web.com and receiving mail at Outlook and is ok. Just need to set the exchange address, thats all.

Gmail + WM6

I am using the default email software supplied with WM6 on my TMobile Wing to check my Gmail account. I didn't want to have an extra Java app installed just to check Gmail, as I am really low on program space.
I like how it works, except for one little thing - when I get my mail, it also downloads emails that I have SENT and puts them into my Inbox as if I had received it, or sent it to myself. How do I stop this? Is there any way to make the software stop downloading from the Sent folder on Gmail?
Thanks!
Are you using POP to access your gmail? In the POP settings on your gmail site you can create a filter to control which email is downloaded via POP, so you could probably create a filter which excludes sent email
Yep, POP3 access.
That sounds like just what I need. I'll check out the Gmail FAQ and see what I can find.
Thanks!

Ok I didn't see anything to fix that in the Gmail settings or FAQ. Blah. I may just access it via the webpage. I liked having the poutlook do it though. Oh well.
Hmm use EMOZE

You can easily create POP3 account in WM5 or WM6 and manually do send receive or you can setup intervals which pocket outlook will access your Gmail account. In fact in pocket outlook when you create new pop email account for Gmail the setting will be made automatically. You simply need to enter your email address and password
Anyhow before doing above you need to enable POP3 in Gmail Web.
acces your web gmail --> go to settings and enable the POP3 access. Under settings there is also a tab for email filtering in which you can define which mails should be forward to POP3
Furthermore If you wan to have push mail, you can apply for free http://mail2web.com account. It is free MS exchange service. Forward your Gmail's to your mail2web account and it will push it to your device. (it functions perfectly)
I think you guys are misunderstanding my problem.
I have it sending/receiving manually, and it works just fine.
The problem is if I send a message at home on my computer, then I get my Wing and access my mail, it downloads the message I sent from my sent folder onto my phone, as if it were in my inbox.
What exactly is "pushing" btw?

RVM,
as I mentioned go to settings in your gmail web account there is the tab of filters. Then create a filter with your email
i.e:
from : [email protected]
Pushmail is similar to blackberry email, email that comes to your inbox will be pushed (send) to your hand device. You save manualy checking your inbox.
That's what I did. I went into filters and there was no option to have it not allow the sent mail to be downloaded via a POP3 client. I may have missed something so I will go have another look.

Unusable Outlook accounts after Hard reset

After a hard reset, I have to setup my email accounts. However, I am unable to use the account names I used before. Furthermore, applications that can read your emails will show these accounts even though they are not usable and not setup in Outlook. Does anyone know where I can delete these accounts completely and reuse the account names?
Thanks.
I have done a search, but I did not see any solutions only the same issue.

Are you really sure Hardreset was successful??? it seams to me the device has still previous data
Pretty sure. It reloads Windows Mobile, does the screen calibration, and then loads up.
hard reset is format. it is impossible that email accounts stay there are you hard reset unless there's some automatic setting of email accounts you've been using or that the rom contains those email accounts..
if the application used to read your mail was in your storage card, this maybe why it still reads the email accounts.

I fully agree with nir36.. if you have used before flexmail and you have stored emails on your memory card then you will have such case as you do.
you can define new email accounts or define the old ones in Messaging in windows mobile..
then it will coordinate with your mail application
I don't use any external mail application. Only an application shell like PointUI. Someone suggested SKTools to delete the accounts that aren't really there any longer. However, you have to pay for SKTools. Does anyone know of a similar application or even better what SKTools does to delete those accounts?
something doesn't add up here...
email accounts can be deleted through messaging... you don't need sktools for that.

I believe the person mean to delete any Message database that might left.. Again if you have hard reseted definitely there should be no traces of Mail Database left over.
However first would you please tell us your device and the ROM that you are using. furthermore Regarding creating new Email Account.. Please take out your memory card.. soft reset and without the card inside you try to create the emial account that you were not able to create. Please let us know what result you got

[Q] How to sync emails from PC with Android phone (Galaxy S)?

Hey folks,
I'm sorry this is probably a n00b question but I would like to sync my emails from my PC with my phone.
On the PC I use thunderbird to download all emails (got like 6 email accounts) to the pc and delete them from the server immidiately. (I've had accounts beeing hacked in the past because I left password emails etc in my inbox, so I started to delete them from server instead of leaving them on for more security - so I can't just "download them again" from the phone - I will need to sync the phone with the data from the PC. I could switch my email client program off course if thats needed, but I rather not let the messages lay somewhere online.
Can someone maybe explain to me how that would work or give me a link or smth?
It would be perfect if it would work both sides: Either I sync the phone with the PC or the PC with the phone, or a real sync where just the new emails get exchanged. (On the same time I'd also get this to work for my laptop but phone more important now since i got it heh)
I hope someone can help me.
you can't sync with EVERY email client..
it does sync with outlook/OE... I don't know about thunderbird tho. What you CAN try to do is change the settings to never delete emails from your server when downloaded to your computer and then sync so that when you delete them from your phone they'd be deleted from the server.
get my drift?
hmm well im used to thunderbird, but i dont have to keep using it necessarily. I'd change if it makes this whole syncing easier. Its been bugging me for a while that I didnt have my emails on my laptop but now i also need em on the phone.. so I wanna finally get this to work.
The method you described wouldnt work if I somehow download the emails to the phone first instead of the pc, it would work like u described, but if I'd rather work it in both ways, a real "sync".
With outlook you could do this yea?
Try using Gmail or Windows Live mail, its more compatabile with most wireless. Goto m.live.com or Gmail
well, if you use gmail you can easily keep it on both your computer and your phone and it would sync both ways.
Get a gmail account. Then forward all your email accounts to the gmail account. You can also set the gmail account to send out as one of the other accounts.
Setup the gmail account as an imap client in thunderbird or outlook. Create a folder under the inappropriate account named old emails or whatever. Move the emails stored in your local folders to the folder setup under the imap account (you can do it directly to the inbox if you prefer).
Setup gmail on your mobile device.
Say thanks.

Cleaner Explanation.
1) Create a Gmail account at Gmail.com (or skip this step if you already have one).
2) Log into the web versions of each of your email accounts. Set the account to forward all emails to the new gmail account address (typically these settings are found under the settings or Options menu somewhere on the page). If you would like to continue to use these accounts you can either:
a) Give Gmail permission to send emails as all the accounts or one in particular. (Note once in the mobile apps, you cannot choose different sender addresses, only the default one. You can however change from each address on the web interface).​ b) Set a forwarder and then specify to leave a message on the server.​
3) Setup the gmail account you created as an IMAP account (use IMAP not SMTP) in thunderbird or Outlook.
a) You can find the Imap settings for desktop clients here.​
4) Once the initial sync is complete, simply drag and drop the emails from the old inbox to the Gmail account's inbox (listed in a tree menu under the IMAP.Gmail.Com listing.
5) You can now set up this email address as a SMTP or IMAP (IMAP keeps the emails on the server. This is a better idea in some cases as you have exact copies of emails on all devices you set them up as.
6) Say thanks
You can also manually do this for each email account you have, but that would take much longer and some companies do not allow or simply haven't moved to using IMAP yet (freaky right?).
Using the gmail way, you have all your emails from all your accounts plus the wonders of google. This is the easiest way to do it I can think of.
I hope my explanation is clean and clear.
thanks for the detailed explanation I guess I'll do it that way.
But the downside that you have to keep the mails on the server still stays this way. I'd really love the option to do a real sync how you expect a sync to be but I guess thats complicated or doesnt work?
I mean like.. when I'm at home .. I download the mails from my desktop pc over usb or wlan. Then I download new emails while I'm travelling or smth - and when I get back home I sync my desktop with the phone emails.
This must work somehow? I'd really hate to have to leave my emails on the server since I got bad experience with this.
I guess I'm just beeing paranoid - but I'm also perfectionist heh, so I'd love to try n get it going "the perfect way" - aka a real offline sync without usage of any server storage. (unless you count my desktop as a server..)
If you setup the system to use smtp on the phone it will dowbload the email, other than that i would suggest using a very good password.

[Q] Adding HOTMAIL account on Galaxy S6

Hi all.
I've had just about every Galaxy flagship phone in the Samsung series and am certainly not a stranger on setting up accounts.
I have 2 hotmail.com email accounts, a business and personal. I tried setting up my personal entering details correctly and I get "authentication failed" ... Hmm, that's strange. I jump on a PC and CONFIRM the password I used was indeed correct. I tried setting up the account manually (POP3) which wasn't a problem, however the device has absolutely no interest trying to connect to my account and sync. It keeps telling me the OP3 server is not responding. Sorry Samsung, but I call bull****. It's like this any day of any week, too...
I have tried changing my password on the PC to something else. I then re-attempted the email set-up and received the same error...authentication failed. Now, google, gmail, yahoo, aol accounts (etc) ALL work fine. With absolutely NO explanation WHY this won't work and zero help from the internet or anyone else experiencing the same problem, I decide to try the OTHER hotmail account...enter the details and BOOM. It worked. So why in the blue f**king hell does ONE work and NOT the other?! Props to Samsung, they've really f*cked something up here - coz this has never been a problem on any phone I've used in the past.
Anyone have any ideas?
The device is running stock ROM and is rooted (problem also existed before root)

i gave up adding all my email accounts , on the phones last yr now I just use my gmail and for my other 2 email aco****s I forward them to gmail then when sending emails in gmail I can select which account I want to send from.
I had no problem adding a hotmail account. Are you trying to add them in Android's "Accounts" section, or to the Outlook app?

Like anyone does it - adding through the default email app on the phone...or settings - accounts - email - add new
Download the Exchange Services apk and install it. Reboot and then add the Hotmail account as an Exchange account in Gmail.
Do you kneed also the E-Mail APK from Google? If i install only the Exchange APK, i didnt see a additional Exchange Account in the Accounts Section of the Settings, if i try to add a new Account. Only the one which come preinstalled.

solution found for email setup (Hotmail)
I had problems setting up my Hotmail on the S6. The password it wanted was not my usual Hotmail login but an "app" password. I changed my Outlook/Hotmail password on a PC and then it sent me an email alerting me that I needed to update my "app" passwords with "fhrkdjfruofjrdlfl" (example) and then it easily connected Hotmail to my S6 using the standard email setup menus. Hope that helps somebody.
