I am trying to set up my college student email account, which is hosted by google Gmail, on my dash running WM6.
The email address is "myname"@students.kennesw.edu
I tried the same pop settings as my gmail account, incoming server pop.gmail.com : outgoing server smtp.gmail.com. I also tried the server settings as pop.students.kennesaw.edu and smtp.students.kennesaw.edu.
When i try to connect to the email account from the phone i get an error to check the account name and the password. They are both correct but it will not connect. It gives me an error that it can not connect.
Any help with how to set it up is appreciated. I have my personal Gmail set up on the same phone and it works fine and i have my school address forwarding to that email but i can not reply from that address.
Thanks
I'm not sure about this but it might be students.kennesaw.edu for both POP and SMTP
have u tried using ur email addy as username, and smtp should be that or your mobile carrier

Google's response
Hello,
Thank you for your report.
Configuring POP access for your Google Apps email account is very similar
to configuring it in Gmail. However, any time you're asked for your
username during the configuration process, you'll need to enter your full
email address, including your domain ([email protected]_domain.com). All other
settings are the same.
However, please note that we haven't been able to test POP access with
your mail client yet, but we're working to make our service compatible
with as many mail clients as possible. We look forward to announcing
additional compatibilities in the future.
Sincerely,
The Google Team
yup, me too
I'm having the same problem, also with students.kennesaw.edu. Love to see more info

So, I have a FlexMail 4 for my HTC TyTN II (actually AT&T Tilt, if that makes a difference), and I was wondering if it could be integrated with TouchFlo, TouchFlo 2d or Manila.
My issues:
1) There's no way to do TouchFlo scrolling in FlexMail. Is there a registry tweak that can fix this?
2) Currently, TouchFlo 2d still uses Pocket Outlook. Would there be a way to change it to use FlexMail?
GMail, Hotmail, Exchange, Newsgroups, and RSS all on the same Windows Mobile (WM5 and up) reader, with HTML, links, & attachments all working.
It is not a new reader- it’s qmail (qmail3) version 3.0.7. I am not an expert, and don’t have a clue as to all of the filter settings and crap that you can do with it, but I did figure out how to get all of the above working in ONE PROGRAM! Below are the workarounds and settings that I discovered.
I previously used Qusnetsoft reader for NNTP and RSS and Flexmail 4 for email. I was unhappy with the Flexmail viewer (no touch scrolling; scroll bar with stylus only) and email navigation from open mail to folders a bit of a pain. Qusnetsoft took too long to sync (nice interface though). I had used QMail3 before and liked it, but still use Hotmail and was bummed by MSN no longer supporting POP.
First… Download QMail (http://handheld.softpedia.com/get/Internet-Utilities/Email/QMAIL-8837.shtml) for WM.
Then, for each account, In QMail, <Menu<Tool<Account<Add Account
GMAIL
Name=Gmail (or whatever)
Class=mail
Incoming=POP3 (or IMAP, but I’ll cover POP3 settings)
Outgoing=SMTP Then tap “OK”
In General Tab…
Incoming=pop.gmail.com
Outgoing=smtp.gmail.com
Name=your name
Address=your email
Reply-To=your email
In User Tab…
Username=your Gmail Login Name

In Details Tab…
Incoming mail Port=995

All other Settings are fine or adjust at your discretion.
HOTMAIL
First off, if you are not living in the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, France, Japan, Spain, Germany, Italy, or the Netherlands (Where MSN has made POP for hotmail available again) you’ll need to change your location in Windows Live or Hotmail to reflect that you now live in one of those places. The site I used for these settings is http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/...and-smtp-support-instantly-for-all-countries/ Once this is done, the Qmail settings are as follows…
Name=Hotmail (or whatever)
Class=mail
Incoming=POP3
Outgoing=SMTP Then tap “OK”
In General Tab…
Incoming=pop3.live.com
Outgoing=smtp.live.com
Name=your name

All other Settings are fine or adjust at your discretion.
Exchange
Not all exchange servers will work this way- your admin must have access enabled. I work for a school district and they have a web interface. Here are the QMail settings that get me in.
Name=Work (or whatever)
Class=mail
Incoming=POP3
Outgoing=SMTP Then tap “OK”
In General Tab…

Outgoing=NNTP Then tap “OK”
In General Tab… (Check with your service provider for NNTP access settings- here’s some for AT&T)
Incoming=news.sf.sbcglobal.net

All other Settings are fine or adjust at your discretion.
RSS
Name=RSS (or whatever)

Incoming=RSS
Outgoing=Blog Then tap “OK”
Then tap “OK” and Then tap “OK” again
Select RSS from drop-down menu, tap-and-hold in the blank white space and select Subscribe to Feed…
Enter Feed Site eg. www.npr.org Tap Next
The Name should auto select (if you are connected to the internet). Tap “OK”
All other Settings are fine or adjust at your discretion.
I use an HTC Kaiser (AT&T Tilt) w/cooked diamond rom 6.1 and I don’t have a data plan- I have WIFI at home @ work, so I needed something that could load everything onto my device for offline viewing when out-n-about. If you open a message then tap ok, then <Menu<Edit<Select All then tap-and-hold any off the messages, select <Mark<Mark Download, then do a Sync or Roundup again (you can find these by tapping and holding icons on the bottom toolbar) you can download full emails/news articles/etc. Hope this helps someone

if i go into emails it downloads them no problem, next time i go into emails it deletes the ones already there, yet i don't receive these emails on my PC either .Why is it deleting them and is there any way to stop it
Are you using the GMail client or the other one ("Email")?
If the latter, are you using POP/IMAP, or Exchange? If it's not Exchange, I'd suggest you embrace your GMail account - you can configure it to collect email from other accounts - and use the GMail app. This has the extra advantages that you have a central contacts list, and can view your emails on any computer with a browser too.
use the other email and its a pop account ,so are you saying use g mail and set up my pop account on there, already have my g mail account set up on the email appr
There is most likely a setting to remove the mail off the server when you pull it into the app, thus deleting it off your regular mail server, and why you aren't seeing it on your pc. I'd poke around the settings a bunch and see what is up.

I set up a few POP accounts in the appropriate client, but I think the only 'delete/remove from server' option was only when emails were deleted locally. I'm not sure about the default behavior - whether it is 'download and remove from server' or just 'download a copy and leave on server'.
checking in the client settings, it's under Incoming Settings, and the options are only
"Delete email from server -"
and the two options are 'When I delete from Inbox' or 'never'.
That tells me the client should NOT be removing/deleting emails from the server except possibly when you delete a mail from the inbox. IIRC, the default setting was 'never'.
Combat, do you perhaps have a client running on a computer somewhere that may be periodically checking and removing the mail from the server? This is a common thing with email servers - someone leaves an email program running on a computer which is set to download and remove mail from the server... then the mail doesn't show up on their phone.
Incoming setting were set as never delete mail from server so unchecked it and rechecked it again ill see what happens

There's probably a setting in the Email app for leaving mail on the server, but personally I get my GMail account to pick up mail for all my POP accounts.
You can configure GMail (through the web interface) so that you can send emails out as if from your other accounts too.
For example, if someone emails me at [email protected] then it gets picked up by my Gmail account. If I then hit reply, GMail will use [email protected] as the 'from' address. If I reply to an email sent to my gmail.com address, the reply will come from my gmail.com address.
So you don't have to mess around with 2 different apps, you have all your email in one place, accessible from anywhere, with a single contacts list. Win/Win.
I have added the account to the default e-mail client (POP3, it is a custom domain, not a provided such as Hotmail or Gmail) but there appears to be no option to sync all e-mails to the device.
Within the e-mail Account Settings, I get:
General settings
Account name
Your name
Signature
Inbox check frequency
Default account
Notification settings
Email notifications
Select ringtone
Server settings
Incoming settings
Username
Password
POP3 server
Security type
Port
Delete email from server
Outgoing settings
STMP server
Security type
Port
Require sign-in
Username
Password
Remove account
Remove account
Any ideas?
I don't know the specifics of your server, but generally the POP3 protocol only transfers NEW messages, it doesn't sync the whole mailbox. For that, you may want to use a IMAP server.
I have a personal Honor 8 device I use to access my company email. They use Duo Mobile software to authenticate before allowing this.
After upgrading to Nougat 7.0, I am unable to access email (using the Outlook app). I get a message saying that I need full disk encryption turned on. I don't see this as an option anywhere in my Settings. I do have a strong password set to be used.
Do I need to enable File Based encryption at this stage? I am trying to do this and do not see the option to convert to File Based encryption even after turning on Developer Options by the way.
Has anybody else run into this issue? Any guidance - I am dead in the water without being able to access my email.
Thx
AK
I remember I had a problem with my e-mail but I'm not 100% certain that it was the same issue. But try to remove all your screen locks including finger print and try again.

Thanks for the response. However in order to enable Corporate Email, Outlook asks for a password to be in place. Therefore I cannot remove all screen locks.
The problem seems to be that the authenticating software (Duo Mobile) is looking for two things on the device. One is that full disk encryption is explicitly enabled. The other is that the setting to "Require password at Startup" is enabled. Neither of these options are availalble on the Honor 8. Their support says that encryption is on by default and therefore there is no setting for it.

Further, I looked at turning on the new File Based Encryption that is part of Nougat. There are how-to's that discuss this, where you have to turn on Developer Options to do so. However, on the Honor 8, even after turnin on Developer Options, there is no option to "Convert to File Based encryption" available. If you search in Settings, it shows this option, but upon clicking on that option from the Settings Search results, it just takes you into Developer Options and there is no setting to enable File Based encryption.
Nvm this, poor reading comprehension on my part
I have no issues using Gmail's Exchange client to connect to my corporate email. It sounds like it's not a Nougat or Android problem, it's a Duo Mobile problem
I had the same problem.
Switched to the app Nine. It is a one-time purchase and its security model is app-wide instead of device-wide.
Have you tried it yet?

The company whose email I need to get to has only enabled Outlook as a client - therefore using other email clients (such as the Gmail app) is not an option unfortunately.

To the best of my knowledge as long as you have the correct server credentials, you can use any client. For example, my credentials:
Server: subdomain.website.com
Domain\Username: test\Telperion
Port: 443
Security type: SSL/TLS
I can connect using Gmail's Exchange client, Outlook for Android, Nine, native Huawei email client, etc. While everyone's setup is different, if you're able to log in using the Outlook client, theoretically there's nothing to prevent you from using the same credentials in a different client.
That was my not my experience.
My company's Outlook server is configured to require device-level encryption for mobile devices with complex passwords. On my Nexus 6p, Outlook for Android did not work, with the error that it "did not support the encryption required". Also, I could not use fingerprint authentication on the device, and required a 8-digit unlock code. Not just for Outlook, mind you -- any time I wanted to unlock the phone.
OWA (Outlook Web App) for Android worked fine, but it supports neither push nor notifications, rendering it utterly useless. OWA is, as far as I can tell, just a shell containing an HTML rendering engine that reflows the web app.
The only reason CloudMagic (and potentially Nine) worked for me is that CloudMagic (and I think Nine) have device-level encryption on their server (?). The end-user provides credentials for their server to log in, download the email, and act as an intermediary.

When adding my corporate exchange email to Gmail, Gmail is activated as a device administrator with permissions to:
Erase all data
Set password rules
Monitor screen-unlock attempts
Lock the screen
Set lock-screen password expiration
Set storage encryption
Disable cameras
I'm not using webmail, I'm using Exchange ActiveSync. Device policy forces me to have a lock screen pin or password, but I can still fingerprint unlock it. It sounds as if your respective Exchange servers aren't configured properly, because all of the security that they're requiring can be mandated through ActiveSync and Gmail's device administration service.

Is Exchange ActiveSync different from Office 365's Exchange?
When I asked IT about local ActiveSync, they said that they don't support it, just Office 365 on Shibboleth.
Then again, I couldn't get a Chromebook to connect to the WiFi network here due to some misconfiguration in their Cisco router's PEAP setup, so I wouldn't be surprised.

Different back end, same capabilities. Exchange ActiveSync is a site-hosted server, Office 365 is a cloud-hosted version. On a local Exchange server, your IT department will have set up a local domain and you will have a user account in Active Directory (domain\Telperion). In Office 365, your user account is your email address ([email protected]) and there is no domain mapped that you have to configure. Once you know this, you can piece together the way to configure it.
The biggest challenge is that IT typically won't mess around with supporting mobile device configuration ("I don't know Android"), and Microsoft tutorials don't give clear instructions ("I don't know Android"). Android tutorials say "I don't know Microsoft" so you end up having to piece things together from multiple sources online.
See attached tutorial, it's very easy once you know what to do.
Add new account from device Accounts menu
Choose 'Exchange' with the Gmail logo
Enter your corporate email address, don't hit next, hit "Manual Setup"
Choose 'Exchange' as the account type
Make sure your email is entered in "domain\username" field
Enter password
Server for Office 365 is "outlook.office365.com"
Port 443
Set security to "SSL/TLS"
From there it should handle all the rest of the configuration.

Thanks. Tried Nine. Works the same way as Outlook so far. In other words, setting its policy to only apply to the app doesn't make a difference in how Duo Mobile (the two factor authentication checker) continues to insist the device be encrypted and have the setting "Require password on startup" be turned on.

Thanks for the detailed message. Tried the above.
When I left the server be the default server name (derived from my email address), I got a "Certificate is not valid" error. I had "None" as the certificate.
After I changed the server name to be outlook.office365.com as mentioned in your instructions above, I now get a "Can't connect to server" message.
I did recheck my steps. Not sure why Gmail fails to connect. Any suggestions on where to look?

I checked the settings for Outlook Web on my PC and it is an Office 365 account. I updated by Gmail settings to match (Server: outlook.office365.com, Port: 993 and Security: SSL/TLS although on the PC it was just TLS). Get a message saying "Couldn't open connection to server".
