outlook is POINTLESS!!

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.

Yahoo mail app

Anyone know how i can sync my yahoo mail account (yahoo mail app) to my phone ????

Hi,
1. you can install the "Yahoo! Mail for Android" app from the Android Market (it's free). It works well and gives you full access to your contacts & folders, which I find very handy. You can move mails into your folders and they will sync with your main account.
2.you could create a mail account directly on your phone by running the app "Setup" and following the prompts or
3. Menu / Settings / Accounts & sync / Add account and follow the prompts.
For me no. 1 is best. Btw this is for a HTC Desire with standard ROM on V2.2,
Hope this helps. Cheers .....

I agree, the Yahoo Mail app works pretty good. The only downside is that even though it knows when you get new mail, it doesn't download it or update the folder views until you open that folder, so there's a lot of your time wasted while it refreshes the folder.

K9 mail surely works for Yahoo, as it does for any IMAP or POP provider.

Can someone upload or send a link to the latest Yahoo! Mail apk. I found version 1.0.1 online but it now tells me that I have to have a required update to v1.0.4. Unfortunately, my tablet doesn't have full market access (yet!). Thanks in advance.

+1 for K9, I have it fetching my Yahoo, Hotmail and doing Push for my multiple Gmail accounts. Does folder/labels too.

Sure, but it doesn't support the "push" part. You have to check the Yahoo mail manually. It sux big time, if ya ask me...
I've tried every possible setting (servers/ports/encryption) but you still have to check manually. *sigh*

[Q] HTC Sensation Email app - Push emails?

Hi,
i just noticed that the default HTC Email app on the sensation, in all its awesomeness, doesn't push emails to my device. it refreshes every 5 minutes or so.
is there any way to push emails ?
Im using a gmail account.
thanks

Turn your google mail sync off then back on again, and ensure your sync is always running, that is as best push you will get.

Pushmail doesn't work on WIFi for me with the stock apps.

I use Advanced Email. Very good app and you can also access folders which i have set up on hotmail

Where can I get this? You mentioned it once in one of my threads, and I've been trying to get it, but it's not on the market and Google didn't help me either.

so there is no way to get push emails on the default HTC app?

SOLVED.
I created a microsoft Exchange account with my gmail address and now emails are pushed!
thanks

You can also get hotmail emails pushed What you do is create a new Exchange/Active sync account. put in your hotmail address and password and click manual set up. Then in the username field make sure it's your full email address. in the server field type m.hotmail.com (even if it's a @live account) and you will be able to get your hotmail pushed. My school uses live mail for it's student mail and I get push email for that as well using the same method.
for yahoo there is a yahoo mail app that pushes your yahoo mail just like the gmail app.

Sorry mate its Enhanced Email, stupid predictive text

Hi
Is there anyway to speed the time the mail is sent to the phone from the time it is received by the service provider (that is like Hotmail or POP)
i have found it takes 30mins or more sometimes for the mail to reach my phone and it has been received by hotmail.
can anyone give me some advice on how to make this time shorter.
i am running RCMix3D Runny v3.3 on my inspire 4G
best regards

Most e-mail clients allow to adjust how often it queries the e-mail servers. It sounds like your client is using the default setting of 30 minutes or something. You'll have to go into the settings and adjust the "Check for e-mail every x minutes" setting.
If you want to receive Hotmail in realtime, you'll have to use the official Hotmail app in the Market.

X2 on the hotmail app, it works great. Also I found with the stock mail app when you delete messages it won't delete them off the server, the hotmail app does it instantly

How do you have hotmail setup? I have it setup as an exchange account in the default mail app and everything works instantly (receiving messages, deleting messages (which are also deleted from server), etc). I usually have it set to only sync every 15 minutes to save battery, but when set to push it works instantly.
server address: m.hotmail.com
username: full email address
Server requires SSL

This is what I have done and it is working great. Go to your email provider (Hotmail, POP3, whatever it may be) and set it to forward all your emails to your Gmail address (you do have a Gmail address, right?). Use the Gmail app on you phone and your emails will get pushed to you instantly. You can also set your Gmail account to use your other email address for replies and forwards, so it looks like it's coming from the original address and not Gmail.

Thanks for the excellent info people i really didnot know there was a hotmail app. but it was setup for every 30 minis. i have changed it to 5 mins cause thats the lowest i saw. i also want to find out about the the download messages which is set to 200. does this mean that the phone will only download 200 messages "per day"?
1 last final question which i am curious about. i have other folders created in my hotmail such as sent and drafts etc. usual folders is it possible to sync these folders with my phone inorder that my hotmail account will be in sync with my phone.
sometimes i use my computer to send out mails as well as my phone. but i cant sync the sent folder. please bear in mind i have not installed the hotmail app.
however i will try it as soon as i am finished sending this post.
thanks again people for your kind support.

thanks for the idea i did think of that option however i get alot of mail from gmail as well as hotmail and did not want them all mixed up. i am not sure if i can create a folder for hotmail in my gmail account and just push all the mail into that folder. its something i have thought about just have not tried it cause my emails have my work in them and i cant afford to mess them up.
best regards

You can try playing around with the settings in Gmail. I know they have fileters that you can set. I haven't tried it personally but I imagine you could set it to put the emails you forward from your other accounts into specific folders.

Try out K-9 off the Android Market
You'll never turn back. Fully customizable (potentially overwhelming).

Create a filter in Gmail for your hotmail account and add a label named "hotmail", then forward to your Gmail account. Check sync "hotmail" folder in Gmail app. settings

[Q] Old email keeps showing as unread email

I have 3 email accounts. Hotmail, Yahoo and Gmail. With my Hotmail account, I'll go in and read my email. Then when I get a new email, all the email I read weeks ago is now showing as unread. So instead of the email app showing I only have 1 new email, which is true, it shows I have over 10 new emails.... which in fact are just really old emails.
This only does it with my Hotmail account. I have it set to delete my email online when I delete it from my device. Not sure if that matters.
Does anyone know how to correct this?

Autosync? As in settings->account and sync? Hotmail isnt an option.

Happened the exact same to me.
I only managed to fix yahoo and hotmail
Hotmail: download the microsoft+SEVEN hotmail that one push syncs mail better than any other mail client for hotmail ive had and fixed my issue.
https://market.android.com/details?...lt#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5ob3RtYWlsLlo3Il0.
Yahoo: the yahoo mail client fixed all my problems for me.
https://market.android.com/details?...5YWhvby5tb2JpbGUuY2xpZW50LmFuZHJvaWQubWFpbCJd
As of gmail i still get some read mail as unread... only i could do to make it better was reduce the days it synced so less unread mail appears.
Hope it helps man.
(IF you only have trouble with Hotmail, ignore the Gmail and Yahoo part)
