Does anyone know what information I need to set up my work email through my phone. My IT guy says he can do it but they need to take my phone and "do something to it" I don't know what that means but I don't want my company to have access to my private information. Any help would be great. Thanks.

They generally take phone to set up the needed certificates and encryption, based on the respective company policies. It would be best to delete ur personal info when u give to them. You could always set up ur personal data later.

If your company is an Exchange shop, you need your domain, username, password and exchange ActiveSync URL (usually your webmail URL). If your company uses client certs, then he would have to install that - but it is unlikely.
If you sync your Exchange email, your company has the ability to do remote wipe and enforce an unlock PIN.
If you do setup mobile sync yourself, they can see it and if they want they could turn it off or remote wipe - keep that in mind when going around IT. Your best bet, is to clear off anything you find personal - let them set things up, and put your stuff back on. The IT guy, should be able to set thing up in 5 minutes at your desk.
Thanks for the reply. We use lotus notes. I have no idea what type of system that is.
For Lotus Notes, they may have POP or IMAP set up - then it is like setting a normal email account for your personal use - you need server name, login name, password. If you can also sync calendar and contacts, they probably have a companionlink license - it is the only app i know off that syncs everything with Notes. If you want this, you need to let IT do their magic - either way, you probably should talk to the IT guys and find out what method they use.
Thanks I will.

Ok, but what about backup, security
Hi,
first of all: nice offer, really.
But when it comes to backup, do you have a second server ? Is your server from locked from unauthorized access or do you just have a room in your house where's your server at.
Can your friends read the mails when you have a party and you are drunk because they just need to go to the server and log on as admin so they can access ALL mailboxes and all emails.
Do you have regular data backup so you can restore the exchange database after a crash ? What if your internet connection is down ? Backbone ?
Does your server have a professional anti-virus solution ?
After installing a windows update with forced restart, how long will it take to restart ? Dou you install updates regurlarly. Do you have a second server to test the updates before installing and did you ever need to revive a server that crashed by beeing updated ?
At least, I hope nobody knows where you live for they will try to kick your a.. after losing their mail due to anything that can so easily happen in the world of information technology !
and remember ... you have a job / family / life ...
Best regards
seriously wtf?

I don't know what makes you think my server is @ my house... It is locked securely in my IT closet in my office.

Once again, I don't know why you are so sure this server is located at my house. Answer is no.

I have a regular backup and in the very near future I am going to be upgrading the hard drives in the server to 2 TB of storage in a raid array. My internet connection is a T1 with guaranteed 99.9% uptime. Since I've been in my office, for the last 7 years, I think I have had one day of down time.

I don't see how this is relevant. I install Windows 2003 updates about once a month. I do not have a second server I test these on...this is not my business, this is simply a free service I am offering. If I put this much time into it, I would be forced to charge.

Again, WTF? This is a free service and comes with no guarantees or warranty. People, to a certain extent, need to do their OWN regular backups.

I'm trying to short through all my contacts. Put them in groups and all that good stuff.
I have all my gmail contacts in my phone, all ungrouped.I read that setting up the att address book helps with this problem. Only for the life of me I can't seem to set it up. I even found the user guide online. It says that when you first click on contacts that it should ask you for this n that. I don' recall doing any of that. Doesn't say anything on how to get back to it if you didn't do it the first time.
So, would someone help this no0b out please.
If there is a better way that I don't have to go through AT&T to get my contacts in groups please let me know.
Thank you.
Go into your contact list and click the Menu button, More, Settings, AT&T address book, click OK.
then go to att.com/addressbook. Register for a MEdia account if you don't have one. Then you can sign in and see them. The phone should automatically throw your contacts up on there, then you just have to organize them.
Or you can get on your computer, log into your Gmail account, select "Contacts," and use that interface to place them into groups.
It is very easy to do. You just need to look around the screen for the control buttons as they aren't always where you expect them. The benefit to doing this is that the interface is on your computer and easy to use.
Don't have any experience with the ATT contacts app.... I deleted EVERYTHING I could that was proprietary ATT as most of that stuff costs more money and much of it doesn't work as well as the stock apps anyway!

I have zero contacts in my Family group.
Because of the stupid limitation of not being able to change the Live ID login details, I was wondering if there is a reg hack to change the email address the live id has on the phone.
I have not created a new live id, just simply change the default email address on my existing one. So all the data will be the same, but I don’t want to hard reset the phone and lose all my SMS etc.
Thanks in advance.

I suspect there is no easy reg hack for this since the first account that was added is deeply entrenched within many components... marketplace, xboxlive, etc.
Did you try to add the new live account and see if the option to delete the first one becomes available when there are 2 live IDs?
Yes, unfortunately it treats the first one in a special way, only giving you the option to not sync email. Any additional accounts are treated just like a normal exchange account with Contact, Task and Calendar all options.
Looks like a hard reset is the only way.
Is there an easy way to backup text messages in Mango?
A quick slightly off topic question.
If I were to hard reset my phone, what would happen with my phone being unlocked? Would I have to do anything after the hard reset?
I would imagine so, but am unsure...
Hello,
I am hoping someone can help me out. I have my work email setup on my phone using their webmail address. If I use the standard address, i am required to have Maas360 installed, which is not an option with me being rooted. Anyways, if I have the email program I use, which is either Nine or Mail Wise, setup for ActiveSync, my business server will catch it and block me. So, I have to setup the email app to scan for new emails every X minutes.
The problem I am running into, is I did not know that I had to have ActiveSync turned off, so now my device is banned when using Nine mail. So, I tried the same with Mail Wise, and got banned again. Now, on my third app, AquaMail, I have realized the problem, and its working great. However, I would prefer to use Nine mail. When trying to go back into Nine and recreate my account, i get an error that my device is blocked. I get the same error on Mail Wise. Both list a different Device ID. NineXXXXXXX and MailWiseXXXXXXXX. Is there a way to change this ID? I tried creating a new ID in Titanium Backup and that didn't change the IDs in the mail apps.
Thanks to anyone who can help!
you could ask the app developer (he should know it^^) or ask you sys admin. Normally it isn't that hard to unblock a phone (had done that enough).
I tried that. Sent an email a few days ago and haven't heard back.
Do you got a solution? I have the same problem, thx
Reply after very long time, but maybe could help someone else...
Nine email device ID is stored in a text file /data/data/com.ninefolders.hd3/deviceName. Could be changed with root rights. Changes become effective after re-start of Nine
Hey man, i'm in the same boat.
Thanks so much for sharing the solution.
Can you help me how to setup Nine so that it doesn't get blocked again?
Bump
Bump. I have the same issue. Any solution for non-rooted phones?

I recently tried to give Nine a DeviceID by amending this file. The Device ID is saved in the file, but Nine is always announcing the hexadecimal equivalent of that ASCII Device ID to the server. So if your approved ID by the server is in hex format, you can reverse it and put that into the file.
If not (which is my case), I would appreciate anyone who can indicate if there is a string that enforces Nine to keep the Device ID of the file without hex-transformation...
Hello group hope you can help me with this most recent conundrum I am what I considered to be a power user but not anywhere near the level of developer I know my way around my phone and that's about it I have basic networking skills. Recently I noticed a few charges on one or two of my accounts such as venmo or cash app those charges quickly escalated to other charges on virtually every single payment platform that I am signed into I'm embarrassed to say it but whoever hacked me got me and I'm positive that it came through my Android phone based on the activity on my Gmail accounts my question is this how can I definitely unequivocally find the footprints in my phone through logcat viewer and or how can I guarantee that they will not be transferred to my new phone once I transfer apps
this sounds like a simple stolen password / email scenario.
Change your passwords for every account you have, use different ones for each or better: a password manager like keepassxc - is gud.
database leaks happen quite often and that's why we use different passwords and 2fa for each of our accounts, if you think this isn't just a stolen identity case and you are woried about it, create a new google identity using a new email ( remember the password manager! ) on your new phone, download all your apps from trusted sources and discard all accounts creating new ones (if you have money/sensitive data, transfer it in the safes possible manor) and do a factory reset on your old device for good measure

yeah, nuke everything you had and make a new online presance.
I can't say what happened as it sounds like a data breach, but there's some h4xx0r elements there too.
stay safe! Use a password manager and 2fa!
