Exchange GAL search in Froyo - General Topics

Hello. I have my exchange account configured and have tried using the contacts app as I read is where its located now but does not work. I need to be able to search for GAL contacts. Corporate address book app does not want to install. Suggestion?

Are you looking for email or phone contacts? The stock email app will search the GAL for email addresses, but I've never seen the contact or messaging app look for a phone number.

Does the inspire not support Verizon email accounts? Mine won't add it. I tried the mail app and also went settings, accounts, add account. Still nothing. Any thoughts?
Are you talking about the HTC Mail App? Is there any reason you're not using GMail?
I have gmail also but my work email is Verizon
I think he is trying to tell you to add your pop or whatever account to your gmail account.. you do this online - log into gmail, go to settings, and add the accounts... this way you don't have to deal with the email app..

Ah I see, didn't realize that. Thanks ill try that and let you guys know.
I had no problems manually entering my Verizon acct into the HTC email app. Have you tried manually entering your acct info?

Why do people prefer gmail app over email app?

I was browsing the "post your homescreen " thread and came.across alot of people using the gmail app as apposed to the email app. I personally use the email one because of the ability to add my schools email account in it. Which one do you guys use and why?

Gmail is the only email account i use. Makes sense to use the App
I have both. But I rarely use gmail.
I use both too. I use gmail for well my gmail accounts and the reg email app for my none gmail accounts. I like both
Yeah I think I'm going to use both aswell. I have 2 gmail accounts and then my school email

I use both because it is easy to keep my personal email from work email. Just an added barrier of sending an email from the wrong account.
I use K-9 for personal mail, Roadsync for work mail, Gmail for google account type stuff.
All email accounts auto-forward back to gmail to keep a copy of everything in archive.
I have all my mailaccounts aggregated on my own server and use K9 to access them. For me K9 is the best mail client on android, not only because it can sign and encryped my mails.

Nothing fancy, just a virtual root-server with an imap-server, a smtp-server, spam-detection and a script to fetch from all my freemail-accounts.

Delete the contact
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
There are no other ways unless you delete those ````
In your contacts settings, there is an option to only display contacts with phone numbers or something along those lines.
Ah! Found it,... In your Contacts, go to Contacts Account. In there is an option for "Show contacts with phone numbers only" That should do the trick for you.
its very annoying, i really don't want all the email addresses i communicate with to be in my address book..
thanks for your help fellas
don't know what are you using for contacts, but on go contacts app you can go to menu/settings/contacts account and then mark show contacts with phone numbers only

[Q] Superlite 5.1 - Can't search email

I have superlite 5.1 on my 727R and I have 2 accounts in the email app.
The problem is that on the bottom, there is no search option... which is a big problem for me. I've attached a screenshot to demo what I mean.
Anyone know of a fix for this? Is this in all ICS roms?

What is exchange support? I just want to search my emails for a specific word.
Thanks. I'm a noob at this

if u don't know/don't need exchange support, download an app called k9mail from the market (Google play). It gives u essay more flexibility than stock email client, and it has a unified inbox as well as a search feature
If you click at the top and change from Combined View to say one of your accounts, does the search button come up at the bottom then?
Because Im using this AOSP email client and I have no issues but then again I dont have a combined view, I only have one accounts on it (my corporate exchange server).

Search it from individual inbox
you can't search it from combined mailbox view. click the individual mailbox and the search icon will appear

Using gmail with sense

is there any way to have sense see the gmail app as an email app?
for example the productivity look screen will only show emails from the htc email app

Don't think so, gmail doesn't seem to be very integrated into htc sense.
You can forgo the gmail app and add your gmail account as exchange account to the default email app.

I have my other devices set up this way, but never thought to try it with Android because...well it's google. Do you prefer it that way? I've had Android since the G1 was released and never tried anything but the Gmail app

I don't know if it's better or whatever, but I am using clean rom Dev edition and the AOSP email app so I can pinch to zoom I've read arguments that polling email this way uses less battery, but who knows. The only reason I remember the trick is because it was the only way to get push email from Gmail on my iPhone
I would also love gmail to be recognized as an email app.
