I can't find anywhere how to set a Hotmail/Live account that has a custom domain name. On Windows Mobile, the Windows Live app set up seamlessly. If I had a @hotmail.com domain, it would be easy. But my 'Live' email doesn't use the hotmail.com domain.
I need some better search wurds...
Pop settings
Based off what you are stating, you might be able to try the Live Pop settings as discussed here: http://www.ehow.com/how_6728632_configure-email-outlook-mobile-phone.html
Don't know if this will work but it is worth a try.
Try m.live.com

Sweet! that did the trick, at least for the email part. Everything I was reading had me trying settings for and Exchange email. Just about every page I found had me tweaking hotmail.com settings, and one combination I tried sync'd my calender and contacts, but only downloaded one email.
OK, went back to the Exchange settings over the pop3. It was working correctly before, I just didn't realize it doesn't back sync earlier emails.
My company email is [email protected][I]xyzcompany[/I].com and I used m.hotmail.com as the server and it seems to be syncing correctly.
OK, this thing won't keep any email that is more than two days old. No matter what number of days I select. It syncs contacts and calender just fine tho.
*scratches head*
SI don't know that it would help but they just released an official hot mail app in the market. I know it isn't the greatest solution but it may solve your problem.

Hey thanks buddy. I searched the market for an 'official' MS app. I was looking for "Windows Live" as my search words, and all I found were 3rd party apps.
It seems to work pretty good. And handles multiple hotmail/Live email accounts.
Now if I can just keep all my contacts straighten out. This phone like to sync toooo dam much info, and I've been deleting duplicates and redundant info for days now! Ah.. gotta love the learning curve that comes with a new (to me) OS.
I've been using Hotmail since 1999 and recently I downloaded Hotmail for android app. Everything was smooth until I tried to enter a new contact, where I found that I cannot do that. Partially I mean. I can only enter the name field and nothing else. I cannot edit the synced contacts too.
because HTML mail was not possible with the default mail app in android and exchange in Hotmail, I used to forward my mail to Gmail and use the Gmail app.
I was very joyed with this app release and now facing this bug.
I googled but couldn't find any solution or similar bug reports.
Am I the only unlucky person or others have this problem too. I'd there any fix for this.
I have already tried removing and re-adding, uninstall and reinstall.
I am using cm7 on my wildlife.
Thank you in advance.

You are not alone! Still looking for a solution myself.
Have you tried using another email client and signing in through it?
Same problem here. Hotmail worked great through Activesync on Android, but this app is much nice. But contacts edit is not working at all !! And not found any fixes thus far.
-sony xperia arc w/stock kernel
Still to fix
Sorry to say that I am having the same issue. Have to been able to find a fix. Please let all know if anyone can figure this out.
Thanks.
Same problem here
I too have the same problem. I erased everything, tried with another gmail account, made sure to not sync anything with gmail, with no avail. This is a huge bug.
Response from Hotmail
So I contacted Hotmail about this issue. Here was there response:
"We aplogoize for the inconvenience that this may have caused you. Please understand that the ability to edit contacts on Hotmail app for Android phones is currently not available. However, our product team was already aware of it and a fix is being considered.
Thanks,
Windows Live"
Hopefully this fix will be soon.
How silly to create an app without editing capability... i have switched back to exchange. works seamlessly.

No HTML mail with exchange on my Wildfire....
I'm looking for a solution to this one too. The Hotmail app is actually pretty good, but the inability to edit contacts is an odd bug.
Solution
I tried Contact Editor Free by dmfs in the Market. It lets you edit the hotmail contacts and sync them back up.
I've only tested it for about a minute, but it seems to work.
I gotta tell you.
I've done a research. Microsoft is aware of the issue since about November/December 2011. SEVEN (the actual manufacturer) confirms it and reports work in progress (in February/March?), an update to the app has been issues by the end of February but the issue has not been addressed and has not yet been resolved.
I used Microsoft's support forums to ask the question, how to sync the contacts then, if nothing works as intended.
One of forum's moderators confirmed the issue, another asked how did I exactly try to sync.
If you would be kind enough to visit the question page yourselves and click "I have that question too", I'd be thankful. Maybe they'd actually do something instead of constantly apologizing and confirming either the issue or the progress of the works...
I tried Contact Editor Free by dmfs in the Market like Joe USer and works ok

use Contact Editor free by Marten Gajda.
worked for me.
Don't know why I never noticed this before when I was using my Galaxy S2 but it hit me today on my Nexus 4. I was trying to find out why Bluetooth handsfree calling through my Garmin wasn't working and it is because the Garmin has all my contacts showing last name first even though they aren't presented that way on the phone. When I tried to view the contact directly through the Contacts app, I saw that it was showing last name first and I couldn't edit the contact to try and fix it.
We are what, over a year since this was first recorded here and still no fix other than a third party app? This wasn't an issue on my BlackBerry.
On top of that, it makes handsfree unusable since there seems to be no way to get the contacts to list with the first name first. The contacts are all fine on Outlook.com so something is getting messed up with how they are presented in Android.

I had the same error. Mine worked for a month and stopped after a new rom flash and hasn't worked since even after i went back to stock. You have to set up your Yahoo account manually with the default email app.

jumping from the X2 forum because I've got the same problem after a nand gone wrong and a factory reset and I found this in search.
This used to work fine, I'm not satisfied setting up the email manually because I also want the contact sync functionality that previously worked.

Good luck on finding a fix.
I got the same problem, and so does my wife (who has not messed with her phone nearly as much as I)... So, I don't think it's a ROM issue. I think it's possibly the outdated Yahoo authenticator on our phones... The Yahoo Mail app from the Play Store works though..

It has nothing to do with which ROM you are on, as I am running stock 2.3.6 (rooted).
The Yahoo!Mail app does work. I had to delete it again because it eats my battery.
You're not alone. Before I rooted, I did a factory reset to quickly rid my phone of a bunch of junk apps and afterward during setup the native email client wouldn't allow my adding Yahoo! email... said same thing, "cannot add account please try again later".
Called Yahoo! tech support, Moto, etc. Nothing works. So, I'm using MailDroid from the Market. Not a bad app but I don't like how I can't change font sizes within the app like I could with the native android client.
C'es la vie, right?
well I can tell you guys that its not the conduit, because it was working native less than 1 week ago for me until a recent wipe/flash. It must just be the setup. I'm temped to SBF back a version or two someday when I have time.
I could do without the contact sync, but I liked how it showed the Y! icon notification for the yahoo acct and other notifications for other accounts.

I liked the fact you could change font sizes in compositions and replies, as well as email sigs. Resorted to MailDroid because I like black UI along with my rom/theming.
I heard that Yahoo! changed their security settings to not allow for a non SSL devices to connect to their servers, tried manual account setup and still nothing. I'm beginning to think AT&T, Motorubbish, and Yahoo! are all out to get us!

•Username: full email address (for example, [email protected], not just username)

although I'm not entirely satisfied with the workaround. I liked the special notifier icon with the full account sync that was JUST working for me until this recent flash.

This is for the generic 'Email' option in "Add Accounts", right? I'll try this out.
Wait, just looked in Settings/Add Account, and there's no red Email stamp like with 2.3.5/6 -perhaps because I'm on Lithium v1.2.1?

Yeah, no red stamp for me. But I've been on MailDroid for a month or so, and since my email is just for personal, not that big of a deal. Just mildly irritating to have something work fine one minute and not the next...

FYI I've been trying to set this up again occasionally for the last two months
today Yahoo account sync worked again!
on my presently stock rom'd DX2, but this leads me to believe that it was actually yahoo, because I know there were also Bionic users with the same problem.
I guess I'm glad I never got around to SBF'ing back multiple versions

Just tried again. Didn't work the first few times, but it actually went through.
Maybe Yahoo! finally fixed w/e the issue was?
The email app installed on the HTC One S is horrible compared to the standard android app when using it for activesync/exchange.
It doesn't display email properly and doesn't have message advance and back icons. You have to open the menu to get to them.
Does anyone know of a way to replace it?
You could just install a different email app. I hear good things about K-9 Mail (have not tried personally).
I actually think the standard android email app is pretty bad for Exchange, since its meeting invites do not show time or place directly.
I've used k-9 for imap connections, but it won't do an activesync connection to sync my contacts and calendar, unless there's a new version that does that.
I switched back to "Enhanced Email".
I couldn't find a way to change the ringtone in the one that came with the phone.
I also didn't like that you couldn't move back and forth through the messages like mentioned above.
I see Enhanced Email is $9.99 in Google Play.
I got it for free when it was the app of the day for Amazon.
I didn't know there were any alternatives other than Touchdown.
I'll give it a try.
Thanks.
I fully agree with you.
I already complained a month ago to htc for the lack of html support for example.
They escalated it to their technical support with no answer yet.

What are you talking about? HTC email app has the html support. Its like basic feature!
At least my exchange server, the original ics one showed html while the htc one option is grayed out and not working.

I have three different activesync acounts on my htc one, and none of them display hmtl.
Also, the attachment don't display from the mail client. You have to download them and open them directly from a viewer app.
Weird. It works on my exchange activesync account. See attached.
Attachments work fine too.

Its definitely a bug in your email app since it works for me and other android phones. I would suggest removing the account and adding back if you havent tried that already. I would also factory reset and see if it fixes. if nothing, the only option is to get a replacement.

Thanks for the Info and efforts.
I did several factory resets with no change.
I also already had the firmware updated with no change.
I asked htc support about that and they escalated it still with no answer for more than a month.
Yet, when I enter an account which is not my exchange server like Gmail and such, I do get html support. That's why I figured the issue is related top my exchange server version...

Just out of curiosity, what is the version of the Mail app on your phone? Maybe this is not an issue in all T-Mobile US phones because of different version.

I've had issues with android native email app not synching. Can you describe your issue in more detail, it could be the same as mine.

well the email app takes the exchange account, I get email coming in with push. but I don't get calendar events. no matter what I do.
there's no error, or message, just doesn't show up. same settings on my two year old samsung, works just fine.

yeah that actually did it! I spent the day going down the list of exchange and email clients and in the play store and when I got to mailwise, it actually synced up the calendar events.
I damn near fell of the chair
thanks again for the suggestion. I'm not at all sure what the difference is, in setting up an exchange activesync account from mailwise as opposed to say cloudmagic or the sony email app or k9, etc...
anyway it worked and I hope this thread comes in handy for any unlucky soul that faces this issue.
Just my story and suggestion:
We use the Mdaemon Server (v14) with active sync support. First synce with my Z3 went finde. But immediately after that everything got messed up.
So after a few times adding and removint the account I tried to use the original Android Exchange client - same story here. Started to work and the just stopped to sync.
As a finel solution and afer running trough tons of Google-searches I have found the holy grail for me - Nine.
The cool thing for me was that it has a 2 weeks test-period after which you need to activate it.
So I tested about 11 days without any error and decided to buy it. So far no regrets on my decision! What I totaly like is that it has a well working search and a chat-view mode for the messages.
Anyway -- just give it a try - 2 weeks free testing.
The key was 7,60€ or whatever - equals 9.99USD.

Strange, every time I do so I get the following:
Email App - Address lines cutting off in replies
Hello dear,
There is a problem i noticed with the Z3 email client after setting up my office email on Exchange.
for example, i am getting an email from someone with multiple people in "CC" and "To".
If i do a "reply all" or "reply only to the sender", in my reply, all the other addresses other than the sender's name gets cut off from the email to which i am replying.. This is a very disappointing thing for me since it seriously deforms the email chain and make us lose track of who all where there in the earlier email. This is especially bad when using for corporate official emails.
Before switching to Sony, (due to Battery life), i was using Samsung Galaxy and Samsung email app never had this issue. Whether you reply or forward, the previous emails were intact with all addresses and details.
Any idea on how to solve this?
regards....
