Push email from both corporate and gmail accounts?

I have a Touch HD and up until today I had it set up so that Gmail would push emails to me. It worked great, emails would be pushed to my device very quickly and I was happy
The company I work for has allowed me to configure my device to sync with my corporate Exchange server. So I stripped the gmail settings, entered all the corporate exchange info and voila, everything works fine; emails, contacts etc. are all in sync as I'd expect.
i was going to just add on my gmail account as an imap account, but I'll miss the emails being pushed to me. The account is set up as my Windows live account, so after googling it seems I can do both using Windows Live Mobile. I've set everything up in Windows Live Mobile with my gmail account credentials and I've set the sync to happen 'as items arrive'; it reports as being connected, but I can't see my emails anywhere; only my corporate inbox appears on the touchflo email tab.
Can anyone provide a bit of help, either this doesn't work as reported or (likely) I'm cocking it up somewhere...

use active sync?

[Q] mail client for hotmail - mark mail as read on server

so, i had a hotmail account set up on my htc mail app. mail came through with no problems, but any actions i took on the device didnt get reflected on the server. so if i read/deleted mail on the device, i had to do the same on the web inbox.
i switched to k-9 mail which now deletes mail on the server, but doesnt mark the mail as read once i've read it. something which i do quite often as i use my hotmail for online purchases, and i want to read an invoice but keep it for reference.
does anyone know an app that allows mail thats read on the device to be marked as read on the server?
muchos gracias!

anyone?

My wife has a blackberry and uses hotmail also. I believe the problem lies in the difference between POP3/IMAP. Hotmail connects via POP3 and from what I gather that protocol doesn't involve much more than basically forwarding the messages to your phone. While IMAP (which Gmail is capable of using) allows the syncing of deleted items\read items\etc.

I had a blackberry before my android and was able to read and delete mail, mark mail as unread etc and it would be reflected in my hotmail inbox. its really frustrating as having the blackberry allowed me to manage my inbox completely without having to log into my hotmail and now i feel like im going backwards

Try this:
Setup a new account.
In the first screen, where you write your name and password, hit manual setup. In the next screen, select the last option (Exchange ActiveSync).
In the details put:
Server: m.hotmail.com
Username: your email eg. [email protected]
Domain: leave this blank
SSL: Enable this/use always
Certificate: SSL
It has some additional settings (sync contacts, calendars, etc.), select as needed.
Began testing last weekend after seeing this post. http://androidcommunity.com/forums/349480-post18.html
E-Mail is working good so far, have not used contacts and calendar sync. It pushes messages and syncs them both ways when necessary.

so so close!
firstly, thanks for the tip. it seems to be working, but the only issue is that it has constant sync failures. i've only had it up for half an hour or so and have been testing it out, and when it works - it works well. but the syncing issue could be a deal breaker if its not an time-isolated issue. so far i've had to manually instigate the sync when i know theres new mail, or i want to push changes back to the server.
will give it a few days and see. if its still buggy i dont see spending 12 quid on it as getting value for money.

Weird... It's been working perfect so far, maybe it has to do with the OS version you have on your device, I have Cyanogen's 6.1 RC1, Android 2.2.1. Anyway I was looking for a product called Exchange for Android 2.x, but it's $20 and this is not an urgent need for me.
BTW, why you need to expend $12 on this, it's free as far as I can tell

Yahoo Mail working?

Ok, so a few days ago signed in with my user and pass & was able to get into yahoo for the stock email program.
Everything was working fine until i decided to send an email. User name and/or password invalid... Uhhhh what about all the emails I've been getting?
Ok, so I deleted the account and tried again.
User name and/or password invalid. What???!?! Ok so now I can't even add my yahoo account!
So i went to yahoo online, put in my user and pass - worked just fine.
What the heck? Has anyone else had any issues with setting up a yahoo email?
Thanks.

No problems here with yahoo email, send and receive just fine.
I'm using following settings :-
send
imap.mail.yahoo.com SSL 993
receive
smtp.mail.yahoo.com ssl 465
works a treat

Wow, thanks.
Very Strange that worked. It seems like HTC is added at the beginning of each imap and smtp server address.
I removed it at incoming and outgoing and it went through. Why the heck would HTC add those if they dont work?

Ah yes I recall that when I set mine up, like you say wtf is that about?

Did the same for me. Took off the htc . Works good now

Only reason I can think they would do that is maybe HTC is trying re route the mail to their servers to maybe push it faster?
I dont know, maybe its a beta thing and its still in its early days of testing. But I have set up 100 HTC phones and I have never seen HTC in the beginning of the server address.
But what really gets me stumped is the fact that the first 3 days I was getting mail WITH HTC in the front of all server addresses?

In addition to removing the htc. from the outgoing settings, check your username. When it sets up auto, it plugs in your entire email address. I had you remove the @yahoo from there also.

I like to use the yahoo mail client from the market. It pushes it I believe.

I have not been receiving emails from the stock Yahoo email program since yesterday morning but I can send emails from it. However, sending and receiving from stock Gmail works fine.
I tried the above settings (removing htc.), reinstalling Yahoo email, syncing, refreshing and rebooting, no help. T-mobile tech support says it may be a Yahoo server problem and only suggests to install Yahoo Mail app from the market (I did and it works, but I rather use the stock Yahoo mail).
Anyone has the same or similar problem w/ the stock Yahoo mail? Any other suggestions/fix?

I also tried removing the HTC from the settings and still won't receive any emails. I don't like using the yahoo mail app because it just add to battery usage since its pushed

I called HTC yesterday, they had me try these settings but DID NOT work for me:
For INCOMING server settings:
Protocol: POP
POP server: pop.mail.yahoo.com
Security type: SSL
Server port: 993
For OUTGOING server settings:
SMTP server: smtp.mail.yahoo.com
Security type: SSL
Server port: 995
He said it is likely that Yahoo has problems connecting to Android and even Google has had similar issues. If this issue is not fixed before my 14 day return policy expires I will exchange for another phone.

Same problem on HTC Incredible 2, after alot of wasted time I couldnt get to work with IMAP settings I found a work arround to be able to use POP instead without yahoo plus. Sign in to your email, on the top where it says "hi (your email)" left click and click account in menu. It asked me to login again and took me to account info. scroll down and click "Set language, site, and time zone" set regional site as "Yahoo asia" and when you click on anything else it asks you to save, save. Now you can go into mail options and "pop and fowarding". Now you can setup a yahoo account with the default pop settings!!! and Yahoo mail works again on "mail app" !! : )

i tried that but the only options it gives me in the pop/fowarding is either have spam or block spam or foward to another email

Try This ..
Seems to work for me everytime ..
Yahoo
Incoming Setting
User Name:[email protected]
Password: Password of your yahoo mail
Incoming mail server: imap.n.mail.yahoo.com
Mailbox Name: Yahoo
Mailbox type: IMAP4
Security(Ports): Off
Port: 143
Outgoing Setting
Email Address:[email protected]
User Name:[email protected]
Password: Password of your yahoo mail
Outgoing mail server:smtp.mobile.mail.yahoo.com
Security(Ports): Off
Port:587

I think polling eats more battery life than push. If you poll your email your phone has to make a connection to the server to poll it for new mail. This happens every x amount of minutes or hours. So even if there is no new mail the phone still will connect to the server and uses data and when your using data you're using more battery. With push email there server pushes the data to the phone only when it has to resulting in less overall trips to the server. Say you have your email to set to poll every 30 minutes. Its now 9 am. At noon you receive an email. By that time if you were polling your phone would have polled the server 6 times. Sending data to the server and waiting for a response from the server. If you had your email to push then when you got the email at 12 then the server would push it at 12 and that's it... I always prefer push email over pull.

No don't mess with the pop spam pull down, you just have to check the dot that's just to the left that enables pop in general because its not enabled by default..

Using default settings w/ the older version of Yahoo mail works perfectly.
Unfortunately I am using the "New" Yahoo mail account which currently cannot be switched back to the older version.
I sent Yahoo Mobile team a message regarding this issue (not receiving incoming Yahoo email from stock app). I will follow up w/ their reply.
In the meantime I'm using Yahoo mail app from the market; not liking it and Gmail sounds very tempting

Please explain what you mean by the "older version" of Yahoo mail. I tried this as well with no success.
I have been in contact with htc about the problem and they maintain that the issue is with Yahoo and an "unstable" implementation on Yahoo's side. They claim this is why Yahoo released an Android app for their mail system. Asked why it seems other devices can connect, they replied that "perhaps other manufacturers have found a way around the issue and modified the mail app on their device accordingly". Outside of the usual reset the data for the mail app, and factory reset the device there appears to be no answer forthcoming from htc.
I am able to connect via POP, and for now I think that may be the best option...

"perhaps other manufacturers have found a way around the issue and modified the mail app on their device accordingl" how can HTC rep even say this there other HTC Android phones that don't have this issue

[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

[Q] Exchange no longer working due to..

Hoping someone can help with this..
I'm using:
Server: webmail.company.com
Login: domain\user (not same as email)
Email: [email protected]
SSL (checked)
Accept all SSL (checked)
This has always worked in the past but recently stopped. When setting this up now I get an error: "You typed an incorrect server address or the server requires a protocol version that Email doesn't support".
Using all these settings in K9 mail I get a similar error. With K9 mail however I have the option to add a "Mailbox Alias". When I add [email protected] into the Mailbox Alias field it works.
Ideally I'd like to continue using the default Email app and Calendar but since there doesn't appear to be anyplace to add a Mailbox Alias in the default client I cannot. I am using that mailbox alias as the email address I enter when setting up the Email client.
It's not a company issued phone so there isn't much I can do as far as having changes made on the server. I believe they must have done an update or changed some setting, as there was an email that the OWA server was being restarted which preceded these problems.

I tried setting this up on an iPhone this evening. It didn't give the same error but rather just wouldn't connect to the same server. This previously worked as well as I had tried an iPhone briefly a few months ago.
It seems that no one else at work that collects email with their stock Android Email.apk is having any issues. I would assume at this point it is some kind of account problem, but I am using the same info as listed above in my work laptops Outlook client for collecting mail via https when not connected to VPN. I'm also using those settings on a Macbook in Entourage to connect to exchange, though I believe that uses webdav. Both of those clients continue to work, and as mentioned above, k9 works when adding my email address to the Mailbox Alias. I was also able to get TouchDown working though I'm not that interested in buying it.
If anyone has anything I'd love to hear it.
thanks!

This appears to be the issue that I'm having.
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=25648
It seems to be an account/permissions related problem though I don't really understand why adding a mailbox alias with K9 resolves the problem, though the above OP mentions his worked with Touchdown when it wasn't working with default email.apk.
