[q] tricking exchange server with owa - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

Hi, I can flawlessy access my work mailbox via OWA using my default android browser and my phone. I asked my IT manager to being able to sync my phone directly with the work account (using a staightforward redirect to my gmail account) but I've been told it's not allowed. As I can access via web, I guess there should be a way to trick the server, in order to have the mail directly on my phone (it "thinks" I'm accessing via browser but I'm using default android gmail client instead).
anyone knows howto?
tks a lot

Looking for a Pop/Imap email application - Recommendations?

Hi,
I have a strange setup for my email. My main address is using exchange, all my email from various email accounts get forwarded to the exchange account, then the filters shove everything into the appropriate folders.
I am using Touchdown Exchange for my email.
One of the email accounts I use requires me to reply from a work address (which I can access via Pop3 or Imap). So at this point I use Touchdown for my exchange & if a message from work comes in, I go to the stock (I use CM7) email app & grab the message from Imap & reply from there.
Is there a better than stock email app? I know of enhanced mail (which I tried) & I have heard of K9 but not used it.
I am looking for something that when I flash a new rom, I dont need to re-enter my server information each time.
The stock app & enhanced mail both require me to set everything up from stock. Ti backup doesnt seem to be able to save the data in a restore'able fashion.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Rich

Galaxy Tab Email App

Our tabs built-in email app is perfect for me. Only problem i have is that I cant get my corporate mail to work. Gmail and Ymail works fine. Our office uses MS Exchange but we can only access through OWA (even my PC Outlook is configured to go through OWA).
I've been using Seven Mail for quite some time now but recently its not updating my emails well.
Any help would be appreciated.
Btw. Tried Touchdown, K9, Kaiten, Moxier, Maildroid but did not like them.

I use the native email apk for corporate exchange email and it works fine. I prefer it over touchdown.
In my case, I entered the email address and password for my account, selected exchange, then I had to change the user name to my corporate domain\userid. I also changed the server name to owa.company.com. I had to select accept all SSL certificates.
Our exchange service requires some security controls on the device so you have to set a screen lock pin or password.
Same experience for me as for grogzero.
Technically speaking, as long as you can access OWA and your company is not using Exchange 2010, the email client will work. Specifically, the client uses ActiveSync (technology used by Microsoft) and this protocol works over OWA. This emans that as long as OWA works, your tab default client should work as well.
In Exchange 2010, mobile access must be enabled on top of OWA to allow ActiveSync to work. Otherwise, you should email your support and ask them about it.
Can you give us more specifics on the specific situation you have to deal with?

Same issue
I am having the same issue.
My company uses exchange 2007 with SSL and has some security features requirements also. (pin requirement for example) The settings I have set up fine on my iPad but I really want to use the SGT instead of the iPad.
I am currently using TD and it has worked but I love the split screen on the native email app.
Any suggestions?
the solution to that issue is upgrade to 2.3.3, actually this works for me.
call your internet provider and ask for pop3 port. For ex mine is 26 instead of default 25

[Q] Offline email like Outlook

All Android email apps are based on a Web mail and depend on availability of the wireless connection (WiFi or 3/4G).
Is there an app for Android that works like the Outlook on the PC, that allows user having a POP mail account, to keep his Inbox and other folders containing the relevant messages in the Smartphone’s memory, for offline consultation, responses, etc, without need to retrieve them from Google/Yahoo or other Web service provider each time he needs to use them?
When you use the default e-mail app, you should be able to use mail offline. The app has an option the check for e-mail manually. I use it with my microsoft exchange account at work.
Search for a mailprover which support IMAP. Your mail stays at the webserver, but you can view it offline in you mail app.

Migrate email profile help

trying to use the native email client in place of the company authorized touchdown.
Is there a way to do that.
I've done the following with the hope to make it work
took all the settings from touchdown onto the boxer app and I get the message not authorized to sync with server.
When I delete touchdown, mobileiron tries to install the profile on the mail client and the mail client gives the error unable to upgrade account.
I don't know what else to do. I'm new to the galaxy world and would love to use the native mail client so I can see the combined calendars.

Mail app / sync deleted mails (POP3)

Hi,
I´m using the inbuild mail app with an POP3-account, Z5 is stock ROM. When I delete an email on the Z5, the mail is also deleted on the server.
But when I delete an email on the server (e.g. via webmail or when I download them with my desktop client), the mails aren´t deleted on the Z5.
Is there any solution or workaround for this?
IMAP is not available, and I don´t want to use another mail app.
Thanks!
Greetings,
Philip
Hi
I don't think there is any work around, it's just how POP3 works.
POP3 is really designed for use on one client, where the client downloads and removes the mail from the server. It then becomes the only device with that email. There is a function that allows the email to be left on the server, so another device could also collect it, but all devices are totally separate.
As you seem to indicate, IMAP sounds like the solution, or activesync, where the email is kept on the server, and you effectively work with a mirrored copy of those emails on your device.
If you are working with your own domain, get Gmail to collect the email, alias your current email address, and then make use of their activesync capabilities.

Hi,
thanks for your reply.
From my HTC I used before I know, that this "feature" worked - so I expected this from the new Xperia
Lets see, maybe there´s a fix in an update...
