Outlook webmail app?

The company I work for doesn't support android phones for our corporate/enterprise email server, but I can access my email account on my phone through the outlook webmail site. Are there any apps that can use outlook webmail site to pull emails from? Anyone have any other suggestions for me?
Thanks!

Exchange for Android v2.x?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

What I did was create a work Gmail and then added it on my phone and have my work Email (exchange) forward all my messages to my Gmail work one, it worked for a while and then they changed security policies or something. I tried forever for a work around for it but nothing came about until I actually talked to the boss about it and he asked the IT guys if anything could be done about it, and sure enough I can now connect and use my work email
Have you asked your manager/boss about it? I wasted like 2 hours trying to get find another way to do it and but a 5 minute conversation with the boss sorted it out lol.

Yeah, I spoke with IT a few times and all we came up with was either getting an apple device or Blackberry to use on our exchange server, or use outlook webmail. Strangely, they support the droid incredible but won't let any other android device on the server. I can check everything just fine on webmail, but it would be cool if I could get notifications, or at least have a mobile friendly interface I don't have to keep zooming in and out on.
I tried that exchange for 2.x and just can't get it to connect. I have the correct server info from my blackberry and from what I use everyday on my work pc. Verified by logging in on the webmail site.
Thanks for the help so far.

For Touchdown (Exchange for 2.x) try inputting your settings as if you were setting up an iphone to connect to the exchange server. The address should be sync.domainhere.com or something like that. It may work then.

I posted this in another thread.....try Seven, it's been working great for me.
I can't post links so.... (www).seven.com

I used the default froyo email program, just set the owa address as exchange server (without h**ps://), ssl encription, my login (without domain/) and password and It has worked well .

Yeah, none of that's working for me. I've spent the day trying to configure 5-6 different apps to use the webmail exchange server with no luck. Guess I'm stuck with using the website until the IT department starts supporting other android devices on the server.
Thanks again.

Outlook Syncing On Your Infuse...

Anyone out there use Companionlink/DejaOffice to sync their Outlook contact, calendar, notes and task to the Infuse?
Coming from years on Windows Mobile, I felt like I couldn't live without it as I like to do my planning on Outlook 2010 but now and then, I need to do it on my phone.
While far from perfect, Companionlink/DejaOffice does a good job...the latest update to DejaOffice seems a little quirky though...the sync progress goes away after 10 seconds and you can only see the progress on the PC.

I'm sorry I can' help you with Outlook. I'm just surprised anybody does this anymore. There are so many web-based / network-based solutions to choose from:
Google (the one built right into your phone)
Windows Live
Yahoo
Sync with your work Exchange server
Etc.
Now that you aren't on Windows Mobile anymore, you might want to consider this as being a great time to move to one of the aforementioned options.

My company blocked all non-company owned devices from using web synch since it was too easy to bypass the remote wipe and password requirements.
The only way to synch is by using Outlook on my home PC that connects into my Work account. Of course I have not tried that with an Android device yet, just used to be able to do it with WM devices.

Well, CompanionLink/DejaOffice works pretty good...a little quirky and needs some adjustment but it works quite well...you still have to pay $40.00 for CompanionLink but it was worth it...not ready yet to NOT sync with Outlook...

I hear ya, the contacts are one thing but not having my calendar is a PITA.

That's unfortunate your company blocks the use of non-company devices to sync. I guess it depends on how strict the IT dept policies are. I'm lucky. I have my work exchange email, contacts and calendar with me all the time. I just use the built in email app.

I am using android sync. It is just usb sync though. You have to connect to sync.

I just got the InFuse and I downloaded the trial version of Touchdown app for Exchange. You should give it a try it is free to try and I really like this app. It syncs everything over the air and downloaded every single folder I have plus all the emails in them. I think for the corporate user this is THE app for email syncing.

Touchdown is very good...I don't do exchange at home so CompanionLink is the way to go for me to sync my Outlook contacts, tasks and notes.

I have been using Touchdown for a year it so, but yesterday I gave Moxier Email a try, and though it misses a few tricks Touchdown has, the UI and overall feeling is newer and more polished.

So before I buy an infuse.
I currently use a tilt2 with windows mobile, and active sync software.
For my work, I cannot live without exchange server access to my:
email (use outlook on the laptop but it all comes from the exchange server)
calender: exchange server
contacts: exchange server
tasks: exchange server
I'm able to access emails, attachments, forward, reply, etc. I'm able to modify conference meeting times, and send updates from exchange to all participants. I'm able to schedule new meetings and invite attendees on the work exchange/network from my work/exchange contacts, etc, etc, etc.
I'm basically able to do everything I would do from my laptop on my phone, but with a smaller screen and keyboard.
Again I need to have all the same options that I have within outlook on my PC with email/calender/contact functions and exchange access.
Before I dive into an infuse, is this possible via the included software? or touchdown?
or do you have experiences that would lead you do suggest a different software, or a different phone all together?
I may have to wait to see if ATT will carry the HTC Titan since that will have a windows OS, but if the infuse will work well I may take the plunge sooner and wait for LTE devices to take hold for another couple years.
Thanks for any insight!!!

Set up Outlook Web Access

Hi,
Do you guy have any experiences set up OWA on android? I try MS exchange but get to no where. I van access to the email using web browsing on my inspire. And also, my email and login username are different. Please help. Tks!

You have to set it up with your company's IT department. For me, I had to submit my phone's O'Neil to them.

If your company has OWA, then it has an exchange backend. I have heard that some of the froyo mail client's don't like exchange though. Flash to a gingerbread rom and try it. The ginger mail app is much better than the froyo one in my opinion. Touchdown is a great mail cilent for android. I have been using it since day 1 on my inspire and it works great. I set to poll every 5 min to conserve battery. You can even set Out of Office on Touchdown! highly recommended!

My company also has OWA for all its employees. So when it came time to set up Exchange on now several smart phones, I just used the same basic settings for Outlook as if I was logging into OWA. E.g., when I log into OWA I use employee # for user name, and not my full email address. In manual Exchange mail setup there is a field for user name. Also, I have to specify a specific Domain, which is also part of my login on OWA and on site at work. Also, from what I have gleaned, a lot of companies, mine included, does not require SSL encryption, nay, if the option is selected, the connection will fail. Hope maybe this helps someone...

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?
C.

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

Surface doesn't support Pop3

Did you guys know this?
I think I am screwed for my email accounts.

Trying to sort out email alternatives with forwarding and such. MS has really come up with a convoluted email system, with their Outlook.com alias, etc.
I like the Surface, but I am a techy - I can see where the average user will have issues wit hthe way they do things and the lack of easy help.

It has options for pop3...What type of email do you have that it's giving issues with??

It has an option for Pop, but when you choose it, it will come up with an error saying its not supported . I see there are workarounds with forwarding and such but not as clean.
Until I can sort out I am forwarding all my mail through Gmail which I can pull into the Surface
The email that is causing all this is roadrunner.com

I didn't have any issues setting up my pop3 account hosted with ipower

you may need update the build-in mail app in Windows Store to newest version.

its not only RT. The windows 8 mail app doesnt support pop...... yet.

That is a curious decision by Microsoft. I haven't used a pop account in at least three years so no big deal for me.

Windows Live Mail
Windows Live Mail supports POP3, so there's a free alternative. I haven't used POP3 in a long time, except with my comcast account, which I don't need to check everywhere, but I do have it configured in WLM.
So, I just checked my Surface, and sure enough, it does NOT support POP mail accounts. It actually tells you right when you choose POP that it's not supported and requests you ask your provider to supply IMAP or Exchange accounts.

I bought the surface two days ago on the Microsoft Store opening on San Juan. I did it tomuse it more to work and the first think I did was try to installs my work email. It is a pop3 and I really can't believe is not working... this should be a business oriented tablet.
I tried the work around but I need when I replay an email to go with my work email, not my Hotmail account.
If some one know an app that do it please let me know.

The Mail app is generally complete junk for any non-EAS accounts. It literally would've been more fully-featured if they just ported over the Windows Phone 7.5 mail app (which supports POP3). IMAP support is horrendous (WP7's is also not great, but less atrocious), and lots of certificate-related issues.
Currently my main email account (IMAP) half-works-- sometimes emails load, but nothing sends (permanently stuck in outbox), and two other IMAP accounts don't work at all (doesn't accept the settings, which work fine on Outlook and WP7.5). Exchange accounts generally work fine.
The message they give you after you select POP3 might as well have a trollface on there.

I don't have the surface. But in add and remove, Windows companies, mail service, you need to check the pop protocol. I know my orders aren't as it is on the screen. But it's what I can remember.

That menu 1) doesn't exist in Windows RT and 2) even on Windows 8, it only affects Outlook, not the Metro Mail app.

I can't believe we are now a month after release of the Surface and still no POP3, or Mail program fix. On other forums and MS' own support forum, people are fuming about this stupid decision to ignore POP3 and people are returning. I know moit email providers have gone IMAP, but there are plenty of big ones who haven't yet and isn't MS all about customer choices.
Another thing - even in IMAP, if your SMTP outgoing server doesn't have SSL then you won't be able to send mail either. The only email I have that works is Gmail, and its the one I don't use much. Can't send business mail from my Surface.
I guess they want this thing to fail so they can upsell us all to the Surface Pro. . .

I am totally agreed. I read that MS push updates every second Tuesday of the month, so hopefully they fix it...

"Oh no! MS prioritized the better, faster, more secure protocol instead of the vestigial sack of puss my primary email still uses! How ridiculous!" -Everyone in this thread.
They'll get around to pop3, but is forwarding your mail to an imap account really a nuisance? You'll get all the advantages of imap AND the original pop account acts as a backup for all mail in case something goes wrong.

Yes it is - SMTP is broken too for some mail servers - I can't send a stupid work email with my real email address, which is IMPA on incoming.
Your response of get around to it sounds absurd a month after launch. Believe it or not some mail providers still do use POP3, and we shouldn't have to change our email to use the surface. Its things like this that will kill RT before it even gets off the ground.
News is that MS is already cutting back on production of the Surface - Here we go.
