A How to: Make HTC Mail work with Hotmail (Active Sync) - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

Hi guys,
I have been wondering on the internet for days now looking for a solution to solve the problems going on with HTC Mail with sync-problems using Hotmail Exchange Active Sync. I am talking about the not getting the mails to sync with Hotmail being read/unread from your phone and deleting e-mails. Moving and pulling e-mails works just fine with the Gingerbread version.
Now, I have found a solution on accident on how to solve this freaking annoying problem so we can all continue to use HTC Mail with it's nice widget. See if you can get your hands on the Moxier Mail application through Applanet. Install it, and set it up with your Hotmail account. It's important to leave the Hotmail Active Sync account in your HTC Mail and do not delete it. Make sure Moxier Mail syncs with everything, including your mail, contacts, calendar and tasks. Wait for it to finish, then send yourself a test-mail and open it through Moxier. After that it's okay to uninstall Moxier now. After uninstalling you'll find HTC Mail's sync problems are *poof*, gone!
This has only been tested on my HTC Desire running 2.3.3 InsertCoin. Please try it out yourselves if you're camping with this problem and post up the results and your phone model.
I hope this solves a lot of headaches. Happy trying .
Regards, Slisher.
P.S.: You can always PM or e-mail me regarding any questions.

Worked on my HTC Desire HD (running 2.3.3).
Might get to try on a HTC Wildfire S in the next few days.

help wanted!

I have a branded HTV magic Vodafone.
For business use, i want to have the same Mail AND Calendar (exchange syncable) as the HTC branded version.
I tried a lot of ROM's but always with the same effect, no exchange syncing only gmail. finding a mail program that works is no problem, but it seems that the exchange calander is nowhere to be foud.
i installed Roadsync, and tried Touchdown but it is not the calendar i am after.
i want to have the original HTC version. i have read many threads, googled my fingers blue, but nope...
i might have overlooked a thread or a link, but has anybody, anyone got the HTC calendar, or a calender that syncs with Exchange?
i found it!
Finally, after installing ROM no 20, jacheroski 1.5 i have my Exchange agenda! W00t! it's still slow, but he! it works!
So I take it your problem is solved?
A suggestion to help you get better support is to have your post tile more describing. And even updating it when it is solved by marking it solved.
In my opinion that would help the community.

Email not sync'd properly.

hello,
Is there a solution for my exchange mail not syncing properly? The problem is that new email syncs fine, but when I change a mail in Outlook on the laptop, the change in most cases does not sync to the phone.
Some info:
Android version :2.3.5
Kernel version : 2.10.161.3
Can anyone help me? What do I need to do? Flash a custom ROM?

Are you using Exchange mail? Outlook is delaying changes, I've noticed it too. Eventually they go through, on the next change. I'm blaming Outlook, because sometimes forced update still doesn't bring the changes, but if you do something else in Outlook and/or force-update it - it propagates to the phone.
Hi Jack,
Sorry, but I believe it is.something else.... When I use another client on my Desire (like thunderbird) the changes sync properly. However I would like to keep the stock email app. Problem seems primarily in the inbox. When I move a mail from inbox to another folder, it is present in both inbox and the other folder on my Desire S.

Hotmail-Exchange Issue

Hey all
Yesterday I bought a HTC One S. I set up my Homtail Account via Exchange AS and the following Problem occurs. When adding an event to the calendar the phone starts syncing and eats up all the battery but it isn't able to write to that calendar on the server so that i can see it at my pc.
If i delete the account and add a hotmail account under Accounts & Synchronizing the calendar syncing works but I am not able to add or edit Hotmail Contacts..
This functions are working on my old Desire Z with 2.3 and on my Transformer 101 without any problems. Told that the guys from HTC Support -> They told me to exchange the phone. ridiculous...and absolutely not a qualyfied answer
So it can't be a Server issue... WTF is wrong? has anyone an idea? Has anyone else this problems?
Thx in advance.

Don't have any issue here with default mail app. Did you guys set it up as Exchange mail or something else. I'm using Hotmail exchange server setting.

I don't know what that is. That's probably your problem. When I was using Samsung Galaxy S1/S2 phones, the default Hotmail setting always uses POP mail settings.
So, I always manualy setup my Hotmail using Exchange server settings:
UserName: your hotmail email address
Password: your account password
Server: m.hotmail.com
The default hotmail setup in accounts is newer, uses the correct exchange account settings. The problem is the sync itself, not sure where the problem lies, bit its annoying. You can manually create the exchange account and its still messed up.

I'm using the stock ics mail app and it works way better my Hotmail and Gmail accounts. Sync is almost immediate.
same problem here,
any solutions yet?
Hotmail Sync
I am having the same issues. It seems to be the stock HTC email app. I have no problems with Enhanced Email or the stock Android email app. I wish there was a fix for this as I like to use the Productivity lockscreen which only works with stock HTC email client.
It (HTC Stock email) works fine for my other exchange accounts and has no problem with push.

I've got the same problem, too since i've done a hard-reset of my device.
The integrated Facebookclient got the same problem like the hotmailaccount. Syncing failed!!!
Is there any solution for the problem? I also rooted my device now and installed a custom rom but the problem is still there and very annoying beause there are no more contacts on my device.
i get the same thing if i use the hotmail setup under accounts. i just used the generic email setup instead and it works fine for email. i don't think you get the calender sink that way but i don't use hotmail for my calender.
i have 2 hotmail accounts one from 00' and pne from 11' the second the newer working perfect the old one radomly working but never can send email from it
Mine is not just limited to hotmail...sync is experiencing problems...with facebook, skype n yeah obviously hotmail...anyone knows a workaround for this?

I do a factory reset and now both of my 2 hotmail account does not sync
So I download the hotmail app for now
Same issue here. Running Clean Rom 4.1 SE.
"Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly."
That is all she wrote.
Seems to be fixed on the newer 2.33 Asian region leak from today. Hotmail is working again for me.

Looking for some help getting HTC Mail working.

I recently switched from an HTC M8 to a OnePlus 5 running 7.1.1. I really miss the functionality of the HTC Mail app, and have been unable to find one that has all of the features I need. I have installed the Nougat version of HTC Mail, and it works for IMAP accounts, but it crashes when I try to add an exchange account.
I am hoping someone could help me out and provide a link to, or at least a list of, the other necessary apks to get exchange working in HTC Mail. On my Marshmallow powered HTC, there was an app called Exchange ActiveSync, which I imagine has something to do with it, but I don't know what all would be required.

Yes, I like HTC Mail as well. This may work for you...
Downloaded HTC Mail apk version 10.xxx from here for my PixelXL, and it runs perfectly. Needs no other dependent apps.

I just tried that one. It does work for my IMAP accounts, but will not let me add an Exchange account. Do you have an Exchange account working?
Way happens if you add an exchange account in phone settings/accounts and sync/?

In accounts you have to pick an app first. When I pick HTC Mail, it only offers POP, APOP, and IMAP under Manual Setup.
