My work email comes into my phone through Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync. Most of it works fine - my calendar and contacts are synched, and I get my mail fine. But, I cannot send, forward, or reply to any of my work emails. My coworkers are starting to think I don't like them
From reading other forums, this has been a continuing problem with MT4G. I really don't want to have to buy touchdown just so I can do my job. What I really want is for my phone to work the way it should. The most recent post I've seen online is a quote from HTC stating that "their Android devices do not support Exchange 2010". Is this true?
I found a posting on TMobile that gives instructions for adding an Exchange e-mail account using manual setup. Will this solve the problem?
I'd rather not delete this email account and then re-install it manually if it isn't going to help the problem. Help?

I setup a mail2web email account with push access to my Cing 8125 and it works beautifully. I'm using this mostly, however, as a way to reliably get my gmail, so my gmail is forwarding to this address. I don't really want another "active" email address to give out, so I would like to be able to reply to the forwarded emails and have it appear as though it came from my gmail. I read mail2web's knowledge base and didn't find anything. Anybody know of a way?
I also need to know how to do something like this with outlook and pop3 adresses. I've got 4 emails set up with outlook and they all sync to my device just under "outlook email" that doesn't bother me. But what does is when someone sends me and email and i reply with my device, sync, and then later figure out that it replied through and email that it wasn't sent to.
I have different adresses for different people/occasions etc. So i don't really want a person thats emailing me on one account to know of my other account.
Looking to do this as well. Any ideas?
Did anyone find a way to do this? I would like to use mail2web service but I don't want to confuse people when I reply from @mail2web.com instead of @gmail.com
Thank you
You guys where so good at helping me before I was hoping you could try again!
I have been searching for the way to fix this and the best I seem to be able to come up with on here is the Moblie2web site but this doesnt do what my wife wants (or atleast for free!)
My wife had a Curve on this I would send her my calendar and updates as I fly around this vast country of ours. She would update me on when she and the kids would be home or not. Our calendars always in syn both on the laptops and the devices (me through a blackberry server from work, her by syncing to the device and just having the calendar on the device send attendees notifications) now the atendees notifications on her Fuze go into the outlook outbox and since she does email in real time not by syncing the device the invitation sits in the outbox. Is there a way to make this invitation be sent out in the mail as it was on the Curve?

Maybe Shareo would work for you, I use it with my wife cause she doesnt sync to often but atleast it in her outlook. The company has multiple software types and for the price its not bad at all

I do not think this will help as she wants to send me the invite right away off her mobile and this will still go into her outlook outbox rather then the mail outbox on her mobile device (the one thats sends out her email from the device.) Is there a away to just my the invites go to the correct outbox?
I hope I am reading this right.
You want to send attendees notifications via the TP? The best way I think of is to set a pop email account on TP, then in Calendar options set send notifications via that pop account.
You could try blackberry connect software and use your blackberry option if you have not cancelled you blackberry data plan yet?
I did cancel and went to the 50 data plan
I dont know what TP is ;(
See I set up her email account from our ISP
email works fine
on BB she was able to open caalendar and invite me
the invite would be auto mail through ISP email setup on bb
now the invite goes into the "Outlook Outbox" found by going to the ISP inbox then going down to the Outlook section... It sounds confusing even to me!
First - thanks to everyone at xda for all the tips and help - what a great site!
Now don't laugh when I say that I have a T-Mobile (Danger) Sidekick. I have been happy with it but I want to replace my SK and my Pocket PC with one device instead of two.
With my Sidekick, I got a separate [email protected] account. My email came through without me checking it and I could also receive and send from some other accounts (like my personal earthlink account) The email came through without me having to check for it. (I don't know of it was push or pull but it works quite well)
I am seriously considering getting a Fuze but have some questions about email:
1 - Does AT&T give you a separate email address?
2 - I have read that I can get my personal earthlink as well as gmail and yahoo mail on the Fuze but do I need to have AT&T's "express mail" to get it?
Thanks so much.
To my knowledge, at&t doesnt give you an email address. You could use gmail with the gmail app or through opera, but im not sure if theres an app that would work with the touchflo 3d tab. If you have a live account you can use windows live mail and that does work with the tf3D tab. Im not sure about earthlink or gmail though. Hope that helps.
att gives you an email address, but it's *your phone number*@att.mywireless.com or something like that.
you can also get a media net email address.
with the fuze, my yahoo mail is pushed to my phone at the sametime it appears in my web browser (if i am online at the time)
i also have active synch synch up to my corporate exchange server email using https
Thanks for the replies.
I don't have an AT&T account (yet) and I do not use Outlook for email so I am unfamiliar with both.
I still don't understand: what exactly does AT&T's "express mail" do? Will I need it in order to get my earthlink mail on a Fuze? I know I can check mail through the web browser but will the WM email client receive my earthlink email automatically or do I have to manually check for it?
I tried the MyTouch 3G last year and found that it's email sync with Hotmail was poor. If you deleted/read something from the device, it would not delete it/mark it read on the server. I tried the K-9 program, but it was pretty lame as it did not fix the above issues.
Has this been fixed? I really enjoyed all other aspects of Android, but this issue is a necessity for a phone for me.
Also, the native MS exchange server support only covered email. Have they added contacts and calendar syncing? When I had the MyTouch 3G, I bought the program "Touchdown" and that worked slick.
I am just curious to see if the Android people had advanced into the core MS functionality yet.
Thanks for any input.
POP is notoriously hard to keep in sync among multiple clients. There's usually a 'mark as read on download' setting that works ok if you only have one POP client downloading mail. When I last checked Hotmail didn't have that ability but maybe they've done some improvements. If they have an IMAP or ActiveSync option that would be the ideal solution.
In my case I don't use my Hotmail as my primary account but I still have email that goes to it. I use Gmail's ability to sync with external POP accounts to download and label my Hotmail email. This way I get my Hotmail email pushed to me like my Gmail email and I don't have to use separate email clients to read them. I also prefer Gmail's web interface and spam filter so I don't even bother going to Hotmail's site any more. The problem with this approach is that Android's Gmail app doesn't allow you to change the 'from' field so if you reply to a Hotmail email it will be from your Gmail address. This isn't an issue for me since I essentially use my Hotmail as a read-only account. If you have a similar use case then this method would probably work well for you.
Thanks for the input. It sounds like things are about the same as what I was experiencing.
I am new to Android. Have been a longtime WindowsMobile user. The Captivate has a menu to synchronize with exchange including mail, contacts and calenders. I got mail to work, but contacts and calender do not synch. I would assume it is officially supported since it is in the menu. Has anybody else got it to work, meaning can you pull contacts and calender from your exchange account down to your phone?
Yes, mine works fine. Is auto synch off under menu/synch?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Mine is working fine too. I went in and disabled the Contact synchronization and it looked like everything (mail, calendar, contacts) is all enabled by default. I think I remember seeing the settings when I initially set it up too. Go into your calendar and then into the settings and make sure it is displaying your exchange calendar. Same thing with the contacts.
Mine works great. In fact a little tooooo good. I have it syncing with my Google contacts and my exchange contacts. . .
One note. The client on the Captivate is not a full exchange client. That's apparently an Android V2.2 feature. That means there are some features that worked on my BB and my Nokia E72 that don't work on the Captivate. The most notable, and irratating is any http link embedded into an appointment note is treated as straight text. So if you have an airlines check in appointment, or link to a map - you can't just click on it and have a browser take you to the link. . . .or at least I haven't figure out how to make that work yet.
ok. The whole Activesync exchange seems very screwy on Android. I deleted exchange account and re-added it. Now, I can see and synch all my contacts, but I only get some of my calender items. I downloaded TouchDown, and via Touchdown I can sync my email but I do not see contacts or calender. I am pretty techsavvy, so this just baffles me.
Is it possible to look up a name against the GAL/company address book with the stock android client when composing an email message?
I have been able to "Lookup" emails through the GAL. Simply type a name in the To Field, hit search. You are taken to a new screen where you can do a lookup. One note though. I have not seen FULL integration with the GAL. For instance, our company has Email, Direct Dial, Fax, Cell, Address all entered in the AD. This makes it easy to look up phone numbers. Cant seem to get that to work in the phone search
having issues sending appointments from phone
I'm using Exchange and stock email client. I've tried to send meetings to people in my GAL, but they never receive the invite. Anyone else having the issue?\
This is a known issue with the captivate. Hopefully there is a fix on the way. It was supposed to work seemlessly out of the box, but there are some problems.
