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

What features does the captivate support with exchange? Remote wipe etc...
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Since when does Exchange have a remote Wipe feature?
Exchange works just fine for me, it integrates contacts, calendar, email. Compared to windows mobile, it seems like it works pretty much flawlessly. I actually receives emails faster than outlook

Remote wipe is dependent on your version of Exchange - Exchange 2007 supports it and is user selectable (webmail -> options -> mobile devices)
There are some bugs in the current captivate Exchange implementation:
1. Email - shows all folders under inbox, but only syncs inbox in real time. You need to open other folders and then it syncs. Not configurable
2. Contacts - Groups don't work, nor do they work with Google, unless you are using the AT&T address book - then they sort of work
3. Calendar - no selectable data - so if you have URL or Phone numbers in the calendar meeting you need to "Edit" then Copy, then paste to get a phone number out.
Otherwise PUSH and Sync work very well. They also have a feature that only WinMo ever implemented - Peak and off Peak times for data sync. So you can turn off PUSH while you sleep and on weekends - if you want.
Hopefully everyone will contact Samsung about these bugs.

Since Exchange 2003 SP2 or later, IIRC. And since WM 5.0 and later.
Other than above mentioned shortcomings, I also found following issues with current Captivate Exchange support:
1. Deleted individual meetings from a recurring event still show up.
2. Some reported that deleted folders still show up as well.
3. No option to chose which folder to sync.
In addition, I don't believe it supports any of the encryption policy that may be required by your corporate IT.
IMO, the exchange support in Android is very basic and barely meets the requirement of most corporate IT.
I wonder if the Froyo Exchange client is better? Does anyone know?
@NFSSAM - Exchange has had remote wipe capabilities since Exchange 2003.
@alphadog00 - Here's another one: The Captivate shows folders that are in your recycle bin as accessible folders in Exchange.
Most Android phones do not support the password policy or encryption. My company requires at least a 4 digit password and the pattern lock does not meet that requirement so when I attempt to set up exchange, I of course receive an error. Touchdown is the best app I have found that supports all policies. You get a password prompt when accessing any Exchange data. The only phones that I have found that support password policies out of the box are HTC since they have their own Exchange client built in to Sense.
Yeah the security policies thing is a problem with my exchange as well.
Also, you cannot access the corporate contact lookup u less you added them to your contacts list in outlook.
Remote wipe does not work either.
Froyo adds a lot more features to exchange but it could be a while before we get 2.2.

Hello,
I just purchased the G2X with the understanding that it supports exchange corporate email. When I try to setup the email, I get the error "this server requires security features your phone does not support". I have tried checking both of the security certificate boxes and confirmed that I am entering the right address.
Does the phone support Exchange? My company uses Exchange 2007.
Thanks for your help,
Lance
The built in mail client is pretty bad for exchange tbh. My particular issue was that it could not let me see the contents of most of my folders. I've started using touchdown for exchange, it has a free 30 day trial and is much better.
I saw options for exchange 2007 when installing it so hopefully it supports your company's security policy. It does and auto detect of server config on initial setup.

Exchange works fine for me here. You might want to check with your IT department. If there is anything wrong with the way they setup OWA or what ever it is called to access exchange over the web, then you might have issues.
Yup, Exchange works fine for me. It uses DAV over OWA instead of true ActiveSync, but only WinMo supports REAL ActiveSync anyway. In practice you really can't tell the difference.
I also use touchdown for exchange. It's pretty nice and also you get 90 day trail if you download from amazon app store.

Exchange 2007 works here
We use hosted exchange 2007 at our company and the stock app works for me as well. +1 for talking to your IT department or trying Touchdown.
They'll need to enable support for non-provisionable devices on the Exchange server for the ActiveSync policy assigned to you. Or you can go with Touchdown as suggested as Touchdown has a better ActiveSync implementation than the stock client.
I've tried researching this and the only solution I found for checking my hotmail account, which just happens to be my #1 email account I use, is by either setting it up as an email account, which wouldn't work well for me because I use alot of folders, or by using it through the internet interface just by hyperlink, which doesn't work too well for me because of the size. Is Microsoft intentionally ignoring a huge market just because it's a competing OS or is there anything on the horizon about a hotmail/windows live mail app for Android coming down the pipe?
No idea about M$ intentions. Anyway, unless a service offers IMAP access, I would not touch it with 10ft pole, let alone use it as primary email. WLM uses MAPI crappy Exchange protocol, enough said.
Forward the mail to somewhere else where you can access it via IMAP.

You should be able to set it up as an exchange activesync account. It is fairly new and not widely known that you can do it that way. You will need to select corporate sync with manual setup. Use the following settings:
Username: full email address
Domain - leave blank
Server: m.hotmail.com
That should set it up with full push notifications and folder sync. It doesn't work on every android device but should on most.

Hi!
A strange thing I really can't explain.
Our corporate firewall blocks gmail imap/smtp ports ( 993, 587, ... ) to force users to use the webmail only.
Infact, outlook, thunderbirds, telnet, and so on cannot contact pop.gmail.com:993 and smtp.gmail.com:587.
BUT via the same corporate wifi:
blackberry using stock bb client -> can read/send email
android using stock gmail client -> can read/send email
ipad2 using stock apple client -> can read but cannot send email
I'm one of the lucky android users but I wonder how can the gmail client connect to mother google if ports are blocked?!
Thanks,
Luca.
It may be a security restriction applied to the PC rather than firewall.

It could be but it isn't.
There is no security to the pc, there is only a firewall.
Ten minutes ago I did a test on my android.
I configured my gmail account on the plain email app using pop.gmail.com:993 and smtp.gmail.com:587 and it works via mobile data.
Then I switched off mobile data and corporate wifi on.
plain email app: can't send/receive (cannot contact server) as expected
gmail app : can send/receive.
L.
The native Gmail app uses Google API over HTTP and thus is firewall proof.
iCloud uses a combination of HTTP and other ports hence you can partially read some messages.
Any other 3rd party client will use the regular ports for those protocols and won't work behind a restrictive firewall.
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.
