I'm having trouble working out how to reliably send calendar invites from the stock calendar app on the ChaCha.
The calendar syncs perfectly with a google calendar using exchange sync (the google calendar is NOT associated with a gmail account, it is only associated with a Google account that is registered under a personal email address).
Very occasionaly when an event is added with additional atendees the phone manages to send the invite properly (or possibly the google calendar sends the invite when the even synchronises using exchange synch?).
Most of the time, however, I get an email dropped in the outbox of the exchange account (which has no email service associated with it).
Maybe I need to explain the accounts a bit... using examples (the names have been changed to protect the ino...etc)
Exchange account:
Account name: Joe Bloggs (Google Sync)
username: [email protected]
password: joespass
server: m.google.com
Synchronizing: calendar and contacts only
POP3 account:
Account name: [email protected]
username: [email protected]
password:joesemailpass
pop3 server: pop3.bloggs.com
smtp server: mail.bloggs.com
The Google calendar in the [email protected] Google account works fine and is sync'd to the phone no problem (as are contacts).
The POP3 email account works fine for sending and receiving email.
However, when a calendar event is created and invitees are added to the event, most of the time the email is created to be sent from the "[email protected] (Google Sync)" account and therefore fails to be sent as there is no email service associated with this account. This failing email then sits in the 'Google Sync' account outbox and the phone tries to send it repeatedly and repeatedly fails leaving an error message in the status bar at the top of the phone.
Every so often, though, the invite email gets sent correctly and is delivered to the invitees and appears in their calendars correctly...
I've tried both clicking 'Send' in he create/edit event screen, clicking 'Send' then 'Save', and just clicking 'Save' and I can;t work out any consistent behaviour.
If anyone can give me any pointers as to what I'm doing wrong.
I really don't want invites sent from a gmail account so don't want to associate email sync with the Google Sync account if at all possible. Also the fact that the invites get sent sometimes would appear to show that what I want to do is possible.
Final bit of info: The POP3 email account is configured as the default acount on the phone (so should, in theory, e the one hat invites get sent from).

HI, have you found a solution to this problem? I have something similar.
Thanks

I have a Touch HD and up until today I had it set up so that Gmail would push emails to me. It worked great, emails would be pushed to my device very quickly and I was happy
The company I work for has allowed me to configure my device to sync with my corporate Exchange server. So I stripped the gmail settings, entered all the corporate exchange info and voila, everything works fine; emails, contacts etc. are all in sync as I'd expect.
i was going to just add on my gmail account as an imap account, but I'll miss the emails being pushed to me. The account is set up as my Windows live account, so after googling it seems I can do both using Windows Live Mobile. I've set everything up in Windows Live Mobile with my gmail account credentials and I've set the sync to happen 'as items arrive'; it reports as being connected, but I can't see my emails anywhere; only my corporate inbox appears on the touchflo email tab.
Can anyone provide a bit of help, either this doesn't work as reported or (likely) I'm cocking it up somewhere...
use active sync?
server: m.google.com
user: [email protected]
pass:gmail pass
Not sure if this is common knowledge or not, but one of the things that has been frustrating me the most about my first Android phone is that I seemingly needed to use both the Gmail app and the HTC Mail app in order to achieve push email for both my gmail account and my exchange account from work.
After searching I found that this is a problem with the Evo's implementation because of the limitation of HTC Mail only allowing one exchange account (and exchange accounts are the only that can use push in HTC Mail) and Gmail app only allowing, well Gmail of course.
Then I found the apk for the stock android email application. I read that this would allow for multiple exchange accounts to be setup, which obviously means Exchange will work with it, but then I can also setup my Gmail as an exchange account, and get push for both.
Thanks to rhedgehog for providing the apk here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=676069
And here is the information on setting up your gmail account through exchange:
username: [your full email i.e. [email protected]]
password: [your gmail password]
server: m.google.com
ssl: yes
accept certs: yes (not really sure this needed, but I checked it)
There are some caveats to this. Through the stock email, it only presents you with the option of syncing email and contacts. Due to this, I still setup my Google account through the phone's settings interface and had the Google account only syn calendar. I did the same for my work and setup an Activesync Exchange account to just sync calendar. In the end up, I have under settings > accounts, I have two "Corporate" accounts syncing only email/contacts, one Activesync Exchange syncing only calendar, and one Google account syncing only calendar. I am not sure if this affects battery life, but being that they are all using push, I don't see how this setup would use any more life that just two push accounts doing all three (calendar, contacts, and email). Email and contacts I have run through the email's exchange account.
The other issue I have with this setup is that I have not found a widget yet that integrates with the stock email client. So far all that I have seen intergrate with Gmail app, HTC Mail app, K9, Touchdown, but not the stock email app. Also I heard this client doesn't work with attachments, but this hasn't presented a huge problem for me yet.
Anyway, hope this helps someone. I know I was just really annoyed by having to use to different applications for my emails. There is even the combined inbox or separate inboxes to view so that it satisfies those like me that want it all together, versus those who want to view them separately.
Hi,
I'm using an WM6.1 Sprint HTC Snap right now. I'm using my gmail account as an exchange server and that is my primary email account for both receiving and sending emails. I also use my hotmail account very occasionally so I just recently set that up too.
My problem is that after I added the hotmail account, any time I try to send an email it automatically defaults to the hotmail account to send from, and also when I open up my inbox it always shows the hotmail account first.
Is there any way to make it default to sending through the outlook exchange (gmail) account and default to that inbox first? This is really annoying me and I might as well just remove the hotmail account if this is not changeable.
if i go into emails it downloads them no problem, next time i go into emails it deletes the ones already there, yet i don't receive these emails on my PC either .Why is it deleting them and is there any way to stop it
Are you using the GMail client or the other one ("Email")?
If the latter, are you using POP/IMAP, or Exchange? If it's not Exchange, I'd suggest you embrace your GMail account - you can configure it to collect email from other accounts - and use the GMail app. This has the extra advantages that you have a central contacts list, and can view your emails on any computer with a browser too.
use the other email and its a pop account ,so are you saying use g mail and set up my pop account on there, already have my g mail account set up on the email appr
There is most likely a setting to remove the mail off the server when you pull it into the app, thus deleting it off your regular mail server, and why you aren't seeing it on your pc. I'd poke around the settings a bunch and see what is up.

I set up a few POP accounts in the appropriate client, but I think the only 'delete/remove from server' option was only when emails were deleted locally. I'm not sure about the default behavior - whether it is 'download and remove from server' or just 'download a copy and leave on server'.
checking in the client settings, it's under Incoming Settings, and the options are only
"Delete email from server -"
and the two options are 'When I delete from Inbox' or 'never'.
That tells me the client should NOT be removing/deleting emails from the server except possibly when you delete a mail from the inbox. IIRC, the default setting was 'never'.
Combat, do you perhaps have a client running on a computer somewhere that may be periodically checking and removing the mail from the server? This is a common thing with email servers - someone leaves an email program running on a computer which is set to download and remove mail from the server... then the mail doesn't show up on their phone.
Incoming setting were set as never delete mail from server so unchecked it and rechecked it again ill see what happens

There's probably a setting in the Email app for leaving mail on the server, but personally I get my GMail account to pick up mail for all my POP accounts.
You can configure GMail (through the web interface) so that you can send emails out as if from your other accounts too.
For example, if someone emails me at [email protected] then it gets picked up by my Gmail account. If I then hit reply, GMail will use [email protected] as the 'from' address. If I reply to an email sent to my gmail.com address, the reply will come from my gmail.com address.
So you don't have to mess around with 2 different apps, you have all your email in one place, accessible from anywhere, with a single contacts list. Win/Win.
Hi all
I have problem with my email, when i down email from my company server in device but don't keep it after delete mail on mail server.
thanks
Most likely you're using an Exchange server and the IMAP4 Protocol. IMAP has synchronized email inboxes, so deleting an email on the server should delete the email from all synched inboxes (your phone).
Maybe try setting up a POP3/STMP account, I guess that could work if you want your email inboxes to be not syncrhronized.
