Multiple Accounts and Messengers - Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there any way to have multiple accounts with access to messenger on both of those accounts i cannot seem to get it to work ?

Natively, nop. Just one. You can still use IM+ if version 1.2 (I guess), which still have support to MSN. Non sense from MS force them to remove it. Some people have more than one account.

To clarify that a bit, since I'm considering a Lumia 800. Can the 1 account I'll be using for messenger be a different one from the one I used to sync the phone? I never intend to use the latter one on MSN.
Explain it a bit more:
I have a hotmail and a gmail account.
Gmail is my XboxLive, GFWL, FB, twitter etc. and my main mail account but it's not the one I use for MSN Messenger.
Hotmail is the one I'm using for MSN Messenger.
So I take it I can log to MSN Messenger only from the Gmail one? Don't want to have them both for MSN, just the hotmail account, while having the Gmail as my main "phone" account.

In your case you could not use messenger if you associate your gmail as the main account on the device.

Thanks for the reply.
Is it possible to do the opposite as a workaround?
What I mean is, using the example from my previous post, sync the phone with the Hotmail account to have my MSN messenger online and then use the Gmail as secondary e-mail account, account used in XBOXLive etc.
Besides MSN are the rest of the features only available to the main e-mail account?

Hotmail POP3 access from Inbox...

Has anyone with premium Hotmail account managed to make POP access work from within the Inbox client?
I have three premium (paid for) Hotmail accounts that I wish to quickly access WITHOUT having to sign-in and out from one to the other everytime single time.
Having the Inbox app download my emails automatically from all three accounts at the same time every 15mins is what I'm hoping for.
I have tried PocketMSN and WindowsLive apps, but they both handle only one account at a time. Also I have tried the pop3.live.com and smtp.live.com servers with no success.
I'm using a WM5 Athena.
Thanks for any help.
I heard hotmail got rid of the pop3.
Try pop3.email.msn.com
smtp.email.msn.com
Thanks, but apparently they pulled the plug on those servers. And for some reason the new live.com mail servers do not work with the Inbox app. But have read some are successfuly using them with Outlook. Maybe an SSL thing.
I just can't believe my Blackberry can handle mail so much better than this thing. It can automatically download several accounts, hotmail (free or Premium), gmail, pop3, you name it, right out of the box.
I'm in LOVE with my Athena but this is a deal breaker for me (and darn pricey one). Specially after MS making so much fuzz about so called 'direct push technology'.
why pay for hotmail when gmail offer all that for free?
True, Gmail is way better.
But even before Gmail existed, I already had Hotmail accounts that I used extensively. After some years, it is hard to move to a new address. Most of the contacts and registrations everywhere point to those emails.
But never mind. I found the solution. It is HTTPMail. It allows me to create several new email accounts (even several Hotmail and/or MSN accounts). AND integrates very cleanly with pocket inbox.
Now I have two hotmail accounts, one msn account and three pop3 email accounts that are automatically check every 10mins (my setting) right from pocket inbox and are shown in the today inbox plugin.
Awesome!
Now I only wish I could uninstall Windows Live.

keeping Gmail and Outlook (Exchange) synced up?

Hello all,
Does anyone know of a way that would allow me to use an Exchange account and keep it synced up to my Gmail account?
By that I mean messages marked as read/deleted would replicate to both?
I pay for an Exchange account but really just use it for my calander and contacts as I primarily use Gmail (imap) on my Tilt. I've got it set to check for messages every 10 minutes but would prefer to use my Exchange account if I could get it to sync up with Gmail.
Thanks
David

Gmail and Exchange push together in one app

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.

Question about using POP account through Hotmail

Hi,
Till now I am using Gmail to fetch my pop3 accounts and it is just perfect.
But it doesn't really syncing with WP.
The main question is, if I migrate my pop3 accounts from Gmail to Hotmail, is it will be possible (on my phone) to send emails from various accounts?
It will only be possible if you add the POP account's login info to your WP7 device.
as a separate mail account?
Correct. You don't really have to sync them, if you don't want to, but that will make sending replies pretty hard.
I did not understood..
How exactly I have to set the accounts?
The phone doesn't support custom FROM fields, so far as I know. You can sync your POP3 (people still use that?) accounts to the phone and reply from them, of course. If you get your POP3 accounts through Hotmail, they'll probably show up on the phone but the replies will appear to come from Hotmail.
OK, I see that here is no way to use just one inbox for now as Microsoft advertise Hotmail...
Sad because Gmail on Android works perfect, I wish here were also.
Well, you could certainly sync your POP3 accounts to the phone, and then merge the inboxes for them with your Hotmail or Gmail (or both) accounts. Then, it's a "one inbox" experience on the phone, certainly.
The main thing is not how they will look like on the phone.
For me is important to be in one place- gmail or hotmail..

Anyone having sync issues with yahoo mail on gmail app?

Rather than using the yahoo mail app i simply use gmail to access my yahoo account, but for the last few weeks it hasn't been syncing.
I delete the account and re add it and it works for a day but then it stops syncing, i delete the account again and add it and it works for another day but then it stops. Any idea what the issue could be? Is yahoo neutering anyone that isn't using their app to check mail?
All the time. It's been like this for months.

Surely yahoo has been scrambling to fix this issue... no?
Experience this since the July 16 update. Before this, gmail doesn't support 2-step verification for Yahoo and you need to generate a password from Yahoo's setting. Now it supports 2-step verification, but the issue persists just like what @peachpuff mentioned
Yahoo Email is a good mail client but it is not properly working for a few years. if you want to switch yahoo mail then you can go Gmail Email client. It is good and fast work. you can recover old data in Gmail mail client with a third-party tool. Visit here more info: softaken yahoo to Gmail software
