Send calendar invites via IMAP not activesync

Hi
I don't know if its possible by I need to send calendar invites via IMAP as I never use activesync (I sync via SyncML with our server for contact/tasks/calendar).
All calendar invites are always put in the activesync outbox. Is there anyway to re-direct them to the IMAP account I have set up? Is there another mail application I should be using?
Thanks
Jonathan

Am i mistaken assuming that calendar invites are sent thru mail using the first connection your device can find?
Aren't calendar invites regular emails with different scripts?

They always seem to end up in the outlook email outbox - even though this is the third mailbox in the list.

i tried it myself and apparently there isn't even an option to move it to another account.. only accepts the outlook account itself. maybe WM doesn't support sending invites to attendees thru anything other than AS...
I suggest you change the thread's topic to [REQ] Mail Invite Attendees...
or something of that sort.. I'm almost positive someone would answer.

Calendar > Menu (right Softkey) > Tools > Options > Appointments (Tab) Send Meeting request via:
select your email account

stupid me. didn't think to check there.
lol
good thinkin

thats strange! oO

Ok, so invites now go from my IMAP account fine but the details are being messed up somewhere.
I created an appointment for today 12:00 - 13:00 and sent the invitation to my wife who is using XP, Office 2003 SP3. When she got it it said the meeting was 10:30-10:30.
Both my HTC Touch HD and wife's PC are set to GMT and regionally to UK
I'm confused. What have I not got set right?

I don't know if this problem still exists, but there used to be a problem with outlook in which if the outlook time settings didn't match the pc's time settings it made all appointments change.
go to outlook and search for the time settings.. check that it's not syncing your appointments with a server or something.

google sinc and messy contact problem

ok. SO I am officially sick and tired of having to re do contacts and apps after every flash. I have google sinc checked, but no apps ever seem to auto re download, except maybe maps and another... as well as every time i have to re do my contact list, add from sim to phone, then add in facebook contacts. what am i doing wrong? why do i always have to re link up contacts and why is it always so messy, with like duplicates and contacts with 2 of the same number? is there some damn guide to that? am I missing something or is it always suppose to be a pain in the ass?
any help is greatly appreciated. I can sit here and flash a new rom in ten minuets and spend a hour or more re doing my damn contact list, apparently it doesnt like me...
I tryed save to Sd card, but then I had the problem of it loading in MORE duplicate files, and if I do that Im assuming I cant have facebook contacts with out same problem ? ? what do you guys do and what am i doing wrong? Thanks

Have you tried to use google to sync your contacts to it? This can be done in settings-accounts-and checking the sync contacts.
Also, have you tried titanium backup to backup contact data?
I have never tried either of these since I just user my sim card for contacts, but maybe one of these will save you an got after each flash.

wow umm i just went through this.. it does get messy but it can be fixed and have your phone, google and facebook ALL sync to the same correct contact..
Back up to SD first (you did)
Phone Contacts> Menu button> More >Display
UNCHECK PHONE
CHECK GOOGLE
Phone Contacts> Menu button> Settings> Save new contacts to GOOGLE
go to gmail.com on computer > import contacts > use backup on SD card
phone Settings> Accounts and Sync > Google> Sync contacts
now all new contacts automatically go to google and sync to phone.
for facebook use built in facebook syncing, not the App based syncing.
Phone contacts> menu button > get freinds > Facebook >check ones you want to sync.
Go through contact list, LONG Press contact> Join Contact

2 issues though, syncing with google contacts I believe doesnt let me set custom ringtones.
and the other is that when i sync with google i seem to get all the damn emails ive ever communicated with over like 10 years so its like a billion random emails ( craigslist, ebay, work, school, ect.)

I believe you can use custom ringtones with google contacts..I just tried mine and I have the option to use them.
All my contacts are synced with google...so when I flash a ROM, I just add my google account and all the contacts are there. Plus I like the fact I can control my contacts in gmail. Go to your contacts in gmail and choose what you want there...
As for apps, use titanium backup to back them up.

I use contacts groupu from the market. Works great for groups then all u have to do is set the ringtone after a flash. Works great for me! Let me know if u need any help.

Mail and SMS app

Last time I used Android there was a SMS and Mail app, I recently got a Nexus 5 (Lollipop) and I have hangout and gmail, is there anyway I can remove hangout and gmail and use the sms and email app? By the way my device is already rooted (couldn't wait )

I personally love Hangouts, but there's also the "Messenger" app which is the new SMS. As far as email goes, the old Email app has been integrated into Gmail. Settings / Add Account.

This doesn't belong in General. You should post questions in the Q/A section.

Sorry about this can you please move it to Q/A.

No problem I have contacted a Moderator. Should get moved soon. You might want to read the XDA rules before making any more threads in the future. Thanks for understanding

But to answer your question. You can use root uninstaller or Titanium Backup to uninstall system apps. Then grab what ever apps you want from the play store. All google apps were moved to the play store including messaging and email apps

I got the messenger app and it's perfect, is there a replacement app for gmail so I can add my emails, it's very frustrating to have to use Gmail, specuially when you need switch between emails quickly.

Use the messenger and email app from AOSP GAPPS.

It only takes 2 clicks to switch between added email accounts in Gmail. IMHO that's about as quick and simple as it could get (and if memory serves, the same number of clicks required in the old Email app).

There are email apps that will combine your inboxes if that is what you are looking for. I use mail droid. But just have a look on the Play store.

SMS Backup+ alternative?

Is there any alternative to old SMS Backup+ app? I want SMS messages uploaded to Gmail and watch them like conversation. SMS Backup & Restore is great but not that great because messages are in .xml file and I can't see contacts separetly.

Maybe you can try Coolmuster Android Backup Manager, if your phone is Android based. This tool can help us back up text messages and other data from Android phone to the computer easily. Then you can check it easily. And more, it's free to do that. Just have a try.

actually I tried on another way.I have web hosting and now I upload SMS messages to the server.
But I have email address from web hosting paired with gmail my messages are not mowed on gmail.
But at least now I can upload messages online.

how and what do you use to upload to your server?

I already have my own blog website. So I created another email address which is used only for SMS backup. And then put IMAP settings from this email to SMS Backup+

okay thanks
I read up on accessing it this way using an app password
how safe is this though do you know?
seems like if the sms+ app was compromised, they would have a password to get into my gmail account which bypasses 2factor

I don't know how safe it is. But if they want to get into your gmail account that would do even when it was only one click away from connecting.
But now they can access only to your another email address.

ahhh
I was thinking of my main gmail
I'll just make a gmail account for SMS texts only, thanks!!

Oh, you thinking of mail gmail account. Maybe you can try other email providers, like yahoo.
On your gmail you can only transfer emails. But because it was in different folder gmail did not automatically transfer. You need to do it manually. It's annoying, yes.
But more safely because you can select what you want to transfer.

Question How do I get Outlook's calendar to be visible on Samsung Calendar? (Exchange is throwing errors)

Hello
How do I get my Outlook calendar to appear on my my Samsung Calendar (on my Samsung S22 Ultra, which is running Android 13)?
Background
I am using Outlook /Office365 on my Windows10 PC.
I am also using the Microsoft Outlook app on my S22 Ultra.
If I go to Android's Settings ==> Accounts and Backup ==> Manage accounts ==> johnsmith@johnsmith.com/Exchange ==> Sync account /Sync on for all items... then I get this error message.

I have tried uninstalling & the reinstalling ALL Microsoft apps, including Outlook, Microsoft 365 (Office), OneDrive, Authenticator etc.
Removing the account and then re-adding it back in doesn't get rid of the above errors.
It looks like Exchange itself on my phone is corrupted.
What should I do?

PS If all else fails, is there a way of backing up ALL my data, doing a factory reset, and then reinstalling everything?

Have you just given away your email ID in the post? If so, delete it.
I see that you have added your Microsoft account to your Gmail app. Is that correct?
Is your email syncing fine?
I add my Microsoft account to my Gmail by creating an app password in my Microsoft account and use that in the password field:
Domain/ Username is same as your email address.
All my calendar entries in Microsoft account automatically show up in my Google Calendar, which would also show up in my Samsung Calendar (even though I don't use it).
All your Microsoft account data like emails, contacts, calendar entries are saved in your Microsoft account in the cloud. You don't have to back them up manually.
There is nothing wrong with your phone.

Do you have a gmail e-mail account or an outlook one? If it's the latter another easier way is to keep your outlook separate and just choose it from the manage your accounts setting and just synch your outlook calander right there. I use the samsung calander app to access my outlook calander and go from there.

No, I hate Google's violation of our privacy!
So no, I don't want to use google more than I absolutely have to.
[ Yes, I have a gmail email address - which i barely use, and I only have it because I have an Android phone.]
To get clear, I want to only use Microsoft and not Google.

On your screenshot, you have added your Exchange account to Gmail app, isn't it?

Hi, do you have a two step password verification enabled in your Outlook account, like authorizing use the Authenticator app or something alike? This could be preventing the calendar to be added.

I had the same problem. There is a toggle where you enable it in the email settings.
Let me see if i can find it again.
