I did a search and didn't find the software anywhere on XDA -
For those who don't know - you can have your exchange account synced with your G1 in real time.
The only catch, the software is $50/year - a bit expensive but I'm sure something will come out open source eventually.
The software basically grabs all your outlook data for your exchange account and syncs it into gmail contacts/calendar/mail - folders work and using googles send as 2nd email address - you can send mails via the G1 as the email address you use with exchange. It's really a pretty flawless integration of all your exchange data, quite impressive.
I've been using it for a few days and it works flawlessly - they have a free trial too if you aren't sure.
The software is called MailShadowG and can be downloaded from - www.cemaphore.com
Their support is really good too if you require it.
Sorry if this is has been mentioned before, I couldn't find it on search anywhere and wanted to share the info with others who may not have known this was here.
if all you need is the exchange calendar, then u can use google's calendar sync application to sync between google's calendar and the exchange calendar.
Hmmm. This program seems odd. I'm going to stick with TouchDown. www.nitrodesk.com

I didn't even know TouchDown existed.
A few issues I see with touchdown though - it only gives you the calendar events for one single day, and there is no real-time updating, you have to manually go in and refresh to get new email.
One thing I like about MailShadowG - is that, essentially, you are getting all the real-time push and same features of having your exchange with outlook on a Win Mo phone. Full calendar, contacts, and email in real time synced with your exchange.
Even touchdown admits to all these faults, MailShadow does virtually all these -
* Exchange 2003 support has some limitations
* Does not push email (but we're pulling hard for it)
* You have to poll periodically (please dont do it too frequently 3G downloads are rather drain'y on the battery)
* Calendar shows just one day of events (today)
* You have to refresh the calendar yourself. (the only time the calendar refreshes itself if you made a change to a non-recurring event ocurring on the same day)
* You cannot add bcc to email
* You cannot create or edit appointments
aardvark is working on exchange with full push capabilities.
Anyone offering anything that doesn't do real push email, is not worth bothering with IMO.
Push is crucial.
MailShadowG DOES do real push - since your G1 already does push with the Gmail contacts/calendar/gmail.
aad4321-
You might be out of luck then for now, just have to wait for Aardvark. MailShadow is an outlook add-on, roughly. So your PC must be on with outlook running. You must have Exchange Caching enabled as well as the ability to open imap.gmail.com to port 993 - if you can do these things you should have no problem getting it to work.
Do you get exchange at home as well on your outlook?
I was skeptical of MailShadowG at first so I used the trial, but it works extremely well, everything is near instantaneous - it syncs with the phones contacts/calendar/mail and feels just like real-time exchange like I had on my 8525.
However, due to their stupid 1 year license and rather expensive price - I'm banking on there being a cheaper/free exchange solution within the next year or so. Although I do love having all my exchange data backed up in my gmail which is kind of cool.

The program sync's your exchange data into gmail and makes it accessible via the G1 - you are still using exchange - in fact, the email you send on your G1 will be sent via your exchange email address. A major benefit to this setup is that all your exchange data is backed up on gmail servers as well. Plus, if exchange should go down, you can send via gmail (setting in the mailshadow config).

Greta, so now I have duplicate emails everywhere, that I then need to delete form my original exchange mailbox.
No thanks.

Why such negativity? It's like you just want to hate a nice piece of software.
Your only duplicate is a BACKUP.. If you delete a message in gmail (on your G1) then that message is deleted in outlook/exchange. Heck, if you READ a message on your G1 in gmail, it will instantly show up in outlook as read. And vice versa. If you move a file to a different folder on your phone, it moves that file in outlook/exchange as well.
This truly is a pretty all-encompassing exchange solution for the G1. I use it for my business and work email that's on exchange and it works really well.

Well your work sucks. Lol. Guess you'll have to keep using the Wing for now until Aardvark is finished - and that is considering Aardvark even works.
It's a shame the company won't let you sync gmail with exchange.

No, but if they're going to charge $50,- A YEAR, then I expect a proper working App, that syncs to Exchange dureclty using proper push, and not same half baked hacked together workaround using ANOTHER email client.
I think that's a pretty reasonable expectation.
If they were offering it for free, it would be an acceptable compromise for now.

But thats the thing, it's really not "half baked" - I would prefer a one time license fee and also believe it's a bit expensive for what the program does... but they are the ONLY company with a real exchange solution right now. And at the end of the day, my contacts/calendar/email is sync'd with my exchange account 100% with a backup on gmail.
I think it's overpriced but I have to have my exchange on my phone so I don't have a choice. Because of their pricing, as soon as exchange support is released I will be dumping MailShadow - if it was fairly priced, I'd probably actually keep it over a true exchange support due to the backup and gmail integration.
I would rather pay (and I did) $19 for a license from Touchdown and have my phone poll and look actually work like a real program than what this program does for $50/year. If Touchdown doesnt get some things resolved like push (most important) or the options to see or open attachments/embedded jpg's, I will hope that Aardvark comes in where Touchdown falters. But as of now, I am happy with Touchdown until something better comes along....and MailShadow is not it.

I've actually been using TouchDown and it's not that bad. I just set it to pull data every hour. One thing I'll warn you about is that it only pulls down data that hits the server after the initial connection and refresh. So, any back email you might have in your box won't be downloaded. Personally, at work I have everything on a 3 day archive, so my mailbox in 3 days won't have anything I received today, which makes it a non problem for me. But I have a feeling they'll probably fix it in the future anyway.

It may not be "half baked" but a user agent that dumps the exchange data to gmail is not a "real exchange solution." This thing would get you all sorts of static from a corporate IT department!
If it works for you, great, but it's definitely not an ideal workaround by any stretch.
It is a real exchange solution. It may not be a real exchange solution for every company - but it is for others.
For me, it actually turned my G1 into a phone that has all my exchange data in real-time push. To me, that is a solution

Touchdown is extremely limited with no push, whereas MailShadow gives you all your exchange data - both in AND out of the phone in real time. To me, that seems like a pretty ideal solution.
Considering you are using gmail/calendar/contacts - you are definitely getting a "real" program with MailShadow.
I think MailShadow is expensive, but you definitely get what they say you do, and that is ALL your exchange features you are used to, in real-time push - on the G1. You can set appointments on the calendar, get multiple days, instant notification of new emails, integrates with your phones contacts, etc.
Thats true that it doesnt have any push. But at the same time, I wont get in trouble w/my supervisors. Im in IT and we dont allow any corporate email to be forwarded anywhere (especially gmail). I work for a pharmaceutical company so obviously all email has to be secure. Company email going to Gmail is a really big concern for any big corporation, especially in the healthcare field. While I think its a good idea if its a small company or a company that doesnt care about security, it wont cut it for the others. That, on top of a 1 time fee as opposed to a yearly fee....its a no brainer. I change my polling to change by how often I need my email. If Im stepping away from my office, I have it polling every minute. If Im in the office and on my computer, I dont really need for it to be checked, so I can change it to every 5 or 10 minutes. I just hope that either they or Aardvark roll out push Exchange soon, in the meantime, I will continue to use Touchdown.
Yup, hopefully Aardvark comes out soon with a sweet Exchange solution soon.
I was searching the forum, and elsewhere, and could not get a way of solving the issues..
Problem:
1. Exchange server (office related) is occupying 'push mail' using ActiveSync definitions. Works just fine.
2. Google APPS - although it can push mail, I have to connect as IMAP or POP account , losing push mail. Works fine as well..
However- recently I have a need to get notified right away when I get an email on my google account. I can use activeSync to push google, but my current exchange server does not have POP or IMAP. I tried changing the intervals of checking my google account (using IMAP) to every 5 minutes. That works kind of OK, but my battery drainage increased to a point I have to charge before i get back home.
I looked into solutions like Chronobilis, but it did not work. I need mainly emails, not calendar and contacts to be pushed (obviously). Even a paid service is nice, but I can not use a 3rd party service if my emails are sent to an un-authorized 3rd party server, especially if servers may reside outside the US.
Any ideas?
Possible solution...
Have you tried the SEVEN Beta Program? It does provide push email capabilities for free. I used it awhile back to have multiple email accounts from Exchange and Gmail pushed to my phone.

I would try a demo of touchdown from the market it can activesync i dont recall if it can do multiple accounts or not but I thinks not but YMMV.
Seven ! that's it !!!
WOW...
Tried the solution offered , using SEVEN, and it is great. Was not only able to pusg Gmail and Exchange at the same time, but I am getting rid of ActiveSync I never liked...
Thanks guys. Prompt answer, and a damn good one too..

I have the stock email program working with exchange but I can't get Touchdown to work. I would like to get it up and running since it can handle HTML emails. When I try to activate ActiveSync it just hangs forever.
Thoughts?
I have the same issue as well. It worked for me by bypassing ActiveSync and just letting it setup Exchange 2003 mode. Trying to get ActiveSync working now.
On the plus side, it appears that Touchdown has a tablet optimized view akin to traditional Outlook.
Same here, activesync appears to be broken
IMEI
There is another thread floating around that discusses this issue...
I believe the problem with TouchDown is that it tries to send the IMEI of the device to the ActiveSync server. This is hard coded into the application, and causes problems since the GTab doesn't have an IMEI.
TouchDown support said their developer will "be in" next week and will look into the issue - their current "official" response is that WiFi-only tablets aren't supported. Who knows when we'll see an update, though.
Exchange 2003 polling is very slow and buggy, and I was only able to get it to sync my contacts (not email). I'm using the default email client until TouchDown is updated...
Please move this conversation over to the following thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=851002
There appears to be a beta that resolves the IMEI issue. TouchDown support seems to be responsive on this issue, and it would be productive to consolidate everything into one thread.
Alternative
I've been using "Moxier Mail" instead of Touchdown for a long time... Works great on Gtablet too.
Only real limitation is only works with a single Exchange account.
The touchdown beta works
If you go to the google groups for nitrodesk you can find the Touchdown beta. They have fixed it and it works fine on the gtablet. They do have a tablet mode, but it needs work. Not as polished as the original view and needs a bunch of quirks and UI things changed,
Hi all,
Have been searching wildly for a fix to this and im reaching out for help.
Scenario: Standard email client in honeycomb 3.01 with an exchange account setup.
Issue: embedded images/ html images do not show in body of email. Please note that the issue does not rectify when pressing the show pictures button as nothing changes. All you will see is the box where the image would be and the blue question mark. The images seem to be in the attachments tab and i have the choice of view or save.
Has someone come up with a reason this happens and how to fix it?
Note also that the same exchange account is set up on my froyo htc desire and have no problems at all.
Thanks in advance
Is anyone else having this problem?
Pictures not displaying in Emails
Jip! I have the exact same problem and have found no solution yet?
Anybody?
Which version of Exchange are you using? I can confirm that viewing embedded images in standard TF101 Honeycomb 3.01 mail app does work just fine when connected to and Exchange 2007 account (using the Exchange protocol of course). I just tested and verified that it works.
Maybe you're on Exchange 2003 or 2010? Or maybe it's a setting or option within Exchange your admin must change? I hope that info helps.

I also encountered the same issue, I set up 2 exchange accounts.
Both do not display the embedded pictures, the pictures are shown in the attachments list instead. Weird, in my Android phone, they are shown correctly. I think our Exchange is 2007 version.
There should be a "Show Pictures", click it.
when you click show pictures it does nothing.
Yes, the show pictures in GMail works fine displaying the embedded pictures, but the show pictures in the regular mail client does not work at all (with 2 Exchange accounts I have set up).
Has anyone resolved this issue yet?
Check with your Exchange Admin. There is the possibility a recent Exchange Security Update may well have been installed at the server level that is affecting your display. Consider asking about any firewall setting, too. Hardware appliances are updates often alsong with Exchange.
Have you tried using OWA (Outlook Web Access)? If you are enabled, try that also.
This has been an android issue since 1.6, google doesn't really care apparently.
Time to round up the mob!
OK... for nearly a month I used the stock mail client for email and it was great! It has a couple perfect Widgets imho but as of the late it has been giving me consistent errors...
It keeps claiming my email credentials are incorrect when I know they are correct since I was able to login to the site based email with same exact credentials... Anyone else experiencing this all of a sudden?
Yea it was happening to me just a little while ago. I disabled the gmail app sync and notifications and so far so good. Maybe the gmail app and stock email app conflict when synchronizing?
Ah I may give that a try... seems to be an intermittent problem for me so I'm almost thinking its a problem on Yahoo's side and not the client itself...
If it is yahoo then I think the issue is on their part. My wife's atrix 4g is doing the same thing now. She thinks I'm some kind of tech genius. I couldn't get it to work and eventually the account was locked. No problem with access to the account in the browser.

the other accounts, including another hotmail account are working just fine
and as others stated above, I'm able to log in from PC just fine
Is your error with Hotmail a server error like you said or a log in issue? If that is the case it may not be the same as our yahoo mail problem...

it's a server error, it has something to do with the total number of accounts,
combined total of personal and business emails that I and mainly my wife has is 6
5 accounts are working
If I remove one of the working accounts and try to add the last remaining account in it's place
it works
just all 6 will not work at the same time
when I was on stock .29 all 6 were functioning at the same time
it seems to be a problem with the mail client in .30
