Outlook webmail sync - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

Does anyone know if you can get outlook web app to sync to your phone via HTC email app. I tried using the exchange active sync but keep getting errors. ? Would like to get emails and not have to log in through the internet each time. Supposedly blackberry users can sync.. but I can't get the HTC one x to. ? Any ideas.

I know in my case it depended on hte server. I sync my work email (which is exchange) on my phone, but only after they "enabled" it on their server (before that I couldn't).

Hmm. That may be why.

Agreed, check with your Exchange admin. There are a lot of security settings on ActiveSync and it could be that they've blocked syncing except on approved accounts.
Try setting up your gmail as an Exchange account. You just need to input the server as m.google.com. If that syncs, the problem is your work server settings.
I've never had any issues getting my Exchange email, though I use the stock ICS apps rather than the Sense mail app (which I detest).

Outlook webmail app?

The company I work for doesn't support android phones for our corporate/enterprise email server, but I can access my email account on my phone through the outlook webmail site. Are there any apps that can use outlook webmail site to pull emails from? Anyone have any other suggestions for me?
Thanks!

Exchange for Android v2.x?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
What I did was create a work Gmail and then added it on my phone and have my work Email (exchange) forward all my messages to my Gmail work one, it worked for a while and then they changed security policies or something. I tried forever for a work around for it but nothing came about until I actually talked to the boss about it and he asked the IT guys if anything could be done about it, and sure enough I can now connect and use my work email
Have you asked your manager/boss about it? I wasted like 2 hours trying to get find another way to do it and but a 5 minute conversation with the boss sorted it out lol.
Yeah, I spoke with IT a few times and all we came up with was either getting an apple device or Blackberry to use on our exchange server, or use outlook webmail. Strangely, they support the droid incredible but won't let any other android device on the server. I can check everything just fine on webmail, but it would be cool if I could get notifications, or at least have a mobile friendly interface I don't have to keep zooming in and out on.
I tried that exchange for 2.x and just can't get it to connect. I have the correct server info from my blackberry and from what I use everyday on my work pc. Verified by logging in on the webmail site.
Thanks for the help so far.

For Touchdown (Exchange for 2.x) try inputting your settings as if you were setting up an iphone to connect to the exchange server. The address should be sync.domainhere.com or something like that. It may work then.
I posted this in another thread.....try Seven, it's been working great for me.
I can't post links so.... (www).seven.com
I used the default froyo email program, just set the owa address as exchange server (without h**ps://), ssl encription, my login (without domain/) and password and It has worked well .
Yeah, none of that's working for me. I've spent the day trying to configure 5-6 different apps to use the webmail exchange server with no luck. Guess I'm stuck with using the website until the IT department starts supporting other android devices on the server.
Thanks again.

Android Email Client?

Ever since I switched from my Tilt2 w/at&t to my Epic 4G w/sprint, I've been obviously using my gmail account more often. Thing is, the built in email client, even for gmail & even when I try it with pop3, just plain sucks. Also, I mainly use my hotmail account, which there isn't really an app for yet. So I have two things. 1. To find a much better email client for android. And 2. To find a way to get all my hotmail to my android. Now, I can fully access and export my entire hotmail account from inside outlook. But I haven't found a way to import pst's into android yet.

I lot of people say K9 mail is the best. I would say its the best of the non-Gmail apps out there. I can't use any other mail besides gmail because I'm so used to the threaded conversations. BUT, Gmail could be better for sure.

Use Seven email client (latest version 7.5.4)with homescreen widget support
It supports Gmail/yahoo/Hotmail/AOl n more
It is push mail client.
I see that you've gotten some good suggestions. I just wanted to tell you to avoid POP3 at all costs. It's a very primitive protocol and should really only be used as a last resort. Use at least IMAP.

Hotmail can be setup for push just like Exchange.
In the email app, tap Add Account, then put in your email address and password and then tap "Manual Setup"
Tap "Exchange Account"
Set the Incoming Mail Server: m.hotmail.com
Leave Domain blank
Set your username to your full @hotmail email address (i.e. include @hotmail.com or @live.com)
Enter your password.
Tap finish.
I recommend to use K9 mail. I use it with my 6 email adresses - 1 gmail, 1 imap and 4 pop3. As far I know hotmail does support pop3, so with K9 you should be able to check all your emails, including hotmail..
K9 is a very nice email client. I've used it for about a year now with imap.

Using K9 with 4 mails accounts, 3 IMAP and one POP3.
Works flawless so far.
K9 mail client is useless as it doesnt accept Exchange, this is ridiculous

Htc mail app

Anyone else gave problems sending mail using the htc mail app?

It doesn't work for me at all. I have to use k9 to access my company mail..
No problems at all, I'm connected to an exchange 2003 server and an exchange 2010 server (home and work accounts).
Are you able to receive emails?

What mail account type is it? Hotmail, exchange, etc...
Do you enter it manually?
Probably the port is wrong. Or your provider doesn`t support imap without a premium account.

Email not sync'd properly.

hello,
Is there a solution for my exchange mail not syncing properly? The problem is that new email syncs fine, but when I change a mail in Outlook on the laptop, the change in most cases does not sync to the phone.
Some info:
Android version :2.3.5
Kernel version : 2.10.161.3
Can anyone help me? What do I need to do? Flash a custom ROM?

Are you using Exchange mail? Outlook is delaying changes, I've noticed it too. Eventually they go through, on the next change. I'm blaming Outlook, because sometimes forced update still doesn't bring the changes, but if you do something else in Outlook and/or force-update it - it propagates to the phone.
Hi Jack,
Sorry, but I believe it is.something else.... When I use another client on my Desire (like thunderbird) the changes sync properly. However I would like to keep the stock email app. Problem seems primarily in the inbox. When I move a mail from inbox to another folder, it is present in both inbox and the other folder on my Desire S.

Don't have any issue here with default mail app. Did you guys set it up as Exchange mail or something else. I'm using Hotmail exchange server setting.

I don't know what that is. That's probably your problem. When I was using Samsung Galaxy S1/S2 phones, the default Hotmail setting always uses POP mail settings.
So, I always manualy setup my Hotmail using Exchange server settings:
UserName: your hotmail email address
Password: your account password
Server: m.hotmail.com
The default hotmail setup in accounts is newer, uses the correct exchange account settings. The problem is the sync itself, not sure where the problem lies, bit its annoying. You can manually create the exchange account and its still messed up.

I'm using the stock ics mail app and it works way better my Hotmail and Gmail accounts. Sync is almost immediate.
same problem here,
any solutions yet?
Hotmail Sync
I am having the same issues. It seems to be the stock HTC email app. I have no problems with Enhanced Email or the stock Android email app. I wish there was a fix for this as I like to use the Productivity lockscreen which only works with stock HTC email client.
It (HTC Stock email) works fine for my other exchange accounts and has no problem with push.

I've got the same problem, too since i've done a hard-reset of my device.
The integrated Facebookclient got the same problem like the hotmailaccount. Syncing failed!!!
Is there any solution for the problem? I also rooted my device now and installed a custom rom but the problem is still there and very annoying beause there are no more contacts on my device.
i get the same thing if i use the hotmail setup under accounts. i just used the generic email setup instead and it works fine for email. i don't think you get the calender sink that way but i don't use hotmail for my calender.
i have 2 hotmail accounts one from 00' and pne from 11' the second the newer working perfect the old one radomly working but never can send email from it
Mine is not just limited to hotmail...sync is experiencing problems...with facebook, skype n yeah obviously hotmail...anyone knows a workaround for this?

I do a factory reset and now both of my 2 hotmail account does not sync
So I download the hotmail app for now
Same issue here. Running Clean Rom 4.1 SE.
"Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly."
That is all she wrote.
Seems to be fixed on the newer 2.33 Asian region leak from today. Hotmail is working again for me.
