How to setup an email exchange account on my XT925 ?
Are the settings linked to my Canadian Rogers network ?
Look food corporate account in the email options. Rogers does not maintain this in their systems since it is something that is configured per device. Its not like blackberry

For Exchange email, I recommend an app called Touchdown. It's expensive, but keeps your corporate account separate from all your Google stuff, which I like

I've tried researching this and the only solution I found for checking my hotmail account, which just happens to be my #1 email account I use, is by either setting it up as an email account, which wouldn't work well for me because I use alot of folders, or by using it through the internet interface just by hyperlink, which doesn't work too well for me because of the size. Is Microsoft intentionally ignoring a huge market just because it's a competing OS or is there anything on the horizon about a hotmail/windows live mail app for Android coming down the pipe?
No idea about M$ intentions. Anyway, unless a service offers IMAP access, I would not touch it with 10ft pole, let alone use it as primary email. WLM uses MAPI crappy Exchange protocol, enough said.
Forward the mail to somewhere else where you can access it via IMAP.

You should be able to set it up as an exchange activesync account. It is fairly new and not widely known that you can do it that way. You will need to select corporate sync with manual setup. Use the following settings:
Username: full email address
Domain - leave blank
Server: m.hotmail.com
That should set it up with full push notifications and folder sync. It doesn't work on every android device but should on most.

I've been doing some searching across the web and I've yet to find a definitive answer on this issue. I'm trying to get my school email account to link to my Sensation via IMAP. My school uses Gmail as its mail server, so you'd think it would've been easy to link it. But I have yet to make this work after I've enabled IMAP on my email account, and tried numerous configurations in the IMAP server settings of the Sense mail app. Could anyone offer some help with this issue?
My school email address configuration is: "[email protected]"
Did you try setting up gmail with your school's email address?

Yeah, I've selected the Gmail option when creating a new mail account and entered all the information I had. If it helps any, my browser's url says "mail.google.com" when I'm logged into my school's email account. I've tried "imap.mail.google.com" and "mail.google.com" along with "pride.hofstra.edu" and "imap.pride.hofstra.edu" in the IMAP server settings, but still no luck.
Try forwarding your school email account to another email account. I had this same problem and I just forwarded to my gmail account and everything is good now.
incoming server is imap.gmail.com if you're using gmail app/servers, and port 993 with SSL
@op, just call ur skool's tech team or whatever n have them help u with that. I had to do the same since the incoming and outgoing servers r diff, and have diff port #s. All this I dint know n I was wondering y my setups never worked.

Dude... you guys are making this 100 times more complicated than it actually is.
Enter it as a gmail account WITH NO SPECIAL SETTINGS and just enter your school email address for the gmail id, then enter your password as usual.
I did this for my work email and it worked in two seconds.

I've tried entering my information without any settings and the same issue about being verify IMAP settings appears. I entered "imap.gmail.com" and, strangely, it says that my username/pass is invalid. I tried logging into my account via the regular gmail.com and it says it my name/pass is incorrect (weird?). I suppose I could just forward my school email to my regular Gmail as a second option.
I think this issue might be more complicated than it seems, since my school is somewhat known for its poor competency when integrating tech into its network. I suppose the incoming and outgoing servers are different or something. I'll ask around at tech support when I go back in a few weeks and see if I can get this cleared up. Btw, I'm actually a student staff member of my school's tech support team. Albeit, I was only recently hired. Thanks for the suggestions, everyone!
Just enter [email protected] as a Google account under menu, settings, accounts and sync.
To access it via web it should be https://my.hofstra.edu/cp/home/displaylogin?service=/mobile/index.jsp
Yes you should enable imap and pop settings. You can also configure your main Google account to send and receive for your edu account. I have like 5 emails routed through my main gmail.

Just tried that, and it says that the password is invalid. I only need to sign in once for my school account to access all my services. There's also no mobile version for login either. And my IMAP and POP settings are both enabled on the regular desktop version. I guess I'll just route my mail through Gmail. Sounds much easier to do!
I also just had my school's emails forwarded to my Gmail account. I haven't had any problems this way and it took two seconds.

Are you typing in the full email address or only the id? You need the full email. Password may also be case sensitive.

It depends on what type of email server your .edu email use.
Ex. incoming: imap.mail.ucla.com port 443
Outgoing: smtp.mail.ucla.com port 25
You need to know the mail server details not just it is a .edu email.

Try Microsoft exchange, that's what mine have always used.

Yeah, try the Microsoft Exchange and the Google ones. Those are going to be your only 2 options. At my old college, we ran on Google's servers.
If you use the dedicated email app, you can just choose "others" and all ya have to do is enter your email and password.
If still no luck with those options you could possibly log into your school email from a computer and set it up to forward to another email that you do have working on the phone..
Good luck hope it helps..

Hi, new to the forum so not sure if I have posted in the correct place.
I have a question about google and gmail accounts:
I have already signed up for a google account and use my existing email address from demon (broadband provider) as the user id. I then had a quick look on the Gmail web page and it says that if I sign up for a Gmail email address then this becomes my main Google user id and my old email address becomes my alternate email/user id. Now my question is, what is the advantage of having a GMail address to connect to Google compared to using my existing email address? Does this enable any features that I dont currently have? If I don't need a new email address (from Gmail) then do I need to even sign up for one?
Secondly if I do decide to sign up for a new Gmail email address, how do I access/retrieve my emails? Do I setup a new account in my Thunderbird email client and collect them there? Or do I have to sign in to my account on the Google gmail web page and view them there using a Gmail client or some other method?
Apologies for the simple sounding questions but I have only just started using a smart phone and am a bit overwhelmed with the technology side of things
Well I think by signing in with Gmail you can access all functionality of your android phone. Otherwise, you can't access Play store, Google Now, Gmail, etc. By using Gmail, your contact account on your phone will be synchronize with Gmail contact, which means you don't have to be afraid to lose your contact in case you accidentally erase them. And it's easier to transfer your contacts if you decide to change your phone.
To get your emails, you only have to open your Gmail application.
Just sign up, mate.

So a friend has a stock Samsung Galaxy 2 on T-Mobile and and is using the stock email app to get her biz email from her website provider GoDaddy. I believe she has the latest OTA 4.4.2 installed.
She cannot get (receive only) email sent to this biz email account, she can send OK and sends and receives fine on the 3 other different email accounts (Gmail, Live Mail and ?, POP3 & IMAP) set up in the app.
She's been back and forth between the customer reps at T-Mobile and GoDaddy, each one helpfully pointing the finger at the other.
I somehow got volunteered to help (as have you now, TIA:fingers-crossed and I have discovered that this is a duplicatable problem.
I am able to recreate this on my phone with both a GoDaddy POP & IMAP email account.
I have a rooted Samsung SPH-L710 with Wicked-X 7.3 on Boost Mobile and today I re-tasked one of my GoDady junk mail accounts to the stock Email app (the one that comes in the ROM) and sure enough I can send fine but cannot receive an email on the phone through that account.
Added the K-9 Mail app to my phone and set up the account as POP3, everything works fine.
The issue seems to be how the stock Email app plays with GoDaddy email.
Any thoughts on why? Or how to fix?
