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.

[Q] Exchange ActiveSync

Very new here and have run into what seems to be a ROM stopper issue.
My company uses Exchange Activesync but in order to connect has to be allowed to push certain security settings to my Inspire. The normal rooted phone, I am able to use the HTC Email app with no issues and am forced to use the security.
However, after flashing a ROM (I have tried MIMU and REV 4,) I am no longer able to add my Activesync account. It gets down to do the install and fails with a general error (Try again later or some such) and won't create the account.
I did do some searching and found there was an email app that apparently bypasses that setup, but I'm not interested in bi-passing, just in getting the security to work.
Now, finally to the question: Are there any INSPIRE ROMs here that people have got to work with activesync? More specifically, with activesync that is trying to force security settings on the device?
(I had made a backup of my ROM before hand and was able to restore back to working copy without any issues [yeah] and I am sure that I wiped everything on installing both ove the above mentioned ROM.)
Sorry for the long post, but I thought background was important to understand the issue.

CM7 will work fine. Now keep in mind, the actual server address can be different on AOSP email clients compared to HTC.
For example, my setup that I administer:
HTC Server address: owa.organization.com
Domain: organizationdomain
AOSP(CM7) Server address: owa.organization.com/owa
Domain:blank
Check with your exchange admin to see what your proper settings would be. If others in your organization have, for instance a Samsung or Nexus, get what they would use for settings.

My Inspire is a work phone I have never had an issue getting it to connect to our activesync. It also has that extra security thing but it always prompts me to allow it right before it syncs up. It has worked for me on the following ROMs.
Ultimate Droid (Current ROM)
CM7
MIUI
Cognition
RC Mix HD
You could always try a 3rd party email app like touchdown or K9 from the market.

I tried it for sure on MIUI and it didn't work. I have tried using K-9 and it won't even work with activesync account on stock. I am getting this error when I am trying to add the account both in email as well as in just the Settings - Account. Any other thoughts? I will try CM7 or Ultimate Droid tonight.
Thanks,
Jeff

MIUI makes changes to the AOSP email program, so it actually may not be compatible. What version of Exchange are you running?

I believe we are on Exchange 2007. Here is the info on the exchange web service:

That is what I administer. When adding to MIUI are you using the same server name/domain info that you had in HTC based ROMs?

We have a Exchange 2003 and I cannot get it to connect to that server. Maildroid and Touchdown both worked without any problems. I wish the default email client was a little more robust.

Yes, I am using the exact same information that I did when I installed it on the "stock" ROM when trying in MIUI. I have tried both on just the "add account" method as well as from the stock email client + K-9 Email.
In stock, I cannot get the K-9 email to work at all. the HTC sense email client works fine.
in MIUI (and REV 4.0) neither email client works and I cannot add the activesync server under accounts either.

You may want to try using no domain and the full owa path for server name.

I'll give that a shot. Thanks for the advice.
BTW...I did finally get the K-9 mail to work on the "stock" ROM. I had to put in my full email addy on the mailbox alias along with the /owa/auth/ in the Authorization path.

Update to the saga. Just tried CM 7 and when I try to add the ActiveSync Account, here is the actual error I get:
Setup could not finish
This server requires security features your phone does not support.

Do you already have a PIN code set to unlock the device?

It sounds like your corporate IT server is locked down a little more than normal. I've used the CM7 stock client on 3 exchange systems (my employer's server, my consulting gig's server and gmail exchange settings for push) and it connects fine to all of them.

Also, try RCMix 5.9.3. See if it gives the same results as Rev 4.

OK. Update with CM7.
I tried setting up the pin before adding account, no go. The other security option that they are trying to enforce is being able to wipe the phone (I work for a State Gov't...neat, huh) I'm guessing it is this setting that is causing the issue.
I did, however, get the K-9 email program to work in CM7. Now the only downside is I don't get contacts or calendar. I'll keep looking...

Hah, local Gov't here. The default AOSP mail client does support remote wipe, as I have tested our organization's functionality on Android on CM7, RCMix, and of course stock. (as well as a few times on the Captivate).
Try setting the password in Location & Security and checking that Use Secure Credentials is checked; and make sure Email is set as a device administrator.

How would I go about doing the "make sure Email is set as a device administrator." step you mentioned? When I click on device administrator there is nothing there to select.
I did try setting up the password in Loc & Sec and the checked the Use Secure as well. Still wouldn't allow me to add the activesync account. This is all still on CM7. Still a no go on getting my contacts and calendars to sync. What am I missing? (I'm sure it is me.)

You may want to try to contact your organization administrators and ask them if you can have an exception for the security policy. There is a particular setting that I have seen brought problems with several android phone this setting is "Allow Non-provisionable Device" and it should be set to true (many organizations set it to false which cause connectivity failures).

There is no way that I will get them to change settings for me. It has to either be something I am missing or a change that needs to be made in the ROM

[Q] Exchange Email Not Working

Hello,
I just purchased the G2X with the understanding that it supports exchange corporate email. When I try to setup the email, I get the error "this server requires security features your phone does not support". I have tried checking both of the security certificate boxes and confirmed that I am entering the right address.
Does the phone support Exchange? My company uses Exchange 2007.
Thanks for your help,
Lance

The built in mail client is pretty bad for exchange tbh. My particular issue was that it could not let me see the contents of most of my folders. I've started using touchdown for exchange, it has a free 30 day trial and is much better.
I saw options for exchange 2007 when installing it so hopefully it supports your company's security policy. It does and auto detect of server config on initial setup.

Exchange works fine for me here. You might want to check with your IT department. If there is anything wrong with the way they setup OWA or what ever it is called to access exchange over the web, then you might have issues.

Yup, Exchange works fine for me. It uses DAV over OWA instead of true ActiveSync, but only WinMo supports REAL ActiveSync anyway. In practice you really can't tell the difference.

I also use touchdown for exchange. It's pretty nice and also you get 90 day trail if you download from amazon app store.

Exchange 2007 works here
We use hosted exchange 2007 at our company and the stock app works for me as well. +1 for talking to your IT department or trying Touchdown.

They'll need to enable support for non-provisionable devices on the Exchange server for the ActiveSync policy assigned to you. Or you can go with Touchdown as suggested as Touchdown has a better ActiveSync implementation than the stock client.

Galaxy Tab Email App

Our tabs built-in email app is perfect for me. Only problem i have is that I cant get my corporate mail to work. Gmail and Ymail works fine. Our office uses MS Exchange but we can only access through OWA (even my PC Outlook is configured to go through OWA).
I've been using Seven Mail for quite some time now but recently its not updating my emails well.
Any help would be appreciated.
Btw. Tried Touchdown, K9, Kaiten, Moxier, Maildroid but did not like them.

I use the native email apk for corporate exchange email and it works fine. I prefer it over touchdown.
In my case, I entered the email address and password for my account, selected exchange, then I had to change the user name to my corporate domain\userid. I also changed the server name to owa.company.com. I had to select accept all SSL certificates.
Our exchange service requires some security controls on the device so you have to set a screen lock pin or password.

Same experience for me as for grogzero.
Technically speaking, as long as you can access OWA and your company is not using Exchange 2010, the email client will work. Specifically, the client uses ActiveSync (technology used by Microsoft) and this protocol works over OWA. This emans that as long as OWA works, your tab default client should work as well.
In Exchange 2010, mobile access must be enabled on top of OWA to allow ActiveSync to work. Otherwise, you should email your support and ask them about it.
Can you give us more specifics on the specific situation you have to deal with?
C.

Same issue
I am having the same issue.
My company uses exchange 2007 with SSL and has some security features requirements also. (pin requirement for example) The settings I have set up fine on my iPad but I really want to use the SGT instead of the iPad.
I am currently using TD and it has worked but I love the split screen on the native email app.
Any suggestions?

the solution to that issue is upgrade to 2.3.3, actually this works for me.

call your internet provider and ask for pop3 port. For ex mine is 26 instead of default 25

Outlook webmail sync

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.
Sent from my HTC One XL using xda app-developers app

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).
