Multiple exchange e-mail account, howto set default. - Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone know how to set "Default sending account"?
I have several accounts setup but I want to use one as standard.
Earlier I just opened the account and ticked to set default, now it´s gone.
Having ver. 4.4.4

Oh, I've just looked and find no way to set an account as default after being setup

recommend a good mail client to get around this issue
Hi,
Can anyone recommend a good mail client for the Z3 that will allow you to set the default account. The phone appears to default to my work account and could be dangerous. Preferably free
Thanks

Eh sorry, I can use pop3 with gmail in my country (NL)
And used it with my trinity.....no problem at all.
@Blob8me
Push e-mail is not where I am looking for.
But think I will give it a look and try it......thanks !
If it's not letting you use pop3, enter a incorrect adress on the first screen (something like [email protected]) so it doesn't try to download the settings. Then, you can manually enter the pop3 settings.
Use the settings from here to configure it.

I tried that, thanks for your suggestion, but for incoming I have to use SSL wit port 995 and for outgoing port 465. I don't know how to set that.
As I can remember my Trinity recognize the settings for Gmail automaticly and let me choose pop or imap.

I guess the default settings have been changed in the ROM, or by GMail...
For ports, I think you can put "smtp.gmail.com:465" or whatever it actually is.

That's odd... When I first tried to set up Gmail with POP3 (mind you it was some time ago) but I think the Gmail site said POP3 was not accessible, and to use IMAP. My bad.

I changed my image regular. Never had a problem with gmail.
Now Imap gives me not the possibility to keep my messages on the server, I can only delete them or send them to the trash can.
Pop3 is available in my country

Push Gmail on Stock android email client

Pretty much in the title. I have an exchange and google account i want to use the stock email client with, so i can cut down on the gmail app.
Exchange gets push, but the option for gmail is not there
Seems odd that the native android app does not support GOOGLE push?
Anyone got this working?
Failing that, can anyone recommend a stock like app that does do this?
Thanks

Cheers for reply but i think you misunderstood me.
What i am trying to do is use the stock android email client for both my exchange account and my gmail account.
I do not want to use the gmail app.
The stock android email client lets me push my exchange account, however there is no option for gmail, only set times such as 15 mins, 30 mins etc.

I haven't used the stock email app for some time, but IMAP needs to be enabled in your Gmail account. I cannot post links yet, but in your Gmail settings, click on the "Forwarding and POP/IMAP" tab, and then under IMAP Access, click on "Configuration instructions" at the bottom. That will take you to a link where you can click on "Android".
OR you can have your Gmail account collect all your mail, then use the Gmail app on your phone. That's what I do.
Good luck!

imap is set up properly but still no option for push.
I know it works with gmail app but I want it on stock Android client
Sent from my Google Sexus S
would love to know if anyone has solutions to this now...
I did this a while ago on my Tab, but i can't remember 100% how i pulled it off, the following *should* work...
In Mail -> Add Account, put the email address and password, then go manual setup, select exchange, and add the details from here: (i know it's for iphone, just use the server settings etc)

[Q] Really dumb email question

Hello,
I have three email apps on my phone, email (Live), Gmail and Outlook. When I first set up my phone I set my Live account as the default account. Now I want to change it to one of the other accounts but when I open the gmail app settings or the outlook app settings there is no option to set either as the default. The only app that has the set as default option is the email app that I use for my Live account email. If I try to uncheck the set as default box it doesn't let me.
This seems like such a lame question, but does anyone know how to unset my Live email as my default and change it to my gmail or Outlook email?
Thanks

That setting is specific to that app. Since you have only one account in that app, you can't deselect that option. What you probably want is to reset the default email app on the phone. Got to Manage Apps and find the email app and Clear Defaults. Next time you tap on an email link, it will ask what app you want to use (with the option to set as default).

Thanks for the reply. I tried what you said and clear defaults is grayed out. It's not clickable. I cleared data and it reset the app. Now when I try and reset up the email account I get an error message. "80104: system is unavailable to support the request"
I discovered that the outlook.com app will also do my Live email account. So I am using that instead of the installed email app.

[Q] Sync email driving me nuts - pse help

When my 8010 note downloads email using the standard email app it syncs with every mail left on the email servers. Despite searching I cannot find a way to have it download only new mail since last connection.
Currently I have 5 email accounts and all sync up to two weeks worth of mail each time I connect
Is there any way to set this to new mail only? I need to leave the mail on the servers as I am away fairly often and might miss some if I clear it earlier than two weeks.
Also weird is that the trash empties OK but shows 23 on the folder!
What settings have you used pop or imap and what email service are you using
There is option in options which tell how back do you sync and also to certain extent there is a setting on your server tell what to sync
Thanks for reply.
I'm using POP for all accounts.
The only thing I have found is Email Sync mail On/Off.
Where are the Options you refer to?
I'm using JB UK version.
ok I cannot pin point the exact settings as I am using active sync but I used it earlier just go to the settings there is in the accounts the duration you want to sync also if you are using gmail please change settings in gmail also.
I really had loads of issues with syncing with pop account on stock email app and hence I configured activesync which works same like gmail app
Thanks, but I don't think there are any additional settings in normal mail, hopefully someone will correct me

Look on the mail sever side for options to download only new messages. It's really the mail server software that keeps track of what you've downloaded. I would look for settings options labeled pop mail settings or something along those lines.
Don't think that would work, because the server would stop other machines from downloading that were not up to date. AFAIK this is normally set on each email client.
Anbody find a solution for this?
Just can't believe there is no way to set the sync to download only once.
Are there any other mail apps that have intelligent sync settings?
Gettings mail that I downloaded two weeks ago repeated every day on the note 10.1 just sucks!

try Aqua Mail. i found some nice features in it.
free version gives you up to two accounts and enforces a signature.
OK, I have 5 accounts on my Note so free one is not usable
Secondly can you confirm that it solve the sync problem I am trying to fix?

[Q] Adding HOTMAIL account on Galaxy S6

Hi all.
I've had just about every Galaxy flagship phone in the Samsung series and am certainly not a stranger on setting up accounts.
I have 2 hotmail.com email accounts, a business and personal. I tried setting up my personal entering details correctly and I get "authentication failed" ... Hmm, that's strange. I jump on a PC and CONFIRM the password I used was indeed correct. I tried setting up the account manually (POP3) which wasn't a problem, however the device has absolutely no interest trying to connect to my account and sync. It keeps telling me the OP3 server is not responding. Sorry Samsung, but I call bull****. It's like this any day of any week, too...
I have tried changing my password on the PC to something else. I then re-attempted the email set-up and received the same error...authentication failed. Now, google, gmail, yahoo, aol accounts (etc) ALL work fine. With absolutely NO explanation WHY this won't work and zero help from the internet or anyone else experiencing the same problem, I decide to try the OTHER hotmail account...enter the details and BOOM. It worked. So why in the blue f**king hell does ONE work and NOT the other?! Props to Samsung, they've really f*cked something up here - coz this has never been a problem on any phone I've used in the past.
Anyone have any ideas?
The device is running stock ROM and is rooted (problem also existed before root)

i gave up adding all my email accounts , on the phones last yr now I just use my gmail and for my other 2 email aco****s I forward them to gmail then when sending emails in gmail I can select which account I want to send from.
I had no problem adding a hotmail account. Are you trying to add them in Android's "Accounts" section, or to the Outlook app?

Like anyone does it - adding through the default email app on the phone...or settings - accounts - email - add new
Download the Exchange Services apk and install it. Reboot and then add the Hotmail account as an Exchange account in Gmail.
Do you kneed also the E-Mail APK from Google? If i install only the Exchange APK, i didnt see a additional Exchange Account in the Accounts Section of the Settings, if i try to add a new Account. Only the one which come preinstalled.

Obviously not like anyone does it, based on my question.
Have you tried getting the Outlook app and adding your accounts directly to the app rather than using the default email app and Android's account settings?

I didn't want to use additional apps, all emails in the one place only...otherwise defeats the purpose of having an all-in-one email add on a smartphone if you cannot add Hotmail, yahoo, aol (etc) in there together.

I downloaded and installedExchange APK (boomerang)? Installed, rebooted, added the account via 'accounts' under settings as an exchange email and it worked! Didn't need anything else. See below.

Hah! You champion! This actually worked. Unbelievable. I can't and even won't rack my brain trying to understand the retardation around this and the "work around" users must perform to setup a particular Hotmail/Live account. Thank you so much!

solution found for email setup (Hotmail)
I had problems setting up my Hotmail on the S6. The password it wanted was not my usual Hotmail login but an "app" password. I changed my Outlook/Hotmail password on a PC and then it sent me an email alerting me that I needed to update my "app" passwords with "fhrkdjfruofjrdlfl" (example) and then it easily connected Hotmail to my S6 using the standard email setup menus. Hope that helps somebody.

I have had this problem for the last 2 nights and on this forum, I read about signing up with outlook or samsung. I have been trying Samsung, so I downloaded the outlook app and I then had NO PROBLEM with it! I hope this helps you.
