I have a oneplus one that perfectly worked with our exchange server (allways used the nano gapps).
Now on cm13 with android 6.0.1 there is no AOSP Exchange Connector anymore so no chance to use the open source version in companys anymore (or am I missing something?).
To be able to still use the phone I installed the Gapps mini package from opengapps.org cause there is an Exchange entegration replacement by Google in there.
Sadly this is indeed an integration of the exchange funcionality into the gmail app - which is an disaster from an data security and data protection point of view, but nevertheless i tired that one and the mail sync works out of the box BUT no callendar or contacts sync anymore.
So my question - does anyone of you folks have an idea, how to get back tha aosp exchange integration?
Regards...
So I used an old Gapps 6.0.1 package - not the newest ones from opengapps.org - and finally the "normal" exchange integration is back again and working.
So there seems indeed to be an makeover of the exchange integration - thats is not working anymore in the current gapps builds.

Hey, same symptom - here's what worked: Although the account is now under "Accounts" - "Exchange", there is another setting that must be set for synching Calender and Contacts with an Exchange server: "Apps" - "GMail" - "Permissions" must be set to "Calender and Contacts".
I probably ran into the same problem as you saying "Nooo, I won't give GMail any permissions, since I am not using GMail service or client anyway."
Hope this helps many people... I spent some time with this!
Best,
Armin
For the records: CM13 Nightly some days old, open_gapps-arm-6.0-mini-20160702, com.google.android.gm.exchange_6.4.123892212.release-508255_minAPI19(nodpi)_apkmirror.com.apk
Cause it is working so flawless for a long time now i have to say that the last version of opengapps that works flawless on a couple of phones here in our company with a exchange connector that doesn't give "skynet" no i meant "google" the permission to sync contacts and calendar, is this one you can still download from opengapps:
open_gapps-arm-6.0-nano-20151124.zip
I am a bit afraid of what happens when android 7 is released...

Dear xda members,
Today I found this wordpress article from Kriss Wong about the current status of the ActiveSync support in the popular K9 mail android client.
It looks like the project is going on and that the current sources would let us compile a working version. Unfortunately, I don't have the knowledge for that and I am missing many tools to follow the tutorial provided in the article.
If anybody gives it a try, I am sure that posting the compiled apk here would make a lot of people happy
Wordpress article: http://codethis.wordpress.com/2011/09/29/building-k-9-mail-with-exchange-activesync-support/

Would also love to have this!

I'll try building when home.
Any news? Very interested in K9 with ActiveSync Support...
I tried building based on the article. It did not work.
Required step for compile, after copying local.properties:
/path/to/android-sdk/tools/android update project -t 9 -s -p .
Built and signed with test key: http://qfs.mobi/f45023
It works except it will not see any subfolders of inbox. =[
EDIT: Yes it will, unless you select the wrong SSL/TLS/etc option or cause account setup to error in any way. If so, wipe data, try again, get it right.
EDIT2: Don't try to change things to use sdcard for data, that'll break stuff.
EDIT3: There's no way to get a list of inbox subfolders back if you break stuff and try to zap account data.
Sweet! I just tried this out and has some strange stuff with not seeing subfolders, so I tried a different type of authentication. It finally worked, but I don't see any emails more recent than about a week ago. I haven't found a setting for the amount of time to sync, does anyone have any suggestions?
Just so everyone here knows, this is alpha quality at best. One large missing feature is to restrict the mails that are synced. The way exchange limits this does not match what is currently available in K-9, so the configuration screens still need to be updated. It will download new mail that is received after the account is setup, however. There is also a large issue with the "sync key" not being remembered after K-9 is restarted. This is how the exchange server knows what to sync. I should be adding this fairly soon. I am also seeing out of memory exceptions, which are proving very difficult to debug.
Unfortunately, my limited free time does not provide me much opportunity to work on this.
I understand the alpha disclaimer, but the basic function seems to be there. Also, I'm amazed that you seem to be the only person working on activesync, when it is clear to me that this is the only thing lacking from K9 Mail.
I also understand time constraints on a side project, so let us know if you need any help. I can volunteer to debug any other alpha builds if you like. (Just send me a pm)
Any progress so far? Is the project still alive? Missing Active Sync is the only deal breaker in K-9...
So the dev said there's still some memory leaks and it is quite crashy... But I'm building it now, should have an APK soon folks...
Don't hold your breath on the quality of EAS support either. This is building straight from k9's repos and a checkout of the EAS branch. So all the NIGHTLY caveats apply. I don't take any responsibility if this deletes all the email from the server, ok? Ok.
Edit - apk attached, latest version - 4.308 - looks WAY better on ICS than the 4.200 version on the Market/Play Store, so even if you don't use ActiveSync/EAS, I recommend this version. I setup GMail with Exchange (ActiveSync) (you have to set it up MANUALLY!!! or else it assumes the default K9 settings for GMail, which is IMAP).
Enjoy.
Would K9 supporting activesync replace touchdown, which is basically required by my company to get email on my device? Touchdown is horrendous.
Thanks Arrrrgh!
Works fine with an Office 365 online exchange account and HTC Sensation on stock ICS.
Some system folders have ugly numbers instead of names (such as drafts, sent etc.).
When will this update be integrated into the normal K9 available on the market?
Best

+1:good:
The K9 devs all seem uninterested. Otherwise, it would be implemented a long time ago.
Also, the feature to insert pictures rather than attach them, is not interesting to develop.
Despite the fact that it's already present, in the K9 clone "Chiara Mail" on Google Play.
This is all too sad, because K9 had potential to crush all competitors, if they cared...
I have the 11/22 driver (update 5) on the Infuse and I cannot get past the authentication screen for calendar.
After I plug in my uid/pw it says "Couldn't sign in". This must be a default message for something because when I test with an invalid credential it simply says bad uid/pw.
Does anyone have a working calendar on 4.4 ?
I had a similar problem. I downloaded the google calendar from the play store though and it seems to be working fine.
fixed by replacement

It seems that the calendar application included in gapps (green grid icon) does not work . I disabled it and downloaded the calendar application from Google:good: play (blue page folding icon) which worked without setup.
Google must have switched the application and we are still flashing with a wrong gapps.:good:
that green icon calendar is the stock android aosp calendar app. its not part of gapps, though you used to be able sync your google account with it. i dont know if you still can because they killed off google sync a while back. its still needed for other things like exchange accounts. google released a dedicated google calendar app like a year or so ago so you should use that anyways.
Thanks

If the AOSP calendar is uninstalled and the blue Google calendar installed will calendar on lock screen function properly? I'm not on 4.4 yet but just curious. Thanks!
Running Cyanogenmod 13 24 May Nightly on a Nexus6.
Have not had any previous problems with calendar, contact and email sync until now.
Calendar, contacts and email was syncing fine. Until I noticed that when I added a calendar item in the phone it does not sync to Exchange. The other way around works fine. From Exchange to the mobile.
I have removed the device in Exchange, cleared the Exchange profile on the phone, added it again.
Calendar sync still not working ok.
Did a full wipe of the device installed latest Nightly and Gapps stock and tried again. Same problem but now I also get “Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly”
......
Same issue here with a few Nexus devices on stock 6.0.1. The problem seems to be the updated Exchange Services that came from the Play Store.
They are investigating the issue. Search for the thread on google support forums: Exchange-Service App don't sync

I love many things about my new Galaxy s7 however the native mail app is NOT one of them... So I thought I would share the CyanogenMod built Email.apk and Exchange2.apk files I pulled from an older rooted phone as replacements. The CM email app is my favorite as it is simple and very fast for IMAP/POP accounts and supports auto push for IMAP unlike the AOSP version. These files are from CM 13 (Android 6 Marshmallow) and all credit for their packaging and development goes to that amazing community - beyond the AOSP provided base of course
To successfully install don't forget to first turn on "unknown sources" under Settings/Lockscreen and security. Exchange2.apk is only needed to connect to Exchange servers. All that is needed is to download and then click on from your file manager...
As a helpful side note you can disable the native email app with Package Disabler Pro (or similar) app.
Enjoy!
The email doesn't work.

Hmm... what about the email does not work? Did it not install? Did you get it installed and you weren't able to set up an account?
Assuming you have the option to allow apps outside of the Google Play Store to be installed set to yes in your settings...
Neat. It's a reskinned GMail app in every way.
Looks good. Thanks for this
My solution is similar. I sideload Exchange Services, and that lets me use Gmail as my Exchange account's client. I subscribe to the Exchange Service's PB channel so I know when updates hit.
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...s-6-4-123892212-release-android-apk-download/
I have disabled my built in app
Installed exchange services
But failed to install the email apk as I got a message that it will update my existing built in app and then fail
I have oppo r7 plus phone running color os
Any advise please
I froze all things Google and am running Google free. This was helpful forward that endeavor
are the EAS security settings disabled on the Exchange.apk?
Hi,
please please please have patient with with as i’m still on iphone waiting to sell it and buy android (after @5 years on apple ecosystem)
Before that, last android phone, i had note 3, rooted ...
My question is about having a degoogled phone with lineageos (im looking for pixel 4a to buy this one), without any google service instaled (not even aurora that, from what i understood, can be installed via fdroid and used to install play apps) and use no more google/facebook services (e.g whatsapp).
The question: can i download an apk file from google store via a laptop (e.g: revolut, or other banks apps) upload them to the phone and install them?
If this will work, will be privacy compromised?
Is this safer than installing via aurora?
Another question: lets say ill use k9 mail for my gmail account. Will help google target my phone in any way knowing at least my phone ip ?
Regards,

Android allows side-loading, where an APK from anywhere can be installed. It is up to you to make sure you aren't installing a bad app if you do this.
However, if you have completely de-googled your phone, expect trouble with apps. It is very common for apps to depend on Google services.
It is safer to use a store of some kind than to download from random web sites, unless you are going to verify certificates and such yourself.

I don't understand what you are concerned about. You will have to force Google to "lower your account security" if you use k9 because it doesn't support Google's oath authentication. But it will work. I used k9 for many years with my Gmail account. The worst that ever happened was when Google temporarily blocked logins due to my IP changing a bunch. That kind of thing is much less likely with an oauth login.
To be frank, having a Gmail account while being paranoid about Google stuff on your phone makes no sense to me. You can turn off or disable things on the phone if you don't want them on.

I'm agree with you. I'll create an email service for myself in the near future so I'll skip this only service that I'm using from google
Thank you
