Exchange mail services (free / trial accounts available) includes push / aliases

hey guys from universal forum!
had started this service out to TYTN users and figured i should spread the news around to some of the other boards. if you guys are looking for push email, please get in touch here's what i posted in the tytn forum:
I'm now offering exchange mailboxes to users (subscription based service). right now i see two, one by austindkelly in the wizard forum (he's disappeared for over a month and looks like he doens't offer his service any more) and one by denial in the kaiser section ($5/month). I thought I'd offer up a similar service starting with the hermes group (cheaper of course) with a few extra tidbits of joy...
- supports iphone exchange services, saves a heck of money over apple's mobileme service!
- outlook web access (with the advanced interface)
- 1gb quota
- both SSL as well as standard port options
- *IMAP access* - you don't even need outlook, syncs flawlessly with your phone.
- *MAPI* outlook access - hook up your outlook on your PC to sync with my service which in turn syncs with your phone. no plugging in ever needed!
- alias included (get your own email)
- changing your password through outlook web access (one-way non-reversible encryption).
I figured it's a bit of an overkill having my own exchange server that's serving a single account (i.e. mine). so why not open it up!
Price is $10 for 3 months, $19 for 6 months.
Please PM me if you're interested... I'll probably set up your account within 12 hours (probably less).
And yes, will give you unused credit money back etc etc if you're unsatisfied for whatever reason. I'm really not in this for the money, it's more to utilize something I spent hours building up, plus to cover the costs of my internet / server hardware.
And, as usual, if you need any files hosted for xda-developers just let me know, i'm already hosting over 40 ROM images and serving 5-6gb/day in ROMs from the wiki!
cheers!
free accounts:
will provide 10 rotating free accounts at any given time for test purposes, will base it off of usage. so if you use the free account, i'll keep it up indefinitely, if not then account will be removed after 14 days and given to the next person in line.
Free accounts do not have MAPI access, have 50mb storage, have no aliases either.
Depending on utilization I may increase this 10 free account limit.

few people are asking about synching from multiple sources...
from my understanding i can only give you one alias for your accounts, which means you can't select your "from." however you're free to forward as many accounts as you wish to the account i create for you, but you can only send from one "alias."
another multi-synching thing people are asking is whether you can sync calendar with your desktop and email with my service. sure!! its best that way in fact - that's what i do. i have my outlook on my desktop which has my calendar, contacts, and only sync my email via push on exchange to my server... you can even take this a step further and set up IMAP access so what you see in your email client is the same as what you'll see in your pocket outlook... if you delete from your desktop, whoosh it disappears from your PDA too

it is possible to select "from" under exchange but a bit tricky, best way to do that is creating distribution group with desired email address, user account must be a member of this group and must have "send as" right on it; after that user can select desired mail in from field - at least under outlook; if exchange has multiple domains in recipient policies - this emails could be even from different domains

MAPI (i.e. desktop outlook) access is now enabled
still plenty of resources to use up so drop me a line if interested!

going to take the server down for about 15-20 minutes this afternoon for a quick reboot and offline backup. planning for 3:00pm GMT. please be patient, hopefully it should be done much much faster!

Quick update regarding update in the server!
I know I've had some VERY avoidable downtimes this past few months. Because this is running on a laptop it has been unplugged from the power / ethernet while its been moved.
however good news! I've just purchased a replacement - a nice server
Specs - dual core AMD 5600+ with 2 gb RAM, 820gb storage (for those attachments ).
i'll do the switchover soon as i get the machine, should hopefully take 10-15 minutes as i just need to image the drive across.
once i get the machine i'll push up the trial accounts to 15 or 20 so if you're interested i'll post here when the migration is done and you can drop me a note
cheers!

can someone who has successfully set up outlook 07 with my service PM me with the settings they've used? i need to get some instructions on my site on how to do it, and i don't use exchange 07 myself...
thanks!

Just have to tell everyone how happy I am with Chamelion.
This is by far the most honest straight up guy we have here.
And his service has been superb.
If you want activesync to work as it was designed to hit him up, his exchange service is the best!!

Dude you are the Bomb. I hope you got my pm.
Glad your still using xda.
Hay dumb question. I may change cell service provider to t-mobile. Service change should not affect my exchange ability right?

What is ur price plan, please? and can i have a trial account?
Thank u in advance

changing provider has no effect, doesn't matter what service you're using to connect- long as you have internet access it works.

hi there,
price plan is on the first post re: trial accounts i've phased those out as they're too much hassle. i do still offer money-back guarantees but need to know that people are serious about wanting the service, not just out to get another free account

that's. What I thought. The reason I asked is Tmobile is one of the cheaper services, just starting to deploy 3g when everyone else is testing 4g. I was just worried that the sow internet would affect my ability to sync.
I am with Verizon now. I love the broadband speeds but 2 cells for 350 each month is too much.
Rightnow Tm is the only carrier that has the touch pro2 which I love and Tm would cut my bill in half.

UPDATE Now offering Exchange 2010 accounts - fully compatible with latest outlook, html email etc!

Calender please!

Guys, I have a X10i updated to Android 2.1, I am very happy with the phone except that i cant use one basic functionality of the phone.
The calender app requires me to sync with gmail & somehow Vodafone Live GPRS does not permit such registrations as its apparently only for basic web browsing. For such registrations, i would have to opt for advanced GPRS in Vodafone titled Vodafone connect whose monthly rental is quite high. Since my GPRS usage is limited, I am not willing to pay that amount just to sync my phone to google!
I am frustrated that i cant access such a basic app like calender... I have searched the entire Android market for a calender app which does not require me to sync to google or gmail.
Can you guys help me with this? I just need a basic calender app!

Same with me also...i want same app....is there any?

More professional
I´m not sure if this is what you`re looking for but try "DejaOffice - Outlook, USB Sync"
Search for "DejaCalendar" on Market
More basic
AnCal

Jorte
Gives you the option to use google, or jorte calendar for the data.. so use Jorte.. and it also has tasks, great widgets, and the basic app is better than the standard one.

iCloud or Switch to Google?

Hi guys,
New Android user here (Samsung Galaxy S3). The problem is all my contacts and calendar are on iCloud. Do you think it's better to use sync adapters like SmoothSync to get my iCloud stuff to work (prefer not to pay though...), or do you think it's better to just switch to Google? Keep in mind that my desktop environment is Mac.

Switch Its okay that your desktop is MAC though I think galaxy s3 and mac don't go together. Google syncs your contacts, because I switched to a different phone and when I entered my google acc info all my contacts from my old phone showed up and the calendar synced too. If you tend to switch to iOS phone then I guess use the smoothsync or w/e that paid app is.

Google
If yu have a mac. I think you should use google. As the new version of google is mac friendly!!

Switch. It should be fine

If you go to the iCloud website you can download vcards for all your contacts and then import them into Google.

Just switched to Google. Everything seems to be working great. Thanks for all the advice!

[Q] good notes app

I'm looking for a good notes app (possibly like Google Keep, looks and functionatlity wise), that has more focus on privacy. The best would be an app that stores the notes in an encrypted form, and offers sync, so you can edit notes on the PC as well.
I've found "SealNote" https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.twistedplane.sealnote which looks interesting, but I don't think it offers sync capabilities. Is there a note app with encryption AND sync option?

Use Color note its perfect.. But there is no encryption only lock....

Yeah, i also use color note

It doesn't seem to be possible to edit notes on the PC though, or is there? Also, can you only sign up using your Facebook or Google account?

I only sign in using Google..
When u need to copy text to pc..than u can copy from colo note to any text file in phone then transfer it to pc...
Hope this helps

Not what I'm looking for. If anyone knows a notes app that supports sync and editing on the PC, like you can do on Google Keep, but with privacy, please let me know.

Whatsapp Transfer - Iphone to android (Freeware)

Hello,
Has anybody found an alternative solution to Wazzapmigrator (as it is not free on android play anymore). I am looking to moving all whatsapp chats and media from an iphone to a new samsung handset. Or is this not possible at all?
Look forward to your comments.
cheers!

But ISO on the iphone has iCloud as Default to backup Whatsapp. Plus As it's an 8gb iphone i cannot complete a full backup? Will appreciate if there is a solution!. Will Whatsapp on android recognise ChatStorage.sqlite (Chat saves on Whatsapp) if it is saved on google drive?

I downloaded Backuptrans iPhone WhatsApp to Android Transfer to switch my whatsapp data when I got my Galaxy Note 5. It is also a paid one but worked smoonthly. If your whatsapp chats are important enough, just purchase the program. No free one can help currently.

Google 'LatestOnNet.com' guide on transferring WhatsApp from iPhone to Android. I've recently done this. It works. Sorry, I'm not allowed to post the link here. So, you better Google the article.

Google control on exchanging WhatsApp from iPhone to Android. I've as of late done this. It works. Apologies, I'm not permitted to post the connection here. Along these lines, you better Google the article.
