hey guys,
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... Already have a number of beta testers who I've received only positive responses from so far. 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.
Chamelion, I will be pming you later in regards to two accounts, there are a couple things I need to research beforehand.

much easier for both of us if you just forward your personal .com address e-mail to the e-mail address my server assigns you. if you have an alias, your replies will appear from your personal .com email, not from my server
for those who've PMed overnight (i'm in london time, 8:20am here now) i'll set up your accounts within the next few hours.
update: all accounts from last night are set up. see your credentials information in your PM boxes!

Hi !
I can understand. No problem.
I'm 35 myself but my last daughter is only 2 weeks old ... that's why I'm still alive and kicking at 2.30 am (Paris Time).
Cheers for the account. I'm giving it a try and will report soon.
current users : please feel free to give feedback on this thread too! appreciate it via PM but it'd be nice for other users to get some 3rd party reviews of the service!
How to use?
Chamileon, how can I use?
W/O internet access through phone company?
With internet access through free wifi?
TIA

doesn't matter what kind of internet you have / what method you use. long as you can open a website, you can use this

Hi everyone,
I have to acknowledge that the service provided by Chamelion is working flawlessly. I've been using it for a week now and did not encounter any trouble except encoding issues but apparently not from his side. Flexmail is getting crazy with encoding, but poutlook is working great.
For sure, give it a try (if not more) !
thanks Chamelion for the good experience.
Note also that Chamelion is very accessible and quick to respond.
appreciate the positive review DR400, thanks
I have also been using the service for a week, and both Web Access and poutlook are working great.
Great!
I just signed up for the exchange service with Azim and it is great. Not only is it working wonderfully, his customer service and response time has been great. You can't beat what he offers with a stick!
Sign up peeps!
Scarlet
thanks for the feedback guys and gals!
Customer Service is A+, Exchange works flawlessly.
Great Job Azim, and Thank You!
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
I've created a thread here in hopes that someone with the right know how can help out. the orginal thread can be found here....http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=345071
It as become a huge annoyace to continuesly click "download images" for my mail. I've been searching for a long time find a reg key some where that'll change this, but no look. in the ogirnal thread, there is mention that the samsung i8000 has the setting disabled by default. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4631247&postcount=29
can anyone lend a hand with this one?
I'm intrigued.. will take a gander.

200 points for this man!
This question was asked way back in June 07!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311030
It does give an explanation in the thread as to why you might not want to automatically download messages... basically you could suddenly find you are swamped with even more junk mails..

i am not even sure how to make sense of what was said in that thread. I dont see how allowing automatic download for html images in an email will increase spam to the mail account. at this point in the game, winmo is the only platform that doesnt allow html rendering by default. if this were true, then woulding everyone else who doesnt use a windows mobile device be flooded with spam?
Umm... pretty sure that my GMAIL account handles the SPAM ok.
I'm still going to look into this a bit more, but I have been super busy today.
As i understand what is said, spam senders send messages to accounts generated at random hoping some of them get to a proper account. The pictures that are in the email are encoded with email address it is sent to eg. [email protected] so that if you download that image the server knows that is a valid email address and is noted.. and spread for everyone else to send you a message...

Yes... that's exactly correct....except it goes to a server not an email address... basically the concept is that it notifies the sender that the email is legit, and adds them to the list of good email addresses to sell

like l3it3r said, my spam filter does a great job. can't tell you the last time i've seen spam come through my inbox. thats a none issue over here.
me either. It is a very rare occasion when I get spam in either my corporate or personal email.
if thats a problem we could atleast try to have an option to "trust this sender" or something to automatically download html pics from trusted sources
have added this thread to my subscriptions and will watch with interest
This is something that I have found annoying for a long time now that I can't just download the images in my emails by default. I really expected it to be an easy fix and that I would find an answer straight away along the lines of "...change this one line of the registry to '0' ... " so I was really surprised to see it was a much more complicated issue.
Anyway thanks in advance to anyone with the tech knowhow who is looking into this for us all
maybe its possible to make some script or something that presses automaticly "download pictures" when email opened... i have no idea how or if its possible but maybe someone can...
For Outlook on desktop computer this is possible on registry hack. On mobile outlook this registry key is not persist...?!
http://email.about.com/od/outlookexpressreading/qt/et_inline_off.htm
Maybe is possible on other location?
I'm looking for a solution to this as well. I would like the option to trust certain senders, at least. I can't believe Microsoft didn't trust us enough to give us an option for this. I would also like to have scrolling permanently enabled.
If you add the sender to your contacts, it will automatically download the images. This is the only way I have ever known to make this work, it would be great if someone figured it out, but until then this is the only work around I know.
i would like to have this function as well.. is great that my email mostly need image downloaded together.. when i got slow connection, i would like it to download all n internet picture together while it is idle. then once i got time i can faster read it all without further waiting for downloading.
thumbs up for this feature. at least have an option so that user can tweak themselves. no nid to argue about anything but juz let user make the choice accordingly.
DEFINITELY need to have this automatically download internet pictures AND turn on scrolling..... what's the point of having such a great screen and touch capabilities when the stupid email can't figure out how to show you pictures and let you scroll right?
HUGE oversight on Microsoft's part there - email should look as nice and classy as Opera does on my TP2!!!
UP !!!
I am still looking over this. Its really annoying and kills me. What a waste?
This comes to me as a suprise and i am not sure if this is just my phone or the way WP7 works. when receiving an email with an attachment an wanting to forward it to someone else it seems I have to tap on the paper clip and download the attachment first then i can forward it to someone else or it will not send the attachment. in winmo 6.5 you could set to auto download attachments so they would be available. is this the way it works for all WP7 phones?
That should depend on the type of server you are using. I may be wrong, but only Exchange has this capability.

Do you know if there a reg edit to make your email attachments auto download? like in 6.5?
I don't think it's possible, at least I've never heard about it.
Since all my accounts are Exchange (you know that both Hotmail and Gmail offer this for free, don't you?) I don't even need this. When you forward a message on Exchange, you don't need to download attachments to the phone, they will be added by the server automagically. In addition to push mail of course.
I know this is not an answer to your question, sorry, just something you might want to consider.

Yes but my email address have my own domain so not sure wha i can do i heard there are exchange services you can pay for per month do you know of these? or can you use your own email address with hotmail?
thank you
In this amazing world of Android, is there not an app that can decipher an email and add the appt to calendar? For example, I get a lot of emails advising me of the practice schedule for the coming week or two, the email has days and times and locations. Is it too much to ask to have those times automatically added to my calendar? I mean Google now goes far enoughthat it will track parcels or flights, is this not the next logical step? Is tedious to manually add them from each email. I would expect some kind of visual confirmation where you could edit any minor details of course. Any dev who could come up with this would clean up! Unless there's something like this on the market that I've overlooked?

Just a quick update, after checking, it appears that the problem is only with Gmail? If I forward these Gmail messages to Hotmail or others, the time in the body of the email is highlighted, allowing me to tap it to create a date on Samsung calendar. I have to fill in the details but that's what I'm talking about!
I guess I could create calendar date verbally with Google now. Anyone have a better way? Gmail is my main email.

Argh! I guess you mods can delete this thread. Apparently, if I open Gmail using the stock email app I can achieve what I wanted. Thanks me!

found your thread by searching the same content. I found this helpful because i have the same problem like yours, i.e. too many emails with appointment and schedule which i hardly manually enter into my calendar. switching apps also takes too many steps to complete. Ive never use Stock Email that came with the device (i am on Samsung galaxy note 3 now). Let me try see if it works. However, I found stock email app is a bit slow receiving emails, that's why ive never used it Did you find any other app that does the job? i also looking for an app which can remind me to reply emails later, because some emails come, i skim through it and will reply later when i have time. But sometimes i forget to reply, and very hard to find the mail again you have any solution for this?
cheers
Hello mates!
I am looking for an email client that is able to: work well with gmail and exchange, and that is able to sync gmail calendar && contacts as well as exchange calendar && contatcs
any ideas?
Thanks for your thoutghs
UPDATE:
I found (via 1mobile and/or blackmart) this free email client named EMoze, it does let you manage gmail && exchange along with calendars and contacts.
Personally, i dont like the look and feel much, but hell! its free and gets stuff done, so it easily gets 4 starts.
If you guys know any other client, i would like to know!
Realistically, I separate Exchange from everything else, as Exchange = Business stuff. I have used Touchdown for Exchange going way back with great success. but it only works with Exchange.
For anything else, I use K-9 Mail and for Gmail the Gmail app.
Yes they are not combined, but I really don't want them as I like to keep the different worlds different. You can use K-9 for gmail aco****s which I do, but for my primary device linked gmail account I just keep that in the gmail account.

Hey there @krelvinaz !
thanks for your thoughts, indeed K-9/[email protected] is way up there in some reviews i found online, ill see if i give touchdown a shot later on; thanks for posting mate! :highfive:
Have you tried Replicon for the same. If not I would like you to give it a try so as to know the difference and the purpose of the same in managing the tasks as well as syncing with the stuffs that you have mentioned. Give it a try, I am sure it will work out good enough for you.
Enhanced Email can do all your email. You can customize the colour for each account and create your own theme. I have been using for several years.
