My apologies if this has been covered, I've tried a couple of searches and am not turning up squat.
I flashed my dash's ROM the other day and got just about everything working proper. I don't think I was ever able to connect to the internet through it while it was synched up in activesync, but who cares? However, now it does not receive email while synched, either.
What did I miss?
Take a look at the connection settings under file on the AS on your computer

Well, I finally got my email account setup and working after the help from this forum. Now, I am in need of help again.
I have my Dash check for new emails every 15 mins. However, if I disable Wi-Fi in Comm. Manager, it won't do that, which is great. However, when I have it charging on my laptop via USB, it will check every 15 minutes for emails again, since it uses USB for Internet access. Is there a way to disable the email feature via USB? It is useless if connected to a laptop. I am also tired of constantly getting new notifications when the emails are already being picked up by the laptop.
Thanks in advance...

Configure your activesync as connected to WORK... And your e-mail to download when connected to the INTERNET. Should work
Sounds like that might solve the problem. How do I change ActiveSync to WORK? My e-mail accounts are already setup to the Internet.
Hi, I'm running the Kavana ROM, it works fine except I can't send or receive IMAP e-mail through USB.
I'm on T-Mobile prepaid, no EDGE or GPRS for me; I just want to check my e-mail over Wi-Fi or through USB. Internet Explorer works fine so data is getting through. But when I set my e-mail it says 'error synchronzing' straight away.
any ideas...? I delete all the connections (under settings, connections, GPRS) so as to try and not confuse the device. IE still working but no e-mail.
this is really frustrating and I've spent a long time looking for a solution, without success. Can anyone help...?
thanks!

You would have to use Outlook to grab your email then when you plug in your device it will sync the email from Outlook to your device.
Thanks for the reply. It actually started to work by itself...I think all I did was enable and then disable the advanced USB functionality somewhere in the options.
No need to use Outlook, I just pick up mail directly from my server. I hate Outlook and now use Thunderbird on my PC. This, in combination with https://www.nuevasync.com/ means I am finally free from having to sync with Windows!
Pls, HELP

Hi Richard, I am facing this same issue. It was working great but suddenly stop working
Do you remenber what exactly u did?
Thanks in advance
Can't remember - sorry! :-(
My ISP's mail server is an IMAP server. I have entered all of the info correctly and I am usually able to connect and receive and send email without issue. However I am seeing a few consistencies:
1) Occasionally it won't be able to send and/ or receive email. I do get an error about network coverage, settings, etc. but I have changed nothing from the last time I used it. Often, shutting down the phone and removing the battery for ten minutes will resolve the issue. Sometimes, it seems that it works thru WiFi but not through T-MO phone service, other times it's exactly reversed (maybe switching between the two is the problem?). It seems that I D/L'd a patch or found some system setting change for this problem on XDA-dev for my old silverface Dash (I now have a Dash 3G), but I can't find it anymore despite two hours spent searching the forums.
2) None of my self-created subfolders on the IMAP server are D/L'd to my Dash. Additionally, email deletes are not transferred either direction. Email deleted on the phone stays on the server and vice-versa. (Yes, of course I checked the "Remove from server " check-box)
Any help is appreciated!

hey guys.
i have a million questions but i'll restrict this post to two for now.
a little back up...i have my evo unlocked and rooted on AVA Froyo V6 on MetroPCS' network. i have their $50 smart phone plan which has push email. this feature worked great on my samsung code from metro.
now on to the issues
first and most annoying - using the stock internet browser, while WIFI is OFF i can browse using MetroPCS data network. it works well and at their speeds. if i turn on wifi, no matter where, both the stock internet browser and skyfire suddenly start giving connection errors. if i turn off wifi they go back to working but on the data network. while these two arent working, market works, pandora, facebook, weather, etc. all apps work on wifi except those two internet browsers. i should also mention opera mobile WORKS. not SKYFIRE and not the default browser - which I happen to like more than the other two!
any ideas why? what can i do to fix this?
second and also annoying - the email app SUCKS. i use Hotmail for everything. i have my gmail account forwarding there, my university account forwarding there, my website accounts forwarding there. everything ends in my hotmail account. with my previous phone (samsung code running windows mobile 6.1) i had push email working wondefully and i got used to that. i know the network has the capacity to do it. i also know it's not a problem with the network and this phone, as the email app will download the emails when it feels like it. but then if i read the email or delete the email on the phone, it doesnt do so in the server even though I have it set to do it. also when I go in and click refresh it will tell me there arent any new emails when I know there are...and then when it feels like it later it downloads the email.
is there a program, whether free or paid, that will let me have proper push email with my hotmail account? i dont need any computer sync, just download my email on the fly, preferably as they arrive.
thanks much in advance!
if i can get those two issues worked out my EVO experience will be completely blissful
for your first question i dont have an answer.
for your second question have you tried k9 mail? It works for me doing something similar. I use yahoo and not hotmail but similar set up with all mails coming to that 1 email and it pushes them as i get them and dont normally have any issues with this. It also removes them jsut fine from yahoo.
i installed K9 and it's doing things well with one major issue...which i've now come to realize is the same issue affecting the stock mail app.
the phone can't connect to HOTMAIL's outgoing server. so it downloads the emails as they arrive and i can open them and what not. but if i read them, or delete them, it doesn't update them in the server. it also wont let me send an email out, saying the SMTP settings are wrong, even though it's setting them automatically. so all of these issues are because the phone is not connecting to the outgoing server!
what now?

anyone have any idea on the internet with wifi issue?
So, I've had my Galaxy SIII for about a month and a half and everything seems to work great except for the Exchange email app. Since I've had it, I've had to remove and delete all data related to the Exchange app from the app management (Calendar, Email, Contacts, etc.). This has happened to more than just me. As I do IT work for a university, we have several students, faculty, and staff who have this device, on various networks, who are having the same trouble. These are also on different Exchange servers (students are on a Microsoft managed one and faculty/staff is on an in house server), so I don't believe its just the Exchange server that I'm connected to. Its really frustrating that I have remove and readd the Exchange account every few weeks since all of my contacts are pulled from the Exchange server.
Not sure if anyone else has experienced this, but if so, I was wondering if anyone had a solution to this problem.
Also, since the last time that I had to readd the account, I cannot change the default notification sound. The option is greyed out and the Dew Drops tone is selected. IMO, this is the most worthless tone on the device and I can never hear it when it goes off. If anyone has any ideas as to why I cannot change the notification tone, I would really appreciate it. I use the email account for work and I receive emails daily, so its a little frustrating that I can't hear my email notifications.
I'm not exactly sure what your first problem is. Why do you have to delete data to the exchange app (is this the main stock email app)? I've had no problem with mine.
For your second issue the ringtone being grayed out, make sure you don't have the phone's ringtone volume on silent or vibrate, that will grey out the box.
Not sure if it is the same, but I have a similar problem. Mine seemed more tied to the wifi network the phone was on than anything else.
If I leave one wifi network, then go on 4G, then to a new network, my Exchange servers will not always connect. If I stay put and toggle off wifi, my exchange server will connect over 4G just fine. Or if I do what you suggest by basically deleting the account, it will connect to the exchange server on wifi.
I noticed it most at work - turn the phone on when I leave the house, get to work and connect to wifi, exchange works fine all day. Drive home, walk in the house, and can not connect to exchange server (though wifi internet connection works). My resolution - restart the phone when I walk in the house in the evening. That worked every time. Annoying - yes, but better than deleting and re-adding the account.
Not sure if it is still an issue with the JB update since my work wifi has been out since then. I did a bit of research, and the best explanation I could come up with was something to do with my home router not releasing the phone when I left, and then not allowing it to reconnect fully (I'm not an IT person, so that is as technical as I get). I noticed the behavior other places with wifi as well, but not 100% of the time.
Hope this helps you narrow down your issue.
I had to clear the data from the app manager as it would not connect to the exchange server again when I readded the account without doing this. Not sure what the deal is. Also, I keep having to change the server address. We have 3 different addresses that mobile accounts should take and I have to rotate through these. It appears that the generic outlook.com will no longer find the server with the Galaxy S3.
As for the switching wifi networks affecting it, that may be an issue. We have a couple of WPA2 networks where I work and one of them gives me authentication errors stating that the username and password is incorrect. If I keep trying to connect, it eventually will without having to retype the password in. Never had this issue with the wifi or the exchange server on my Atrix. Just restarting the phone does not solve the issue for me either. It refuses to connect whether its on wifi or LTE.
As for changing the default ringtone for messages, it was greyed out due to being on vibrate...Seems strange that they would do this as everything else (messaging, gmail, etc.) can all be changed while on vibrate. I also have to change this option in two different places, the general settings and the actual account settings, otherwise it will not take affect. Seems like an odd design.
I was hoping that the JB update would fix some of the wifi and exchange issues, but it appears that it hasn't. I guess I will just have to deal with exchange breaking every few weeks...
