apologies, please can we stick to the thread, please log this issue on a seperate thread as it isnt relevant to this issue.
thanks

try this, delete your hotmail account from your htc and then re add it. make sure you use these settings when prompted:
POP server: pop3.live.com
User name: Your Windows Live ID, for example [email protected]
Password: The password you usually use to sign in to Hotmail or Windows Live
SMTP server: smtp.live.com
Authentication required? Yes
might fix it...

not even there
There is no hot mail account there, it disapeared, Here is exectly what happens:
1. Click new account
2. insert username [email protected]
3. insert passwords
4. click next
usually here it downloads the setting for the account and the it asks if you want to add live account shortcuts to today screen, then downloads folders and then the account shows up in your list of accounts.
What happens instead is it opens opera and tries to log into what looks to be a live webpage, however the login details are simply a jpeg, it is really odd like some virus or something. I had this working before ok, i am not sure what has changed.

are you using windows mobile 6.5?
because if you are, in my experiences, the mail setup tool forces you to go to a website to check your mail. I havent used a 6.5 ROM that lets you use the inbuilt app.

I have the same problem and i'm using windows mobile 6.1.
in gmail it's all working perfect.

good to know
Hi, its good to know I am not the only one out there with this problem, i thought i was going mad, I amusing the latest stock romm with spb mobile shell 3, dont think that has anything to do with it though as I had it setup ok at one point. My NTL (virgin) pop works ok.

the reason?
This might be happening as winmo will only let you setup one hotmail account, someone on my phone the old account might be there even though it is not showing up as an account, therefore when you go thorugh the wizard it automatically forwards you to live webmail, this would make sense, does anyone know how to find out in the registry what acounts are setup?

go to this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=476603&highlight=hotmail
i had this problem before as well but just searching on the various forums you can pretty much find the answer for anything.
all you need to do is create a new email account (without using the automatic settings for hotmail) type in the pop3 settings and your done.

Updated
I had a similar problem when I first set-up the phone. I originally downloaded a fixed version from this site. More recently I downloaded the update available from the MS website.
Always downloads to the phone now.
Running version 10.6.0046.0800

good man
Good job that man, that worked, you simply put in a rubbish user and pass and click next, unclick automatically look for setting from the internet and then it allows you to set it up manually.
thanks for that.

Touch Pro 2 and gmail

I have had my TP2 for a few days now and i love it, except for the fact that I cannot send or receive email from my gmail account
I can access the internet fine, and use the youtube app fine, but whenever i try to send an email or hit send/receive i get this error message
"CANNOT CONNECT WITH CURRENT CONNECTIONS SETTINGS. TO CHANGE YOUR SETTINGS, TAP SETTINGS"
When i set up the email the only things i was required to supply were my email address and password....so i am assuming the problem lies with the way my handset is trying to access the gmail account, ie. trying to use wifi or something? (i dont have wifi, so i will only be using the "unlimited" interent provided with my t-mobile UK tariff)
has anyone else had this problem or do they know how to get around it as i have finally got myself a decent handset where i can (allegedly!) check my email on the move, but yet i somehow cant get it working?!!
Ihave tried both hard and soft resets to get this sorted but it just wont work and i feel like pulling my hair out!
n

I know it's not much consolation but it just worked for me...
I have a SIM free TP2 and UK T-Mobile Web'n'Walk.
Incoming mail server is imap.gmail.com
Account type is IMAP4
Username is my full gmail username
Outgoing mail server is smtp.gmail.com
outgoing server requires authentication is ticked
All this was set via automatic configuration.
Hope this helps,
Richard

This is what i have done to recieve and send Gmail trueout the standard email client on my Pro II.
First of all you have to enable imap at your gmail account which you can find under settings.
Then on your phone do the following settings.
- make an new account in your email client
- fill in your gmail adress
- fill in your name
- fill at incomming mail "imap.gmail" and account type "imap"
- fill in your account name (gmail adress) and password
- fill at outgoing mail server smtp.gmail.com
and those two checkboxes must be checked
- auto recieve and send is up to you
hope this will help you

ther's a known bug in windows mobile poutlook...
sometimes the autoconf for gmail doesn't work...(i had the same issue on my omnia)
you only need to enter the account details by hand..
to do that, in the first screen where your address is asked, enter [email protected]
leave it without the final m.
after that fill in manually all the account details, then when finished edit the account and put that m in the domain...
that should work...at least in my omnia was the only way to get gmail working...

I used this guide en it works perfectly

hi, thanks or all the replies, most appreciated.
however, i have now established that i can get my gmail account working - but only over wifi!?!? when the wireless router is turned off i get the same message as before, so there must be a setting or something that is telling my TP2 to look for a wireless connection when performing a send/receive, rather than using the "internet" (if thats the right term) that is included in my contract..AAAARGH...
i have had a look but cannot find any settings for this so i must be going mad?
can anyone shed any light on this for me before i go mad??!!

Disable proxyserver, don't have the place where you can find this. I have a dutch rom

I have a gmail imap connection on my HTC Touch that was working great but has failed to connect for the past two hours or so.

I found that to change from Download 30 Days to 7 days and it worked fine.
Oddly I returned my TP2, and switched back to my VarioV, same problem (had worked fine until then). New TP2 is now here, so will start with 7 days and try expanding to 30 days later.

does anyone know how to do this? i cannot find this option anywhere?

is there any way i can see how my tp2 is trying to receive data from my gmail account, ie. if it is trying to use internet or wifi?!?
also, does anyone have any details for the settings that their tp2 (on t-mobile UK) is using when trying to retrieve email (not by wifi)??!
i'm also assuming that t-mobile wont be able to help me as i got my phone/contract via a third party and t-mobile themselves dont seem to stock the phone themselves....

I had this problem, it drove me nuts until I worked out what it was, if i was already connected it would work but it would not establish its own new connection.
To fix it go into the email settings for the account, then select:
Edit Account Setup
Next
Next
Next
Next (Outgoing (SMTP) mail server screen)
Click the “Advanced Server Settings” Link
In the “Network connections” it defaults to “The Internet” but if you have gone through the “Connection Setup Wizard” when you first installed your SIM it renames the connection, in my case to “T-Mobile Internet”.
Change “Network Connections” to the correct one i.e. “T-Mobile Internet”
hey presto, you can now get your emails
hope this helps everyone

if the connection has a proxy in the setup, than you can use that connection only if selected like above...
if you leave "The internet" the proxy settings are ignored...you have to select the exact connection..but this will prevent the gmail to connect with wifi

Arghhh... Hotmail/Gmail sync issues

Hey All,
Had the desire for a couple of weeks now and I must say I'm impressed with it, as most of you are as well.
I've come across the following very irritating problem though:
My primary e-mail address is hotmail. Been using it for years and years and I've never had the need to change to gmail. Having switched to android now I understand that I can't sync the phone to hotmail. I have it working on pop which is 'fine' but I want proper syncing of mail and calendars which is not supported.
Fair enough, I thought this was the time I'm supposed to switch to gmail. When I booted the phone up for the first time I was asked for a gmail account for google maps, etc. and I just used one I had created a while back. Now that I'm looking to migrate to gmail completely in order to benefit from syncing, etc. I want to change this e-mail address to another gmail one.
Has anyone managed to do this without doing a factory reset on the desire??
I've tried:
i. Changing the gmail password from a pc and rebooting the phone - it just says it failed to sign in and prompts for the new password, won't let you change e-mail address though.
ii. Clearing all cache's from google related application - gtalk, gmail, maps, gapps, etc. - This doesn't work either as somehow the account information is still held.
iii. Creating a secondary e-mail address and try get everything to use it instead then remove the primary one - didn't manage either. I changed google maps, gmail and the calendar app to use the new e-mail address but it still won't let me delete the other one as it says it's being used by some other app!
Any help would be much appreciated... I really don't feel like going through a factory reset and installing everything again!
Thanks!

Go to "Menu" - "Settings" - "Accounts & Sync", tap on the Google account en tap on "Remove account". (Go back to all accounts and you can add a new Google account.)

On this subject, my advice to anyone is to get their own domain name and then use Google Apps for Domains.
At present this is what I do for my email, but if in a few years time something better than Gmail comes along, chances are I can repoint my domain to a new mail service and thus keep my email address in perpetuity.
Regards,
Dave

Forgot to mention I tried this as well but it won't let me remove it as it says the account is being used by some application
Really frustrating!

I got this same problem as this old post, but can not find the solution....does anyone know the answer as time has moved on and maybe it is an available solution.
My issue is that I just flashed LeeDrOid 2.3b&c to my Desire. I entered my HOTMAIL e-mail details as the first address at the set up prompt. Now i can not findout how to delete that account.
It seems that the whole Android E-mail setup and operation is not really as good as Windows Mobile! or its operator error ;-)
For my Sync'd HOTMAIL I'm currently using TouchDown and set the server name to 'm.hotmail.com' this thirdparty software allows full syncronisation to my Hotmail account both ways including any folders that i choose, apart from the deleted bin on my Webmail does not get emptied if i delete all from the TouchDown application on my Desire.
On my Gmail i have created my account in the Exchange option and used m.gmail.com for the server, whilst this gives me a view of all the account folders all of them show "no mail" even though i have set the Receive days to 30 days and know that I have e-mails in the folders that are newer than 30 days old.
I really would like a fully operational integrated IMAP set up for both my Gmail accounts (i have 2 account) and one HOTMAIL account, ideally using the built in Gmail and "standard Mail" programs that come with FROYO Sense.
So anyone know the answer to achieving this?
i) How to delete my original Hotmail account entered on start up of my new ROM.
ii) Is it possible to set up withing the Sense builtin applications for Exchange Gmail and also for Exchange Hotmail so that i can do away with hte TouchDown application?
Thanx for any assistance on this.

Gmail, Google Calendar and Google Contact Sync Clarity

Hello Everyone,
While on my typical WP7 blog crawls through the course of the day, I came across a number of people who seemed to ask the same question: How do I sync my Email/Contacts/Calendar to my WP7 device? Some even asked if it were possible via an App. The issue that I have is that I haven't really seen a real "How-To" on this particular subject. All I've seen are summaries that tell you to add an account, select google and enter your username and password.
I don't know if that completely answers the people's question so I wanted to make a "How-To" of my own with the method I use and if anyone else who's reading this can help add something to this, I'd appreciate it.
Before we start: Please make sure that you aren't using an Outlook account on your phone already.
Go to Settings
Go to "email & accounts"
Select "add an account"
Select "Outlook"
Enter your full email address and password, then select "sign in"
(WP7 will attempt to look for your settings and will not succeed. It will then prompt you to "check your information settings and try again.") Under username, enter your full email address again and the domain is "m.google.com" (without the quotes). Select "Sign In" again.
(WP7 Will again look for you settings to No avail) You will be prompted to check your information and try again, this is normal. Select "advanced"
Leave all the previous information in tact. Swipe down to Server and enter "m.google.com" then select "show all settings"
PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT THE CHECK BOX THAT REQUIRES ENCRYPTED (SSL) CONNECTION IS IN FACT CHECKED
(You can change the account name from "Outlook" to whatever you desire here.) You have the option to select what you would like the device to sync to from here, Calendar, Email, Contacts. When you are finished, select "sign in"
I hope this helps people out and I also hope that others can add to this.
Thanks for reading.

What is the advantage to choosing Outlook over Google on the "add an account" screen?

If you chose 'Google', you don't have to go through OP's 10 steps and achive the same results. That will be too easy, isn't it

Hmmm. It doesn't make any difference. When you add a Google account, WP7 automatically add it as EAS account just like OP did manually.

Made me smile.
The reason why I started looking around the web for something like this was because people were having issues syncing all of their contact's information (like Work 2, Company and Pager) and their Calendars.
I've found that I haven't run into either problem using this method as opposed to just setting up "Google" with the auto setting, which I have seen entries go missing on. YMMV, basically. I just wanted to help.

EAS protocol (the protocol used by WP7 to sync with Google, either setup via 'Accounts' or via this manual methods) has some limitations (only one calendar per account and may not get all contact entries). But the biggest problem is still caused by Google EAS server itself. It is just not stable enough. In the past, I have constant problems when I was using WM 6.5 to sync with it. The reason is Google EAS server needs to translate between EAS protocol and GMail protocol and it's just not that easy to do. Even Microsoft has problem with its own EAS implementation on Hotmail.

It's not that I don't understand that (hell, I've had problems with Gmail in general since the WM 5.1, back when we thought the Beta tag would never come off of gmail), It's that I've personally seen where contacts and calendar entries wouldn't completely sync and since I've gone "manual" with it, I haven't had those problems.
Again, I wasn't looking to put anyone down, I was just looking to help.

[Q] Can not Get Email from Exchange Server

I am having problem to see anything in the inbox from my company's exchange server. I have the same setup with my HeroC without any issue. Does anyone have this kind of problem. I am able to sent email from the account.
Thanks

More account info required. I have one real exchange account and 4 google accounts syncing through exchange on the email app without issue. So it's not a fundamental issue with the app.
I will say that setting up exchange between droids, HTC and samsungs can be a pain because they all want the setup info entered differently. I wish the gmail app would handle exchange accounts, it would be so nice to have one process work on all Android phones.
You are doing the manual setup. Sometimes outsourced exchange services can b funky to setup. I had one that weird.
Example:
Email was [email protected]
Sever address was west.ex145.server.net
Domain was ex145
Username was ex145\goober_newdomainname
If you do not use manual config the app assumes the server is bigco.com. I have also seen issues if you have the accept all ssl certificates checked. You would think you would want it checked in something like the example above because all the redirects an domains but checking that created issues.

Thanks for the response; I am using manual setup with the following info (using a generic name as example)
Email was [email protected]
Sever address was exchange.company.com
Domain was company
Username was company\username
There is no problem for the account setup, and I can see the inbox and the sub folders under it; however, all are empty. I can also send email from the email apps. I tried manual refresh, push, it all shows 0 mail. From the Exchange web access, I can see the mobile device sync status; but the last sync time was not updating.
Any suggestion on what else I should try.
Thanks.

delete the account on the phone, and recreate it using the correct settings, after you click save or something after configuring it, it should bring you to your email app inbox with no messages. now wait, after a few minutes it should alert you about needing additional security rights or something. it will either pop up and tell you about it, accept it, or it might just pop up a notification so you'll have to expand your notification bar menu then click the notification to accept it. your miles my vary, but that is what worked for me.
ELSE, this is the full processes I had to do (I'm the exchange admin at my work)
Open Active Directory Users and Computers, enable Advanced Features (View > Advanced Features). Go to the properties of the user you are trying to enable, go to the security tab, click Advanced, Then select Exchange Server (******\Exchange Servers) and click the checkbox for Include inheritable permission from this object’s parent.
Clear the cache for the email program on the Android phone (Settings > Applications > Manage applications > All > Email > Clear data) THIS WILL DELETE ALL E-MAIL ACCOUNTS AND EMAIL ON THE PHONE!!!!!!!!
Add the account as you usually would, it will, do a refresh and it will show no e-mails. In a few seconds you should get an alert that the program needs extra permissions, select that notification and accept it.
Also for anyone who is getting some kind of certificate error or something (i forget the exact error) after flashing a new rom, before flashing the rom wipe everything.

Thanks for all the suggestions; I was not able to get our Exchange Admin to change anything on the server side. I end up of getting "Exchange for Android" apps, and it works without any issue. I am not sure what was the issue on the stock email client. I just like to update this in case anyone else run into the same problem, at least there is a alternative (it is free with 30 day trial, kind of expensive but it works).

Depending on what version of exchange and the policies you may have received a notice to allow the exchange server to enforce policies on your phone. I missed it last time - have to swipe down and look at your notices.

I see one flaw in your setup right there. You're listing your domain twice. You're listing it in the domain field, and then apparently listing it again in the username field. That can cause some confusion, as it will essentially report to the server to authenticate "domain\username" against the domain you listed. Normally it's one or the other. The \ implies that anything before it is the domain.

Step by step instructions
Hello,
I posted some step by step instructions for setting up MS Exchange on your Android phone you may find helpful.
http://www.completesystemsdesign.co...d-tablet-to-ms-exchange-for-email-sync-2.html

It all depends on your work exchange. for me it was mail.[domain].com but I had to go to touchdown anyways since the stock email app wouldn't let me respond to signed messages.

Has anyone seen a fix for this. I had mine setup correctly and it was displaying incoming emails, but it was not syncing contacts back and forth so i deleted the account and set it back up. Now, i can see all email boxes, send emails, view sent emails, update calendar appts, and contacts. The only issue i am having is seeing emails in my inbox, so i know it is connecting. It just wont sync the inbox for some reason. I got the update to 2.3.6 on the GS2.
