Exchange SP2 Push Mail Providers

Hi all,
Just upgrading to new Imate ROM. Now it seems that Universal has push email can anyone recommend an Exchange SP2 direct push email provider for consumer market? Many thanks for taking the time to read.
Tom C (UK) :lol:

The onlyone I know for the moment is 4smartphone.net - if you find any better (means cheaper), let me know!

Some report are saying 4smartphone.net takes 30 seconds to push an email to your device, rather than 5 seconds or less that others are getting via their own exchange servers.
Its worth asking these website exchange account providers what frequency they run the push 'heartbeat' at - you might end up with a big bill if they haven't set the Exchange/firewall to a reasonable rate.

Device SMS Address
I've just signed up for the 4smartphone trial, but Orange are completely unable to tell me what the Device SMS Address should be. They don't have a clue what this is about. I was guessing [email protected], but that doesn't work.
Does anyone know what it should be?

If you're using the aku2 rom then you don't need an sms address. The MSFP/Direct Push works via http not sms. Waaaaaay better!

Settings
I think it is that version. I'm using the new ROM version 1.30.68 with Radio version 1.09.00. I can see the push mail icon in Comm Manager, but it's greyed out, so I'm not sure where to go from here. The 4smartphone support pages are not exactly informative.
Can anyone point me to a website about setting this up? My searches are not getting me far.
Thanks.

Got it working
Just need to ignore the instructions on the 4smartphone web page about SMS Device.
From the moment of clicking send on my Desktop to the email arriving in my device inbox the time taken is about 25 secs, which includes gmail forwarding it to the 4smartphone address.

4smartPhone Help!!
Glad to hear that you got the SMS problem sorted which help me out too. I can now sync with contacts but what do I do for the email. Do I have to set an account up on WM5 which I have done but there is no push coming through I have to manually send and receive. Any help much welcome. Thanks

You need to set it up using active sync in WM5. You will need to add a server (secure.4smartphone.net) then your username, password and domain (4smartphone). It will then sync using the GPRS connection.
I've got Outlook desktop, Outlook Web Access (with smartphone) and Outlook on WM5 all synchronizing nicely. My only problem is that I have three pop email account on Outlook desktop, but 4smartphone only seems to work with one.

And just to add the obvious, you need to have email being forward to the address that you got @smartphone.com

4Smartphone.net are US based, where email to SMS is very common. It took the Americans about three years to wake up to the fact that everyone else in the world has to pay for SMS messages to be sent - hence the new push technology from Microsoft.
What they are referring to is a feature known as AUTD (always up to date) which is how Exchange used to do push. A specially created SMS text message would be sent to your phone which told your device that something had changed, and it would then do a sync.
I am told that it worked very well - it is just unfortunate that for everyone outside of the USA the feature would cost many thousands to run for each single user.

4smartPhone Help!!
Thanks for your quick reply. I have forwarding set up and all the correct settings for Active Syn in WM5, UserName, Password, Domain and Save password. Under the Options in ActiveSync there now appears and Exchange Server with the following selected Contacts, Calendar, E-Mail, Tasks.
I'm still not sure though what to do with the email all the above are syncing via 3g. In the Messages section do I have to create a new account and if so what are the correct setting for this?
Thanks again for the help and suggestions.
Tom C.

When it syncs with the Exchange server it automatically goes into the Outlook email inbox on your device. If you've previously been synchronizing with the desktop it wipes out those emails, which is why I'm trying the Pro version of 4smartphone and synchronising all three.
Have you checked if test emails you are sending are reaching the 4smartphone email address? You can do that by logging into the web version of Outlook via the link on their website.
Also the push email icon in Com Manager should now be working and it will say Microsoft DirectPush at the top.
That may not be much help, but I am also completely new to this.

4smartPhone
Once again thanks for the help. Just about got it sorted as I read your reply. The missing link for me is that the you don't have to sent up a seperate email account I was looking for server addresses extra but all those go under ActiveSync. Getting mails fine now but not too sure yet about sending them. Are yours sending fine or is there a delay?
Thanks again, you are still once step ahead of me

I've got Push email working with mail2web.com and have a few questions:
I've gota couple of email addresses that won't forward to my mail2web email account and I don't really want to use mail2web's harvester as that only checks once every hour, so I was wondering whether it's possible to set Outlook on my PC to synce with my mail2web account so that my PC will download emails from my POP accounts, then upload them to my mail2web server, which then pushes the emails to my phone?
Or is there a simpler way to do it?
Also, when I reply to an email that's been pushed the reply address is always my mail2web email address, which is a pain as it confuses people and gets rejected by my email groups. How can I change the default address that my replies go from, or even just change them on each email as I reply?
I'm sure I'll have more questions soon.! Cheers.

Hotmail Activesync Working in 3.70!

Awesome news folks. Hotmail activesync finally works for me here on EVO 3.70 email program. Email/Contacts/Calendar working fine. Thank goodness. Now all we need is multiple exchange support and we will finally be up to par.

What setting did you use, are you on the stock app? Still cant get mine to work, thx in advance!
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

Really? Im using the stock email app.
Set Server as m.hotmail.com
username: [email protected] (or live or msn or whatever)
password: xxx whatever yours is
Dont set domain
Set SSL on and accept all ssl certs.
Working great for me. Slow to download contacts at first but works fine afterwards.

Does it push or just periodically check for new mail?

What does the 3.70 refer to? My stock mail app from HTC is v2? NM, I figured out that 3.70 is the overall software load.

Worked for me too, no html though. Shucks, thx anyway!

Didn't work for me, I still get the failed to create account error. This is getting pretty annoying. I've seen some other posts that people have had success with using another email client besides the stock one so I guess it's time to look around for a third party email app.

I have been using 'Improved Email'. Even though I got the stock app to work, I will probably keep using Improved Email as it allows me to check multiple emails for deletion. Neither app currently displays HTML emails.

It works fine for me, thanks for the heads up.

Hotmail email setup

Dear members,
I deleted my hotmail email and wants to create another but when I input my email and password ( and I am sure they are correct), I have this error message " can't connect to server" and I have strong internet connection, what do I do? Thanks.

There's a known issue w/Hotmail sync if you're using corporate sync/active sync setup. MS changed the sync setup on their server and it broke sync on all kinds of phones...that might be what is affecting you.
This is one of the key threads on MS forum about it:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...-devices/e8a68843-02f9-4fe3-957b-233b21179fc5
Results can vary - it was working on some phones for some accounts, not on others. It started working again on my wife's Razr Maxx when she got her 4.0.4 update, it always worked fine on my GNex.

on ICS and JB, when i add a hotmail, it added as exchange. dont know why, but it automatic setup with it.

Well, from ACCOUNT SETUP> I input my email and password and hit on NEXT and after that > Could'nt open connection to server! tried hundred of times but no way!
Does that mean i cannot set HOTMAIL on my device? If so which Application can i use with which i can set HOTMAIL as my default e-mail for sending mails?

I have 3 setup on my phone...
Just add a corporate account and use your full email address as the Username and use m.hotmail.com as the server address

And how do i do that? I cannot seem to pass the stage for email and password input? Is it POP, IMAP or EXCHANGE? And i have never use any.Only used to setting simple email and thats all

[Q] Exchange e-mail failure - Optimus G

Hi all,
I have an Optimus G and all is going well except for exchange integration. I configured the System Settings->Accounts & Sync as follows:
[email protected]
password
domain\username
mail.server.com
domain
Use SSL -> checked
I get past the next two screens and see a TOAST popup that says: "Server is not available. Please try again later."
The same settings worked on my Samsung Captivate running Cyanogenmod 7 and beyond over the last two years, right up to a nightly from a week ago. AFAICT, this issue is isolated to my LG phone and LG's implementation of Exchange accounts.
I tried other apps like Divide, MailDroid, etc., and they all work - but I want my work calendar via Business Calendar or the stock Calendar app, and I cannot find a way to get an Exchange account to work on the phone natively.
I've spent hours on Google and testing apps, all with no luck. It's the curse of buying a brand new phone, I suppose.
Any ideas?

Check your exchange email for devices.. if you flash a lot, each time you set up the email it will count your device as 1..I know the email won't accept more than 10 devices

Good thought - but the list only has a few attempts from various apps I've tried, and I've been clearing it regularly. The only attempt that apparently NEVER showed up in the list is when I tried to use the included Exchange account setup (the one that keeps failing). It's like it gets right to the last step and then gets rejected.

I recently moved from a Desire Z to the Optimus G. On Gingerbread or any ICS Roms on the Desire Z, simply putting mail.domainname.com worked for me. However, I had the same problem you are using when attempting to add my school's exchange server to the phone. I worked around it by using exchange.domainname.com instead of mail.domainname.com. I recommend that you try doing this.
Once I input that as the server name (username was [email protected] and so was email address), everything worked.
Hope it helps!

YOU WIN! While the server name was already correct, your note inspired me to replace "domain\username", which apparently works on all other phones in the company, with "[email protected]". That worked!
Hooray! Now I have work e-mail and calendar on my personal phone...hey, wait a minute... :silly:

I am having the same problem "Server not available. Please try again later".
So am I correct in saying that instead of username, I should put [email protected]?
For example, if my username is worldjunction and my domain is batman then for the Username field I shoud put [email protected]?
And for the Domain field should I put batman.com?
Your advice is greatly, greatly appreciated. I'm getting desparate here.

Using [email protected] doesn't work me. Anyone else have this problem?

I am having the same problem where it is saying "wrong address or password." The password is correct (because i can set this up with my other andriod devices) but there must be something going on with the username or server address
For example:
email address: [email protected]
password: password
username: sample & company/sample & [email protected] have all been tried
server address: mail.company.com & exchange.company.com have been tried
domain: company
Anyone figure this out yet?? your help is much appreciated

thought i was the only one with this issue.
ahhh will give your guys method a try

Any update to this problem? I have it working with my Galaxy S2 but I can't get my work email to sync on the OG. I've tried a combination of all of these.

mail.company.com
exchange.company.com

I'm having the same problem with my LGOG phone. like many i ahve tried all possible combinations and it doesn't seem to work.
like wise, maildroid was such a breeze to set up and K9, like the stock email app doesn't work. k9 didn't work for me in my older phone either after one of their update.

Same problem here
I seem to have the same issue as everyone else. Exchange email works just fine on my iPhone, and everyone else's Android devices (Galaxy S3, Nexus S, etc...). I use the exact same settings and the stock app on my LGOG will not connect. I installed a third-party email app and it worked, but it's ugly, and I want all my email accounts in the same place - as well as calendar and contacts integration.
I've tried all the suggestions - various combinations of usernames, server names and domains, and nothing is working. It appears something is horribly wrong with the LG email app.
Is there any way to install the email app from the Nexus 4?

[SOLVED] Can't create Email account with Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync!

Can't live a day without email, and since yesterday I can't create any email account with the Samsung stock email app through Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync. It keeps saying "Setup couldn't finish: Unable to connect to server". I have tried YMail, GMail, none works! I guess I am not the only one and it's a MS server problem?
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
Kindly check and confirm.
TIA.

Ok, what specific email service are you trying to setup (GMail, YMail, etc.).
What is the name of the server that you are trying to connect to? For example, the ActiveSync server for GMail is m.google.com.
Lets start with that and see where we go from there.

GMail. That's how it worked since the day I got the phone, but now it isn't working. It's obviously a different Note 2 (the old one was having a problem, so service center provided me a new one), but that shouldn't be any reason.
I just type my username, then password, select Manual setup, tap on MS Exchange ActiveSync, then I tap on next and that error pops up! The server address is m.google.com like you said. But I've tried with different address like m.gmail.com, no luck!
Now I had a Nandroid backup from my old Note 2, which I was restoring some minutes back with Nandroid Manager, and when I restored the email and Exchange service the old email data is back, as Exchange ActiveSync.
This is the most weird thing I've seen since a long time!

Tried that mate. No better.
Now could any one of you test it for me? I'm strongly recommending to NOT delete the account you're already having with ActiveSync, just try with another account and see, please? I've GMail and YMail accounts, so can't say about any other account.

Yep read at least 6-7 articles about it. What a stupidity by Google! http://www.theverge.com/2012/12/14/...-sync-exchange-support-for-gmail-calendar-and
Anyway, that was it for me, created a Hotmail account and a Live account as well (love the name, Live, lol) and Exchange ActiveSync created the account easy.
Now I guess there is no way I can have all my messages transferred to the Hotmail account from the Gmail account right, and have the new emails in Hotmail instead of Gmail? I have to manually edit the email id everywhere from Gmail to Hotmail or is there any trick?

Yes, This is good way and I am also doing same since long. I have yahoo account and forwarding Gmail to yahoo always.
I don't think you need to change ID everywhere, just use both ID atleast for now, may be there will be some solution for Gmail comes.
