Helle guys!
I'm most likely going to buy Desire tomorrow. My HD2 changed the Lockcode automaticly today. And I'm so tired of the SMS bug and all that other things so I'm going to trash it.
My question is, can I synch Desire with my hotmail? I have everything over there, Calendar, Contacts, Mails, etc.
I love the way this function is intregrated in Leo.
Thanks for reading guys...
Yes, you can sync the desire with hotmail. I think server is pop3.live.com and smtp is smtp.live.com. I have set it up and works fine. I don't know if this is an EU only thing or USA as well..
Not too sure about anything more than the email. I have google calendar and contacts, which works best for obvious reasons..
Good luck

Hey!
Thank you dude!
I'm going to buy it then.
You can't really sync with Hotmail. The only thing you can do is receiving your emails trough pop3. You cannot sync your calendar or your contacts as there is no native hotmail or windows live app/integration for android.
What you could do is import your hotmail account into gmail and then sync your desire with gmail and you'll get your contacts and calendars and of course your e-mails. You can even send your e-mails from you gmail account with a different e-mail adress. After the import you can set your gmail account to query the pop3 hotmail server every 15 minutes to get your mails.
Did this for my girlfriend, so she can get all her mails from hotmail including contacts and calendar.

Pretty sure Gmail Mail sync is not available yet. Only Contacts and Calender unless you are talking about IMAP.

Of course it is available!
Contacts and Calendar by Exchange (Active sync)
And mail by IMAP (2 way synchronisation) ;-)
Greetz, Ranney
Nuevasync works perfectly for google.
Email arrives on my phone before it hits my desktop PC
Also syncs Calenders and contacts perfectly, just waiting on the promised categories to calenders feature to come along

since i have been using the google services for a while now, it is something that is important to me before i decide about this phone ... i know it is able to sync the basic calandar and of course email. but what about contacts? ... and in the calendar can you have it sync multiple cals using the m.google.com/sync ?
Yes.
I have two google accounts set up on mine, both calanders are on the phone, all contacts are on the phone and it all works perfect!
I was the same way with Google services. They synced up with my HD7 perfectly!
Hotmail Syncs up great as well. Gmail is great. Live Sync is great. Exchange is great. Tasks would be nice
Why would a "consumer" not want to have their emails always available, contacts are never lost and a single email entry for account settings will get you all set up?
Works perfectly with GoogleMail

Good to know on contacts! And on the calendar. My family all uses google cal. And then we share them with each other to keep up. So I needed to make sure on then multi cal support
also works perfectly with google apps and a custom domain (or two) setup as exchange servers
my main need is to have multiple calendars synced to it ... or just the ones that are linked to my email address and that are shared with me ...
right now you only get the default calendar for each synced account
Ya good to know it syncs Gmail contacts with no problem.. now I can skip setting up my dead, dormant Hotmail ID altogether.. coz last time I did that on Windows 6.5 it synced up all my contacts from dead hotmail account.. I mean each and every email address to every person I ever sent an email to started showing up on my contact list as a separate contact..
is there any way to get it to sync more than only your main google calendar? i dont mind combining them but would prefer not to

Funny thing is I just created a dummy Live Account to put it on my WP7.. and than after creating my dummy Live ID account on computer I used their 'import contacts from Gmail to Live ID Account' feature.. my gmail has only like 215 contacts with phone numbers and addresses and things like that.. when I tried to import them to Live ID... my Live ID import each and every email on my gmail account as a separate contact.. every mail ID i received an email from, every mail ID i ever sent an email to.. it all was imported as a 'Contact' on my live ID account.. 1000 contacts it showed and now I had contacts like '[email protected]' as a stand alone contact.. B*ull... that's why I never use anything from Microsoft other than Windows operating system and the phone;. .. each and every service of their sucks.. they suck at internet and everything to do with internet... at desktop they are good...
BTW I had to manually delete all those contacts from my dummy Live ID .. 25 contacts at a time.. (they wont show more than 25 per page) .. 3 clicks per 25 contacts... and a 1000 contact to delete .. before I could put it this dummy Live ID account on my WP7 to access Zune without F*cking up my contacts on my phone...
I have no email coming on this dummy account, zero contacts and nothing to do with its calendar.. i give up on Outlook too.. I am better off using Gmail and my phone as outlook.. syncing important contacts and appointments to gmail for backup.. Microsoft Outlook is dead.

I made sure before importing my current contacts that I deleted all contacts and emails from hotmail. I've had this happen before.

Well aren't you just retarded then? When setting up gmail on your phone, it asks if you want to sync contacts and calenders. There was no reason to import them to hotmail.

Are you sure there are not 1000 contacts on your gmail? For example, 'Other Contacts'. I have cleaned up my gmail so that things like unsubscribe are not in my contacts list (any tab of the contacts list). When I did the import, it was perfect.
yeah on my gmail i have a list built just for the contacts i keep ... the other ones that get auto added later i purge on a regular basis ..
what i was wanting to do with the calendars though would not work the way i wanted it to ... so instead of being able to display the shared calendars that i had on my main account i had to log into each of them on the phone and tell it to sync just the calendar with my phone to get the same end results....
How do you prevent it from syncing ALL Google contacts?
My parents just got the Focus, and they use Gmail. I set their email and contacts up, but it pulls in every person they ever emailed.
Is there a way to just sync the contacts that have phone numbers?

you can build a custom list in the Gmail site and then resync it so that it will only import the ones you want

It only semi syncs with Google calendar from what I see, I just set a biweekly repeating event on the web and on my Optimus it appears weekly. Not the best sync ever. My Live calendar synced the biweekly properly however.

What do you mean exactly?
They have several groups already in Gmail Contacts, and it still pulls in ever single person with an email address. Even the ones who aren't in their created groups.

mine imports all my events no problem at all ...
the only thing i had to do was to get one of the public cal's to show up by adding its events into my main cal.

there is also a setting in gmail someplace that lets you disable the way it adds every email address to the address book.... i have also disabled that ...
Hi,
Curious to know if anyone has succesfully got two hotmail accounts working on a stock HOX using the Hotmail account in the new mail account options?
I am not referring to the Exchange or 'Other' options that are available.
Also, does anybody know what the differences are between the available Hotmail option and setting up a manual POP3 account for hotmail (under the 'Other' option)? i.e. does the 'native' hotmail option connect via IMAP or POP3? It doesn't show specific connection details, just that the server is m.hotmail.com.
Thanks.

Ok, that'd make sense. Can you have two exchange activesync connections for two different hotmail accounts though?

i don't have any hotmail account then can't say...
But i think so...
You can try 2 as hotmail account or one as hotmail account and another one on exchange account...
I've got two hotmail accounts working fine on my stock HOX, set up using the hotmail account option.
They're both set to smart sync by default, whatever that is?
Sent from my HTC One X
Off-topic: Smart-sync is supposed to sync the mail more often, the more you use the app. So if you don't use the mail-app to much, the time between syncs will be longer. Smart? Yes, does it work? Not idea =S
Cookpass - can you these confirm these are .com hotmail addresses you have currently working?
I am trying to sync a .com and a .co.uk hotmail address using the hotmail option under mail accounts. The .com syncs absolutely fine but the .co.uk does not want to play ball, throwing up an error in the sync setting section of "sync is currently experiencing problems, it will be back shortly". I subsequently deleted all mail accounts and cleared the mail app data/cache & re-added the .co.uk address (in case there was a Windows Live conflict or whatever with the .com address) but having the same result with the sync error.
Sent from my HTC One X
I don't think hotmail.co.uk addresses can connect to m.hotmail.com (default windows live server) therefore the only option is POP3.
Would be helpful if someone could confirm this though either way.

Sorry, just realised I didn't reply to this... Both of my hotmail accounts are of the hotmail.com variety. Got them before they started dishing out the uk ones. Sorry if that doesn't help

Hotmail.co.uk addresses still not working with the m.hotmail.com server - anybody got this working or has an alternative solution, except using POP3 or forwarding?

With two hotmail accounts in HOX, when viewing a contact, does anyone know how to distinguish from which hotmail accounts it belongs to? When opening up a contact, it will have Microsoft on the link contact symbol, but I cannot find a way to distinguish between the two hotmail accounts I have on my phone. The only work arround I discovered by removing one hotmail account from phonebook view, which leaves me to show only the contacts for the second hotmail account. This is too much fussing around.
Hi there,
I have an exchange account which I am synching to my Nexus, including calendar, tasks, emails and contacts. For calendar, tasks and email I am using touchdown which works just perfect. My problem is the contacts sync.
I am still using the stock exchange client to sync my contacts, however I would love to sync only a specific group of contacts. Of course I can just sync all and the not display the groups I don't want, but they are still there and are annoying in som cases. I am not using touchdown for this, because touchdown doesn't sync birthdays to the contacts app.
I tried moxier and roadsync. Both don't seem to solve my problem. I would be greatful if anyone had a suggestion for another app, a setting or whatever to solve my problem.
Thanks
hmm... almost a hundread views, but no reply. So I guess I am asking for something that doesn't exist.
What a great device, but I really miss the Microsoft Exchange Activesync account type.
I tried to setup via the new Google Exchance account type, and I can see my exchange mail just fine i Gmail. But I dont care for reading my professional life emails in gmail, so it would have been great if OnePlus had included an email app.
Anyway, I can see my calendar items in Google Calender just fine, both my gmail and exchange calendar item. So far so good.
Contacts however is a different matter. Gmail and Exhance contacts are cluttered all together in the dial (contracts), is there a way to exclude my gmail contacts so I only see Exchange contacts?. I can't seem to find any way to do that on the oneplus 3.
Also, not all my exchange contacts are there, so although sync is greenlighted the sync is not complete. Anybody else experience and fix that?
You could use this for exchange sync. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.microsoft.office.outlook

Try the app "Mail Wise" or "Nine"...my favorite is Nine!

Will try both..probably end up with Nine also since it has be best rep.
Well, 3rd time I set up exchange it looks like I now have working email, calendar and all my contacts.
Now I just need to find a good stand alone email app for my exchange email and then disable notifications of such emails from the gmail app.
Hmm, .they sure didn't make it easy.
I started usibg to one plus 3 recently. Phone is very good but badly miss the smoofh integration of microsoft exchange and contacts in my old Samsung phone in active syn mode. . Wish one plus 3 brings its own email app like what we see in i phone or samsung.
I personally use an outlook and Gmail address. I use Nine for my email app and just forward my Gmail to my outlook address. Could always create a secondary outlook adress as well just to handle the Gmail address.
