I think I have to use the corporate email thing on there, but I have no idea how to set it up. I typed in my email address and password, but I think it wants a domain name?
Can someone help me out please?
stop using AOL
but here you go, this should work for you
http://about.aol.com/faq/openmailaccess#othermail
haha yeah I know. It's for my wife. I still don't see a domain name on that site.
Have you tried just aol.com (stupid question i know)
If not try imap.aol.com or imap.aim.com
If none of those worked for you then, im not sure. Maybe call AOL customer support if no one here knows?
I think its the same for any gingerbread rom. Just can't get it set up

I've noticed lately that when creating new contacts on my Incredible, I don't have the option to create a GMAIL contact. When I try to add a new contact, there's a loading screen for something then where you put all the info. I have an unrooted Incredible with 2.2
Are you using a third party app for contacts? I just checked mine and it works even on CM7.
No I'm not using other contact apps. I've been using other messaging apps though.
Another question about a smartphone in general, could I use my Incredible as a prepaid phone because?

Sorry, I don't know anything about putting an Incredible on a prepaid service.
A search here or on google could yield results.
Back to your contacts problem. Could be a gmail sign in problem on your phone. Have you changed your password lately and signed into your phone with this new password?
Someone who knows more than me feel free to chime in!
Haven't changed my password yet, do I don't think that's the problem.
After I upgraded to stock 2.2 I noticed the people.apk was changed much. In 2.1 if it was a google contact you could assign custom Names to Numbers/emails and name the custom label. In 2.2 only custom is an option and can not rename the label. And in answer to your question on 2.2 creating a new contact would always default to creating a phone contact, I had to goto the drop down and pick the google account I wanted to add it too. If you are having problems, try removing and adding that account or clearing data. Have you tried with a different gmail account?
I am trying to set up an Evo for one of the managers at my company
I used all the same settings (other than login/pass obviously) as the settings for my Evo to connect to my work account....
Here's the problem I am having.
I am trying to set it up as a POP account. But it always comes back saying that it had a problem connecting.
On the email server side (I am also the network admin) I can see that the phone is trying to connect, but it never sends the login credentials.
From this phone, I tell it to update and the email server displays the IP address and "Logging On" and just sticks there until it times out.
On MY Evo (same settings in email client) the server displays "Logging On" for approx 1 second, then displays my login.
This tells me that it is a problem with the new Evo, and not server configuration.
The only difference I can find is that my Evo, and one other Evo that are currently working correctly are Hardware Version 0003, where the one that is giving me problems is Hardware Version 0004.
From everything I have read, the only difference betwwen the 0003 and the 0004 is the camera.
Has anyone else experienced this? This phone is for the VP of Operations so my ass is kinda on the line here.
Sorry if this post seems a little scatterbrained, but thats just how my head is working right now because of this situation.
Can you login with his account on your phone?
Have you tried your account on his phone?
I highly doubt this is a phone problem.
Is wifi on? I know its a dumb question but as weird as it sounds when wifi is on the email app gets angry.

saw an app called k9 in the market for mail. Might wanna check it out. Sorry I couldn't help more. If anything I bumped this thread for ya.
There is a mail app called Spider Mail I believe that works well. I had a problem with my student e-mail account and for some reason that bypassed it.
The above steps sound reasonable to try.
However, reason for my posting is, what is the justification for going POP over imap? Or do you intend on leaving the messages on the server?
As for K9, it's one of the better more robust email clients for android. Updates are released at least once a week on their google development site. My experience with it is strictly in an imap environment. It works exceptionally well in this config. Can't comment on its pop implementation.
His login works from mine.
No accounts work from his.
Wifi off for initial configuration. Have to make sure it resolves the address correctly over mobile connection instead of caching how the mail server address resolves within my network.
Messages will remain on server, pop3 is fine (and is the configuration that is working on my evo)
I want to retain the stock mail app, makes support easier if everyone is set up the same.
Thanks for all the responses. I'm thinking a factory reset may be in order.
You could try installing alogcat, attempt the server connection, then review the phone's log to see what errors are detected.

thanks, I will give this a shot.
Thanks for all the help. The problem ended up not being the phone at all. It was a really screwy problem with active directory.

Lol. Trust me, wasn't my decision to use any Microsoft products. I inherited it from my predecessor. And I have yet to find a reliable way to migrate away from exchange.
Ive managed to set up Exchange ActiveSynt for hotmail so it finally pushes but i still dont get the option of HTML in Message Format.
Any ideas if HTC will ever sort this out?
Its not much to ask, id like to see my emails when I get sent them and how they're supposed to look. Never had this problem on my iphone.... lol.
Im on ARDH 5 btw.
Thanks, and rant over.

As far as I'm still aware, there's only a couple of paid versions in the Market.
Check out;
Moxier Mail (exchange),
Touchdown
Roadsync
I tried a few (trial), wasn't entirely happy, and went to the stock Google mail using exchange, and now Improved Email (no HTML).
Things might have changed since though.
Bump, anyone seen a fix for html yet?
Hi Guys.
yesterday I helped a friend upgrade her galaxy nexus to JB, and I asked her whether she had anything important on her phone she said no.
Turns out I wiped the phone, and when i ask her to sign to her google account to bring her contacts she doesnt know her gmail!
We try to use google account recovery using her email addresses but turns out none of them were used when the new account was setup.
I did take an application backup with halaxy nexus toolkit, but it seems it's just that. apps with no google account info.
Anyone has any idea that might help me? I'd really appreaciate it.
Hire a nice hacker to hack the password, then change it. Fast.
Contact Google.

yeah I did, but they might take a while.
When I set her up, we didnt put any security questions or anything, so it'll be very difficult to recover through google.
I'm thinking whether somehow I can have a look at the apks or the .bak file we took, and find the username at least , in this way at least
I can tell google where to look
Normally you would have had to use a secondary email address when signing up for Gmail for password reset reasons. Is there an option for that when trying to reset password?

We had a try at the password recovery using an email address that we think it's correct (usual combination of name/birth year etc)
Once you go into the gmail password recovery page It shows you part of the email address (the domain is ok but the rest is blacked out)
I recognize the domain name being something I usually use as a fake email when I'm trying something quickly. so I'm pretty sure we got her email address right now.
Unfortunately due to the domain being fake I can't recover her password using that email address.
I remember writing her newly created email and password in a piece of paper and saying. once you get home change the password and update all your details to the correct. ( well that didn't happen :-/ )
If she's ever signed in through her PC and saved her passwords through her browser then you could recover it from the saved passwords list.

I hope for your own sake, that she didn't just store her contacts locally. I saw that many times, especially women usually don't bother and keep hacking their numbers in just like that, without thinking about setting up sync or contact cloud beforehand. Good luck!

Any chance that she has all her contacts stored on her SIM card?
If so, just create a new Google account and restore her apps...

Actually, when she got the new phone, I think the way I copied all the contacts from her older phone was into the SIM, put the old SIM into the new phone and imported them.. (my memory is bad, but that kinda makes sense for coming from a dumbphone to an android)
I just asked her and she might still have the old phone and the old SIM. so maybe there is a chance there, gotta wait for her to go home and try to find it..
This will definitely teach me a lesson.
take a freaking nandroid, whatever your friends say!
PS: I reckon I'm stressing more about this than she is.. if it happened to me i'd be a royal pain in the bum.

Hope it works out, man.
And I know what you mean, messing with other peoples phones is a bit more stressful than if you mess up your own.
Happened to me just recently, sweated myself thin till I figured out where to find the right baseband and give him back his reception... :banghead:
You're the one they trust, a sworn XDAer, flash-a-holic crazy phone guy. If they can't get redemption from you, how will they make it in this tech-crazed world?

I'm trying to set up my work email to my phone, it's a dot education, and no matter which way I try it comes up with an error.
If I try to set it up under exchange it tells me the protocols are wrong.
Of I try to set it up under normal email it tells me that the email address is wrong.
Is there something I'm missing because all of my coworkers have it set up (mostly iPhones) so I know it's possible.
Do I need a 3rd party app or some other method?

Grrrr I cant stand exchange. I work for sprint so alot of customers come in asking how to set it up. The thing is, in most cases, thats not something any carrier or manufacturer can answer; only your school and employer have the appropriate server setting at hand. If you have the proper information, and its still erroring, I would contact your schools tech department. Most teachers have access to someone who helps them set up their work email, so students shluld habe an equivalent.
