The email.apk should handle all email accounts. Gmail.apk is intended for Google Mail accounts.

The problem I have is figuring out what type of email account it is. The email address is powered through google but it has a csu.fullerton.edu domain. Its the weekend so I can't go to school and ask someone either. If someone has a similar school email like myself, it would be greatly appreciated if you told me what you typed in for the settings of your account.

It's really going to depend on your school - it could be anything. At my school, its webmail.(school initials here).edu. You're probably going to have to just log onto their web email application for now.

I hate the email app(. Thanks for all the replies!

My college uses webmail (run by Google) for email. All I did was in the Gmail app, add an account and put in my [email protected](school initals).edu and password and it worked. No special settings or anything in the gmail app.

Hey,
if it takes you to what gmail looks like give this a try~

Yeah, you'll have to get account specifics from the tech support people unless you already have that info on your PC

I need to add school email in CM6.

I need to add my email address for my college in CM6 but there isn't an option to do so. I can set it up OWA method but I don't have the options.
I go to Settings, Accounts & Sync, Add account and only see:
Twitter, Exchange, Facebook, Google. Where did the option for "Other" go? Any workaround?
Have you tried k-9 mail app for non gmail accounts? Avail in the marketplace!

Set it up under exchange then for the server use the link you go to to access the email ( without things that come after the / if there is one) and for the domain put the schools website

The domain would be the website I go to check my email correct? I don't think it's the school website.
the domain would most likely be the suffix of your email address.
it is possible that you login with a domain name other than the email suffix. however, if you're looking for the 'other' to set it up, then i'm pretty sure you already have the domain, user, server, etc.
email: [email protected]
domain = mydomain
server = email.mydomain.com
credentials: mydomain\me or it might be mydomain/me /shrug
Thanks I got it to work

Does K-9 have push mail?
You can read the description in the Market. Setting it up exchange worked fine for me as long as you know your login information and the school website.

[Q]G2 downloading emails already deleted?

Hi,
I'm comming from a blackberry and this email thing is a little frustrating. I've set up my ISP road runner email account and I keep getting new email notifications for emails that had already been viewed on the g2 and and deleted. I have set it up to delete emails from the server when deleted from the inbox. I had the same problem last year when I had my HD2. Any help?

anyone with feedback?
See if you can remove the updates to Gmail from the Market. It's a bug I had on my Gmail.
Are you using gmail? Else it could be you are just using a one way sync that downloads your email and sends your email but doesnt update status..

Sorry for the very late reply. My account wasnt set to automatically subscribe to threads after I post. But I'm no longer having the issue, and this was a pop mail account from my isp.

[Q] how to accept outlook appointments?

I am trying to figure out how to accept outlook appointments sent to my business email account.
I am just using the stock email app but am open to ideas.
When I get a email with a outlook scheduled event in it it appears as just blank space. Is there a way to fix this? It is super easy on a blackberry, seems like a big oversight for android...
When I have appointments sent to my work email I just forward them to my Gmail and then save the file that is listed in the email. It works fine so far, I even get reminders of the meeting 15 min before hand.
I do believe it will send a response from your Gmail account that you are attending the meeting. I'm not 100% sure about that though.

I tried that and it was just a blank email….
This is what my outlook appointments look like. It usually has a view and save option. Since I've already saved it it just allows me to view. I'm not positive why yours isn't showing up.
Are you forwarding the email with the actual appointment/meeting time that outlook gives you the option to select attending/tentative/decline?

For example.. My boss will send me an invite… only the email has a subject but nothing attached. The only way I can know that there was an invite attached is if he says in the email or tells me afterward when I ask him "why the strange email?" This is using the native email app
nobody?

Microsoft Email

I cannot get this to finish setting up in the default email app. I'm trying to find something that syncs with my university's email/calendar. But the default email won't even load my account.
Are you sure your server settings are correct?

delete email from server? Optimus G Pro E980

I'm using the phone pretty much stock. I have a Gmail account and an IMAP4 account. I'd like to set things up so that when I delete an email from the phone, it also deletes it from the server (and hopefully my WinXP PC using Mozilla Thunderbird). If I could get it to do the same for my Gmail account so much the better.
I've looked at "similar" threads here on XDA, but this phone does not seem to have the options that the other threads list.
I'd like to stay with the built-in mail system if possible.
90 views, 0 replies. Am I the only one who wants to delete mail from the server when i delete it from the phone?
Lol sorry bud I wish I knew.
