Hi all...
I got my new Wildfire S today and set it all up fine...
I have set up Hotmail(.com) to use activesync and it all appeared to work well. However when I delete an email on the phone, it reappears when the phone next syncs! I cannot seem to delete an email...
I have searched around but cannot seem to find a definitive solution... So, has anyone here encountered and overcome this issue?
Thanks all
I have looked into this problem extensively and I'm afraid that the only solution ATM is to use a third party replacement. I use Enhanced Email, which though not as pretty, does exchange email really well.

I just upgraded to Black 2.5 and 1.41 Radio ROM, and so far I love it... I have been playing around with if for a couple of days, but I noticed a little problem. I have an exchange server from work that I have been using direct push, and everything syncs and downloads correctly - no problem. However, when I mark a mail read on my phone, it does not mark it read on my office computer.
On the previous WM5 ROM I was using I did not have a problem, so I am not sure if this is a common problem due to WM6...
Thanks for the great site!
Im using Black 2.5 wm 6 rom, and also with an exchange server with non of the problems you are experiencing.
Same issue for me
I am also seeing this issue with some emails not being marked as read.
Using Black 2.5 w/ radio 1.41 and syncing with Exchange 2003 sp2.
However, this problem is not consistent and somewhat random. Sometimes I have noticed that out of say 5 emails I read on my phone only 1 shows as not being read on my laptop. Other times I have read several emails(15 for example) over the course of the day on my phone and several groups of them will still show as not being read on my laptop.
At first I thought my phone was losing the http connection with Exchange, but I still receive new emails via direct push. Strange.
I did not have this issue on WM5 or Black1.2
Any ideas?
i too have had the odd email not been marked as read, but i've had the same thing with every wm5/6 rom i've installed and just got used to it
this has to due with the way direct push works. E-mail's don't get pushed back as being read until a new e-mail gets pushed to the phone...or you manually send/receive in active sync.
I tried both a manual sync and sending a test email to my exchange account. The test email came through but the emails still showed as unread.
I haven't time to really look into the issue as it did not happen consistently. One thing to note I was Buzzing on Black 2.5 when this problem occurred and I have since downgraded back to the default settings(yesterday) . I did not have this problem at all today. Will update if the problem comes back.

I have been considering purchasing my own Exchange Server 2007 and was wondering how you setup email accounts to use an alias. Is it a third party app?

No, its a pretty simple way to trick the exchange server. Hit me up over PM if you want more info.
Hello, I'm hoping someone can help.
I recently bought a HTC Desire and I'm loving it except for a big problem with my IMAP email account.
Everything worked perfectly for the first day. However the next morning I noticed I hadn't received any emails. I ended up deleting the account and starting again. No joy.. I ended up hard resetting the device and setting all back up. This time the only mail I received was what it hadn't received prior to resetting.
Now after numerous resets and support phone calls the device receives absolutely nothing yet it will send no problem. I have another account which works fine. Also the email account works fine on all other devices.
I understand the obvious question is whether I've configured the device correctly. Trust me I have.
Please can anyone suggest anything? It's almost like the Desire has cached something about my email account despite the data wipes..?
Many thanks in advance!
David
Just the same issue - "no mails"...
IMAP works perfectly here. I have one Exchange ActiveSync account and one IMAP account.
My IMAP gmail account is working perfectly here too. But I did had problem getting email notification to appear on the status bar which I manage to resolved.
I tried the imap but went back to just the gmail app as the gmail app had the emails come through much faster. I didn't find the imap and gmail worked well at all.
Tried an alternative mail client like K-9?
I'm using K-9 but I don't like it. I haven't yet found anything else that does push with IMAP though. K-9 doesn't work in the same way as other email apps for POP, which I use for another account. In fact it's unusable for me for POP on Gmail as it deletes msgs as soon as they arrive (they are not being deleted from server).

Same problem over here with IMAP failing to retrieve new emails after a certain point. I think the built in client is having difficulty with some messages - if I use another mail client to delete the next email (after the Desire stopped receiving new mail), receiving springs back into life.
I'm going to take a closer look at this. My best guess is that the HTC email client has an obscure bug relating to a mis-implementation of the IMAP protocol. For all sorts of reasons, I'd like to get the HTC client working! Perhaps there's a workaround we can implement until a bug fix is released.
In short, definitely a bug.
I agree, there is definitely a bug in there - more than one. I think I'm going to be forced to go back to good old pop3 for emails on the Desire. Even then though, the HTC mail app doesn't do push. Maybe k9 will work better with pop3 than it does with IMAP. Although neither k9 or the gmail app copy and paste do they? So I don't know what is going to be best.

I just got the DHD and am pretty stoked it has Exchange ActiveSync. My problem is that it seems to be very unstable and give "connection socket timeout" and is totally unreliable.
I've added and deleted the account twice and it starts out nicely with the Sync. Now my contacts are at 90% and keeps getting this friggin' error!..
I used HD, HD2 previously and never had these exchange sync issues.
Anyone else having these probs with Exchange ActiveSync on DHD?
Yep. Same for me.
I am trying so sync for a month now with no real success
I have tried several workarounds and third party apps (ImproveEmail, Roadsync) but none of them worked well.
I am now back to stock HTC client.
Now emails sync well but calendar is a disaster!
Calendar used to sync 10% of my appointments and was showing SSL error.
Now since I, one more time, deleted account-purged calendar-recreated my account, calendar is not syncing at all (SSL error).
And Logcat is not very helpful.
I spent days on net trying to find fixes or workarounds; many people are complaining, and there is no 'true' fix.
That pisses me off when I see that Windows mobile phone or IPhone can sync with no problem !!!
I too have the same Problem.
Am using touchdown now and its working fine...running on the trial and need to purchase it
Same as you, I had lot of sync problems with Exchange. It was completely unreliable, until I discovered Laurie's blog !
http://laur.ie/blog/2010/09/exchange-2010-sp1-sync-with-android-froyo/
I installed the Google stock 2.2 email apk (as described in the blog) and after few minutes my calendar was fully synchronized and I receive emails in push. That's great
I am not sure that would solve your issue but it is worth trying it.
(make sure to delete the HTC exchange account).
Hope this helps.
I have tried so many different things. It seems that using Moxier Mail is the only thing that seems to work. I've been going back to all the message board posts that I came across to share my solution. I hope it works for you.
Glad I'm not the only one with this problem. I find that turning the phone off for 10 minutes and then on again fixes the problem for a while, but it always comes back.
anyone found a solution to tthis yet?
I`ve tried the solution from lauries blog and it worked.
The only thing i' ve changed is that i backed up the whole rom, installed the apk and imediatly opened it.
The program isn' t as handy as the new one but atm it works.
I can confirm that the 2.2 google stock mail APK is working for me too. (solution described above)
I have 4 hotmail accounts and no pb to synchronize them (with push settings). Calendar and Contacts are OK too.
I give you the APK below. You can install it without root like any other APK.
You'll be able to uninstall it also, as the app name isn't the same as the htc mail client.
Hi,
I have been searching around and can't find the answer I'm looking for.
Can someone advise if they have managed to sync their hotmail.co.uk to their HOX (or any other Android device) specifically using the MS Hotmail mail option (which defaults to server m.hotmail.com) or via the exchange option??
Hotmail.com addresses sync ok, just can't get my UK address to work. Just to add the hotmail.co.uk mail account is succesfully added however no mails are synced. Looking at the account under sync options the sync icon is red and at the bottom there is an error which highlights something like 'experiencing difficulties at this time - please try again later'. This error appears to be constant.
I know syncing hotmail.co.uk addresses is possible via the 'other' mail account option (which defaults to POP3 settings) and also alternatively by using the MS Hotmail app but would prefer the above - just would like to know if it's possible or not.
Thanks in advance,
GW
It just start happening yesterday so its not anything to worry about yet, I have the same problem.

UPDATE - I've just stumbled across something on Microsoft Answers where one user suggests to configure the account manuallly which you can only do through the exchange option (when you select the MS Hotmail option, various fields including the server name are greyed out).
Advises to use prefixes snt-m, dub-m, bay-m or debug-m in front of .hotmail.com in the server however unfortunately none of these work for me.

Not the case for me, I've been trying to do this for over a week now.
Did this use to work then but now it doesn't?

There are on-going problems it seems, mine periodically stopped sycning several weeks ago, would be okay for a bit, then eventually never sync'd at all. Microsoft don't seem to be bothered helping people fix this.
I then started using debug-m.hotmail.com and that got it working, then seeing the same advice others have mentioned I used the letter prefix I see when I log into Hotmail on a PC browser, and it has been working since.
There also seems to be another issue related to individual accounts that can only be fixed by Microsoft, so I'm thinking there are two issues.
Try logging into Hotmail on a PC and going into your calendar, a few weeks ago I was offered to upgrade to a new calendar, I think this has the effect of moving your account to a new server, which might help kick start everything again.
All in all though it is a mess from Microsoft.

Phil

Hi Phil,
Thanks for the reply.
Can you just confirm that you actually got it working (previously) with a hotmail UK address with debug-m.hotmail.com as the server? If so I assume you setup a manual MS exchange account under the mail account options to do this?
Just loaded up MSN calendar on desktop but there was no option to upgrade or anything :-s.
I've raised a question on MS answers site, hoping someone from MS will look at it and check out my account to see if they can do anything. Other than that I guess it's just a waiting game or switch to POP3!
GW
Anyone experiencing issues with hotmail UK email addresses?
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?

Hello, I have a question regarding syncing my calendar events with notifications in my email. I have tried clicking all the buttons in my settings re mail accounts and there is only sporadic notifications. Usually not! I want to sync 24 hr notices to my isp mail account rather than my Google Mail account. I can't sync to either right now. I know it is possible, because, occasionally right out of the blue I will get one......strange. If I put in test events, none come through. I have no problem with doing this with my Asus tablet. Would anyone have any suggestions? Thank you for any help. BILL
Gee---I can't believe this question has been here this long, with this many people viewing it, and no one has thoughts, or solutions. Must be time to try another forum.
