Hello, my company uses Domino Mail Server and has set up Notes Traveler to sync with mobiles. Is there any way to use the Desire's integrated ActiveSync with this? When I configure the Server, after the screen that lets me choose what to sync (Email, calendar, contacts) I get an Error message that tells me to try again later. Is there any way to use this, Nitrodesk Touchdown works, but I hate how it only shows the calendar and mails within the app and not in the Phones calendar.
Thanks for your help!

Looks like traveler for Android is close:
"IBM June 17 released the beta version of its free Lotus Notes Traveler for Android application to let Lotus Notes customers access e-mail, calendar and contacts from an Android 2.0 or later device. The app will work for the Android 2.1-based Motorola Droid, Nexus One, HTC Droid Incredible and HTC Evo 4G. IBM also said its next version of Lotus Connections social software will support Android"

Unfortunately my work uses Notes as well, and I have a Desire. Can anybody get hold of this beta?
not that easy

I was looking for it to but i found out that the server u connect to have to run a beta to for the android beta to work, and have to have a IBM login to bee able to sign up for the beta.
I wont be able to get m company to run a beta server just for me so i have to wait until i can use my deisre insteed of my "work phone"
Yeah I just read that too. There are about 5 Desire users at my work, so hopefully we might see it soon.

Heh. I'm sensing no. We have 800 people working in our location, and about 6 of us have a Desire. There's no way a corporation is going to put everyone through a beta program for the benefit of 0.2% of their employees (and thank God for that, seeing how I do tech support and I'd have to be the one to clean up the mess!)
Sorry
We have used Commontime software for some years with Notes - works well on Android, Windows Mobile, Symbian.
http://www.commontime.com/
We have the beta traveler server installed (separate from our IBM iseries domino server) and it works OK. It's still a separate app for calendar and mail. Nitrodesk has many more features and is preferred by our beta testers (IT staff).
Hmm they have just updated to 8.5.2.0 on the traveler server at work.
Calendar and contacts and mail are fully integrated with my Android (htc desire)
I have no traveler client... one problem though... when opening mail, the email client crashes.... everything else works. I can list their mails and mapps but not open any mail.

Hi,
I have already tested few mail app ( the stock one, the message 1.0.0024 coming from HTC I think and touchdown)
I am looking for a free app which would be able to :
* retrieve mail from an exchange server, Touchdown and message are good . The stock app give me error message half of the time.
* set an automatic synchronisation on the inbox and on a selected lists of subfolder. Touchdown is ggod for that
* handle the inbox tree in a non totally stupid way ( stock app is ordering by name !!! and I can't figure out the order from message 1.0.0024 ... maybe by date of creation or depending on the age of the captain). Touchdown is good for that
* display correctly the html mail with array ( only touchdown does it even if it doesn't allow to reply to nice html mail .... it will put the mail in attachment !!)
* be quick. Touchdown is extremely slow. Maybe it has to do with the lag of the SGSbut it's definitely slower than the 2 other app ( but better looking)
* nice to have : handle also different mail account like hotmail
For the moment, Touchdown is the best choice but I can use everyday a mail app which can take 20 sec to open a mail and an other 20 to delete it.
Any other idea ?
Thanks
try k-9 mail
Thanks for your post ... it makes me try one more time to setup K9 with exchange
And it seems to work.
At least I have some mail and part of my folder.
will check out their wiki to see how to configure the folder. It seems quite complicated but quite flexible.
For information I had a wrong webdav patch before
Ok so I sepnt at least an hour on the wiki and I can;t find why I can't see any subfolder !
I can see the inbox, the sent item, the contact, the calendar, the spam ... but no subfolder onf the inbox
Any idea ??
Thanks
i just read a bunch of reviews on it but no real "how-to", I'm buying my Samsung Vibrant tomorrow and I plan to get this app so I'll play around with it and see if I can get it setup right
Isnt K9 taking too much space and that too on the internal mem. needs an sd storage properties for mails/data.
Is there an app which does so.

Hi!
I would recommend Improved Email by mtwebster, I do believe it will be to your satisfaction, works with all kind of email, with it you could also accept/decline meeting invites from exchange, been using it for some time now and I'm very happy with it.
All other email apps I tried had problem with at least on of the account types; pop3, imap, gmail or exchange but not this one.

I am testing as well... i want to access company mails mainly (ok, contacts and calendar would be great too, but it's not essential) and three imap accounts. What i have tried so far:
- stock: works, but forces me to enter a security code (triggered from exchange server admin). Besides that, the stock app doesn't have any settings to change preferences on imap servers (folder location, etc.), therefore a no-go.
- k-9: i am using k-9 mail for all my imap accounts, works like a charm, i can point to the correct folders (for sent mails, spam, etc.), but i can't get exchange to work, although i tried various options from their wiki.
- touchdown: i tried this app as well, works very well. As i am using exchange 2007, it shows only new and unread mail, no old mail. Besides that and the fact that it seems to be rather slow (and expensive for this poor performance), it would be my first choice.
Any other suggestions (or hints, how to get k-9 exchange work or touchdown faster) would be really appreciated.
All the best,
ww
P.S. i9000 froyo jpo.
I am using moxier mail. A bit expensive bit does the job. I mainly bought it to have access to my company GAL. It syncs mails, calendar, contacts and tasks but not notes.

I tried improved email. It's pretty good except that the email I sent via it is in 1 long line when viewed in the outlook client.
I don't know what you are doing but the stock email app has none of the problems you describe with outlook.
- I have never had an error downloading a message. I use Push for delivery. (other options have battery drain issues), so you don't have to "schedule" a sync since it is always in sync
- Messages are sorted in recieved order for me
- Images in HTML emails I have no issue with
In short - I think the stock email app works perfect with outlook, in fact it is better than the Microsoft Outlook mobile I used to have in WM 6.5.

For my country, no version is available - beta versions seem to be very buggy. I am testing moxier right now - looks quite nice for the first hours...
Okay, it is just for exchange, but it is working fast and almost without any errors - for all other mail accounts i am still using k-9.
Allt the best,

You forgot the new security settings (which means, if your exchange admin turns on the "use a pin to secure your phone" feature). After i tried the stock mail app of froyo, i had to turn pin code on screen lock on. Besides that, the system never managed to sync more than 100 contacts - therefore the stock app personally is a no-go.
All the best,

Dunno why but for some reasons, the stock email app will FC when opening certain emails, especially those with alot of frames.
On my side I use touchdown (and old version that i "found" ;-) on the net) because I need to have access to the GAL.
Had no issue with it except that it is slow.
If the stock mail app would have supported GAL i would not really had looked other mail app.
Doing so, if a free app would support GAL i would switch!
For some reason I've never really liked the gmail app.. for the past year I've been using k9 email but I'm looking to switch it up. Anyone have good recommendations?

Mail Droid has served me well. Decently robust and handles imap nicely.
Recently I came across aqua mail. This is an amazing app that I bought the very next day after using it for a day. (u don't need to buy it though it's fully functional without that).
Do give it a try, you'll love the awesome features in it.

My vote for Aqua Mail as well... HOWEVER, there is no great email client.
Installed aqua mail for about 2 mins until I saw it had no pinch to zoom feature. That alone wouldn't be so bad, but when HTML emails come through huge and you can't resize them to see without scrolling...that was a deal breaker. Gmail app works just fine for me
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 2
I found Aqua mail had some formatting issues on some email. The pictures would be Xed out or something. Plus it has no ability to connect Exchange accounts. I changed my email to using Gapps For Your Domain as per someone on here saying it was great and it is, only it's exchange email. Most free ones don't work with exchange so I'm back to default and Gmail. I would be totally willing to pay $3 to $5 for an awesome email client but there is no way I'm paying $20. There's two real good ones for $20 I believe.
check out Emoze
I had issues with weird behavior of the push and sync and I installed Emoze Push client which gives me the ability to push any type of email ,obviously Exchange and IMAP but even POP3 which is very limited email protocol.
I've done benchmarks with the stock ICS email client and with several third party clients like Touchdown, Moxier, K9 and I find that Emoze has the advantage in almost every aspect.
Push notification is stable and fast ,less than 60 sec.
Battery consumption is low ,I’m able to work in push mode without charging for 22 hours.
I’m quite a heavy email user so it was kind of a surprise to me because I used to have 6-8 hours max with only one account working in push.
I have 5 email accounts which is about 100-200 email per day so no kidding ,this one really improved my life ,I’m less paranoid about my battery.
Other features which are quit useful are the security options that allows you to find the device location by SMS or email
and also to remote wipe or block by SMS.
This is cool because you don’t need PC connected to the internet to get the job done ,you can simply send SMS to your phone number to activate the security process.
AquaMail - definitely!!

If you don't need exchange, AquaMail is definitely my recommendation. Also highly recommended buying the Pro key. The developer is FANTASTIC about implementing good suggestions as well as fixing reported bugs. Like you, I've been using K9 for quite some time and while I still have it installed and I keep updating the development versions, - and yes, I have to admit it's getting better and better - I never found reasons to ever go back to K9. AquaMail offers (common sense) options that K9 is still lacking: full screen - especially useful in landscape mode, far superior selection options as far as the email lists, much better menu icons selection & options, optimizations for low traffic data are merely a few examples of why you should try it. Once getting used to the rather extensive settings and customize it per your liking, you may also find your own reasons to stay with AquaMail. :good:
P.S AquaMail has its own page and forum - very informative and if you feel like contributing with suggestions or bugs, this is the place. Also here I found out that there were plans to eventually implement the exchange, however, Google's recent announcement to stop supporting exchange might change that.
Never experienced any pictures formatting issues or any other issues.
Besides an Xposed mod, which we can't do yet, is there another way to bypass it? Maybe even a different app to setup the exchange account for email? IDK. I hate the restrictions tho lol.

Is this a corporate account? If so I recommend accepting the restrictions and security. If it's your personal account then I know there was an app I used on my S7 that could bypass it I just can't remember the name (not helpful I know).
There's an app called Nine that can apply the security policy at the app level instead of the entire device. It's a paid app and somewhat expensive, I've been using it for years and it works really well.

The app Mailwise does what you are looking for, and it's not too bad of a mail app, either.
I had the same issue, our IT people required remote wipe ability, and obscenely long password requirements just to unlock the screen.

I've been using Nine since my company moved us to a hosted exchange. Don't remember how much it cost me, but definitely worth looking into.
I second the usage of mailwise. it's a pretty good mail application generally speaking..
Mailwise for me too. http://mail-wise.com/faq/#bypass
Oh man, I'm in the same boat. The Exchange security settings for one of my client email accounts is obnoxious. If I enable the account on my phone it will no longer let me use a swipe pattern or pin to unlock the phone. It only lets me use a password. The password also has to have at least four digits, one #, and at least one capital letter. It's absolutely ridiculous. Fingerprint still works, at least. But that's annoying when my phone is on my desk.
So I don't even bother enabling that exchange account on my phone. Instead, I discovered Newton Mail (play store link) a few months back. This has become my go-to email/calendar solution on both my phone and new Windows 10 machine. It's a fantastic email/calendar app that's extremely fast and has material design for Android and fluent design for Windows 10, so it flows really well with both platforms.
The only downside to this is I can't rely on Google calendar on my phone since it won't show meetings/reminders for this Exchange account, since I refuse to enable it within the system. But I've learned to use the calendar built into Newton Mail, which is actually pretty excellent. It even works with the new Google widget for the Pixel 2/2 XL. The widget updates with the upcoming event just like it would with Google Calendar. And clicking the event opens up that specific event in Newton.
I highly recommend giving Newton a try. Especially if you also use a Windows 10 machine.
Thanks for the replies everyone! I'll try some of these suggestions, much appreciated! For the users that have nine, does the calendar show in Google calendar or do you have to go into that app to see it?

Nine is just an email client (like Newton Mail). It doesn't communicate with the Google Calendar app on your phone. It has its own calendar baked in.

Not true. All meetings setup on the corporate side get thrown in to my Google calendar. I actually had to turn off notifications from Nine because I was getting double from Google Calendar.

Just installed Nine to handle my exchange account. It immediately started syncing to the Google calendar. So happy to be able to use Google Calendar again, now that I can truly see all my events in it.
Nine is the best.
If it is just for the ActiveSync policies, the Exchained app can bypass those and let you keep using gmail.
any update on this guys?

Do you have any issues such as a duplicate icon?
This question is as old as Android..
I think I have been on all of them, free and paid. There isn't one that has no issues. All of them has great features. Some of them have better security, and the bottom line is, they are all not bad.
Now days, surprisingly, I'm back to the Samsung built in email app. Even my Gmail is on it ..

BlueMail is the best Gmail replacement will never go back
I went from MailDroid (pro) over to Outlook. I loved maildroid, but the UI is/was very overdue for an update. Outlook has been a great replacement, and it integrates well with my PCs.
I'm using Spike email. It's very different. You can have the email format appear as a text thread. Also, I really love the oled black theme. Before this, I used Spark. And before that I enjoyed Bluemail.
I use Bluemail.
I have about 7 different email addresses and some are not Gmail accounts.
Bluemail has an export accounts option so when I switch devices I don't have to re enter all the addresses on the new phone.
Aquamail for me too

This! Nine is by far the best and most flexible email app out there. Same here btw, just a happy user ?
I'm using Fairmail, it comes with very good privacy roles and features and has cool features.
I tried Spark when it came out bit went back to Gmail. Then saw Spark made some updates and went back to it and I don't think I will use another app again. Now that it has dark mode and you can create folders. It is the closest thing to Inbox (RIP).
