[Q] Galaxy Nexus data plans - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I am looking at the data plans from Verizon with the double data and I want the 4GB plan for $30. The plan says Personal Email only. Does that mean it won't let me use my company's ActiveSync email? Or does that mean they give you an email address for personal use only? I don't need any of their email I just want my corporate email and my Gmail.

You're free to use any email you want that Android or its apps support including exchange.

My company uses VPN and it syncs perfectly. My GN gets the email before my BB does. By the way you can get unlimited data thru Verizon. Look it up online. Something about calling in for unlimited hot spot then goin to their website cancel it and the unlimited sticks.
SIDE NOTE: If your company uses VPN you will have to talk to your company's IT guy to get it set up. There is codes you will need.

mail2web - Push email showing my personal email address

Hi I've just upgraded to WM6 on an Hermes and have just tried the mail2web free service. However when I send emails it shows up as comming from [email protected] (I have activated email forwarding from my personal email address). Is there anyway to show my personal email address that with the free account? or does one need to have the $5 per month account?
Thanks!
You must have a paid account to show your own address in the From: field.
Anybody know what paid service package in mail2web can change the "reply to" as my personal email address?

Personal Exchange is what you want.
If you go into your account options, you will se where you can upgrade right there.
I tried it, and it worked fine. I actually went back to the free version, because my emails to my co-workers always bounced back since the alias wasn't from the work server (we're on a POP3 mail system).
it's something like $3 or $5 a month.
BTW if you have any problems, just email their support staff. I get great service, and within a few hours, actually.

Exchange mail services (free / trial accounts available) includes push / aliases

hey guys from Artemis forum!
had started this service out to TYTN users and figured i should spread the news around to some of the other boards. if you guys are looking for push email, please get in touch here's what i posted in the tytn forum:
I'm now offering exchange mailboxes to users (subscription based service). right now i see two, one by austindkelly in the wizard forum (he's disappeared for over a month and looks like he doens't offer his service any more) and one by denial in the kaiser section ($5/month). I thought I'd offer up a similar service starting with the hermes group (cheaper of course) with a few extra tidbits of joy...
- supports iphone exchange services, saves a heck of money over apple's mobileme service!
- outlook web access (with the advanced interface)
- 1gb quota
- both SSL as well as standard port options
- *IMAP access* - you don't even need outlook, syncs flawlessly with your phone.
- *MAPI* outlook access - hook up your outlook on your PC to sync with my service which in turn syncs with your phone. no plugging in ever needed!
- alias included (get your own email)
- changing your password through outlook web access (one-way non-reversible encryption).
I figured it's a bit of an overkill having my own exchange server that's serving a single account (i.e. mine). so why not open it up!
Price is $10 for 3 months, $19 for 6 months.
Please PM me if you're interested... I'll probably set up your account within 12 hours (probably less).
And yes, will give you unused credit money back etc etc if you're unsatisfied for whatever reason. I'm really not in this for the money, it's more to utilize something I spent hours building up, plus to cover the costs of my internet / server hardware.
And, as usual, if you need any files hosted for xda-developers just let me know, i'm already hosting over 40 ROM images and serving 5-6gb/day in ROMs from the wiki!
cheers!
free accounts:
will provide 10 rotating free accounts at any given time for test purposes, will base it off of usage. so if you use the free account, i'll keep it up indefinitely, if not then account will be removed after 14 days and given to the next person in line.
Free accounts do not have MAPI access, have 50mb storage, have no aliases either.
Depending on utilization I may increase this 10 free account limit.
few people are asking about synching from multiple sources...
from my understanding i can only give you one alias for your accounts, which means you can't select your "from." however you're free to forward as many accounts as you wish to the account i create for you, but you can only send from one "alias."
another multi-synching thing people are asking is whether you can sync calendar with your desktop and email with my service. sure!! its best that way in fact - that's what i do. i have my outlook on my desktop which has my calendar, contacts, and only sync my email via push on exchange to my server... you can even take this a step further and set up IMAP access so what you see in your email client is the same as what you'll see in your pocket outlook... if you delete from your desktop, whoosh it disappears from your PDA too
mail2web.com offer free exchange with push and 1gb limits. Been using them for a year now and there pretty good. You can also enable their email aggregator. Thisis where it picks up pop3 mail from your other mail accounts into the one.
They also offer a subscription if you want some enhanced services but it is more than yours. Used to be $2 but they more than doubled the price Not so bad for me though as Im in the UK and the exchange rate is good but still, a huge leap.

i used mail2web for a couple of weeks when i first got my phone their free service, however, does not support aliasing and I didn't want that. so my options were to either pay $5 a month or just set up my own server. i of course went for the latter!
the aggregator is an unnecessary feature if you ask me. any email provider that allows pop access would also allow forwarding access. forwarding would just be much much faster (i.e. instant) versus pop where you have to tell the aggregator to download email every x minutes.
but yeah, anyway, choice is always a good thing
MAPI (i.e. desktop outlook) access is now enabled
still plenty of resources to use up so drop me a line if interested!
going to take the server down for about 15-20 minutes this afternoon for a quick reboot and offline backup. planning for 3:00pm GMT. please be patient, hopefully it should be done much much faster!
Chamelion
Have you got any free accounts left ?
Also - I don't think that my ISP actually supports email forwarding (BTYahoo/BTInternet) ... so does you support email collection yet ?
** Edit - well, just for a change it appears that I'm wrong. They do support email forwarding ! Must be a new feature
Cheers
Mark
hey mark,
can set you up with a free trial account, shoot me a PM with desired username
i don't support email collection, but a workaroudn is have a gmail account pull mail via pop and forward everything to my server...
Just a note of thanks
I've been using Chamelion's mail service for about a month now...
I have an exchange server for my work mail, but just needed a fast, clean IMAP server, with no ads and resonable storage. I also get no mobile signal at home, so connect over wifi in the house, and push email rewuires a GPRS connection to work.
I have my mail polled by my device every 10 minutes, and also have an IMAP account set up on my Outlook on my work system, so I have a consolidated personal email account at Chamelion's servers. I've forwarded my personal domain mail to the server, and created cname records on my personal DNS for imap.mydomain.com and smtp.mydomain.com to go to chamelion's, so my mail setup looks totally like it's my own server!
RECOMMENDED TO EVERYONE!

appreciate the positive review quite a setup you got going there, amazing how much you can pull off if you know what you're doing!!
Quick update regarding update in the server!
I know I've had some VERY avoidable downtimes this past few months. Because this is running on a laptop it has been unplugged from the power / ethernet while its been moved.
however good news! I've just purchased a replacement - a nice server
Specs - dual core AMD 5600+ with 2 gb RAM, 820gb storage (for those attachments ).
i'll do the switchover soon as i get the machine, should hopefully take 10-15 minutes as i just need to image the drive across.
once i get the machine i'll push up the trial accounts to 15 or 20 so if you're interested i'll post here when the migration is done and you can drop me a note
cheers!
been getting a few PMs recently about whether i still offer this (maybe its the iphone crowd finding a cheaper alternative to apple's crazy crap service!).
yes i do and i think users can attest to the fact that since the upgrade to the new server been up and running at 100% since june!
drop me a PM if any of you need service. and yes, it is compatible with the iphone - i use it on my iphone too.
quick note - yes there was a 3 hour outage between 5am and 8ish am on saturday; sorry about that. seems my ISP went down, given how short the outage was and how this was the first one in god knows how long i didn't bother spending 1/2 an hour on the phone with them figuring out what the issue was will chase it up if it happens again though!
can someone who has successfully set up outlook 07 with my service PM me with the settings they've used? i need to get some instructions on my site on how to do it, and i don't use exchange 07 myself...
thanks!
UPDATE Now offering Exchange 2010 accounts - fully compatible with latest outlook, html email etc!

Sorry, Newbie question... IM services

Is there a way to use MSN, AOL, Yahoo messagers using the unlimited messaging plan? The play says it allows it, but the Dash (6.1 upgraded) only wants to do it over data (wifi or data plan). I know normal phones have the messager apps that work over text plan.
Thank You.
Sorry, another question
For some reason I am unable to send MMS to email addresses. The keyboard seems locked to numbers. Is there any way around this or another MMS client I can use for sending?
Edit:
Found a work around, you can select an email address from your contacts and send that way. Odd.

In response to your first question, I think those apps are very operator specific because in most cases the operator has to have a gateway for managing SMS to the IM server.
There is (I think in the Wiki) a version of a messenger utility that uses SMS for T-Mobile USA but presumably the phone number to send the messages to is hard-coded so unless you can change it, it's probably fairly useless.

[Q] .gov work email sync with EVO directly without forwarding

Anyone know of a way to sync a government email account directly to the EVO...I set up a separate gmail where it gets forwarded to but figured this has to be possible somehow... the managers and higher ups have theirs synced with a blackberry....
Do you have OWA access?
What that means is let's say you're at my house and you want to check your email from your job, can you go to my computer and go to a special website to access your work email?
Do you have to connect through VPN (Virtual Private Network)?
If the answer is YES to the first question then you can set it up for your phone through Exchange. Now you wouldn't be able to set it up if your employer has a Blackberry Server because that would mean you can only do it via a BB or WM device with Blackberry Connect software. If your employer uses an Exchange server you can have them help you set it up. You have to verify that it's ok for you to have your email going through your phone because many employers have strict policies regarding access levels of employees.
There is a website I can go to when I'm on a network computer to access the email... I've tried Exchange and got nothing

Ok when you say "networked computer" are you talking about your work intranet or any computer that has web access.
If the answer is the second one you want to basically find out the server address. You can view your server address by going into Microsoft Outlook (if you use that at work) and going into Tools-Account Settings-Clicking on the account and hitting Change. If you can't find it in there you can have a fellow BB user log into their BIS Blackberry login and use the server address that they have configured online if they have their email setup as IMAP or POP. If they are on AT&T they can go to: bis.na.blackberry.com but every carrier has their own website.
You just just mirror the incoming server address (as long as you guys are on the same server) and set it up through your phone.
Put in your Email & Password. The domain is usually your work email address (without the slashes and symbols) and the server would be that server address you need to find. You also want to check if your server requires SSL or not.

As a fellow government employee, if you want to keep you job, stop posting this now. Blackberries are secure and have a special server connection, you cannot sync via mobile with any other phone in most gov departments. If you do one of these workarounds and get caught in a post-wikileaks environment good luck to ya...
Call up the IT admins and just ask them what the ActiveSync settings are. Ta-da!

I honestly doubt an employee getting emails to his phone that there's a Christmas party on Tuesday with a Secret Santa event is very Wikileaks-worthy. Quit being so over-reactive like Lieberman. If he was actually doing anything secure, he'd know better, and would have a Blackberry.

Activesync is usually disabled. Somebody got fired for improper thumbdrive usage last week. The rule has been on the book for a while, ignored until now. We were all given an extra warning after that at my location. Believe me I have nothing personal in this.

[Q] How to get access to corporate directory on GN

Hi,
I just switched from Desire to Galaxy Nexus and I'm desesperatly looking for the way to get access to the corporate directory (I have configured the Exchange account and sync okay emails, contacts and calendar).
Anyone found the way to get this?
Thank you.
Global address list? When I start typing a name in a new email it pops up matches from the list
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
I'd love to know where to find the settings for my work email address. They make us use outlook web access.
I use Corporate Addressbook. Haven't tested if it works on the Galaxy Nexus though.
I use touchdown exchange. So much better than any built in exchange. Worth the money plus my company's security requirements are only applied to the app. I don't need a password just to get into the phone. Global address book works great.

I use Enhanced Email. It automatically detects my Exchange server settings when i add my email account. That's where i got the correct settings for Corporate Addressbook.
I was after the access to the full set of info from the directory (i.e. phone numbers etc... on top of email address). I understand that this could be simply not part of "naked" android?
It then must have been from the htc contacts app on the desire, then? Not always easy to tell...
Now, what would be great would be something that integrates in the ics people app. Any hope?
I did use touchdown for a while but felt better with HTC email client...
Thanks for all the quick answers.
Hi,
I just found out that People app is now looking from corp directory. Anyone else is seeing that?
This is very good.
