Built in exchange support or not?

Just saw a disturbing post and I wanted to get some confirmation from those who own the phone.
I saw in a comment on a review of this phone that it doesn't support Ms exchange for email or calendar. I absolutely news push email and calendar for my business. Can anyone confirm if this is true or not?

I am using MS exchange on my SGSII with no issues. Not sure where you read that, but it is totally false. Push email, calendar and contacts all work with exchange.

Thanks. Awesome news

No issues on my side. This phone activates exchange the same way my last 4 android phones have. No issues at all as far as the phone side goes. Also if you have root you can replace the TW email.apk with the stock Gingerbread one. I did this just because I like the aosp email better.

The builtin mail app works fine with my exchange server. I use Touchdown because I like the interface better though...
One thing that you might not be aware of if you're using Exchange 2010 for your mail server is that there is a limit to the number of devices you can connect to an account. You can manage connected devices in OWA so login there and delete any old devices...
One other thing that my exchange server does when I connect the phone to it is to push security settings to my phone. A popup appears on the phone that I have to accept in order to sync mail. If I don't, I don't get anything...
Finally, you could try touchdown and if it works but the built in mail app doesn't then I'd recommend the purchase. It's still better than the improved built in version IMHO

Robin. Another quick question. Can you send and accept calendar invites for exchange from the native calendar apply? That's another big one for me. I am aware of touchdown and even own the license but I am a minimalist and if I don't have to install an app that's services are already present I wont. Thank you in advance.

Exchange

Hi,
I'm planning on buying Galaxy Nexus but since I've never had pure Google phone I don't know does it have a separate email app (except Gmail) with Exchange support. Anyone care to enlighten me?
Thanks

The email app supports Exchange ActiveSync. Exchange administrators can also do things like remote wipe of android phones.

Most versions of android don't support HTML email on exchange 2003. Touchdown and iOS do so it is possible. Lets hope ICS supports HTML exchange email on that server.

I use Enhanced Email. It lets me bypass my works security requirements. No PIN and no remote wipe.

Does this definitely work on Glaxy Nexus? I thought it was built for older Android versions?

It doesn't work yet on ICS, but the developer has it working already, he just hasn't released the update yet. I downloaded the trial version, but it force closes.
I found the link for the trial and the change login his support forum (link below)

Calendar does sync in tablet fwiw

The standard email client on the Galaxy Nexus works just fine with exchange, including calendar sync and html mail.

Clarification: Enhanced Email does not bypass all security, just the pin lock requirement.

My corporate IT is not granted Admin Remote Wipe and other lock and restrictions overrides when using EE

Am I just not seeing it? Can you extend the time before your screen locks? Not the display timeout. I have to input my pin every single time I unlock my phone.

ICS is the first version of Android to be fully Exchange ActiveSync compliant. All this means it is supports every security and remote management features of Exchange 2010. (EAS 14.1)

Does anyone get notification for native exchange email on ICS?
I've setup folders under my Inbox, and I don't get any notification when email arrives. I've setup individual sync option on multiple folders.
This was working fine on My N1 running CM7 which is Gingerbread

The stock email app works fine with exchange for me

Camera disabled? False policy info?
Our Exchange Admin can't figure this one out.. He does NOT have any policy to disable camera's yet at initial account creation to our ActiveSync server it tries to push a security profile to turn off camera's and set a bunch of other stuff that our Admin swears is not being set. He even gave me remote control of our Exchange server to verify I was on a default policy and the default policy had none of these restrictions.
REALLY odd - as Touchdown is just seeing the policy he has set and not trying to set other items. Having to use Touchdown now - though now the Touchdown HD beta supports ICS now. Finding their push to be less battery intensive than the built in app when I used it for 2 days (with my camera disabled to actually get to test it)

Go to settings security, automatically lock and change to whatever max is allowed by the exchange security settings...

Sorry for a stupid question.
Is it possible to install active sync on my work notebook (WinXP) and sync it with my GNex via cable? Similar to what I was used with my Window phone 2 years ago.
I've been using touchdown for some while and it synced via our outlook web access, which has been disabled now. So I am trying to figure out a way to sync calender and tasks again. I don't care about Emails.
we are not allowed to install google sync (or w/e it is called). they even took our admin rights on our working notebooks. MS Active Sync, however, is a approved software which could be installed by our IT.
Any ideas/thoughts? thx

Stock mail.app does not support "search" option for exchange mails...

[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.

Galaxy Nexus and PUSH EMAIL.

As title.
Where is the push email support for non gmail account?

There was never support for IMAP push and still isn't. Seems Google isn't particularly interested in changing that.

please understand what we are talking about.

Set your other account to forward to a gmail account. You can even set the Gmail account to reply from the "professional" account. Or set up a Google Apps account with your business domain.

If it's exchange you're looking for, touchdown supports push. I've been using it for years it works well.
What type of account is this?

i love Touchdown exchange for my work email. Probably the best part is the pin required by my company's security isnt applied to the whole device, I only have to enter the PIN to open the email application. Id hate to have to enter PIN just to send a text message.

I'm disappointed that Gmail doesn't have push using the email app. There's push support on the iPhone, so why not on a native Google device?

The AOSP email app has support for exchange.

I just got my Galaxy Nexus and was hoping that this would be something that ICS would resolve. My single biggest gripe with Android is lack of native PUSH email notifications for non-Gmail email accounts.
I shouldn't have to forward emails to my gmail account for this to work. That is not a solution, but merely a half-crack workaround.
I don't have the ability to use Google apps with my work email account.
I don't have an Exchange account, just an IMAP account. So it sounds like my only options are to get one of the shotty email clients in the app market or move to iPhone that supports this natively. I love android, this is just one of those things that's a priority for me. :-/

Kaiten Mail
Check out Kaiten Mail. Based off K9 email, but I think it works better, and works great on tablets too.

You can't just add "push", the email service needs to support it.
"Push" email is just a descriptor, it's not an actual implementation of anything specific.

The iPhone doesn't support PUSH (aka IMAP IDLE) for IMAP email servers. I'm positive it doesn't do it for the native email (my wife has an iPhone), can't say if there's an email client app that supports, but I want to say no since iOS will kill any background running app like that.
Get K9 mail for Android, I used it a lot a couple years ago via IMAP (before switching to Gmail full time), worked great for instant notifications.

the email must support push email (IMAP idle) but the client must support that too.
my own server supports IMAP idle, I use the push service on every phone but it does not work on my galaxy nexus.
I must admit that android is only a soap bubble, you can't say that android is an advanced OS when it lacks the basic feature of feature phones.

I could've sworn I had a stock Email app on my Droid Charge at one point that was push. It was awesome. There has to be a stock or AOSP Email app apk out there somewhere that we can use.

Galaxy Sll email app has it...maybe someone can port it.

[Q] Cannot set up Exchange mail sync

I just got my Gnex. It updated to Android 4.04. I try to set up email with my office Exchange account and it fails. The error message says "you don't have permission to sync with this server"
I'm using the same email exchange log in infromation as I have used on my Xoom. No problems there.
I tired using Touchdown and had the same results.
Any ideas?
Thanks

sounds like the server itself is rejecting your login.
maybe the company only allows one mobile device with your credentials?
i would remove exchange from your xoom and then try. if it allows you to connect then, there's your answer

I think that is unlikely.. I had a moto dinc syncing fine and upgraded to the nexus.
The dinc and zoom synced fine in parallel.. The dinc is now turned off.

It looks like the server is rejecting your login however.

reminds me of an old girlfriend......

There's an option to trigger the security certificates or something - forgot the exact wording, but when I tapped that, I could get into my office Exchange server.
Of course, I like to keep my office things in the office so I quickly disabled the email app.

Ya, there are two dialog boxes:
User secure connection (SSL)
Accept all SSL certificates
My Xoom account shows the first checked. The second not.
Using the same configuration - I get the message that I don't have permission to sync with the server.
When I check the Accept all SSL certificates - I get the same message.

When I go through the setup on my Xoom after completing the inputs - I get the following message:
'This server requires that you allow it to remotely control some security features of your Android device. Do you want to finish setting up this account?'
Is there something about ICS 4.04 running on the Gnex that would pose a problem with this security handshake?
I'm running an ICS 4.04 Cyanogen Mod nightly on my Xoom. I had Gingerbread on my Dinc before I switched to the Gnex. The email exchange sync worked fine on the Dinc.

When I have time I may root and load a custom ROM on it and see if that makes a difference. Although I'd prefer to stay stock for a while - just to get used to the thing.
If anyone has insight into the security issues - I'd appreciate hearing it. A quick Google search of issues relating to Exchange sync shows that there are issues with the Gnex and Exchange handshake. Some people have had to encrypt their phone to get it to work?!?
Certainly this must have been worked out by someone...
Thanks for any suggestions

That's a common message to see depending on the security policies your Exchange Server administrator has established. Among other things, for example, your company probably requires the ability to do a remote wipe of your handset's email should the account be compromised, your device be reported stolen, or you quit or be fired.
Perfectly normal. My company does this as well, and it works beautifully with my Galaxy Nexus...no device encryption needed, and I'm running ICS 4.0.4 IMM76K - one Exchange Server account via the stock email client, and one GMail account via that stock app. All works beautifully.
