After trying various email options with my Desire, using Exchange ActiveSync protocol between Gmail and the standard mail app seems the best of several poor options. It isn't working quite as I expected though. It seems to be similar to IMAP in the way it displays the correct emails in various folders as a copy of what's in gmail on the web. However, it only copies folder contents that I've changed by other means (PC or webmail). If I move, create or delete emails using the mail app, that isn't then reflected in my account in the web.
Is this just the way it is supposed to be or should it work the same as IMAP, and if so, why isn't it? Any suggestions appreciated.

I use exchange with the HTC Mail application with my Google account as well. When I move or delete messages, they get deleted on gmail.com in 2-3 seconds.
Maybe something is wrong with your configuration, you sure you have it on push? Mail app -> Settings -> Send/Receive -> Push

Thanks for replying. I'm glad it works ok for you, as it gives me some hope.
Yes I do have it set to push. I also have the domain set to Google and my username set as my email address, and SSL is on.
Are you in the UK? I am, and my email address is therefore googlemail rather than gmail, so I'm wondering if my login details should be also. I'll give that a go now and see if it makes any difference.
[Edit] I've tried changing the domain of my username to gmail instead of googlemail, but it wouldn't create the account. So I'm stuck with what else to try.
Well somehow it now works fine. The only difference is that my email address (not my username) now has the gmail domain and not googlemail. I had to re-create the account to change the settings, so either there was something wrong that resolved itself when I did that, or the difference in the email address makes a difference.
Hopefully that may help someone else.
Well now it isn't working again. Is nobody else having problems with their Desire and Google Exchange?
Here are my settings, and as I said works perfectly on my unbranded desire.
Email address: *******@gmail.com
Server address: m.google.com
Domain: google.com
username: *******gmail.com
CHECKED - This server requires SSL
In my account sync settings I'm syncing MAIL + Calendar.
Just for the record, I'm not using a task killer, which could possibly interfere?

It gave me an error when I tried to set my username to @gmail - Probably because I'm in the UK where Googlemail is used rather than gmail. Although if you wrote to me using @gmail, I'd still get it. So it's all a bit confusing. Besides, it did all work yesterday. I don't have the domain set the same as you, I just have "google" as I read elsewhere that was correct, even though that alone isn't actually a domain.
I wish I could edit these settings without deleting then re-creating the account, but there doesn't seem to be a way to. I'll do that again though to match your settings, if it lets me.
I'm not using a task killer by the way.
Tried using my Googlemaill account and says it can't do it - bit annoying but I'm happy with the gmail app tbh, just thought I'd try it out!

If you use @gmail as your username, it'll probably 'half' work. Mine is back up but it still isn't working properly. I'm not sure if it's better than using the Google mail app or not now, as I've gone between that and the mail app and K-9 so many times now, I forget what was wrong with each one. LOL. I think one of the major issues with the Gmail app is lack of copy/paste.
I rarely send email, I just have it to receive and then use my PC to get any attachments if needed...I'll stick with it for now!
I've found something similar. If I delete an e-mail on Webmail or IMAP (using Windows Live Mail) it doesn't disappear on the HTC Mail App (using Gmail Exchange ActiveSync). I have to delete it manually again. I've started a thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=676890
Which is odd as both the native Gmail App and IMAP (using the same HTC Mail App) do.

You can, just go to "More" and then "Settings" in the HTC Mail App or click on Exchange in "Accounts and Sync". You can change it all there, except for the domain (oddly that seems to be only available when you first create the account). Which incidentally, Google say you should leave it blank:

This is the Windows Mobile instructions but Google intend you use this feature primarily on Windows Mobile handhelds.

work great for me. Thanks a ton
I'm using gmail with one major gmail account plus few pop3 accounts.while using gmail at web I can chose which account name use for send out emails.i need sometimes to answer from another account name while still using one gmail login.
At android gmail application I cannot find such feature as changing "from"name. Any ideas?

The gmail app supports multiple accounts. Use that.
Also, you can go into your gmail settings from your PC and have one of your gmail accounts access your other POP3, managing those account for you. You can even set them up with a filter with autolabeling so they stand out in your inbox, also set them up so they show the original email when you reply.
I manage 7 email addresses this way, it works perfectly if you take the time to set it up well.

Now Im totally confused .
Via web Im using one gmail account ([email protected]) which receives mails from this adress and from 3 other servers via POP3. Mails are flagged - just as you described. We are here same, but:
- when I write answer to @gmail.com - it goes with @gmail.com, one answering for some POP3 message - answering as POP3 account owner. Via website everything is OK.
Via [email protected] if I receive mails to @gmail.com or any other POP3 Im always answering with the name and account set in Gmail application. So if somebody sends me email to account which is checked by gmail via POP3 once I answer from web - looks good, answered from phone - not as I use @gmail answering profile.
How can I match those in HTC to settings from Web?
Use K9 mail available from market, it let's you set up your gmail account and send e mails from different accounts

There are two email clients on android. The gmail app and the mail app. Use the later for multiple pop accounts and gmail at the same time. You can set up as many as you want. It's all built in. The google mail app is crap imo, just switch to the HTC one

Did you ever find a solution? I have the exact same question I have a gmail account, but my main email account is a work pop3. I used to use Outlook on my desktop and k9 on my EVO, but they didn't sync. Recently I changed over to using Chrome browser and gmail at work. I set gmail to check my work POP3 account and also have it set to send outgoing mail through the work pop3 server. My default "FROM" is my work POP3 address, but I can change the "FROM" to my gmail account using the drop-down in the "fROM" field. I also have another personal POP3 that I also have gmail checking and can send from that one as well.
My problem is that I can't select the FROM address when using the gmail app on my HTC EVO. It always addresses new messages from my default account which is the work POP3.
I like the gmail integration and don't want to to back to using multiple accounts in K9.
I cannot send outgoing email when out and about, but can receive incoming email anywhere.
When back in house and wifi, outgoing email suddeny sends.
I use pop3 on ukonline, so is there some security settings not working when not on wifi in house?
Sorry to hijack this thread, but I did a search and this was only topic that returned.
Your SMTP settings will be incorrect.
I suspect that you will be using UKOnlines SMTP server for outgoing mail, which is fine when you are connected via WiFi (and hence, via their network), but will not work via Mobile Internet unless they allow authenticated access from outside their network.

Hey guys,
Anyone knows how to sync hotmail with the DHD email app? cuz when i delete mails from the DHD app, it doesn't touch the mail on Hotmail.
Thanks alot.
When you set up account use the following settings:
Type: Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync
Username: [email protected]
Password: yourpassword
Server: m.hotmail.com
Use SSL: Yes
That will sync fully with Hotmail including contacts/calandar (optional).
sorry but i think i did something wrong cause it din work. after setting up, i tried to delete a message from the mail app. however it did not delete from hotmail. after i delete via the mail app, i get a new email notification about the email i just deleted. sorry for the trouble but can i get more specific instructions? and how to delete the old account?
Thanks in advance.
Hi, I've just given this a try and I can get my hotmail account up, however a couple of things don't seem to be working correctly or differently from the pop settings I previously used for Hotmail:
1) Every time I open my email the screen is blank, it then populates the emails, it does this every time I go back in, it appears like it's re-downloading them, but I'm not 100% sure, when using the pop settings you enter email and the previously sync'd emails are still there.
2) the account keeps re-syncing even though I have the 15 minute option set up rather than the push email (I'll try this option later). Every time it re-syncs it blanks the inbox and re-populates it.
3) once re-populated I can read and delete emails, however after a few seconds (maybe a minute) it re-syncs and all emails are unread, and any deleted emails re-appear.
the settings i'm using are:
Microsoft exchange activesync,
email address: [email protected]
Server address: m.hotmail.com
Username: [email protected] <-- this defaulted to just X, I had to enter the @hotmail.com for it to work
Password, and left a tick in the "this server requires an encrypted SSL connection" box.
There was a box for Domain, but I left this blank.
I'll give push email a try and write again once I have.
I've just tried the push option, and it works a treat!
None of that re-syncing, and my inbox isn't blank / require re-downloading every time I go into my mail.
Deleting emails on my phone now deletes them from my hotmail inbox as well!
Thanks for finding the settings!
Hope this works as well for other people.

Push is the same as putting it on manual in the update schedule right? Trying to do the same on my live account as the i just noticed that new e-mails that i have read via my laptop are being sent to my phone as unread.
Username: [email protected]
Password: yourpassword
Server: pop3.live.com
Use SSL: Yes

Got same problem you had! Wich 'push option' did you tricker? Where can i find it?
I gave up trying to get Hotmail to play nice ages ago.
I just use Gmail to pickup my pop Hotmail.
Keeps it simple and it works.. ^_^
I'm new to the world of pure Android. My previous devices have been HTC sense devices.
Normally I set my Gmail accounts through exchange/active sync because I also have multiple exchange accounts and prefer using a combined inbox. On my evo, all I had to do was enter my address and password and that was it .That doesn't work with this phone. I've tried multiple settings with no luck.
Has anyone had success with this?

Try This
Domain\Username:
\<your_username> do not include @....
Password:
<password>
Server:
<Fully Qualified Domain Name for Exchange Server> (ex. exchange.mydomain.com)
Check the box for Use secure connection (SSL)
Try not to check "Accept all SSL certificates" if that doesn't work then try it with it checked.
NOTE: If you Exchange Server is using a self-signed certificate then you may need to request that your IT gets a trusted CA certificate.
Exchange-Server for GMail is: m.google.com
Username and Password are your webmail credentials.
Use SSL.
Have either of you had success with those settings? I've tried those a dozen times, each time it says cannot open connection to server.

Please Clarify
Do you have a company exchange email that you pull your gmail accounts into? Can you clarify further? How do you normally get your exchange email? Through outlook client or outlook web access? Provide as much info without displaying server names/ private info please. Yes I used those setting exactly as I describe and may GNex connects to my company email just fine.
I have 6 email accounts, two are through Microsoft outlook. I can access those fine through the stock email app. My 4 other email accounts are with Gmail. I prefer to set those up through the stock email app instead of the Gmail app because I like the combined view feature. To be clear, I can set up those Gmail accounts to only poll the accounts. I'm looking to use Gmail through exchange for the push feature. This worked fine on my HTC devices. Not so much on this device.

Just tested these settings and they worked:
Added new Account.
Accounttype: Microsoft Exchange
First Step:
[email protected]
mypassword
NEXT
Second Step:
Domain-/Username:
\myemail (without @gmail.com)
mypassword
Server: m.google.com
Use SSL: ON
Accept all SSL Certificates: OFF
NEXT
DONE.
Worked like a charm.
BTW: If you just need the combined inbox, it is already there.
You don't have to use the GMail app.
Just open the E-Mail app, and tap on the top, on your exchange account.
You then can choose between all your e-mail accounts, even the gmail, or choose "combined view".
Still not working. I've uploaded pics of my setup and the error I get.

Yeah. The server would be: "m.google.com"

Hi, I tried it several times, even restarted my SIII, but no luck. Any other alternative? Cheers
Same problem on Galaxy Nexus JB 4.1.1
Any Tips?
Can't find Certificate
I'm just setting up the Eclipse ROM, everything EXCEPT the Contacts are syncing properly.
When I attempt to add a contact, and NOT store it locally, it tells me I must set up the exchange, which explains why it's not syncing them in the first place.
I followed all the previous suggestions to the letter......mainly: SERVER: m.gmail.com
Upon hitting "Next", where others are reporting success, it is telling me:
Can't connect to server? When I did get a server connection (?)....It told me that there was no certificate found on the SD.
I realize the Noob aspects of the question, and apologize....I do normally have a pretty good sense on the Android system, but don't have any background w/ exchange services...SO I appreciate any input.
THANKS AGAIN.....Spyder
I've just figured it out to setup gmail as exhange email. Put "ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM" without quote at domain
First Step:
[email protected]
mypassword
NEXT
Second Step:
Domain-/Username:
ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM\myemail (with @gmail.com)
mypassword
Server: m.google.com
Use SSL: ON
Accept all SSL Certificates: OFF

There's a known issue w/Hotmail sync if you're using corporate sync/active sync setup. MS changed the sync setup on their server and it broke sync on all kinds of phones...that might be what is affecting you.
This is one of the key threads on MS forum about it:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...-devices/e8a68843-02f9-4fe3-957b-233b21179fc5
Results can vary - it was working on some phones for some accounts, not on others. It started working again on my wife's Razr Maxx when she got her 4.0.4 update, it always worked fine on my GNex.
on ICS and JB, when i add a hotmail, it added as exchange. dont know why, but it automatic setup with it.

Well, from ACCOUNT SETUP> I input my email and password and hit on NEXT and after that > Could'nt open connection to server! tried hundred of times but no way!
Does that mean i cannot set HOTMAIL on my device? If so which Application can i use with which i can set HOTMAIL as my default e-mail for sending mails?
I have 3 setup on my phone...
Just add a corporate account and use your full email address as the Username and use m.hotmail.com as the server address
And how do i do that? I cannot seem to pass the stage for email and password input? Is it POP, IMAP or EXCHANGE? And i have never use any.Only used to setting simple email and thats all
Choose Exchange
