I originally setup my hotmail as an exchange account like I had to do on my HD2 with android to get more than 30 days emails on my phone and also my custom folders. When this didn't work I tried using the hotmail account.
Everything looks fine, it says it is setup to sync every 30 minutes but it just doesn't! I also have it set to sync when I open the inbox which works fine and it also syncs when I press the sync now button in accounts & sync . . . have I missed something here or is it a common issue?

i'm trying to sync. only contacts and email sync..looking for calendar sync.
mine wont even do contacts just email.
Mine syncs just fine with calendar and email. Not sure about contacts. I leave that Microsoft MyPhone.
Anyway, I would suggest you to delete the Exchange relationship and start over. Sometimes that helps.
i've done that many times, no luck, does that work for u havieri23?
yes, i deleted the exchange, but only still can do contacts and email...would like to get calendar working.
i used this link for setup help http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?answer=138636&topic=14299
but instead of user name: [email protected] which doesn't connect for me (gives error) i use [email protected]
Assume you've all followed the instructions to the word? Remembered to toggle on "Calendar" as well as "Contacts" and "Emails"?
yes i definitely have the boxes checked, they give me an error when i try to sync, and they never end up actually sync'ing. i have it setup exatly as the instructions say.
even if i set it just contacts, doesnt work, just calender, nope. just email, works fine xD
EDIT:
so.. i realized that i hadnt updated my sync times to instant, which i did, which resulted in calender syncing
heres the problem, i think google sync only allows up to 100 contacts to be synced. so if you have more, you'll get an error. i myself have 114, so i cant do it. too bad
is that true about contact limit?
is it true that the limit for the number of contacts that can be synced with Google contacts is 100? I would like to start using that sync but I have about 350 contacts.
hope this helps
I was reading this thread cause I just took on gmail as well for everything. So far I have had everything work except task, but they do say it doesn't work.
My settings for email is set to come as they arrive (both peak and off peak hours)
I have 320 contacts, all synced (and quickly I might add) i just had to sync twice for it to work.
server was m.google.com
username was [email protected]
domain was left blank and I have contacts, email, calender checked and tasks not checked (checking it cause an error with syncing)
My calender updated a test event for me... then while i had gmail open i moved the event from 2pm to 6pm by dragging it and as i was looking at my phone agenda on touchflo so the calender tab... it refreshed on its own moving the event to 6pm without me click one thing.
If i can help any other way.... in case this may help set up the server thru activesync and not thru mail setup.
it helped a lot
now clouds have dispersed.

Same problem here, still no solution
Work around for second gmail account
THere is a work around for this problem. Go to youtube application and login to the second gmail application you want to setup. Now go to general accounts app and you will notice that you can easily add the second account (in some cases android would have automatically added the google account).
Thanks, the trick worked for me but the defy still refuses to sync my contacts & emails
Something I noticed...I set my gmail to sync hourly but it does not do that at all. Both my hotmail accounts will sync hourly but whenever I go to my gmail app, the longest time before another sync was like 22 mins. I emailed myself something through gmail once and although my sync settings were still set at hourly, I got the email 10 minutes later. Idk what's going on with that. I just now put it on manually because I'm pretty sure its turning on my 3G more times than it should.

gmail app?
Anyhow, I have my gmail sync every 15min and think it's pretty accurate...
I actually have several gmail accounts and they sync at various times with my main personal account syncing every 15min... And it all seems fine...

He probably means the Gmail email app you get once you configure a Gmail account on your WP7.
slightly different problem with gmail sync
Hey everybody,
I'm wondering if anybody else is having the same problem as me at the moment ?
I've had the phone a few months now. I experienced a few issues with Hotmail and returned to using Gmail. It used to sync and push emails flawlessly, however it seems to have stopped working which is driving me mad.
When I wake up, i'm used to seeing new messages waiting for me (mainly XDA forum news). However, the push functionality has stopped working. I open my inbox, and see a message indicating email is up to date. However, no new messages are displayed. When pushing the sync button, the inbox is synced and the new messages are displayed, despite the settings set for "as items arrive". Highly annoying and not very productive to have to check for messages manually.
I played around with the settings trying various options, I even deleted the account and started over again (which was a pain re linking contacts etc, all to no avail.
Can anybody help me to restore my push email please ? I'm getting really cheesed off now.
Thanks
Garrickus.
Could it be possible that your phone had synced with G-mail 50 minutes before you sent yourself an email, and then you received it 10 minutes later, after the scheduled hour?
BUMP
go to email account settings and check if it is showing any errors. happened to me once. I re-entered my username passoword and the error went away. Perhaps this is due to Google getting very picky these days as many gmail accounts are getting hacked.
Why not just leave it in 'push' mode? Unless you have a lot of emails every hour, push email uses less data than polling. Gmail's exchange activesync isn't exactly rock solid. Back in WM 6.xx days, I have to reset my account every few weeks.
Hi,
is anybody else also facing issues with Exchange sync on ICS??
I am having some strange behaviour on the Galaxy Nexus using two Exchange accounts (business and private).
If I am setting up only one account everything is working fine: mails, calendar and contacts are syncing fine. Now I am setting up the second account. Afterwards account one is still working fine, but second account shows issues with not syncing calendar and contacts (while mail is working fine).
Sometimes it helps to check and uncheck the Sync calendar/Sync contacts option to load new contacts and calendar events. But this is not reproduceable very often.
Does anybody know about this issue and found a solution??
Thx in advance..
I have not been able to get mail pushed in almost 3 weeks. I always have to manually retrieve/refresh. I have tried using the native email and the gmail app but neither have any push option. I have sync on (both inside the email options and inside the Accounts Sync), power saver is OFF.
Has anyone else been able to consistantly have their yahoo and gmail email accounts pushed to this phone?

I use K-9 and would recommend trying that for your email. I went ahead and tested with my Gmail account and personal account. The default email app didn't push my personal account or my gmail account. I turned on sync for Gmail and after a couple minutes syncing, I then sent a test message on computer and received notification within seconds on phone.
I installed aqua mail last night and so far push is working like it should. Thanks for responding.
