Can I synch Desire with Hotmail?

Helle guys!
I'm most likely going to buy Desire tomorrow. My HD2 changed the Lockcode automaticly today. And I'm so tired of the SMS bug and all that other things so I'm going to trash it.
My question is, can I synch Desire with my hotmail? I have everything over there, Calendar, Contacts, Mails, etc.
I love the way this function is intregrated in Leo.
Thanks for reading guys...

Yes, you can sync the desire with hotmail. I think server is pop3.live.com and smtp is smtp.live.com. I have set it up and works fine. I don't know if this is an EU only thing or USA as well..
Not too sure about anything more than the email. I have google calendar and contacts, which works best for obvious reasons..
Good luck

Hey!
Thank you dude!
I'm going to buy it then.

You can't really sync with Hotmail. The only thing you can do is receiving your emails trough pop3. You cannot sync your calendar or your contacts as there is no native hotmail or windows live app/integration for android.
What you could do is import your hotmail account into gmail and then sync your desire with gmail and you'll get your contacts and calendars and of course your e-mails. You can even send your e-mails from you gmail account with a different e-mail adress. After the import you can set your gmail account to query the pop3 hotmail server every 15 minutes to get your mails.
Did this for my girlfriend, so she can get all her mails from hotmail including contacts and calendar.

How to use multiple accounts at gmail?

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.

Exchange Activesync-hotmail

Has anyone successfully sync with their hotmail account?
I tried to change the server address to m.hotmail.com and successfully lead me to another page to sync with emails and accounts but when I click sync, it will show an error saying failed to create the account. please try again later

I think that all hotmail accounts have not yet been enabled for exchange active sync (unfortunately)...

Mine has always worked fine......
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

I get 'failed to create the account. Please try again later' on my device.
Perhaps it's not enabled on my account. Any way of telling if it has?

Hi guys, I do have exchange active sync working on my Hotmail account. Sync of email, contacts and calendar work flawless. Hang in there apparently this week more news will be made available regarding EAS.

I have the same problem.
it seems to connect to the server, but is then unable to create the account.
I think i have the wave 4 hotmail. but supposedly that is not all you need.

Same problem for me. Hopefully my account becomes enabled soon

It's not your account that's the problem, it's HTC's mail app.
Try downloading 'Improved Email' from the market, it's free and works like a charm.

[Q] Email in one place?

No matter where I look, I can't seem to find any one application that properly supports what I want to do...
I primarily use Gmail and Hotmail for email, and I'd like push access to both. The Gmail app supports push, but only for Gmail accounts, the stock Email app (CM9) supports ActiveSync exchange for Hotmail, but no push for Gmail. I tried K-9 mail and it supports Gmail push, but can't do ActiveSync exchange for Hotmail, forcing me to use POP3, which doesn't have push, or server sync.
Is there any single email app that will fully support both IMAP IDLE for Gmail and ActiveSync Exchange for Hotmail?

the stock mail app supports gmail push. did you try setting it up manually?

By nature microsoft exchange is the only push email. Gmail is only push with that app because it has constant data connection to google servers best thing google ever did. Hotmail or any other free emails are not push so your sol

You can set up your gmail accounts in the stock email app as exchange accounts. Just do a google search for "gmail exchange setup" for directions. Then you can set them up for push.

By default on android gmail is push no need to setup as exchange account. If your hotmail is a free account you will not be able to set it up as push no matter what you do.

Actually when Hotmail is set as an exchange server, it gets Push, free or not.
However, if I try to set up Gmail as exchange in the stock Email app, it says it's not a supported protocol.

I was in a similar shoe as OP.
Originally, I had multiple accounts pushed to the phone but learned that it's more efficient to aggregate all emails including work emails to 1 gmail acct. Gmail app will use the correct email address when I reply. And it saves battery.

Well I tried setting up Gmail as an ActiveSync exchange account and while it seems to work at first, it keeps reporting an incorrect username or password. I've verified both and even tried the Captcha auth step I've seen online and it keeps giving errors.

Add your hotmail email into your gmail settings using pop 3 and then all your hotmail will goto your gmail that's what I do fir 4 different emails

Except that POP3 can't do Push, so it won't work for my needs.
As it is right now, I get push email in the Gmail app for my Gmail address and push email in the Email app for my Hotmail account. I saw that Gmail can be used as an ActiveSync exchange account like Hotmail can, so my hope is to just use the Email app for both accounts.

Can you do with yahoo? Would love to have my gmail and yahoo!

It looks like it worked, I now have Gmail set as an exchange server in the stock Email app, along with Hotmail, both getting Push and server sync.

That's interesting. I have 3 gmail accounts all set up with exchange sync. I think you might have set it up incorrectly.

It only pushes to the gmail app. If you set up a gmail account on the stock email app, it will set it up through imap, but the app doesn't support imap idle push.
Google set up the exchange sync to deal with the iPhone, which doesn't support imap push either.

So, just to make sure we have everyone doing the same thing:
How to set up a gmail account for Exchange push:
(I am using CM9, Android 4.0.4, so the steps may be slightly different on a different rom. However, I have had thbis set-up work on stock Android 2.2 and 2.3)
Go to seetings> accounts and sync
Select add new
Select Corporate/Exchange
Enter your gmail address and password
Select next
Your phone will attempt an automatic setup. This may take a little while.
On the next screen, on the line that says domain/username enter:
gmail.com/[your username]
Now this is the most important step that gets missed most often. Ont the line that says server enter:
m.google.com
Notice that says google, not gmail.
Select next, and choose your other various preferences.
To make sure your email is set to push, go to settings for that account, and under data usage and email check frequency, select push.

Sync Issue with New Outlook email service

Microsoft are launching their new outlook.com service today.
I got carried away and stupidly converted my hotmail.com account to outlook.com account.
Now I can't sync my phone with the new outlook.com service. (I can login with but it doesn't sync)
Worse, I stupidly deleted my hotmail.com account on phone trying to sync with the new outlook account.
Now all my hotmail based contacts on htc one x is gone, and I am not even sure if I will get it back even if I can sync to this new outlook account. Have no idea how it HTC sense store the phone contact data on hotmail.
One other thing, I am in China at the moment.(i can access to outlook.com without VPN)
Anyone got any solution or insight?

Try setting up an ActiveSync account for it in the stock e-mail app. Here's a link to the instructions. It's for WM and iPhone but the settings are the same.

I was able to configure the new Outlook.com with the settings that I posted here...
gizmocanada.com/2012/08/outlook-com-and-the-htc-one-x-samsung-galaxy-siii-or-asus-transformer-pad-infinity/
I used snt-m.hotmail.com for server address

The documentation also mentions m.outlook.com for the server. Didn't test it yet.
Envoyé depuis mon HTC One X avec Tapatalk

I switched to the Outlook.com site, but I've left my address as @hotmail.com so no issues for me (other than the website not working in Chrome).

Hi
I switched as well before I knew what I was doing
I could get Exchange Active Sync working again by removing it and adding back using my new outlook.com email address.
The instructions are to use m.outlook.com, this connects but fails to validate credentials, perhaps it takes a while to move over. Using m.hotmail.com authenticates okay but sync'ing doesn't work, the same problem a lot of us have had for a couple of months. Using snt-m.hotmail.com and it is syncing again.
Interestingly using the emulator running 4.0.4, then m.hotmail.com works fine from there, so pointing to the issue that the HTC One X Exchange app isn't working with the redirect correctly, hence needing to short circuit in my case to snt-m.hotmail.com. Using m.outlook.com doesn't work from the emulator either, fails with invalid username/password.

Phil

Hi, I tried the snt-m.hotmail.com but I still can't get mine to sync too! Always gives me an error in syncing (the red sync icon). When I tried to connect my hotmail on my bro's android 2.3 HTC Rhyme.. Everything works!
Do you guys have other ways to solve this problem?

I've installed hotmail app, it syncs all..
But I'm not able to create new contact on ur phone in hotmail.
