hey guys,
new member here so can't post in the dev's section...
i am using sep 20 version of nightly CM10 JB, and am trying to set up the Exchange server for outlook web app thru my Email client. In the settings when i select use SSL and hit next, the notification pops up and says "your android devise does not support the security protocol required...". There is also a button to try to load a certificate, but the phone cannot locate the certificate in the SD root folder. Anyone else has this problem? What do i do?
Thanks for all your responses
Try doing a clean flash and wipe all caches. All my exchange accounts use SSL which is required anyway if I'm not mistaken.
That's something new I've never encountered before.

are you running CM10 Jelly bean?
Can you export or save the exchange certificate and then email it or otherwise transfer the file to your phone so you can import it into the local certificate store?
...this is one of the reasons I use Touchdown... it works with the exchange server I run for dev purposes which uses a self signed SSL certificate without complaining too overly much. Touchdown and CM10 get along just fine.

i am using Touchdown now. It works fine. But its only trial thats free. and i hate how i have to use multiple apps to check all my email.
If there was an app that could support all accounts (POP and Exchange) it would be awesome
anyone?

I use the builtin client for POP3/IMAP accounts... It will also work with Hotmail accounts. So, I do use two clients but for me it's not the large an issue.

Awesome news folks. Hotmail activesync finally works for me here on EVO 3.70 email program. Email/Contacts/Calendar working fine. Thank goodness. Now all we need is multiple exchange support and we will finally be up to par.
What setting did you use, are you on the stock app? Still cant get mine to work, thx in advance!

Really? Im using the stock email app.
Set Server as m.hotmail.com
username: [email protected] (or live or msn or whatever)
password: xxx whatever yours is
Dont set domain
Set SSL on and accept all ssl certs.
Working great for me. Slow to download contacts at first but works fine afterwards.
Does it push or just periodically check for new mail?

Does HTML work for you? I was able to sync but message format is greyed out with "plain text" selected.

I still get "Failed to create the account. Please try again later." I also never see an option to accept all SSL certificates.
What does the 3.70 refer to? My stock mail app from HTC is v2? NM, I figured out that 3.70 is the overall software load.
Thanks,

I don't know if it made a difference but I stopped the app and cleared the cache and it created the account and synced the first time. I did not see an option for "accept all SSL certificates".
THANKS OP!!!

Worked for me too, no html though. Shucks, thx anyway!
Didn't work for me, I still get the failed to create account error. This is getting pretty annoying. I've seen some other posts that people have had success with using another email client besides the stock one so I guess it's time to look around for a third party email app.

I have been using 'Improved Email'. Even though I got the stock app to work, I will probably keep using Improved Email as it allows me to check multiple emails for deletion. Neither app currently displays HTML emails.

It works fine for me, thanks for the heads up.
As much as I try I seem to be failing miserably. Tried by just opening Native email app and by going to home, settings, Accounts & Sync, Add Account, Exchange ActiveSync and am trying:
email & password, Next.
Domain left blank
username = email addy
password,
server = m.hotmail.com
both SSL boxes ticked,
but I keep getting:
Setup could not finish
Cannot connect to server.
Im going out of my mind now!
Actually a friend of mine was trying that with his Arc but no success.. seems working fine with POP3 for some reason ... wish I could help
I am having the same problem...
That's interesting, has anybody actually had any success connecting to any exchange activesync server using the arc? I only have access to hotmail's exchange, but this works fine on touchdown, just not the native app...

I'm connected to my University's exchange server (hosted on the Hotmail cloud) and it works fine. Make sure to use your full email address for your username.
I am also having the same problem. Strange.

Was able to set up hotmail at the first try.
as for Exchange, I don't know - because I don't use it.
I have just tweeted se. Will have to see what they come back with.
Just set up a hotmail account too. Works without a hitch.
I want to set hotmail up with PUSH email... not PULL(POP3) which way I can set it up...
I use enhanced email apply and exchange (push) and footprint set up fine.
Wish it had more ram or a way to permanently kill tasks until required.

I'm using the default mail client to connect to my corporate exchange server via activesync. No problems at all. Exchange Server 2003 though. Don't have 2007 or higher to test on.

I don't think Hotmail supports that. Unless you know of some plan where MS charges you money.

It does. Microsoft started supporting it a little while ago. Only seems to work with mobile phones atm, ie android, apple etc. It doesnt seem to work with outlook without that hotmail connector.
This is what I received back from SE earlier this morning.
'@Gavilaaar To set this up, you would need to contact Hotmail to obtain the correct server settings you require.'
Anyone wanna laugh with me???
Is that possible to sync Hotmail Calendar with Arc?

Why? They're right... It's not SE's job to set you up with Hotmail.
Did you look elsewhere online?
Microsoft adds Hotmail ActiveSync support for iPad, iPhone but not yet Android
http://www.zdnet.com/blog/microsoft...port-for-ipad-iphone-but-not-yet-android/7251
So AFAIK it's not yet officially supported by MS, but you can give it a shot.
My school email server runs on the hotmail cloud (I can access it via hotmail.com) and it works.
But basic hotmail doesn't.
FYI... A quick google search found many threads recommending "better mail client" (free on the market) for this task. Seems to work.

To be fair, I did have a major bounce around the web after I tweeted SE and found the same information as you.
What I was asking them was why hotmail wasn't working with the stock email client but working with others. And that was the reply.
how do u sync an outlook mail account with the epic? i have been looking for answers, but no cigar. i'm trying to sync my corporate webmail that is based off of outlook.

I am assuming that your outlook is displaying mail housed on an exchange server?
Are you running Stock or a custom ROM?
GB (EI22/EL30/FB15):
I have read that using the email.apk (the stock email application) from FroYo (android 2.2) people are having better results.
attached find the email application from EC05, save it to your sd card, use root explorer to rename the email.apk in /system/app to email.old, then copy email.apk on your sd card to /system/app.
reboot and try to connect to your exchange server.
I can't test this as I don't have an exchange server to connect to.
CM9:
here is a thread talking about exchange server email
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1498149
you may be able to use the attached email.apk under CM9 as well.
Hope that helps
It looks like jdelano and I were writing at the same time. If you were looking for more beginner instructions, here is what I wrote:
The first thing you should try is the ActiveSync option in the Accounts & Sync settings. The icon looks like the four corners of a square and the name sometimes varies. You will need to enter your log in information, your network domain, and your server. Depending on your server's setup the amount of data you need to enter can be different. Usually yu will start with email and password and it will try to autodetect the other settings but if that doesn't work you will need to enter more manually. If yu have to enter the server URL it is usually the URL you would use to access Outlook Web Access. If you are lucky, the security model on the exchange server is compatible with the features of the Epic and everything will sync with the stock email, contacts, and calendar apps.
If you get an error about the security not being compatible you will most likely need to buy Touchdown for Exchange or Moxier Mail.
Let me know if this is enough information for you. If not I can do some screen-shots to try and help.
I am running stock deodexed and rooted el30..exactly what app do I use for this?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
I have exchange email and I always use the stock email app that is included with whatever rom and version. Meaning I never change the email and I don't really condone that idea because in the email app they had to upgrade security settings in the gb app.

You will need to contact your I.T. to give you the proper settings because if its exchange email you will not be able to use the account settings found in outlook for that email account because those are the "local settings" if you are on their network. You need the external settings but your I.T. would give you the proper settings by just telling them what you want to do. If they allow you to.

Thanks for the file. I got really excited when I tried this and didn't get the error that my phone wasn't compatible with the server's security settings and it looked like the syncs were all good to go. Unfortunately no data populated the email app, the calendar, or the contacts for me.
I hope others get better results.
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.

that is the only thing I could think of.
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.

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
