Hi..
Anyone know how I can get my Desire to support my google account? It seems to allow only [email protected] google accounts, but my account uses a non google email address...
Thanks...
I didn't know Google offered other domains, only Google.com and googlemail.com.
What is yours?

A lot of businesses and colleges use gmail but use it under another domain name. If you are talking about the phones gmail or calendar app you set it up as like normal under settings but enter the enter in entire email... like [email protected] that worked for me.

Hi...
Google doesn't offer other domains that I know of. My google account is via a non google email -- my pre-existing email address that I've had longer than Google has existed! Most android devices allow you to sign in to a google account with any email address. The Desire will only allow an [email protected] address.
I contacted HTC support and they said "open another account". Yeah, that's really useful, as my play.google apps won't be there (google won't merge 2 accounts) and my calendar won't sync (the Desire calendar won't see anything other than the primary account calendar).
So this renders much of the phone useless -- unless someone knows how to bypass this stupid HTC limitation....
Would installing a clean Rom, without the HTC additions solve it?

Thanks -- good idea. A clean rom install allowed me to get the accounts working fine!
just add an gmail adress to you account. you should be able to do it on gmail.com.
it was the same for me, now i can login with my hotmail adress and my gmail adress to the same account.

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.

Hi, I hope this hasn't been asked, I searched and had a look through a few pages manually and couldn't find anything.
I seem to have a problem sending emails from my hotmail account on the HTC Desire. I have an HD2 set up with my account and it works fine, but my friends desire set up with MY details will receive my emails but not send them. Has anyone come across this before. I've been through the settings and they match up with what is listed online.
Thanks in advance
(again hope its not already been asked)
Check your account settings and apply these settings:
Outgoing:
Outgoing mail server address - smtp.live.com
Security type - TLS
Server port - 25

Hi, yeah I've checked through these and they perfectly match the settings on the phone. I've even registered myself for Gmail, set up the phone to receive the Gmail emails (which it does fine) but it will also not send from the Gmail account.
The messages disappear, they go to sent items not outbox. But just never seem to reach the destination. (tested the destination several times by sending emails from my HD2 and its working fine)
Thank you anyway though
Try changing the outgoing server port to 587 and that should work for you.
If not, are you rooted or running the stock firmware? Have you tried a hard reset to eradicate any potential software bugs?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Yeah I saw someone had 587 and I tried that. I think I have found the problem (after saying I tested the destination thourghly) emails sent from the Desire are being rejected by our mailscanner. However when sent from my HD2 they arrive fine. But when I sent an email from the Desire to another hotmail account it worked. When sending to a yahoo account it arrived and then instantly disappeared again into junk. So I guess now I would ask...do you know why the emails are being put into junk when sent from the desire, but the same email from an HD2 doesn't?
Thanks
No idea mate. I thought it could be something to do with your mailscanner config on your mail server but like you say, it receives email ok when sent from your HD2 :S
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Yeah definitely a weird one, I guess I'll have a tinker and see what happens, if I get a result I'll post it up incase anyone has the same problem in future.
But thanks for your help

finally taking the plunge and swapping to gmail as Google+ apparently needs a gmail account.
Ive done this through google itself (on the google mail site) so in theory its all done for me ... but what about my phone/tablet ? these are still set up as googlemail. Do i need to change these ? if so whats the best/easiest way ?
Googlemail accounts work just fine.

Googlemail = Gmail. Gmail = Googlemail. Samething.
cheers ... just wasnt sure if i needed to change anything on my phone as it still says googlemail
I have seen yahoo.co.uk address sign up - as long as they are associated to a google account then its fine
Dear members,
I deleted my hotmail email and wants to create another but when I input my email and password ( and I am sure they are correct), I have this error message " can't connect to server" and I have strong internet connection, what do I do? Thanks.

Are you trying to add it as a POP account or as an exchange account?

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

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.

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.
Regards

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.
Even I'm.waiting for outlook sync in the mean while
