Hi all,
I have an Optimus G and all is going well except for exchange integration. I configured the System Settings->Accounts & Sync as follows:
[email protected]
password
domain\username
mail.server.com
domain
Use SSL -> checked
I get past the next two screens and see a TOAST popup that says: "Server is not available. Please try again later."
The same settings worked on my Samsung Captivate running Cyanogenmod 7 and beyond over the last two years, right up to a nightly from a week ago. AFAICT, this issue is isolated to my LG phone and LG's implementation of Exchange accounts.
I tried other apps like Divide, MailDroid, etc., and they all work - but I want my work calendar via Business Calendar or the stock Calendar app, and I cannot find a way to get an Exchange account to work on the phone natively.
I've spent hours on Google and testing apps, all with no luck. It's the curse of buying a brand new phone, I suppose.
Any ideas?
Check your exchange email for devices.. if you flash a lot, each time you set up the email it will count your device as 1..I know the email won't accept more than 10 devices

Good thought - but the list only has a few attempts from various apps I've tried, and I've been clearing it regularly. The only attempt that apparently NEVER showed up in the list is when I tried to use the included Exchange account setup (the one that keeps failing). It's like it gets right to the last step and then gets rejected.
I recently moved from a Desire Z to the Optimus G. On Gingerbread or any ICS Roms on the Desire Z, simply putting mail.domainname.com worked for me. However, I had the same problem you are using when attempting to add my school's exchange server to the phone. I worked around it by using exchange.domainname.com instead of mail.domainname.com. I recommend that you try doing this.
Once I input that as the server name (username was [email protected] and so was email address), everything worked.
Hope it helps!

YOU WIN! While the server name was already correct, your note inspired me to replace "domain\username", which apparently works on all other phones in the company, with "[email protected]". That worked!
Hooray! Now I have work e-mail and calendar on my personal phone...hey, wait a minute... :silly:
I am having the same problem "Server not available. Please try again later".
So am I correct in saying that instead of username, I should put [email protected]?
For example, if my username is worldjunction and my domain is batman then for the Username field I shoud put [email protected]?
And for the Domain field should I put batman.com?
Your advice is greatly, greatly appreciated. I'm getting desparate here.
Using [email protected] doesn't work me. Anyone else have this problem?

I am having the same problem where it is saying "wrong address or password." The password is correct (because i can set this up with my other andriod devices) but there must be something going on with the username or server address
For example:
email address: [email protected]
password: password
username: sample & company/sample & [email protected] have all been tried
server address: mail.company.com & exchange.company.com have been tried
domain: company
Anyone figure this out yet?? your help is much appreciated
thought i was the only one with this issue.
ahhh will give your guys method a try
Any update to this problem? I have it working with my Galaxy S2 but I can't get my work email to sync on the OG. I've tried a combination of all of these.
usernames:
domain\username
username
[email protected]
server:
mail.company.com
exchange.company.com
EDIT/ Not sure if this is helpful or not but for some reason MailDroid works but K9 doesn't.

I'm having the same problem with my LGOG phone. like many i ahve tried all possible combinations and it doesn't seem to work.
like wise, maildroid was such a breeze to set up and K9, like the stock email app doesn't work. k9 didn't work for me in my older phone either after one of their update.
Same problem here
I seem to have the same issue as everyone else. Exchange email works just fine on my iPhone, and everyone else's Android devices (Galaxy S3, Nexus S, etc...). I use the exact same settings and the stock app on my LGOG will not connect. I installed a third-party email app and it worked, but it's ugly, and I want all my email accounts in the same place - as well as calendar and contacts integration.
I've tried all the suggestions - various combinations of usernames, server names and domains, and nothing is working. It appears something is horribly wrong with the LG email app.
Is there any way to install the email app from the Nexus 4?

server not avalible error
Hi All,
Ive also got same problem "server not avalible error", tried all combinations as per above , still no fix for me
Im on 4.1.2 and like the others ive not recived any updates to fix this error.. For those that updated ...Do you have to update via the LG software on the PC or check for updates via the phone its self...
Phone has been rooted, dont know if that makes any difference?.. yes i can get it to work with 3rd party software , but want to use the inbulit mail if i can.
Regards
Joe
I tried to update via LG software and the PC and it said no software update...
Anyone recommend a free exchange app for calenders so i can sync from work?

so ok. I have my new lovely desire. But one problem. I added my new email address to the Mail aip. It works but i can receive email. Instead I just get the message: "This is an old news letter and has expired".
how can i fix this?
Use the following settings
pop 3 address: pop3.live.com
enable SSL
smtp add: smtp.live.com
enable TLS
job done
Bump!
I've run into the same problem. Above posted settings don't work for me, when manually inserting them. Same goes for auto-detected settings after filling in my hotmail address and password.
When I change the app's settings to download the previous X amount of emails instead of past X amount of days, emails do get downloaded. The problem here, however, is that these are the very first emails I received, dating from the year 2000 and marked as "unread". When going through them to mark them as "read" again, new "unread" messages won't get through and the very first emails are kept.
Very strange problem that only affects, as far as I know, a minimal amount of users.
I've tried deleting the account, restarting and even a hard-reset to no avail.
Furthermore, I've contacted microsoft and htc. Microsoft's answer was rubbish, stating I should try the settings they provided in the email, which were the exact same settings I told them I had already used... Still waiting for HTC's response.
PS: Other mail accounts work fine btw.
Anyone experiencing the same problem?
I'm gonna go ahead and try this again. Bump, please help!
Just tried with these settings and it worked for me:
POP server: pop3.live.com (Port 995)
POP SSL required? Yes USE TLS
User name: Your Windows Live ID, for example [email protected]
Password: The password you usually use to sign in to Hotmail or Windows Live
SMTP server: smtp.live.com (Port 25)
Authentication required? Yes (this matches your POP username and password)
TLS/SSL required? Yes USE TLS
Important things to note are in red. Hope that helps
Thanks for the reply, but I already had those settings (everyone assumes I got them wrong ). Anyway, I solved it this afternoon after a lot of trial and error...

I did two things to get it to work. Perhaps one would suffice, but I couldnt be bothered to check which one fixed the problem. Here's what I did:
- Somewhere in the settings you can link your hotmail to your live account. I did that.
- I had a huge amount of emails in my inbox. I moved like half of them to a new folder.
Afterwards, the mail app synced without a problem.
Good luck!

I LOVE YOU!!!
I have tried 3 different 2.2 ROM's and all of them fail to connect to my exchange server which is a must have for me. I have tried built in Exchange ActiveeSync, AOSP mail.apk, calkulin's mail 2.2 apk and nothing works.
Does anyone know of a work around or what the hell I can do to get it working. I have asked this question a couple times in Rom threads and nobody apparently uses exchange activesync other than me.
Side Note:
Exchange 2007 R2
Not using self signed SSL Cert
Also, I know what section this is but when I posted in Q&A nobody responded and seeing how there are more knowledgeable people here I am hoping to get a resolution.
So thank you in advance for any and all insight given to me!
There might be something in your setting for exchange. I am able to connect to my companies exchange server with all the mail apps, I have it working with the Leaked OTA HTC 2.2 with there built in Active Sync. I also have tested with CM 6's nightly and it also syncs.
Now it's funny that in our system we have to setup the login as domain\user_name instead of how the email address is. in our case it's [email protected].
Also we had to use owa.ourdomain.com for the ssl server.
Hope you get it going. As it works great for me.
Mine works also. I am running the Froyo OTA leak. I am on Exchange through Active Sync.
Maybe a re-flash? or check your settings. I use the same settings as I would for the getting into my mail on the web.
My exchange works fine under Avalaunchmod's 2.2 and under FreshEvo 3.0. Like said above, try the domain\username. That's how mine works.
I would check with your IT department.
I have tried just about every recent 2.2 (read: since the "leak") rom and have not had an issue connecting to my exchange on any of them.

Ok thank you for the tips and will try that. I have seen some others having this same issue but haven't found a solid root cause or solution posted anywhere and I have searched for quite a while. I am flashing back over to 2.2 right now and will attempt your suggestions. On every version prior it was never a problem and I simply entered
[email protected]

I may very well be wrong but it may have something to do with BakedSnack because I am having the same issue as you. My Exchange worked fine pre-root and seems to work fine on Fresh but on BakedSnack (9.7 or 1), nada.
It's been driving me nuts because I love the BakedSnack ROM. Interestingly, when I first set up my Exchange on BakedSnack 1 yesterday it worked for the very first sync but I ended up with "unable to connect to server errors thereafter." Over the course of the past few weeks I've flashed and reflashed Baked several times and could get the Exchange account set up but no email.
If you discover a fix, please let me know.
Also, the Exchange Server at my office is 2003. Maybe it has something to do with that.
I have the same problem, so far unsolved

I don't think Hotmail supports push anyway, but I may be wrong
I have Samset installed now, and the market no longer shows the Samsung social hub. But from what I saw, emails I got were very instantaneous.
Samsung social hub comes bundled inside Samsung Apps, not Android Market
the hotmail / yahoo "push" is more like polling, i don't think it's a real push like in the Blackberries
the only true push is the Gmail emails using the Gmail app
Hotmail Push
Hotmail supports push email through the Exchange protocol.
To add a Hotmail (push) account to android devices is to add a Corporate account under Accounts/Syn under Seetings.
Details are as below:
email: [email protected] or [email protected] or whatever your hotmail email id is.
password: your password
Click Next
Domain\Username: [email protected] or [email protected] or whatever your hotmail email id is. (Nothing to fill up for Domain so just give your email id).
password: your password (gets auto filled in from the previous page)
Exchange Server: m.hotmail.com
Check (tick)Use Secure Connection
Click Next
Under Account Settings
Poll email interval: Choose Push (Automatic)
and complete the setup and Hotmail Push is ready.

Same. Here is an email I just got from Microsoft.
To get Hotmail on-the-go, you recently tried to set up a service called ActiveSync from your mobile device.
We are really glad that you're interested, but we had so many sign-ups that we had to temporarily stop accepting new ones.
We're making constant improvements and we should be accepting new requests fairly soon. Please check the following website in about two weeks to see what's happening: http://windowslivehelp.com/solutions.aspx?categoryid=699b2703-2b62-4a92-86f2-9d5d52cc477d.
Thanks again for using Hotmail--we're really sorry about this delay.
Sincerely,
The Hotmail Team

Exchange support for Hotmail did not work for me a a week ago (I even got the email saying the service was not available for Android phones), but now it does.
It's really heavy on the battery though, especially if you compare it to Gmail push. I might have to go back to normal sync.
wow, I think this might be why I suddenly had battery drain. One time it practically drained 100% overnight! What kind of push is this? Doesn't push use a standard protocol, meaning there are no optimizations to be done, it just is what it is..
Just set it up my hotmail.co.uk on with a 'corporate' account. Spot on, sent and received no probs. Sync'd my folders too.
Gonna give it another try this night. If it remains above 90% then it means it's not draining my battery. If not, then back to automatic sync.

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.

Really? Im using the stock email app.
Set Server as m.hotmail.com

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?

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.

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:

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.

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

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
