hey guys from Artemis forum!
had started this service out to TYTN users and figured i should spread the news around to some of the other boards. if you guys are looking for push email, please get in touch here's what i posted in the tytn forum:
I'm now offering exchange mailboxes to users (subscription based service). right now i see two, one by austindkelly in the wizard forum (he's disappeared for over a month and looks like he doens't offer his service any more) and one by denial in the kaiser section ($5/month). I thought I'd offer up a similar service starting with the hermes group (cheaper of course) with a few extra tidbits of joy...
- supports iphone exchange services, saves a heck of money over apple's mobileme service!
- outlook web access (with the advanced interface)
- 1gb quota
- both SSL as well as standard port options
- *IMAP access* - you don't even need outlook, syncs flawlessly with your phone.
- *MAPI* outlook access - hook up your outlook on your PC to sync with my service which in turn syncs with your phone. no plugging in ever needed!
- alias included (get your own email)
- changing your password through outlook web access (one-way non-reversible encryption).
I figured it's a bit of an overkill having my own exchange server that's serving a single account (i.e. mine). so why not open it up!
Price is $10 for 3 months, $19 for 6 months.
Please PM me if you're interested... I'll probably set up your account within 12 hours (probably less).
And yes, will give you unused credit money back etc etc if you're unsatisfied for whatever reason. I'm really not in this for the money, it's more to utilize something I spent hours building up, plus to cover the costs of my internet / server hardware.
And, as usual, if you need any files hosted for xda-developers just let me know, i'm already hosting over 40 ROM images and serving 5-6gb/day in ROMs from the wiki!
cheers!
free accounts:
will provide 10 rotating free accounts at any given time for test purposes, will base it off of usage. so if you use the free account, i'll keep it up indefinitely, if not then account will be removed after 14 days and given to the next person in line.
Free accounts do not have MAPI access, have 50mb storage, have no aliases either.
Depending on utilization I may increase this 10 free account limit.
few people are asking about synching from multiple sources...
from my understanding i can only give you one alias for your accounts, which means you can't select your "from." however you're free to forward as many accounts as you wish to the account i create for you, but you can only send from one "alias."
another multi-synching thing people are asking is whether you can sync calendar with your desktop and email with my service. sure!! its best that way in fact - that's what i do. i have my outlook on my desktop which has my calendar, contacts, and only sync my email via push on exchange to my server... you can even take this a step further and set up IMAP access so what you see in your email client is the same as what you'll see in your pocket outlook... if you delete from your desktop, whoosh it disappears from your PDA too
mail2web.com offer free exchange with push and 1gb limits. Been using them for a year now and there pretty good. You can also enable their email aggregator. Thisis where it picks up pop3 mail from your other mail accounts into the one.
They also offer a subscription if you want some enhanced services but it is more than yours. Used to be $2 but they more than doubled the price Not so bad for me though as Im in the UK and the exchange rate is good but still, a huge leap.

i used mail2web for a couple of weeks when i first got my phone their free service, however, does not support aliasing and I didn't want that. so my options were to either pay $5 a month or just set up my own server. i of course went for the latter!
the aggregator is an unnecessary feature if you ask me. any email provider that allows pop access would also allow forwarding access. forwarding would just be much much faster (i.e. instant) versus pop where you have to tell the aggregator to download email every x minutes.
but yeah, anyway, choice is always a good thing
MAPI (i.e. desktop outlook) access is now enabled
still plenty of resources to use up so drop me a line if interested!
going to take the server down for about 15-20 minutes this afternoon for a quick reboot and offline backup. planning for 3:00pm GMT. please be patient, hopefully it should be done much much faster!
Chamelion
Have you got any free accounts left ?
Also - I don't think that my ISP actually supports email forwarding (BTYahoo/BTInternet) ... so does you support email collection yet ?
** Edit - well, just for a change it appears that I'm wrong. They do support email forwarding ! Must be a new feature
Cheers
Mark
hey mark,
can set you up with a free trial account, shoot me a PM with desired username
i don't support email collection, but a workaroudn is have a gmail account pull mail via pop and forward everything to my server...
Just a note of thanks
I've been using Chamelion's mail service for about a month now...
I have an exchange server for my work mail, but just needed a fast, clean IMAP server, with no ads and resonable storage. I also get no mobile signal at home, so connect over wifi in the house, and push email rewuires a GPRS connection to work.
I have my mail polled by my device every 10 minutes, and also have an IMAP account set up on my Outlook on my work system, so I have a consolidated personal email account at Chamelion's servers. I've forwarded my personal domain mail to the server, and created cname records on my personal DNS for imap.mydomain.com and smtp.mydomain.com to go to chamelion's, so my mail setup looks totally like it's my own server!
RECOMMENDED TO EVERYONE!

appreciate the positive review quite a setup you got going there, amazing how much you can pull off if you know what you're doing!!
Quick update regarding update in the server!
I know I've had some VERY avoidable downtimes this past few months. Because this is running on a laptop it has been unplugged from the power / ethernet while its been moved.
however good news! I've just purchased a replacement - a nice server
Specs - dual core AMD 5600+ with 2 gb RAM, 820gb storage (for those attachments ).
i'll do the switchover soon as i get the machine, should hopefully take 10-15 minutes as i just need to image the drive across.
once i get the machine i'll push up the trial accounts to 15 or 20 so if you're interested i'll post here when the migration is done and you can drop me a note
cheers!
been getting a few PMs recently about whether i still offer this (maybe its the iphone crowd finding a cheaper alternative to apple's crazy crap service!).
yes i do and i think users can attest to the fact that since the upgrade to the new server been up and running at 100% since june!
drop me a PM if any of you need service. and yes, it is compatible with the iphone - i use it on my iphone too.
quick note - yes there was a 3 hour outage between 5am and 8ish am on saturday; sorry about that. seems my ISP went down, given how short the outage was and how this was the first one in god knows how long i didn't bother spending 1/2 an hour on the phone with them figuring out what the issue was will chase it up if it happens again though!
can someone who has successfully set up outlook 07 with my service PM me with the settings they've used? i need to get some instructions on my site on how to do it, and i don't use exchange 07 myself...
thanks!
UPDATE Now offering Exchange 2010 accounts - fully compatible with latest outlook, html email etc!

So this has happened on an ICS leaked ROM on my Epic 4G Touch and now on my Galaxy Nexus. Since the GN is ICS-native I thought I'd ask here.
I have an Exchange account linked up. 2x on the Epic and now today on the GN the mail app has started replying to all messages in my inbox with a blank message. To all recipients, including myself. I am sure it's from my phone because
-it has my name in quotes, which is not the case when one uses the actual e-mail client at work
-they are not in my sent box in the e-mail client/system at work
-they are in the "mobile sent" box on the phone.
So...anyone have any idea why this might be happening? Any one else seen this?
here's another way of asking - anyone have their GN set up for Exchange for more than...4 months where this has NOT happened?
I was good on my Epic for at least a month on ICS. Probably 6 weeks. Then 2x on the Epic in a matter of 3 weeks, then just 1 week later on my GN.
thanks.
I have been using exchange account with my nexus since early feb. before that on my galaxy S as well. I do remember this happening on my galaxy S once. but that was using samsung provided email client and not native google email client. Per my notes, I deleted my exchange account and added it again and that fixed the issue for a while. I however ended up replacing stock email client with an app called Touchdown Exchange. it is much better exchange client. and allowed me to circumvent some additional annoyances with stock email client. I know this does not help you solve your issue necessarily
i have had this problem for a while.
i used to have a D1, and one day, randomly about 6 months ago, it decided to resend every email i'd sent from my phone, but with blank content. I noticed that i had "sync 2 weeks" selected, and it resent every email from the past 2 weeks.
last week (6 weeks after getting my GNEX), same issue - this time, i had it set to only sync 1 week, and again, only 1 weeks' worth of emails was resent. Then again, yesterday.
Exchange 2007 with stock client.
I've changed it from PUSH to EVERY 5 MINUTES, and restricted my "days to sync" to 3.
Were you on PUSH as well? I hope to God this is the cause (Push/Exchange conflict), because if not, my work will force me to ditch the GNEX and get a BlackBerry.
I have a bone stock GSM Galaxy Nexus (and am a recent iOS convert). I have two Exchange accounts setup in the email client (not the gmail client). For sake of argument, they are "email1" and "email2". My default account is "email1".
My problem is that sometimes I want to send mail from "email2" when sending email via other apps. A typical example is when I'm viewing a picture I just took with the camera and I decide to email it to a friend, but I want the email to come from "email2". How do I use (or re-configure) the email client to let me choose the outbound (from) email address?
I'd like to know too...
I know this probably applies to a very narrow audience to begin with, but is anyone else having issues getting emails pushed to their phone/K9 Mail from GoDaddy hosted imap accounts? I've used K9 for my work email account for over a year now and never had any issues, emails would get pushed to my phone almost immediately after being received on our GoDaddy hosted imap account. However, about a week or so ago, I noticed that I would get Outlook desktop notifications well before I would get the same email pushed to my phone. After observing this behavior for the past week and testing a few things out, I've narrowed it down to either the way K9 Mail interacts with GoDaddy's mail servers, or GoDaddy's mail servers themselves.
On my phone, I set up two imap accounts in K9, one a gmail imap account and the other my work imap account (hosted by GoDaddy). I sent a single email addressed to both the gmail account and the work account and every single time I did this test, the email would be pushed to the gmail account almost immediately, whereas it would take at least 15 minutes for the same email to be pushed to my work account. This happens on both wifi and 3G/4G, which rules out network configurations as being the root cause of the problem.
As much as I would like a solution to this problem, I'm more curious as to whether anyone else has noticed this problem, and if so, they can perform the same test described above to see if they get the same result.

I had the same problem and had to upgrade my app. Made by the same people who made k9, there's an app called kaiten. That worked like a champ. Hope that helps! I had to switch for my email coming from my graphic design business.
Thanks for the reply. I've tried out several apps that include push support, including Kaiten, with the same results. The problem is either with K9 and the way it works with GoDaddy's email servers, or GoDaddy itself. I'm sure there's 0 chance of finding out which one since both can just blame it on the other.
Solution
Just wanted to follow up and not leave this thread hanging in case someone else runs into this issue, but the problem has been pinpointed and resolved. It turns out that when when you set the incoming server to imap.secureserver.net for GoDaddy-hosted email accounts, there are a total of four physical mail servers available and you are randomly assigned to one of them for access when you establish your imap connection. Two of the servers support imap idle ("push" email) and two do not, which is why sometimes push email works and other times it does not. It depends one which server you end up at when establishing the connection. To remedy this problem, instead of setting the incoming server to imap.secureserver.net, which will land you at one of the four GoDaddy mail servers, enter one of the two mail server IPs that DO support imap idle: 72.167.82.19 and 97.74.135.193
One thing to keep in mind is that on the off chance that the IPs for GoDaddy email servers change, you will obviously not be able to establish a connection and will need to reconfigure your email settings with the correct server address.
Full credit to Ashley Willis for finding the root cause and providing the solution, and Bernhard Redl for troubleshooting the issue as well, both of whom are devs for the K9 mail app.

Thank you for this as i have been searching high and low for a solution
so my company is hosting on godaddy and i got an email account with them i need for business, can you confirm this is still working? I will make the changes in my settings now and check to see if it works, what are your other settings?
I dont want to set my phone to check at set intervals every 1 minute is too much but what i need (ie push) but even every 15 minutes is too burdensome.
Would you mine running me through the settings for your phone?
btw im using the full paid version of aqua mail just recently and if there is a better app i can just refund this one and get another that will work. thanks
---UPDATE---
I tried editing my settings the first IP 72.167.82.19 would not take saying something about an incoming server error, the second one (97.74.135.193) did work but I am not receiving my emails until the 15 minute interval, Has anyone found a solution to this yet? or switching email providers is only way?
I've been using the 97.74.135.193 address for a nice long while now so I can't comment on whether or not the 72.167.82.19 is working still. It's possible GoDaddy has changed that mail server's address. After having used this "solution" for almost a year now, I can say that it works most of the time as far as pushing emails immediately to my phone as soon as they hit the mail server. What I've noticed is that when I'm on 3G, it will work as it should all the time, but sometimes when I get back to work and connect to the office wifi, my emails will only arrive at the set polling intervals.
My settings are as follows:
Incoming Mail
Username: user@domain.com
Pass: ************
IMAP Server: 97.74.135.193
Security: SSL (always)
Authentication: Plain
Port: 993
Auto-detect IMAP namespace: (checked)
Show only subscribed folders: (unchecked)

Outgoing Mail

Thank you for this, I am on my way off the work so ill have to check the actual settings again at lunch but so far with the same server, im not getting push, still taking 15 or 30 minutes to receive even though i have check intervals at 15 minutes.
Should i be talking to aqua mail or godaddy or both?
this is boggling my mind.
I hear ya, it sucks and it's frustrating. Like I mentioned before, I'm using the 97.74.135.193 address right now at work and I can tell my emails are being pushed correctly because I'm receiving them within a minute of the "sent" time stamp and well before the email is picked up on Outlook on my desktop.
I haven't used aqua mail before, so I couldn't tell you how to get in touch with some support staff. I can tell you it was a hassle to get in touch with the K-9 devs and ended up taking a month or two and multiple emails before I got a response. Best of luck trying to get an answer from GoDaddy. I tried calling support with zero luck and started making some noise in the forums about it (http://support.godaddy.com/groups/email/forum/topic/imap-email-not-being-pushed-to-phones/) with no luck. Ultimately, GoDaddy says they don't support IMAP Push/Idle function, even though it had worked consistently for about a year and now only works intermittently. Let me know if you have further success or find something new that works.

so you are using the paid version of the K-9 email app correct?
I will give that a try because aquamail is not working like that, i am receiving emails when my app checks in 15 minute intervals, but i dont want the phone to keep checking like that
UPDATE**************
EVeryone use Kaiten, i wasted money on Aquamail, doesnt work properly, Kaiten just pushed, will try again and report throughout next couple days, but first email pushed right away!
I am so happy, thank you AwkwardBarnacle for all your help!
I'm currently using the free version of K-9 Mail (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fsck.k9&hl=en), which is without a doubt the best mail app I've come across. I've used several different hosts on this app and the only one that doesn't always push mail as it should is GoDaddy. I would definitely recommend trying it out. The link up there is for the marketplace app, but you can download the newest updates from the developers' page: https://code.google.com/p/k9mail/downloads/list
I'm currently using 4.508 and it's totally stable. Haven't run across any problems yet.

Interesting, for me, both k-9 and aquamail did not work for godaddy push email, but kaiten seems to be working "eventhough godaddy doesnt support" I dont know what is right anymore, but all i know is i press the button on my computer and send a test email from my gmail account and i hear my phone beep before i lift my phone off my mouse (well within 2-4 seconds.) Aquamail and k-9 were not able to do it. maybe i wasnt getting the settings right for k-9, but i definitely didnt have to do anything with kaiten, worked immediately. Plus the UI for kaiten is much cleaner than K-9 and aquamail is just awful and hard to read.
**UPDATE***
k-9 does work with the server as awkwardbarnacle suggested, it was not working before when i was using the imap.secureserver.net that is listed in godaddy support and what they recommend over the phone.
aquamail is confirmed to NOT work however, even with the new server configuration. so its up to user preference. between kaiten and k-9, both work.
I have been a bberry user my whole life. With the writing seemingly on the wall for bberry, Note 2 seemed like the ideal device for me -- I quite like its size, I feel that helps mitigate the loss of the physical keyboard. But I primarily use Yahoo! email and I was in for a shock when I made the switch.
It appears that there is (i) no way to push Yahoo email to the basic mail app in Android and (ii) the new Android operating system sets the shortest sync time at an agonizing 15 minutes (compared to what I believe is 5 in prior versions). After many ring around the rosy calls, with some tech people saying "well the emails should still arrive on their own relatively quickly" it seems like it has now been confirmed that it only will sync every 15 minutes (sometimes not even that if device is idling), unless I force the sync. I want a smartphone that tells ME when I have mail, not the other way around.
I've downloaded the Yahoo mail app for Android, but it is kind of crap a BIG step down from being used to using email on a bberry.
Frankly, I am very, very strongly considering chucking this and going back to my Torch. While the Note probably does everything else a lot better than a year old bberry device, and their next model will probably still be way behind the Galaxies and iPhones, email is the most important thing in a phone to me and bberry seems to blow these devices out of the water.
Or I could switch my primary email -- but I've been happily using Yahoo! for nearly 15 years.
Anyone have thoughts/advice? Am I somehow wrong in the above? Are there better options? I was so looking forward to this new device, and now I'm mostly bitterly disappointed -- feeling I have to sacrifice the most important primary function for all the internet/camera/social media bells and whistles.
Thoughs/comments/advice appreciated. I've only ever had a bberry until yesterday (though I do have an iPad and Yahoo email works just fine there).
I had the quite similar problem before, i mean I didn't get my emails quickly on my Note 2, i wondered why. But then I realized that I have the same yahoo email account set up on my iPhone and on that iPhone my emails still arrived so very quickly. Then I deleted my yahoo mail account on the iPhone and changed it to other yahoo email account so that my primary yahoo email account is only set up on my Note 2, since then my emails arrived quickly on my Note 2 and no more problem.
Just wondering maybe you have not deleted yr yahoo account on yr bberry ?
I have been using the yahoo mail app for over two years. Its development has been slow but right now it's working fine for me.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
If you want push then you need to set up the Yahoo account manually via the option Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync for the stock email app.
And yes, the Yahoo mail app for Android is crap indeed.
Sent from my GT-N7100
For many years in the early/mid 2000's Yahoo Mail was the only service that offered push to Blackberry. It was the defacto push offering in the marketplace.
I set mine up manually through the Active Sync settings and now its push. I struggled on and off for years with that Yahoo Mail app on my Hero/EVO/NexusS/GalaxyNexus and I gave up. Some updates would trash the app and it would be a quarter till they released a fix. I'd avoid it if I were you.
