i successfully set up my hotmail in my X1, set the sync frequency to As Items Arrive, intending to activate push mail.
but now everytime i have new mail, i am not notified at all, not even showing of the numbers of new mails in the Today Screen.
i still need to manually go Menu > Send/Receive to update my mailbox.
any1 got solution or what application i need install?
thanks
yes: GMAIL lol
This would be a workaround, but it would work.
1. Create a Gmail account.
2. Forward your Hotmail to Gmail.
3. Set up your Gmail so that you can reply using your Hotmail account. (yeah you can do that...nifty eh?)
4. Go to your Outlook on your phone and set up "gmail-sync" as your push mail account to retrieve from. It's in beta right now but is working 100% perfectly on my Kaiser. (I'm in here because I'm getting a SEX1 in a couple days ) I frickin' LOVE IT - it pushes IMMEDIATELY as soon as the mail comes in. Instructions here:
http://www.google.com/mobile/products/sync.html#p=winmo
5. Now all your e-mails will be stored to your phone permanently too, instead of the inbox getting wiped every time you send receive, or whenever you have your timing set up for that.
6. Forget about Hotmail and start using Gmail lol. Just kidding...but if you set it up that way, you can still use your Hotmail completely, Gmail will be practically invisible to you. (Or is it the other way around? lol)
Seriously, Google's free push e-mail service is amaaazing. I am LOVING it.
ohhh pls tell me how to fwd mails
in aol /hotmail pls
Syncing frequency to As Items Arrive works perfectly for me.
I confirm that both hotmail and gmail works as a push mail on my XPERIA.
For hotmail, you can just use windows live connection setup and choose/set "as items arrive" and set the time as "always". For gmail, you can use the activesync feature on outlook mobile as have been told by deezy7 above.
Or else, you can use the feature from Emoze service.
hi all.
thanks for ur advices.
i did add my hotmail using the Windows Live program, did set to "as items arrive" and did set for "always"
but nothing ever appear in my pjone for new mail unless i do it manually using "send/receive"
i prefer to use my hotmail acc ley.
any1 pls help mi.
thanks

I just set this up and it works Thank u for an explanation
But I have a question. Now only one of my mail accounts deliver mail. Is there an option to set more e-mail accounts to use push mail feature ?
If so how to do it ?

If you would like to have a free account for push mail service you should try Emoze. I have been playing with Emoze and honestly it helps me much to get my XPERIA have numerous mail account which works as a push mail ....
Ok, I did some workaround, created another gmail account and forwarded all my accounts to that one, and I receiving only that one.
Maybe not the best solution , but I prefer not to use online services like mobipush and such where u leave them your user name and password for each account u have...
As an alternative to Emoze i use Seven Beta. It provides near realtime push on most types of account.

Hey icbicb, in response to your other question as well, my suggestion would have been to do what you already did, which is create another gmail acccount I also prefer not to use any other online services, and was very happy when Google came out with Gmail Sync, since I've already been using my gmail account for five years, and don't have to give out sensitive information to yet another company
To those here using other services, I'd suggest you give Gmail Sync a try. Deedee, I noticed you said that Seven Beta provides you with near realtime push. I've noticed with Gmail Sync, and having my Gmail open at the same time on my pc at work, that Gmail Sync pushes in actual realtime! I'll hear the notification on my phone first before my page refreshes to show me my new e-mail! Also, I should mention that I am using gmail plug-ins to autoupdate the screen when new e-mails come in, and the Gmail sync sends them to my phone simultaneously or even before my page refreshes, thus, I know that it is actual real-time. Just like blackberry's service! I'm in love with it right now
icbicb, I'm glad it's working out for you , loyjwe I hope you are able to give this a try...
it's a good solution, but if i transfert the mail from hotmail to gmail they will be of the hotmail box...
And it's a probleme for me...
do you have a solution for that
(excus me for my bad english)
Big advantage of Seven Beta is that it works for almost all POP3/IMAP email systems and it keeps all the accounts separate so that replies from your PPC keep the correct return address.
I have it working on Gmail x 2, Hotmail and a POP3 account and all four accounts are independant of each other.
I said near real time sync as i didn't want to claim real time in case it wasn't. I rarely use the web interface since starting Seven so haven't been in a position to check. As i tell the BB users at work if you have time to compare the two delivery times then maybe you don't need a BB.

Hi titeloo...bad english is okay lol, but, I don't really understand what you mean by "they will be of the hotmail box..." need further explanation!!
@Deedee, gmail does that also....so... for example, when you get mail forwarded to your gmail account, if it was originally sent to your hotmail account, when you reply on the phone, it will reply from the hotmail account. Gmail's set up pretty good that way. I believe right now though they have a limit on the number of accounts you can send mail from, not sure if it is 3 or 4. So it's pretty neat that Seven Beta keeps all accounts separate ...btw very nice avatar
Seven is only restricted by the number of accounts that can be set up in WM, think it's 8 in total, that includes your ActiveSync/Exchange and SMS accounts.
Thanks for the compliment. Always prefer to use real piccies for avatars where practical.
Hey All,
Had the desire for a couple of weeks now and I must say I'm impressed with it, as most of you are as well.
I've come across the following very irritating problem though:
My primary e-mail address is hotmail. Been using it for years and years and I've never had the need to change to gmail. Having switched to android now I understand that I can't sync the phone to hotmail. I have it working on pop which is 'fine' but I want proper syncing of mail and calendars which is not supported.
Fair enough, I thought this was the time I'm supposed to switch to gmail. When I booted the phone up for the first time I was asked for a gmail account for google maps, etc. and I just used one I had created a while back. Now that I'm looking to migrate to gmail completely in order to benefit from syncing, etc. I want to change this e-mail address to another gmail one.
Has anyone managed to do this without doing a factory reset on the desire??
I've tried:
i. Changing the gmail password from a pc and rebooting the phone - it just says it failed to sign in and prompts for the new password, won't let you change e-mail address though.
ii. Clearing all cache's from google related application - gtalk, gmail, maps, gapps, etc. - This doesn't work either as somehow the account information is still held.
iii. Creating a secondary e-mail address and try get everything to use it instead then remove the primary one - didn't manage either. I changed google maps, gmail and the calendar app to use the new e-mail address but it still won't let me delete the other one as it says it's being used by some other app!
Any help would be much appreciated... I really don't feel like going through a factory reset and installing everything again!
Thanks!
Go to "Menu" - "Settings" - "Accounts & Sync", tap on the Google account en tap on "Remove account". (Go back to all accounts and you can add a new Google account.)

On this subject, my advice to anyone is to get their own domain name and then use Google Apps for Domains.
At present this is what I do for my email, but if in a few years time something better than Gmail comes along, chances are I can repoint my domain to a new mail service and thus keep my email address in perpetuity.
Regards,
Dave

Forgot to mention I tried this as well but it won't let me remove it as it says the account is being used by some application
Really frustrating!
I got this same problem as this old post, but can not find the solution....does anyone know the answer as time has moved on and maybe it is an available solution.
My issue is that I just flashed LeeDrOid 2.3b&c to my Desire. I entered my HOTMAIL e-mail details as the first address at the set up prompt. Now i can not findout how to delete that account.
It seems that the whole Android E-mail setup and operation is not really as good as Windows Mobile! or its operator error ;-)
For my Sync'd HOTMAIL I'm currently using TouchDown and set the server name to 'm.hotmail.com' this thirdparty software allows full syncronisation to my Hotmail account both ways including any folders that i choose, apart from the deleted bin on my Webmail does not get emptied if i delete all from the TouchDown application on my Desire.
On my Gmail i have created my account in the Exchange option and used m.gmail.com for the server, whilst this gives me a view of all the account folders all of them show "no mail" even though i have set the Receive days to 30 days and know that I have e-mails in the folders that are newer than 30 days old.
I really would like a fully operational integrated IMAP set up for both my Gmail accounts (i have 2 account) and one HOTMAIL account, ideally using the built in Gmail and "standard Mail" programs that come with FROYO Sense.
So anyone know the answer to achieving this?
i) How to delete my original Hotmail account entered on start up of my new ROM.
ii) Is it possible to set up withing the Sense builtin applications for Exchange Gmail and also for Exchange Hotmail so that i can do away with hte TouchDown application?
Thanx for any assistance on this.
so just wondering what email apps people are using and which ones they prefer. Now that hotmail has released exchange activesync support, im lookin for the best exchange email app, im currently using the stock android email app. Bit dissappointed that there is no unread counter widget for the this similar to sms.

Have a look at K-9 mail, it does support exchange. You might also want to take a look at Pure Messenger widget also.
i am also using k-9 since it has imap idle (push mail)
TouchDown - best app for exchange
K-9 didn't worked with my work exchange
Unfortunately, K-9 doesn’t currently work with Hotmail Exchange active sync.
I agree with the op, anyone know of a good email application for Android?
Ideally this is what I would like out of the mail application.
1. To support Hotmail Exchange Active Sync
2. To Support Multiple Exchange accounts including G-Mail
3. To support push email over certain times
4. To allow synchronising of all emails not just one moth
5. To allow the ability to move emails to different folders
6. To be able to create, delete and rename folders
7. To be able to view HTML emails properly
8. To be able to download attachments
9. To have a home page widget that counts unread emails
Hope some bright spark reads this and can either point us in the right direction or create an app that does this.
I am getting duplicate entries in the calendar from my exchange accounts. Is this a known problem and is there a fix?
I have tried deleting the calendar storage and removing then re adding the accounts.
thanks
I have the same issue ... I thought it was because I switched time zones but can't confirm that.

I had that problem once before on my old epic. If I remember correctly it was because I had 2 accounts synced to my phone, Google and Yahoo? Now I just sync everything to Google only. I was also getting duplicated in contacts.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
I think it is a problem with the S3 calendar app or the exchange sync. I have synced the same accounts on other android phones and have not had any issues with duplicate calendar entries. I sync my work exchange account and a hotmail account. This gives me my work and personal calendars. I only sync contacts from my hotmail account. I do not want to use google since I already have everything setup on my other accounts.
I will try doing some reconfiguring of the accounts tonight. I will post an update if I find anything interesting.
Re-Duplicate Calendar/Contacts entries from Exchange Server
Last week my S3 started duplicating both calendar and contact entries. This only occurs on my Exchange work email. I can clear out my contact and calendar storage and then resynch and it will be fine for a few hours. Then i will get duplicate entries. I did not reset my storage after seeing the duplicates today and now a third set of the same entries are showing up. Very frustrating. I have uninstalled the apps I've loaded in the last week.
I was rooted and had not downloaded any upgrades when this started. Yesterday I went back to the stock rom thinking that was the problem. It is still happening after I reset to stock ROM and downloaded the available upgrades.
This is very frustrating and it is odd that this started recently. Maybe something changed with corporate exchange servers in the last couple of weeks that caused this conflict.
Looking forward to a resolution.
I have the same problem. Now I have 8 times every contact and calendar entry. When I delete the account is working for some hours and then start dublicating as well. I have 2 exchange accounts, my corporate that I sync everything and my hotmail that sync only email.
I now only have one exchange calendar syncing and I am still getting duplicates. I have tried to reproduce the duplication by restarting and re-syncing but neither one created duplicates manually. Next I am going to remove all of my accounts, delete all the calendar & contact storage then add back one account. I will run wiht only the one account for a day to see what happens
Solution (At least working for a day now)
I was getting duplicates every few hours and now I am 1 full day without. Here is what I did:
1. I deleted all of my Exchange ActiveSync type accounts. I had three mail accounts using the exchange option : Corporate, Gmail and Hotmail
2. Went to Task Manager and View All processes and Find the Calendar and Contact storage apps and cleared the data.
3. Setup my Corporate account using Exchange ActiveSync
4. Setup synch for Gmail using the Google Account
5. Setup Hotmail with the Hotmail app.
(Dont like Gmail and Hotmail separated, because I enjoyed having all emails in a combined view)
Doesnt seem to make sense, why this has started happening in the last couple of weeks, because I had this setup since I setup the phone the end of June.

I'm going to try this method and see if it works out. I too, had 2 Exchange ActiveSync email accounts associated with my stock email client (Corporate and Hotmail) But I'm going to try and set up the Hotmail account as a POP3 this time and see if that alleviates the multiple calendar entry catastrophe!
I made some progress in my testing. Here is what I did.
First test
1. Removed all accounts using the default email client.
2. Cleared all data for calendar and contacts
3. Restarted phone
4. Only setup one account using exchange and synced mail, calendar and contacts using default email client
5. No duplicates after 3 days.
Second test
1. Removed all accounts using the default email client.
2. Cleared all data for calendar and contacts
3. Restarted phone
4. Setup two account using exchange and synced mail, calendar and contacts using default email client
5. After the first day I started getting duplicates in the calendar and contacts.
Third test
1. Removed all accounts using the default email client.
2. Cleared all data for calendar and contacts
3. Restarted phone
4. Setup one account using exchange and synced mail and calendar using default email
5. Setup one account using exchange and synced mail, calendar and contacts using Enhanced Email
6. After the first day I started getting duplicates in the calendar and contacts.
Fourth Test
1. Removed all accounts using the default email client.
2. Cleared all data for calendar and contacts
3. Restarted phone
4. Setup up my Office Exchange (Sync mail & calendar), Hotmail (Sync mail, contacts, & calendar), and Live (Sync mail) accounts. All accounts are setup as exchange accounts using Enhanced Email.
5. Now after two days there are no duplicates in either the calendar or contacts.
I dont if Enhanced Email syncs differently than the default email client. I believe that there is a problem with the default email syncing process. I never had this problem with my Gingerbread phones.
duplicate appointments and contacts
The duplicating calendar and contacts problem was driving me crazy as well. It just seemed to keep getting worse with more and more duplicates as time went by.
I could remove the duplicates by removing my Exchange account and then re-adding it back in, but the duplicates would show up again hours later.
I removed/added my exchange account a bunch of times, and each time the duplicates came back... except this last time.
The only thing I did different this last time (that I know of) was goto: Settings, then Backup and Reset, and uncheck "Back up my data". Then I removed/added Exchange.
Since doing this, I have had no more duplicating appointments or contacts. It has been several days, maybe a week now.

Workaround: Google Calendar sync option
I had the same issue on my Galaxy S2 Skyrocket. I removed my Exchange Server account -> Synced calendar -> Made sure the Exchange entries were gone from Calendar -> Install Google Calendar Sync in your PC that has the exchange server and do the 1-way sync option from Exchange to Google -> Resync Google Calendar on phone -> Add Exchange Server account on phone.
This is a roundabout method to remove duplicate entries but it works great for me and should do so for you as well. There is a one-time setup of Google Calendar sync on your PC and that's about it.

Can you please point me to the difference in setting up via default email client vs setting it up using Enhanced Email?
My Father-in-law has his gmail account and a Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync account (for work) syncing on his GS3 and is getting duplicate events from the Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync account. I'm trying to help him remove those duplicate entries. Apparently his IT guy at work setup the ActiveSync account and he didn't know how to set it up, so I couldn't remove and add it back.
I'm just not sure how I should tell him to set it up differently this time. Note: I saw the item to remove the check mark for backing up items. Did that work for you as well?
Solution I found that works for my HTC Android
opened my Droid's Calendar,
then touched Menu button,
then "More",
then unchecked the box next to Calendar,
and checked only the calendar I want to sync and show (Exchange)
waited for everything to clear itself out.
done / fixed.
Why I don't have Exchange on my droid?! I have the same problem: duplicate calendar entries. I simply use S2 (Jelly bean) and my default gmail account and its calendar! nothing more. but there are many duplicates. I can't see exchange in my calendar list
I just received my Pixel 6 Pro yesterday and am having problems trying to connect my Outlook.com account, where I have my Contacts and Calendar, to the phone. I am able to use the Outlook app with them, but I would like them to sync with the native Android Calendar and Contacts apps, like I have done on all my other Android phones.
My last phone, Samsung S9, had an Exchange Activesync type account which I used. The Pixel 6 doesn't seem to have that. I've found on Microsoft and Google web sites that I should be able to use Exchange type, and found the Outlook.com Incoming/Outgoing server and port information, but always get an error that the connection couldn't be made when I try to connect after entering these.
I'm mystified. Since I'm using Google Messages, in the past my contact names showed up instead of phone numbers. Now all my text history is just showing the phone numbers again. Frustrating.
If anyone has successfully synced these to the native apps, or knows what to do, I'd appreciate hearing from you.
Thanks
I know there's another thread about this subject in this section. I think there were some proposed solutions (I don't use Outlook.com, so I don't have any suggestions).
i have an outlook.com account (using office365 w/passwordless setup) and i have to go to "account microsoft com" to get a onetime app password in order to add an Exchange/Office365 account to GMail. once logged into my microsoft account, i navigate to Security->Additional Security options->scroll down to App passwords, then select the Create a new password link to get a password. i can sync, contacts, calendar, tasks and email using the Push option.
my feedback is based on the OP mentioning use of an "exchange type account".
I have managed to resolve this. I was finally able to create an Exchange account doing exactly what I had been doing and it finally worked. It's always a challenge to sync to Outlook.com whenever I get a new phone. Now I can go ahead and learn about the Pixel 6 Pro.

AFAIK, Outlook, whether the desktop or mobile app, auto configures Microsoft accounts as limited exchange accounts (Microsoft switched its public email over to Exchange around a decade ago) and generally there is no benefit to manually configuring them as Exchange accounts since it's not possible to enable the features a normal Exchange account would have.

If you also use the Outlook desktop app, or want a no hassle sync between Microsoft and Google accounts, you may find CompanionLink sync software a more efficient method to sync calendars, contacts, tasks, etc. between your Outlook and Google accounts. CompanionLink offers a range of dual service sync solutions, as well as CompanionLink Pro that includes all of them.
