I've added the account but email only downloads when i click on send and receive,
the enable microsoft direct push is on but it doesnt seem to have any effect.
any ideas?
gmail won't push to these devices using that method.
you gotta try seven.com or other alternatives...a search will turn up a lot more information, but seven is a push alternative that works
Got it working in the end.
Solution was fairly easy after all.
Thanks
how did you get it working? as far as i knew gmail doesn't offer a push service..?
Bit of lateral thinking in the end
I found out that Windows Mobile 6 supports Hotmail push email for free without any added software. It's built in to the operating system.
I simply set my Gmail account to auto forward all email to my hotmail account. It's an option within the settings.
Voila free gmail and hotmail pushed to my phone without any 3rd party software.
Well done.
I use SEVEN and it's a wonderful piece of software, best of all it's FREE and uses the in-built mail application on your phone. So it runs in the background and then the windows mail does the rest.

presently i'm also using seven to push my mail since mail2web started charging for its push services.i have only one problem with seven.i don't get any alert when i have new mail?do u? my notification for new email is one but nothing happens.hummm...
my only issue (and its only a minor one) with seven is that the message text preview normally shown on the mail envelope icon is no longer there - all it says is 'click to view message'.
Is there any fix for this?

i wished i found this thread earlier, so i didnt have to create one!
but i thought about doing what binning did, but its not a real solution, you can reply but your going to be replying with your hotmail account rather than your gmail account but you get all the messages
google did release sync, but right now its only calendar and contacts from what i know of, as of an actual email sync, i heard rumors theyre working on it, but lets hope they release it soon.
but another thought is, the only thing thats missing right now is the gmail push server. blackberry bypassed this by using their own BES but only restricted to BBs obviously.
lets keep our fingers crossed and hope that google will release a gmail sync!!!! =]
edit:
im also curious but havent had time to look into it, a couple of friends of mine have the g1, the g1 supports gmail push, but how can we wm users get this to work on OWA!! if g1 supports gmail push shouldnt it be possible for us? i mean like a standalone push service rather than having to forward or use a separate server like the BES?
is seven.com free? When I try to download it, it takes me to my country operator. The link then takes me to my country's website which charges me 15$ per month to use it? I already have a 5GB data plan, why am I going to be charged 15$ to use seven.com?

Look for the Beta program instead. That's where you'll find the free software download.
Thanks furrypotato(good nick). I figured it out.
Is it reliable? I noticed that sometimes ill get the email directly (testing by sending email from another account via PC). and sometimes I wont.
Also, the internet remains connected right?

Goto Windows live and click Options-> Sync Schedule and change 'Sync Frequnecy' to 'As items arrive'. DONE! You have push hotmail now.

If you find a way let me know. I have been looking for this option as well.
Another question, when you soft reset do u have to restart the windows live app or does it start by itself?
I just installed the official Froyo build. Unfortunately, it looks like multiple exchange accounts is not supported.
Do any of the other 2.2 roms (e.g., Sky Raidar) support multiple exchange accounts (preferably with sense - I actually like it)?
Also, assuming another ROM will work, what is the best way to flash the ROM without losing my settings. The official build updated without the need to wipe (only issue I found so far is I had to uninstall/reinstall swype). If I install another ROM, does titanium backup do a good job of restoring the phone's app and settings? (don't want to have to redo all my screens, etc).
Thanks
I've never known any device to sync multiple exchange accounts. But this is my first Android device coming from iPhone.
Unfortunately, the HTC Mail application in general does not allow for multiple exchange accounts...
Is there a way to get the non HTC stock mail application installed (or do any of the vanilla roms support multiple accounts)? Unfortunately, I assumed Froyo would enable multiple accounts (I am already using touchdown and the native support to get 2 accounts, but I have a few additional ones).
Thanks
You know what they say when you assume. My only recommendation would be using Touchdown which you already do. Depending on what you use your exchange accounts for (work or personal) you can setup some forwarding rules to have everything come into one spot. Only thing with that is it is against businesses policy (or it should be) to forward company property like that.
The stock Email.apk in /system/app from CM6 works fine on the incredible. The ONLY PROBLEM is that when you read an email from somewhere else, the notification is not removed from the status bar, and it stays there until you re-open the application. My only gripe.
Interesting. I am awaiting the OTA and use the stock 2.1 for accessing an exchange server. Hotmail is setup as a separate account. I heard Hotmail will go live this week with Activesync support, so will this mean I will have to choose which one I want, giving up one, beig hotmail obviously.
Thanks.
No just setup your Hotmail as POP or IMAP, whichever it supports.

How would I go about installing this? Is it as simple as installing other apps? I used the CM6 ROM for a couple weeks and loved it but random reboots forced me back to my previous ROM.

Hotmail doesn't support IMAP which is a large part of why people want to set it up as an activesync account. Pop just sucks...
It's sad that the HTC client doesn't support more than one activesync account, the Pre they gave me at works handles up to 8 I believe (have 3 currently setup on it).
That is not to say that the Pre's activesync implementation is better, I wish it would let me choose which parts of the account I want to sync rather than forcing an all or nothing approach, but it is nice to have real push email on all my accounts with it.
The Pre can sync tasks as well... I wish HTC would implement this.
Has anyone figured out an acceptable work-around that doesn't involve non-working notifications or paying for touchdown?

Improved Email App
I installed Improved Email from the marketplace. It supports multiple Exchange accounts and syncs email, calendar and contacts.
Hi,
I'm planning on buying Galaxy Nexus but since I've never had pure Google phone I don't know does it have a separate email app (except Gmail) with Exchange support. Anyone care to enlighten me?
Thanks

The email app supports Exchange ActiveSync. Exchange administrators can also do things like remote wipe of android phones.

Most versions of android don't support HTML email on exchange 2003. Touchdown and iOS do so it is possible. Lets hope ICS supports HTML exchange email on that server.
I use Enhanced Email. It lets me bypass my works security requirements. No PIN and no remote wipe.

Does this definitely work on Glaxy Nexus? I thought it was built for older Android versions?
It doesn't work yet on ICS, but the developer has it working already, he just hasn't released the update yet. I downloaded the trial version, but it force closes.
I found the link for the trial and the change login his support forum (link below)

Calendar does sync in tablet fwiw
The standard email client on the Galaxy Nexus works just fine with exchange, including calendar sync and html mail.

Clarification: Enhanced Email does not bypass all security, just the pin lock requirement.
My corporate IT is not granted Admin Remote Wipe and other lock and restrictions overrides when using EE
Am I just not seeing it? Can you extend the time before your screen locks? Not the display timeout. I have to input my pin every single time I unlock my phone.

ICS is the first version of Android to be fully Exchange ActiveSync compliant. All this means it is supports every security and remote management features of Exchange 2010. (EAS 14.1)
Does anyone get notification for native exchange email on ICS?
I've setup folders under my Inbox, and I don't get any notification when email arrives. I've setup individual sync option on multiple folders.
This was working fine on My N1 running CM7 which is Gingerbread
The stock email app works fine with exchange for me
Camera disabled? False policy info?
Our Exchange Admin can't figure this one out.. He does NOT have any policy to disable camera's yet at initial account creation to our ActiveSync server it tries to push a security profile to turn off camera's and set a bunch of other stuff that our Admin swears is not being set. He even gave me remote control of our Exchange server to verify I was on a default policy and the default policy had none of these restrictions.
REALLY odd - as Touchdown is just seeing the policy he has set and not trying to set other items. Having to use Touchdown now - though now the Touchdown HD beta supports ICS now. Finding their push to be less battery intensive than the built in app when I used it for 2 days (with my camera disabled to actually get to test it)

Go to settings security, automatically lock and change to whatever max is allowed by the exchange security settings...
Sorry for a stupid question.
Is it possible to install active sync on my work notebook (WinXP) and sync it with my GNex via cable? Similar to what I was used with my Window phone 2 years ago.
I've been using touchdown for some while and it synced via our outlook web access, which has been disabled now. So I am trying to figure out a way to sync calender and tasks again. I don't care about Emails.
we are not allowed to install google sync (or w/e it is called). they even took our admin rights on our working notebooks. MS Active Sync, however, is a approved software which could be installed by our IT.
Any ideas/thoughts? thx

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?

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.
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.
