I know this is not the place to ask this question, but you guys are experts and I would think you would have the best answer to this question. I need an email client for an IMAP server with TLS...actually it's a Cyrus IMAP server running on SuSE 9.0. Outlook is alright, but I can't just send an email, rather I have to send and receive at the same time. I've tried WebIS mail, but it seems to be really slow.
What are you folks using?
Thanks,
Tom

So I have it working. I setup a Rule not to download mail over 2 days old, but it still wants to download my 3300+ emails in my IMAP Inbox. I've read the manual, but can't figure out how to overcome this. Any thoughts? If you want to PM me, feel free.
Tom
Use WEbIS mail 2.11 or Q Mail.....I use Q-Mail....it is the best.....tried Profimail but no good as compared to these.
Hi
As we seem to have warmed up the mail topic is there any solution to an old problem of mine?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=80049#80049
MDAIIIUser,
A simple solution to your problem is a carrier pigeon. Hahahahaha. oooh, too much coffee.
I found that an IMAP email service works best. I use linuxmail.org. If offers great spam filtering (sometimes too good) and since they offer IMAP as well as POP (which I never use) I can get the same mail at my office, home, PDA, brother's house, guest computer....anywhere. Dump the activesync and outlook/smtp idea and try imap. Linuxmail.org, also has the ability to check POP servers for mail.
I just thought having an imap server might work better for you than regular POP. Linuxmail.org is $25/year, but I'm sure there are others.
Tom
Tom
Do I read you in the way that linuxmail.org will pick up my mail at pop.mypopmail.com and I will pick up this mail from them, thus I keep [email protected].
You see I am not looking for a [email protected]
dig ? or was that to short?

Oh, I dig Honeybunny. I'm totally down with that. Yo, yo... (I really need to stop drinking so much coffee).
Linuxmail.org (or others...I just run Linux hence my reason for this) can go out, pick up my email from gmail, yahoo, (not sure about hotmail...rememeber linux-user) and put it into my Linuxmail account. Since you're using an STMP account from say, Google, you can always sendmail thru that service. Check on Linuxmail, send on Google. The only downside with that is you won't be able to keep a copy of your sent mail on your IMAP.
This company looks pretty good too: http://1300.runbox.com/ I might test them out, but I don't want to ditch my linuxmail account. Take a look at them.
Tom
One other quick note...for work, we have an IMAP server and I have a Tmobile account for email as well. When I'm traveling (I'll be in the UK June 19th if anyone wants to get together) I can get email from my IMAP server and I will send via my Tmobile account. Tmo has a feature where you specify your email (say, acme.com) and when I send mail on my i-mate it goes thru the Tmo service, but you would see it as [email protected] instead of [email protected]. Its pretty cool.
I'm not too keen on Messaging because it won't allow me to send without receiving first....which is just really, really stupid. I use WebIS Mail to just shoot out an email to someone via the Tmo service. WebIS Mail has got it's own set of issues that I'm trying to deal with now.
Food for thought. Feel free to PM me if you want. I can call ya too.
Tom
hmmmm, I have solved it in a different way ...
mostly due to often accessing my mail from different locations and at the same time willing to keep my mail in one place safe, easy for download ...... I decided to invest in piece of hardware called Linux based Toshiba Magnia SG20 being among other very clever email server for both POP3 and IMAP mail service, ok it was an expense .... but finally now I can access my mail from virtually everywhere and have my mail traffic and storage off the computer I currently use, I can download necessary mail and respond easily, synchronization is no longer an issue with WebIS Mail ;-))
I made my work's IMAP server from an PIII800, 40GB drive, and 1GB RAM. I installed SuSE 9.0 and Cyrus IMAP, Postfix, spamassassin, Sendmail, etc... Cost=$90 and I can access it from anywhere in the world. The computer was an employee's computer which was upgraded. I was going to toss it, but decided to make a mailserver out of it. SuSE was already installed on my work computer, so it really didn't cost me much.
I have to admit, the Toshiba looks interesting. Too bad they don't make it anymore.
While I can take a new Mini Mac and do the same thing for about $500 on a personal level, it's really not worth spending that much time for a personal email server. I'm happy with third party providers.
WebIS is still not running well, so I dumped it and I'm sticking with Messaging. I tried ProfiMail and that had some drawbacks as well.
Tom
Boys and thier toys, 1 gig memory, bit of overkill or not. <Grin>.
Sure its a solution, ms exchange with active sync would work fine for me to, oh yes and my own domain, mx record and a fix ip.... but...
Not all of use are teck heads. No offence but should there not be a solution for say USD 29.95.
Anyway Webis lets you move sent items to a different folder (as in to the active sync folder). Now will have to play with that, work out how to set webis as default mail app. I have now set up up a pop account/folder and that option has gone. Find my sms and waste a lot of time to end up junking it. Oh well what else to do untill a new rom comes out. Still think it sucks unless you are a corparate user with all that nice infra.
Thanks tom
Could someone recommend me an email client that does imap and it's posibble to set on which days of the week from when till when and how often to check for mail automatically?

Instead of a fixed IP, you could run DynDNS like I do. It tracks your current IP and reroutes everything to your computer. I have cable internet, so my IP changes every couple months, or after a power outage. Your DNS and MX would point to DynDNS and DynDNS would route folks to you. It's a pretty sweet setup.

I completely agree...about the tech heads. Someone should make something more simple, but I think the expense would be too high since it entails a complete computer system. Linux has an email server built into it while Windows does not, but then you have downsides to using Linux as well.

I rarely use Activesync so setting up my email for that is pointless. When I want to send an email, I want to send it now...not when I can get to my computer to run activesync. You should try finding a email company that has an IMAP server. Once you have that, you'll never want POP again.

If you're talking about doing it on your pda, it's not going to happen. You can set email programs to check every x minutes, but that's about it. If you have your gprs on 24 hours a day, then it might be possible, but otherwise I don't see this as an option with the 3 email programs I've played with (Messaging, WebIS Mail, ProfiMail).
Tom
Ok, so I up the e-mail stream without a paddle.
BTW, The Activesyn I only use to get the contents of my mail box of my Laptop and on to my device. I send mail over wifi on the pop acoount (then have to copy the sent item to the activesycn folder, then sync to get it on the laptop)
I was aware about the DynDNS, won't help my much live between to families, two households and the only thing fixed in my life is the tel number of my Phone and the fact I have a laptop, so no space for hardware that cant be baged in a minute.
So Looks like I need to get my own mymail.com address and some hosting that gives me IMAP.
With all that done still have not found a good E-mail client. (q-mail?)
What was the thread on that subject ???? <GRIN>
Email anytiMe is possible.
yes! Download email any day and anytime without gprs on is possible. Use npop freeware and set it to download email upon execution theN use powerstart Shareware to schedule it to exeCute npop at any day and what time as you like. it will Connect gprs then download then disconnect, perfect!
testdebug
Googled Powerstart and got to many hits, have a homepage were I read what the app does? Found npop.
testdebug,
Keep in mind the question was IMAP, not POP. Will it work on IMAP?
Thanks,

Hello all,
I need to have instant notification of my emails and thought the only way was Blackberry until I heard of Push Email.
I have a K-Jam with the latest imate os. I've read that this version has push email with it but cant see it in the programs or anything.
What do I need to install etc to recieve emails from my ISP. What backend setup do I need? I have a pop 3 account that is web based too and i am on the O2 network in the UK
Thanks for your help guys.

Hi,
Push Email (or "DirectPush" as Microsoft seem to call it) only works in conjuction with an Exchange server I'm afraid. It doesn't work with POP3 boxes.
There are probably some companies offering POP3-->Exchange services for people like yourself wanting push email who don't have Exchange (or there will likely be some) but I don't personally know of any at the moment.
DirectPush works by connecting to an HTTP server (Exchange) and keeping the connection open/idle until something changes then a ActiveSync is performed. The POP3 protocol simply doesn't have anything to allow you to keep it open without sending something constant to keep it alive which would seriously add up on the traffic.
thanks xanth
I'm actually gonna have an Exchange Server 2003 soon. I read that I need SP2 installed aswell
Where do I go from there then? ie configuring my k-jam.
Configuring the mobile devices themselves isn't particularly hard. When you set up the sync instead of syncing with Outlook you specify with an Exchange server and just follow the prompts. It seems to connect/realise DirectPush (SP2) is available and that's it. You configure the schedule... and away it goes.
I found setting up the server was the hardest part. Well not hard, just more time consuming. You'll want/need to create you own SSL certificate (which will need installing on the device) unless you're purchasing a commercial one and configure the IIS timeout value (I'm still experimenting with this one) and then finally actually turn on DirectPush from System Manager. I think that was pretty much it though. Configuring Exchange etc in the first place takes more time than setting up push.
I'll have a pop and let you know..... thanks
I am trying out a commercial hosted exchange service (www.utica.nl) now.
This works very wel, but it has a price too: 5.95 euro per month for the lite package/
Push Email works very good.
As an alternative I am thinking about setting up my own exchange server and having my company-email and calendar forwarded to that one.
What do you advise to run exchange 2003 SP2:
- Windows version / SP?
- Hardware
(I am on a 20Mb down / 2Mb up broadband connection wich allows me to run servers, so there is no issue)
Well you'll need Windows 2000 or 2003 standard server or higher (won't run on a non-server platform), but see this link for full requirements:
http://www.microsoft.com/exchange/evaluation/sysreqs/2003.mspx
I am curious though, how will you forward Calendar events (and contacts?) from one system to another please? I'm not sure I'll ever want to do that, but certainly sounds like something worth knowing!
Cheers!
What would the GPRS cost be to have this open/idle connection active all day and night. Would it send check data every few minutes?
I only ask as my contract talk plan gives me 100KB of data a month for free but after that I pay in chunks.
Thanks
Ben
Here's a paper you cna read...
Mines seems to use between 6kb and 9kb an hour when idle. I wouldn't take that as a rule, just my personal experience. Obviously it goes up a lot more when the actual emails come in!
Wow that's a fantastic guide! Should be put on a new post/stickied or something! Thanks for the files!
Xanth,
That's like 5.5MB a month without a single email going over!
Guess I wont be switching it on then.
Thanks for your reply.
Ben
Well it could just be down to me having flakey service or something and it reconnecting a lot (I haven't noticed that though), but the 6 to 9 kbytes was from running GPRS Monitor and running a report and looking at the overnight hours where I know I didn't get any emails for hours on end.
Router settings
The other thing that is going to make a difference would be the setting on the server. The longer the session can be kept open between the router and the phone the least amount of data that will need to be transfered. For example 15 minutes seems a common amount of time to keep the line openm, at the end of those 15 minutes your phone will initiated a new connection i.e. traffic. Obviously the more often it does this the more traffic generated and the more power needed.
Can i push task or agenda items which are located on the public folders?

The reason you want push is to receive an e-mail sent to you IMMEDIATELY The problem I see with push mail is you can't really use forwarding between services because it adds delays that defeat the point of it. It is not essential to have Exchange but most current systems employ it
So you need to implement push using your current e-mail address and provider for best performance
For example if you use a specific e-mail address for all your mail that is what you need to access if you don't want to change your e-mail address
If your e-mail provider uses IMAP there is a solution. It started off fairly shakey but has got quite reliable - it's vgsmail (www.vgsmail.com\ppc)
It uses IMAP idle to connect to your current e-mail (assuming IMAP support) and WORKS
As said using this is the best way of avoiding changing e-mail address and low cost (just data costs) - uses 3or4MB a month just to work - but if you're using your pda for mail you need to be on a good tarriff --- say T-Mobile web'n'walk - soon to become ulimited.
It takes about 10-30 seconds from an e-mail being sent to my PDA notifying me --- all for a one off cost of $21

My hosted exchange trial gave e my answer: not gonna work the way I want it. The trouble is with the forwarding of calendar events (that what i want it for).
So setting up my own server will not bring any relief either.
Waiting for my company to support push or me getting a business Blackberry subscription.
Good to try anyway.
does anybody has any experience with this vgsmail stuff?
my e-mail provider supports imap and I could live with a delay of 30sec....
hi, Guys
I am using O2 XDAII unit now, and I am going to push an email to the XDAII thru GPRS. I've seen you guys' discussion above, it really gives me a clue to do the further research.
hi, Edsurb, Re: "Waiting for my company to support push or me getting a business Blackberry subscription", does it mean there are 2 ways to push an email?
(1) We can set an MS Exchange Server 2003 then do some setting in both Exchange server side and the XDA unit, I wonder if the XDA unit can get the email thru GPRS once after the email is sent, how long will it be delayed, how much it costs, it seems it is a way that the XDA unit checks the Exchange server periodically while not a true push, right?
(2) To get a blackberry subscription. Is it a true push? Can a XDAII unit get a blackberry subscription from O2 network?
Thanks a lot for your help!!!
I was looking for an app to do wireless syncing with my works groupwise server (their mobile server actually, which will communicate to the actual groupwise server). I found an app from omni:
http://www.omni-ts.com/mobile-groupwise/
But it has been discontinued after it was bought out. Has anyone done this? I know about the PDA connect software from novell, but I'd like to do it wirelessly over my data connection. Any ideas?
Good luck with that. We have Groupwise, and it was a pain to do.
We use software from Intellisync that does a good job though. I would check with your IT peeps and see if they suggest a software.
Novell has what they call "GroupWise Mobile Sync Server". Its essentially Nokia intellisync re-labled to work with GroupWise. Its a server which pushes a client to the PDA, then allows you to do wireless push. You have to set it up on either a dedicated server or your own machine. You have to have valid support contract with novell to get the license key. Also, it only works with GroupWise 7 and you have to have SOAP enabled on your post offices.
It took me a while to get it all working, but it works once its up and running. The push client integrates with the pocket outlook on the phone (meaning you can't have active sync at the same time), but it works pretty well.
Hope this help, drop me a pm if you'd like more details.
I'm very interested in any solutions you might have come up with on this. We use GW7 at my company, and I'd love to get my Tilt to sync with it wirelessly. Unfortunately, the corporate solution for this is Blackberry, and I don't rank high enough on the ladder to get a license on the BES server, so blackberry connect seems to be out.
I've tried the latest intellisync from their website, and successfully configured it to sync with my tilt through activesync. I enabled the 'push sync' feature, but I'm not sure how it's supposed to work, as it doesn't seem to have anything to keep the phone connected to the desktop app. The push sync says it's successful whenever the phone is connected thru activesync, but as soon as I disconnect the phone from the usb cable, push sync begins to fail every time it runs.
I've seen some pointers that cingular xpress mail supports (or once supported) groupwise, but it doesn't seem to offer that as an option when configuring the current version.
I can install outlook and use it as a client for groupwise, but that still doesn't do anything for the push sync aspect.
Suggestions?
Yes, you can do over the air push sync of everything (mail/calendar/contacts/etc), I have gotten it to work. The product is part of GroupWise support, so if you have a service contact with Novell, you can download the install and the product key. You need a dedicated sync box(I used Windows 2003 server box), which has a SOAP connection (a protocol which need to be enabled on each post office within the GroupWise system) to the main system. The configuration on the Window server is pretty straightforward, once you configure it and point it at the main GroupWise system - you should be able to push a client install to your phone via SMS. Here are some things to check:
- All post offices which should use MobileSync have SOAP protocol enabled (on unique ports)
- Firewall ports are forwarded/opened properly. You'll find these if you search the Novell Knowledgebase. I can pull my list if necessary.
- You have an SMTP server to relay for sending out SMS install links.
I'll try to help with more specific questions. Hope this helps.
Ahh, sounds like more than I was looking for. I was hoping for just a desktop redirector type app. Sounds like this is more of a company wide solution, rather than just something for one person.
I did get GW PDA connect working to sync with the tilt, so at least I don't have to pay for intellisync. (Especially now that it's a dead product now). I'm just not getting push sync, but I can live with that.
Morning,
I've looked high and low to find a resolution to this on the stock rom.
If someone is able to provide a work around without mentioning 3rd party apps like touchdown I would be very grateful. At work we run Exchange 2010 and there are a number of users with android based phones who are now left high and dry. Some are desires, some are nexus ones however I believe I am the only one running 2.2
I am open to putting a rom etc however would need concrete evidence that this is a genuine option and not a 'might work' scenario.
The IT team are also open to suggestions that would allow android phones to sync up without sacrificing corporate security.
How about using ActiveSync (the push mail)? I'm using Exchange 2007 with AS and this works fine, and I see no reason why it should not work with the 2010 version.
To setup go to Settings > Accounts & sync > Add account > Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync > Enter email address & password > Correct userID (DOMAIN\username) if necessary & modify AS url (is on the next screen) (also tick the use any certificate option) > done!
This has always worked fine for me on my N1 (even on Eclair). Keep in mind though that users will need 3G and/or WiFi on your network.
When using WiFi on your corporate network, make sure that the url you entered for the AS server has an appropriate A-record in your DNS-server pointing to the correct internal IP address.
For 3G, make sure you AS server is available on the public internet .
In my situation I'm using 1 URL as2007.mycompany.com which points to different IPs depending on what network I'm on (e.g. on the corporate wifi, it points to a 10.x.x.x address, but on my WiFi at home it points to the public IP on the internet)
hi grunthy,
I have definitely tried the activesync route and played with server ip's, webmail url, domain, username aliases etc and the errors are always 'unable to open connection to server' or failed to authenticate
Hi,
Of course a lot depends on your Exchange AS configuration. Myself I'm pretty sure the implementation on Android works, but you might have to import the certificate after all, as your Exchange AS server might not like the fact that Android 'ignores' the certificate.
The best thing you can do is check with your IT department what the exact requirements for AS access are. Maybe your account needs to be activated for it? They should also be able to provide you with the certificate if needed .
Good luck!
success!
we've got android and non WM users connecting via a different server url, basically (from what IT have told me) it's connecting directly to the exchange box which removes the need for some security protocals. Sub folders, calender sync, contact sync all works.
I don't know if I should better start a new thread, but I also have problems with our new Exchange 2010 and it fits into this conversation:
I get the same error-messages tyroneee describes.
Before we changed to Exchange 2010 we had 2003 and I didn't have any problems at all with syncing my phone. But now it no longer works.
I tried the way Gunthy` describes to add a new account, but these options don't exist in my menu!
Settings > Accounts & sync > Add account > NO Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync
I only have "Twitter", "Facebook", "GMail" and "Work" in this list.
When I select work (which is closest to what I want), I get told to enter Mail-Address and Password, on the next step the server address and domain and then it again fails to connect.
Is there anywhere a hidden tick which I have to activate on Froyo to enable active sync?

I don't know, it just does.
Other AS and Exchange servers are running without a problem, IMAP and POP too. Just Exchange 2010 is making errors.
Edit:
The IT noticed, that really something with my exchange mailbox isn't good anymore and they are now fixing it. So it should work in a few days ^^;
Froyo Exchange 2010 Fix
I am the Exchange administrator for the company I work for, and 3 days ago installed Exchange 2010. And Poof... no more Froyo Android devices work with the new system.
And so far, the ONLY fix I've found is to run this command against the server:
Remove-ActiveSyncMailboxPolicy -id Default
Provided default is the only ActiveSync policy, this leaves the system with NO policy, and then they all work..
Seeing as how I use a DROID with Froyo, I was able to figure it out. BUT, good luck getting your exchange administrator to leave this, seeing as how I have to find a better solution lest I end up using touchdown myself.

I have two ActiveSync exchange accounts I need to set up...one sets up fine (no domain) but the other continues to error out. They are the same settings I used on my Droid Charge for the two weeks I had it, the same settings I used on my G2 for the year I had it, and even works in Touchdown on the D3, but not on the standard software on the phone...
Anybody else successfully setup an exchange account with domain?

I set mine up with domain, as I did a thousand times on Tbolt. Piece of cake. Immediately go into manual of course and go from there. I have not set up two accounts however.
Are you using a self signed SSL certificate? I'm waiting back for official word from Motorola, but I think the Droid 3 doesn't support it, which makes no sense since every other droid has (and Android in general).
I fear for what Blur is going to do to this phone.
lol, the blur on this phone is better than any android skin or aosp... by far.... and i'm coming from a DX and hate blur.
I've had a droid since day one, I can't wait to get asop or cyanogen running on this. I love the hardware and speed of the phone, but after running cyanogen the last 1+ years, its hard to live with the stock moto blur
I agree, cant wait to get CM on this. The bloatware sucks, and although the phone is fast I know it would be a lot faster on CM....
for now though, I'm actually not annoyed with blur (yet)

Are you using a self signed SSL certificate? I'm waiting back for official word from Motorola, but I think the Droid 3 doesn't support it, which makes no sense since every other droid has (and Android in general).
I fear for what Blur is going to do to this phone.

I'm not sure, I just know that SSL is needed for the account settings to work, and that my account works fine in Touchdown, but when I set it up in the stock "email" app, it errors out. And yes, I'm connecting manually and inputting the correct server address...

Im getting the same issue, trying to load up my regular email account.
I manually put all the right values in, as I have in the desktop email program, thunderbird, to no avail.
Anyone got a clue what is wrong?
I was able to sync my work exchange account no problem, went pretty easy.
What are you guys trying to connect to?
Exchange Server ? Do you know what version?

Just my regular ISP's email account.
UPDATE: Went to my ISP's site for instructions. Seems on the android, Mediacom wants secure authentication to retrieve emails.
Thunderbird doesn't require that to log in, for some reason.
Touchdown, which works with this account on the D3 btw, says this:
Connection Mode: ActiveSync ONLY
"Uses SSL" and "Fetch and trust certificate (not recommended)" are both checked.
When I go to Refresh ActiveSync Settings in Touchdown it says:
Versions:Microsoft-IIS/7.0,1.0,2.0,2.1,2.5,12.0,12.1
Policies:SET
Again, this email account has been properly setup on:
Droid Charge running 2.2
T-Mobile G2 running CM7 and CM6
T-Mobile MyTouch Slide running CM7
Yet, when I put in the settings into EMAIL on the Droid 3 it comes back with "Error: Count not connect to server."
Ive noticed one thing with exchange emails the last couple days and wanted to see if others were having it.
Has anyone had emails cut off, like its only loading some of the message. I get daily email updates on some xda threads, and it seems if they are very long it cuts it off and you can't read the whole message. Didn't have this problem on my old droid so must be something in motorolas new setup.

I've seen it, but I'm not seeing it right now when I check my email. Perhaps I changed a setting but I do remember having to select something to see the rest of the email.
Should i contact motorola?? Why should i have to pay $20 for touchdown because they put a defective email client on the phone?

Motorola's software isn't defective and works as intended. The corporate sync doesn't trust self signed certificates. But there are ways to work around this and later set the account to not verify it's certificates. First you need to either setup the account while on wifi on the same network or setup activesync to answer http requests. Meaning allow insecure connections. Once you do this you can setup the account insecurely, then goto settings -> accounts -> the email account in question and deselect the verify certificates option. Yes I agree that motorola is a pain for doing this, but the device is actually more secure disallowing self signed certificates.
I have to use K-9 Mail for my corporate, since Motorola doesn't support self-signed certificates.

I cannot setup the account while on the same wifi network, as there is no wifi allowed on that network. How do I "setup activesync to answer http requests?" Thanks for the above info and your help in the future with this.
If its any conciliation I cannot get my work mail to sync regardless of allowing or disallowing the self signed certificate. I will have to try it over WiFi to see if that helps, and I wasn't trying to use exchange either.
I do however consider the mail client defective as I did not have this issue on previous Moto Android 2.2 devices.
