Exchange DP + SMTP - XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I set up ActiveSync / DirectPush link on my Xperia for my private mail.
Now I can forward my business mail and have it put in a separate folder on my exchange account. However, I would need to send from my business account too. However, I can only set up a POP/SMTP or IMAP/SMTP combination.
What I want, however, is only send through smtp and save the outgoing mail on my exchange account. In Outlook 2007 this is partly possible - only problem there is that I still need to configure a pop account.
Any ideas?

Email question for all you gurus

When i get my kaiser, i will be setting it up to sync with outlook at home (via a gmail server). This will sync all my mail with outlook, but I am wondering, is there any way to actively send and recieve mail, that would be reflected in outlook at home, on my Kaiser (without using gmail's website).
I believe this is a no, where i can compose messages, and they would be sent next time i sync at home, and where i will only recieve messages when i sync at home, but I am hopeful that there has been some change with this, as the last time i used this type of stuff it was with a windows mobile pda, with only wifi (i.e. not a smart phone).
Thanks for any and all input.

I think (and others here may have much more elegant solutions) that the easiest way to do what your asking (or at least what I think your asking) is to simply set Activesync on your phone to sync manually (and sync it only when you are at home). If you can elaborate on what it is exactly you are trying to do a better answer will be forthcoming.
this is what i have set up now:
My home comp, set up with outlook 2007, vista, etc.
My HTC Kaiser 3G via AT&T.
They sync when i am at home, so any messages i have composed on the Kaiser get sent, and any emails i have recieved since my last sync get updated on my phone.
If i set up an email account on the phone, it will use push email, and then i will be able to activly send and recieve messages trough 3g while on the go.
Is there a way (other then Exchange Server) to be able to activly use my Outlook Email account on the go, and have those changes reflected in the Outlook on my computer, without setting up a seperate account for email only on the phone?
Hosted Exchange?
These questions are specific to the Kasier but more to how ActiveSync works.
The only way that I know of to sync contacts, calendar and email with Outlook is to use Exchange. You can certainly sync POP email accounts and Hotmail accounts, even Gmail accounts one your phone and the contact info with Hotmail but not calendar entries.
To me the most comprehensive solution would be to get a hosted exchange account and then sync with it. You can install Outlook on your computer and connect via RPC over HTTPS (if using Exchange 2003) or Outlook Anywhere (if using Exchange 2007) Hosted Exchange services are not very expensive and they work well. Simple google search will give you all the details.
There is even another Microsoft Exchange thread on this Kaiser forum that mentions 2 different "free" hosted exchange servers

Xpress mail question

Where does the xpress mail get pushed to? does it go to its own email location.. or just the basic outlook email that your exchange goes to?
Don't want it mixed up with my work email.
It is a separate account inside of Pocket Outlook. It will not intermingle with your Activesync mail.

Frickin POP3 mail account problems

Sheesh
Its a right pain setting up POP3 mail acocunts, in fact I've never had one working.
Currently I've solved my Yahoo and Hotmail accounts by using Windows Live and forwarding all my mails from yahoo to hotmail.
But I've got another POP3 account that wants money to set up mail forwarding. Sod that me thinks.
I'm 100% sure that all my settings for POP3 mail retrieval are correct,
INCOMING: pop3.graffiti.net
OUTGOING:smtpx.graffiti.net
USERNAME: [email protected]
P/W: XXXXXX
all yes to outgoing secure authentification, and same ID for sending emails.
but no dice grandma, no emails and a message telling me that im not connected or have incorrect account settings.
My internet connection works fine 3G and GPRS, I use it all the time, I have tried to retrieve emails while synced and while roaming, still no luck.
Anything I'm being thick about, or is the POP3 mail facility in WM6 just really fickle and buggy?
Thanks in advance for all help
Pop3 is fine. I have never had any issues with it in WM2003, WM5 and WM6.
I don't know graffiti.net personally. but a quick look at their login page and the fact they have a link to "interaction with other devices" or something like that suggests that you need to enable it on their website.
(Yahoo email requires you to log in to the webmail client and enable pop3 forwarding and access before you can access your emails via outlook or on your device and I am going to guess that graffiti make you do something similar)
Here in the states on AT&T I have to use the AT&T smtp mail server for sending email, but getting my POP3 email works fine. have you ever had your graffiti pop3 account working somewhere else?

Outlook email setup

I have set up a Gmail account so that I can receive emails from my Outlook acct. on my pc. Only problem is, when I reply to an email, it sends thm to me. Is there any way to just set up Outlook so that I don't have to have the secondary gmail acct?? I need a Domain name and server address. Anyone with any idea? TX!
If you set up Gmail from your PPC using m.google.com as server w/out a domain, uncheck tasks in sync settings, you will only get your own reply if you select reply all.

Outgoing mail authentication

I am trying to set up email on my vivid.
On my old Rhodium there was a check box for SMTP server authentication which I need for the SMTP server I use, but I cant find such a setting on the Vivid. As a result my outgoing mail wont work, incoming is fine.
Help please!
is this a
1. exchange/activesync account?
2. pop3/smtp account?
3. gmail account?
HTC write their own exchange stuff and ignore the stock exchange stuff, which is crap because the stock exchange stuff is fuller featured and more stable (IMHO)
If you need more advanced settings for your exchange account, I suggest using another app from the market which offers more optional settings, something like touchdown for exchange or moxier mail
