Adding two hotmail/live accounts on Xperia, Possible? - XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have 3 different accounts set up on live and hotmail. I would like the emails from all of these to be accessible on my Xperia. Sadly every time I try to add the second one the phone does nothing.
I have tried two different ROMs neither of which changed the result.
Hope someone can help.
Thanks.

I'm not a hotmail/live user but i think that the phone wants to associate your live account with windows live. and you can only ad on windows live account. what you cold do is forward the mails to on account. i have 4 email account and i have them forwarded to an gmail account so i only have to ad on account for everything.
like i sayd i'm not an live user so i don't know if there is something you can do i never had this isseu.

ive got 2 hotmail accounts working on mine

Do you have live messenger installed on your phone? as a program not a panel.

You can do it, but you'll get push mail only for ONE account. This is how it works: Set up a new e-mail account, enter a fake e-mail address. The domain-part is important (The thing after @). DO NOT WRITE HOTMAIL OR MSN OR LIVE THERE! Enter correct PW for your e-mail. Then choose POP3 Servers. Servers are: pop3.live.com and smtp.live.com. Make sure you check ALL checkboxes you can, also in advanced, enable SSL, outgoing mails authentication etc. When you're done, EDIT the account you just created and put in the correct e-mail address. Now you can use it

Sweet. Thanks a million.

thats how i got mine to work
but i cant get push email to work how do you set that up?

Is it possible to push email from Yahoo?

Hi,
I have never had push mail facilities before. Can anyone confirm whether it is possible to get notification from a yahoo email account? I do not have an email plus account.
I have tried to configure my T-mobile MDA Vario III to do this but it does not recognise either my user name or password when prompted. Am I just trying the impossible, I ask as I read somewhere that it can not configure hotmail accounts and Yahoo is obviously a web email account.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
This should answer all your questions.
I don't know if you can setup true 'push' email from Yahoo, but what you can do is go to the main email screen, tap 'New Email Account', type in your Yahoo email address, and just follow the prompts. You can set it up to automatically pick up your email every 5 minutes, 10 minutes, whatever you want. Hope that helps.

Check the link in my post above yours. That properly answers his question.
As TB says, Yahoo GO is the push solution - but it doesnt interact properly with the devices messaging client - so if you dont like the yahoo go app (I hate it), then do what RW said (but make sure you have the account enabled for pop (which you set up easily in the yahoo webmail client).
If you can forward your incoming yahoo mail to another account, you could use a Exchange Push Mail solution like the one I offer to push your yahoo mail to your device.
Yahoo Mail supports IMAP. Not true Push IMAP, but it is pretty close. You can simply set it up to sync your inbox often, if you can afford the data charges.

Question about setting up two push emails from hotmail using windows live

I successfully setup Windows live to receive emails from my hotmail account. Does anyone know if it is possible to setup two Windows live accounts on the phone? (two different hotmail accounts)
When I first setup Windows Live the process started when I installed the cab file but now that it's setup I can't find a way to setup a second email account. I've tried "New Email Account" but when I "try to get the email settings automatically from the internet" it takes me to http://mobile.live.com which is not where I want to go. When I try to set it up manually it asks for "Incoming mail server//Pop/IMAP which it doesn't need because it's hotmail.
Anyone have any ideas?
having the same problem did you ever figure it out?
It is not possible to sync two Hotmail accounts to your device at the same time using Windows Live.
In order to sync a second Hotmail account you need to select switch user from the Account Options menu. this will remove all of the first Hotmail account's emails and contacts in the process.
You basically have two options:
1) Pay for Hotmail Plus $19.99/yr on one account. This allows you to setup POP3 access to your email.
2) Link your Live IDs together. This is a new feature with Live IDs that allows you to receive emails from multiple Hotmail/Live mail accounts all in one inbox. Go to accounts.live.com to acces your settings. Try searching "link live id" at www.liveside.com for more specific instructions.
hope that helps.
3rd option/workaround, use Windows Live app as your primary account (for contacts etc), login in PIE as your secondary account on mobile.live.com, and it will stay logged in, so you can access your secondary inbox and messenger.

Offtopic - Good GMAIL POP WORKAROUND Solution

Hi,
I know some of you have suffered from disappearing mail when using WM to download mail from Gmail via POP and I believe there have been some work arounds (using recent: and/or setting your WM6 to not download the entire smg), but I've never been really satisfied with them. Well, since I have a TILT, thought I'd ask my fellow Tilt folks to try this out.
In any case, I tried this workaround and it seems to be working. If someone would be nice enough to double check my steps to see if this works for you, this just might solve the whole GMail/POP/WM6 mishaps.
BTW, as a discalimer, I don't know if someone's come up with this type of solution!
Ok, we'll need two Gmail accounts, one that is your PRIMARY-GMAIL account and then you have your SECONDARY-GMAIL account (bear with me, it'll become clear why in a bit).
Typically, your PRIMARY-GMAIL is the account you receive all of your mail and from which reply from.
Your SECONDARY-GMAIL account (either create one or use one that you already have) is the account from which you'll download mail from with your Windows Mobile device.
Setup your PRIMARY-GMAIL account to "forward a copy of your mail" to your SECONDARY-GMAIL account and "keep Gmail's copy in the inbox"
Enable POP on your SECONDARY-GMAIL account.
On your Windows Mobile device, create a new email account and manually configure to download mail from your SECONDARY-GMAIL account and set it up to download 50kb.
On your Windows Mobile device, set up the OUTGOING server to NOT use the same credentials and then put in the credentials of your PRIMARY-GMAIL account.
That's it! When you receive email to your PRIMARY-GMAIL account, it's forwarded to your SECONDARY-GMAIL account. Your WM device will download mail from this Gmail account. When you reply from your WM device, your WM device will use the credentials of your PRIMARY-GMAIL account and because of the way GMail's interface works, it uses your PRIMARY-GMAIL account as the SENT FROM. Thus to the rest of the world, you downloaded/received it off your PRIMARY-GMAIL account but to you, it's downloaded from your SECONDARY-GMAIL account, but replied/sent from your PRIMARY-GMAIL account. You should be able to download/receive the entire message now without fear of email disappearing from your PRIMARY-GMAIL account.
Sorry, it might sound confusing and convoluted, but this seems to be working for me. No more worries of disappearing messages, etc etc. Would anyone else mind testing this out?
Thoughts?
Thanks!
pretty good workaround. I just use IMAP however.
Um yeah, why use POP when IMAP works now? Pop SUCKS!

Help me figure out how to synchronize emails properly

I've looked around a lot but I can't find this specific issue mentioned.
My Diamond currently syncs well with my outlook, which receives emails from a few accounts and aggregates them in one inbox. This is good because I'm able to take them with me anywhere.
What I want is for the Diamond to also be able to download mail from my gmail account - which it does without a hitch - but this means I won't get that email in my desktop inbox. When connecting the device and starting activesync, it will pull new messages from my desktop index, but instead of moving the gmail stuff to the desktop, it just deletes all messages completely and there's no trace of them anywhere.
Is there a way to attach an account to the "outlook inbox" so that the gmail mails I download are added to it instead of to a new account? If not, is there any way to synchronize that new account to my desktop inbox instead?
This sounds very trivial, but I can't get it to work.
I am using Dutty's latest ROM (3.6b).
Email settings...
Have a look in your email settings on your device for your gmail account. At the bottom of one of the pages you'll see underlined 'Advanced Settings'. Tap on this and change the setting to 'Leave on server'. This way, you can receive it on your device, but when you check your mail back at your desktop, it will be there too.
Look under Send/Receive Settings?
That's the option currently set, and it does indeed leave the messages on gmail, but they are not automatically downloaded to my desktop if they were already downloaded to the Diamond.
I don't understand why it doesn't synchronize them with outlook on my computer...
Oh?

I'm sure why that is then. I use Tiscali email, and that downloads to my desktop whether I've already viewed them on my device or not. Perhaps someone else who uses gmail can help you... strange
in gmail, even if u leave the emails in the server, they wont be downloaded more than once. i know that, i am using a gmail account with my office pc as well as my home pc. and if i download an email from gmail using one of the two pc's, i cant download it again using the other pc, unless i go into the gmail server and "refresh" all emails making them as new. Same of course applies if you use a win mobile system.
Solution? yep and pretty simple. Have a new account in an exchange server, which can sync with your diamond. Have all your emails forwarded to this account. My diamond syncs only with my push-emailing exchange server, whilst all other accounts of mine are set in order to forward copies to the exchange server.
dunno if i made myself sufficiently clear... ?
How do I uhh.. set up an exchange server?
Is it seriously impossible to synch email I receive on the phone with desktop outlook? This is stupid. :/ One of the reasons I got the phone was that I could get emails everywhere, but it's useless if not only it doesn't synch it with the computer, but it deletes these mails automatically.....

i opened an account in a microsoft exchange server, to which i forward all my emails from other accounts. Also all my contacts and to-do list are in this exchange server, and are sync together with outlook in my other two computers (+diamond). I do so not just for sync but also because this is the best way for getting push-emailing... meaning my diamond gets the email right in the moment i receive it.
btw u can get a free email account in the following exchange server: http://live.mail2web.com/
Do you have imap enabled or just pop3? If you let the phone automatically setup your email then it will automatically chose pop3. Don't enter your email adress when configuring your gmail because it automatically sets up everything. Just enter something like [email protected] and it should give you the option to choose imap.
And make sure your computer also uses imap.

Two Hotmail accounts on Win Mob. Email

I have been trying to setup my two hotmail email accounts on my X1. It don't seem to be happening, am, I to conclude that it cant be done?
I tried too...don't think it's possible. I just have one account forwarding email to the other. This way I get push email on both live accounts.
EDIT: There is also an option in Windows Live (online) that lets you link other email accounts to your Live account.
cant you configure one account with live messenger and the other with a normal pop3 settings?
dont you need mail server information to set up pop3 ?
@Whybe: my accounts are linked but I would have to go online to check the mail everytime
