Froyo Gmail on Milestone 2.1 - Motorola Droid and Milestone General

Would it be possible on a rooted Milestone to run the Froyo version of Gmail? It's got a few nice enhancements like quick switching of Gmail accounts.

CM froyo ROM and HTC Synch

I think I read somewhere that HTC Sync will not work with the CM6 ROM running froyo. Is there an application that will sync my outlook contacts and calendar appointments with that ROM? Is there a different 2.2 ROM that would better suit my needs? I am kind of lost without my appointment book, but I really want to change up the ROM to check out the new features.
why not just sync your outlook to your google account? isn't it kind of lame that your contacts and calendar were only syncing when you plugged a usb cable into one specific computer?
since your on outlook, are you talking to an exchange server? because I think android has built in exchange syncing.
and its unlikely there will be a 2.2 rom featuring sense any time soon if ever.
Last I heard they were waiting for the legend to get 2.2 with sense before they could attempt to get it on the hero. I love having google calendars

Exchange Email No Longer Working

I just updated to JI6 Froyo (Cognition) and now I am unable to connect to my corporate email account. I get a warning message that states my phone does not support security policies. Not sure what's changed from the 2.1 to 2.2, but I do know my Corporate email does indeed work with 2.1 eclair. One thing to note is that my corporate email requires a 4 digit lock pin, perhaps this is whats causing the issue?
Can anyone provide any insight into what changes were made to the email client in 2.2 Froyo, and why exchange email is no longer supported (in this particular instance)?
Thanks in advance.

You should try to delete the email client and install the cyanogen one. I think that'd what sherpa did for his ''rom''
Yay no more fc
I'm pretty new to Android (Blackberry and WinMO power user). I'm assuming I would need to remove the client via ADB commands? I feel like its probably better just to wait for CM6.1 to get ported to the captivate.
Have you tried beta 5.5? I just installed and it has a new email client. It has fixed the forward/reply issues for me. May solve your issues too.

Eclair never really supported security policies. Froyo does. You should set the PIN then readd the account and it should start working.
Or just break down and get touchdown. So much better than the stock client. Especially from an enterprise exchange admin point of view.

[Q] Can we now natively sync with Yahoo acoount?

Hello world,
Today after I flashed my Nexus One with the new CyanogenMod 6.1 RC1, I went into Account & Sync menu and I discovered that there is an option to sync with our Yahoo! account.
Is this a new feature that I don't know about?
And before I forget, I'm using the newer version of Yahoo! Messenger w/ video that was ripped from myTouch 4G file dump, so maybe that the reason why
Any feasible thoughts?
I have a "stock" rooted FRF91 with the Yahoo+Video apk and I, too, have the Yahoo sync option now. Must be that updated apk.

[Q] Facebook and Andromeda

I recently switched from Perception 10.3 w/ Speedmod kernal to Andromeda 1.2 with the built in Ursa minor kernal.
I'm really liking this switch as my battery life seems to have improved significantly. But there are a few things I'm mssing that i've noticed. The big one is in the facebook app, i no longer have the option for push notifications or to sync contacts through the facebook app (i can still add a facebook account under settings, but this doesn't allow me to only add info to contacts already in my google contacts).
The facebook app installed is the latest (1.5.1). Is this an issue moving from froyo 2.2.1 to 2.2? or some other issue I haven't figured out yet?
Thanks!

[Q] Froyo exchange peak off-peak support

Hi,
I haven't found any support for Exchange peak, off-peak sync support.
is there any way to put it?
thanks,
Hi,
You need to have Froyo 2.2.1 where the exchange email account has a "sync schedule" option.

As far as I know, that doesn't exist in 2.2.1. I'm running Doc's rom now (which is 2.2.1), and I don't have that feature. I've never seen that in stock Android (including Gingerbread). It does exist on 3rd party Exchange clients such as RoadSync as well as on the HTC Sense e-mail.
If I'm wrong, and I can do this on my SGS, please do correct me, because I'd love to be able to! I have a license for RoadSync, but I hate the UI

I use the seven email client, they call it beta but it is 100% stable. Its free and can schedule. I came across this program as it is the company that supplied samsung with the social hub email client. This is a nice unified inbox for me with the ability to work with synced folders.
I'm using Darky's Rom 9.3
The exchange mail client in it, has the setting to schedule your method of getting the emails ("push" or "manual") according to your schedule ON/OFF peak. There's a bug though --- the roaming setting is defaulted to "manual". I can't seem to change it.
So for Froyo 2.2.1 -- such on/off peak setting exists.

Did you try in 2.2.1 to set up a new exchange account in the stock email program ?
I did not have this peak / off-peak in 2.1 Eclair neither in 2.2 Froyo but was happy to finally get it in the stock email program from 2.2.1 JPY stock Froyo (I also had it this function in the custom ROMs I tried : Darky's & Doc's).
