I know this is probably a stupid question, but I can't seem to figure out how to change the email account on the Tilt. I've looked everywhere I can think of and can't figure it out.
Here's the deal. I originally set up my email on my Tilt to connect to exchange server with one email address. Then my company email address changed. I now have two Outlook email addresses. The original outlook email address (the one I set up on my phone) now is no longer my main email. I want to change my phone to use the new email address.
When I go to menu -> tools -> options if I try to press and hold on "* Outlook E-mail" the "delete" option that comes up is grayed out. If I tap the "*Outlook E-mail" and try to edit the server settings I get to the screen with the user name, password, and domain. The problem is that the user name and domain are grayed out and I can't change them.
It seems that I'm locked into the account I originally set up. What's the deal? How do I change this?
I'd appreciate it if anyone can tell me how to fix this. Thanks!
I would try and add a new exchange server account and see if this prompts you to edit or delete the existing exchange account

It won't let me. When I go to add a new email account the only options it gives me are for a POP3 or Imap account.
I'm thinking I might just have to reinstall the whole ROM or something, but I'm trying to avoid having to do that.
I think you can try the following.
open Activesync on the phone-->Menu-->options then delete microsoft exchange...
Hi,
My law school uses Microsoft Outlook Web Access (OWA) for e-mail exchange and I am having a bit of difficulty getting it to connect to my ATT Tilt (w/ 6.1 default rom).
The main problem is that unlike my Gmail, the OWA doesn't have any options for enabling forwarding/POP/IMAP.
A faculty member of the IT department had sent out an e-mail last month with instructions on how to sync the OWA with IPhones and I tried to follow his instructions, but the problem I am now running into is that the Tilt requires a server name (I believe it is mail.uchastings.edu) and a domain name (?????).
I would appreciate any help if someone can help me with this. The server will not get the settings itself since I can't enable POP or IMAP.
I set almost everything perfecting, except when I tried to to connect to download mail, it would take me to the page that requested my username, password, and domain name. So i believe I am putting the domain name incorrecting since I tried a variety of my login.
Are you trying to use active sync? That is what it sounds like

I don't mind using activesync (although I prefer to be able to use the internet to access my mailbox).
I know you can access it through the web because when I attempted to get it working, I followed the following steps:
1. Clicked on Outlook e-mail
2. Server address: mail.uchastings.edu
3. Fails to obtain settings
4. I tell it that it is an Outlook server, not internet e-mail
5. Username: myusername
6. Password: mypassword
7. Domain: ????? (don't know what to put)
8. Asks me what items I want to sync (Mail, Contacts, Tasks, Calendar)
9. I click on Send/Recieve and it takes me back to the screen which asks for items 5-7.
That is the problem I am having and I believe it is probably the domain name that I am messing up on since I have tried to do a variety of my username and it won't work.
The e-mail server (OWA) is Microsoft Outlook, but it is inside a webbrowser. When I click on options, it won't give me a Pop/Imap option so I have to set it up as an outlook e-mail.
Hope that clears some items up.
You cannot sync Outlook Web Mail with Pocket Outlook in standard POP3 style. You would have to setup either Exchange Push Mail, or just log in to OWA using Pocket IE (gag).
The iPhone is able to sync using the Exchange protocol with its latest firmware that shipped at the launch of the 3G iPhone.
-Edit-
You need to uncheck the option for Outlook to auto detect your settings, and then select Exchange server from the options. I would then contact your school's IT department and ask them for the settings required to setup your phone to sync.

by active sync I meant wireless active sync through exchange. I would confirm the server address with the IT department and you will also more than likely need a certificate if SSL is used which it should.
domain I would imagine would be uchastings
From my experience with wireless activesync the certificate is 99% of the problem
Thanks guys for all the help. There is a guy at the IT which I have been e-mailing who is helpful, but the problem is he doesn't have a Tilt so he doesn't know the actual set up. I can post his set-up (which shows the servers, etc step by step) if that might be a bit more helpful to you guys also. I am hoping that once I get a chance to go up, I could meet him in person and see whats going on.
wireless active sync is all the same for windows mobile devices. The only thing that is different is that on wm6 devices importing the ssl certificate is a whole lot easier.
what is your the url for your owa?
the server name should be the same url minus the /owa part
for example if its blahblah.com/owa the server would be blahblah.com
be sure to ask for the certifcate

The url for the e-mail is owa.uchastings.edu.
When I got my first e-mail from the IT department exampling how to obtain access to the e-mail server, I was told that for the first time, my username for the e-mail would be uchastings\username. However, now I just user the username without the uchastings\ part to access my e-mail.
Also, would the server be owa.uchastings.edu? The IT rep told me it would be email.uchastings.edu.
Try This
For username just type the username without the domain.
For the domain try uchastings.local and see if that works.
And make sure that the box for SSL connection is not checked.
you might also try a program called Chronobis to sync Outlook OWA to your device.
Its very basic, but gets the job done

Not sure where you get this idea? POP3 and IMAP would work just fine if it's enabled, and more importantly, is exposed to the internet. It's not as nice as push email and most companies would not bother to expose it to the internet, but that doesn't mean it can't be done. He may not have access to it on his server but there's no technical reason it can't be done. It's just a standard pop3 and imap server using the standard protocols.
I would like to thank everybody for all the help and I was able to fix the problem with some help from a OWA forum.
The problem I was having is that the username should have been the username alone and then the domain name was just uchastings. That was it.
I have one more question I am hoping someone can help me with.
I use Microsoft Outlook 2007 on my laptop also since I can just connect my school mail and Gmail on there.
When I first connected my ATT Tilt to my laptop, it asked me what I wanted to sync and I choose Contacts, Calendar, Tasks, and Notes. Then I setup my Tilt with the school's outlook web access. It also asked what it should sync and I choose Contacts, Mail, Calendar, Tasks, and Notes.
Now on my Outlook 2007, when I choose Contacts, Calender, or Tasks, it gives me two options for each. For example in contacts, it has Contacts and Contacts from Personal Folder. Same for Calendar (Calender and Calendar from Personal Contacts) and Tasks.
Now my question is that are these two connected or is one from my Tilt and the other from Hastings OWA? If I choose to delete one, say from the OWA, will it affect the other? I am asking because all the items in each place (ie Calendar and Calendar from Personal Folder) are the same.
Thanks for the help once again.
I have 2 major e-mail servers that i have to be able to connect to, one is a hosted exchange instance and the other is a Lotus Notes server.
I have a subscription to Commontime's Msuite software which in Windows Mobile, creates a new mailbox separate from my exchange server and allows both to peacefully co-exist.
However, in android, they rely on the ONE exchange account on the phone and this would block my access to my exchange server.
Are there any stand-alone mail apps that would allow me to connect to the second account and for all intents, allow my phone to access 2 exchange accounts?
Thanks in advance!
Did you find a client?
Just wondering if you found a client that supports multiple exchange servers/mailboxes
Yeah, I did. Stock 2.1 doesn't work, but found it worked great with Froyo (2.2) - cognition.
At first on the Note I used the Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail apps to get my emails rather than use the stock email program. I tried today to set up my yahoo email, made sure it was configured online for pop3 access yet on the Note when I go through set up and enter the email address and password I get an error saying incorrect email address or password which cannot be as they are correct.
Any ideas why this is happening?
other than making sure that you are typing the email address and password correctly.... i really do not have any argument to make. different yahoo address like .co.uk use different pop3 and smtp address. regular users need to subscribe to plus services.
Yes yahoo pop access is paid service, you need to subscribe plus service.
Juast try to use imap service in stock email application, not sure but may work. If you are not happy with yahoo mail appl, find seven 7.54 apk on xda, i have uploaded few time back, one of good n real push support for yahoo.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
I guess at some point virginmedia resigned their email certs.
From that point onwards I have been unable to send emails.
I have tried deleting the account, manually installing the new cert, unticking SSL, using alternative smtp servers. rebooting, adding :465, adding :462:1.
None of the above works on my Lumia 920.
The only way that I can send an email is via my Hotmail account but TBH I don't know hat the address of the Hotmail account is (actually Outlook shows me that the address is [email protected])
Has any one managed to get past this issue? I guess if I could navigate to the cert and delete it all would be fine.
