What are you connecting to for your email? Hotmail, activesync, etc?

Just connecting to my Isp's pop mail server. Settings are set to delete mail from server when I delete from inbox.

Stock email

I want to use the stock email app. But I am needing to reset the tab every now and then to get the emails to come through. It attempts to connect and nothing happens. If I then do a reset it will work normal again.I am using a hotmail account. Any solutions to this problem?without changing the app or email account. Anyone else have this issue?

Instead of resetting, go to accounts, sync, and click on the hotmail account to re-sync.

I checked this. Doesn't have hotmail listed in there.

i guess you can't do a sync with Hotmail .. yahoo anf Gmail only ..

Just forward your hotmail to a gmail account.

[app] hotmail?

Anyone found an APP that will work with Hotmail with a Captivate? Stock, tablet and even K-9 don't support it. There must be a decent one out there! Thanks!

I just forward my live account to my gmail.

Stock email app works like a charm with hotmail. I got 2 accounts configured under it and my local provider email also. Never had issues getting hotmail.
If you want to fully managed your hotmail (delete mails on server) then your right default email app on the cappy cannot do it but it can fetch the mail.
EDIT: Tried delete on the server option and it works. Fluke bug probably.

Do a Google search on "Hotmail activesync android" and you should be on your way use stock email to do push Hotmail. server deletion is supported last time I checked.

Correct .. last time i tried it failed miserably.. maybe just a bug or a bad connection.

Haven't tried it personally, but I do use Maildroid for gmail,Yahoo, and my ISP email. All set to push, even free Yahoo.

I used the exchange server for hotmail on my Captivate, worked fine with the stock email. Set it up as exchange, using m.hotmail.com as the server. Your username is your full email address. I don't have a Captivate anymore so I don't know if you need anything else (like port numbers). Google should give you the rest.
Also, if you set it up as exchange you can choose to sync your contacts and calendar with hotmail.

[Q] Outgoing name in stock email app

I've added my Hotmail account to the stock e-mail app, set up as Exchange ActiveSync. I can't however figure out how to change my outgoing name in sent mail. It just shows my mail account name without the @hotmail.com.
Now I know there's a Hotmail app available in the market with the option I'm looking for, but it only syncs mail from the last 30 days, which I don't want and therefor prefer the stock e-mail app (syncs everything).
I'm on 2.3.6 (KKA). Thanks in advance!

Email>Menu>More>Account Settings allows you to change your name and your signature. Is that what you are looking for?

Yes, except I don't get a field with "Your name". The signature field is there however.

Are you using the Gmail app or the Email app?
On my Note, the Gmail app has only the signature field in settings, the Email app (which you can use with gmail and/or any other email provider) has "Your name" and "Add Signature" in settings.
edit: I see that in your OP you did say you were using the Email app with Hotmail - so now I don't know what to think!
edit 2: I just tested mine by sending an email to myself, looked at it on my computer, it sent Stan/GNote as my name, followed by my email address.

I found a workaround to change the "Your Name" setting in the stock Email app. I posted the details at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=31342076.

[Q] Setting up a Hotmail account

Hello.
I've never done this before and could use some help. In the E-mail app that is in the phone from teh start you can choose "Microsoft exchange" or "Other".
Should I choose Exchange when setting up a Hotmail account?
I'm not really sure what Exchange is so I just wanted to be sure before I try it.
Thank you in advance.

Choose other for setting up hotmail, I don't even think it is possible to use exchange for setting up a hotmail

Exchange is what is typically used in office enviroments. If you dont have any joy setting up hotmail in the email client, there is an official hotmail app in the google play store.

I used exchange for setting up a hotmail account, but it will not keep incoming mails for long (only for 1-2 days). Maybe some setting is wrong with my set up.
