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).

is there a way to have push email on android ? i used the email service on it but it updates my inbox every 2 days and i have set it on every 5 minutes update...so is there anyway to sync my hotmail account with android ? thanks
I don't know about the stock email app but K9 supports push, although it's quite flakey on 2.2 (most caused by service api changes)

The stock supports push but I think only for exchange servers. I'm not sure Hotmail can push.
Push is only for Exchange. And the stock one sucks for features and the interface.
If you want good Exchange support for Activesync with push, use the Desire Rom, the interface and features are good.
Also, there is a third party Exchange push app that does it all too that will run on stock Roms.
Any other Push I don't think exist right now...but then again, I guess I never really looked and needed it since I used Exchange.
To the original poster - if you use any standard IMAP email provider that supports IMAP IDLE, K9mail has flawless push email. Unfortunately, I don't think Hotmail supports IMAP IDLE.

Setting the record straight - I've been running K9mail 2.8 and now 2.9 on FRF50, then FRF72 and now FRF83 and IMAP IDLE has been rock solid stable for me. Not a glitch since several releases ago.
i've never used hotmail (ok i lie i used it in 1998) but if it supports forwarding or pop you can forward all email to gmail or have gmail fetch hotmail through pop. android's native gmail app supports push.
You could also setup your gmail account to go POP your hotmail account on a regular interval. Then anything that gets brought over would be pushed to your local android gmail app right away.
New K9mail works great on CM6 and Trackball colors for each account possible

that's cool!
Hotmail will have Exchange support shortly, so you could wait and do it that way.
Or you can get GMail to pull your emails and then read them in the GMail client. The problem with this message is that you reply from GMail and not Hotmail.
It's not possible to get Hotmail to forward emails outside of their accounts.
The gmail client its the best mobile email there is, period.

just an fyi..
I have 3 accounts set up in gmail and also have Gmail Notifier (from marketplace) installed. I get separate color and sound notification depending on which account receives email with this combo.
If you have other non-gmail accounts just set them to forward to a dummy gmail account - you'll still be able to get custom notification (trackball, sound etc)
maybe it's just me.. but the mobile gmail website that opens up in the stock browser looks 100x better with it's UI and color scheme..
the gmail app is so darn ugly.. why can't they make it look at least as decent as the mobile site?
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.

is there a pointer as to how to do this?
Just went to Cognition 2.3b8 (froyo), mostly because I dont know any better and that appeared to be the most bug-free Froyo ROM for Captivate.
Anyway, I'm pretty happy with it so far, except that I cannot get Exchange email setup for work. I enter the same settings that I used in Eclair, but get the following error:
"Setup Could Not Finish. Unable to connect server".
The fully thing about that is, if I change my username or password to be wrong, I get an "incorrect username/password" error, which tells me that it is actually connecting to the server but something more subtle is wrong.
We do use Exchange 10 at work and I did attempt the solution posed by this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=821297
Nothing....same problem. Anybody else have experience with this? Any fix or suggestions floating around?
Thx!

I had the same problem. I ended up using "Improved Email" from the market - it looks a lot like the stock email app but has a few enhancements (and is free). Turned out (I think) that my corporate exchange server needed security settings that stock email didn't have (and acknowledged as such). Try that app or check out one of the other email apps if you prefer.
FYI - from my research I think this is a known issue with 2.2 and was fixed with 2.2.1.

Good to know - thx for the info Now I need to find a good basic 2.2.1 rom that isnt hacked to heck. Thats another post about that tho
Tried "Improved Email" but it didnt work either. Totally stumped our IT guys until I admitted it wasn't the standard Captivate ROM. They suggested I tried a program called Touchdown. It works but looks like total crap.
Oh well
I had a same problem when I flashed w/ Darky... I reflashed it and set up the email before I Ti restore... When Ti back up, unselect email restore... It works fine now... f
Just flashed to cog 3.0 and everything is working!
Slightly different exchange issue
I also recently took the plunge and flashed Cognition 2.3b8 (using the ODIN, one-click-download, master clear, ROM manager method). When setting up Exchange afterwards, I get the following error when trying to connect to the server:
Steup could not finish. This server requires security features your phone does not support.
Same result when trying to use the "Improved Email" app. I just re-flashed back to stock with ODIN and then installed Cognition 3.04, and I got the same error message when trying to connect to the Exchange Server with the stock app.
I know it's not the login credential--if I change them around I get a different error message telling me that I am using the incorrect username/password combination. I have also tried to set up the Exchange account before and after doing the Ti restore.
Has anyone else seen this particular error message with the Cog ROMs? Thanks in advance.
Hello,
There hasn't been a lot of action on this thread recently, but I just fixed my issue and I wanted to post it for people's reference.
Some background. Since the last post, I updated to Cog 3.04 and fixed my Android ID, both in the hopes of fixing the Exchange issue. They did not. At the suggestion of a friend, I tried installing Touchdown, a third party mail app made specifically to work with MS Exchange. It was in fact able to sync with the Exchange server, and I now have my work email, contacts, and calender on my cappy. Some complaints:
- No integration with stock calendar app (as near as I can tell)
- Pay version is $20, which is a little pricey (I'm working with the 30-trial version for now)
Other than that, it seems like a pretty slick app, probably an overall improvement over the stock mail app, but I'll have to play around with it in the coming days to have more of an opinion there. One improvement I noticed immediately: I can move messages between personal folders using Touchdown, which I was not able to do with the stock app. On a side note, Exchange contacts, unlike the calender, integrated just fine with the phone contacts.
In summary, I have no clue why this mail application succeeded in syncing with my company's Exchange server when the stock app could not. However, I wanted to get this out there as an option if anyone else is having similar issues after updating their Captivate to some flavor of 2.2.
I just got my galaxy s i9000m back from repair, with JL2 (2.2) installed on it.
Im trying to set up my work exchange email, but it gives me the unable to connect to server message. i was able to get it to work in Touchdown, but that is only a 30 day trial. I did a bit of googling and someone said its a bug that was fixed in 2.2.1
anyone else encountering this?
Thanks
Im able to connect to Exchange 2010 and can sync my contacts and email... calendar wont sync. Samsung said it would be fixed in the next update... no eta. Im on JL2.

just an update.
I flashed Doc's Kitchen JS3 (2.2.1), and android's exchange support works fine
Is it me or does the stock android email app not receive pushed emails? My Gmail app receives them instantaneously, or almost. The stock android email app requires you to have a set syncing period. If any new mail is pushed, it will not see it until you manually sync or the sync period previously set comes around.
Is this behavior the way this app is intended to work or am I missing something?
Any insight would be much appreciated!

I set my email to every 5 minutes. it's a little drain on battery but its really nice
watch your data though, i recommend the 2GB plan if you set it to every 5
I have unlimited data... just wish I could figure out why a stock android email app can't take advantage of Push...
Thanks for your suggestion though!
Anyone else have any ideas?

i have never had problems with stock android mail app when it comes to push. been using it on exchange 2003 backend for quite some time. its worked fine since 2.1
I use Maildroid. It will push most email (haven't tried Exchange accounts), even yahoo.
Thanks guys,
I am needing it to allow for push emails from my gmail accout. So far the stock email client is the only one I have found that allows me to use Grouped Contacts... I would think that gmail push to native email android email client would be a given but not so for me...
Sent from my Cappy running Andromeda 3
the GMail app pushes....
Yes and I use it in conjunction with the stock app. The Gmail app will not let me use grouped contacts though. I manage a sports team and I frequently have to send out emails with 35+ recipients and with gmail I have to enter each one separately.
Thanks for the input!

that makes sense. didnt realize it didnt allow that.
I have moved on to the GSII but still ran in to this problem. The fix was eventually found by someone else (bustabo) but here it is...
You have to set up your Gmail account using the exchange settings in account setup.
