Hi,
is there an app like chronobis (for windows mobile)
or maybe one like "Outlook Mail" (for IOS)
I'd like to have a convenient way of access my Exchange mail and calendar
without using active sync etc .
has anyone any ideas or successfully used an app for this on the Note?
Gary
Hi!
You mine to have a app like outlook? Not to have data on your phone only "interface" to your exchange account? I use the normaly EMAIL App with "push" activated, nearly like "online" account.
regards
i think the built in exchange client uses active sync to access outlook.
I use Touchdown (free trial available on market) to access my works ms exchange server as touchdown uses different protocols and my work blocks active sync.

I suggest you have a look at www.syncdroid.net
They have a comparative grid and an honest review of almost every good sync app for this purpose of syncing with outlook.
By the way, companion link is thier favourite... but then it just depends on what YOU need!!
Why you ask for OWA and then ask for an app ?
OWA runs in your browser.
I too use touchdown for exchange access w/o active sync... . Works well . .
FWIW prior to gb 2.3.6 (but > froyo) there was a funny obscure boog (ssl related android boog) that caused booth touchdown (in owa mode) and owa in browser to malfunction.
Because of this and that i use linux on my worksations and laptops full time. . .I use a widget called davmail (goto sourceforge to find it). DAVmail is a sort of exchange proxy that turns owa into other common mail and calendaring protocols. . .
It is not an app. . .but an application you run on a desktop, workstation, server etc... Then you can configure just about any email app (on about any device) to pop or imap email to your davmail install. . Etc.etc.etc.. it worked fine using whatever the email app is that comes stock or with common roms for an SGT.

Intersting site but no owa sync that I could see
I might try some of the software regardless

Yep OWA is accessible via the browser but isn't offline
so I effectively want to save it's data. there are program/apps that work by effectively attaching to echange as an "OWA" client and bring the info over

Hello everyone!
Is it a bug or is there some wrong settings?
I am trying to sync my address book (on an Exchange Server 2003). No issue in terms of syncing mail or calendar BUT the number of contacts: on Froyo (I tried official and leaked firmware, but same results) I can see max 200 contacts, but on the server I have more than that!!! And I did not find a way to display of all them...
Same server, no issue with Eclair...
Any suggestion pls?
Are you using Samsung Apps or the Integrated Corporate account?
I notice Exchange 2003 give a lot of problems.
It is the corporate account manager.. Indeed I did not find anything related to mail account among the samsung apps...
Most likely your company exchange has some other network or custom exchange component installed,
I have no problem using it

I have Hotmail set up to sync to Android through ActiveSync. One issue I am having is that if I move a message to a folder in the Android Email app, it doesn't reflect that change on the actual Hotmail server. However, if I delete a message, it does delete on the server.
I'm not sure if this is just because ActiveSync for Hotmail is so new, Google doesn't really support it, or if its just a crappy native email app in Android. I hope that isn't the case, since I can't get any other mail app to connect to ActiveSync. Any ideas?
Ended up buying Moxier. Cost me $20 but it solved my problem so it was worth it.

Hey guys,
Anyone of your experienced such problem?
I create an exchange activesync account for google. and then input all the information correctly such as the server name, username, password,
Then I select sync mail, calendar, contact, and push. After click finish, it always returns "authentication failed"
Anyone know what's going on?
Probably u have to enter a captcha trough the website (this can be done from a pc) or you have the wrong credentials.
Edit: or your internet doesn't allow you to connect, (business firewall?)
Edit 2: Google is no exchange, just use the default Google account option.

If you use the default mail client, you can set up Google via IMAP.

This does not work either. I have just purchased a HTC Desire S and cannot get a Google Apps working through either IMAP or Exchange.
Infact, any time I have tried to add an account via. Exchange I see that error message (Hotmail/Google Apps account).
It seems that imap.google.com is down from my limited tests, and I would want exchange support.
What gives, is the Mail client on the Gingerbread phones broke?
Cheers

I don't think you can connect through Google Mail via Exchange. Exchange is only meant for connecting to MS Exchange servers.
You have the following two choices:
- Either run the standard GMail client.
- Or run the standard Mail Client and connect via IMAP.
What exactly do you mean when you say you want "Exchange Support"? If you want Exchange support, you should look at Exchange-based email services.
BTW, I have no issues connecting to GMail's through IMAP using the default email client nor do I have issues with connecting through the GMail client.
Thanks for your reply.
Actually gmail can be accessed via exchange. As I used before in iOS. You can find it under the webpage of google/sync.
There's explicit tutorial for ios user to set up an exchange server for gmail. The mails is pushed to the client rather than retrieving them every certain time.
server is: m.google.com
user name: [email protected]
password: xxxx

That's using Google Sync (Google Sync uses the MS Exchange Activesync protocol) for the iPhone. One the Incredible S (as on the other Android phones), you do not need to use Google Sync to get push email (in fact I don't think Google Sync is available for Android phones). All you need to do is set up your Google Account and have it sync the calendar, phone book and email and you'll have everything working.
I'm not sure why you want to go via the iPhone(Exchange) route when there's a simpler (and more native way) of getting your Google mail set up with your Android phone.
Thanks man.
I know I can get push gmail from the built-in app. But what I want is to receive all my mails in just one app. Cuz I have 4 email account, which includes my school account, department account, and others, while I still want to get my gmail pushed.
Thanks for your explanation, that makes sense. I also live in Victoria, lol

The in-built google account does not seem to work for Google Apps accounts? as in anything that doesn't end in @gmail etc?
If I try the imap settings, I get an error message saying that the phone cannot connect to the server?
That is using "imap.google.com". Should the phone accept google apps accounts through the native google account provider?
And Android does work fine with Google Sync, at least it does on the Galaxy S I have.
Cheers,
MiG

It does work as I have my Google Apps account working with both the GMail and standard mail client.
When you set up your Google account, ensure that the sync for mail is on. That should set it up to work with your GMail client.

Just tried this. It says the username/password is not recognised through the built-in GMail App.....
Are there any settings I have to enable?
Most people missing the point here though? I too want to use the HTC Mail client (as I'll be honest, GMail client sucks) and IMAP only does mail, most of the time it syncs just fine using m.google.com but sense 2.1 (and 3.0) regularly get auth error's, and only go back to push mail when that's cleared or you launch the mail app to set the sync off again. It's deffo a sense issue as sense 2.0 Roms dont have the issue. It's seems to do with the way HTC have implemented their ActiveSync V14.x protocol stuff or how Google have (as sense 2.1/3 both try v14.1 first, then fail back to 12.x)
Hey ho, might dig around a bit more as there is some errors in the logs, might be able to track it down, might also ping a question over to HTC.
Seem to have fixed it, and it's a easy (if odd) fix,
Login on PC to GMail (or app for domain in my case) and change your password, change it on phone
All sorted... Dont ask me why?
So i tried a lot of things and nothing worked also hard reset, chang password from gmail account.
it´s only with the gmail all other email provider are working find and fo me i don´t like to have 2 email app´s because gmalapp is working fine but the i have to use the other app for my work and i don´t prefer it.
hope anybody can help.

Guys, the thing is, the default gmail app is HIDEOUS with no pinch to zoom, it f's up formatting in portrait, and is just really low quality.
The HTC mail app looks A LOT better, but problem is, if you don't set gmail up as Exchange, it fails cause it won't push.
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!

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.

ok so search isn't working for me atm..
has anyone had issues with exchange activesync with the native mail client?
more specifically, i've been trying to setup Lotus Traveler manually by using [mycompanyhost].com/servlet/traveler
but it's not working.
on the other hand setup was a breeze on my Nexus 7 with seemingly (only looks-wise i'm sure) the exact same native mail client using the same settings.
if not the native mail client, then...I don't see any free alternatives on the playstore.
p.s. there's no way i'm using the official traveler client lol
thanks

I've got the Traveler ported on my phone. I don't understand exactly what's your problem. You couldn't install the Traveler or configure it? And what is the role of the activesync in this story? Maybe I could help you if you're more specific.

hi piskr
well i'm trying to avoid the Traveler client actually since it hits the battery life pretty hard
instead i'm looking to use the native Email client on the Razr i to setup a Traveler account by way of exchange/activesync
this is done by using the manual method of setting up Traveler where you enter your username and password and server yourself rather than say letting the Traveler client do it for you
but this method fails with the Email client every time saying it couldn't connect to the server
i just think this this is not normal behaviour since it works perfectly fine on a lot of my other devices e,g, most recently, my Nexus 7, where I attempted the exact same setup only minutes after the moto failing.
so I'm just wondering if anyone's run into this or know a workaround even.
K-9 mail only does webdav
and it seems most other activesync-capable mail clients on the store are paid apps
things ive tried:
clearing Email's data and cache
adding the account via Settings instead of Email's wizard (same thing really)
making sure Data sync is on when I do all this
Traveler manual setup:
Server field: [companyhost].com/servlet/traveler (dependent on your server settings)

Hi,
I must say that I've never succeded to establish LN client as a normal email client though I tried with my previous phones (Defy, Defy+). But I constantly use the Traveler client for email and calendar. I never have such experience regarding battery drain. On the contrary: comparing my battery use with others published here I'm far above average. I don't use bloatware, heavy wallpapers and don't play games though. But I use a lot of productive software (3 navigation systems, voip, 2 mails, cameras, tv client...)

then i take it you don't use push, but instead sync periodically?
My experience with the native android email client isn't good as well. It eats a lot of my battery.
To be honest: For connecting a company client I would suggest to take a look at the app TouchDown.
It is not cheap but from my experience it's the best client I ever used and it could replace Lotus Traveler as you can read here: alternative Lotus Traveler clientandroid/
You can try this app before purchasing it.

No, I use the mail as a push. I even receive mail on phone before it arrives to computer client. Mails are truncated though and I expand only those I want. Calendar synchronizes every 10 minutes. But look please at my consuption. In the time it was measured I read 2 mails. I advise you to give the Traveler a try again. Then monitor the consumption and find out whether is the Traveler really the one which drains the battery or is it something else?

Hi,
I'm an IBM Domino administrator.
I'm using the native email client with my traveler server but results are not the same depending of devices.
I'm using a Nexus 4 (Stock rom, non rooted) and it's working well :
For login I'm using the Lotus ShortName
Password= internet password
server= myserver.mycompany.com/servlet/traveler
Port 443
SSL Options : Accept all certificates
If it still not working for you, please tell me the Traveler server version ( Im using latest one : 9.0.1 If3 )
The problem with native email client is if your server require validation for your device, then admin profile cannot be installed before your admin has validated your device.
