I am working on test a situation and would like others' input and advice.
I am working with Exchange 2003 on my server. I am setting up gSyncIt (sync to Google's servers) to synchronize the Public Contacts to a Google account now for testing. I would like to setup a separate Google account on Android phones (Bionic and Razr for this test) and be able to see the separate Contact Lists for the Private Google account (personal) and also the Company Google account (public) using an app from the Google Play (formerly Android Market).
I am curious if anyone has done this before and what app would work well to be able to see different contacts lists without changing the view settings of the original app that comes with the phones. Most people are only synchronizing their private contacts and that I do with Touchdown. I am more curious about getting a way to synchronize the Public Contacts.

Currently I have the Gmail java app installed to check my standard @gmail.com address.
I also have about 5 different domains with e-mail address I use through the Google Apps service.
What is the most effective way to manage these e-mails?
I like the fact that the Java app lets you keep the e-mails in conversation format like traditional gmail. The problem is I can not figure out how to use it for my domains I use through the Google Apps service. Is this possible?
Also using the Java app means I can not have my phone automatically check my e-mail throughout the day.
Please anyone who uses these services please let me know if outlook, google java app or another program is the best way to manage multiple e-mail accounts run through these particular systems.
Thanks a bunch

I would just setup the Gmail accts in IMAP mode...
Hi,
I've been through the same, there's a different java app for Mail by Google (Google apps) than for Google Mail. Apparently one shows with a blue M where the standard has a red one!
On your mobile device, point your browser to http://m.google.com/a and you'll get the option to download the appropriate client.
Details here (listed for Blackberry but ignore the word 'Blackberry' and insert Windows Mobile instead - works a treat!)

Since my university doesn't give us undergrads Exchange accounts, I theoretically have no way of synchronizing all of my PIM information (calendar, contacts, tasks, notes) over-the-air.
How can I still get this functionality?
CHEAT: Use mail2web's Free or Paid Hosted Exchange Service
I'm a little afraid that a SNAFU could occur and I'd lose all of my data. Since I only really modify all of this on one laptop (except for Google Calendar when I'm on the run or Funambol's web-access) I'm tempted not to pay the $15/mo fee. If someone could let me know of a way to back up all the data on the server, I wouldn't mind doing this.
OPEN SOURCE: Use Funambol
Thanks to SyncML (Wikipedia it) there is an open-source alternative. Using my.funambol.com, which is Funambol's free portal, I'm able to use connectors in Outlook and on my Fuze to synchronize all my PIM data.
However, reminders do not synchronize! I read on a forum somewhere that portals other than my.funambol.com do not have this problem, but I am still investigating.
PLEASE CONTRIBUTE IF YOU CAN BE OF ANY HELP!
I'm using the following setup :
Outlook on stationary PC at my home acts as "master" calendar.
Google Calendar acts as "on-the-road" calendar
PocketPC - "on-the-road" calendar when no computer is available.
Sync :
Outlook <-> Google Calendar : "Google Calendar Sync". Application installed on stationary PC - autosyncs every 20 mins. (self definable).
Google Calendar <-> PocketPC : "SyncMyCal".
Works perfect. If I make changes to my PocketPC calendar, my outlook at home is shortly after updated automatically.

NuevaSync
You could try NuevaSync. It is a free solution that will sync your Google contacts and calendar OTA ("over the air"), using the native Activesync connection.
Personally, I use Seven for synching my e-mail (Gmail and Google Apps) as well as my Gmail contacts. They are supposedly working on a Google Calendar sync as well. In the meantime, I am using Oggsync (which has a free and pro version).
I use my.funambol.com to OTA PIM's and to download PIM's OTA to outlook on my Laptop.
All,
Hopefully someone has seen this before... I have two google accounts, one for my business (google domain account) the other personal (standard gmail account). Because a lot of my phone contacts are business related I keep my phone address book in my business account but my Market Apps purchases are from my personal account..
The setup works perfect except when it comes to the address book contacts..
I have found if I add my personal account first and then my business account the contact is associated via my personal account even although I have not enabled address book syncing..
If I add my business account first then my personal account second already paid for apps in the marketplace are no longer available..
All in all pretty frustrating... I am guessing this is a bug anyone else seen this or better still got a nice work around...
Hi, I have the chance to buy an unlocked/unbranded Galaxy S, but I need your advice about the following:
a. Exchange Mail/Calendar/Contact sync, this is a deal braker for me, the only experience that I have with android was the Milestone, with the Milestone using the mail program or TouchDown was imposible to make my exchange account work, mail worked sometimes, calendar and contact never.
My company use Exchange 2010 with enforced security, I have no problems using it on my symbian devices (E71 and now N97 mini), of course WinMo phones also work without problem the same as iPhone (my wife work with me and her iPhone works), I have no partners with android phones to check with them. Asking anything to my IT is not an option, my company is large (+250K employees) and they won´t make exceptions.
b. Can I use hotmail via IMAP or only POP? (please, don´t suggest to use Gmail, I also use Gmail but need access to Hotmail)
c. My country is not android market "friendly", any experience using Market Enabler to access the market and buying on it?
Many many thanks for your answers. Regards.
I can only answer to C:
Use MarketAccess:
http://amip.tools-for.net/wiki/android/marketaccess
And Eris Market Fix (found in Android Market, to see the protected apps).
I have been using these on 2.1 and now 2.2 and they are working perfectly.
So glad that I have been able to buy apps!
I can only reply to b:
imap works with the stock client but you're better off with K9 from the market (it's free) as it supports imap push and works well.
For b. you can use gmail (a. I'm not sure but you can try it)
Let me explain:
On gmail Settings > Accounts and Import
In Send mail as:
Click on Send mail from another adress (follow the steps)
Then under:
Check mail using POP3:
Click on Add POP3 email account (follow the steps)
Now you will be able to recieve and send message from and to your hotmail account.
If you don't want to do it this way look on community.seven.com for their mail app
NB! Your company Exchange administrators could (and should) in any time to exclude any phone OS to synchronize according to the company policy for security or another reason.
Question a:
- this should not be possible in the Eclair native eMail application (version 2.1 of Android). This might be possible in paid applications, if they have full MAPI compatibility.
- this should be better possible in the Froyo (version 2.2 of Android). Don't know if it works out of box, but...:
Exchange support
Improved security with the addition of numeric pin or alpha-numeric password options to unlock device. Exchange administrators can enforce password policy across devices.
Remote wipe: Exchange administrators can remotely reset the device to factory defaults to secure data in case device is lost or stolen.
Exchange Calendars are now supported in the Calendar application.
Auto-discovery: you just need to know your user-name and password to easily set up and sync an Exchange account (available for Exchange 2007 and higher).
Global Address Lists look-up is now available in the Email application, enabling users to auto-complete recipient names from the directory.
Exchange information from http://developer.android.com/sdk/android-2.2-highlights.html.
there is also TouchDown 2.0 (paid) for Android that is vastly improved over TouchDown 1.0
back to hotmail account, it works great with the Samsung push Email & IM program, i have all my hotmail accounts real & fake ones all running simultaneously.
but as metioined above if you'd like more funtionality then you might be better off with K9 (free) mail app.

the samsung modified email app push works for you? I only checked with the stock firmware i had (JF3) and didn't have push for imap
btw: i'm personally not a lot in favor of importing stuff to gmail. that's embrace and extend at it's best: they read all data for their statistics. So ok it's a google os with a lot of such stuff but i'd rather separate some things when possible. (note:k9 is giving full satisfaction, just wondering about stock)
yes i'm using the Samsung Push Email as my main email app for all my email accounts, including google
4 accounts from hotmail
3 accounts from yahoo
12+ accounts from gmail
i hardly use my PC for email now since i got the phone, it's amazing!
Many thanks to all, one thing that Android doesn´t lack is user´s support. Since the N8 is delayed again I ordered the Galaxy S to give it a try.
I can respond in general that if you going to use Galaxy frequently with GPS, WIFI, Email then carry your charger or USB plug.
I found that even with light usage the battery needs to be charged everyday which I find it that I cant use it as my main phone as I travel a lot and I need more than 2 day with light usage of phone.
It seems that there is only one calendar, which is google calender.
Other calenders from exchange account does not synchronized
Add Corporate Account, Synchronize, then Use Calendar

You can do this by going to Settings -> Accounts & Sync
Then Add Account, and choose Corporate. Fill in all the information, and Edit Details to specify things that are not auto detected.
Once the account is created click on the account and choose which options to synchronize and then doing a manual Sync. Then you will be able to access your calendar from the standard Calendar app by going into Settings for the Calendar app and choosing which accounts to use.
I just ran through the process real quickly and that is what I did. However, I do use the Touchdown application for my Exchange access which has everything built into one app.
Hope this helps.
i know that settings, but it does not work in cm9 rom
I too wasn't able to get my corporate exchange calendar to sync or show up as an option to select on any calendar app with cm9 build 4 or 5.
I did however find an exchange client that works great, Enhanced e-mail ( by Qunatum Apps). It cost $10, but worth it for me because it also removed the required lockscreen password.
I think the best Exchange client by far is Touchdown. Their support is exceptional, too!

Touchdown definitely seems to be an overall better exchange client and has features I haven't found in Enhanced Email, such as looking up contacts from the server. I just wanted to try and see if an exchange client would work and I had already tried both touchdown and moxy. I didn't want to spend $20 to find out a third party app would not correct the issue, so I figured I'd try the cheaper $10 Enhanced E-mail.
Either way I'm sure this issue will be corrected in the upcoming builds. Other than this I haven't had any issues build 5.
it seems that the calendar of version alpha#6 still does not work
