I installed Eclipse 1.3.1 few days ago and I love it. Unfortunately when I try to set up an account for my work's Exchange server, I get the dreaded "This server requires security features your phone does not support" error.
It doesn't matter if I try to create the account from the email app or the add accounts screen - same result. Is there a potential work-around for this or am I cursed to stock?
Use Touchdown. It's a pretty good exchange client that I use. Works with Eclipse
Enhanced Email is cheaper than the others, and IMHO better too. Been a happy user of EE for years now.

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.
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?
A few weeks ago, I bought the Aria for my wife (when it was on sale at AT&T for .01! Then picked myself up a Captivate about two weeks ago.
Having done much of the work getting thing ready for the Mrs, I've used the Aria quite a bit - much too small for me as an everyday phone, but a nice little phone.
The two things I really like about her Aria are the People widget (which I've accomplished on my Captivate with Launcher Pro Plus and it's people widget), and the HTC email client.
I have 2 gmail accounts, 1 SBC account, and my work email (IMAP) that I like to follow. I like the way the HTC email has it all set up. K-9 is "OK", but just feels klunky. I wasn't a big fan of the stock email client from Samsung.
Are there any email clients available that are as user friendly as the HTC client? Any chance of getting the HTC client onto the Captivate? Anything out there that will keep me from wishing I still had my iphone - no push mail, and all? I really liked my iPhone, but so far I like everything better on my Captivate - everything, that is, except the Email situation.
K-9 is workable if that's the best solution out there, but I"m hoping there are some other suggestions out there that I'm just missing!
+ 1 for K9
Touchdown is good for Exchange
For what it's worth.... I've settled on Seven mail for now.
If anyone is interested, their site is: community.seven.com
It's a beta product, but, at least for my needs, it's far and away the best android email client that I've been able to find.
As far as I'm concerned, K-9 is only a slightly better interface than the stock email client... neither of which really float my boat.
Seven has been solid for me.
Gmail and k9 mail
No decent email client for captivate that I know. I tried the galaxy tab client and it was awesome while it lasted, but only did for a day and stopped downloading emails. I heard some people in stock eclair have it running, but I'm not stock
I do not like the stock email client. I was unable to get html via exchange 2003. So for now I'm using Touchdown which is ok. It supports html and works with exchange.
+1
improved mail is very nice except for a flaw in which it is incredibly slow when batch deleting email.
i downloaded the sgs tools and then got the email app from galaxy tab
i personally think its awesome and u should try it out
Does anyone know of an IMAP email app that is worth using? There seem to be a bunch out there that are all iffy from what I've seen. My college account is IMAP, and I can get the correct configuration settings from them, but first want an app that is actually decent. Paid apps aren't out, but a trial first would be nice, or at least a pretty perfect review.
Thanks!
I use K-9 Mail for my comcast accounts (2 POP3), gmail account (IMAP) and my college email account (IMAP). It is HIGHLY customizable and works great been using it for years.
I just use Gmail. I probably have 6 different emails linked to it. For my college, I just it forward a copy to my primary gmail account. Then again, my college email is gmail based.
Gmail DOES support IMAP and POP.

The built in email app supports imap, I use it for my university. Just go to accounts and add it from there.

I find the built in app to be just fine and it should do IMAP, unless you tried it and are having issues. I use the built in email app for my college, except we use an MS Exchange server and it works fine.
The above two posters have better ideas. My method was to do it all through gmail on my computer and have all my emails linked to my main account, then just have 1 gmail app reading my primary account, but that's sort of a security risk. If someone gets into my primary gmail account, they can see everything.

Slayer621, why not setup 2 factor authentication on your gmail account? Your phone can be a soft-token, that way it will be more secure. When it comes to my University, they want all emails to instructors/staff to go through your main Uni account, so that's why I won't route everything through gmail.

I was looking to do it through the stock email app, but running SD5.1 ICS doesn't have the option to add an email account. I'll look into K9, but I may be heading back to Mav4 GB here soon anyways where there may be a stock email app. Thanks! I'll be back with updates.
Kinda hitting a dead end here. I'm on Mav4 and using the stock email app, I added my email address and pw, then I hit manually configure and entered what I could find from the school (Univ. of Pittsburgh, http://technology.pitt.edu/Document...obile/Mobile Devices and Enterprise Email.pdf), but couldn't get it to work. I'll be trying K9 tomorrow maybe.
So I was going crazy trying to reconnect my email service between my NX7 and my work exchange server. Yes, it worked at first, but then just stopped. I made sure that the partnerships in the OWA version of M$ Outlook under options >> phones didn't exceed 10 (that stops things dead). But once it died, it would show as a partnership in OWA, but the 'Corporate email' would not sync on the Nexus.
Fortunately, I had a Touchdown license from the Adam ...bingo back in business. Great product ... better calendar as well.
So, if you have this problem it is because JellyBean has a problem setting up with Exchange Server, and Touchdown is a great solution.

I haven't had any Exchange problems. I used to have Touchdown, back before Android really supported Exchange. It was good at the time, but now it kind of blows. I guess to each their own. I'll stick with the built in support instead.
