Is it possible (OWA / Msn Mail)

Hi all,
I was wondering two things:
First, can I find an app that can download the mail and calendar from a OWA website ? To be honnest, I can only navigate with WAP(port 81 / 443),so that's why I ask.I don't know if some app can manage this thing.
The second (with the same restriction of port 443 and 81) . Can I find an app that can alert me if I receive an email from my hotmail account?(with Home plugin if possible) ?
Thanks in advance,

Check this app out!
I haven't used it yet, as I just found it today, but if it does what it seems to, I believe it'll fix your problem. Good Luck!

For the OWA thing, this app is /will be very usefull !!!!
Great find!
I read other users that were still looking for this free app!
Thanks!
And for a Today screen plugin which tells me if I got new hotmail mail ? (with WAP connection??)

Thanks guys! There has been a few updates since your posts, here is the XDA link:

Sync Mail/Calendar using OWA
Hey guys,
I've been trying for a couple of days to get my Android device to sync my email/calendar via OWA details (e.g. webmail.domain.eg.ie domain\username) with no joy. Fortunately I'm the exchange admin (learning as I go...) but everything that should be enabled is enabled according to all the docs I've read round the web both from MS and here and on other Android forums. All exchange services running, including Active sync, external POP3 address configured blah blah blah.
iPhone users at the same site as me can set up with no issues just using the above credentials. I set it up on my android phone and it connects, authenticates then gives me the options about pushing, how many weeks worth of sh... stuff to sync, how big etc. and I set all that up then am presented with a blank screen.
I close and reopen email - goes back to the blank screen. Leave email open overnight hoping it's just crapping it's pants while it updates, wake up to a blank screen.
Any thoughts?

impossible, I think

SEVEN & Gmail -- can you archive and/or search email?

I've been messing around with SEVEN, and it seems to do everything I want (sync read/unread status, deletion) except I haven't found a way to archive email or search through All Mail.
Are those two things possible (or do you have to use the web interface or the java app)?

Seven treats gmail like any other imap server (at least for e-mail fetching functions, though I think the configuration is tweaked to deal with gmail's unique folder layout and have things work fairly seamlessly with what appear as "labels" in the gmail interface.
It also is limited to getting mail from a certain time period, instead of everything on g-mail's server.
So all you can view and search is what's from within that time period -- for anything else, you'll need the java app or web site.

Thanks for the info!
Too bad you can't archive email... There isn't a way to set up a label with a filter, so you can instead just move email into an archiving folder?
Also, is it possible to get the preview in TouchFlo 3D to show the content of the email? (it says "Click to view message" instead of showing me the head of the message).

Exchange Push email with TOUCHDOWN

Just downloaded and installed the new Touchdown update, that adds Push email.
I immediately paid for the license key after checking the program out.
Kickass App.
Not only does it give me push email for my exchange email, it also allows for multi-selecting emails for deletion.
Finally!!!.
Why Google couldn't have included this, is completely beyond me.
But when I evens ee what theme developers, as well as dxHome can do to chnage the look and feel of the phone, it seems to me that they did the bare minimum.
I still am hoping that future releases will see a much more smoother UI, and see some changes to add SOME eye candy to the Market and other pages.
As right now it's really quite drab and dreary.
Just like the original UI is very boring and bland.

I'm pretty certain the idea was, in fact, to do the bare minimum and then allow apps to extend the OS. It's good in thoery, but only once the apps start rolling in to fill the voids.
What I REALLY hope starts to happen is the ability to REMOVE stock apps once new ones start coming in. I already cant stand having both Mail and K9Mail, Messenging and K9SMS, COntacts and StarContact... that quickly bloats the app drawer and wastes memory.

I downloaded this over the weekend and tried to get it working with no luck. I tried both the 2007 and 2003 configuration, with and without it taking the server certificate. Both failed to work for me.
I wish I could get a working exchange software. Its the only thing missing from well almost from Android

I had a heck of a time getting it to work.
Untill I followed their PDF instructions to the letter.
And it worked immediatly.

Been using it since it was first released. Took me all of 3 minutes use to buy it back in November. I've been part of their beta program since then as well, and the 2.0 versions are just getting better and better.

I've been using it since initial release, then have been using beta builds, works great with pull and push for me. I'm on exchange 2003, support for the app is great, had few issues in early releases, worked with support and they resolved everything in no time.
overall great app, I've stopped using blackberry while ago.

How does the PUSH mail work
I have just installed the new version of Touchdown
it works perfectly, but how does the Push mail service work!!!
in a Blackberry the server updates the phone once a message arrives, but with touchdown no service is activated from the server, so how does the software do it??
Does it keep an internet connection open all the time? if so when my desktop is on and the message is downloaded directly to my Outlook, will it be able to get a copy before it is downloaded to my PC???
i have a limited data plan and that will make a big difference in my bytes consuption

Exchange Push and Touchdown
If you have not had push enabled previously, you will need to configure it from within you Exchange System Manager (Global Setting -> Mobile Services) and enable for your user account in the Active Directory Users and Computers App (Exchange Features - > Mobile Services). Once this is setup, you can follow the instruction provided by NitroDesk to validate and enable push support.
As messages are received by your exchange server, the server sends a message to your configured cellular providers messaging service - which basic sends a text message notification to your phone telling it that you have new mail on the server. The phone's email client then goes out to retrieve it. Operating this way avoids the need to have the email client continuously check the server for new email.
I hope this helps.
I currently have a problem with Touchdown inwhich the push services turn off soon after being enabled. Status goes from "Push Active" to "Push Off" on the main Touchdown screen. Does anyone have any words of wisdom?
Thx

I had the same problem. First check under connection that you have your full e-mail address written. Then under advanced re sync your folders and then under connection try again the active sync. If you don't get an error message when checking for active sync it should work.

do you need to have a static IP on your ISP end in order for this to work?
I'm running exchange server 2003 and want to test TouchDown and hopefully switch off my bb.
Thanks

Can I fix these problems if I root?

I have 3 basic issues with the phone, which I otherwise love. Here they are:
1 - The e-mail client cannot in-line forward e-mails. It attaches the forwarded message as a .eml file. This is especially annoying as Android cannot open .eml attachments. So essentially, if someone using and android phone forwards an e-mail to my android phone, I can't read it.
2 - Mail is never "marked as read" in the mail client unless either a refresh or more mail activity occurs. In other words, if I get an e-mail and read it on Outlook, it will stay unread on my phone. This leads to constant notifications of new mail, which I've already read unless I manually clear it. Note that the Gmail client does this fine, when mail is read on the computer, the phone knows and marks it read on the phone, eliminating the notification.
3 - I would really like to pull down the notification tray from the lock screen. Is this possible?
SO would I be able to fix these issues and would probably be willing to root, if rooting would fix them.
Thanks guys.

Monday bump

1 - Mail client doesn't change if rooted, so it'll do exactly the same until someone fixes the source and recompiles it. In that case you'll need to root to use it.
2 - This is the result of mail protocols, not anything to blame the phone / client for. It'll happen the same if you use 2 computers. Gmail client works because it uses push notifications from server. If I remember correctly, Exchange server also pushes when connected, so I suppose default mail client would work the same way if connected to Exchange server. Again, rooting won't help.
3 - I don't know of such mod. The only thing which is close, is disabling the lock screen completely - and for this (again, if I remember correctly, you can check it by searching either the forum or just google) you have to have root.

Also, you can try 3rd party mail clients for (1) and partial (2) solutions (refresh once in a defined while). I don't know any, since I've never used the mail client, but there might be some which address those problems.

ok, thanks guys.

Outlook Exchange connectivity and moving contacts

I have a Pixel 5 that I've been using Outlook on because I hate the gmail client, which has been working fine until now, when I'm trying to add a new Exchange account. I'm having two issues that may be somewhat related or not. As part of moving to the new server, I had to remove my old account. Before doing so, I moved all of my contacts from that account to the device. When I selected them all and then selected 'Move to another account', I was given the choice of moving to the device or to google. As I DO NOT want want my contacts in google, I moved them to my device. I then removed my old account, and proceeded to try to set up Outlook for my new account, which I end up getting 'The connection to your mail server times out. Please check your mail settings.'. The settings are correct, and other mail apps (gmail, nine, etc) work fine. Only Outlook refuses. About the only thing I've been able to find is Microsoft claiming it's because TLS 1.0 and/or 1.1 are enabled or it's a certificate issue. Well, it's not. The certificate is proper and trusted, and only TLS 1.2 is enabled on the server, 1.0 & 1.1 are disabled. Microsoft 'testconnectivity' site confirms that all is proper and functioning, including activesync.
I more or less gave up on Outlook for now, although if someone knows something I haven't found that'll make it work, that would be appreciated, however, at least for now, I decided to give Nine a shot, which may be a viable option. But that's where my other issue comes in. When I moved all of my contacts from my old account to my device, I was given the option of moving to my device or to my gmail account. Now, with my contacts on my device, when I select them all and try to move them, the only option is the gmail account. The 'Contacts' from the Nine app show up in the list of accounts when I go to select what account I want 'Contacts' to look in, and when I move a contact into my Exchange contacts, it shows up on my phone, and if I try to move the contact synced from Exchange via Nine, it give me the device and gmail options, but the phone refuses to give me an option to move my contacts that are on the phone anywhere other than gmail. Does anyone have any ideas why?
Thanks

Just to add - I dug out my old HTC phone and charged it up to do some further testing... using it's 'Exchange Activesync for HTC Sense' (which, in my opinion, is probably the best, most straightforward e-mail client I've ever used on an android phone), it works PERFECTLY. No stupidness, syncs things as expected, contacts and all. I set my account up on an older ipad that doesn't run the latest ios and thus won't run outlook, but with the native app, works perfectly. But my Pixel doesn't seem to know what the heck it wants to do. It seems like everything other than 'Outlook for Android' and my pixel knows what it should be doing and just does it, but my pixel is just out there running circles in the cornfield..... I also saw some bit where I could select WHICH contact lists to sync where there were more than one in the account, but I haven't been able to find that again, and have moved all 'contacts' folders out into a PST so that it's not trying to sync all of the different contacts folders when it does decide to sync something.
