Hi, I'm about to buy this phone, but I want to hear some opinions about email client, exchange support, exchange notes/task sync and exchange contacts search.
I found that default AOSP exchange integration is kind of "basic", on the other hand Samsung (Note JB) email client it's pretty good.
Can I have some advise regarding this?
Thanks!
The built in Exchange integration is a little basic for a high end business phone...
1. There is no Task or Note sync
2. Can't find setting for "sync on open" in Mail and Calendar
3. Exchange contact search works fine
4. Wil display html with Exchange 2003

Thanks, finally I bought it anyway. I found that it comes with moxier, it does everything I need but it have some layout problems that makes it unusable.
Anyway, loves the phone

I'm using Outlook 2007 on my desktop with 3 POP email accounts, calendar, tasks, etc.
Is there a fairly simple way to sync and push email to my Tilt without having exchange server available ?
Thanks,
DLD
Direct push is for exchange 2003 & 2007 only, it has nothing to do with the outlook client. Why don't you setup the pop3 on your phone? On my phone I have 1 exchange account, and 2 pop3 accounts, and it works great.
You could always try Emoze - http://www.emoze.com/ - some people love it, some people hate it. Not tried it myself.
Other options include using Live Mail - which supports push in WM6, or setting up a Mail2Web account. You could then create a rule in Outlook to forward any received mail to your new address. You might be able to configure Live Mail to pull from other Pop3 mailboxes (I know Gmail does this, but I don't know about Live Mail). That way all three Pop accounts end up in your Live Mail bucket, and you sync just that one account with your phone.
Any good?

I could do that, but then I'd have to manually check for mail.
It would just be nice to have blackberry-like mail arrival.

you can tell the phone to check every 5 mins for emails? that's just as regular as blackberry. battery sapping tho. its in the advanced section of the messaging setup. you can do it on symbian nokias too.

i wonder why this is free ?

Unless it is an unlocked version, there is a client ready to install on the Tilt that does the same thing. ExpressMail

I like the concept of XpressMail (using SMS notification, therefore good for battery life), though I've had little luck getting push to work. It rarely, if ever, worked on my MPX220. I eventually accepted the fact that I'd simply have to do a send/receive when I was interested in seeing if there was new mail. Now that I have the Tilt, I'm having the same reliability issues. It HAS worked... I've had a couple messages show up all on their own, but for the most part, they don't. I've gone into the online configuration @ https://xpressmail.cingular.com/, and found that I had not only one, but two devices set up (my MPX220 set up twice). I deleted both of those, but for some reason can't seem to get the Tilt added. I can go through the process, but once I select it, it just never gets added to the list. The list of emails online is correct, so obviously the xpress mail app is properly getting the emails from my mail provider (comcast), but it's either not sending out the SMS messages, or they aren't being interpreted correctly by the phone.
I had a situation where i needed to syn with 2 exchange servers, and i didnt' want to run a desktop app.
Google for "seven beta" and get the OWA Out of office. You can set it up to sync only email and it works like push off of the OWA of exchange. If you don't have exchange they have a desktop version. Seven is the same people who develop the xpress mail for cingular.
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.
Hi,
I'm using modaco FR15 default rom
I can add a exchange account, In my calendar I have my gmail account events, but not my exchange account events.
When I go to sync menu, I click on sync calendar, seems to work but no events show up on phone.
Which app should I replace for have it to work?
Thanks
no1 using exchange calendar ?
My exchange syncing works perfectly (apart from phone turning itself off! ). Sorry - were you sure to tick them, in the Exchange Account Sync settings (go into LG Email, into settings, choose the account, and then in "Sync item" make sure calendar is checked.
Edit: Sorry, I read too quickly that you're on FR15 - so you may not have LG Email app.
I have the same problems. I´ve decided to use TouchDown Exchange app. And it works fine. But one problem, it is not free :-(
But you can download trial version for 30 days.
One dummy question: where can i find type of my ROM?
Found the solution :
If you disabled the automatic synchronization (and then you want to synchronize only when you click on it (= doing it manually)) it won't work.
You have to let automatic synchronization and it works. I got my exchange + gmail calendars in the same time.
Good to know - thanks for letting us know. I guess you can always set the automatic sync period to 12 hours, if you want to protect your battery.
Well if I want to sync my Exchange Calender (Exchange Server 2003 Ent.) then the LG Mail Client (which syncs the Exchange mail) crashes on opening a mail).. Calender items do not get synchronized too. The little round sync arrows turn round but stop and then no sync??
Someone got a solution for that (except for buying an app??).
Hi guys
I‘m new here. I just want to ask how to exchange facebook. I mean to have all birthdays from my facebook contacts in my phone calender.
I know that is possible. But how.
Facebook is sinchronized.

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
I tried to configure my Galaxy Note to work with an Exchange server. The emails sync fine, but contacts and calendar do not show up at all on the phone. Anyone knows what I need to do to get my contacts and calendar to show up?
Thanks
Wow, deafening silence... lets ask it this way, did anyone manage to sync contacts and/or the S Planner with an Exchange server?
I would like to use the google account only for the Android Market and sync everything with the exchange server at work.
Works fine for me, syncing OTA with an exchange 2010 SP2 server. Email, contacts, calendar, and even tasks.
Works fine for me too...

Worked fine for a few weeks, but having the same problems. Doesn't sync anymore with exchange. Now using Moxier and it works great but I really mis the S Planner together with S Memo. Also the graphics of Moxier is very simple, but it works. Would be great if there was a solution for syncing well again. Strange though that it worked fine for about 2 weeks.
It's a problem that I had faced since I got my note since last Nov. It started with "IRM not supported" error after syncing fine with Exchange 2007. Read more from my thread in my signature (if I remembered putting there). If not, search with the words
"IRM not supported". I'm with LA1 now and still have problem, latest being missing emails. While waiting for new firmware, I'm relying on TouchDown for my emails.

Can you give some guidelines. What is the name of you tasks in exchange and the name in s-planner. I can send task to exchange but I can´t received.
Best Regards
