I have two ActiveSync exchange accounts I need to set up...one sets up fine (no domain) but the other continues to error out. They are the same settings I used on my Droid Charge for the two weeks I had it, the same settings I used on my G2 for the year I had it, and even works in Touchdown on the D3, but not on the standard software on the phone...
Anybody else successfully setup an exchange account with domain?

I set mine up with domain, as I did a thousand times on Tbolt. Piece of cake. Immediately go into manual of course and go from there. I have not set up two accounts however.
Are you using a self signed SSL certificate? I'm waiting back for official word from Motorola, but I think the Droid 3 doesn't support it, which makes no sense since every other droid has (and Android in general).
I fear for what Blur is going to do to this phone.
lol, the blur on this phone is better than any android skin or aosp... by far.... and i'm coming from a DX and hate blur.
I've had a droid since day one, I can't wait to get asop or cyanogen running on this. I love the hardware and speed of the phone, but after running cyanogen the last 1+ years, its hard to live with the stock moto blur
I agree, cant wait to get CM on this. The bloatware sucks, and although the phone is fast I know it would be a lot faster on CM....
for now though, I'm actually not annoyed with blur (yet)

I'm not sure, I just know that SSL is needed for the account settings to work, and that my account works fine in Touchdown, but when I set it up in the stock "email" app, it errors out. And yes, I'm connecting manually and inputting the correct server address...

Im getting the same issue, trying to load up my regular email account.
I manually put all the right values in, as I have in the desktop email program, thunderbird, to no avail.
Anyone got a clue what is wrong?
I was able to sync my work exchange account no problem, went pretty easy.
What are you guys trying to connect to?
Exchange Server ? Do you know what version?

Just my regular ISP's email account.
UPDATE: Went to my ISP's site for instructions. Seems on the android, Mediacom wants secure authentication to retrieve emails.
Thunderbird doesn't require that to log in, for some reason.
Touchdown, which works with this account on the D3 btw, says this:
Connection Mode: ActiveSync ONLY
"Uses SSL" and "Fetch and trust certificate (not recommended)" are both checked.
When I go to Refresh ActiveSync Settings in Touchdown it says:
Versions:Microsoft-IIS/7.0,1.0,2.0,2.1,2.5,12.0,12.1
Policies:SET
Again, this email account has been properly setup on:
Droid Charge running 2.2
T-Mobile G2 running CM7 and CM6
T-Mobile MyTouch Slide running CM7
Yet, when I put in the settings into EMAIL on the Droid 3 it comes back with "Error: Count not connect to server."
Ive noticed one thing with exchange emails the last couple days and wanted to see if others were having it.
Has anyone had emails cut off, like its only loading some of the message. I get daily email updates on some xda threads, and it seems if they are very long it cuts it off and you can't read the whole message. Didn't have this problem on my old droid so must be something in motorolas new setup.

I've seen it, but I'm not seeing it right now when I check my email. Perhaps I changed a setting but I do remember having to select something to see the rest of the email.

Motorola's software isn't defective and works as intended. The corporate sync doesn't trust self signed certificates. But there are ways to work around this and later set the account to not verify it's certificates. First you need to either setup the account while on wifi on the same network or setup activesync to answer http requests. Meaning allow insecure connections. Once you do this you can setup the account insecurely, then goto settings -> accounts -> the email account in question and deselect the verify certificates option. Yes I agree that motorola is a pain for doing this, but the device is actually more secure disallowing self signed certificates.
I have to use K-9 Mail for my corporate, since Motorola doesn't support self-signed certificates.

I cannot setup the account while on the same wifi network, as there is no wifi allowed on that network. How do I "setup activesync to answer http requests?" Thanks for the above info and your help in the future with this.
If its any conciliation I cannot get my work mail to sync regardless of allowing or disallowing the self signed certificate. I will have to try it over WiFi to see if that helps, and I wasn't trying to use exchange either.
I do however consider the mail client defective as I did not have this issue on previous Moto Android 2.2 devices.
I have a strange email issue on my WP8. I use Yaho Mail if that matters; the problem is that when a new email comes in it deletes the one before so I always only have one email in inbox..
Is it deleting also from the server side? Did you try to delete whole account and setup again?

Yeah, I've actually deleted it a few times now. I don't know what is up with Windows Phone where it won't remember my account password even though it is entered correctly; after a while it will say your attention is required and I have to delete it and add it back so it can work. I use to have this issue with Windows Phone 7 and thought that it would be addressed in 8. I'll have to check on the server side.
Okay I found out the issue but I don't get it. When I go to Yaho mail, all my email is in the Trash I moved everything back to the inbox and it shows up on the phone. However when I open my Outlook it sends all of my Yahoo mail to the trash but only online
Ok, I cant really test because Im not using that email. Do you have some settings on your server side that could affect this, also does your service provider offer alternative servers for downloading email?
You probably have the account setup as IMAP, you could use POP and set the settings so it does not delete emails after downloading etc?

Is anyone else having issues adding an exchange email account using the Gmail app? I flashed my phone to the stock 5.0.1 (LRX22C) version. After returning to complete stock I rooted and flashed TWRP but the issue was present before I made those changes.
Nope. Mine's running stock 5.0.1 without issue. 2 exchange accounts and 1 gmail account attached.

Thanks. Were the accounts already setup prior to updating which didn't require you to add them back after the update?

I'm not sure what the issue is but i'm tempted to downgrade just to start troubleshooting. I know we haven't made any changes to our exchange server so I'm confused as to what's causing the issue all of a sudden. Thanks for your help though. :good:
I have two exchange accounts (going to different domains) configured in gmail. I've deleted and recreated the accounts several times over the past 2 weeks. Both are configured to "push."
The only problem I've encountered is that, on occasion, the notification sound for the second exchange account is wrong. (It's configured as one tone, but for some reason that I haven't discovered yet, it might play a different tone - but only for that second account, only about half the time, and it always plays the same wrong tone.)
(Of course, there are other issues, but they usability issues and not really bugs.)

Thanks for your input. I just tried wiping data for exchange services but it still failed. I'll have to take a look at our exchange server to see if something may be blocking it all of a sudden.
I was able to add an Exchange account on the gmail app after flashing the 5.0.1 factory image. What is the issue you are facing?

The error is related to permissions connecting to the server. I think this issue i'm having is helping to recognize a potential issue with our exchange server that may have just occurred that we were not aware of. We're currently in the process of testing other devices to see if we receive the same error message. I didn't think it was our server because nothing had changed, to our knowledge anyways. Seems the timing was just ironic.. Update to 5.0.1 and exchange server issues on the same day. Have to love technology lol.

Hi,
don't know if this helps, but i had this issue and turned out that even though i was using gmail and exchange services was enabled. Because i had disabled the old email app as i didn't think it was required anymore, i could no longer setup my exchange account.
My problem with my exchange account was with encryption. Before I upgraded to .1 it was fine. I'm aware that lolli is encrypted by default but when I upgrade to .1 and try to add the accounts it wants me to encrypt so the phone reboots like it's going to encrypt but then does nothing because it's already encrypted but for some reason exchange doesn't seem to teahouse this. This is using the gmail app. I reverted back to .0 and all is fine. So not sure what's going on but frustrating for sure.

The issue was actually on my behalf. Being a flashaholic, I had maxed out the number of devices that could be connected to my exchange account. All is fine on my end now and no issues.. Well besides slow download speeds within the app store. Not sure what's causing it but running a speed test using Ookla, the speeds are accurate but upon downloading apps the speeds slow down drastically.

Is your phone using the original google firmware, or something you downloaded and installed yourself?
The stock firmware has the app needed for gmail and exchange, while AOSP based firmware does not.

Exchange Services
Download the apk file from here, force close gmail and relaunch. U will c "Exchange" option in new account now. Cheers!!

I've had this lg g4 for about two hours now and i have been unable to get my outlook email account to sync. previously on my lg g3 it was as simple as just logging in and it would sync however now on my lg g4 it wont even allow me to add the email account. starting from a factory reset i go into the email application and select Microsoft exchange. from their i attempt to log into my account. then it tells me its checking auto info then after a couple seconds it says in a pop up. setup incomplete. cannot connect to server. check network connection and info, then try again. ( i have tried doing it on my data network and on my wifi both give the same result) then it brings me to the manual setup ( server address domain etc) ive googled and searched and tried different ports and server addresses to no avail and i am dumbfounded as to how i am supposed to sync my account to my phone. another perplexing thing it seems is that even the outlook app from Microsoft on the play store gives me the same behavior saying it cannot reach the server and using exchange services apk. gives the same behavior (gave me error code: status 110). the other odd thing is that i can make it sync just my outlook mail (using pop?) however not my calendar contacts etc. any ideas?
my g3 never exhibited any of this behavior.

1) Did you try setting up exchange email from settings>accounts&sync and then add account and pick exchange? This is how I did and it is working just fine and I can sync my calendar + email.
2) Did you update built in LG Apps? Settings>About phone>Update center> App Updates and see if there are any updates(there is an exchange app which will also be updated)

2) May I assume that you have data connection if not using WiFi? - you did indicate that you tried both, but just wanted to make sure.
3) Also set up exchange server could have some outage and it isn't the phone's issue. Keep trying, because it does work on my phone.

thank you for taking the time to try and help me!
Try to reboot your phone maybe
We have Office 365 at my workplace. When I punch in my email in the Outlook app, I just get: "There was a problem accessing the site. Try to browse to the site again." It was working prior to rooting.
Are you using 2-step authentication? If so you need to use and Create a new app password from your security and password settings under Account Settings on the MS site. This is if you are using the regular email app vs the Outlook.com app from MS.
NM. See you got it working and was outage related. My bad.
Glad the OP was able to get this resolved ... I too use exchange for work and simply wanted to share my preferred exchange email app.

G4'ed it!
Due to my company's policy, we need to register the mobile phones using MS Intune Company Portal and can use only Outlook app for the official mails and calendar. Both these apps can be downloaded via Aurora Store but the registration of the device fails due to the Google Play Protect check during the enrollment of the device. The 2nd step during enrollment fails with an error message regarding the network connection or something similar. After struggling with this for almost a week, I finally found some workarounds. Hope this is useful for someone.
For Mails:
I use Blue Mail for all my other mails and was using this with my official mails (Office 365) as well, till about a year ago when the company admins introduced a strict check of Outlook app with Intune Portal as the only way to receive the official mails. Since then I had been using both the MS apps for my official mails in my previous Samsung phone. But this stopped working after I moved over to Huawei due to the GPP check mentioned above. Here's the workaround for it:
This will work only if you have web access to your official emails i.e. you are able to use the a broswer to check your official emails.
In Blue Mail, add new account (instead of using Office 365, use Exchange).
Enter full email address and password.
Check Automatic.
Uncheck ActiveSync. Click Next.
For the Exchange Server setting, use the exchange server URL being used by your company. Typically, it is the 1st 3 in the url of your web access to the outlook email. In a lot of cases, this would be outlook.office365.com
Security - SSL/TLS.
If you see a dropdown Access Type, select EWS (Exchange Web Services). Do not select Automatic or ActiveSync.
That should work. The office365 outlook emails should be visible in Blue Mail. The calendar is not synced with this workaround. The needs a different route in.
For Calendar:
I use Google Calendar for all my other activities and so I wanted to add my outlook entries to GCal to have them all in one place.
The easiest way is to publish your calendar from Outlook Office 365 and import it as a URL in GCal.
Steps:
Go to the web view of your outlook.
Click on the Settings icon.
Click "View All Outlook Settings".
Go to Calendars->Shared Calendars.
Click on the ICS Link and click "Copy Link".
This can now be imported in the google calendar as a separate new calendar but the issue is that any updates to your outlook calendar are synced 1-2 times a day only. If that is fine go ahead and import it. I wanted the sync to happen every 5-10 min.
For this, you can use the GAS-ICS-Sync script from GitHub (https://github.com/derekantrican/GAS-ICS-Sync)
Follow the installation and run instructions on the site. You can configure how often the calendar should sync etc in the code.gs file.
Hope this helps someone

Hi all,
I was using my Huawei P40 lite with my company's Intune app and everything was working perfectly fine.
A few days ago, it seems like Intune underwent a major update, and it now requires Google Mobile Services and Google Play Store to download the apps and securize corporate data. It would also now duplicate all apps on your phone's to create a pro environment separated from the normal private environment. Hence now all apps used for pro and private purpose should be duplicated (pro securized outlook app VS private outlook for private mails / one securized google Play store to download a limited set of certified pro apps VS the complete Google play store for private use.
Since my company is forcing to update to the new Intune, looks like the enrollment will fail in Intune on P40 phone with GMS ban. I get the process started, but it will freeze after a few steps, probably when trying setup the Pro environment and installing the Pro Google Play Store on the phone...
- Do you know if this new version of Intune with Google Play Store to securize the company's apps and data is standard or only tailored for my company ?
- If standard, is there any workaround for phones without GMS, or is Huawei/Microsoft working on an alternative for Huawei's P40s ?
I have not found anything so far and I just dont feel like changing to another phone.
Thanks very much for your time.

I was exactly in your situation and stuck at the same place as you mention, that is why I posted the above workaround. You don't need Intune Portal or Outlook if you follow the steps in my post. The only precondtion being that you have access to your web outlook mails through a browser. For now, this is what is working for me. I'm hoping MS and Huawei will work out a permanent solution soon, but haven't heard anything specific regarding this.
My wife's company also uses Intune. She can't complete the setup. Somewhere in the last step, the setup freezes on some "getting company resources" or something. She submitted a ticket to their IT department but for now there is zero activity over there. I guess this requirement for the GMS is breaking everything. :/ I will try your suggestion, I hope it works. Thanks for the hints.

Thanks Lazerbourne.
I havent tried yet. But i cannot access my company's email login to outlook.com from a non-corporate PC. It says my company does not allow.
I learned a bit more about this issue. Turns out it is not only about having Google Mobile Services on your phone or not. Actually Intune now provides the option to the admins to to block Android enrollments by device manufacturer. My company is British, they apprently blocked Huawei devices in their settings... you got the story... so dumb... Not sure something can be done until politics get back to normal.

My wife's company also uses Intune. She can't complete the setup. Somewhere in the last step, the setup freezes on some "getting company resources" or something. She submitted a ticket to their IT department but for now there is zero activity over there. I guess this requirement for the GMS is breaking everything. :/ I will try your suggestion, I hope it works. Thanks for the hints.

Most welcome. Hope it worked for your wife. Mine is going good 2 weeks into it.

Thanks Lazerbourne.
I havent tried yet. But i cannot access my company's email login to outlook.com from a non-corporate PC. It says my company does not allow.

Exactly!! Mine too had blocked access to Huawei devices in the enrollments that is what was preventing the access. The web access though works from any OS and browser so the above workaround should work for you (presuming the admins have allowed the access to outlook web mail. This too can be blocked in the config settings of the mail server but most companies allow it since it doesn't store anything locally on the phones). Give it a go and see if it works for you.

Hi again,
To report back - I was able to set the BlueMail emails using your method. The only thing I was having as a problem was that there were no notifications on new email. I had to switch from "Push" to "fetch on some interval" and the phone started getting the notifications. I excluded the app from all battery things but the "Push" method didn't work. :/ If you have some hints it would be great - I am not sure does this fetch method on 3 mins impact battery so much? If not then let it be.
I haven't still tried the solution for the calendar but I have to try it soon.
P.S.
My wife's P40 Pro is HMS+microg setup.
Thanks again for your insights.

Fantastic!! :good:
I would suggest to leave the Fetch on for a day and see how the battery is impacted. The Fetch normally wakes the app in the background and sends a fetch request to the mail server. Theoretically, it shouldn't be a big battery drain.
For my phone, the push notifications are working fine since I'm using the Freeze GSF method (with GMS) to get the notifications working for all the apps. My config HMS+GMS+Frozen GSF.
I've read about conflict issues if you have microG and GMS together on the same phone, so this method may not work for you.
If in the future, you decide to reset the phone, then give it (HMS+GMS+Frozen GSF) a try. That way, all the apps are updated via Aurora Store+Huawei Store, all the notifications and location services for all the apps are working fine. All Huawei updates and Google Play Services updates too work.

Due to my company's policy, we need to register the mobile phones using MS Intune Company Portal and can use only Outlook app for the official mails and calendar. Both these apps can be downloaded via Aurora Store but the registration of the device fails due to the Google Play Protect check during the enrollment of the device. The 2nd step during enrollment fails with an error message regarding the network connection or something similar. After struggling with this for almost a week, I finally found some workarounds. Hope this is useful for someone....

Tried as per this method. Via EWS the error is "Cannot connect to the server". With ActiveSync it works but downloads just one message saying I must enroll via Portal. ..
I have installed Intune Portal. For that, I needed to downgrade my firmware to .131, install googlefier as per the instructions, upgrade the firmware once again to .157, periodically suppressing series of annoying notifications "Your device is not certified for Play Protect, Google services will not run" (despite I have registered my GWS Device ID with this account and disabled all notifications from Play market already!).
Now Google Services work moreless OK (Play Market works, so do all apps, but the annoying messages keep popping up).
But then Intune only able to create work profile, when going to "Activate your profile" step it generates a lot of "Device not certified for Play Protect" and then finally says "Could not connect to the server, network may be down" etc. No certificate is created on server, nothing. After that, Intune disables itself.
UPDATE: Here Microsoft writes something on the matter. I understand the problem is driven by some specific corporate policies configured in a way to rely on GMS (whilst it can potentially be also delivered without them). Will check with admins if this can be amended somehow.

@schtirtliz - That is correct. Its due to the reliance on GMS which in some ways is mitigated by using the sideloaded GMS (using Googlify etc.). The main problem is with the Google Play Protect for which there is no workaround yet. Updating the policies on the main server is an option, another could be to ask the admins to enable the web access (EWS). EWS will sooner or later be made obsolete so this workaround may not last too long. Hopefully by then MS would have figured out a way

Admins won't change the policy I am receiving some reassuring comments on other forums, from people who managed to get it working with some instructions like this

But nothing worked for me yet...

Update. I have managed to install GMS with another instructions from here https://youtu.be/XvFQkavPZnk
All apps work perfectly now, no errors.
However, Intune still does not work. Once it creates work profile, it clones all Google stuff into it, and immediately new "badged" version of Google Play starts to generate same Play Protect errors and block further progress (unbadged one keeps working well).
Is there any way to sideload and install "GMS fix.apk" under work profile? Maybe via adb etc.? I tried but it says no access to shell... how does that cloning process work, why does it clone some unpatched version rather than taking patched one from the system files?
Thanks!
I doubt that would work since the Work profile is created to prevent exactly this i.e. installing patched apks or using root hiding apps for rooted devices.
Got this to work, but does anyone know how I can det up shared inbox? Its easy in Outlook, but cant see how in blue ?

Do you mean Unified Inbox? Click on the top left icon of the app, you'll see the Unified Inbox and also the individual mail boxes.
Enable Play Protect

Hi, please, did you manage to enable the Google Protect?
Thanks!
I managed to get both email and calendar using "Nine - Email & Calendar" from Play Store. I'm using gsf freeze, and also have Vanced microG installed. Installed GMS this summer, don't use googlify. Only hoping it will last..
Used the settings from first post:
-full email ([email protected], CN = Common Name from AD), not my [email protected]
- Exchange Server instead of Office 365
- SSL/TLS
Did not have a choice to uncheck ActiveSync, so this is checked.
