Hotmail Syncing

Sorry if this has been addressed already, but I thought it relevant so I'm posting it here. I've always used just my GMail account with the native app and it's worked fine so I never really bothered with my Hotmail account since it's only POP mail and I feel that having it poll my Inbox every 15mins drains the battery heavily. But I read this morning that they've just started rolling out the new Windows Live Hotmail Wave 4 today, which includes Exchange ActiveSync support for Push email and Account syncing for Calendar and Contacts.
As it's being rolled out in clusters, my account hasn't been upgraded yet. But I decided to try to set up my account to Push anyways and it seems like it's working fine.
If you want to do the same in the Stock Email App, Add a New Account. Then input your Email Address and Password then hit the Manual Setup button and Select Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync and use these settings:
Domain\Username: \username@hotmail.com
Password: password
Server: m.hotmail.com
Use Secure Connection (SSL): Yes
Accept all SSL Certificates: No
hit Next, then make sure the Email Check Frequency is set to Automatic (Push) and then just set your other sync options. (I've only synced mail since my contacts and calendar are synced with GMail).
I'm sure some things will change when my account actually gets the upgrade, but for now, it's basically all I need.
Full Disclosure: I'm on 2.2 and using the stock Email App for this. I don't know how this will impact 2.1 or if you're using K9 or Touchdown, etc. so feel free to post you results.

Just tried your settings with the 2.1 email app and it's no go.

Just tested...
...and it works! Running 2.2 (FRF50).
Even though I rarely use it and that it's mostly used for pretty useless mail it's still nice that it works, finally.

Using stock 2.1 update 1, it works except there's no calendar option(should only available in 2.2), but the server is not very stable, need a few more retry to connect

Must be why it failed then.

2.2 you can add with out having to change any settings.

Do you know the setting to use in any other apps? The stock mail app doesnt allow showing html pictures, so i'd prefer to use k-9 or touchdown...
THANKS!!

Worked for me on 2.1 email app. Now, how do I get a widget to show me the unread count?

Finally MS do something useful to their antiquated service!

Tried it, but doesn't work (yet)
Do you get an e-mail when your account is upgraded?

Guess that is cool if it works, but you can only have 1 Exchange Activesync account on any device...that includes iPhone, WinMo etc...

Has this stopped working for anyone? I'm just getting 'unable to connect to server' now.

Same here, getting the "Unable to open connection to server."-message now.
The wierd thing is that yesterday I got the little yellow bar up top in Hotmail telling me to restart the browser to try the new version (which is what actually got me to try this) but nothing really changed, rollback?

Technically true, but two Push accounts can be accomplished on both Android & WinMo(windows live + exchange)

For us with X10's who are stuck with version 1.6 of Android,
What are the settings to get this working in K9? Has anyone successfully got it working with that mail prog?
Thanks!

Still not working here. Go Microsoft

Small update:
My Hotmail account was upgraded to Wave 4 this morning... Hotmail via Exchange? Still no go. It worked for about an hour back on 17th June, and nothing since.

Well it's all working again now

so its real push service?
if yes i need try this
i wa susing SEVEN but lack of html =(

Yes, it's proper push.

[Q] Hotmail issue with Salsa (deleting from server against my wish?)

When I look at my Salsa's Hotmail inbox, I regularly notice emails there which are not reaching my inbox on PCs, tablet or laptop. The Salsa seems to be deleting the emails from the server despite that option being unticked in the Salsa's Hotmail settings.
My settings on the Salsa are:
POP
pop.live.com
SSL
995
Login required: yes (I've tried yes & no)
smtp.live.com
TLS
587
Ask before deleting: On (I've tried On & Off, though I know this relates to manually deleting emails)
Refresh on open: No (Again, tried yes & no)
Auto download message: Off (tried both)
Delete mail on server: Off
I've tried deleting the account on the phone and setting it up again, but with no success in sorting the problem. Oddly, it seems that the same emails senders disappear, ebay for example. Since I got the phone, no ebay emails have made it to any of my computers. I can't promise to be 100% accurate that it's a set list of senders always being deleted but I'm certain about ebay and fairly sure about the rest.
Note also that the emails are not available in Hotmails on a web browser, even if I try their recovery setting.
Any helpful suggestions (other than "Stop accessing Hotmail through your Salsa"!:laugh: )?

i only use the email app and nothing else for gmail and Hotmail and i find its fine. using another external app is pointless really. i found just setting Hotmail as pop mail and using my normal login. as for emails deleting that's new to me....Ive never had that issue. which rom are you using by the way?

Sorry, should have said I'm still using your Big Bear X v11.
And I'm just using the standard "Mail" app for Hotmail & another account, and the GMail app for GMail. It's only Hotmail I'm having trouble with.
I should also add that sometimes the emails even disappear from the phone after being there moments before! What alerted me to the issue was seeing a competition in an email and deciding to enter via PC. So I went into Outlook but the email wasn't in Hotmail there. I went straight back to the phone and the email was now missing. It's as though there is some screwed up sync happening behind closed doors but I definitely have "Sync deleted items from server" disabled as well, so even that doesn't make sense.
If you have no suggestions for now, I'll delete the account from my phone again for a few days and see if the problem goes away - I'll know because ebay emails should start appearing on my other devices every day or so.
I'll wait till you reply again before doing that just in case you have any other suggestions.
Thanks.

OK, I'm going to copy your settings and see if that makes any difference.
Previously, I had as above but:
size 50kb (the default setting)
Auto download off (but only after trying on)
I don't see why the message size would affect the server unless for some reason it would delete from the server if the message was above the 50kb I had set on the phone, but surely not?
I'll let you know how that goes.

This morning's results:
Emails received on all devices - 6 different senders
Emails only received on Salsa - 4 different senders
So almost half my Hotmail emails aren't reaching my other devices
Next step, I guess, is to remove the Hotmail account from the phone and see if emails from the missing senders start appearing again...

this is odd, i don't usually use Hotmail via the phone anyway, i have it there to check my daughters Facebook etc as the notifications come through there, so its not really bothered me to much on what mails come through, but since you have mentioned this i have noticed only a small amount have come through as i went onto Hotmail via the website and found loads more lol, so i do wonder if its Hotmail itself that restricts it and not the email app.

That's really odd! At least it looks like it's not just me then, even if that's not a solution. I just wanted access to my Hotmail when I'm away from home to keep tabs on things or for online offers I may want to take advantage of, that sort of thing. I wouldn't mind so much if it was the other way round, i.e. that the phone was failing to receive some emails and they were all on the PCs but it's the PC I'm going to archiving them on and I don't want to be needing to forward emails and all the hassle and confusion that causes (as in the sender then being me, and the time stamp being wrong etc.) Even if there's the equivalent of a PST file that can be copied from an Android device to a PC with Outlook (is there?), it's still far from ideal.
I'm still totally mystified why the phone is getting all my Hotmails whilst my PCs, laptop and Nexus 7 (unrooted btw) and the Hotmail site itself are missing them! I can't speak for the N7, as I got that more recently than the phone, but the PCs and laptop all used to get everything (as far as I can be sure) before I got the Salsa - they all were in sync with the Hotmail website's emails.
The only possibility I can currently see is that somehow the Salsa is (selectively) deleting emails from the server, but even then that would require it always to be the first to download them. I suppose that's possible because whilst I usually have one PC on 24/7 I only run Outlook as and when I want to check emails. Hmmm, there's an idea! If I leave Outlook running constantly for a few days (seeing as I get far fewer Hotmails at the weekend) I wonder if it will download from the affected senders before the phone allegedly deletes them? Again, not a solution but possibly a way of confirming whether it really is the phone deleting them.

This is my guess at this problem
1. Have seen what POP does to your account ?, it downloads an email from the server and delete it on the server. That's the reason you cant see them on other devices N7 or your Outlook enabled computer.
2. With IMAP settings, similar to our Gmail app, you can access all you emails from the server even if you delete them from it. Regardless.

Still not working!
8 emails reached all devices but a further 7 only reached the Salsa. Outlook remained running the entire time.
Times and whether they reached the other devices:
02:28 No
03:24 No
05:02
06:04
06:06
06:11
07:19
07:42
09:04
10:00 No
10:15 No
11:15
12:34 No
12:35 No
12:49 No
Interesting that most (not quite all) "lost" emails were in an uninterrupted time period. Whether that's relevant I don't know after only one day. I'll make a similar list on Monday (rarely get anything on a Sunday).

I see a problem with IMAP settings (unless I'm misinterpreting them) in that deleting an email on the phone would delete it on the server, leaving it unavailable to other devices. I need to be able to access the emails at different times on different devices and be able to delete some emails from the phone without losing them from Outlook.
An example: An email arrives from Paypal to say a payment has gone through. I see that on my phone but don't need to keep it on the phone, so I delete it. But, I do want to save it in a folder in Outlook when I have the chance to get to my PC. If I start Outlook, isn't that email going to be unavailable to download and therefore save?
Incidentally, I tried to follow instructions on setting up a Hotmail address with IMAP (using a secondary account I have) but I get failed authentication messages. Looks like somebody may have had the same issue in the final comments here.

Hotmail, doesn't offer IMAP protocol on Android !!, they use something called an Exchange ActiveSync
Moreover, they have released their version of an application which you can download on the Playstore, I suggest have a test of the application and see if the emails are appearing there.

Hello,
You just described POP which you are currently using in your Salsa that is, "deleting an email on the phone would delete it on the server, leaving it unavailable to other devices.". That is what POP does. It deletes the email from the server if you delete it from the phone.
No once you delete the Ebay email from your phone it will not be available on the desktop or your N7, thats POP for you.
IMAP on the other hand deletes it from the phone and goes into, IMAP trash in our Gmail account on desktop. So you can view them on any devices running normal/IMAP Gmail. An image for your reference has been attached.
Sorry for being hasty, but XDA doesnt allow post within 2 minutes of each other.

I'll give the app a shot. You wouldn't think it would be so difficult just to access some emails. It's not even that likely I'd want to reply to emails from the phone very often, if at all, I just want to be able to read them when I'm not at the PC and know they'll still be on the PC when I go there.

Ok, so the relevant thing is delete versus permanently delete!
I think the confusion I'm feeling is that my non-hotmail accounts in Outlook are all using POP but with the option to leave emails on the server.

Ya sure will do, this problem was precisely the reason the university I went to, shifted from Hotmail/Outlook to Gmail/Outlook. many of the lecturers didn't know the next day where the older mails went !! :laugh:
I just created a draft mail on my Salsa running on the Hotmail account and the same draft mail would not appear on my desktop Hotmail and vice-verse
Attached image is my University account where IMAP is enabled on my Salsa through the normal Mail app, not the Gmail one.
OK, Here [2nd attached] is my Thunderbird settings for IMAP, it clearly shows what do you want to do with the deleted items :highfive::highfive:

I've now installed the hotmail app and I'll allow both it and the standard email app to handle Hotmail for a couple of days or so, just to make sure they are in sync with each other. If they are, I'll delete Hotmail from the email app and see if I then retain all emails in Outlook or if the problem continues.

I actually got several Hotmails today so I was able to catalogue the success (or otherwise of the Hotmail app when still accessing Hotmail through the default email app too). Times of all Hotmails received, and whether Outlook or my Nexus & also received them:
("x" means in Hotmail app. "no" means not in Outlook, Hotmail.com or Nexus 7)
00:27 no
00:40 no
02:35 x
02:40 x
05:17 no
06:04 x
07:02 no
08:04 x
08:20 no
09:17 no
09:35 x
10:07 x
10:19 x
10:33 x
11:44 x
13:43 x
So in summary, both the email app and Hotmail app receive all the Hotmails whilst the same emails are missing from both Outlook and the N7. Not really the result I would have hoped for as it would appear that removing Hotmail from the email app and just using the Hotmail app would still end up with me losing emails in Outlook & N7. (I wanted to see an "x" next to all times above).
The next step (after forwarding any "Salsa-only" Hotmails of importance to my other devices*) will be to delete Hotmail from the email app and see how that affects things. It may be that I still have the same issue if the Hotmail app still gets emails which are missing elsewhere and I have to re-think how to get Hotmail on my Salsa without losing emails on other devices.
*Sending from Hotmail on the Salsa to the same Hotmail address, it still doesn't reach any device including
the Salsa (though I know sometimes it can take a while doing that so maybe it will get there eventually). Sending to a non-Hotmail address works as soon as I check Outlook.
I'll update after I've received enough emails tomorrow to see what's happening.

Still no positive progress. After deleting Hotmail from the email app and continuing with the Hotmail app on the Salsa, here are the results up to lunchtime today:
10/12:
(Deleted Hotmail from Salsa's email app before any emails rec'd today)
("x" means in Hotmail app. "no" means not in Outlook, N7 or Hotmail.com)
02:52 x
02:56 x
08:53 x
09:04 x
10:08 x
10:14 x
10:42 x no
10:43 x
10:48 x no
11:23 x
12:08 x
So, as you can see, the Salsa still seems able to prevent my other devices receiving some emails and permanently deleting them from the server - remember, they are not even recoverable from the Hotmail deleted items using their recovery tool.

[Q] Gmail Exchange Setup

Hey all,
just upgraded from a Note2 to the Xperia Z.
I've been trying to setup my Exchange email for over an hour without success,
I've got it setup on the note2 working fine and notifying when mails are coming in. So settings seem right, but it won't budge on the Xperia Z, I know google talked about ending support for Exchange, but surely if it's working on my current phone, why not work on my new phone?

i've tried everything i can think of, while my other phone is quite happily notifying me of emails coming in, i really don't understand what i'm doing wrong here, surely Google aren't stopping my new phone, but allowing my old phone? If so thats a bit rubbish.
Any and all help welcome, thanks
Luke.

Same here. I have switched to android 2 weeks ago from iphone. On iphone i was getting e-mail notifications from google instantly when message was received on google server for few last years. Now it is not so good. I have checked now set up instructions for google sync and it says that it is for Google apps for business, education and government users. It was free for all before. It is free for all old users though but it seems that when you switch phones while using same gmail account, it does not transfer. Notifications on my ipad are still instant.

Why do you use exchange instead of the Gmail app?

One reason especially on my old Samsung was that it displayed emails in a better format, as gmail used to have a stupid limit to the zoom meaning i had to scroll left to right on emails and it was bloody annoying. Also i find Exchange is near instant on arrival, while gmail is anywhere from instant to 5 minutes late.
If this is the scheme of new phones no longer working on exchange i'm pretty pissed off with google.

Yahoo mail problem

I am reading my Yahoo mails via standard HTC Mail app. Is anyone else having problems with Yahoo! email lately? Mine stopped syncing 4 days ago. Looks like it is server side issue. Clearing data, etc, only syncs it up till 21st. No newer mails is available.

I have two accounts, and both work at this moment. (as always)

I got a email that there was suspicious activity from my yahoo account and it was locked
" At Yahoo!, your*account safety is our top priority.
*
Recently, we have detected some unusual activity on your account and as a result, we've temporarily locked it for your protection. You may unlock your account immediately by logging in on a PC. "
Sent from my HTCONE using xda app-developers app

Thanks, this is something else. Apparently another folder syncs fine. The main inbox does not. Access via mobile yahoo website works too.
Does anybody have more than 1500 mails in the inbox and is it still working?

Figured it out myself. This was happening due to the number of emails or the total size. After a cleanup it started working again. Still wacky.
I'd expect at least some warning.

yea what gives?

Been having issues with Yahoo app for a couple months. Always seems to be server or sync type issues. I send probably 5 feedbacks a week.

[Q] Email Sync Issues

I'm having an issue with email sync. In the email app, one of my email accounts will sync for a few days then just stop syncing. I don't notice it until it dawns on me that I haven't gotten new email in a while. It won't let me manually sync either. At the top, the last sync date will remain static showing a few days ago. I've deleted the account and then set it up again twice and that works for a few days, then it fails again. This is an old verizon.net account that I've never had issues with on any other device. Any thoughts?

Mine was acting up this morning, I just rebooted, and I was able to sync again.
Not sure if that will help, or if you have tried that, but that has helped me.

Oh yeah, well past that. I've rebooted, unchecked and rechecked the sync box, messed with the sync settings... the only thing that seems to work is deleting the account and adding it back..

Mine does the same thing. I have yet to figure out a permanent solution.

With which email provider are you having trouble? Is it Verizon as well? (hoping that we can at least narrow down the problem...)
Thanks!
Also - Is everyone still using the stock email app, or are you having issues with another app too? I'm stock and am getting ready to try something different.

I run 4 separate email accounts (POP, IMAP, and Exchange, but not Verizon) and don't have any problems. The only thing I can think of that hasn't already been suggested is to clear the cache and/or data for the email app in the application manager. If this is an Exchange account clear the data/cache for the Exchange services app also.

I had an issue with the stock e-mail app not syncing properly with gmail. New e-mails would come in, but old ones that were read would not be marked as read. As such it had over 50 unread e-mails even though the gmail app or gmail website had 2 or 3.
I switched to K-9 Mail which works much better.

This dude is just trying to get his post count up. Besides adding nothing to the conversation, he is becoming quite annoying repeating what others say in other threads.

I think I'm going to have to end up running another email app as well.
That leads me to another quandary. K-9 won't do hotmail. Mailbox and Cloud Magic won't do anything but gmail and iCloud. I need to find something that can handle a hotmail (IMAP I think) account, a verizon POP3 account, and a Gmail account. Any thoughts?

Galaxy S5 Email Syncing

I'm having an issue with email sync. In the email app, one of my email accounts will sync for a few days then just stop syncing. I don't notice it until it dawns on me that I haven't gotten new email in a while. It won't let me manually sync either. At the top, the last sync date will remain static showing a few days ago. I've deleted the account and then set it up again twice and that works for a few days, then it fails again. This is an old verizon.net account that I've never had issues with on any other device. Any thoughts?

Where I work, we have 5 Galaxy S5's and we have all experienced this issue. One of my users has it happen every Tuesday. This is only with the stock email app. Other apps seem fine, but that's ridiculous....it shouldn't be doing this.
