Hello-
I have been banging my skull all day trying to figure this one out. I am trying to set up my gmail account using the stock email app using exchange. I am trying to have a combined inbox from all three sources of my emails vs having different apps for each email provider and I want instant emails (hence using exchange). I have set up my msn and live accounts with no hitches using exchange but I keep getting the error "you do not have permission to sync with this server".
Questions: first off, is what I'm trying to do even possible or do I need to use IMAP? Will IMAP get me "instant" emails since the settings only show frequencies to receive emails (i.e. every 5/10/15 mins etc.)?
Please help, I'm losing sleep....

"Still getting same error...you do not have permission to sync with this server". Thanks for the info though, any other ideas?
Are you trying to setup a gmail account to sync using activesync? If so, you won't be able to as google stopped supporting that last year:

The biggest problem I met when using Captivate is the time for email sync. I have two accounts, one Gmail and one hotmail. Normally it would took 1-2 minute to sync the Gmail account, but for the hotmail account it always costs more than 5 minutes and sometimes after 5 minute waiting it showed "connection error" sign and I have to refresh again. I tried both home wifi and 3G network, and the waiting time is similar. I don;t know how your Captivate perform in sync emails. Is my waiting time common or I need to change some setting to improve the performance? Thanks!
Is your Hotmail setup as an Exchange account or a POP account on your phone? As of 8-30, you can now use exchange for Hotmail accounts and it will push emails to your phone. The only drawback is that it doesn't support HTML emails yet, just text. Search 'Hotmail Active Exchange' for the settings.

I am using cammster.com as one of my security applications at home. it sends me an email when it detects motion. However, I cannnot seem to find a friendly app that will send am email immediately to my Sprint Hero.
What free email program and app can I use that will send me an email when cammster sends it out, and notify me right away.
I have tried a google account (gmail), but it seems to want to check for emails at predefined intervals when using the main email client (that I also use for a work (exchange) email address).
I tried a yahoo (ymail) app and email addy, but it would conflict with my work email and stop the program from receiving the work or the ymail mail.
I quickly tried K9 app, but couldn't figure out how to use it with the yahoo mail to notify me immediately of the new email
Any suggestions?!?!?
The gmail client does push notifications. You should use the gmail client not the mail client for a google account (gmail).

Are you on a Rom? Or are you on the stock sense rom? I am curious because sense is a bit more friendly with accounts and sync.. in the settings menu, there is actually a section called "Accounts & Sync". In there, you can enable background data and auto-sync. It will probably not be instantaneous, but honestly, your battery would die immediately if your phone was constantly checking your email. I suggest WildHeroc as it is currently the bomb digity. Have a good night.
New Bionic owner here. Loving the phone! Coming from many other droids.... most recent the Atrix 4G w/AT&T. Never had the following problem before:
I use Exchange. I have no need for my email to be pushed to me, or for any kind of automatic fetching. So, just as with many other devices before, I've turned off push and I've set fetch to manual. YET, my email continues to be pushed to me automatically as if push was turned on. Can't seem to figure out what I might be missing.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!
Under email settings> email delivery> data push make sure the correct account does not have a check next to it. If that isn't it I would delete the account and start again. Is the account exchange, pop3, etc.?

The problem definitely seems to be with the folder sync options under email delivery. The inbox does not give an option for "manual"... only "background". Im thinking of deleting the account and installing fresh.
When you set up the account did you use corporate sync or email?

Im not sure.... is there a difference?
Can you tell me if there is a difference between setting up my Exchange email through the corporate sync method versus through the email app settings? I want to wipe the account off of my phone & start from scratch, so I need to know if there is a difference between the two methods. Thanks!
I use exchange for sky emails which pushes through Google it worked fine on my note 2 but I can't get it to work on the HTC one
Any ideas I use m.Google.com as the server
Thanks

I don't use google but exchange mail works fine.
failed for me too when I initially tried to set up my gmail via exchange. Used m.google.com but kept failing on the last set, "Failed to create account" or something.
Read up that google have taken away support for google activesync exchange and pushing for people to use imap. I gave up in the end and used the native gmail app.
Hello everyone,
I just got this phone yesterday and I tried to add my school email through the email app but it keeps saying authentication failed.
I added 3 of my other email accounts to this email app and they all went through. Only my school email address is having this problem. Can someone please help me out?
i'm not too knowledgeable on this, but i did have to set up my uncle's email addresses on an Android phone. i was having problems until i contacted his web host and found out the correct incoming and outgoing server ports..... then when i went thru the manual setup in the email app, it worked out.
I tried to search on my school website for the instruction on how to setup their email on another email client and it has all the incoming and outgoing info but when I tried to do it manually on the phone it still doesn't work. However, there is a note in the instruction that says that I have to use gmail app on the android device. I also use the gmail app to set up this email account and it works but it doesn't work with the regular email account. The thing is i want all my email accounts to be in one place and not having to use different apps for each account. If anyone have similar problems and find a way to solve this please help me out thanks.
hopefully someone can help you more. i don't know if this applies to you but my uncle's web host told me that some internet providers block the default outgoing port 25, so he suggested i use 8889, and that worked. good luck getting it working..
Sounds more like a "we want to force Android users to use the Gmail app" situation than a problem. Do you go to BOFH U? (Google bofh if you're not familiar with the breed.)
Before I switched to this phone I was using an Iphone 5 and it didn't have a problem with adding this email account.
I wonder what causes the regular email app on this phone to keep having the authentication failed message.
You won't be able to use it with the stock "email" app because of the way your schools exchange server works. You will have to get another email client that supports all of your email addresses. Try K-9 mail it's open source and works really well.
