Hi all,
I suspect that there are all manner of threads on this very topic given the difficulties that each company (Google and Microsoft) seem to have imposed with regards to syncing between the two, however, I find I get a more directed response if you ask in the specific phone type, so here it goes:
I have a hotmail account. I have had for years and it's my main email account and that which I use for work. Outlook has also a feature that picks up potential scheduled events from your emails and drops them into your calendar for you which I find useful. I also have a gmail account because, well you know, I love Android phones. However, having purchased a Oneplus 3t and coming over from an Xperia Z5 I am having some unexpected difficulty in syncing all my events and calendar schedules into one calendar view. I am using the Google calendar widget and would like a way of syncing my outlook events into this calendar. Is there any way of doing this?
I used aCalendar+ with the Z5 BUT there was the option to add Exchange accounts via the stock email app on that phone which I assume was the catalyst for allowing me to sync everything together in aCalendar+. This isn't an option on the OP3t.
Therefore is there a work around or an app that can do it for me? I am happy to use a decent third party calendar app providing it allows for a decent widget view option but would prefer to use google calendar view instead if possible.
PLEASE HELP. I thought this would be such an easy thing to achieve.
Had the same problem. Tried a few apps and by far the best one was Nine.

Go and get yourself a biscuit and a medal. Thank you so much. Pissing me off that was.
Doesn't Google Calendar allow you to achieve this?

I agree that Nine is by far the best all-in-one email, calendar and contacts app, but it doe not support free Gmail accounts, only paid Google apps for Business accounts.

But what it does do is allow you to add a 'proper' Exchange account to your device which means the Google calendar app can be kept up to date. I then use the Gmail app for my three email accounts thus getting exactly what I need from the app itself. It's almost an app simply for syncing accounts more than anything else.
I have no issues with exchange showing up in Google calendar. Perhaps the truck is to add your exchange account in your Gmail app. You could still use another mail app to use exchange if you prefer (turn off all Gmail notifications for your exchange). I have gotten accustomed to using Gmail app for all my email accounts. I am on office 365. I know some older exchange servers don't get along with Google, my wife is on a 2003 exchange (for some reason beyond me). Nine is the only email app that works for her. Gmail will start out working but eventually stops syncing.

Hi guys. I have an NTG and use aCalendar but I'm not fully satisfied. For example I can't create new events.
Just curious what everyone around here recommends. It would need to sync to gmail calendar.
Thanks!

I installed Calendar Pad of MoaiApps (sorry, XDA doesn't let me post a direct link). Haven't used it much, but so far it seems to work fine
I use touch calendar and it fully syncs with Google calendar.

Thank you! Calendar Pad seems to be sufficient for my needs

It's a shame Calendar Pad doesn't show the location in the week view, aCalendar is much more attractive, if only it allowed adding entries!

I've just noticed, you can use the great looking aCalendar to add appointments.
Just go to it's settings and near the bottom you have settings for New Event. Tick the box for 'External editor' then when you add an appointment tick to always use the default Android calendar app. Then it seems to work perfectly.
The problem I have is that I can't set a secondary gmail account to auto sync the calendar, just the primary one. Anybody else managed to get a second account syncing?
This old version of Android doesn't allow calendar syncing with more than one gmail account.
The solution is simple though - simply add the second calendar to your primary gmail account's calendar, then it will be selectable and synced on the Nook.
I had the same problem. I needed more simplistic approach to the whole calendar. I was surprised to see that ColorNote has a calendar too. It perfect for simple note taking and events it has some synchronization features as well.
GMAIL can now handle send and receive for both your YAHOO and OUTLOOK accounts. Why does this matter?
Well because Android Wear REALLY REALLY likes Gmail and REALLY REALLY hates Yahoo and Outlook. The benefits of using Gmail:
1) You will receive individual notifications for every email received.
2) You can USE voice to respond to each email from the watch.
I highly recommend making the switch and having Gmail handle everything. If you still want to maintain other email clients on your phone simply block them from notifications in your Android Wear app. This is now a much cleaner email solution.
Oh yes.. My wife uses hotmail and her Outlook app screws up most of the time, unable to download mails. I uninstalled it and added her account in the new Gmail. Very neat indeed.

Cool. Yes, super handy for syncing with Android Wear watches.
When emails come to the stock s5 email inbox I can only see partial amounts of the email on the notification card. Also, if more than one email comes I cannot expand any of the cards on the watch I just see who sent an email. There is no way to reply either..I can only open on the phone which makes the watch pointless.
I there a way to see the full text of the email like the Gear 2 running Tizen??
I can only use the S5 stock email because I have work email through airwatch exchange.
Not with the stock email app. Not that I've found anyway

The best solution here is to use Gmail for everything.
1) It now handles Yahoo and Outlook/Hotmail accounts.
2) It is an excellent powerful email client.
3) Android Wear LOVES Gmail. You can view entire mails and respond to them via voice.

Android Wear is about to get a major upgrade which should help with some of these things, but remember, an apps integration with Android Wear is what determines its functionality, not the watch.
Hi all
Appreciate if you share what email apps you are using for exchange active sync.

Hi...
I am using cloudmagic for few months... Tried many but fully satisfied with Cloudmagic...... Create an account in cloudmagic... then configure all your accounts...... If you flash roms and once you install cloudmagic afresh, just log in with cloudmagic account and you will have all your pre configured emails ready including exchange accounts.....

Nine - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ninefolders.hd3.

Has trial period afaik.
I use Nine is a very good App!

Another vote for Nine. It's genuinely one of the best email clients I've ever used. Far better than any other Exchange integration.
Nine.
nine is the best excange email app.

Nine best imho...
Nine! Definitely worth the money!
Nine. It's awesome.
Outlook Beta/Mailwise
I have been using outlook beta from play store. Love it because it skips encryption or forced pin usage from the exchange server. Also MailWise is excellent. Also has option to skip encryption or forced PIN if you enable it. No root necessary.
Outlook Download: taps.io/outlookmobile
Mailwise Download: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.syntomo.email
Another vote for Nine! Switched a number of users at work over to that app. With the new Outlook beta...if only it had mark as read from the dropdown notification menu like Nine, I'd probably switch to that. (it's a really nice app!)
Blue mail is pretty good..

I feel Nine is the best apps so far. Only thinking whether I should buy it or not.
Just to use the mail App I moved to MIUI, which is having good mail app.
I do not understand why Google is not making a good app with their build. Google mail app/stock does not show pictures in mail rather it show it as attachment.
I mean if anyone sending picture pasted in mail text space, then it comes as attachment.
My previous phone was Samsung and really like the mail application. I used Huawei phone same experience, mail application is good. Only for Oneplus one where I have to use CM or CM flavour ROM which does not have a good mail application. I have even tried in recent lollipop builds, all mail apps having same issue. Picture comes as attachment.
On trying to configure the built-in email client, the gmail setup errors with "unable to establish connection with server".
I have made contact with Huawei on the matter, and the response was that I had to install Gmail official app. That made me wonder what Huawei is doing with their email app. They have issued the app with a separate setup for gmail account connection, but it does not seem to work. And they recommend using a different app.
Do they not care to maintain their own app? And if so, this being their general attitude to problem solving is disappointing. And leaves an impression of a half-hearted effort in development.
Anybody having found a way to work around the issue?
I find using anything other than the Gmail app to manage my gmail a pain in the ass - not sure why you would want to use Huawei's app for Gmail. The Gmail app is way faster and better to navigate. In saying that, I do have 3 gmail addresses (2 google apps and the other Gmail) so I don't ever need a 3rd party email client.

I agree to using Gmail app, and its benefits. It just struck me that they have this issue and don't address it at all. They could at least have removed the option, as long as it is not working.

Hi guys, I just started using Huawei P10 a few days for work. I setup the email using huawei native client and I like it. But since last night, I notice I didn't received any email. I tried to send email to myself but the email didn't go through. I'm curious and check my email using my laptop. Then I saw few email came in.
Then I'm wondering what's happening here? I press sync few time but came out "Couldn't open connection to server".
I tried removing the email and perform setup again... didn't work either.
Has anyone got the solution why this happens?
I'm not saying the gmail apps is not good, but I prefer in that way. Almost like using outlook.
I have a few gmail/msn address, and they all worked well with native Huawei mail client. no problem.
I am using a BlackBerry z30 now, and I loved the blackberry Hub, is that something similar in android? and free is better, or one time purchase is ok,
