I have tried to setup a Hotmail account email on my phone, and I am getting The POP3/SMTP service is disabled. Is this an error with the phone?
If I select other account, it only gives me the option to setup email address and password. There is no manual setup buttons

You probably need the MS Exchange Service/App before setting up MS Services.

Having a few problems with email. I can't find any way of managing email accounts in WM6. I am currently trying to sync with my companies exchange server. I have all the details I need but when I try to add an email address via Start > Messages > Messaing > New Email account" I get stuck.
It asks me for my email address. I uncheck the 'find settings on the internet' box thing. It then asks for my name and pop3/imap4 server address. I assume this is trying to setup the wrong type of email as I was expecting to be able to select 'Exchange Server' but I am not getting the option to do so.
Am i doing something retarded?
Thanks
Jon
To connect to exchange server directly you go to active sync on your device and "Configure Server"
Don't know what your doing but for me it works fine.
Exchange for skool mail.
Pop3 for Mobile private website mail.
Outlook sync for Private website mail.
It gave me the option the first time I did it but not anymore. Is it only possible to sync with one exchange server and that I have to delete the first attempt before trying to add another?
Also, is there a way of managing the email accounts in WM6 as I want to delete a couple of test accounts I have been playing with and cant seem to find out how to get rid of them.
Thanks
Jon
Open an email or SMS account.
Tap Menu, Tools, Options.
That takes you to a screen where you can add or delete accounts as well as change connection settings for them.

You can only sync with one exchange server.
Think I have most things sorted now. The only issue I cannot resolve is I am not being alerted when a mail arrives in my live messenger account. I get the alert when it lands in the inbox but am not being alerted if one of my message rules sends it to one of my custom folders.
Ok, I have the GMAIL app configured to send/receive Google mail and well as mail from my ISP account. Is there a way I can configure the app on the myTouch so it is easier to tell each provider appart?
thanks

Just go into your GMail account and create labels and filters and you will be able to tell as they come in.
Yup just create a filter and a corresponding label.
That's how I do it.
will check it out...thanks guys

Are you saying that the Gmail app can be used to access a second email account, in addition to the main Gmail account for syncing? If so, how? Thanks.

You have to forward your second email account to your gmail account.

No, a better solution is to go into your GMail settings and have it fetch your emails from the secondary acct via POP3.

I don't think google apps supports exchange? I could be wrong. You'd probably want to just add this as a google account, where in 2.2 multiple google accounts are possible. I think you're doing it wrong.
but u can use the m.google.com for google sync
i even had a setting to enable it on my domain options
and i also used that m.google.com server and recieved emails right away using a normal gmail account to test it out and worked but cant seem to get it to work with google apps domain cuz i dont know what domain/ username i am supposed to put in

You're still doing it wrong....
Exchange is for MS Exchange servers.
What you should do go into accounts and sync, add another google account, type in [email protected] and your password. Should work
how was ot able to work with my regualr gmail account?
aad4321 said:
I would just use the multiple google apps accounts that 2.1 and 2.2 allow. Worst case it may work as exchange. Google apps also does work with exchange but limited. This is a fact because Windows mobile devices are configured with google apps using active sync.

Correct me if I'm wrong...
Windows Mobile phones use POP/IMAP to sync with any other type of email address other than an Exchange account, because when using an Exchange account you'll need to use the Active Sync protocol.
Google Apps and Exchange are services, not clients or protocols. I don't see how you would be able to use Google Apps with Exchange unless you're doing a migration or have GPO's set on the network to set up Google Apps accounts in Outlook.

Probably through either IMAP or its own proprietary communication protocol. Gmail doesn't support ActiveSync
Gmail does in fact support Exchange ActiveSync protocol, and that is exactly how Windows Mobile devices sync most effectively with Gmail, regular or apps version. They made an announcement last year when the ActiveSync Protocol was enabled.
The config settings should be m.google.com for server, and full email address for username. I haven't tried it, because of the following reason:
The most effective way to get at your gmail from an Android phone is with the Gmail app. It does push just like ActiveSync, and supports more of the features of Gmail, like stars, threaded conversations, labels, etc.
Just tried it with my google apps account, works fine in the email app.
On the first screen, enter your email address and password, then hit manual setup
On the second screen, select Exchange Activesync
On the third screen, enter your email address in the username box (remove the leading "\" as well). Leave the password as entered, and replace the server with m.google.com. Select both checkboxes, click Next
Fourth screen, select your sync options (use Automatic(push)) and other settings as you like
Finally, give the account a name, and enter your display name on outgoing messages, and click Done.
Works great.

Just wanted to put in my pennies. I set up Google Apps accounts as part of my business, and Activesync is the ONLY way you should sync your email on Windows Mobile. It also works for standard Gmail accounts, and it will sync your Contacts and Calendar too. Just don't select Tasks in the sync options or the sync will fail.
Windows Mobile isn't just an Enterprise Solution anymore, thanks to Google.
I tried changing the server of my Microsoft account on my phone to www.outlook.com. I thought that would work, but now I can't sign into my Microsoft account on my phone. Says password is incorrect when I'm using the same account on my desktop as I type this!
Server Adress is m.outlook.com, but I've the same problem and no solution.
I think, it would work to hardreset the device and start with new outlook settings for our MS Account............
I don't hardreset my device, just to figure it out.........
But why changing ??? For better push performance, it's enough to change your live/hotmail account to outlook online with a browser, just login with your live/hotmail id at outlook.com
The live/hotmail id works fine after that, so not necessary to change server..........

If you change your actual mail-address from something else to [email protected] the Microsoft Account on the device will be wrong even though it's the same account with different credentials and the server is the same. When you change your Microsoft-Accounts E-Mail address you will have to change it to that address on the phone and this is only possible by doing a hard reset.

Do you mean your Outlook.com alias for another email account or is it a (relatively) new Outlook.com account?

I think Dadstar didn't change the email address, you can keep it and you have to use it to login at outlook.com anyway. After login you can create an alias email [email protected], but have to keep the old one (MS Account) for login and email traffic for that address. The email Address will not be transferred into [email protected] !!!
I didn't change my email and same problem, when using m.outlook.com as server address. With browser everthing works fine, using same login data, with WP8 it don't work.
Solution for that issue might be right: Hardreset the Phone !!!
If a new outlook.com account is created, it's not necessary to hardreset, just add account on phone in email settings !!!

The reason why I asked is because I wrote a tutorial on how to use your outlook.com alias on WP8 without the hard reset over on MobilityDigest. I know we were told that we couldn't do it, but I figured it out. Check the link.
Hey all,
I am aware that Google has extended the expiry date for EAS. So this means we should still see the option for Push email, or the "as item arrives" setting while setting up email.
I only use GMail, no calendar.
I dont see the option of "as item arrives" in my GMail accounts when I set them up. My GMail settings are setup like that because I have been using Push on iOS and then Android for last 3 years.
How can I get the "as item arrives" setting to show up in GMail ? It does show in my hotmail account settings.
Device: Lumia 820 on Telstra (Australia)
I would suggest creating the Account as an "Outlook" Account on the phone and entering the server address manually, see: http://email.about.com/od/accessinggmail/f/Gmail_Exchange_ActiveSync_Settings.htm
You can then deactivate syncing of Contact and Calendar. I guess in your current Setup you are using IMAP to connect to GMail and WP does not support IMAP Push/Idle.

Yeah, this is correct. IMAP is the preferred choice isn't it ? Web GMail shows either POP or IMAP.

OK, didn't know that. So what protocol do Hotmail use then for Push/idle ? Because my hotmail account is always up to date.........
Hotmail uses the Exchange ActiveSync Protocol. This is currently still supported for new Connections by GMail as well but will no longer allow new devices to be connected from July onward. If you select "Outlook" as account type for a new Account it will use EAS.
IMAP is what Google is currently pushing Non-Android users to use.
If you set up an account as "Gmail" on Windows Phone, it will give you the option for e-mail only or e-mail, contacts, and calendar. Even if you're not going to use the contacts and calendar sync, you must choose that option to get Exchange ActiveSync (while Google still allows you to set it up). If you choose e-mail only, it will only offer IMAP/POP.
