How do you guys have your emails setup?

Hi all,
I just got my MDA yesterday and have been messing around with it ever since.
Anyways, I just have a quick question for those who have more than 1 email account setup through their phones. See I have 2-3 emails I use, plus one for school. I have them setup as messages (on the mda) and my school account through outlook (I couldn't set it up through the mda to work, because of security features). The way I have it setup works, but I am looking for a better way to put all of them into one area, but at the same time all the messages from each account distinguished nicely. If there is such a way please share the knowledge.
Thanx

I use the T-Mobile mail trigger service.....this is in the US though....

Yea I'm in the US too. What exactly is T-moblie email trigger?
thanx

It is a small app origianlly from the 6315 phone on TMO. I would guess it is on the MDA, too. It sends an invisible text that triggers the phone to login and download email. It makes it look like a slow push email system I don't think it will let me post because of the size. Google it, I'm sure you will find a download for it.
Your email is then setup on the TMO myemail site and those are the settings you use in the messaging app. I think there is a limit of 4 or 5 on the PDA, I only use two so I don't know.
Don't know a way around the security on your school email. Perhaps post the Outlook settings and someone here could post how to set it up on the mobile.
The built-in is far from perfect, but it will work for you.

Is it the MyEmail already installed on the phone? Because everytime I try to set it up it says I need T-Zone, do you guys have T-Zone?

New (2nd Hand) Touch Dual....rom?

Hi - I have just purchased an MDA Touch Plus (HTC Touch Dual) second hand and it hasn't got the T-Mobile (UK) rom on it but something from "Black Mary". Now, I understand that this seems to be an update to WM6.1 and de-branded and all, but one of the reasons I got the WM device was for syncing to my Hotmail email - I have seen that Hotmail email can be received in the standard Inbox application.
Well - this device doesn't appear to have MSN Messenger or any way to access Hotmail from anything other than the web browser....is this something that has been removed from the rom version I have and if so, how do I go back to an original ROM? I have tried at HTC but when I put in the serial number of the device it says that the ROM they have is not suitable (presumably because I am using a T-Mobile and not generic device).
Any help would be great - been out of the WM land for over a year and feel a bit out of date!

I think you could find the original ROM in this thread.

You also can just install the Windows Live software into your Niki again.

Thanks - can't find the T-Mobile UK ROM anywhere in that thread - seems that there are loads of people wanting that one!
So much for Windows Live. Installed...sync'd....downloaded email once. Now sync fails every time. Seems to happen to a LOT of people on a lot of devices. Bit too much to ask MS to get their OS talking to their email servers. Oh well.

I don't know if hotmail supports it, but I use gmail with IMAP4, and it works like a charm, maybe that'll help?

or forward you hm to web2mail and have it "pushed" to your phone

How Does The Navigator Work In Norway

any norwegians who have unlocked the phone, can you tell me what is not good with the phone, except from the MMS not working yet. Anyone found a solution to the problem. I have a Chess service myself. I also wonder how I can get all my contacts from Outlook/my htc touch cruise to the G1 phone. Anyone solved this. What about connection the thing to my hotmail account. On my HTC touch cruise this is very simple.
Is the phone worth the money??? Looking forward to hear from you.
Best regards
Morten

Howdy
Cons:
Battery life
No decent IM app yet
Screen gets greasy fast
MMS is working if your provider supports having all the information in one single APN settings file. I am not sure if Chess supports this or not.
If you haven't already, get a decent data plan. That is one of the things I am struggeling to find in Norway, espescially on Telenor. You could get Mobilt Bredbånd, but to a price of 499,- NOK for unlimited, it isn't so tempting anymore. The only option I see is the iPhone bundle that Netcom have, but I want to use Telenor, so I am ****ed.
The easiest way I found to do this, is to download a program called KiGoo. This enables you to have a folder in Outlook that is basically your Google Contacts or your Google Calendar. I just synced all my Contacts from my Nokia E65 to Outlook, and then just copied them from the Outlook folder to the KiGoo folder. It worked pretty good, and almost all details got copied (Names, all phone number, e-mails and all important stuff is copied, and remains in the correct fields as well, unlike the Funambol Android Client, which puts commas in the Last Name field if there isn't anything there), and is the best solution I have tried so far. And believe me, I've tried LOTS of things.
It seems that .csv exporting from Outlook don't work, since Outlook uses Norwegian in to describe the values, which Gmail obviously don't understand.
I wouldn't have my hopes up for the Hotmail thing.
I haven't used hotmail since I was 12, but back then you had to have Hotmail Plus to be able to access your mail via POP3 or anything other than Webmail and the Live Client for windows. The only solution would have to be to forward all incoming mail to your Gmail account, and I don't know if hotmail supports that with out Plus.
You can access your Hotmail account through the browser, but it is only retarded, the Live page isn't optimized for mobile use, and it would just get annoying after a short while.
I would just change my email to gmail, which in my opinion is superior anyways
You can still use your Live ID on MSN so that is no big deal really.
Hope this sorted out some issues for you

HTC Hero (Android few questions)

Hi Guys,
Its my first step in Android world. I have been using Windows Mobile since last 5 years (Currently HTC tytn II). I am very impressed with HTC Hero promos and customization. But before I move to Android world and buy this phone, it would be very helpful if any of you can provide answers to my following queries. Apologies, as it may be very basic questions for you but these functionalities very necessary for me as I use almost every day in my Windows phone.
Question for Android (HTC Hero)-
1. Can I sync Outlook address and calendar Android (HTC Hero)?
2. Can I open/edit word, excel and power point presentations? (If yes then does it come by default with phone like I got it with my HTC tytnII)
3. I need navigation software. (I saw one is available here http://www.alk.eu.com/. is there any other for Android like i use TomTom in my phone).
4. Any email client where i can configure Pop3, Imap or company microsoft exchange server.
5. Voice chat messengers (like i use fring(www.fring.com) for my windows phone)
Thanks in advance.
Jit

Hello there
Welcome to Android world. I don't know so much about android till now. But if you search the forum you can get all your question answered. I'm trying to help you from my little knowledge.
1. You can sync your contacts and their information from outlook.
2. HTC Hero has Quickoffice. So, I think you should be able to open/edit word, excell or powerpoint docs.
3. You can use AndNav2 for your navigation. The software is free in the Market.
4. Yes, you can configure your e-mail clients.
5. I haven't got any voice messaging service till now for android.
Hope these helps. If you have any other questions first try to search the forum .
Thanks.

there are tons of free IM apps out there.
1) Meebo (the best one)
2) eBuddy
3) IM+ (not free)
4) HelloYm, HelloAim, HelloMSN
5) IM app (built in android)

pda_crazy, as you have a HTC Tytn II, have a look at this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=396782 and try Android for yourself. The latest build for Kaiser/Tytn II is from the Google Ion (HTC Magic) rather than the Hero, so the Sense UI is not present. Also, wi-fi, camera and bluetooth are not working, but GPS, Android Market and Google sync are. It may require some tweaking to get the best experience on the Tytn II as different versions of the phone seem to have particular issues with calls and/or data but I am running it on my UK Kaiser (MDA Vario III) at the moment and have calls, sms, sync, Android Market and GPS working fine. Battery life is a bit of an issue, but if you can get it working it will give you a chance to download and try out a variety of Android applications before paying for an Android phone.

not so simple
I have a hero. The quick office can only open word docs, have trouble with excel . It will not edit. You can sync outlook contacts and calendar . I could make a gmail account on it but not yahoo so far. Still looking for a good explorer software in which I can keep stuff where I want. Any suggestions ?

DocumentsToGo is pretty much the only app for editing doc and xls on android. If you want a file explorer both 'Astro' and 'Linda File Manager' are good.

Hi there!
As I'm currently a Windows mobile user about to take the step over to Hero I just want to make sure that I can use my Hero at work as well.
Today I sync my work contacts and work calendar with outlook using active sync.
When syncing I don't have to enter any information at all, the sync sets up automatically. Does HTC sync work in the same way!?
Do you have to set up the HTC sync by entering server names and stuff like that, or is it just like active sync that everything is automatical!?
All answers are apreciated!

I am so lazy, i ask here, so i did not start new thread.
Few days still and i get Dream again.
The ROM in it si some Hero thing. Isn´t that mean Dream is rooted and HardSpl in it? I can go and put Cyanogens ROM in it? If i understand it right, you can´t put any other ROM in unless you first put HSpl and root?
Sorry my bad english, hope someone catch what i mean...
Edit: Root and HardSpl ok, so now Cyan and works great...

SMS/MMS client on TMOUS [email protected]

Hello All,
I have a problem I am hoping has a solution. I can't find it though, so I will ask and see what comes out of it.
I would like to do either one of 2 things if it is possible...
1) Change back to the Pocket Outlook client for BOTH SMS and MMS. I found a cab that will allow Outlook to be the SMS client, but then MMS does not work. Not a real acceptable solution for me. Is there a way to get them both back?
2) There are 2 fairly important features missing from the current stock client. First and foremost is a switch to get sent messages from saving. I don't want sent messages at all. I already know what I sent, I don't need it saved for me even if I am not smart enough to know what I sent... If there is a way to stop this forced waste of space, please let me know. Another issue with the current client is that I cannot add folders to the list. Is there a way to add to the list of folders in the stock client? I would like more than in/out/sent/drafts/deleted. Is there a way to do this?
Either of these is a good solution. I kind of like the look/feel of the new client, but the missing functionality, or the lack of ability to turn off functionality, is a complete wash for me.
I am unwilling to flash a new rom to the device. I have done it and was happy, but I just prefer not to. Is there any other suggestions/fixes/tweaks that will help out with the above?
Thanks!
