Hi all,
I've setup the Outlook Email to sync with my exchange server at work... however, it has syned my calendar and not emails (i only wanted it to do emails). For some reason, it's saying the details are not correct (yet it's capable of syncing calendar). Anyway, I've told it not to sync anything (so I won't receive them anymore) but how do I remove the account from my phone?
Thanks,
Amnesia
ActivSync
Strangely it's done from within ActiveSync and not the messaging app.
I found out after trying to setup direct push yesterday.
If you click the bottom right softkey in active sync and choose options or somthing(i forget exact item) you can change/remove accounts from there, and even change what items it syncs (calendar/contact/mail/etc) by just ticking and unticking them.
cheers mate! I'll give that a try.

Hi, I've an IMAP email account setup on my phone (nothing to do with Outlook). I've unticked the box to auto check for new messages every n minutes, but whenever I activesync it gets the new messages. I can't for the life of me find out why it's doing this, any one have any ideas?
Activesync
When you first connected the device, there was an option what to synch, and by default email is one of the things. You can fix it by synching, then choosing Tools/Options from the PC menu and unchecking Email. (It doesn't synch notes by default, which you can also fix here.)

Thanks for the reply. That only applies to Outlook email though doesn't it? I'm talking direct to the IMAP server here, it just seems to do an automatic send/receive when doing an activesync.

When I had that box checked, it synched whatever mail was up -- for me it synched Pop mail. I don't know if that means it would also synch exchange.
Thanks for the help, maybe that's it then. I unchecked the box, but it came up with a warning that all email on the PPC would be removed - not particularly desirable! In any event I quite like the feature, just would like to know how it happened as I'd never seen it do it before.
When I configure my outlook account to sync with my server(Exchange 2007) it does not show up on the Mail Tab, I see only No Accounts there. When I add Hotmail, GMail and Other POP3/IMAP accounts they all show up, bu the Outlook does not.
If I set the Outlook account to sync with a PC instead of the server it works with no problems, but syncing with PC is not an option for me. I ahve to sync it directly with my Push enabled Exchange account in order to receive my mail instantly when mobile without a PC.
Anyone have this problem? Any clues or workarounds?
PS: It does seem to be a problem with Manila Interface,and not with the ROM I have. I have tried with several ROM's but no chance, but it is working in the old HTC Home without any problems.

I have the same problem with Manila 2D MODIFIED ROM DXIA2 (FRANLOV). I tried to modify the REG FILE without succes.
i've the same problem
Ditto same problem for me.
I've moved on to the Onyx WM6.5 21222 build. Mail works but i really prefer the manilla interface.
Any work arounds yet?
No Accounts Issue
I've got the same tab "No Accounts" issue
Sounds like a registry issue from here, it might take some comparing entries between roms.?
Interesting as I dig...
So the tab shows "18" or however many current "new" emails I have.
But when I press on the tab it comes back with "No Accounts".
When I run Autosync and the emails come in, if I hit "view" it goes straight to the Inbox and works great.
If I go to Programs - Messaging, it goes straight to the Inbox and works great.
I just can't get Outlook to get recognized in the tab.
I poked around in the registry but didn't figure out any apparent tweaks.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I've used dsixda Onyx's ROMS for a while and the latest 6.5's don't let me use a browser, and the 6.1's don't let me use this Manila 2d email tab.
No outlook mails displayed in the envelop
Same here, outlook mails does get synced over-the-air, but not displayed on the Mails tab. Any help??
- SKBG
And again - think this will be more common now GMail have enabled push via exchange...
Any news to this? I can't reproduce why the outlook account is missing now but I know it was shown before. I don't want to hard reset because of this sh*t.
Hi
I'm struggling to figure out the email set up on the HD2 and hope someone might be able to shed some light.
I have set up 2 email accounts "1 at mydomain dotcom"and "2 at mydomain dotcom" and they seem to be working fine. I used Start > Email > Setup E-mail and filled out all the boxes with the same settings as I use in Outlook on my PC (incoming / outgoing mail server etc)
When I send and receive mail it gets stored in a separate folder for each account.
But ...
There is also the "default" Outlook account which seems to be the one that syncs with outlook on my desktop. I cannot seem to set anything up in this account for sending and receiving email. It only seems to have two screens - one for sync options and one for Advanced E-mail Options. The latter has a box for "my email address" but no settings anywhere.
Am I missing the point somewhere ?
What I would like to do is set it up so that my PC and my HD2 are pretty much the same. I'd like to sync the two and have the HD2 able to send and receive mail from the either account and, store these in the Outlook folders
Any help or advice would be great

You need to change it using Windows Mobile Device Center as it's set there to sync emails. I made the same mistake recently...
Wow - fast reply ! Thanks
OK so you're saying I can set up all my HD2 mail accounts within MDC ? I didn't notice that so will take a look
Thanks
Still struggling
OK, thanks, I found Mobile Device Settings in MDC
Change content sync settings
Sync wirelessly with Exchange Server
Manage a Partnership
Connection settings
Get device certificates
End a partnership
But none of these seem to lead me to a place where I can set up Outlook mail on the phone (othere than sync settings)
I don't have Exchange Server - just Outlook on my PC
I'm trying to set up my mail accounts in Outlook on the HD2 so that whether I send and receive mail from my phone or my PC both accounts are available inside the Outlook account rather than in separate accounts
Hope that makes sense ?
Thanks
Stephen
When I first setup my phone using WMDC it asked what I want to sync with my phone (contacts, notes, email, calendar, etc.). If you select emails it'll sync your Outlook emails to your phone but not the settings. If you want to get rid of the Outlook on your phone you have to change what you sync with it.
Just in case there is some confusion caused by wording of the question:
If you use WMDC, you can ONLY sync with the Outlook email on the PC BUT you can only update email when you connect to WMDC.
If you want to receive and send emails when mobile, you set up email accounts within the HD2 email programme. Hit the email tab, menu, add account.
Then set up like you would an account in outlook
Seems it may not do what I want
Thanks for your help guys - appreciated.
It sounds like this HD2 won't do what I need then.
Sync between my "local pc outlook" and the "phone outlook" is no good on its own.
If I have email accounts set up on the phone which are not part of the sync I won't have a record of my mails on my pc
I tried sending and receiving within "phone outlook account" and that only works when connected to the pc which does seem strange
If there's anything else I can try or if anyone has a workaround to handle all my mail from both accounts and sync them between the pc and phone I'd love to hear
Thanks

Hi all,
Got a question/problem. I have my HD set up to receive email thru an exchange server but only to get the email. I still want to sync my contacts, calendar, etc. with the info in my desktop outlook. In the activesync window it shows microsoft exchange with email, and windows PC with contacts, calendar, notes and files but it doesn't seem to sync the info with the PC and only the exchange server. Any ideas what I may be doing wrong?
Thanks,

If you run Activesync, then select MENU, then OPTIONS, you should find a page where it details which type of information is sync'd, and with what device. You can then UNtick the items you don't want to sync with your Exchange Server, and tick which items you DO want to sync with your PC!
I'm not by any means an expert on Exchange Server, or ActiveSync, but I have something similar setup on my HTC Trinity.
That's the problem. I have only email checked in the exchange section and have the calendar and contacts and notes checked in the PC section but it seems to ignore the PC section selections and syncs all the exchange stuff even though it's unchecked.
Thanks,
Ho'okani
The other problem is that when I set up the exchange sever and hooked it up to my computer, it deleted all the contacts, calendar and notes in my device. So now I'm trying to figure out how to get all that info back on my device and still use exchange to get my email.

Hmmm! A tricky one! Just to test this, I setup my HD to sync email only with my companies Exchange server, and it synced quite happily, and didnt delete any other data (contacts etc.), which are still set to sync with my Laptop. I then tried a sync with Laptop and it synced those items (contacts and calender) and gave me no problems at all. (The only thing it DID do was enforce my companies security policy on the HD - which is an enforced PIN entry every hour of non-use. This is easily overriden by a Registry Hack anyway).
So to answer your question, I am afraid I do not now why you are sufferring this problem, as I cannot get it to occur on my HD - perhaps there are differences in the ROM you might be using - my Radio and ROM version details are contained in my signature (below) -- are yours the same?!
it is weird. I've gone so far as to delete the exchange server, delete the device and try to set up the partnership again and I still can't get my contacts and calendar back into the device. The exchange calendar items still remain on my device and no contacts.
Thanks,

I am right to assume you also have exchange mail set up on your laptop too? I have an exchange account set up on my laptop to get mail from the exchange server also.
I got my contacts and calendar back on my device, but I had to delete the exchange account on my laptop.

I have managed to set up an Exchange account on my phone to sync my work calendar only.
I have got it working but the problem is that I want it "read only" on the phone so that any items I delete on the phone are not deleted on the server.
I have set it to "keep items on the phone" and also "replace items on phone"
The first time I deleted an item on the phone exchange calendar I found it was also deleted on the server/work calendar (I think it was set to "replace on phone")
But since then no matter what I set it to if I delete something on the phone it seems to sync with the server and then come straight back onto the phone so I can't get rid of it...
In WinMo I could explicitly set how to do the sync but can't seem to do that here - any help please?
Okay maybe a coincidence but just noticed something else.
Anything on the work calendar that had been added (at work) via Outlook - if I delete it from the phone it is also deleted off the calendar.
Anything I add to the work calendar using OWA does this yoyo thing with coming back everytime I try to delete it from the phone....
If your using the exchange it is only being stored/read from the one place.
It doesn't store locally.
I don't know how you can delete from the phone and not the server...
I used to save my outlook calendar as an .ics file and then import it to my google calendar. Now I just use touchdown.
That said... I want my calendar to be exactly the same on my phone as it is on our exchange.
There are some recurring meetings which are useful to keep track of at work but clutter the phone calendar.
I guess I could export but then I would have to keep doing it when new meeting are added.
The different behavior regarding appointment created with outlook and owa is odd but interesting.
