I know there are apps like TouchDown, but they're fairly expensive ($20+). Is there any free alternative?
Work Email only does Web ActiveSync and not Exchange 2007 sync. HTC Sync only lets me sync Contacts. Meanwhile, Outlook <-> Google Sync <-> Phone is not viable because my company won't let me upload their data to Google.
Surely there is a way to do this?
Thanks!
Search for Roadsync on the Market. It's in Beta but it's working fine right now... Once it goes into the full release though all bets for free could be off.

Thanks, but RoadSync gives me a 403 error:
"Exchange server denied access. Contact administrator"
:S
Is it syncing calander or is it a second calendar app?
At this stage I wouldn't buy any apps for this from the market, Android 2.0 is a matter of weeks away and has native exchange support included.

Just asking but if anyone has the Mytouch 3G from T-Mobile how would we set up Exchange Email?
lololololololol
Alright so I figured some info out the box the current mytouch only has POP3 and IMAP emails at the moment hopefully we'll receive an OTA with a redesigned Email app that will support exchange. Maybe if we were to get the Email apk from those who have the Magic? If anyone has it I would be more than happy to put it on my phone to test it out.
a couple of apps to sync with MS exchange
there's currently a couple of applications that sync with MS exchange.
- Roadsync: Sync mail and contacts. Free app. It works ok, but is a free beta, and taking a look to their website, is easy to guess that in the future won't be free.
- Touchdown: Nice design. Syncs Calendar,contacts & mail but this one is not free. Just 5 days to try.
Both apps work with push mail.
Let's hope in future updates, Google changes his mind and include Exchange mail in the native mail app.
In my opinion, this is the weakest point of this device for a kind of enterprise user like i am.
For now, i think thats all we got

The thing is, with the myTouch, it specifically states on the box that it supports "work" email, assuming it will, on release, support Exchange.
Well it doesnt say it on the box, but online it does say it on the website. Im using touchdown but not wanting to pay $25 to get my work email. But I heard maybe if someone has the Magic email.apk It would work, ill try it if anyone has the apk please post and ill try it so we can see if the same email app will work on the Mytouch 3G.

HTC coded their own version of the exchange sync and included it on the HTC Magic's released in Asia. From what I hear, it is completely functional and should be on the ones released in the US as well. When someone identifies that they have it available, please post a small review of its use in the US. This is the only thing preventing me from going to the Android platform permanently.
Hi guys I have unrooted Acer A500 and today I got system update over the air and now I have Acer_A500_1.141.01_EMEA_Gen3 and the biggest feature of this update for me is ability to add Corporate email account ...Microsoft ActiveSync Exchange....
now my tab is configured with the push mail for my office email.....very kool.....
Also With 1.139.05_COM_GEN1 The corporate account has been activated.
Even if I'm facing strange behavior, not being able to sincronize the last 3 / 4 days.
Same configuration of exchange server is perfectly working for touchdown sw.

I also can finally access Corporate account, but not all my Contacts will come down. Can't figure out why. Calender and email are all there.
Check your contacts and see if they are all there.
Same as you, exchange global contacts not available.
As a workaround, I've installed this app:
https://market.android.com/details?id=net.vivekiyer.GAL&feature=search_result
Works like a charm !

being able to download a global address book shouldn't be allowed, as some can be HUGE (my job has 27,000+ contacts in the gal)
We had a windows mobile or android phone last year with a corrupt profile and it tried to dl the whole gal.... phone ran out of memory at 17000!
most e-mail apps will allow you to search against it though.
This one doesn't download GAL. It just let you gain access to the GAL as EMail application does it but only for email adress
Yea but I'm accessing my own personal Exchange Server and I don't enforce full encryption. I only keep about 500 names on in it in the "non corporate" side, all associated to my personal account. All 500 came into my HTC Inc2, but my Acer only brought in about 350-400. I'm trying to figure out why, was it an association to a classification, linked accounts... or what. So far seems random.
Also, I downloaded "Corporate address book" you refered to on the Market to my HTC Inc2, (says it won't load to my Acer). I set up my server and to be sure my contacts weren't "GAL" I ran it and says nothing found, no matter what I search for.
Thanks.
hello
i have encountered the same pb on S3 and now also on the S4. I can not configure the exchange email app. only the mail. how can i do that because it seems to me already that samsung only says that you have exchange email but it doesnt work. wtf?!
Mail exchange works perfectly on Sgs3 and now on sgs4... I use it non stop. Ask your administrator of the mail exchange server settings. You do something wrong with the settings.

Wow .. now that activesync has expired on gmail I need to reinvent my mail syncing on my new s4.
The way I wanted to go about it is that I let gmail sync calendar and contacts and use the native mail client via imap.
Why not use gmail for mails too .. well because I need to set up my work activesync account too .. and I don't want two apps for mails.
First thing I notice is that when I set up imap access to gmail with the native application I get no push functionality (imap idle). The shortest sync frequency is 5 minutes. This is not good enough.
I am now thinking about using the eMail app from CM10.1 .. which served me well on my old device but I really don't want to loose any of these nifty Samsung features (which I may already have lost because I installed swiftkey from playstore .. don't know yet).
Anyone have some tips for me on how to proceed?

Google has stopped providing exchange mail for private and personal Gmail (starting February 2013), so you can use the build in Gmail account in your phone or to set IMAP.

That was for "additions," not legacy users. I'm still using GMail ActiveSync with my N2 and Note 10.1 Does anyone know if it's carried-over based on GMail account or only by individual device? For example, if I got a SGS4 would ActiveSync that's currently working on my N2 continue to work on other phones I swap after that?

Yep .. either switch to outlook.com, use a software that can do imap idle (K9Q i guess .. never really got into that) or do it like i do it right now .. live with the 5 minute delay in the standard email client and do the syncing for calendar, contacts etc. via gmail account.
At least this is my solution for today
Actually I'm using a hacked client from CM10.1 .. to not have to enter the PIN so often. The thing is that all Samsung stuff is lost .. like in-mail translations .. this is quite a pity .. I really hope for a security patched version soon. Oh .. to clarify .. the patch is not for my googlemails of course .. but for the other exchange account I have to set up.
Being new to the Android world having come from the Windows Mobile environment I am perplexed to see how I can display my calendar details from my work's MS Exchange server. I have the emails and contacts working fine but all the Apps and Wiggits I have seen so far don't seem to work for the calendar. Surely someone else other there wants to have their work calendar on their S4 so could you advise me how you have done it? Many thanks in anticipation.

You can Try this app called touchdown by nitrodesk... install the trial version from play store and you can evaluate if the app satisfy what you need.

I suggest you download Google calendar from Play Store and then go into the options and select the calendars you wish to show. It has got this neat widget too. I'll try to attach a screenshot

Many thanks. I have actually done that and while it works for email and contacts, the calendar doesn't sync. I has contacted the company for advice but also noted a number of discussions around the wider problem of sync'ing between MS Exchange and Android devices. Would be interested in knowing if there are any widgets out there that show your appointments stored on MS Exchange?
I use my business email via exchange server using the stock email app,
Widget calendar and email works flawlessly,
Sync also does push in realtime

Got my Live and G watch today, but am bummed as the Wear companion app constantly crashes on my Nexus 5 running stock 4.4.4. After finding no info online, I factory reset my Nexus 5 to add apps back and try to isolate the cause.
Long story short, it is when I sync my corporate exchange email account via the stock mail app that causes the Wear app crashes. If I delete the exchange account, Wear runs fine. When I add the exchange account back, it dumps all over itself... I need to sync exchange for my job, so I'm dead in the water... ...sigh... I bought the Live and G watch to try them both out too...
Hopefully an update comes quick, or someone has a suggestion.
maybe this isn't a good idea / won't work for you but.. a 3rd party email app.. or adding the account though the gmail app may work? if possible.
Same here

Have exactly the same behavior on stock HTC One M7 running latest 4.4.2 (Sense 6.0) with Samsung Live. With my corporate Exchange account configured, Google Wear app continually crashes and the phone doesn't sync with the watch. As soon as I remove the Exchange account from the phone, everything works perfectly with Google Wear.
now using the Touchdown mail app as a temp workaround
So I tried multiple other activesync mail apps (Mailwise, Nine, etc), just to make sure the problem wasn't the stock android mail app itself. Same results with the Android Wear app repeatedly crashing until I kill the exchange account.
Finally I tried the app Touchdown, with is a bit different in that it sticks your exchange account in its own security container. That seems to be a functional workaround. The problem is it only a 30 day trial, and I don't like the app itself.
Ultimately I bought my Android Wear device as a peripheral to use at work, so not having the native email app functionality to use is frustrating. I get that this is new tech, so its the early adopter blues for me lol. Hopefully Google fixes the Android Wear app before the trial runs out on Touchdown, because I definitely like the new watches.
Anyone have luck with with the Samsung email app and wear? My watch comes Friday and I will definitely need to get exchange email on it.

had the same problem on my LG G watch together with the company excahnge integration (nexus 5 - google default mail app).
did several resets - reboots etc. etc. no luck...
after 1day of testing i found a working solution for me -
1) remove the exchange account from your mail app
2) install the "cloudMagic" app (supported for android wear)
3) configure cloudMagic to work with your company exchange ---
4) receive company mails and notification again - and use your android wear app again
cons:
-contacts and meetings are not synchronized ---- !!!

Just a heads up... CloudMagic copies *all* of your email on to their own servers. They index it locally on their own systems which is how they get such fast mail searches. This would be a violation of most enterprise IT usage agreements..
I've seen updates to the Wear device... hopefully they update the Wear app soon!

That's not a solution - it's a workaround with some serious limitations including that CloudMagic probably violates most of our IT security policies by storing your email on their servers.
I've noticed something especially odd about the crashing on my S4 and the Samsung Messaging app. It works for me in the late morning, afternoon and evening. Then the crashes start sometime after I go to sleep and continue through mid morning. So each morning I remove my corp email account and then by around 10am I put it back and it works well again until the next overnight.
I am using nine and have no issue with my corporate email. I can reply, mark as read or delete straight from the watch . I have the Samsung gear live
Same issue here...
After I updated To 4.4.4 it was working with my three corporate accounts. Three days ago it started crashing again for unknown reasons.
Is there any apk version out there which works?

I'm in the exact same boat. I would love to know if there's a previous APK that is stable with EAS accounts. My Samsung Gear is useless to me without exchange data.
