Hey folks!
I've set up multiple E-Mail accounts on my HD2. How can I tell the device which one to use when sending a mail?
Right now the device seems to use the (automatically generated) Outlook-Account. Of course this doesn't work, so sending a mail is impossible.
Sadly this Outlook account can't be deleted...
Can I select another account (like my GMX one) for sending?
Thx!!!
I'm not sure I understand the problem. Are you saying that when you click on the new mail icon from Sense, that it sends from the Outlook account only?
I can see three ways to choose which account to send mail from.
1. Select the account you want to work with in Sense by clicking on it on the right side of the screen, then click the 'New Mail' icon at the top right of the screen. Whatever account is selected, the email should be setup to be sent from that account (that's the way it works on mine).
2. Select the account you want to work with in Sense by clicking on it on the right side of the screen, then click 'Menu' and 'New Mail', and the email should be setup to be sent from the account you currently have selected. Or,
3. Select the account you want to work with in Sense by clicking on it on the right side of the screen, then click 'Inbox', then click 'Menu' and 'New', and the email will be setup to come from the account that you are currently viewing.
All of these work fine on mine. I only have two accounts setup, however I don't see why it would be any different if you have 10 accounts or more setup.
I hope that helps.
Dude, you're the greatest! The problem was indeed that I had the selected the Outlook account on the right side.

A few months back I was messing around with MSN options and it added Hotmail to my list of email accounts on my 8125 and it gives no option to remove it. I don't want to check hotmail and never will. How can I remove this? Also, in my list of email accounts is also Outlook Email. Can this be removed also?
Select messaging, Hotmail(or whatever you named the account), menu, tools, options, touch and hold the account name and a delete option will appear. Bye Bye....
Wouldn't this technically be a question about email removal, not email setup?
But seriously, yeah, it's just as easy as tcestes says.
I believe it is a question about removing an account that was set up. Your mileage may vary.......
I've already tried that, guess I should have mentioned it. Actually when I go to Menu, Tools, Options.....Hotmail & Outlook Email are NOT even listed under the accounts. But if I go into my email and click at the upper left for the dropdown menu of all accounts, there they are.
Hello again fellow Touch 3g owners,
So ive come across this article and i was wondering if anyone has tried this. Im not able to try it with the standard email application for the touch 3g. I have been using the windows live application to sync my emails but i dont like it because it only syncs emails i havent read and i think its kinda stupid to have to open another application just to sync ur emails. Would gladly appreciate any input on this.
EDIT:
Ok so ive got it working by following one of the comments of the article. The email program automatically detects settings for these 3 domains: live.com, hotmail.com and msn.com. You do not want this to happen, so what you have to do is enter a fake domain like [email protected] and then enter the settings found in the article. Remember to tick the box for ssl and authentication for both ingoing and outgoing in the advanced settings. when ur done you can change the accountname to ur real email. this worked for me (accessed my emails, havent tried sending yet but i dont think that will be a problem).
just an update
So ive got it working, however its not to my liking. It works great exept for a few things. One is that i cant preview the messages in touchflo, it shows when and from who but not a preview of the content. Second is that mails already read elsewhere it downloads as unread. And last but not least, it takes a long time to sync. So if any of you has found a workaround pleas let me know.
Why don't you just configure all your pop3 in the mail tab. There you can easily and quickly send/receive or sync.

I configured my mails (including hotmail) using the Mail Tab. Once configured it gives the icons on the right as to which accounts I am looking at. And when I tap Menu - Send/receive, the individual icons (accounts) shows how many e-mails have come in (still unread) for each account (if any).
Follow this link http://www.ghacks.net/2009/01/22/enable-hotmail-pop3-in-all-countries/ for hotmail configuration.
When first configuring, do not put [email protected][U]hotmail.com[/U], put something else (e.g. [email protected][COLOR="Red"]zzxxyy.com[/COLOR]). Configure manually, do not let it search. The rest follow instructions from above link. Once completed, then update - which gives fail. Then Tap Menu-Tools-Options-tap the hotmail email acc - and input all the correct info from there (the actual account login name, password.) Tap send/receive... Wallllla !!!!

Well, it depends on the beholder. I configured it in less than 5 minutes, just once. Well that's the only way now, that I know and would like to share. Others may have a much more simpler, easier and less complicated way. I don't know.
Hi
I have 2 Google Apps accounts (one personal and one work)
From what I can tell, you can only sign in with one account into Android and to access the other Mail i will have to use IMAP. Fair enough, i can live with that. But i'm not sure i can live without both cals or google talk on both (or any other aspects which I have yet to check on, such as lattitude, although I cant actually find latitude on my maps app.)
Is there a way of
* syncing more than 1 calendar?
* logging into more than one account in google talk (IM app or others) as when you access the IM prog it brings up a page which looks like it should list all of the accounts you want to access... which, if you cant access more than 1, is a little pointless from what i can make out.
I dont suppose cupcake makes any of this possible does it?
cheers
Hi,
I know that the calendars can be done.
I have several google and apps accounts.
The account you use as the primary needs
to be given FULL access to the other calendar.
Go to the secondary account and do the sharing
and access stuff. I had to dig around a little for
the right procedure in the google help forums. Once
your primary user can edit events on the web for the
secondary calendar then all should be well. Remember
to color code them. I am currently working with three
calendars. They all will show up as one and color coded.
You can't open separate instances for each calendar.
When you add an event on your phone you get a dropdown
to choose which calendar to add it to.
K9 Mail (free app on the Market) is an excellent client that supports multiple IMAP/POP3 accounts.
For calendar sync, it's a little more trickier. You need to share your 2nd calendar with your main one by doing the following:
Sign into Google with your 2nd account.
Go to Calendar, and click on Settings link (top right corner)
On the Calendar Settings page go to "Calendars" tab.
Click the "Share this calendar" link.
Under the "Share with specific people" section, enter the e-mail address of your primary account, select "Make changes AND manage sharing" permission setting, click the "Add Person button, and finally click the "Save" button.
Log out of Google.
Sign into Google with your primary account and go to Calendars.
Go to Settings and verify that the calendar from your 2nd account is now listed under "My Calendars" section.
On your G1 open the Calendar app
Press the Menu button, select "More" and then "My calendars" option.
Press the Menu button again and select "Add calendars" option. This should sync up and present you a list with your 2nd account's calendar.
Select it, save and exit the Calendar app.
Repeat steps 1 through 12 for adding more calendars from your other accounts.
You're done.
I still haven't found a way to sync contacts from multiple gmail accounts. Maybe there's an app for that?
har har har everything works except this hmm. How bout adding all your work contacts to your regular account and make it into a group named "work". That way they don't mix or you can pull up fast.

That work-around is a one-way sync though. Time to put in a feature request at Android Google Code group.
Hi, i manually set up my email account for hotmail, but when i out my sim in it made another for hotmail, so now i have 2 hotmail accounts of the same mail.
How do i remove one, there is nothing in the options only edit?
I also have this problem, would appreciate an answer for it!
HTC Sense, Mail tab
Right softkey ("Menu")
"Account settings" option
Right softkey ("Delete")
Select accounts to delete
Left softkey ("Done")
If you want to remove the Outlook account, do so through WMDC.
Thanks for the reply Yunabeco, but I think the issue jrvenge and I are having is that, that option is greyed out so we are unable to delete the account in the way you just described.
Inbox - Menu - Tools - Options - tap and hold on account you wish to delete, select delete after popups menu
Hey thanks it worked, just cant do it in the sense menu, i keep forgetting its a wm phone and you have to go into windows settings to do things not in the sense gui
Argh, still greyed out for me. Gonna kill every process in task manager, see if that helps.

Thanx...!!!
Nope
, i press and hold the hotmail account in the list, the popup has one entry - Delete - but it is still greyed out. Arrrrrgh. Any movement on this issue?
Sam
Oh, simple.
Ahhh sorted it.
Sorted it. Start - Windows Live - Menu - Account Options - Switch Windows Live ID - Confirm the warning - (Reject the new terms of service page if it comes up, this only happened the first time i did this, not on subsequent tests)
and you should find the hotmail inbox and contacts are gone.
Press and holding the account name and finding it greyed out seems understandable now, because more that just the email inbox is conected. If you still want the contacts, log back in to live, but untick teh sync email option.
Hi
I've tried all of the above and other bits but STILL the hotmail account is greyed out.
I went to the options window to remove it and surprisingly its not even listed, but when i look at the email tab, its sitting there?!?!
I've removed the link to Windows live as listed, i've removed all other email accounts in the hope that the hotmail account will become active so that i can delete it.
Hair pulling time!!!!
Any advice pleeeeeaaaaasssseeeee
I was also looking for this since now it is possible to use Exchange Sync for hotmail accounts: http://windowsteamblog.com/internat...lendario-y-contactos-exchange-activesync.aspx
To remove it go to MSN, options, change the user login, then Reject. You end up with no hotmail accounts.
Can someone tell me how to prevent email from deleting on server side when using HD2 to check POP email account?
i remmember there is a option to not delete email on server side, but i can't find it now in HD2...
Well . . .
Try the following:
Start->E-Mail->Select the account you want->Menu->options->
Click the account->Edit account Setup->5X<Next>->Advanced Settings->
When deletting messages - Select "Keep them on the server"
(I have not tested it, so it would be nice to know if it actually works as expected )
you only can change that using the email icon of Windows Mobile (tap start button left upper corner of the home screen and then tap email). Choose your account, tap menu (right lower corner of the screen), tap extra (scroll through the menu) - tap options - tap your account again - tap send/receive options - tap advanced (lower side of the screen) - and there you will be able to choose to keep messages on the server instead of removing them.
Edit: sorry Som3One, did not see your post! Directions to do it are the same IMHO

Some30ne,
I know this is an old (ish) thread but I have been trying to get to the bottom of this problem since I got my HD2 in February.
The instructions above are perfect EXCEPT that the drop-down option "Keep them on the server" does not exist on my phone.
Weird
Anyone got any ideas?
I wonder if there is part of the registry that deals with these settings?
Cheers
The HD2 does NEVER delete POP e-mails after checking them, only after deleting them manually on the phone, and only if the above option is set for it.
If the e-mails disappear after you checked them once with your HD2, it's the server doing it, and it's the server configuration you need to check. For example Gmail archives mail automatically by default once they're retrieved via POP, so they're not in the inbox anymore and "disappear" on the next check. But that can be turned off.

Thanks for the reply.
The option to "Keep them on the server" does not appear in the drop down on my hd2. I get "delete them off the server" and "move them to server trash". so one answer is not to delete anything and simply alter the number of messages I am viewing.
I would appreciate having the option "leave them on the server" if anyone can work out how to do this, that would be great.
I wonder if the newer hd2s have fewer mail configuration options for e.g. Safeboxextender doesn't work on my phone whereas other users report this working.
Any help appreciated.
Remember that option only affects mail that you manually delete on the HD2, as theoretically the mail you'd delete would be spam or such, so having those deleted on server side is a plus. But simply don't delete any and you're fine.
ok, thanks Kilrah
I agree this is the only option at the moment.
Thanks for your time
on PC??
I found that "do not delete from server" can be ticked on my laptop (the one I synch my HD2 to...) in Outlook setup and that solves the problem posted by OP. So if OP uses Outlook, it should be that simple. Other email clients, I dunno...

Are you syncing to Exchange or Outlook? If you Exchange sync, your outlook is making an "Exchange Connection" when you create the account. Otherwise, your outlook is making a POP3 connection. I think your "do not delete from server" implies that you are syncing HD2 to Outlook and Outlook is making a POP3 connection. That's why you need to stop Outlook from deleting the mails on the server.
Maybe I'm way off base, but I thought that this was normal behavior for pop clients... no way to use IMAP instead?
Perfect solution to the problem I was having as well. Thank you!!
