I tried a couple Android 2.0 ROMs and it seems to me that Android 2.0 supports Exchange email only. I did not find any 'native' support for Calendar or Contacts. Did I miss it somehow or can anybody please confirm my findings?
As I know, Android 2.0 exchange is too weak to support contact.
We must wait for 2.1.

Hi, I recently switched from MyHero to Cyanogen and am really starting to miss the Exchange functionality I had in MyHero. After configuring my works exchange server it would sync mails, contacts and calendar events.. extremely useful!
Now on Cyanogen I have "Work Email" which lets me check the mail on my works exchange server, but it;s kind of annoying as it's a different mail client, plus it doesn't sync contacts and calendar events.
Anyone know if I can get the exchange functionality from MyHero in Cyanogen?
Thanks!
Just got to work, a collegue has a HTC Dream which apparently has the full exchange funcionality.
How does my HTC Magic with a newever version of Android (and improvements by Cyanogen) have a crappier mail client than him? It makes no sense.
Please tell me how to get the full mail functionality I'm supposed to have
Just found out Cyanogen doesn't use the HTC Framework because it's not open source. Understandable but for me it's a deal breaker..
I'm starting to look for a new ROM..
I'm curious too about what ROMs offer full exchange functionality. So far, I've been using Hotweiss' Hofo ROMS, but those are 32a only.

It depends on what you mean by "full exchange functionality". There are many ROMs with Microsoft ActiveSync support. I have been most satisfied with the HTC Mail client running under Sense UI. I have an HTC Magic 32A device. I am currently using GyD 2.11. The HTC Mail client works brilliantly. Email, contacts, and calendar events sync. It is reported that 1.5 and 1.6 don't fully support the extra security layers on Exchange. Unless your company requires PIN lock/remote wipe, you can most likely use any 1.5 ROM to connect. Again, I have been most happy with the HTC Mail clients running under 1.5 cupcake builds.
You will not gain anything additional for work email if you've already been using Hofo Sense UI ROM. Hofo, GyD, MyHero, Mlign - they all have Exchange ActiveSync.
Hi,
I've just installed an Exchange 2010 in our internal environment and can not set up ActiveSync from a HTC Hero.
My Hero is updated with the latest version from HTC.
It works if I install a Third-party app for example RoadSync or touchviz and the testexchangeconnectivity site goes through without any warnings. We have a real SSL-certificate no self-signed.
I asked a question on HTC.com and got the following response:
"Thank you for Contacting HTC.
The Issues May occour because "Exchange 2010 Is Not officially compatible with our products yet, so if you wish to sync to an exchange server successfully I Will Have to Recommend That You use an EARLIER version of Exchange."
I Asked then if it applies to all Androidphones from HTC and then received this reply:
"Unfortunately yes, this involves all of our products though Windows Mobile devices had more success with Exchange 2010 Than Android."
I Can not find a solution to this. I have tested native Android Mail.apk and it works to sync but not the calendar, which means that it still sucks.
I have now tested to root my phone anf installed a different ROM:
"[ROM] FROYO_2.2_elelinux_v2.1 [ROM] Updated 2010-10-07"
But it did not work either. Does anyone know if there is any good Froyo ROM with HTC mailapp for HERO?
This issue is because the HTC mailapp do not follow the standard for ActiveSync devices against Exchange 2010 SP1.
Do someone have a solution/workaround for this?
Some problem here. Tried 6 or 7 different ROMs and Android versions without succes.
Sorry I forgot to update this thread that I solved it on my server/phones! Perhaps not the most elegant solution but it works as a workaround until HTC fixed the mailclient, or our old phones dies..
What you must do is to delete the Default ActiveSyncMailboxPolicy on the server.
Run this on the server: Remove-ActiveSyncMailboxPolicy -id Default
Then i think you can create a new ActiveSyncMailboxPolicy and assign those users who have phones that support Exchange 2010. I have not because i only have HTCs now.

Hi everyone..
The Q title says it all, are there any E-Mail apps for android out there that support multiple exchange activesync (EAS) accounts and can show HTML in its native form?
From my knowledge, the stock HTC mail app doesn't like EAS too much, Improved Email doesn't support HTML, K9-Mail doesn't support EAS, Nitrodesk Touchdown doesn't support multiple accounts!
Can anybody point me in the right direction?
Anyone??? Moxier and RoadSync also only support one exchange account at a time.. Maildroid doesn't work with Exchange. I used Seven a while ago but it had partial wake problems (killed battery), can't download from their server right now but not sure it supports HTML viewing.. running out of apps!
That's exactly what I want in an email client too.
I think some people get html with the stock froyo email client with Exchange 2007. I'm using the stock email on my DROID (2.2) for my Hotmail and my work email (Exchange 2003?) and I don't get html or images. Some messages look like garbage without html... too bad.
I used K-9 for a while, and despite some bugs, it is a great email client. I hope K-9 supports EAS someday.
So, just all I can say and what I use is the stock FroYo, that support multiple EAS, I do use 2 different (Work/Home) as fine as it can.
Only missing thing, no tasks..... Gingerbread ??

Does it also support HTML formatting and images for you?
I use Improved Email at the moment.. which is apparently a modded version of the stock client, it handles multiple accounts perfectly, is good to the battery, allows unlimited mail sync (not just upto 30days) etc but it doesn't display Hotmail via EAS in HTML.. that's the only extra functionality I need, tried the stock Froyo client before and it obviously doesn't support HTML, wish they would add this in!
Hi there, any update on this ?
I'm stuck too with plain html tags all over my synced mails with froyo stock client :'(
The stock email app on the Droid X does this i believe. i can add multiple exchange accounts (i only have one so i can't test it but it doesn't stop me from adding another) it also renders html...

Huh. My guess is that your Exchange servers are 2007 or 2010. I have stock froyo on my original Droid, and I get no HTML for my Hotmail (activesync) and my work email (Exchange 2003?).
Most of the time it doesn't matter, but some of the email I get looks awful without HTML and requires a lot of scrolling. On hotmail, sometimes the HTML tags even appear in the message.
Hi,
in the new Rom (Android 2.3.3) for Samsung Galaxy S I9000 is it possible to use the SMS Sync Function for Microsoft Exchange 2010.
In the HD2 Rom´s I can´t found this Function.
Is this Function integrated by Samsung or is it just not build in?
Thanks.
Are you sure about this ? I can only see Contacts, Calendar and Tasks as sync options on the Account settings even though I was asked about SMS sync in the account setup.
If anything, I think it will be an Android function not specific to Samsung phones =)
I´m absolutely sure.
This feature isn´t available in any HTC mobile phone.
Galaxy S2 / S, this feature is available.
HTC HD2 and HTC Sensation is this Feature not available.
only if your exchange service is configured (by admin) to do text syncing..text syncing is available frm exchange server 2010 on wards
I have an Exchange 2010 server at my disposal. I'm currently using Windows Mobile 6.5 where die feature is working. I'm considering to switch to Android eventually, but I'd like to have that feature. As I refure to spend multiple hundred bucks to buy a new phone (my HD2's hardware is still totally sufficient for most OSs) it would be nice to know if this is an Android or Samsung feature.
I was kind of astonished as I connected a friend's Samsung Android phone to my Exchange and got the possiblity to sync text messages.
An inquiry at Samsung was doomed to fail as the lady in 1st level support didn't even understand my question, let alone was she able to forward it to another support level.
So no progress there.
Does anyone have new information?
Hi guys
i'm thinking of throwing Android on my HD2 but before I do, I need to know if I can support a couple of things?
Can I support two exchange email accounts?
Will it pull sync ALL info including pictures of people from the server?
Are there any particular fields that are not supported, like the "Notes"?
Is there a Microsoft OneNote client?
I'm guessing there is no MS Zune client at the moment either? Does anyone know if there are any plans?
To support the above, do I need a specific version of Android?
Thanks!!!!
