Android 2 should support multiple exchange accounts, however no matter what I try.. I can't add a second exchange account.
Is this feature blocked? or am I doing something wrong? If it is blocked, is there a way around it?
Just got the following reply from the HTC Customer Service (I also asked them about this issue):
"The HTC Legend does not support multiple Exchange accounts."
only way i have managed to do it is have one exchange account and access the other accounts via imap/ pop or mobile owa
I now use Moxier to access my second Exchange account.
Works great.

Ok I have a quick question regarding my phone.
My co worker just got a 8700C Blackberry. He setup e-mail on the phone by simply entering in his yahoo e-mail and password, our company e-mail and password. Wala.....he get's e-mail pushed to his blackberry instantly, well not quite instantly but it gets pushed to his device when he gets new e-mail automatically.
On my phone however i am accessing my work e-mail using pop3 ad downloading manually. I cannot sync with my work exchange server because the IT group will not setup my phone unless it is a approved company phone. Meaning Treo.
So....my question is how can I get the 8125 to operate just like my friends blackberry without having to deal with anyone from my IT group.
Is this possible?
I know there are freee services such as mail2web but these simply create a new e-mail account for you and push to your device right? I would like to use my work e-mail and push to my phone directly.
Just seeing how simply he set his up almost sold me on getting rid of my phone and getting a blackberry. But i'll do some more investigating before I just ship.
You could set up a mail2web account and forward your work email to your mail2web email which will then be pushed to your device.
I have my Gmail accounts forwarded to my mail2web and it works well.
some mail services such as yahoo, hotmail etc charge fee for forwarding
I have two premium (paid) Hotmail accounts, and two POP that I need to access regularly.
AFAIK, Pocket MSN can only do one Hotmail account simultaneously (without having to switch accounts).
Is there an easy way to access them all easily (a la Blackberry). I'm no even asking for Push here (which is seriously advertised everytime I reset my x7500 but does not work).
I also tried Windows Live. Apparently this "state of the art just out of beta" thing asks you to switch between hotmails accounts too.
Sorry for whining, but this is all SO easy on a Blackberry... But at the same time Blackberries are ridiculously limited devices on other aspects compared to WM ones.
Having this working on WM is a must for business users.
Thanks for any help!
well u need to make a SECOND ACCOUNT and it should be a POP3 protocol account and must enter the pop3 settings manually yourself to make one...
Pocket MSN allows you to login to only ONE hotmail account at a time but several POP3 ones.
In Blackberry land you can have several Hotmail AND several POP3 accounts at the same time (not to mention pushed to your device almost in real time) with only one login. You get ALL you emails from every account in one shot (specially Hotmail and MSN)
I was looking for something similar with the x7500.
While we're at it. Can anyone, already using the new 'Windows Live Mail' on his Athena, confirm if this one will allow this? PocketMSN clearly does not.
Try HTTPMail Provider
I could never get Pocket MSN to work, so use the HTTPMail Provider for my Hotmail email. I think you can do more than one account with it. More details here: http://kripster.blogspot.com/2007/04/accessing-msn-mail-on-pocket-pc.html

HELP!
I'm new to the whole mobile email thing. I recently bought an 8525 and I'd really like to set it up for push email but I just don't have a good understanding of what to do and how to do it.
Can someone point me in the right direction? Is there a wiki for mobile email? I have about a half dozen POP3 accounts now that I'm accessing via Outlook 2003 on my PC.
Thanks in advance
Dave the Noob!
Hi Dave...i feel this is something which isnt particularly documented in the wiki so you wont get a standard "Read the wiki etc.." reply hehe
The BEST thing i ever did was to get a gmail account, and route ALL my emails through it, by applying tags to the emails you receive you can easily tell which account they are from. Pop3 accounts can be checked at regular intervals by gmail so no problem there, and if you filter them appropriatly you can get certain emails pushed to your phone via an exhcnage account. You can get a free push email account (exchange account) using mail2web.com's service.
The best thing about doing this is gmail's spam filter works VERY well, and you get 2GB of space.
I personally get selected emails routed to my push account (kindly provided by walshieau....not a public service) , and also the exchange account holds my contacts and appointments.
After a ROM flash all i gotta do is sync with the exchange account and my contacts/emails and appointments are restored.
My push mail from Hotmail seems to be moving very slow lately and it is very anoying. Things like this make me miss my blackberry. I deal with alot of email a day and I need my emails to come to me quickly. I noticed when I installed the hotmail account the windows direct push icon can't be selected like when I had my @live.com email address. I dropped live because it decided to lock me out and not let me back in. Does anyone have any sugestions? I also don't want to deal with getting emails through another server.
THANKS

I noticed that using Windows Live as its good times and bad times. Sometimes emails seem to come instantly and sometimes they seem delayed.
I know you said you prefer not to use a different server, but I must say, if you're willing to pay, then an Exchange server is the best.
If don't mind an @mail2web.com email address, you can set that up for free, but it won't be HTML.
If you have your own domain you can pay for a business account for about $20/month (including taxes). This allows you to use your own domain name, plus it uses Exchange 2007 so it offers HTML email. You can also sync your contacts, tasks, and calendar.
Another option is to use the Sprint Email app. I used that for a while and it seemed pretty fast too.
Now that I have that Exchange server, I can't see myself going back to anything else.
I just wanted to add that I think an Exchange Server will give you the closest thing to a Blackberry experience on Windows Mobile. Some people even say its better than Blackberry.
I am in no way affliated with them, but if you have your own domain to use for hosting, I love Sherweb; they're only about $8/month for hosted Exchange 2007. However, you're not going to be able to use your hotmail/live.com email address on a hosted Exchange server, since Hotmail won't auto-forward and you can't setup a reply-to address on the Exchanger server end (workarounds are possible, but messy).
I'd rather try to setup my sprint mail. if I add another twenty bucks on my bill I will be back up to black berry prices. how would I setup my sprint mail for push? when I setup the mail it asks me for how often to check for messages. the hotmail lets me select as items come. sprint does not seem to have an automatic email retrieve option unless I am doing something wrong?

You wouldn't actually be setting up your Sprint email account, but the Sprint Email program that should be in your Start > Programs menu. It should walk you through all of the steps to push your hotmail/live account.
Now for the stupid question. I reinstalled my hotmail email using the sprint email application and I have two hotmail email icons now. Is there anyway to remove the old one with out hard reseting and doing it all over again? Also would you know how to setup another email account with the sprint email option or is it just a one time thing?
THANKS!
I don't even rely on Windows Live Push email anymore.
I use mail2web , check out mail2web.com
They offer free exchange server push so you can just forward your mail to that address.
Check them out its the best.

I hear you, I just find it frustrating to have to do all of this in order to have push mail. Something that is available but it seems to be a broken system.....thanks Microsoft
Try this...I found it at our friends ppcgeeks. http://community.seven.com/forum/main.php
Quite a few ppl from ova there use it. I've been using it about a week now and it works pretty good. Even has a home tab to let you know its connected and pushing. The longest an email has taken was 10 min and the shortest about 1 min. Its better than outlook logging on and syncing process and it is full HTML support. It also can have upto i think 5 dif emails
Push
Another option for email is www.mobipush.com
I have 2 mail accounts 1 is an exchange server the other is Imap both business,
The exchange server account works perfectly.
The Imap account however has no option to receive messages as they arrive. Only the crap scheduling options which i refuse to use.
The Imap account is not Gmail, Hotmail or Yahoo. It is my own server on my own domain so I have control over everything and it does support push.
The strange thing is I have a basic SE (and when I say basic I mean it) that I use when I'm out, and that uses my Imap account with push perfectly . I also had a HTC TyTN ii with the exact same setup as I'm trying to configure on my HD2 and that supported push on my Imap account.
At first I thought it might be a limitation on the HD2 to only have one push connection active at any time. So I removed my Exchange account and re-setup my Imap account on its own, but still no option for collect items as they arrive.
Am I missing something or has anyone else come across this problem.
There is no native support for IMAP push in Windows Mobile, unfortunately. You need a third-party solution like Seven for that. By default you only get push with Exchange, and that is limited to only one account.
Thanks that well and truly cleared that up. I must not have had it set-up on my TyTN ii then, just thought I did.
Any chance you could post a link with details of seven tried searching google for
seven winmo app
but just got lots of stuff about winmo 7.
Thanks
forget that found it
