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,
Contemplating on buying the Hero. I have been using PIM backup for years. Can I migrate it all accross? What is the syncing like with Outlook please?
Cheers,
Will
There is no version of PIM Backup for Android at present (can't see it in the future either).
Though you could use a trial version of 4smartphone.com or a free exchange host to sync your email and contacts and the download them to the hero. This is what I did.
The only thing missing was the text messages - but that was fine for me.
I have gone from a Diamond (Ignito) to a Hero and i love it...
What i did was sync my contact in outlook and then export them to e CVS file and uploaded it to my GMail account.
Sync with GMail and now i have all my contacts on my phone, its great
im uesing roadsync to sync with microsoft exchange ... its works quite well ish apart from the contacts i ended up with two of everything
but calender and email are fine and its free
cant go wrong
Also went from a Touch Diamond to a Hero. All my contacts and calendar were linked with my Gmail account, so transferring it across was a doddle. Only issue at the moment is having a different phone number for 3 days while the PAC code is actioned.
i went from a Touch Diamond to a Hero aswell and all i did was sync my contacts to outlook and then had to sync them back with htc sync to the hero and all was good.
Went from Diamond to Hero, I use HTC Sync for calendar and contacts sync with Outlook 2007, works fine.
I went from a Diamond to Hero too.
Firstly, I can now understand what i have been missing out on by not having a capacitive touch screen!
Also, I synced my outlook contacts with google contacts first. Using some freeware called: GO Contact Sync.
Its a good simple app. From there its easy, the hero will autosync with google contacts and voila!
All you have to do is run the program every so often to keep it all up to date.
I also made the switch but from Diamond2 and after YEARS on Windows Mobile devices... very easy to use. 2007 exchange server working perfectly with Contacts, calendar and mail. It's fantastic. OK there's a few issues with the smoothness of the UI at times but hey I remember the first releases of TFL3D and that was far worse than this... and look how smooth it is now. So. I'm sure this will be improved by HTC very soon.
Hi guys,
I got an HD2 last week (an outstanding phone so far) and immediately synced it up via Active Sync to my Microsoft Outlook email account. All the emails flooded in as they should. But now I can't update my emails wirelessly, only when I sync up. Thus I set up the same account again in it's original btinternet form. I hope you're still with me.....This account is fine and updates as it should.
So, at the moment I've got the same email account setup twice with only one functioning properly and, as the title of this thread suggests, I want to delete the non-functioning Outlook account from the handset if I can. I've tried all the obvious methods ie going to mail, menu, account settings, delete and selecting the Outlook account, but all I get is 4 coloured dots rotating on the screen and no joy. I left it overnight and the dots were still spinning this morning! I've also deleted all the emails in the Outlook inbox, thinking that maybe they were causing the delay but that hasn't helped. Are there any other options or am I doing anything wrong?
Any advice would be appreciated, thanks in advance.
Thanks
bascially, connect it up to sync again, and then on the sync cilent you de-select syncing of mail. it will then remove it!
As easy as that eh? Yep, that worked! I'm new to all of this so thanks for the tip.
Now check for pink splodges on your camera pictures
No, none of those luckily! A bit of a pink tinge but once it focusses, the camera quality is actually quite good.
I am trying to test out my company's first Epic and I put in all the info, email address, domain\user name, password, server address. It accepts my info, I take the defaults of how much data to transfer and frequency, then it brings me to the mailbox. It shows my sub folders to the inbox, it populates my calendar and contacts. It leaves me on the main inbox folder and then a yellow bar comes up " Unable to open connection to server" and nothing populates in my inbox.
My company is on Exchage 2003, I have a vibrant working just fine as well as a HTC evo. I tried with multiple exchange accounts on the same server but get the same result.
Anyone have any ideas ?
Same Problem with Exchange and Epic 4G
We are using Exchange 2003 as well. Contact, Calendar, and other mail folders show up just fine. I can see sent items, deleted items, and all other sub folders. When I try to load the inbox, I get the same error message.
What gives?
I just picked the phone up about 2 hours ago and came right here to figure it out!
My company uses Exchange 2008 and I'm able to connect just fine. So much quicker and easier than the moment.
I had the same problem. I had to go to gmail and import my contacts for hotmail and then sync my phone to the gmail account.
i heard that when 2.2 comes out, the exchange settings would work.
i am only getting 50 of my 812 contacts to import.

I lost about 20 out of 252. So I just went back added the ones I'm missing.
Active sync support with most android phones is very dodgy -- some work and some don't. And I'm not talking about some models over another -- it's a unit specific issue. Some Epics do and some don't. The same thing was happening with the Droid X. The only models that consistently work are from HTC because they have their own active sync program in sense.
no workie, workie, now no workie
So i was here back at the beginning of September. Exchange would not load my inbox, then one day it started working for no reason I could find. I stopped using Moxier Mail and went to the built in email program.
Then two days ago, my Exchange account and another IMAP account I have set up on the mail client disappeared from the phone. NO idea why. My email, contacts, and calendar just vanished.
So I added back my exchange account, contacts and calendar came in just fine. Now my Exchange mail is back to where I was two months ago.
"Unable to open connection to server", that's all I get on the screen for my inbox.
Epic 4G, Exchnage 2003, built in mail client.
So I have a similar infrastructure to you, we run Exchange 2003 currently and have had numerous issues with the Epics. I have a couple tricks that really seems to help (at least in my environment)
1. When setting up the phone make sure the Calendar amount is set to All
2. Setting up the phone over Wi-Fi as opposed to the mobile connection seems to work significantly better.
3. If you have issues with the users calendar 9 times out of 10 its due to corrupt entries which not only cause issues with the calendar syncing, but also consume a huge amount of bandwidth. To correct this create a new calendar in Outlook, go into List view and copy everything from your calendar to the new one. All entries that cant copy need to be deleted. Move all your stuff back from the temp calendar to yours and the issue should be fixed.
I am running the leaked 2.2 on my Epic currently and it does seem to address a lot of the issues the Epic had with 2.1 and Active Sync.
Hope this helps and let me know if you have any questions.
I was in an ATT store today to check out the Focus. I played with it for about 20 minutes but never found a file explorer app. Does Windows Phone 7 have the same access to the file structure as Windows 6 did?

Nope. And though I'd like it, not really needed. Its quite closed on how everything works. Zune app to load music, vids, pictures, Skydrive (cloud) to load documents. Marketplace for apps.
I just came from a WM 6.1 device (HTC Hermes) and it takes some getting used too. Here at work we're still on XP and Skydrive wont work with it (and they probably shoot it down) and no Outlook coordination though I suspect MS wont ignore that forever.
Android is the closest to WM devices in that you can add and access everything.
Thanks for the reply. IMHO that is a very unfortunate thing. I am assuming that the ability to customize the device through the registry as in the past is also not possible. Which makes me wonder what Windows now has to distinguish itself from the competition. From what I have seen this is a major step backwards from my WinMo 6.5 Tilt 2.
Can you explain what you meant by "no Outlook coordination"?
Past WM devices used Active Sync or WMDC to sync Contacts, Calendar, Files etc. WM7 at this time does not use those tools or talk with Outlook directly, so there is no sync with Contacts and Calendar from Outlook. I think they will add it someday, but its not there now.
I found a work around here and got my old device to upload my 1100 contacts to the Hotmail cloud, and then they showed up on my Focus. I had to build my meeting notices though for the most part.
I'm sure a File Explorer app with show up someday, but its not a deal breaker, the phone works awesome and is a huge jump from WM6. And the iPhone is no different in having no file explorer or reg editor and its the #1 selling device.
I used a reg editor on WM6 cause I had too, to create things like short cuts etc...on WM7 its not needed that I've seen.
I also use my Live account to sync contacts & calendars. I didn't want to do that initially, but it's the best way I can find. I tried all different ways to Sync direct to Outlook, or use Google, but there is no Free way of doing it (Also not stable on the programs I tried). I still use Gmail for my mail, but not for calendar or contacts.
Once done, it works very well. I can update contacts or calendars from any pc or phone and it all syncs up nicely. It was a pain to transfer all my info from Outlook to Live. It lost some of the formatting at times, but a couple hours and I'm done. Even if I were to move to another phone in the future, I'll likely keep Live as my Calender and Contacts manager. Might even move back from Gmail? I LIVE by my Calendar because I forget EVERYTHING!
I know that someone will create a way similar to a File Explorer to explore the device and sync directly with files on a PC etc. For now though just the awesome screen, excellent web viewing and speed are enough to keep this guy happy
Ive come from all WM phones like a:
HTC Tilt
HP 910C Buisness Manager
Sony Ericsson X1a
So is the lack of Outlook sync just with personal Outlook accounts? I mean, will my calendar, contacts and email sync over my corporate Exchange server as they have in the past with 6.5?

Exchange integration is better than ever. So yes.... Calendar, Email and contacts will sync over the air with corporate exchange server.
