I have managed to add my account via Accounts & Settings but only options to sync contacts and calendar. BUT when selecting synchronize -nothing happens - says its been synced but no contacts nor items in the calendar appears!
When going to Mail app and adding my mail account same way it says that it cannot connect to the server. WTF - does the exchange not working at all?
Did you try
Settings > Accounts and sync > under Manage Accounts > Sync Calendar / Sync Contacts "Touch to sync now"
you can set your sync settings here, did you enable Push and auto-sync?

You might need to confirm if there is any issue at your Exchange server (but Your Exchange Admin will never admit
ok, let's take 1 step back, and do some fundamental check
1. did you manage to login to your Exchange in the phone? (you should get a pop-up notification if you failed)
2. did you send any email out?
3. did you manage to receive any email?
It is working with HTC Desire so the answer is yes, my Exchange server is fine
any idea which firmware you having?

Hi all,
I've setup the Outlook Email to sync with my exchange server at work... however, it has syned my calendar and not emails (i only wanted it to do emails). For some reason, it's saying the details are not correct (yet it's capable of syncing calendar). Anyway, I've told it not to sync anything (so I won't receive them anymore) but how do I remove the account from my phone?
Thanks,
Amnesia
ActivSync
Strangely it's done from within ActiveSync and not the messaging app.
I found out after trying to setup direct push yesterday.
If you click the bottom right softkey in active sync and choose options or somthing(i forget exact item) you can change/remove accounts from there, and even change what items it syncs (calendar/contact/mail/etc) by just ticking and unticking them.
cheers mate! I'll give that a try.
I have activesync setup but it's not importing the google contacts. How do I reset activesync or change it???

it never syncs the contacts though...
Coming from iphone and android. This sync business with the htc hd2 is a real pain in teh ass.
It synced fine but now it keeps on telling me to check my exchange settings.
After it initially synced fine with google.
Hardware rocks but man how do people manage with windows mobile is beyond me.
+1 on the question asked need to know as well.

workes fine for me
[email protected]
password ************
domain leave blank
server address M.google.com
also sync it 2times and everything will be there
you should sign up for www.miqlive.com service and you never have to work about importing or exporting of contacts
just to clarify....you are using exchange right? not the default gmail setup?

I'm wanting to import the "Phone" contacts from my g1. these are synced with my google account. If I look at google voice for that account all these contacts are there. So how should I do that?
you need to setup Outlook for your gmail, the default gmail is IMAP and syncs email only.
go to outlook setup and fill in your username and password as your gmail credentials. the domain can be left blank and when asked set the server address as m.google.com
once completed you will be given a column of tick boxes, be sure to untick the tasks option.
then sync. it may take a couple of syncs to work; i find that if i go to the actual Activesync app and hit sync it seems to work better the first time round.

awesome! thanks. How can I get rid of the activesync that's on there now? like the one I already set up?
just scroll to the email tab, press Menu, Account Options, Delete.
Hi,
I found that using ActivSync to connect to "Microsoft Exchange" using the GoogleSync settings worked for me (server address m.google.com).
Regards.

NM, solved.
Mines blank. Are you using HTC's setup wizard or creating an Activesync partnership through Activesync itself?
I always just run the setup by going to Settings, Data Services, Activesync. I then find the actual Activesync programme and select the sync option. Sometimes it takes a couple of goes to kick in, and I usually leave the programme open while it's syncing as occasionally when I put the programme into the background it doesn't finish syncing.
Is there a way to setup 2 exchange accounts? I had an iPhone before I switched to the HD2 and had downloaded an application which allowed me to configure more than 1 exchange account. I would like to have my work and Gmail setup as exchange push. Is it possible?
Hi 94loranger
It is possible to do two exchange accounts with the HD2 but I'm not sure about two lots of e-mail. I'll give you an example, we have a shared account for our company appointments and one for our own e-mail and contacts. On my HD2 I have 2 exchange accounts, one to the shared calendar and one to my work e-mail. I also have an IMAP account specified for my own personal e-mail server.
To get the two exchange accounts setup you have to get the sequence right or it doesn't work. Also once you have done this activesync / mobile device centre will show an error every time you connect as they can only cope with a single exchange account. It doesn't stop you from accessing the phone though my computer though.
Starting with a new phone, no accounts setup tap Start -> Tools -> Active Sync. Then tap menu -> new server. Enter the details for your exchange server and when you get to the final screen un-check the items you don't want to sync for this account. In my setup I un-checked everything except the calendar. Complete the wizard and let it sync.
Once this is done tap Start -> E-Mail. Tap the "Setup E-Mail" option and follow it though. If you opt to setup another exchange count. You will only be able to synchronise the items you didn't select when setting up the account through active sync wizard. For my setup this accounts does the e-mail, contacts and tasks. Complete the wizard and let it sync.
You can go back to Start -> E-Mail and setup any other POP or IMAP accounts you need.
I hope this give you some clues as to how you want to achieve what you want. I found the clues on a website somewhere, just can't remember where
Take care,
Ryan
I will try to set it up that way and see if it works. Thanks

Have you looked in settings/accounts and sync under manage accounts ther should be gmail sync. select that and ther should be 3 tabs for contacts, mail and calendar. make sure all are selected. toggling any off then on will do an immedite sync.
Don't know about exchange as I don't use it. does that show as well?
I have under manage accounts - pc sync which works, google which works and twitter which does not work on contacts. comes up with a sync error.
have you tried to compose email using exchange activesync... there is no option to select GAL..... man dell sucks
so, after a lot of google'ing, it seems that android 2.1, without carrier modification to allow exchange cal sync, is missing the option.
exchange cal sync is only available in 2.2
all the more reason why I desperately need 2.2
I have two Google accounts setup on my Android. I only want one of the accounts to sync contacts and calendar with Gmail, but it automatically syncs both accounts. How do I prevent it from doing that?
When I try to delete one of the accounts, it gives me an error saying "This account is required by some applications. You can only remove it by resetting the phone to factory defaults..."
If I do a factor reset, will it remove all my current contacts, calendar, messages, app, etc?
Try this:
Go into Settings > Accounts & Sync > click on your google account you don't want to sync anymore, untick the options for syncing.
I'm not sure if it will allow you to not sync but I can't see why it shouldn't

There is no "checkbox" to prevent syncing. If I tap on it, it starts automatically syncing.
I am running froyo 2.2
