As the title says. The Galaxy Tab Exchange setup doesn't allow me to specify server to which it should connect. And our corporate Exchange server is not the same as my email address (mailadress is first name -dot- lastname -at- corporation - where Exchangeserver is webmail -dot- corporation). Setting up Exchange accounts are instant on any other device I have run (all HTC Android phones, Galaxy S, iPhone, iPad, etc)...
Anyone who has successfully setup an Exchange account on the Galaxy S?
I'm amazed that the Galaxy S and the Galaxy Tab uses completely different Exchange implementations. Galaxy Tab doesn't support categories, free/busy status and more. And also cannot connect to my email account where all other devices and phones can...
Solution
I resolved it myself. Going to the email app and choosing "add account" allows you to set manual settings for the Exchange account. Going through "Settings -> Accounts and Sync" does not allow you to use manual settings.

Since I've had this phone I've failed to sync with the Sync Centre. It just results in errors every time.
However, because I will be syncing everything that will be on my exchange server, how can I set up this exchange server on the X1? I don't mean the email address only, I need it to connect to my exchange calender, contacts, mail - everything.
I sync to my exchange server via mail2web with no problems - keep in mind if you are syncing to a pc as well you need to select only one location for calendar & contacts.
Isn't it possible to put in the exchange server details directly into teh phone without using 3rd party software?
Is it true that vodafone have removed the exchange feature from their handset?
I'm getting this error.. 0x85010014

you don't need 3rd party to set up exchange activesync, it's out of the box.

this is relating to the SSL. Either you have setup an activesync w/o SSL connection, or your PDA clock might be wrong that makes the SSL certificate invalid.
That's assuming your exchange server side is okay.
I've just discovered that everything part from mail will sync if I don't specify my exchange in Vista. When I do that's where the errors show up.
As for exchange on the phone, I will get "network waiting" when I disable SSL. This actually appears to be an issue with many WM devices. What do you mean when you say my clock might be wrong?
The simple Version:
Authentication inside of Active Directory runs over "Tickets" for every User. If the clocks between 2 Ressources are too tifferent, the Ticket becomes invalid, cause the time is an important component of the encryption.
The savest way is to let the phone sync its clock with the exchange server - after Active Sync configuration
For doing this you only need working SSL-encrypted "Outlook Web Access" and your Exchange account have to be "Active Sync"-enabled (an admin has to do this).
Windows Mobile shows you all information yout need to set Active Sync up.
Ah, so the exchange server needs to be active sync enabled?
At the moment I am syncing everything from outlook on my pc, not directly to the server as the device was designed to do
Mine works with my Exchange 2007 server without a problem, out of the box. I just entered my server address, my domain username and password.
Are you sure the server is set up correctly. The exchange server has to have OMA (Outlook Mobile Access) set up. Are there any other devices syncing with the server correctly? Is port 443 open?
Something to note I had to install the security certificate of the server on my phone before it could sync.
I use mine with an Exchange 2007 too. After installing the server
all the necessary features are turned on automatically:
- OWA (Outlook Web Access - website)
- OMA
- Active Sync user role for every account
The OWA-website has to be accessible for public. And the server certificate (for SSL) has to be installed if it is selfsigned
(it is if your browser shows a certificate warning on computers
outside of the company network). Copy it from the browser to
your phone and (double)click it for install. Alternativly ask your network administrator for help.
If the cert is bought from an official worldwide trusted cert
seller like thawte or verizon this should not be neccessary.

Noticed yesterday that Hotmail is only allowing POP connects every 15min, so when new mail arrives and you delete something, google tries to send the delete request to hotmail and it times out since it hasn't been 15min. Sad, but migrating to the Hotmail exchange settings may be the final solution. I just havent' got it to work properly yet. If anyone has had any success setting Hotmail up as Exchange let us know. Thanks
EDIT: Found directions...trying now..
Microsoft has mentioned that Exchange ActiveSync will be a separate roll out from the roll out of Windows Live Hotmail Wave 4. Officially, Exchange ActiveSync support on Hotmail not yet been released officially before end of 2010. However, it seems that the Exchange ActiveSync support has been enabled for some, but more and more Hotmail accounts, regardless of whether the accounts have been converted to Wave 4 or not.
For mobile phone users, such as iPhone iOS-based, Android-based, Windows Mobile-based, Blackberry-based smartphone and other cell phones which support Exchange account setup, the settings for syncing Hotmail account through Exchange Active Sync is as follow:
Email: [email protected] or [email protected][B]hotmail[/B].com or [email protected]
Server Address: m.hotmail.com
SSL: Enabled
Username: [email protected] or [email protected][B]hotmail[/B].com or [email protected]
Password: password
Domain: <blank>
Note that each mobile portable devices have different settings, preferences or configuration names, but the basic information required is about the same. For example, in iPhone, go to Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars, and create a new Micorsoft Exchange account. In Android based device, go to Settings -> Accounts & Sync, and add a new corporate account.
After setting up the Exchange Hotmail account, change the “Mail Days to Sync” or “Amount to synchronize” from 1 day to other value in order to receive more emails including old one in Inbox.
If you have encountered incorrect password, unable to connect to Exchange server, unable to open connection to server, or Exchange account verification failed error message, your Hotmail account probably hasn’t have Exchange Active Sync support turned on yet.

doesn't work for me
EDIT:
it works
server: smtp.live.com
port: 587
security: TLS
I found it was easier to just make a googlemail.com account and forward my pop based mail to that.
At least then I've also got proper push email, you could probably hide your google address to show your hotmail one too, I've not looked too deep in to that one, I'm sure it can be done, you can do it in things like Outlook etc.

Thanks for the response.
I did do that (had to do that on previous versions as well) but when you click manual, it asks you what type (POP3, IMAP, or Exchange) and I click Exchange. When you click Exchange, it takes you back to the "new" Exchange setup screen I was mentioning earlier. I don't see the "old" screen I am used to.
That's my issue =)
On all previous versions of Android that I have used, I had zero problems telling Android that I was connecting to an Exchange server and putting in my Google Corporate information but using m.google.com as my Exchange server.
When I do this on my Galaxy Tab (Sprint version), it gives me an error that is is unable to connect to the server. On other devices, the username would display as "[email protected]" but on the Galaxy Tab, it displays as "\[email protected]".
I have also noticed that the Email client that the Galaxy Tab is using, looks very different than the stock froyo app.
So I have 2 questions:
1. Anyone else experience this and know of a way for me to correct?
2. Is is possible to install the "factory" android email app?
I am rooted and its a CDMA (Sprint) GT.
Thanks!

Go into Manual setup, from there you can properly enter your proper domain name and server address, and that should sort you out.
Hopefully this will be fixed in the current OTA update. Ive heard some rumors it is but haven't heard if that OTA update patches the root hole....
This probably isn't much help to you as you're on Sprint, but on my Uk Tab I couldn't get Exchange ActiveSync working with my apps for Domains accounts until I flashed a later firmware.
Domain was setup as \[email protected] and Exchange server set to m.google.com. The account would setup but no email would download or send.
When I flashed to a later firmware and tried again it all worked fine.

Just got the new update from Sprint. Didn't correct my issue. Still get the "Unable to connect to server" when trying to receive mail. My calendar is syncing but not email.
=(
Not sure how but it magically started to work. I was getting the error, changed the "Size to retrieve emails" setting from 2k to "all" and it started to pull mail.
I can't see how that's related but it was the only setting I changed.
Oh well, maybe a delayed fix with the update.
Hi guys,
I am trying to sync to 2 exchange accounts using the default mail client, but one of them is not working. It is complaining regarding authentication. The password I am using is correct but I am not having much luck.
I have tried some other email clients, it works with some and not with others.
Any ideas?
Hello. Same happened to me when I was trying to set up my company account.
Eventually I found out that there were some security checks on exchange server which were making my authentication failed. (Despite correct domain, username and password).
My company requires all employee's phones to be allowed on exchnage server in order to connect to it.
All I wanted is to have my calendar synced (no emails) and I managed to solve that by installing Google Calendar Sync on my comp. laptot (Syncing exchange calendar with gmail -> syncing with SGS2)
I'm trying to setup the phone for my wife and trying to add all of her emails.
I added her gmail account without a problem, same with her hotmail and right after I wrote email address and password it recognized it and added both without a problem.
But I'm having problem with an emial address my wife has from work, I think it's hosted on gmail but the email address is in this format [email protected] right after i enter email and password it doesn't add it automatically but rather goes to selection of pop3 or exchange or imap, and after that all the other settings like pop server and port, etc.
I checked her iphone and that's what I can find how the account was setup there....
Description - Gmail
SMTP - smtp.gmail.com
Server port - 993
Use SSL - On
Why don't you add it as a gmail / Google account?
