Blackberry connect for HTC Desire

Does anyone know an application to connect to BES (like BB connect) for the HTC desire?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=666635

Hi, thanks for the quick reply, however the link you gave refers to Blackberry Messenger. I'm looking for the e-mail program (connect to my Blackberry Enterprise Server), available today for HTC phones running WindowsMobile, the name is: Blackberry Connect. Wondering if this is available for Android2.1.

can someone help?

why bother with blackberry connect? just connect directly to your exchange server.

we talk about a big company, where the IT policy allows only blackberry connections....

I was using BB Connect until yesterday when I switched from WinMo to Android on my new Desire. What a fantastic phone it is!
Today, there is not a BB Connect for Android.
I got around this by having our IT Admin folks enable my profile on our webmail system to have it push to my Desire. Works perfectly.
If your company allows you to use Webmail e.g. in your browser you enter webmail.<your coy name>.com then you can probably get your mail ok.
Hope this helps - good luck.

can you elaborate on the settings. I can access my work email via owa so how do I get them pushed to phone. I don't want to use the seven application.

Here are the settings for the mail client on your phone:
Email address: <your email address at your company>
Server Address: for my coy it is "webmail.<coy name>.com
Domain: <coy name.com>
Username: <the name you use when logging in to your webmail server>
Password: <the same password you use for webmail>
You also need to get this "enabled" on the email server side. I don't know how it's done but my folks did it very quickly. Probably just a check box or something similar.

If you can already access your email via webmail (OWA) then the setting is already enabled or rather there is nothing left to do. In the mail app set up an exchange activesync account with username, password, and the owa address and the software will do the rest. If you want push email and proper gal browsing then you need to look at apps such as touchdown, Moxier mail, or k9. Currently trialling touchdown which is working like a treat thus far...

thanks works a treat. I was not aware that you could do that with owa.

Yeah - so easy when you think about it. At my workplace people were saying it was impossible to get work email on the phones unless you had a Blackberry. Considering we didn't have a BES and only Exchange that didn't make sense to me.
After mucking around with ISA server etc. I realised what the BB users were doing - a classic 'D'OH!!!' moment. After that it was plain sailing...

You sure his company exchange all set up ok? Make sure you are using SSL and that SSL certificates are installed correctly on the server. The sever to connect to is the same as your OWA server minus the https:// like mine for example is owa.domain.com

Mail Exchange
Hi,
had the same issue on my Galaxy running on Froyo JP6 with Exchange 2010 SP1.
It was a problem with security certificates. Fixed it by exchanging the email.apk.
Google for: laur.ie Fixing Android 2.2 Sync after Upgrading to Exchange 2010 SP1
(as I am not yet allowed to post external links)
Best regards

An issue I had that confused me for ages with the exchange account was that I had forgotten to use my Exchange windows username to login, which was different to my email address alias.
So used to logging in everywhere with email addresses these days.

Hi,
Is he using an Internet access APN or an internal company one(with no access to internet). If this is the case first try to conect using the internet APN and after you get no resposne from the server try with the Intranet APN. It should work. This was the problem in my case.

Hotmail and push with Android 2.1

I've an HTC Hero with the 2.1 not rooted.
I tryed to use the mail from HTC to configure hotmail with push but doesn't work.
I also tried k-9 mail with the same result.
There is a way to make hotmail working with push?.

no solution available for this problem?

I couldn't get it to work reliably either. Worked at first but then stopped and couldn't rely on it. My solution was to send all hotmail to gmail and use it from there, to be honest once I got used to it I wish I'd done it sooner : )
Sent from my HTC Hero using XDA App

I use hotmail on my 2.2 hero and it works fine. You have to set it up as an exchange activesync account.
Username: your email ad
Password: your password
Server: m.hotmail.com
Make sure the 'accept all ssl certificates' is checked and use secure ssl.
Thats what works for me!

It's not working for me as well.

It doesn't seem to work on the HTC Mail client for some reason.
What you need to do is download and install the Stock Google Mail client for 2.1 and set up your Push Hotmail on there and use that as appose to the HTC one. I've got it working on mine and it's full Push mail
You can get the Stock Mail client from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=668043
You'll need to:
- go into Manual Setup
- ActiveSync
- Username: full email address
- Password: you password
- Server: m.hotmail.com
- 'Use Secure Connection (SSL)' is ticked
- 'Accept all SSL certificates' leave it unticked.

This is a good application, configured and work on Push mail. But I uninstalled it because I already have two clients, one "Google Mail " and the other HTC default client. Now I'm using 3 accounts, hotmail,gmail and my office mail on the default client. And it is connected to the mail widget on home screen.
Is it possible to remove default / pre installed Google Mail client. I no more need it. It's just an overhead.
Thanks

How to get Push Email on Galaxy Tab

for those who have been having the issue of getting push email on your Galaxy Tab
here is the ease way to get this work
**** this may require that you delete your email account and reinstall it !!
step.1) after you have entered your email Addy and your password.
Step.2) Choose manual setup you will see the tab for exchange choose it .
step 3) the only thing you have to change is the server address it should
m.google.com

*** it should work ****

I thought if uses gmail, it suppose to push already?
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App

Awesome!
I wanted to use Samsung native email(looks better on sgt) rather than gmail native apple, but the lack of push was the big down for me.
now I can use sgt native apple with push function. Thanks a lot. U r the man!
I tried the other method before, but it was too trick and i had to use my existing exchange account..
This method is very easy and simple+ works like a charm!
Ps . I had to play some time to iron the calendar stuffs though.

Good tip but posted in wrong section maybe? Galaxy Tab General is probably a better place for this I think, as it keeps the dev section clean.

Gmail is push only when it goes through exchange server client.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App

mine says unable to connect to server
when choosing exchane instead of pop3, what should i put into domain/username?
lets say my email is [email protected]
should it be \geez or geez or [email protected] or what?
thanks before

K9 does IMAP push.

alright this is what you should do when you choose the manual setting leave eveything alone except the server name it should say m.google.com
thats it and you are done

Sorry, that is wrong! The native Gmail app is push. You only need to use exchange activesync for apps other than the Gmail app.

Dave

Thanks Dave! I am glad you cleared that up.
And just to reiterate yes, the native Gmail app USES push. Not sure what is gained by using the Microsofts Exchange Protocol vs. what is available by default; seem like the original poster may have not realized that he was taking the long way to do the same thing that's offered natively by the Gmail app. Moreover, one could argue that the mail app has less features than the Gmail app, i.e. priority inbox, searching, etc...

what about configuring other kind of emails (non google ones) and get push for them?

if you want to get hotmail and live.com push follow this:
server: m.hotmail.com
username: [email protected](msn.com,live.com)
password: ********
domain: empty
email: [email protected](and so on)

Actually my email provider is LIBERO...
K9 seems to have built in push capabilities...but the stock mail app in the GT is gorgeous!
Or...is there any way to split the page, in K9 mail app, into list email and selected email preview in landscape mode as the stock mail app does?

Does LIBERO provide a push email service?
If so, what "type" of push?
The stock apps allows for Exchange ActiveSync, and IMAP IDLE (which is pseudo push).

Yahoo Mail as IMAP/POP3 won't work?

Can't get Yahoo Mail to work as imap/pop3 on Galaxy S3. It appears Yahoo is forcing people to use the Yahoo Mail app. If you want to access Yahoo mail as imap/pop3 instead of using the Yahoo Mail App, then they are charing $19.99 a year for "Yahoo! Mail Plus" to grant pop3 access.
I tried the following imap settings:
Server
imap.mail.yahoo.com
Port
143
Also tried pop settings, no luck.
Doesn't work, won't connect to Yahoo servers. Does anyone know a solution? I have a feeling they really want you to upgrade to Yahoo! Mail Plus, but then again it still works on a Blackberry without upgrading.
I'm confused. Any solutions?

Yahoo on imap works for me with the following settings.
Incoming
IMAP server - imap.mail.yahoo.com
Security type - None
Port 143
Outgoing
SMTP server - smpt.mail.yahoo.com
Security type - None
Port 587

Only if you have their paid service can you get push email. The only reason gmail is push is because thats the way they designed the app and syncing.

Got it, I figured you needed the paid service. But something that perplexes me....Yahoo push email works on Blackberry devices without needing to pay for the upgraded Yahoo Mail Plus.
hmmmm
