Hi I am looking into alternate email apps. I use exchange server 2007 and would like to ability to search all mail for my account on the server not just those downloaded to the handset).
I believe Active sync on WinMob does this already.
Also is there an app or a way to change the existing app to store all mail on the SD Card so I can sync my entire mailbox (sent items, sub folders etc.) and not just the inbox?
I can recommend you Touchdown for Exchange from Nitrodesk. In my opinion there isn't a better soft for using Exchange on Android.

Have you got this running on the Desire ? Can't find it on the market, only the license.
Activesync or Outlook 200-
Hi all
I'm trying this app as Iwanted to be able to access folders. Whats the best to use Activesync or exchange 2003 ?
Many thanks
Yes, it works on Desire. Paying for licence is also needed, but worth of it.
Search for "Nitrodesk" on Market and you will surely find it.
Goodluck, Michael

Also take a look at RoadSync from Datawiz. The best looking app, with the best integration.
If you're using Exchange, what exactly is the problem with the default Mail app? It syncs to Exchange, and syncs contacts, mail, and calendar.

Apparently it depending on your MS Exchange version.
We have 2003 and the default doesn't let you search the GAL. Also no ability to remotely wipe the device. I also had strange issues with sending mail either failing or being sent multiple times.
I think Nitrodesk is butt ugly.
Try MoxierMail
Looks like the default mail app so fits the theme of the phone, the widget is VERY pretty.
And unlike the default mail app like someone asked, you can sync tasks!

I have a 2007 exchange server and use Push. When using the default mail app, mail disappears from the Desire, it's still on the server and shows up in Outlook. I've lost 100's of mails at a time. It happens when a sync is in progress and you move from one data connection to another i.e. GPRS to 3G or to Wi-Fi or back again.
I've been using touchdown for about 10 days, and it's working much better - no missing mail but read and deleted mails aren't always updated, but that's better than them disappearing.
Thanks for theheads up on Moxier.. not heard of that one.
Q. which of these, TouchDown, Moxie, RoadSync handles Subfolders the best. ie i want to be notified if any email goes to any folder and not just the INBOX. ideally id like to quickly see UNREAD emails in one place (regardless of which folders they reside).
At the moment the default HTC client doesnt sync subfolders until you go into each one

I was getting annoyed by exactly the same thing! I had set up filters and labels on my Gmail account, but on my Desire I would only get notifications for mails arriving in my inbox.
I installed Touchdown the other day, and after a bit of fiddling with the settings have found that it does exactly what I/we want! It will alert at any mails that arrive (you select which folders to sync in the settings and it checks them all at) and you can set it to view all mails, regardless of the folders.
Would definitely recommend so far!
Having probem with hotmail, using web browser instead of mail client since last night the log in page when downloaded is completely blank. Been like this since last night. Have tried clearing cache and history, rebooted phone also, but still same. Anyone else had this problem?
Exactly the same here. White screen constantly
how come you're not using the mail client..??

Wierd.. I'm running rooted 024 n hotmail via dolphin browser works perfectly normal for me. looks more neater/nicer than before!!

On your phone, manually enter the website http://mobile.live.com
That should bring you to the new version of the hotmail site.
I just tried the new hotmail website using dolphin browser, nice, it allows me to dl the attachment now.

same problem here
You can now forward your hotmail to any email address. I have mine forwarded to my gmail account and use gmail to read/reply. Works awesome.
I still don't understand why you aren't all using the mail app to sync with your Hotmail account.. I do ... and it works fine.

If I use the mail app to sync my hotmail account, it can only sync every 5 minutes. With Gmail, it is almost instantaneous (like push email).
I will get my hotmail email faster via forwarding to my gmail account that having the mail app check every 5 minutes.
That is why I do it via Gmail.

But why should you have to do this?
I should be able to goto the hotmail site and view emails like
I did before.
I don't understand the need to forward my msgs to another email addy when i already ahve one...that's crazy!
There must be a solution?
Hotmail site gives me a blank page on the default browser, however! it works on opera browser

Hotmail doesn't support push notifications on mobile devices (yet) Microsoft said this should be coming by the end of the year. Can't find the link atm, but shouldnt be too hard to google

Actually, it does but only on Windows Mobile devices. I used to have push with hotmail and Exchange at the same time with Windows Mobile.

Guess its just not supported for android then
So its a known issue that hotmail active sync doesn't work on sense builds.. I found by using the stock email app not htc's you can set up hotmail using the corporate sync settings. here is the apk from vanilla android working great with my hotmail account and mdeejay desire build. just make sure the server is m.hotmail.com. check both boxes bout certificates and make sure you only add @hotmail.com to user name do not remove the /. The domain box should remain blank..

Gmail is excellent on Android. Just go into gmail and have it receive your hotmail emails too?
Gmail tells you from which email account each email is and replies from the same account that received the message. Of course as far as i know theres no Gmail widget for emails? (someone tell me if one exists, not that i search specifically for it)

Active sync is for more than just push emails though especially if you have Outlook which many do. And Gsyncit is a pay for app which active sync can do for free in one step. Also if you have lots of folders like I do on my outlook then you can't access these either.
EDIT: I have tonight discovered a solution to my problem of not being able to set up my Hotmail Exchange Active Sync. I have been trying for ages to set this up using the normal HTC email client. It kept reporting it had failed and I should try again later. So I found another email app called Improved Email and tried it with that and what do you know? It works! So now I am synced via Hotmail Exchange and my emails come instantly. In fact they arrive faster on my HD2 than on my home PC running outlook! So it begs the question why can't I set this up on the HTC email client??
Working now in the stock sense email app in EVO 3.70.651.1 Build
Just to confirm - once this is done, we can access our Hotmail via the HTC email app, or do we have to use the stock Android one?
Thanks!

Can you please explain how to get the Gmail app to use a hotmail account? I too like the Gmail app and would rather use it than "email", but when I go to add an account it goes to the "Add a Google Account" screen, with no posibility to do anything other.
Hi

All e-mail and folders and both calanders sync but not the Contacts

Help

Sorry to revive this thread but will this work on a HTC Aria? Apparently the Aria also suffers from the same bug that wont allow you to sync your phone with hotmail.
People, i want to know what do u use for Gmail account emails???
Do you use "mail" or "gmail" ???
Well,in mail you can set the synchronosation and retrival timings and frequency.
While using the "gmail" , u cannot set frequency of sync of mails.
Do suggest what is best for Gmail???

Guess it's personal taste, but I myself prefer the Gmail app, since mail notifications appear pretty much the second the mail arrives, and not on the next sync
I prefer gmail app too. There is no synch time, because gmail app have push notification.

I peter the Gmail app as well. Main reason is push notification and send as feature.

I had the same dilemma, HTC mail or gmail....
The gmail app has at least 2 important features missing:
1. There is no pinch to zoom (you can't zoom, this can be very frustrating at times).
2. There is no notification for incoming mail in labels (you only get notified for the main inbox).
For these reasons I finally decided to use k9 mail. It has much more features than the gmail app, supports push as fast if not faster than the gmail app including for labels, and zoom works as well as with HTC mail.
Mail can of course push gmail as well. When setting up an account don't choose googlemail (POP3/IMAP), but set it as Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync using details as described on http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?answer=138636&topic=14299
I know it shows how to set it up on Windows Mobile, but you just need to use the same domain etc.
It will then push email just as it arrives to your mailbox. On my DHD it always beeps earlier than notification addon installed on Google Chrome on my PC when email arrives.
I'm using Gmail with all my other emails imported into it, so I only have to check one inbox to read mail from my AOL, MSN, Hotmail, Roadrunner, and of course, Gmail itself. Very nice mail app.
I use Gmail.
Gmail. If only because I can't be bothered setting up anything else.
Gmail. It's painless.
Cheers from my DHD.

Mail (gmail push). just because i use widgets .

The problem with HTC mail is the same as with the gmail app : it doesn't push the labels; so any new mail you have set to go to a label will not get notified (for instance, I get no notification for my alias email that goes to a sub folder aka gmail label).
K9 Mail has solved this problem. It's the only free mail app so complete and it just "works" where the 2 others above fail.
Tbh, I do prefer Gmail but when I got a reply from co pilot I had to reply within their email and I couldn't because it did not allow me to edit via my phone, its a shame really as I needed to send the email whilst I was on the move, but comparing the two, I do prefer the Gmail overall. The normal email has problems syncing and sometimes brings up emails from ages ago which I had forgotten about

I use Mail to sync with my my company's exchange server, mostly for calender and contacts so I know what im meant to be doing, I wont sync my mail unless there is something specific i need.
I still use gmail app for my gmail personal account.
I have found that HTC's exchange sync app really good, other people in the company have samsung androids or stock androids and have difficulties.
I haven't found a way of getting hold of attachments in the Gmail app... You can only view attachments if it's a document type that Gmail can handle.
Hi,
I'm using the stock EMAIL app that comes on the phone (not sure if this is the stock Jelly bean app or a Samsung version). I'm using it because it works with my work's Exchange email/calendar nicely. I also have a Gmail account and my personal Email (my own website with email support) which is IMAP. The Exchange and Gmail seem to work fine. I have Exchange setup for push and I'll sometime get emails even before my desktop/Outlook see them. I don't use Gmail that much (only a couple emails a week) so I set it up to sync every 4 hours and that seems fine.
My personal IMAP account I get probably 30 email a day. I set up the program to sync every 10 minutes. It seems to just stop syncing for some reason I cant figure out. For example today, I received several emails overnight and a couple in the morning and the phone synced them fine. When I got to work and checked ~11am I had 5 messages waiting (using Thunderbird on my desktop) and when I checked the phone it didn't have them. If I go to the Inbox it says last sync was at 8:49am. The program will then do a sync and presto, all 5 messages popped up. But now all day the phone will not sync unless I go check my inbox which appears to force a sync.
So I know the information (account, password,..) are OK since it manually syncs no problem. I didn't try today but in the past if I change the sync interval to something else (5 or 15 minutes) it seems to sync for a while and then stop again. I tried deleting the account and then re-created it and that seemed to work for a while.
I have "sync while roaming set" and I do not set up a peak sync schedule so it should always be the same.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
