Alternative email apps - Exchange Sync

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!

hotmail

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

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.

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.

I have stopped using the Gmail app (got tired of the interface and such) and use K-9 mail instead. Most people don't realize that k-9 mail supports IMAP idle and so does Gmail so you still get push mail.

Tried k9 before, it was unreliable for hotmail and gmail.

Don't know where you get that from. Been using K-9 since day 1 on my Epic, with 5 different email accounts (Yahoo/AIM/Gmail/Hotmail/.Mac), 100% rock solid. Gmail and AIM use imap idle so they're next to push, the rest are set to poll every 2 hrs. Works solid.

Hotmail app/widget for android

Why is there no hotmail widget for android? The mail app/widget we have is not of much help. I can't see the folders I have created and neither does it sync properly.
After reading mails on phone, it will be unread and if I delete it here on the phone, it will still be there when I use the web version. Any solution?

Setup hotmail using Exchange, google it up.

Configure your Exchange ActiveSync or use Gmail.
The mail viewer is much better

I love Android.

Many of our clients ask us to sync their outlook and contacts with their iPad or iphone that is linked to POP email account, but all the data is in Outlook. And its been a nightmare to deal with. Can't use latest iTunes, have to use older iTunes.
With android its so much easier, simpler and it works.
I'm not bashing Apple products, I think they are good in their own way, but could be a heck of alot better.
I keep telling clients to stop using outlook and just store all the contacts and calendars in your email accounts. Yet they want all 2 or 5 pop email accounts linked to Outlook. They tell me its just easier that way to access all emails.
One of our new clients uses 4 different email providers for her home business, and all of them linked to Outlook on her PC. All contacts and calendars are stored on her pc in outlook.
After two hours of banging my head against the wall, I honestly could not sync it with her iPad and crack berry. I did get 709 contacts in to crack berry from outlook, but then client tells that contacts that were added few days ago are not there. /face palm.
Another client is having issues with yahoo email on iPhone 5, because os6.1 is...broken. Keeps throwing errors at me.
Anyways... I needed to vent, its been a long week.

I have been wondering how this works. We are able to sync our contacts and calendars to gmail and import to outlook easily. How do you do that with an apple iPhone?

Well, using a google Accout even on android it won't sync contacts. It still uses your google account (non pop) to sync contacts. At least that's how it works if I delete my google account and only add back a gmail account as a pop email account.

At work we use contacts sync pro and calendar sync both of which I think have been discontinued by google.
We can add contacts in outlook and we sync it to gmail and it shows up in our phone contacts using a yahoo pop bizmail account. Its really nice and easy. I was wondering if this was even possible on apple without using an exchange.

Well, my work uses an exchange server for my iPhone email, so I have my outlook and iPhone sync'd using that. Then I use gSyncIT from Fieldston to sync my outlook to Google so then my Android tablet and personal PC's keep their contacts and calendars in sync.
My wife on the other hand does not have the ability to sync her iPhone to her exchange server, so her outlook is exchange and then uses gSyncIT to sync her outlook to Google. Then added the Google Exchange server on her iPad an iPhone to keep it all in sync.
