[Q]How to add email to my contacts? - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

In WINMO 6.5 i was able to assign any contact in my SIM/phone to an email addy and then when i would compile a email i was able to select from the list of everyone who is assigned with an email and tick as many as i want and then email them.
Now im wondering if there is a way to do this on Droid using DFT stock desire rom or would i need to obtain a third party program to do it or it just cant be done?
Thanks in advance.
*EDIT* I figured it out, the only way was to import all of my contacts from SIM into the phone then once i was able to view the contacts from the phone i had access to more options with additional info for each contact.

Online Address Book in WM6.1

Anyone use the online address book feature of the messaging program? I want my contacts from my different email sources. I could type them into outlook but would prefer something more automatic. Open up a messaging account like Gmail then choose menu - tools - options. Then the 3rd tab is address. Try to add an address book. Thanks
I had seen some tool, can't remember name!

I think I am asking the question wrong. What I was hoping to do was to use my contacts I have on gmail or yahoo. When I type an email on my phone the only contacts I can pull up are the ones in my contacts under outlook.
Now I could copy the email accounts but the nice feature of Yahoo and Gmail (and many other email accounts) is that they will automatically add new addresses.
Now back to my original question. On our phone is a place to put a server address for an online address book. Anyone use this feature to tap into either yahoo or gmail address book?
Thanks

Hotmail Won't Automatically Send/Receive, But Other Email Accounts Will

Hey all,
I'm hoping someone out there will be able to answer this one relatively quickly. I'm running the Elegancia ROM and use the email application which is cooked into that rom - I believe it is the standard for most HD2 roms.
I have access to two of my email accounts through the program: Hotmail and Yahoo! I set up my Yahoo account quite ordinarily, by going through Add New Account and then banging in my login details. Sweet. Using this setup method, I was able to select the Send/Receive Every Five Minutes option before finishing the setup wizard. All is gravy there. The emails come like clockwork.
To get the Hotmail account to work, however, I had to install Windows LIVE for Windows Mobile. While I did this, and am able to access my Hotmail emails using this email program, the emails do not come automatically - I am forced to manually open the program and push "Send/Receive" before any come down the pipeline. For the life of me, I can't find any way to just turn on some kind of Send/Receive automation like with the Yahoo account. The "normal" way of doing this (Menu - Account Settings - and then select the email account you want to fiddle with) is a no go: the Hotmail and Outlook accounts are both greyed out, and thus not available for modification in this way.
If anyone knows how to switch this particular function I need on, please weigh in. Thanks in advance.
-D.
got a solution for you, mate.
Go to Start>E-mail>pick your email account>click menu>Tools>options>Tap on account to change setting> then change it there
really appreciate your suggestion. i think i found the windows live sync options using your guidance. no new emails yet, but i should know if it worked soon. thanks a mill for weighing in.was a seriously annoying issue.

help with exchange contacts and personal email

Hello- new to android, coming from a hd2
here is my set up:
I have a .mac account for my personal account.
I have gmail only for google voice.
I also am linked to facebook.
I use the phone mostly for work with ms exchange. I dont like the interface that samsung/2.1 offers so I am testing touchdown. So far so good.
issues/questions
I have both Touchdown and the android exchange set up so I can compare the differences. Not sure if this is recommended or not? also not sure if I should disable one or not??
1) contacts- when I am using dialer to call someone it - goes to the work fax # as default not the cell or even office #. How do I change the order for all contacts at once? I can do it individually but have 400 contacts. It doesnt give me an option to see all the #'s to chose from like in windows. Does this have something to do with the way it synced with ms exchange server's contacts?
Very annoying! any work arounds? any better way to quickly call or return a call? I typically use dialer and start dialing the persons name.
2) personal email- when I set up my .mac account it made a folder called personal email on my homescreen (great!) i mistakenly dragged it to the trash. Now when I add the email program to the Homescreen, when I open it gives mes 2 options. I want to get back my own personal email folder- any options?
3) I only use gmail to read my voicemails using google voice. Is there a way I can sync my ms exchange contacts (phone contacts) to the gmail cloud so I have them in multiple places?
Thanks in advance!

3. Export your contacts from Outlook (into CSV) and import them into GMAIL (Google has instructions on how to do it)

Thank you.
In that case you have to remove the add book link to facebook. If not it will always display the email add from facebook is automatically displayed.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
But if i do that wont that also remove the facebook mobile phone numbers too? ...
I didnt really wanna do that. I just wanted away with the email addresses in my contact list!
I'm not on the stock ROM anymore but I seem to remember there being a "Display only contacts with phone numbers" option somewhere. Just have a play around in the settings and I'm sure you'll find it.
For only show numbers in 2.1 Android:
Load people, hit menu, thenview.
As for what you are asking, I've yet to see anything.

[Q] New contact

guys
when one creates a new contact, it automatically links to two profiles by default - phone contacts and google
Is it possible to create a new contact and link it to Outlook rather so that it shows up in my corporate email address book too?
My sync for corporate email is turned on and when I create a new contact in outlook, it shows up on my phone but the reverse does not work
Thanks
