This may be an Android or sense thing, but where on my work calendar (Exchange Server) I have a repeating event that is weekdays only, on my phone it is showing at the weekends as well? (Only on my phone).
Anyway of stopping this or is it an android limitation - I canot find anywhere on the phone to set the recurrence options.
Cheers

I have noticed similar problems with my exchange calendar (using touchdown cause our IT guy sucks..) and when I deleted the ones on the weekend (on the phone) once it removed them in the future.... maybe this will work for you.

I'd like to know about other people's experiences with CM6 and Exchange. With the stock email app, I have noticed at times that at times it would start using a lot of cpu, and stop receiving emails. I did have "all email" sync, but these issues would happen randomly after all of my mailbox was downloaded; could this have anything to do with it? I would have to reboot my phone for email to start working again. After reading about people's experience in the CM6 thread I thought it might be appropriate to have an altogether separate thread. I did notice some users having similar issues, and that TouchDown is a good alternative.
So about 2 weeks ago, I started trying it. Problem is, when I go to add a contact (discovered this by long pressing a number to create a contact), it will let me create a "TouchDown contact", but only with names. I contacted touchdown support and they said that no other applications can have access to TouchDown data for "security". I did put in a feature request for an optional contacts integration, because my Aria is a work phone, and every contact I add I *need* synced. I did think about adding contacts to Google account, and then installing Google/Outlook sync on my work pc, but this seems too convoluted.
Has CM6 exchange improved in any of the nightly builds? If I choose to go back to the stock email app, is there any way that if I run into these issues again I can provide debugging information? The only thing I really liked about TouchDown was the search email feature, but this is in no way a feature request for the stock email app. xD
Why not ask in the cm6 thread instead of starting a new one?
I've been using stock exchange mail client since the beginning of CM6 on aria, haven't ran into any major issues with it. The only problem I have with it is that sometimes the deleted email on aria still show up on desktop outlook.

Just wanted to add that stock client does stop getting emails ( very rarely for me), instead of rebooting, I just forse close the app and restart it again.

For adding/syncing contacts (using touchdown for email) I added the exchange account (under stock email settings) and set it to never check mail, but still sync contacts and calendar. I am going to see if this combination with touchdown works, as the email app is required to run if syncing exchange contacts is to work at all. I hope don't run into the process hanging without email actually syncing. I'm still waiting this trial out to see if touchdown is worth it; they did add a new feature that shows the number of new emails in the notification icon (I don't recall if this is in the stock email app).
I'm coming from a blackberry to android.
I had a Nexus One for leisure purposes and it got me hoocked to Android.
Now I'm giving up on the blackberry for a Desire HD and I still cannot figure a way to replace the awesome email service from my old blackberry.
Downsides I'm facing:
-battery drainage;
-difficult or multi step configurations;
-delays receiving email notifications, when compared to the immediate blackberry delivery.
I'm looking for solutions.
Tried K9 and other email apps and the native app, but it seems that Android is still struggling to get multiple accounts working efficiently at the same time, specially business oriented.
Any tips?
It should I just stick to blackberry for email solutions?
Tks folks.

I switched from BB as well. For my work email/calendar/contacts. I use Touchdown. Easy to set up exchange and does pretty much everything I need. The only issues I have are related to recurring events and contacts sorting. TD also works very well with Pure Calendar Widget. Of course BB is the email king for business use, but this setup is not bad either.

I'm using K9 with multiple accounts, setup as push and I always get my mails delivered instantly.
For me it works perfectly, what problems do you have?
Also +1 for Touchdown. All of the people I know coming from Blackberry find it to be a good replacement.
Thanks guys.
I have one gmail, one yahoo and one corporate email.
When having my blackberry and the DHD side by side, the difference on receiving emails is enormous. It's taking more then two minutes to get it on my DHD. Blackberry is instant.
Battery drainage is also a problem since I have to keep fetching ans polling emails.
Perhaps I'm doing something wrong. Any further insights?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Yep, never set K9 to do any fetching or polling.
Only use push, this way the mail sever will push the mail to you as soon as it arrives. It will be instant and it also won't drain your battery.
Edit: in account preferences, set verification frequency to "never".
And enable push.
Anyone using yahoo?
Does it work with push?

The email side of things is making me want to go back to my iphone. Never had this kind of annoying, unreliable service with my 3gs iphone.
Installed stock froyo app as the htc mail app doesnt work with push hotmail, that is flaky at best, sometimes mail doesnt even arrive even tho it says theres mail there and doesnt work with html.
I think its awful that it cant even work with probably the biggest email domain on the net.
Hotmail is at best reciving junk mail, desire hd works pretty well for my gmail. Sorry the MSN lovers.

hi,i've got two android devices (HTC Desire and ACer A500) and i've noticed that the calender events (especially the ones already synced to the account before this bizzare issue) on my google account on both devices can't be edited. Each time I select an event from the calender app or agenda widget, it displays the following:
* The event name,date,time, the account name and reminder (Those are usually there before the said issue).
Then the new details after i noticed this issue are as follows:
* Attendee (which i've never encountered before)
* Attending? (Which is an icon asking if someone will be attending the event or not).
This is very frustrating cos as of yesterday, i was able to edit events on the google account's calender without issue. Though, if i enter new events onto the account,those new ones are allowed to be changed. I've tried everything on both devices as well as signing into my account on my PC in order to trace the problem's origin through the calender settings but to no avail.
All i did before this problem started was edit a few details on my google account such as billing address and method of payment. Could this two result in calendar events disruption? Thanks,your assistance would be really appreciated.
I have the same issue with my Exchange 2007 account. I ended up having to go back to sense on my evo to get that ability back. I will report back if I figure something out.

Hi, I have my google calendar all set up ok, and it has an event every day. It syncs fine with my galaxy s2, but when it syncs with my TF, only some events are synced?! It seems completely random.
How can I get all events synced properly? Anyone come across anything like this before?
Cheers.

I have the same issue. I would also like it Facebook would sync with it too.

I have more or less the same problem. I have synced events one month back from today and all events to the future, but I am not able to synchronize the events older than one +-month which were in google calendar (web interface) before synchronizing. If I try to create new event, but on the date older than one month (for example 5.5.2011) on web (sync to Transformer) even on Transformer (sync to web) everything is ok, but if there is another event with the new one, I see synced only new one. Really weird
i had the same problem. In my case it was an issue with recurrence (google does not support some patterns that outlook does for example: repeat on the last sunday of the month). Changing this solved sync issues. I read also that any other unsupported field will prevent sync - so keep it simple. Hope this helps. Irek
Anyone have problems with mail syncing?
It seems to have stopped working and only syncs when I go in the app.

I don't have book and changing calendar has not made a difference. Also noticed that it happens on TI backup now. Not sure if it is related
I've even done factory a reset and nothing has changed. No idea why!
must be a way to get this going again...can't clear data in the app section which is odd
I have this with my school e-mail since they installed exchange server 2010. To fix it (temporarily), you have to clear all the categories on all the events in your calendar (via outlook, thunderbird or web-based) and then re-apply them.
Note: it is temporary because every so many weeks, the issue reappears.
Yep. Same here. Noticed it a few weeks ago and thought it was just me. Had a major clearout on the phone (new SD card, hard reset, etc. etc.) and it's still a problem.
So it's standard HTC ROM (2.3.3) and I'm syncing with MS Exchange. As the OP says, there is no sync unless I open the app, irrespective of changes made to the scheduling. For what it's worth it's currently set to sync every 10 mins Mon-Fri 9.00 until 18.00 and then every hour off-peak.
