[Q] Email w/o Exchange security policy Froyo - Motorola Droid and Milestone Themes and Apps

Hi All,
I hope you can help me with that irritant security policy of exchange. I tried the search and found a lot of things but lots of it is old and other stuff is for other phones.
I read something about autostarts but that doesnt work with 2.2.2 and also there are email.apk installs.
Can you please help me with this?
thnx!

Also K-9 has no calendar option.....

Original Android 2.1 Email Client

For those interested in original client available in "pure" Android 2.1 - here it is!
For me it's much more better than the HTC's one.
PS. God give us root to get rid of all that crappy HTC bloatware
What are the advantages of the original email app over HTC's version?
I like its look and feel,htc's one is too glossy.The same applies to music app.
Just try it yourself,it can be installed in parallel with htc one.

Is there anyway to get the app to delete the original emails off the server?
THANKS!!! it is awsome! Finnaly my emailsending works accross IMAP and TLS. With built in HTC email client it not works.
Np
As for deleting emails - don't know if you're talking about pop or imap. In imap you have to delete mail from trash to get rid of them.
Didn't tested this app with pop3, so don't know if tere is an option to "delete from server after download". But I think that there could be no such option to prevent user from mistakes.
But .... it's source is available via source.android.com... and it can be tuned, or feature can be requested.
Thanks, sorted my mail sending across SSL.
The stock HTC mail app is eating up the memory. After 3 days, I had 30 MB of mail data, and erasing all Accounts did not helped. The 30 MB was still there, so I had to make a Factory Reset. Thanks for this app!!
Thanks for this.
Does this app allow searching of emails, in particular Exchange?
I noticed, or haven't found, the search feature for the HTC Mail app :/
This works great on Legend, nice to see a bit of stock Eclair.

I would love to have this feature! I understand WinMob does this on exchange 2007...
I think I overlooked the obvious, pressing the search button!
Didn't give me results for my search, going to look into the number of emails the phone has access to, either copied to phone or on the server. I suspect the string I searched for was too far in the past.
[edit] Shame, only searches sender names and subject line :/
So, i installed this on my incredible and configured it to work with my office exchange account... set it up as push, and it never updated... went into the sync settings and it was in there, but was showing that it wasn't set to auto sync and i couldn't get it to sync from there.. originally when i first set it up, it was able to connect and download my past emails, but nothing after that.. I know i'm in the desire section of the site, so it may just be that ti's not gunna work on my Incredible right now, but i was wondering if root is required to use this?

don't know if i understood you correctly but i can search my exchange 2007 mail from my phone...
just open htc mail app and than press the hardware search button...type what you want to search and that's it...
thanks alot, this is so much better than sense's version, actually so much stock android 2.2 stuff is better than sense i'm thinking of rooting for 2.2
This force closes when I have an email with an attachment in my inbox, really annoying.
Does it require root?
Does this application require root access or can I install it even if the phone is unrooted? Another question -- Does this get me the combined inbox?

Lockpicker for Exchange on Froyo vanilla

i have just set up an exchange email on my hero, however my company policy requires pin setup compulsory on my set.
I used to have lockpicker on my 2.1 but seems like that doesnt work on vanilla, is there another software that you guys can recommend?
TIA!!!
All Androids that our company supports install Touchdown.
It is a paid app but once we started using it we have no more issues with PIN issues.
Sync's everything including tasks which the stock app does not do.
Thank you.

Does anyone know if lockpicker will be updated to support 2.2 or if another app is out that has the same features? I tried emailing the dev for lockpicker but he has gotten back to me about supporting 2.2. HTC droid incredible on froyo w/sense.
figured no point in starting new thread to ask the same question (i dont want to use touchdown)
Thanks
NM found this post xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7182615&postcount=88
I guess lockpicker or other same type of app won't be available for a little while
Check the thread in my signature. I have written an app which strips out the relevant parts of code in the stock email apk and the sense mail apk on froyo.

[Q] Exchange Syncing

has anyone found a way to sync the droid to exchange???? and better yet without a password. We could sync with version 2.1 but since upgrading to 2.2 we can no longer sync to the server
I use it with my work email .... My company is on Exchange 2003. Never had any problems with 2.1 or 2.2. Calendar, Global Address Book and Email all work perfectly. (I don't sync contacts as I use my Gmail contacts.)
i am able to sync to exchange with both touchdown and the preinstalled apps no problem.
+1
Never had an issue with corporate sync or touchdown
It's hard to beleive no one is here or ppcg uses a 2010 exchange.
Yes Sapo! I too am having problems with corp sync. Its all over the Droid forums.
The problem is primeraly with domains having more then 3 letters after the dot. Yes the old 2000 2003 and some 2007 exchanges work.
But its hit or miss...
In our case, we have a .info and no one at Moto, thought people would use 2010 exchanges.
Moto said they are working on it and offer the pos touchdown licence as a temp fix. Problem with td is it does not integrate with phone. It is stand alone. Contacts are exclusively on its UI it sucks!
SOLVED!
If anyone is having exchange problems, your probably on a 2010 or 2007sr2.
Try using the numeric server address. But only in last question or box.

I'm trying to help a friend out with this problem as I have an Evo.
What's the easiest way to get the numerical address as you say?
This really is silly...they should have considered this long ago.
thank for any help you can give...
It's more than that unfortunately. Verizon is apparently aware of this issue with blur email. Stock froyo mail doesn't have this issue. Maybe fixed in the next OTA.

Epic email issues?

Forgive me if this topic has been raised before -- I searched and didn't see anything.
I am seeing two issues with my Epic relating to e-mail I haven't seen raised.
1. Generic e-mail client doesn't sync reliably. It ran reliably for a day or two, but has stopped polling, and now the only way I can get the accounts in it to update is to go into the client and open them.
2. I cannot seem to get more than 2 gmail accounts added to the gmail client. I have three google accounts, and I had to set up my third one in the generic client after repeated attempts to add it to the gmail client resulted in server connection fails.
Anyone else seeing this? Is it possible I have a defective phone or something I did during the course of rooting (noobnl's one-click v 2.2.9) broke some functionality? Is it possible that the service responsible for the client's polling activity got broken?
Thanks in advance.
My email has been updating automatically fine. I've only had my Epic for a little over two weeks, though. I don't have multiple Gmail accounts so can't say. Also, I'm not rooted yet ( I've been waiting for the 2.2 upgrade). I'm not crazy about everything in the generic client but it does seem to work very well.
I thought I was having the same issue as OP, but I found that I guess I accidentally switched automatic updates off in the settings.
I have had my Epic since it launched and yes this has been an issue for me. I thought maybe I had something set wrong but I don't. I actually check my Yahoo acct through the browser now. It doesn't really bother me to much though so I deal with it. Facebook for Android is the same way usually too.

This is a common issue if you search around.
I've given up on the stock email app and just use K9 mail. Works perfectly. Has a few more options than the stock app too, although like a lot of open-source apps, maybe too many. I still haven't gotten all the fonts to look the way I want. But it's functional and doesn't give me any problems with syncing. An email app that won't tell me when I have new email is useless to me, and the stock app would only do that for maybe a day unless I rebooted. K9 always notifies me of email immediately.
I'm having a problem of my own. I just tried to send an attachment in the stock email app but I get a FC when I hit attach. In the gmail app however it works, gives me the option of gallery or astro. Could the FC in the email app occuring because I uninstalled the myfiles app and it defaults to it?

Exactly the same problem. Stock email client works for a while then just quits.
But anyway, thanks for the tip re K-9 mail. Just installed it and will give it a try. It is indeed considerably more complimicated and will probably take some fiddling to get everything the way I want it, but that's OK -- I guess if I wanted simple but uncofigurable functionality I'd have a feature phone or an iPhone.
Seems like the FB app does the same thing. Anyone have a suggestion for a good 3d-party FB client?
Oh, and does anyone else have more than 2 accounts in gmail?
reboot will fix it for a short period
same problem here... worked for two weeks and now only syncs if manually. Rebooting the phone gets it going again... for a few more days and then it will no longer sync again!

FB sync with contacts [ICS ROM]

Hi!
first of all i´m new here, but used the "search"... couldn´t find anything.
I´m running teamhacksung´s ICS on i9000.
is there a way i can sync my contacts with facebook? i mean no 3rd party app. i found a script in the nexus s forum, but couldn´t really use that.
regards
Malte
got the same problem and the i found that it is a problem in ics and the best way is a 3rd party app
I'm also searching for an "native" way, but only way i know it's using FriendCaster or HaxSync
Searching on the net some days ago, I found a working method,described here in xda forums (though I don't remember which one). Basically a dev recompiled the GoogleSyncFramework.apk (or wether it's named) to sync with facebook
Have you tried the app that lets you sync with Facebook Some google magic will certainly help you
"HIT THANKS IF I HELPED YOU"
Yeah currently i'm using friendcaster.
I don't like to have different apps for differen't functions, so i'm still looking Form a way Tor geht it into ICS
Regards
Too bad that google just did not implemented it in ICS.. Also too bad that facebook wasn't going to allow adjustments of the contacts via android contacts apk..
at least i thought that this was the problem...
