Hi All,
I'm currently running DESIRE HD V14*GINGER 2.3.4_Sense&HoneyComB by boyppc: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1062881 (first post), but I can't seem to get my job's Exchange account added. I've tried the stock Mail app, and I've also tried the trial version of Touchdown (Exchange for Android 2.x), but to no avail.
Previously, I was running a FroYo ROM by darkstone, but I couldn't get my exchange account synchronized then, either.
I don't think it's a setting on the server here, because I spoke to the server admin, and they were working with me to get it synchronized, but no matter what setting they changed, it still wouldn't work.
I've seen some chatter around the forum about using a different Email.apk, and things like that, but I'm not sure if that even really applies to my situation, or if there's something else that I could do to try to get it working.
Any help? Please??

Not sure what ROM version or anything, but I'm using wm6.1 on my Mogul
All I know is that I had my phone replaced recently, as my old one was getting pretty beat up. I finally got the phone up to par with my old one in terms of setup except for e-mails. So I go to setup my Gmail account on the phone, and no matter what I try, I keep getting an error message about loging into the server, how I have the wrong login name or password. How is this possible? What am I doing wrong?
I've tried using the automatic setup (worked on the last phone), manual setup with POP3 and IMAP, even using a new password for Gmail. Nothing works at all. Please help!
Earlier today I decided to try out an alternative version of Email.apk, so I backed up the original version of that file, installed the newer version...which proceeded to FC...and then rebooted and restored the original version. Now I can't seem to access information on my corporate Exchange server which was my only account in Email (I also have a Gmail account, but I use the Gmail app for that).
I've tried clearing settings for Email, Calendar (and storage), Contacts (and storage), and Google Services Framework, deleting and recreating the account repeatedly, rebooting after each attempt, etc., but still no luck. Basically it lets me add the account after successfully connecting to the Exchange server, but then it doesn't download email and it doesn't see any calendars or contacts. I know the problem isn't with the Exchange server because all of my other clients (Outlook, OWA, iPhone, etc.) still work fine.
It seems as if there's some kind of cruft floating around from before that's not quite enough to allow Email to work properly, but enough to keep it from properly recreating the account. Is there a particular app database I need to clear/flush in order to recreate this account?
Thanks much for any help!!!
A little research led me to this issue with Android 2.3.3 that seems to be similar if not the same:
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=15356
Looks like it's been fixed in 2.3.4. Assuming that the patch in the middle of that thread is the actual fix, it doesn't look like it should be that hard to integrate into CM7, though I've never done a build of Android/CM7 so I don't know enough to comment. Any thoughts?
So I setup my school's email account on my phone, and it will work for a day or two, and then it doesn't seem to sync. I have it set to push automatically and to keep it synced for about a week. Before installing Cyanogen mod, I had no problems with it that I can recall, but now I am experiencing a few with that. I am not complaining about the mod, it's great. I was wondering if anyone had a similar problem or maybe a suggestion to fix.
Thanks!
I had no problems setting mine up. My schools email is through Windows Live and I set mine up as Exchange using m.outlook.com as the server.
Has anyone had any issues with Exchange emails after the update. The old email client worked with no issues. Once I updated I must refresh manually to get emails. Everything is set to push - same way it was before. I've tried a reset on the tablet. Deleting and recreating the account and still have the issue. Tried with and without SSL and still same thing. Honestly I liked the older version better than this one.
I have had the same problem, actually. I saw that it was also complaining about the security policy, so I deleted and re-added the account. I did this last night, so I don't know if it's fixed the issue. (My tablet isn't with me.)

I had to delete the account and readd it to now everything seems fine.
I have had no problems with the update, works just fine.
Same issues here. It seems to update when it wants even though its set to push. I have deleted and readded acct which didn't help. Gave up and went back to touchdown which I was using previously.
Sent from my gtab 10.1 with wiz.
Similar problem here - it's constantly refreshing the whole inbox and then displays no e-mails at all.
After about 5 min., e-mails are back - but 5 min. later, all are gone again and the resync process starts.
Tried to delete and re-enter the account a number of times, no change.
Seems, the implementation is choking on my 1800+ inbox subfolders...
Touchdown HD works flawlessly!
Any ideas regarding that?
Best regards,
Klaas.
The Exchange connection is buggy. I've tried it on the Xoom, the original issue Tab and the TouchWiz Tab. Lots of problems.
I didn't want to use Touchdown but since the native email app isn't working that's what I've been doing. Touchdown works good, it's just that the interface isn't nearly as polished as the native email app.

Agreed, I havent used moxier mail personally but it is another alternative as well. https://market.android.com/details?id=com.moxier.mail.tablet.trial
There is the issue with the different versions of exchange.
I think my firm is on exchange 2010 and my email syncs fine without an issue

But does your email widget update properly if your tab is not touched for a few hours but connected to wifi?

I tried Moxier and the workflow isn't as good as Touchdown.
Mine is working now. Not sure what did it. I removed the weather and time widgets from my home screen (use beautiful widgets now) and for some strange reason when I went back into the market (it had been set up and used previously) it asked again which gmail account to use. Try going into the sync settings and confirm all entries for Google account or recreate google account and see if it works. Not sure why it would affect Exchange emails but now it is working.
hello friends,
maybe someone of you is able to help, or at least enlighten me about the cause of this:
since i use ICS on my note (about for 2 weeks, starting with stunner) i have REALLY BIG problems with one of my exchange accounts, the one which is running on a hosted exchange 2007 (second account with my corporate exchange 2010 is fine)! so until today i hoped that the "official ICS" for the note won't show this behavior, but now with a total clean install of the today released LPY and therefore OFFICIAL SAMSUNG ICS rom, the problem persists!
description:
95 out of 100 trys to connect to my exchange account fails with a message telling me that there is a security error (if needed i can provide some screenshots) telling me that either my username and/or password is incorrect! this makes it almost impossible even to simply add the account. and, on the rare occasions (which SOMETIMES can be triggered through a connection change between wifi and 3g) when the phone is able to connect (and sync), it stops after a few minutes again with the same error.
i re-added the account numerous times, tried everything which came through my mind (change password, enabled and disabled sec features) and trust me, i know what i'm doing here. i configure exchange accounts since almost 10 years from now!
clues:
there are a few tickets existing on http://code.google.com/p/android regarding this issue, but with different "flavours":
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=16992
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=19366
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=25315
to sum it up:
google developers are recognizing the problem (it seems to exist since android 3+ to some extent) but are unable to provide a solution until now. it seems to be a problem with an EAS policy refresh, which fails and therefore closes (or does not even open) the connection! a guy suggested to disable these policy refresh in the EX2007 config, but this would only be possible if you are the admin of this server (and i doubt that it would make sense, security-wise, too)!
another theory says this mess is due to implementation errors in the connection layer, which directly affects wifi and 3g connection behavior...
i guess that this problem would now get's more imminent, as this security error wasn't occurring at gingerbread. and now more and more people with smartphones will migrate to ICS!
what do you think?
does anybody else experience this? or am i one of the few unlucky bastards?
regards,
markus
so, is exchange 2007 working for everyone?
this would be important to know for me, because in this case i would have
to blame my exchange provider for wrong EAS settings!
can a few people with an exchange 2007 account confirm that their sync work flawlessly? anyone please?
Just realized my exchange account is not syncing unless I open the client.
My work is running exchange 2003
Never had this issue with imilka ROM weird

This seems to be the case on all TW based roms, no matter if GB or ICS at least for me. It syncs fine with Hotmail service but not with my company's 2003 server so there has to be some incompatibility there. When disabling all syncs and re-enabling them it started syncing. Just had to wait for about 30 minutes to get all info synced.
E: On AOSP based (CM9, AOKP) everything works as it should right from the beginning without the extra hassle.
I'm working properly in Galaxy Note, from KKA to LPY, with Exchange 2007 SP3.
Syncing is correct in my case.
Samsungs version of ICS (or Gingerbread) doesn't communicate with Lotus Notes traveler active sync. Cyanogen 9 (ICS) is working out of the box. In Gingerbread the Traveler App is working but in Samsungs version of ICS the widgets dont work.
after fiddling around this WE i think there would be no other solution as reverting back to GB (which would suck, and therefore is no real option), or to change to a hoster with exchange 2010!
every client i tried shows the same behavior, if i'm able to establish a connection it won't last long till the security error reappears! this renders my account almost useless...
i will update this post if something changes!
