Hi There!
I want to configure my wife's Defy so she can get email from her gmail account.
I don't want it to be pop3, as I don't want to remove any of the messages from her gmail account, as she also gets her email via pop3 on her Desktop Outlook?
I see 2 different gmail options on her phone, is it an option to get some form of sync'd account or perhaps is Imap the only other option?
Cheers
You might have to enable IMAP in your Gmail account preferences, but you can also use POP3 and configure it to not delete the messages on the server.
Also from my experience the default mail application works better than the gmail one which is slow and doesn't always show latest messages to me.

Yah I am finding it hard to believe there isn't some form of activesync syncing option.

Hi guys
I'm wondering whether it is somehow possible to override the limitation of Activesync in WM and sync mails with more than 1 server?
I use mail-push for corporate mails, but would like of course to sync also my private mail2web - account.
what's the latest on this? sorry to revive such an old topic.
As far as I know, you'd have to use an alternative client to sync with multiple servers/
What if I want my handheld to sync to one exchange server just for email and another for contacts, calendar, and tasks?
At this time ActiveSync only supports 1 server.
mail from one exchange server, calendar/contacts from another...

Thought I would share it as i've been trying to figure out how sync my corporate email & calendar via one activesync server (company) and google contacts via another (the google server). So now I have both personal email (gmail IMAP) and work email (Exchange) and my personal contacts imported into the native contacts list.
Hope someone else finds this useful.
BTW, I also set HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\ActiveSync\EnableNonLocalCrossPollination to "1" instead of "0".
And now???
No news about multiple accounts setup?
As gmail is now provideing push access this becomes more than frustrating to be limited to one push server!!!!!!
You're too lazy MS!
Activesync does support multiple servers if you are not syncing the same items with both.
For example:
I sync my calendar and contacts with google sync and sync just my email with the company I work for.
You just have to go into the pocket outlook and create a new account as if you were creating a pop3 or imap account and then select Exchange Server. You however can NOT sync contacts or email or anything with both.

Hi as in Title can you have two outlook accounts on device?
I have my private one and work one and would like to have bought.
When I start outlook on my PC it asks me which profile to use, when I sync for first time I get the same question so I select one of them. After sync is done and I try to sync again with second one I get an error. Also as work one is exchange I tried to setup exchange account that does not work to well any help on that (it does not even have half of PC exchange account setup options).
Is there a way to setup exchange account on PC and sync those settings?
No, you cannot "sync" two Outlook (Exchange) accounts via ActiveSync at the same time. However I assume you are not using exchange on your private mail, but rather POP3 og IMAP. If so, you can set up additional email accounts on your phone. I recommend that you add an IMAP account (if your private email supports that) and set it to check for new emails regularly.

Hi at the moment I have my POP3 private account synced with outlook 2007. To be exact e-mails, notes and contacts. I want to sync my calendar and task manager with my company Exchange server. I have all details needed to setup outlook on my pc and for exchange web access.
Any ideas?
I spent way too much time trying to get this working last night, so I'm here to ask if anyone knows how I can get my gmail account setup through ActiveSync, rather than the normal gmail app.
My reasoning for this is because I want to have my mail viewable through the Mail widget - but it will only let me choose an ActiveSync account
To setup the ActiveSync account on my HTC Touch Pro I just followed Google's guide here: http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?answer=138636&topic=14299
I used the same details to setup an ActiveSync account on my Hero, and it seems to successfully connect and tell me it's synced - but none of my emails are appearing?
Any ideas anyone? Or is there perhaps a way to select my gmail account in the HTC Mail widget?
You won't get email through ActiveSync with gmail - it's for Contacts and Calendar only.
You could use IMAP or POP3 access to your gmail account, via the HTC mail app...
First, make sure you have IMAP access enabled to your gmail account: http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=77695
Then, make sure you use the "manual setup" option in the HTC Mail app, and use the info provided on this page to proceed: https://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=114408
Hi,
I am using HTC HD2. I can't send and receive email via outlook. I can receive email to my yahoo, gmail and hotmail accounts. But I can't receive and send via outlook. My email address on outlook are nameatmydomaindotcom but all use gmail servers. I have canceled email sync when synchronising, then chose again to refresh the settings, it made worse.
I would like to send email, receive email via outlook and also I would like to choose email I want send from via outlook. I could send email before canceling email sync. But it was going only from default account.
Can anyone help me please? Thanks.
As far as im aware you cant even edit the outlook accoutn settings, which is annoying as this used to work for me on older phones.
I have to send/receive via individually setup accounts, and then re-receive them to outlook on my PC and sync then over.
I have about 4 differen temail accounts, so this is the only way it works for me.
Thanks for reply. Sorry but, I am not good at using technology. Would you please tell me step by step? And at the end of this, will I be able to send receive via outlook on my phone? Or I will need to sync always. Thanks
no, as far as i'm aware you cant add an account for outlook on the phone, you will still have to sync

But I also use outlook on my pc. Does this affect my outlook on pc to divert outlook emails to gmail? If it is just for phone, it is okay. Otherwise it will be confusing for me.
correct they both a using same settings.
Thanks.
I have tried to do it. But on the screen of my phone, "active sync" screen, i cant see any "edit server settings". there are just "sync" and "menu" on the bottom. and everything in "menu" is closed, i can't choose any of them. What shall i do now?
Hi Guys,
I have a few email accounts setup on my phone, mostly Gmail, all with the same settings and setup with IMAP. Somehow most of the accounts work fine, but two of them seem to function more like a POP3 account. If I delete or mark the email as read from my phone, the change will update on the server and my computer. If I go the other way though and read or delete from my computer, the change will not reflect on my phone. Because of this most of my accounts show only a few unread emails, and two of them show 50 unread. Has anyone had a similar issue, and are there any thoughts to solve this?
I've tried deleting and adding the account again on my phone, and going through all the settings Gmail on working and nonworking accounts to compare. I'm using the stock email app on the Alliance KK Rom. Thanks,
Nila
