I've a strange e-mail prob's. I've set up my e-mail accounts (2 of them) in Outlook on my XDA Neo and they worked fine untill next soft reset. When I opened Outlook after reset there weren't any of them, just "SMS/MMS", "Outlook E-mail" and "New E-mail Account" functions. I thought fine, so I tried to set up my accounts again and it gave me a warning that that name i used for e-mail account name is already assigned to another account but i cant find it. So I used another name for acc. And everything that i described happened again and i lost that accs too. Is there any way to fix that? Or just another simillar email app? :S
I used the search function but i haven't find anyone, who had the same problem as I have.
ahhh.. forget it. I found helpfull link about pdaviets rom and advices works for me. i just used email accounts repair tool.

Hi,
I have searched the site and found nothing that covers my question. The problem I have is that I tryed to set another email account up, it follows the normal procedure perfectly, as if it was setting the new account up. Then when completed I go into accounts and all I see is SMS and Activsync. The new account is not there and when I try to set it up again it states that the name is already in use. One other factor to consider is that I just upgraded from WM2002 to WM2003. I dont really want to downgrade or change my operating system as I have just got my XDA set up perfectly.
Rom version: 4.00.11 ENG
Radio version: 4.21.00
Hope you can help me out with this problem as I am starting to pull my hair out.
Regards,
Chris
Been there seen that, try doing a soft reset and then recreate the accounts. BTW we're talking POP3 email and not Hotmail, right?
HTH
Its actually POP3 and Hotmail. I bought the hotmail add-on from pocketgear, which allows the normal inbox to download messages. This worked brilliantly on wm2002
Just another bit of information, I've soft reset the machine and it still comes up with "That name is already assigned to another account. Enter a unique name and try again". But the only account I can see is SMS, this is really weird.

Yeap like I said been there seen that and I'm sorry to say that Pocket Hotmail 2.0 is not compatible with WM2003.
If I remember correctly to fix your POP3 problem now you must remove Pocket Hotmail 2.0 and then do a soft reset. If that fails your next course
is a hard reset unless you have a SD backup without Pocket Hotmail 2.0.

Oh yea I forgot to mention that OneMail will be in beta starting Wed. 10/22/03 maybe if its not to late you can try to get on the team.

Hi there
I have been using Korand wm6.1 v3.1 for couple weeks. It is quite stable and fast until toninght.....

Then i went to its option to check everything. When i DONE the last step and it went back to the page Select an Account my company mail box just disappeared.
I have had this problem on other roms before - it just seemed disappeared but still there coz when i tried to set up an new account with the same name it reminded me that i could not set up an account that already exists.....
Can anyone advise how could i fix it?
Many thanks

Hi, can anyone help me? keep waiting.......
So I've searched all the threads, googled everything, and tried for days to get it working, but no luck.
Has anyone out there had any success with gmail and IMAP setup? I'm on a stock ROM with VZW. IMAP works fine with my work email address, and I've followed the steps from the google wiki, but no luck.
Any suggestions or help is Much appreciated!! Thank You!!
Here's the Google wiki imap info setup:
https://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=78886
(oh, and my specific error is "Messages cannot be downloaded to your mobile device. Make sure you are connected and that your email account settings are correct. Then, try to download messages again." I have of course gone through the setup numerous times double and triple checking the directions and my account info.) Thanks!
Well, after going to all of the effort to post, it looks like I have it working. I just started from scratch and created a third IMAP account for gmail with the same settings, and this time it worked!! I don't know the variable... I deleted the bad account and now all is well. Thank you to all who read and I'm lovin xda, thank you!
Well, if it makes you feel any better, I had the same problem with a Yahoo! business email account. It took several attempts using the same settings to get the emails to come through. Third time really is the charm. I know I didn't add information to the thread, but at least I know I wasn't alone with this issue
Maybe someone else can reply who knows what we may have done wrong so in the future, this won't happen.
Dear All,
I have tried asking this in few forums but nothing concrete has turned up. I am truly hoping that somebody can resolve this problem for me.
Here goes,
3 days ago my email app was working fine. i was using IMAP and it is Google apps email address. The separate gmail app i used to use for my personal email address. I was using Frankenstein XWKJ2 and got a boot loop while installing an APK. then i used CWM and restored a backup and unfortunately it was XWKJ1 backup. Just after this restore the email problems started. and now i have tried everything including factory reset but still my email does not work.
But funny thing is Gmail app works perfectly it is only when i configure the Email app for my official address that they do not work. The email app allows me to add and all but while syncing it just keeps refreshing and finally shows no emails. I know we can use K9 but i found the Stock email app very good.
Somebody please help out. I am now on XWKJ2 Firmware (Frankenstein) and Speed MOD kernel.
You should try reflash ROM

You can try the following:
1. Open Settings => Applications => Manage applications.
2. Goto "All" and select E-Mail (if there are two E-Mail apps then do it for both of them).
3. Click "Force stop", "Clear data" and "Clear cache" (if available).
4. Start E-Mail app and configure your GMail account.
Good luck !

@It_ler. Thanks for the idea. I tried it but it is same result. The email app keeps refreshing but does not show any emails.
I will try to give more information i am having a personal normal Gmail address and then my company address is google apps address.
Now my Personal gmail address if i configure in Email app it works perfect but when i do the same thing with the google apps address it does not. Also as for re flashing i have done it quote some times now with complete wipes.
also another funny thing is if i use K9 email then it all works. But frankly i want to use stock email as i was getting used to it.
any solutions.

Still not working. :-(.. Somebody please help out.
This problem resolved by itself when i upgraded to ICS. While upgrading i did a complete wipe and everything started working normally.
Hence request to close the thread.
Hello guys. I got my sgs2 with stock firmware 2.3.3 two weeks ago. I was able to set up every account flawlessly except for my exchange office email. It keeps displaying 'set up could not finish/ Cannot connect to server'. All my entries are correct and my network too is good. I tried connecting on my former device, samsung vibrant, and worked flawlessly. So also on some other devices i tried. I have read in this forum several solutions and inhave tried them all. Connect through wifi , using the exchange account under 'accounts and sync ', using 'edge' only type of connevtivity , i have also updated to stock 2.3.5 and still having the same problem. I dont want to change the email apk as some did and will prefer using the stock email app (not third party app)
Please, does anyone having any idea on getting my exchange account to connect on the sgs2? I need to sync my exchange contacts, mails and calender. Will appreciate every response to solving this problem.
Thanks guys

I know you don't want to use a third party app but your problem may be on the administrator side of your account. Try the demo of Touchdown Exchange and see if that works. If it does, then you know it's a samsung problem.
Btw, there is a limit to the number of phones you can add to your email account with exchange. Each time you put on a new rom, it treats this as a new phone. Through owa or outlook, check how many mobile devices are registered to your account.
Setup for Office 365 Exchange Account (Small Business)
I just got my SGS2 today and tried setting up my Office365 Exchange account.
I ran into issues, getting a similar error message to OP.
The solution was:
1st Screen
- on the 1st setup screen, fill in username and password
- choose "Manual Setup"
- when asked what type of account, choose "Exchange Activesync"
2nd Screen
- there are 3 fields: a) Domain:user name b) Password c) Exchange Server
a) format is domain\user name (i.e. whatever.com\[email protected])
b) already filled in
c) normally, server address is m.outlook.com when using Office365. Samsung dares to be different - you need to find your actual server address, not the generic one.
Go to this address to get details for filling in these fields: http://help.outlook.com/en-us/140/dd936215.aspx
Once I accepted the various activation messages, an error message flashed very briefly, but then sync was established and I synced very quickly.
I think the message was: "Cannot open connection with server due to security error", but I can't be sure
I ignored that error message, as sync seems to be working perfectly, with "push" activesync.
This was discussed on the Office 365 forum. Here's the link: http://community.office365.com/en-us/f/160/t/5282.aspx
I realise you may not have Office 365 Exchange, but I'm posting this in case it may be of help in some way.
P.S. Must say, I'm very chuffed that Samsung's native Exchange client supports Tasks and SMS sync, in addition to the standard options. SMS Sync seems faster than it was on HD2...
thanks guys. I really appreciate all the responses. I have tried out the solutions provided . I installed the touchdown app and it worked straight away. my mails, calendar, contacts & talks sync completely.
I also read through the links provided above and really never made any error initially on setting up my exchange account. Though I still followed through the steps/settings for exchange setup and still encountered the problem. one thing I like to clarify is that I am not sure if the server in my office is 'office 365' has being explained on that site. I think we use the exchange 2007. if the exchange server type is the issue, will using one if the email apk posted under themes and apps section work for me if installed? Because, I really will prefer using a stock email app. or is there any other way I can get the stock email app to work without giving me those error messages?
Also, will installing one of the custom roms get it working?
