anyway since mail2web is no loner free this free service could come in handy http://www.alol.net.br
if you get the following message:"the security certificate on the server is not valid. contact your exchange server administrator or ISP to install a valid certificate on the server."
Try to use without ssl connection. Or enter in https://win.alol.net.br and get the certficate file and copy to your phone and run the certificate file .cer.
Both options should work.
certificate attached below.
has anyone tried it ? i'm currently using windows live but i'm not too happy with it since i have to forward my gmail to my live acc...
anyway i have tried these services as well:
emoze - only 1mb attachment size
emansio - doesn't work with gmail when HSDPA is enabled (customer service sad that that will be fixed in their next release)
seven - service is unreliable , and too buggy for me (still beta).
WM live - doesn't allways sync (sometimes it takes up to 3hrs to sync my acc)
mail2web - no longer free
funambol - it doesn't exactly push mail.. it usually gets it within 10mins
imap pusher service - isn't stable , however a great and promising project
massaint direct push - http://dpush.massaint.com
It's free DirectPush , currently works only with gmail through ActiveSync
so does anyone have some more info on this alol.net.br exchange service - my main concern is if it's going to stay free and can i use a different "reply to/send" adress.
thanks
EDIT : added alol certificate
regards ;-)
I would rather use Chronobis ! Try that if you want Outlook emails on mobile !
It works perfect. Pushes in a second, 1GB space, up to 100MB attachment. Thanks for sharing. But looks you can't use different address.
This free service is exchange 2007 or 2003 server?

are you sure that you can sync mail? i know about calendar and contacts.
are you using something like nuevasync?
Works with your desktop Outlook 2007 and Outlook 2010
Very nice, but you can't use your existing Windows Live account for it. The only way to get those emails would be to foward them. Other than that, if you're looking for a new email address, this is fantastic!

I think you can add a GMail account to your Mail on your phone, but it doesn't use the Exchange server at all, it just goes through POP or IMAP or whatever it uses.
i use alol since 2 weeks now and i must sat that it is really reliable.
i sync ppc, tabletpc and desktop pc (mail,calendar,contacts n tasks).
the guy from alol was very helpful to configure all of this.
but if u want to also sync ourlook 2007 sp2 with alol (and any other xchange i guess), you will have to dl a hotfix for outlook, unless you configure the account before applying sp2. i did a lot of search and test before understandin and finding that.
u can pm if you need
btw, i recommand alol, it is working very well (i ger all my email from several addresses with gmail and forward all 2 alol; so that i get push for all boxes with 1 only account. little drawback: i answer all my mails with alol address)
@lezink
Can U tell me, which outlook hotfix it ist, because i´m having also trouble with alol an the Outlook 2007 SP2. I can´t connect to the server.
My mobile syncs without problems, but I want to sync my desktop pc also.
Thanx

Hmm that's true. Idk, I actually never thought about that. Bad idea by me, most likely. Well I'll tell you if anything happens. I noticed that they seem to be from Mexico or another Spanish speaking place, because all of their e-mails have spanish in the headers, like the to and from parts.

Hi guys
I have a problem with synchronizing my mails on my HD2.
I use a live.de-account for collecting all my mails from different providers - so far it works.
But then I wanted to sync those mails on my device. I was a bit suprised that the windows live program always showed up and took over the mail-setup from the inbuild-mailclient in windows mobile to itself.
The first synchronization worked but that was last week -.-.
The windows live program seems connected to the internet and my accountsettings are working (it can show my firstname) but when I want to sync it an error occured "e-mail login failed.please try it later".
I'm not so into this technique but I tried deleting and re-installing/configuring the mail setup. I downloaded the windows live software again (from market place).
I even wrote a support mail to windows but the answers was pretty much the same as in this thread.
As far as I understand the manual it's just synchronizing with outlook on my computer.
But I don't want a) Outlook and b)active-sync (= usb connection to my own computer).
I want a synchronization on the move with wlan or umts but nothing seems to work.
So actually I'm looking for a trick to configure my mail account without windows live software or some help to get it working with the windows live software.
my HD2:
unbranded original
latest official rom-version from htc ( Germany: 3.14.407.2)
Vodafone Germany
windows live software 10.7.0059.0600.1000

The thread there is correct. Which method are you really using? Do you set up hotmail as an exchange server as in the thread, or are you using the live client?
Sorry,but I'm not so into this.
Exchange Server?
In HTC Sense is a mail program and I use that.But when I want to configure a new account it automatically redirects my to windows live. I think windows live intercepts the setup and overtakes it because of the @live.de -ending. If i use other providers - everythings working fine without windows live.

There are two ways to connect to hotmail (aka live mail). The old method is to use the Live mobile, an application that allows you to access several live features. You get mails when you check mail, like POP3. The new method (I think it was released last year) is to use push mail. Configure it as it you have an exchange server, and set the parameters according to the link. New mails will immediately appear on your mobile. Both method should work. With push mail, you don't need to install the live mobile application and you don't need to explicitly check mail.
Ah.
alright,it's working...
sorry but I don't saw any connection between push mail and exchange server..
Ok,now I could deinstall windows live?
It's not necessary any more,right?

Correct. If you are setting up push mail (it uses Exchange Sync protocol so that's why you configure hotmail as exchange), then you no longer needs the Live client (unless you want other features, such as Messenger).
Hi Raizm and Alex,
OK ! The pushmail settings worked perfect for my with HD2 > Outlook > Hotmail settings. (with link settings) THANKS !! I tested this with a kind of 'Spam hotmail account' NOW i have a problem. I cannot change my spam hotmail adres to my real one. It is greyed-out in the settings ?!!! Also tried new account in windows live messenger but alas, still no change (possible) in my userID field....
Thanks very much in advance !!!
Peter
YESSSS FOUND IT, PFFFF
This is a tricky one. You have to go to the activeync !!! (Default Windows menu >> Extra)
There Menu > Options and then delete "Microsoft Exchange Items" with delete button.
THEN you can create a new Exchange account within outlook.
Thought I let you all know.
Thanks anyway
Hi
I am getting the Galaxy SII in the next few days and I am coming form a windows 6.5 phone, but have also used iPhones for work purposes.
Has anyone tested the exchange setup on the new Galaxy?
I am a long standing hotmail user (please dont start a bashing thread hotmail vs gmail etc ) and I want to stay using hotmail.
Is the exchange client on the phone now capable of doing everything using a hotmail account?
If not whats the best solution?
Use a different mail client on the phone?
Link hotmail to gmail account?
I've done a little searching and it seems that different models of android phones seem to handle exchange email in different ways as some phones seem to work others dont.....
I also would like to know what advantages gmail gives to you over hotmail only in reference to Andriod?
Many thanks

Well microsoft has made an exchange server for hotmail and live which i use on mij galaxy s1, so i guess that would work ony any phone with exchange support.
Just enter it like this:
Id: [email protected] (or live)
Password: your email password
Domain: leave this empty
Server: m.hotmail.com(even for a live.nl adress)
Ssl box ticked
Then you can choose what you want to sync and how (push or time based)

If you need full exchange-ish funcionality, then touchdown is probably the best app to use.

Same problem here. I've been with hotmail for almost 15 years and don't want to change. I want a client that syncs the way activesync did on my winmo phone (with sub folders too)....searched and searched with no luck. I can't believe that it doesn't come with the default client
Hotmail/Live accounts work. However, I tried to link my university email, which uses Outlook, and that didn't work.

You have push mail set on exchange server defined under ActiveSync?
If so, I recall having similar problems with m.google.com few months ago, the reason being that Activesync would no longer autostart. What helped in my case was simple removing the connection and then setting it again from the start. Not sure if you suffer from the same AS dementia, but maybe give it a try.

from what I've checked yahoo does not provide push service for Windows Mobile - so my initial guesss might have been wrong - but it can be done anyway, in two ways:
- link your yahoo account to gmail account, then configure gmail push
- use sth called seven recommended in this thread
For those of you who aren't entirely committed to one email service like myself (Gmail is great also) or just need to maintain that Hotmail address you've had forever, here you go...
SDXversion of this thread
You can now setup Hotmail/Live/MSN Mail for push notifications and folder/calendar/contact sync using the Exchange Active Sync (EAS) Service and it works with stock "Email" Client. There is a dedicated Hotmail app for android, but I want all my Email in one place, and K9 Mail doesn't support EAS 2010 WebDav, which appears to be what the hotmail server is using. Not sure about Gmail app.

Instructions for default mail client
Account settings and their level of support will vary across Android phones. While the steps to configure push email with synced contacts and calendar will vary, we have found these steps to work across a number of phones:
1. Select Email client on phone.
2. Press menu and select Add account
3. Enter full Hotmail address: e.g. ([email protected]) or ([email protected])
4. Enter password
5. Select Manual setup
6. Select Exchange when prompted for “What type of account is this?”
7. Domain/Username, enter full Hotmail address: e.g. ([email protected]).
Note: If the device only says “Domain”, it should be left blank.
If the device says “Username”, then enter the full Hotmail address.
(On some devices, the Domain/Username may be pre-populated incorrectly and should be erased.)
8. Type in password. (may already be filled in)
9. Server name. Enter: m.hotmail.com for server name.
** Alternate Servers reported by others: bay-m.hotmail.com
(Note: this field may be pre-populated incorrectly depending on device, ie outlook.com).
10. Make sure box Use secure connection (SSL) is checked.
11. Select Next
12. Select desired account options for inbox checking frequency, number of days to synchronize, send email by default, notifications and contacts/calendar sync. Select Next.
13. Depending on device you may be prompted for account color and account name (e.g. “Hotmail”)
14. Select Next and your Hotmail is set-up and ready to go!

The outlook .com service is brand new so I'm not sure about it. I would expect that it would use the same m.hotmail.com server and that the rest would be a settings issue but I could be wrong. Haven't seen enough info about it. I copied the settings in the op from Microsoft's site before the killed the link on how to do it. They want you to use their hotmail app which is poor.
As far as exchange SMS, I haven't heard of exchange being used for that let alone a free server.

For a moment I thoght this was Microsoft Outlook client contact synchronization and not the "online" @msn.com, @hotmail.com, @outlook.com, etc accounts.
Anyone has a good -free- suggestion on how to sync Outlook (client/application) contacts & calendar with Android?

For a moment I thoght this was Microsoft Outlook client contact synchronization and not the "online" @msn.com, @hotmail.com, @outlook.com, etc accounts.
Anyone has a good -free- suggestion on how to sync Outlook (client/application) contacts & calendar with Android?
Thanks,
Pozi.

I went through some headaches when I switched from my Winmo 6.0 Treo/Outlook/hotmail setup to Android/outlook/hotmail/gmail setup.
There isn't any decent free solution that I found. I did breakdown and buy "CompanionLink" to handle 2 way sync between Outlook & Google's server (contacts, calendar, & tasks) and it works well for that. I'm almost completely on Google services now (I only use hotmail for push email).
If I find a way to seamlessly sync contacts/calendars/tasks between Google/android/Hotmail/Outlook I will be all over it. Using exchange active sync (from the op) & CompanionLink are as close to a solution as I think there will be.
Note: Exchange Active Sync will allow you to sync hotmail calendar/contacts/tasks, but they will be completely separate from the phone/google info (like a separate directory) and not merge/update them together.

Some info i want to share, ITS ONLY MAIL SYNC!
Incomming settings:
POP3 server: pop3.live.com
Port: 995
Security type: SSL/TLS (Accept all certificates)
Outcomming settings:
SMTP server: smtp.live.com
Port: 587
Security type: STARTTLS (Accept all certificates)
If you set up the account as a POP email account, then yes, email (timed interval sync) is all you get without the push option.
If u set it up as listed in the OP (Exchange Active Sync), you get additional features.

The only issue i've found with this is that you can't view your emails in HTML. Can only view them in Plain Text and if you try to change the setting, the box to do so is greyed out and won't allow you to change it. Otherwise everything works great. Anyone have a fix for this?
G'day from down under,
I have just upgraded from a Xperia Z1 which had PC Companion (full outlook sync functionality) but the Xperia X Performance only has Xperia Companion which only backs up. I have found 1 app (akrutosync) online that proposes to do a full sync (contacts / calendar / etc) but they charge $34.95 a year. MobileGo is only an import / export app, not a sync app so it's useless.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Exchange ActiveSync is supported on this phone. If you use Outlook.com, just open the stock email app and add your account - voila. Only thing I can't get working right are Tasks & Notes, but there's a great app from the Play Store (Tasks & Notes for MS Exchange) that does the trick.

I've used that software for syncing Outlook calendar with my Xperia smartphone before switching to iPhone 7. It works like a charm, the only bad thing was that you can't switch between syncing via Wi-Fi and over the Internet on the go. Just checked their website and these $35 is still a one-time payment. However, syncing through Outlook.com should be a good alternative if you're not okay with paying for 3-rd party software.

I have the outlook client on my PC. I am NOT using exchange (corporate server).
Hey everyone,
I found an app as suggested by a few on Sony Mobiles official forums where everyone was tearing Sony to shreds for ditching PC Companion's sync functionality & someone suggested MyPhoneExplorer. It's really damn good. It actually corrected some issues that PC Companion had created (anyone without a birthday automatically scored 1/1/1970 as their birthday upon the first ever sync when I got my Z1) and it has some quirks which I have overcome. All in all a great app.

Outlook .com > isnt that just for hotmail or MS email accounts as that how i've used it up till now. I actually have office 2016 on my PC & have the Outlook 2016 client on my PC (not associated with an exchange server). Like you said iTunes is awesome but I left apple in my past (iPhone 4) and dont want to go back. LOL

Yes, but you can setup Outlook.com like an Exchange account on the phone to sync email, contacts, & calendar.

I realise the outlook app acts like that but only with your outlook.com account (hotmail etc). If it is able to do it with contacts & calendar of a pc running Office 16 (and office 13 as that operates the same way & will help many other users) then please advise how as thats all i'm chasing.

As I said, I'm using Office 2016. I'm not using Office 365. Office 2016 is a PC client. Office 365 is a year by year licence & is a web based service, just like gmail etc.

It doesn't matter whether you have Office 365 or not... If you are using Outlook.com to send/receive email, the settings I provided will work.
Or change the server to m.outlook.com - it all works the same.

For the billionth time i'm using Outlook 2016 on PC. It's a software application not a web client. It has absolutely nothing to do with outlook.com which is what microsoft replaced hotmail.com with in early 2013.

Hi,
I use Outlook 2016 too and also noticed that PC Companion from Sony does not sync your calendar, contact, notes, etc. It only backs it up. So I have made a long search how to sync my contacts, etc with Microsoft Outlook 2016. Well, the answer is simple, use a third party app for that called MyPhoneExplorer. You can download it from the App store for free. You also have to install the MyPhoneExplorer client on your PC. It works flawlessly, either by Wifi, bluetooth or USB. BTW, do not use PC Companion also for backing up your device, cause it does not work. I have had a crash with my Sony and tried to restore it with one of my six backups, none of them worked and all gave, sooner or later an error message. Use instead "Backup your Mobile", also availalble in the store and for free. This does the job properly and you can choose to place the backup either in Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive and Orange Cloud.
kindest regards, kuzibri

I know, but just wanted to emphasize it, but the main part of my post is not to use PC Companion as your backup program,
