Google Sync is a free service that allows you to sync your contacts, email and calendar with your gmail account.
It is a two-way sync, meaning that if you add an appointment or contact to your phone, it will upload to Google's cloud and update your gmail information as well.
I use Google Sync to keep my contacts in the cloud, vs using myPhone since I have multiple phones but only one Windows Live account. If you have ever synced two phones to myPhone under one account, you'll see right away why this is a bad thing.
One of my favorite benefits from using Google Sync is the fact that it not only stores my phone contacts, it also stores their facebook links and contact pictures as well. This means that I can freely flash another ROM without worrying about backing up all of my contacts to SIM or myPhone and then manually updating all of the information for them.
The best part of Google Sync has to be the push email service. As emails arrive (assuming you have set the account up correctly), they will be pushed to your phone via ActiveSync. You don't have to be at your computer for this, it's done over the air.
The only think Google Sync can't do is sync Tasks. If you choose Tasks during the setup, you will receive a cryptic error.
Now that I've told you about the benefits of Google Sync, let's go over how to use it. This assumes you have an existing gmail account. I don't know how to sync with Google without a gmail account, sorry.
I always add my hotmail account first. For some strange reason you can never go back and edit the settings for the first mail account you setup on Windows Mobile, so I use my hotmail account for this.
Steps:
Select your Mail tab and hit the Menu button
Choose "Add Account"
Under "Choose a Mail Provider", select "Outlook" (Don't select Gmail!)
Put your entire gmail address ([email protected]) in the "Email address" box, followed by your password.
Select "Next"
Under "User name" put your email address ([email protected]) again.
The Password field should be filled in, if not just put it in again.
Scroll down.
Leave "Domain" blank.
Scroll down.
Leave "Save password" checked.
Under "Server address" put m.google.com
Leave "This server requires an encrypted (SSL) connection" checked.
Select "Next"
If all options are selected, deselect Tasks (Very Important!)
If not, select Mail, Contacts, Calendar
Hit Advanced Settings
Peak time and Non-peak time (I have "As items arrive" on both here) sets how often your emails are pushed to your phone.
I have nationwide coverage, so I also select "Sync data when roaming".
Hit "Done"
Hit "Done" again.
The phone will now connect to the Google Sync server and begin updating your contacts, calendar appointments and email. This may take a few minutes, depending on the number of contacts and such. If you have any unread messages in your gmail inbox, they should now appear on your phone in short order. You may choose "Send/Receive" from the mail Menu if you think it is taking too long.
You will now be able to receive your email sent to your gmail account as soon as it arrives. I have also forwarded my email from my other accounts to my gmail account, but this may be too much for you.
I would not recommend this to anyone who does not have the "Smart Phone" plan (so-called "Unlimited Data Plan"), as it will eat up your bandwith quickly. It may also have a detrimental effect on your battery, due to the fact that it requires a constant data and Active Sync connection to work properly.
If you are concerned about your battery, you can try changing the Peak and Non-peak options under "Advanced" to longer intervals. If it makes a big difference in the life of your battery, I would love to hear about it here!

Hopefully this will be of use to someone out there! Please let me know if you use Google Sync or if you have trouble following my directions.
---Issue With Labels/Folders---
If you have set gmail to tag messages with labels as they come in, you may not be able to read the messages on your phone. XDA-DEV user pantyshot has managed a workaround and posted it here. Be sure to thank pantyshot for the fix if you find it handy!
Also, newer versions of Outlook Mobile (any available as a cab install so that people don't have to use a custom rom?) support sorting messages by subject. Pretty darn close to the threaded messages in the orgasmic Android Gmail app.
I've been doing this since I got the phone, but it is nice to see someone write up the details.
Nice thx man. I didnt even know this was possible on WM coming from a Nexus. I synced my phonebook with MS outlook but nice to know this is possible.
This should be a sticky!!!
Thanks... nice sticky note.
On Friday, I bought an HD2 to replace my Nexus One (which I gave to my daughter). The N1 & Android are just fine but I wanted to play with the HD2 and WinMo. Not too worried about the lack of support for WinMo 7 as I am certain that we will find versions we can use thanks to XDA.
Ok, back on-topic... I was using Google Sync to get my messages from Gmail to my Nexus One. I now know how to do this with WinMo 6.5. I will address this when I get back home as I am on a business trip in Amman, Jordan and I don't want to rake-up astronomical data roaming charges while over here.
this is helpful for newbies/ beginners..
Anyway I had done set up the gmail as "PRIMARY" account only when i got HD2. why i need hotmail set up as primary account then add gmail? I just curious..
I've been using this method as well, but has anyone noticed that you cannot sync your labels from gmail? Is it just me or Outlook just syncs the inbox aside from contacts and calendar?
The only glitch I have seen with using google sync is that when you import your contacts from google, they get sorted as Last Name, First Name. (Doe, John.)I have always liked seeing my contact list as first name last name. (John Doe.) If you manually try to switch this in your contact list, it gets over written once google syncs again. Does anyone know how to possibly fix this?
This method is GREAT. Big thanks to OP

I'm not sure why, but whenever you add a new email account to Windows Mobile and attempt to go back and edit it, the first account you added will always be grayed out. This means you can't modify, or even delete the first account.
Since you may decide you want to change how often you check your gmail, I thought you might want to add a hotmail account (Windows Live) first, since those settings are automatic and can't be changed anyway.
I've always had to do a hardreset in the past to get rid of bad gmail settings, so I learned to always put hotmail first.
Hope that helps

I know, this is annoying. I have added two new contacts and both of them were sorted like this.
You can try deleting the "Last Name" field in your phone contacts, then add the last name beside the first name, but I haven't actually tried that.
If it works, please get back to us

When I used the official Gmail App, it represented labels as folders. Because Google doesn't actually have different folders (just different flags for each message), I don't know of any way to split the messages by folder.
As a matter of fact, I don't think you can do this with regular folders via Outlook, due to the way the built-in email client works.
If anyone knows a fix to this please post; we would all like to separate our messages by folders if possible!

You can try this app I have called Contact Changer. Just install to phone, hit the change button and soft reset. After that they should display correctly, and it's actually WinMo that displays contacts like that b/c I have mine sync'd through Microsoft Myphone (b/c gmail messes up the contact pics) and they display the same way.
Now once you run the app, if you add a contact or delete a contact it will revert to last name first. Just run the Contact Changer and reboot again and you will be golden.

Funny you mention that.
I actually used the built-in option to link my favorite contacts to their respective facebook account in my friends list. This changed the contact picture from the camera image I had to their facebook avatar. When next I flashed my phone, Google loaded the contacts back with the facebook linke and facebook avatar, which was very surprising to me.
Does myPhone do the same thing if you use them to keep track of your contacts?

Not sure what you posted this link in reference to. Unless you are confusing Google Sync with ActiveSync...
ActiveSync is the method of connecting your phone directly to your PC, for file transfers, updating your ROM image and standard backups. It is also the name of the protocol that the Microsoft Exchange Servers use to sync data between the Server and ActiveSync-enabled devices.
Google Sync is a free Microsoft Exchange Server that allows "push" email via your phone's data connection. You don't have to be near a PC to sync your calendar, contacts or gmail.
I think the threaded e-mail conversations are only available in the WM 6.5.x versions of WinMo. I am also unable to sync my other folders (Sent, Saved) from Gmail. I have them checked off as well in the Manage Folders option, but nothing appears in these folders after syncing. I think the only possible folder to sync is Inbox.

Are you sure they are actually folders? I thought gmail only has labels that appear as folders in the native clients.
Also, this is the same as most Outlook syncs; it will only give you the unread messages. There may be a setting in gmail that will allow you to retrieve old messages, but I'm not sure why you would want to do that on a mobile phone.
If you want to just get your emails, you can use the "Gmail" option when setting up your new email account on the HD2. This won't "push" like the "Outlook" option will, but you can still set it to manually check as often as every 5 minutes if you can spare the battery life.
Of course, you would be much better off getting the official gmail client for that, since that will also support your lables-as-folders option.
Myself, I prefer to use Google Sync and let that push emails to my phone as well as syncing all of my gmail and phone contacts. I don't use labels any more and don't want all the "Sent" or "Archived" messages to clutter up my phone.
Yea, you're probably right about the labeling/folder issue. I just want to see a saved e-mail to look some thing up at times, but maybe I'll just log onto gmail.com for that on my phone. Is there any Gmail client available for WinMo phones? I haven't seen any. Also, does push kill battery life? (ex. sync every 5 minutes) Or is it a more sophisticated syncing method that will only connect to data when new messages arrive?
Set up Exchange e-mail with no problems and have been using it for a while.
Everything is working fine for all the generic folders (inbox, drafts, outbox, sent, trash, junk e-mail).
The other day I noticed that some of the sub-folders I have under my inbox do not appear on the Eris.
It's not consistent, some sub-folders under a folder appear, but others do not.
It seems like the mail client chooses sub-folders at random.
I see no option to select which sub-folders sync to the device either like in the gmail client. Has anyone figure out a way to make ALL subfolders in the inbox appear?
Not sure what the answer would be. All of my folders that are on my exchange server show up in my list. I do have a personal folder in Outlook that will not show up on my phone as it is not on the server. Sorry I'm not much help!
I know that in Touchdown, you can choose which folders you want to sync to your phone and such. I have stopped using the standard email app because it didn't have the ability to do message filtering (which I need for work when I'm on-call).
Sorry that this is one of those "I'm not really sure, but try this app instead" emails, but you might want to download the trial version of Touchdown and see if you like it. You can use the full features for 30 days before having to buy it. And I've seen it on the Amazon Appstore for as low as $7.99 (much better than the $19.99 normal price).

i finally got my relevant folders to sync. so i take it that you click on folders and inbox and see your subfolders?
if you long press a folder, you can change the sync options. all of mine were sent to manual.
Though i did read something recent that you may not get notification for emails received in your subfolder... not sure about that yet, because i just configured it a few minutes ago.
I'll let you know though.
Anyone recommend a "one size fit all email app" like the iphone, for Att S2?
I'm using Exchange, yahoo, gmail. I have lots of folder in my exchange mail and the stock Mail is sux.
Moxier mail is good but only have 1 email acc. I need an app that can put all mails in one place and showing folders instead of coupel apps for emails.
Thanks
I use Gmail for all of my accounts. I set Gmail up to retrieve (pop) mail from my Yahoo account and my other email address forwards to Gmail. I have labels set up, which allows me to organize it. I've been doing this for a while and it works really well.
What about Exchange, all folder will show or i have to go settings and choose specific folder to view? it's a pain in the bu.. . I really like the way iphone's emails handle.

I've never used Exchange, but if you were able to successfully configure it for pop retrieval, it'd work just as your other email addresses, in terms of how you view them (outlined below). Otherwise, perhaps forwarding is an option. For the email address I have forwarding, I set up filters (scans incoming emails for defined rules) to apply labels (e.g., when the sender or recipient is ______, apply this label). It's something you'd have to toy around with, but I've gotten mine set up pretty well.
All emails would show in your Gmail account inbox (with labels on each one, if you've done this) and you have the ability to specifically select a label to only see mail with that label. This is something you can do online or on your device via the Gmail app (viewing individual labels). I've tried just about every email client and I've found that this method is what works best for me.
Good luck.

I was set up like this as well for quite some time - and it worked well. Recently switched to using maildroid, which I like, but haven't customized to get more functionality than I had with gMail yet...
What's wrong with the stock mail client? Seems really nice to me. Should support all of those account types and you can switch folders very easily.

The stock email client is very nice and seems to work very well with Exchange. From what I've seen so far:
1) Tasks will sync
2) Folders are supported, much nicer and easier than with the Captivate
3) Flags are supported
4) Various display options such as first line preview, threaded emails, etc
5) Out of Office settings can be made from phone.
6) You can search emails on the server, not just those on your phone
7) In landscape it'll do a preview pane on the right-hand side. Not bad.
Try it, you've got nothing to lose. Seems pretty nice so far. The only thing I am missing is the ability to "check" multiple emails and take an action on a group of them (e.g., delete them all). You need to do it one-by-one. But so far it works well.
Anybody know if the stock email client can be set up for "push only" so it doesn't poll every x minutes for new mail?
Another vote for enhanced email. You can bypass exchange security rules

Enhanced Email is what youre looking for. I'm a huge Exchange user and this program easily integrates and works just like it does on iphone. You can choose which folders to keep in sync and it will notify you whenever a new message arrives in sub-folders.
The only problem I have with the stock email app is that you can't "Select All" and delete. That capability, and the ability to forward emails by clicking on several contacts and adding them , as the stock program does, are two features I really like; however, I can't find an email program that has both capabilities.

I installed Enhance email. However, it looks alike stock mail (may be I haven't explorer it much). I do like Moxier mail because it's giving me the interface just like Outlook (folder is in order same as my work laptop). Unfortunately, Moxier mail only have 1 account. Wish i can add other acc then it should be PERFECT
Whats the best email app out there? I am not a fan of the stock email app because it always opens my email zoomed in which I find annoying. Gmail is ok, but I have other non gmail address's I need to check.
Thanks.

No much difference btween stock and Enhanced email. They both suck to handle folders. Also EE have less of sync schedules compare to stock
If you need an exchange email. I recommend Moxie Mail. Show folders in order + show new email indicators at the corners.

It's the graphics, not text formatting. It looks fine on devices with a smaller display, but because it's enlarged on the Note it makes the bitmap graphics blurry. Changing the formatting options did nothing for me but change the way the text looks. It's not that bad, I'll deal with it. I'm just glad I can delete my e-mails, lol.

ok I guess we use email 2 totally different ways. Considering I am the Manager over Network Operations and also the exchange server administrator over the corporation yeah I would think I do use exchange email.
You are correct on both accounts you dont get email alerts for sub-folders and cant set peak and off peak times but it does give you more scheduling options outside of that than the stock email app.
I usually dont put anything important in subfolders under my email box and allow my outlook client to sort into PST files when I launch my outlook client. This keeps the size of my exchange account smaller and its to me a pain in the ass to figure out which folder I am getting alerted on so it really dont matter to me about sub-folder email alerts. If I want to see if a particular email has been received I usually just go to that folder and look for it.
As for the peak non peak times I am not even interested in getting that granular with the schedules in the least as I need my emails about the same whether its 10pm or 10am my job doesnt dictate when I dont need emails as regular.
my comment to you wasnt to start a pissing match with you btw.
All I want to know is, HOW CAN I OPEN THE STOCK EMAIL APP SHOWING THE ACTUAL EMAILS versus the account screen first?

Sorry for being a crazy nut. I wasn't start any pissing match at all . I was disappointed with EE because i spend 10 bucks and it's just the same as stock (in my oppinion). For my Exchange email, a have lots of sub folder category that needed for my work and those need to show me if I get new emails. Also for sync schedule i just see 15m, 30m 1h, 4h... in EE exactly same as stock with no peak hours and selected day(I don't want to have push emails when i'm home (4 hours sync maybe).

Sorry for being a crazy nut. I wasn't start any pissing match at all . I was disappointed with EE because i spend 10 bucks and it's just the same as stock (in my oppinion). For my Exchange email, a have lots of sub folder category that needed for my work and those need to show me if I get new emails. Also for sync schedule i just see 15m, 30m 1h, 4h... in EE exactly same as stock with no peak hours and selected day(I don't want to have push emails when i'm home (4 hours sync maybe). So Moxie Mail solve my problem: show sub-folder in correct order and sync/show my new mail in sub folder.

Hey there, I'm the developer of Enhanced Email and long time XDA member/contributor. Regarding your sub-folder issue, it sounds like you don't know how to enable sync on sub-folders from my app. You just long-press on any sub-folder and select "Toggle sync" from the context menu that appears. You'll begin receiving notifications for those folders now when new mail arrives.
Regarding the "folder hierarchy" issue, that is in the works. Technically, if you set up an IMAP account the folder hierarchy shows just fine. It only shows the list of folders flat for Exchange accounts due to Exchange not providing the tiered name in the folder properties like IMAP does. You have to actually create the tiered name by matching folder IDs to their names and following parent IDs till you reach the root folder. It's a mess but like I said it's in the works.

I believe it's called Moxier Mail, not Moxie. Just trying to make it easy for folks to find it. Not picking.
Hi,
I have a Hotmail account and wandering if there's any way to get my other folders to sync same as inbox? On the stock email app for my Mate 10 pro I can't even add the folders and Gmail lets me add them but can't get them to sync like inbox (have to manually refresh).
Sounds minor but bugs the hell out of me, there must be a way without using a 3rd party app?
Cheers in advance.
Use the Outlook app from the Playstore. It really uses push notifications and not "check every 30 minutes" or something like that.
Hi,
I have 3 hotmails accounts synchronized on the stock app of my mate 10 pro with multiple folders.
You can select the folders you want to synchronize in the stock app (sorry, my phone is set in French): go to the three dots at the bottom of the app - parameters - select your Hotmail account - folders synchronization
Here you can select by folders how you want to sync them.
Hope this helps
PS : automatic push (real time notification) is working without any issue on the stock app.
Hi @freedamdam, thanks for your reply.
I don't have that option, do you definitely use stock email app? I have the normal folder screen on left showing inbox, sent, drafts, recycle bin, etc best t not my personally created folders? The 3 dots takes me into settings but nothing in there re folders.
Also, when you set up your Hotmail did you select Hotmail or use Microsoft exchange or other? Not sure if makes difference? Just don't understand why you can't view your folders!
Thanks
Wayne
Yes, I'm using stock app, no root or whatsoever, as I was also on my P9 with the exact same options for hotmail folders.
But I think you got it,m right, you have to setup your accounts as Microsoft exchange, not Hotmail, so as to get real time push and folders options I believe.
Let us know if this works.
Dam
OK thanks again for reply
Tried adding exchange account in settings but keep getting couldn't connect to server? Tried googling settings for exchange and tried couple but still get same error message.
I'm missing/not doing something obvious here can't for life of me see what!

Thnx for the tip. Added the account as an Exchange and there is the push option.
Any tips on how to set up as exchange? Mine either gets stuck "connecting to server" or "couldn't connect to server", tried using my email as domain, imap-mail.outlook.com as server and 993 as port but can't set it up.
Cheers

Hey,
I don't remember exactly how I did but as far as I can recall, it was rather simple. But in the parameters, here is what I can see :
Server : m.hotmail.com
Port : 443
SSL/TLS
certificate : none
Hope this helps,
Dam
