Hello,
I have a question about using the Hero as "gateway" to sync my exchange contacts with Gmail.
I have my addressbook in Exchange (I have to use it in my company), although for my personal email I use gmail. But I want to have a single contacts / calendar database. The calendar can be synced easily with googlesync, but not the contacts. Exporting and Importing with CSV file doesn't work very well as Exchange contacts sometimes shows exchange email address and it's not usable in gmail.
My idea is to use the Hero to sync the contacts with exchange (already done via HTC Sync), and then push them to gmail adressbook. But I cannot find a way to do this. Anybody knows?
Thanks
I'm currently doing so.
But sorry to say although you can do so, some additional details(such as your customed infomation about your contact) it's not usable in gmail's exchange service. Gmail sync only supported information of every contact.
but of course you can try it yourself.
imap.gmail.com port 993 ssl needed
smtp.gmail.com port 465 or 587 STARTTLS/SSL neede
account: your gmail username(with @gmail.com)
address: your gmail username(with @gmail.com)
password: I believe you know it.
Then don't forget to check the boxes that allowed you to sync contacts with exchange server.

Good Morning,
I currently have several email accounts set up with K9 email but I seem to have a bit of an issue here and there.
I have;
Two Hotmail accounts ; I am receiving emails that come to the Hotmail addresses into both my hotmail account AND into the K9 accounts on my droid. NO ISSUES.
then
One Gmail account which is my business email. I have my @gmail.com configured to forward to my @.customdomain.com. I am receiving all emails sent by people to my K9 account on my Droid but it does not arrive into my outlook . When I send an email to my @custom.domain.com account from my own outlook package, it does arrive back in my outlook inbox . So gmail seems to be routing my own outlook mail ok but not anything coming from third parties via gmail.
I am guessing it is a simple setting but where ? I have all the "delete from server" etc UNCHECKED in the account settings ....
Can anyone shed a light with what info I have given >??
thanks very much
Ok may be when k9 gets updated it sets email as already poped or read to your domain that's why outlook doesn't retrieve them. But when you send them through outlook may be due to internal routing it comes to your inbox and not through server. Try this deconfigure your k9 and see if it pops in outlook or set outlook to retrieve all mail read unread deleted poped. I don't know how.

I have done nothing but research since last night about how I can use ActiveSync for Exchange with a different port but can't seem to find an answer.
What annoys me more is that this can be done on the Apple iOS.... a dumbed down, off the shelf, user device but not on our devices.
The standard email.apk doesn't allow you to specify a port, only allows SSL on/off. I am running SSL over port 8081 due to my hosting ISP limitations.
K9 Mail will allow me to use a port but doesn't sync my contacts, calendar, etc... I really need ActiveSync!
Any one know of how we can get ActiveSync on Android to talk on a different port to the standards?
Thanks!
For anyone in the same boat as me.... I found a reasonable solution that works quite well.
1. Forward your domain email account from your domain to a Gmail account, authorise Gmail to send and receive for your domain email account (you can set it to default to reply from your domain email address). Two ways you can forward:
A: If you're hosting an exchange server you can create a contact in Active Directory, make that contacts email address the gmail account email address. Bring up the user properties of your domain email account, select Exchange General tab, select Mail Forwarding, then select the contact you just made. Apply all and that will forward to the Gmail account.
B: Put mail forwarding options on your domain host to forward your domain email account to the gmail account. This costs some money but not much (currently about $5 per year with Go Daddy).
2. Export your contacts from Outlook into a Windows CSV file, Gmail understands this file with no issues. Gmail will inherit all your contacts once this is done.
3. Setup the Gmail calendar with whatever specifics you need (time zone, etc).
4. Setup Gmail on the Android. It works like a dream... I've not found an issue with that setup yet and I get my email, calendar and contacts all sync'd happily
Really hope this helps someone.

HI,
i am using htc SXL and wondering which one of the above is the best (quick) one to receive emails? (push email).
thanks,
You can google the differences between POP3 and IMAP.
Basically POP3 will delete messages from the server once they are downloaded to your device where as IMAP will keep them on the server but mark them read. Only if you delete them youself will they be removed from the server. So if you also read your email on another computer/device and want to see all your messages new and old, IMAP is the better choice.
Exchange works similar to IMAP as far as mail goes but also allows you to sync calendars as well. I use a calendar for work in Outlook via an Exchange server and it syncs nicely with the Android calendar app.
Hi,
Is there a method to sync Exchange GAL to contacts? Maybe a plugin for a new account type to sync it?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
When you add an Exchange account, is there not an option for you to sync contacts?
Side note: for me, I do NOT have my Exchange account contacts synced, so my Exchange contacts do not show up in my Contacts app. However, when composing emails, the Intellisense in Email still auto-finds my Exchange contacts. So I find I don't need them synced anyways.
Hello, I am using the stock email app on the MT2L03 configured for Hotmail, Gmail, Yahoo and Exchange mail boxes. I noticed that any graphics / pictures in Hotmail emails body copies are only showing up as web URL.
However, emails from all the other mail services display correctly
So if I forward an email from Hotmail to Gmail and read it on the stock client, it displays perfectly.
I tried to get help from the helpline but they asked me to speak to Microsoft for a resolution!
I have tried both m.hotmail.com and s.outlook.com as the mail server config with no luck.
The mate 2 email client is a mess
You might want to forget about the stock email client and go with an all gmail solution, seems to work well for me :
Download the gmail and exchange apks from Android police (since I can't post links google: Gmail 5.0 With Exchange Support And Material Design Has Landed)
Either disable your stock email client or remove
Open gmail
Setup a new account, choose exchange as the type.
Setup the account like you would on the stock client.
The exchange sync seems to work for me.
If you want something easier and nice, get the mailwise app (again, can't post a link) from play (just know you can'tadd or update contacts). .
