Please move if this is the wrong place. Not 100% sure this is device specifc (HD2) or 6.5 related. So I have been reluctant to configure my personal email on my HD2 because the HD2 synches to our corporate email exchange server, although I own the phone, and as far as I can tell, there doesn't seem to be a way to seperate what is sysnched and what isn't, so here's my question...
If I set up multiple emails, one being a corporate email on exchange, will my other email accounts emails remain private and only on the phone?
Create a dummy account on gmail/hotmail as a "proof of concept." But yes, it remains separate even in the Sense UI.

Newbie here having trouble with Remote Tracker 0.4.2-0 on my TMOUS HD2 and haven't found an answer yet. When I send email commands to RT, such as rt2#egp, my phone just sits there in standby and when I unlock it Outlook is open with the email message ready to send. Anyone have an idea why and what I need to do? When I go to Outlook Contacts>Menu>Options I get an error report, "A problem has occurred with poutlook.exe," then comes up with List view settings, that's it, I don't know if there is supposed to be more and not sure if this has anything to do with the message not being sent. Everything is stock except for a few added apps and I just did a hard reset before reinstalling my apps after some experimentation. I don't use Outlook or even set up an email account on phone and haven't made any tweaks I can think of that would effect Outlook.
I also noticed that the CELLID shows me to be in New Jersey when I'm actually in Texas, this doesn't seem to be of much use at all but I haven't tried changing CELLID settings from default.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

ummm,,, if you have no email set up, how do you expect it to send you an email?

I thought commands where you supply an email address (like, rt2#egp#[email protected]#password) would, if so configured, silently without intervention send to the supplied email addy without even having email setup in RT; however, I do have the email account in RT configured; I do not have Outlook, AOL, Yahoo, etc accounts set up in the HD2s mail app (I use Opera to go to my Hotmail account).
In RT's email setup I have only one option under Account, Activesync, is this correct?

no, you need an actual account set up that the phone can use to connect to an outgoing email server with. Just feeding it the email address you want to use is no good, as it has no m,eans to send to that address. Its a bit like giving a man with no telephone your phone number ad asking him to call you.
Choosing the activesync account wouldnt help either, as it would only send when the phone was copnnected and synced to outlook on a pc. (activesync isnt a real account, just an extension of teh outlook account on eth pc)
I have an HTC HD2 and I have a question about multiple mailboxes. I want to connect to my business account which is an Exchange server and my personal account which I use POP3. This works fine but is there a way to separate contacts, calendar and notes. I only want my personal items on the phone and the business items on the phone and the server. Is there an app for that?
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.

I am new to Android and coming from a Blackberry. How can I sync the emails in outlook with my new phone? I don't have an exchange server and I would prefer to do it with the mail app that came with the phone. I would like the emails to delete from outlook when I delete them on the phone and show as read when I read them on the phone and vice versa. I would prefer not to have the emails and information sent into the "cloud" also if that is possible, but if it is the only way so be it.
I know that I can have the two different email addresses sent to my phone through the included mail app by setting them up separately, but would the emails show as read, deleted, etc in outlook if I did that?
If it makes a difference I have two email addresses that feed into outlook. One of them is pop and one is imap. The phone is an HTC Amaze.
Could I just convert my pop email to imap and set up the two email addresses separately on my phone? Wouldn't that make it so when I delete email from outlook or the phone, it will be deleted on the other?
The problem with this is my isp does not offer imap so I will have to use google email to sync with it and make it imap.
If I do this I will have to add the gmail account to outlook and my phone, but wouldn't I have to delete the pop account from outlook and the phone in order to avoid duplicate emails showing up? I think this might happen because right now if I check the pop account without using outlook the emails show up that were received after I last opened outlook. The issue with deleting the pop account from outlook and phone is I still want to be able to send emails from that address.
Hey folks
I posted this under the general Android Q&A section but thought it would be better here. I am having an issue with my HTC Evo 3D where I am unable to have more than one active Exchange Activesync (EAS) account syncing. I'm trying to have my work e-mail and my hotmail account with push using EAS.
What I have tried:
- Setting up my work e-mail, then my hotmail. Can receive work e-mails instantly, but not with hotmail.
- Setting up my hotmail, then my work e-mail. Can receive hotmail e-mails instantly, but not with my work e-mail.
- Setting up my work e-mail in one mail client, and my hotmail in a separate client. Same issues as above, one receiving push e-mail and the other not.
And here's something funny: If I set up one and then the other in the default HTC mail client, the first one will work with push the but second one won't. BUT, if I then do a manual sync to make the second one "catch up", that second one will start receiving with push but the first one no longer does. I can keep doing this, and it seems like only one can be "active" at a time.
I've tried different clients with the same results, and tried Touchdown which many people recommend, but Touchdown is built to allow only one active profile at a time (so only one EAS account pushing or polling).
I'm beginning to think it's a device limitation on the Evo 3D but it would be great to get around that - I've seen bits and pieces around saying that, due to licencing, iPhones can have up to 5 EAS accounts at a time, and different Android phones can have varying numbers, but haven't seen anything particularly clear or definitive.
Any help would be much appreciated. I'm running stock ROM, ICS 4.0.3.
Cheers
