For anyone looking to use the Nook for enterprise... I have found an OCS client and ripped it off my phone and verified functionality on the NC! (NOTE: this file is free on the market but as I could not seem to locate it on the market on the nook I had to do it this way.) Anyway Here is the link!

OCS...as in Office Communication Server? Nice - but this device is nowhere ready for the enterprise, beginning with the fact that we still can't get People (Contacts) or Calendar working on it yet unless we use something like Moxier.
And Moxier has serious limitations as well.
hmmmm good point! Ill have to work on this!
Would Touchdown work? It includes calendar and contact.
Touchdown didnt want to work correctly for me... Moxier seems to work fine though.
You can try the new android application Alync which support OCS, MSN, Yahoo Messenger and Gtalk. You can get it from the market.

OK...
So I've got 2.1, got it rooted and until I have the time to get rid of that horrible blue I thought I'd give Timescape another go... First up, big fail on the call log, but maybe they'll sort that with the next update later this year...
Then I had a look at using the standard e-mail so I would have my mail in Timescape. I'd been using the gmail app and moxier (for my exchange account at work). After playing around I've got two questions:
1. I had read that the android e-mail app supports exchange in 2.1 but it won't accept the details from my work server. Has anyone got an exchange account to work with the standard mail app? Or has SE decided we don't need this because we've got Moxier?
2. This may be pretty simple, but I just want to move an e-mail from my inbox to a folder.... is this not possible, or am I an idiot? (these aren't necessarily mutually exclusive )
EDIT: I read up again on this today - the active sync support is in 2.1, but it is up to the manufacturer to implement it due to licensing costs (google doesn't want to be giving microsoft money now, does it ) Which means we're stuck with moxier. All I really wanted was one calendar with everything in it (exchange and google) but the only way I can see of doing that is with a desktop sync, and we don't have desktop access to our exchange server as it is hosted (terminal server or active sync only...)

Hi,
I'm also afraid of using Moxier for Exchange sync and it's normally a "no go" for me.
But I don't have the update in Germany right now so I'll wait....and sell it after updating
I don't know why they (have to) use Moxier, but the integration has not taken place.
No merge of Moxier and X10 calendar! No Moxier widget that can be used instead.
But I think that there are not much people out there who miss the "integrated" Excange sync.
I've played with two other devices and I intend to change.
You can try K9 or ShangMail. Pretty cool apps for push email.
Gunawan, GN Multimedia & X10i
Oh well, thanks anyway guys. I guess I'll just have to keep things as they were...
Since I need to have MS Exchange Server support, I use the default program Moxier. Se has ripped out the native support of Exchange in 2.1 so I am still stuck with Moxier.
Does anybody use Exchange and has a better alternative than the default Moxier installed?
Theres touchdown but its pay for and I think its quite expensive:

Hm sounds allright. If it works, 15dollar is not that much.
I have a hosted exchange account and use Moxier. It works fine, but is has it's disadvantages. So I was wondering if there was another app, like Moxier and more integrated with the Google Android mail/calendar/contacts.
Thanks for your reply though, I will have a further look.
Anybody found a Tablet style email app (like the WebOS one or the Galaxy Tab 7 one) that works well on CM7 alpha?
I need exchange account to work as well...
Please share, thanks
Need this too.
I tried to install some samsung email apks but I was not successful.
Kaiten .. looks really nice both in landscape and portrait.
And on a side note greader has 2 panes and on a tablet looks alot better than the stock google reader app
Looks very good. I like it.
Kaiten looks perfect! I'll give it a try

Kaiten is definitely a good candidate here. However, it's worth pointing out that it doesn't support recent Exchange servers (anything newer than Exchange 2007, I think).
I've used it successfully against Gmail, though you'll want to remap some of the IMAP folders (sent, drafts, spam, etc.) to the correct ones for Gmail (or whichever mail system you're using).
Look for the notion ink adam email client (is not on the market, but lok for the apk on google). It is VERY similar to the webos client (and it supports gmail push and exchange)
(It is called Mail'd)

I'm going back and forth between Kaiten and Gmail. Not too thrilled with Kaiten. Unwashed looking for "Mail'd" and nothing came up. :-\

Are you talking about the beta email client that's been floating around the g-tab forum? It works fairly well on cm7 on the g-tab, it should work for the Touchpad. I can't remember if it had exchange support though.
Check this out (I have not tried it yet): http://rootzwiki.com/topic/6629-dual-pane-email-app/
I want a different email app, but also need Exchange 2007 support.
Here's a demo of Mail'd:
Looks like you can get it from here

How about k9 mail, it's free on market.
Installed k9, entered my work email info, played with it for one minute and quickly uninstalled. It doesn't appear to me to have anything that beats the stock app.
Completely agree. Actually the best I've seen is the stock app. But I'm primarily a Gmail guy.
Has anyone gotten mail'd to work? I flash it with success in recovery but no app appears on the tablet.

Why did you flash it through recovery????
Look at your PM and I'll send you the APK, just install it as any app
Works great for me. No portrait mode. Im always in landscape unless an app forces me. Just thought I'd mention it.
Anyone else having trouble with the stock email app? Its brutally slow and freezes the whole phone. The problem is that it syncs with the stock calender app which I need. K9 mail does not as far as I know. I wish it was possible to remove our replace the stock email app with a newer or older or fixed version or something, but I don't have root and I don't know how to without it. Any suggestions for this problem or similar experiences?

I was having issues with the stock email app. Any message I would send from my phone it would stay in the outbox and not actually send the email. I would try manually pushing the email and that would not work. My suggestion is to try enhanced email from the market. I have been using it for a week now and the customizations above the stock email are worth the price. I believe you can Google it and download a free week trial version from their website.
You can try other mail clients but if you are using your phone for work and connecting to an Exchange (or exchange-like) ActiveSync server, take it from someone who is not only a heavy email user but also the email co-admin for a 5000 user environment, Touchdown by Nitrodesk right now is the only fully functional non-buggy exchange mail client for Android. If you are only a casual or occasional email user then Enhanced Email is ok, but still has a lot of bugs. I have a lot of experience supporting everything else out there (Including a few hundred Blackberry Enterprise users, and iPhone users) and right now Touchdown for Android is the only stable one that has feature parity with a real corporate email client.
Having said that, the stock mail client on CM7 is a lot less buggy than Samsung's, HTC's or Motorola's. So if you really need to use stock for some kind of calendar integration or because your favorite widget only supports stock mail and you are comfortable with flashing custom roms then CM7 give a try.
Hi, i'm really new to all this root/cwm/flash thing, i hope i am posting to the correct thread. It seems that the stock email client will not work on unNamed rom, probably because social hub is not installed. It just won't set up the account. (I did install social hub using the addon provided by the unNamed, but didn't work, social hub won't add any account for that matter) Gmail does work. I just wanted to point out this issue, to see if someone is having the same situation.
Sorry, i'm a complete noob.
Hi all, I have a HTC HD2 which is running fine, but looking at Android, I reckon my phone could be even better.
Why do I use Windows Mobile ? Simple, I'm dependent on Outlook on my laptop. This is my work tool, and I cannot go without my email, tasks, calendar and contacts. No compromise. And I use pop3 with my own domain.
Now, the only thing that prevents me to switch over to Android is ActiveSync, or an equivalent, that would sync emails AND calendar AND contacts AND tasks.
As far as I know, that's not possible. I found various apps to sync calendar/contacts but NOT emails. Or vice versa.
Am I correct in this statement ?
And no, I do NOT want to sync over the cloud using Gmail (let alone an Exchange server which I can't afford). I want to keep it as it is : pop3 to and from Outlook, then sync via USB/Bluetooth.
If there's an app out there, bring it on !!!
Thanks.

I am ex winmo (4 phones ago) and think you will find it very hard to go no cloud.
The best solution I could then recommend would be to run a local mail server on your laptop and then sync over your wlan. You could do this using a receive only function on a nix based mail server.
Lot of effort... sorta like re-invemting the wheel.

Did you try apps from Google Play store like Maildroid or K-9 mail or Touchdown Exchange? I use maildroid and email syncs just perfectly. The stock email app can sync mail and calendar !
Looks like you're stuck with WM since there isn't an equivalent for Android or IOS. My first smartphone was a WM6 device and I wasn't impressed. Pocket IE is garbage, thank goodness for Opera Mobile and Mini. WM6's constant memory leaks meant rebooting my phone almost daily if I opened any apps. ActiveStink may be well and good for heavy Outlook users but for someone who just wants to transfer files to and from PC not having USB mass storage in WM6 was a BIG MINUS.
Here's the cherry on top - WM7 & WM8 phones will not be compatible with apps you purchased for WM6 so your phone is already obsolete.
I guess you can do as maskslash suggested or find another contact/task management tool on your that does the equivalent functions which also works with other smartphone OSes.
Or upgrade to WM8.
Otherwise your WM6 handset joins Symbian users - stranded on an desert island.
Well you have the best phone out there if you want to dual boot Android and WM. Android and others all rely on the cloud these days, there really isn't anything out there like Outlook/Activesync anymore.
Thanks for all your replies guys, you've confirmed what I thought. I'm actually looking into getting MsExchange somewhere, but it sux Outlook-USB-WM is no longer an option.
Cloud may be good for western countries etc but currently I live in Asia-Pacific in remote areas where Internet is at best 128k, when it works. POP3 and local sync is the only option for me.
Oh well I guess I'm a dinosaur then
What are u waiting for

Not until you show me I can sync Outlook using USB...
Then I'll get a new phone.
Theres plenty of 3rd party solutions out there like this, but you'll have to try it for yourself to see if it works.
