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

Not sure if this is an AP5 issue or wether its a windows live or outlook problem but but I can`t seem to add an email account
I hit new account. fill in my email address and password (its a hotmail.co.uk account) then hit the next button. It says "Auto setup founds setting for: hotmail.co.uk To complete setup and download email click next. It launches Opera and tells me all about the benifits of using email on my phone. there is a "try it out" button which opens a text box to add a mobile number but this must be a USA format number as its XXX XXX XXXX.
Tried various formats and never recieved any setting via text message.
Go back to Windows live and there is no new account added
Any ideas people?
No one else having this problem or know how I can cure it?
Its driving me nuts.

This will always happen to the email account that you register to the microsoft live website. It won't happen to the normal email account. You will see that account within windows live only, I think.
Have you tried the manual set up instead of hitting the autosetup button?
I'm not getting an option to setup manually though.
I goto add new account and i have two boxes. Email & password.
it then say hit next to auto setup
err....you don't set up hotmail accounts through the mail application.
Go into the Windows Live application and sign in using that, and Bingo.....Your hotmail account appears in the mail application.
Of course if you have a network branded device without Windows Live installed.....I guess you'd need to find that and install that first.....
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.
Bought a HTC HD2 yesterday and got the ms exchange set up info (servername, domain, etc) from our IT department to sync work e-mails, calendar and contacts over my 3G telstra SIM that I have used for the past 2 years with no problems.
I have stayed up to 6 AM trying to get it to sync to no avail!!!! active sync keeps trying to sync and goes into loops with no positive results...
The thing is once I connect to my home internet via wi-fi my emails start to sync without sweat!!!!
It seems that for some reason my 3G is not doing the job, or is there something I need to enable in the setting!!
I am flying to Singapore early Sunday and desperately need to get this sorted...Your help would be very appreciated if you could please guide me
Thanks
Hanney
Well, personally, I would prefer to use outlook to sync my stuff... I find it's a more pleasurable experience... Maybe you can try setting up outlook to get all your mails from your email, and from there sync?? My contacts are sync-ed through outlook too.. Anyway, I'm pretty new here, so just my 2 cents.. =) Hope this helps man...

Thanks for trying to help mate, but my problem is different.
I am trying to sync (on air) not connected to PC via 3G or GBPRS connecting to MS Exchange - This is a very normal work email set up protocol that for some rason won't work on HTC HD2.

I sync OTA with and exchange server, without issues, had to put in no special settings, have you tried removing and re-creating the setup ..
Also , try just selecting contacts to sync, see if it will sync anything ....
For what I read, direct synch with Outlook is not possible with Lumia 920, I would have to go through the cloud - which I refuse. Is there a go-around available? Please let me know such programs and explain how they work. Thanks for your most appreciated support.

MS Exchange? Hosted or otherwise...
Sorry, I didn't understand what you meant. Can you please ask a proper question? Thanks.
No, you cannot direct sync with Outlook. You will have to use your network connection to sync Mail/Calendar/Contacts. This will all be done through your Microsoft account (formerly Live account) on-line and over the network.
Didn't I say in my original post that I don't want to go through the cloud? I'm looking for an alternate (offline) possibilty - if there is one, please let me know how it's called and how it works.

This is not an easy thing to accomplish. Microsoft is pushing strongly to have you store everything in the cloud. The best solution -- if you're up for it -- is for you to create your own private cloud. You can do this with a "hosted exchange" service; it is still online, but instead of a public service like live.com or google, it's your private calendar/contacts/e-mail.
If you don't want to do that, try this answer from the Nokia forums.
Hi wobblybob,
Welcome to the forum and thanks for posting!
When you are told you can sync a Windows Phone with Outlook that would be correct. What you are really asking is 'can I connect my Lumia to the PC with the USB cable and sync with Outlook offline'. The answer to that would be no.
How you sync with Outlook can be answered in a short and long version. The long and extensive version can be found here. The short version is:
For Outlook 2003 and 2007 install the Outlook Hotmail connector and setup an account for your LiveID, for Outlook 2010 just setup the account and it will prompt you to install the connector. A step by step guide can be found here.
Hope this helps, let us know how you get on!

Thanks for all those links. After reading through their lenthy, very interesting and even emotional contents, my conclusion is that there is no way to synching Outlook via USB or even Bluetooth. Akruto Sync (http://www.akruto.com/get-akruto-sync/) which had been mentioned can't synch via USB, too. Are there any other offline synching methods out there? Please let me know.

Sorry, I kinda thought my response was pretty clear. As of now, no, there is no way to do this. I know, I asked the product group.
Never understood why people still want to do such an antiquaited thing. Cables?!
Youre email comes via SMTP over the net anyway, so security cannot be it. Can it?
And almost all phones will have a data plan.
Intruiged (or not) to know the reason.

Well, I would think it is security and privacy . . . same reason I've had to roll my own cloud solution.
Yes, SMTP is fundamentally insecure, but the primary way information in e-mail leaks is not through interception or snooping into SMTP packets, but rather through hacking someone's e-mail account. If I have all my e-mail stored in g-mail and someone gets my password through social engineering, or just by knowing me really well and guessing "m0nk3y" -- they've got all my info. If however I'm keeping it all offline in my local outlook and syncing it to my phone that way, the attack surface is a lot smaller.
And that's just e-mail . . . outlook also manages calendar, and people may not want their calendar items listed in a google or outlook account, but rather kept locally, again for similar reasons.
From what I understood reading between the lines, you guys are talking about different aspects.
Syncing is always done between the client and the mail provider. In that aspect it is useless to try to sync with your Outlook, which is only an application that manages your mails, calendar and contacts.
In my case, my Outlook has accounts for my work mail (through a dedicated MS Exchange server), my private (through a leased MS Exchange in the U.K.) and Google & Hotmail. The syncing is been done directly at the servers for the exchange accounts, which guarantees a perfect sync between my phone, laptops and desktops at home & office. No clouds involved here, so this is the perfect solution. Downside of having a leased MS Exchange server: the price tag!
Google, Yahoo and Hotmail accounts all go through the Cloud.
If you really want to have a grip on your data, I can only suggest to buy a NAS (i.e. Synology with Mail Server add-on), rent your own domain name, and set up your own mail server. A bit tricky, but worthwhile in the long running

Bringing an old issue back on top
I'm bringing this topic on top again by asking if there has been found a solution in the meantime. What I want to do: Synchronize Outlook and files via a USB cable (or via Bluethooth), therefore NOT going through the cloud. How about if an xda-developper would create an appropriate software (something like Mobile Device Center 6.1 that worked perfectly under Windows Mobile 6.5)?

Nope. Not possible with email. The phone is a first class device now, as that's where the market took the functionality. People don't want to have to sync. Sync bad.
For files, there is no file explorer on Windows Phone. You can copy media to/from the device via USB, but not "files".
Only the contacts can be imported directly to the phone via Bluetoth without any sync with outlook or cloud. For the rest is not possible. For contacts I did this: I saved the phonebook from my old phone, copied to Nokia 6303c and after that I copied it to NL920 via Bluetooth.
All my 1051 contacts was in the phone without problems!
Some of you are plain wrong.
check out HTC's website. The HTC 8X can usb-sync with outlook through HTC sync software.
The Lumias with 7.5 and older can, too, with Nokia Suite.
but the Nokia win phone 8s can't (yet)

thaks for this answer.
Contact sync in the cloud seems enough tricky, as you loose your contacts pictures (I read). personally I just tried to put my contacts on my microsoft account unsuccessfully, having the error "too many contacts" I tried to sync half of them (about 450) and I never succeeded. tricky is tricky.
Till this kind of stuff is not resolved, I'll never get a Windows 8 phone.
With Android, it is also tricky as Google creates contacts on every email you send, and even if you disable this, groups are tricky in google accounts. for example I exported my Outlook contacts to my Gmail account. I lost the contact pictures and for every contact included in more than one group (for ex : friend music medical ) Google creates a new group called "friend,music,medical" , so if I search in friend group, I won't find that guy who is musician friend and doctor. Google is smart, no?
the good solution for me, as I have an Android phone, was to use MyPhoneExplorer that syncs perfectly (I mean all elements) Outlook and phone contacts. this can be done by cable or by WiFi been on the same network with a password.
A program called Akruto sync is the closest solution to this problem. It does not work over USB, but it will work over your local wi-fi connection. Assuming you use WPA2/AES with a strong password, there is little chance of your data being intercepted while you are synchronizing. It basically simulates Exchange ActiveSync on your PC, allowing you to use any mobile device that supports an Exchange account to synchronize with your local desktop installation of Microsoft Outlook. I've been using it for a couple of months now and it works flawlessly. They plan to implement synchronizing of notes in a future release. It is a 100% cloudless sync. As for privacy of cloud-based e-mail, there's always encryption.
The average user doesn't understand the true risks of using the public cloud. Those of us who do take the necessary precautions to protect ourselves. The unfortunate fact is that the other mobile devices on the market have similar native or third party cloudless synchronization options available, and better overall integration with Microsoft Exchange/Outlook. As an example, Windows Phone 8 does not utilitze the categories from Microsoft Outlook, though it synchronizes them in the objects through EAS. As a result, there are a myriad of users who choose a non-Microsoft device simply because it works better with Microsoft products. . Ironic and saddening that Microsoft doesn't seem to recognize this. It's likely the primary reason why all post-WM6.5 devices have trailed behind the competition. It is hurting their reputation and ultimtately results in lost revenue.
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.

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.

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,
