Hi all,
I am trying to sync my HD2 with 2 sources: Work exchange, and gmail.
I need contacts and calendar syncing from both, not only email.
The problem is, that after I setup activesync with my work's exchange, I can't add another "Outlook" type account. There seem to be a retriction for only one account of that type. The IT guys told me it's an Activesync policy and that thei'r not going to change it.
I could setup another Gmail account but thats POP\IMAP and won't sync contacts\calendar.
So my question is: is there a workaround for my situation?
If not a way to bypass the policy, is there an app or something other then activesync that will sync contacts and calendar in a different method?
Thanks.
someone...?

Hi all.
I am looking for a solution with Exchange.
What do I need: to have XPOutlook emails synchronized in WMInbox(offline messages via ActiveSync) AND access to Exchange server simultaneously(new/online/not synchronized yet with XPOutlook messages). There is a problem,when I synchronize Exchange and XPOutlook,all messaes are moved from Exchange to XPOutlook,so when I setup Exchange access in PDA,I see just new unread emails,if I synchronize XPOutlook via ActiveSync with PDA,I see each other messages. I do need both of them in my PDA.
As I found,I could have either Outlook or Exchange folder in WMInbox,but not these both together. So I got an idea,to synchronize WMInbox with XPOutlook and for Exchange access to use an external app.for WM. So the question is,if there exist something like this,or how to have both accounts in WMInbox?
How is your Outlook connected to Exchange? Messages should be present on both locations, not either.
Outlook downloads all new emails from exchange,emails are collected in PC side pst and afterwards they are deleted from exchange.
Is that what you want (or what the admin forced on you)? Are you using a POP3 connection? If you are using an Exchange connection (MAPI), then your local mail store is in sync with the Exchange online store.
What's the Exchange version and what's your Outlook version?
Outlook is v2007,others I don't know,but I think,the company is mostly up to date. Problem is,that I cannot do anything with Exchange. Well,no POP3 nor IMAP protocol is used.
I have a situation where I have to setup my phone to sync with 2 exchange accounts that both use the same email address and same user name but different internal domain.
When I set up the first account it all looks good operates as expected, when I setup the second account it seems to merge the 2 active sync accounts into 1 as there is still only one 1 account listed on the phone but I do get syncing from both sites which is what I want for email at least.
The problem is syncing contacts and calendar events. The phone syncs with both accounts at different times and contacts appear and disappear all the time. Because the 2 accounts appear as 1 I cannot separate out the settings to stop syncing with 1 of the accounts for contacts and calendar events and leave 1 as the main sync account. When entering contacts you never know which exchange server the info will end up on.
How can I separate out these accounts? Why is android treating them as the one sync account?

What you can do is create one account with Microsoft Active Exchange and the other by Exchange. I have the same account configured by these 2 works individually one for default Email app and another for Enhanced Email App. I had to do this cause of some issues with activesync with MS Exchange Server 2010 which my company runs. Do try it out and tell me what happened

What is the difference between Microsoft Active Exchange and Exchange?
How are these setup on the phone? I only see exchange activesync.

When you click on add account in settings-> accounts and sync there is am option for both exchange and active exchange. Exchange is the native settings from froyo times active exchange is the one introduced in ginger bread. Both use delegate drivers and are hence independent of each other. You can configure the same account via both these settings and it works fine.

I would like to trial this with the emulator I have setup. It is running Android 2.3.3 but I seem to only have the active sync option.
Any way to emulate this before putting into production?

You could use a mailing app which uses Exchange drivers. Enhanced Email is one that i know of and am using.
IMAP?
You could also set up the second exchange account as only an IMAP connection, only syncing mail, not contacts, calendar or tasks. Use primary account for that.

It's strange, but I want to sync only calendar and contacts with my work account (Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync account).
In my old HTC Wildfire, under Settings-Account, I was able to choose what items I want to sync: calendar, contacts and/or email.
But with my new SGSII I can only choose calendar, contacts and task.
I can't tick or untick the email mark, it isn't.
It works well, syncing my email, but I don't know how to deactivate email sync and go on with calendar and contacts sync.
Does anybody know how to do this, is the diference the android version ? (if the cause is the version, what about ICS ?
Thanks a lot.
Anybody ?
Thanks a lot.
Hi all! I'm considering getting the Galaxy S III. It will be my first Android phone. I'm coming from an HTC HD2 (non-Android ROM's). I have some questions regarding how well the S III works with a Microsoft Exchange Server.
Contacts
1. Assuming I have no contacts on the phone, when I input my Exchange credentials and sync, will this populate the Contacts on the S III?
2. If I have multiple Exchange accounts, can I choose to sync contacts on one account but not the other?
Mail
3. If I have multiple Exchange accounts and a Gmail account, are all of these in one Inbox or do you have to go to different screens/apps to access the different accounts?
4. Does syncing of mail work instantaneously, i.e. if I read/delete an e-mail on my PC, will it immediately reflect on the phone?
5. Do you get "push" e-mail?
Calendar
6. Can the phone handle multiple exchange calendars and a gmail calendar?
Tasks
7. Are tasks and syncing of tasks supported?
Thanks,
Bump. Anyone?

1. Your contacts sync as long as you check the option off.
2. I only have one exchange account so I dont know the answer on this.
3. I have my gmail account set up using the gmail app so I don't know this.
4. Immediately as long as you have pushed enabled.
5. Yes, as long as you enable it.
6. It can handle my one exchange calendar and gmail calendar so I believe so.
7. Yes.
Hi,
Is there a method to sync Exchange GAL to contacts? Maybe a plugin for a new account type to sync it?

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.
