Hi,
I have recently bought a HTC Hero in India and its simply awesome. For last 10 days i am going through various forums/posts online to find the best apps & workarounds for my phone.
The company I work for does not use Microsoft exchange server for mails/calendar instead uses its own imap server for mails/calendar.
I was wondering if any such app is available which can read my calendar events from that server and sync it to my phone calendar.
For mails, i am able to use IMAP/POP3 syncing capabilities of my phone.
Thanks a lot,
Akhil
Hi all,
I am looking for a email\contacts\calendar package. My primary requirement along this front is that I need access to two Exchange acounts (each on a different Exchange server, one of which is my own).
Moxier mail, I thought, would fit the bill - but it will not do multiple accounts unfortuantely.
Touchdown, apparently, will do multiple accounts - but each account must be in its own profile, and you can only have one profile working at a time.
Any other suggestions?
George
Well for email I have been using K-9 Mail it is a really a pretty powerful email client that is completely free.
For calendar I use Clearsync's Android App. It is a pay for calendar service that has a focus on security but also being able to share.
Both programs can access exchange/outlook.
Moxier works very well and has exchange support.

modembug: Moxier does work well, however - I did say I required multiple account support, which it does not have.
I know Microsoft recently released the Hotmail app for Android. Can someone tell me if the app supports Hotmail's new category feature? Basically categories is the same as labels for Gmail.
Does anyone know way to sync multiple calendars on one MS Exchange account?
I have couple of calendars (personal and for work) on my Exchange account. After I add the exchange account from settings it only shows the "main" calendar on my account. I'm using the Samsung EMAIL app that came with the phone.
Tried searching google but no avail. So I wonder if this is possible with the default app or some other app?
i would like to know the answer as well, i am looking for the same solution. any help would be appreciated
+1. I think I could probably sync my hotmail calendar with my Gmail calendar as a workaround to get my secondary calendar to my phone, but on all my Moto droids, I always had the option to sync all of my corporate & hotmail activesync calendars - not just the primary calendar. On the GS3, I only have an option to sync the primary calendar.
+1. Just can't believe how bad the Exchange (or ActiveSync) sync support is, even with 4.1 (JellyBean).
One idea: with OWA, you can "publish" each of your calendars with an URL ending in .ics. However, I have not found an app yet that successfully subscribes to that ical-Files. With other systems, it is easily possible to use those .ics URLs...
the RAZR supposedly has a better Exchange support. Can someone port that?
one workaround for the multiple calendar sync from Exchange:
1. in Outlook Web Access (OWA) goto Calendars. Share your desired Calendar(s) to the Internet (but not publically)
2. Install the app ICSSYNC
3. feed the URL(s) from the shared-OWA-calendar to ICSSYNC.
Done. Nuff said.

This is only an option if your Exchange Admin will allow calendars to be shared. Is there another option? What amazes me is that iOS handled this without any issues for the past few years, but somehow, this has not made it in to Android yet? It makes me feel like I'm taking crazy pills.
I've got two Exchange accounts set up and working on my SGS3. Everything syncs as it should, though I had to add them twice to get them working.
JB isn't impressing me much so far - slow, buggy, drains the battery, has wifi issues, crashes without any apparent reason every now and then... but Exchange sync works (for now, at least).
Unfortunately, this is not implemented in Android: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=52270. Vote for the issue!
Another option is to load the app Touchdown by Nitrodesk. I am syncing multiple outlook calendars using it.

There is another workaround which I have not tested yet.
It is from the code.google.com bugtracker above:
----------------
Use outlook.com app.
The Outlook.com app does sync the calendars but it does nothing for tasks. I have tasks assigned to two calendars in the same account. Calendars sync but tasks do not. In fact no tasks are synced with this method. It must be just pure calendar functionality.
------------------
Give it a try guys. I am pretty sure Android 4.3 won't be better in terms of Exchange calendar and tasks support!
To sync all of the calendars in your Exchange-type account, you have to use CALDAV (what iPhone uses as a successful workaround to Microsoft's bloaty-buggy ActiveSync which is what Android uses)
CalDAV-Sync Beta is one such CALDAV enabler. It will sync all of your calendars to the default calendar app. There are other CALDAV apps, but I have not used them.
You will almost certainly have to ask your IT rep what the correct URL is for your CALDAV access.
You'll have to add shared calendars using yet another URL, which will be unique to your installation. Ask your IT rep what the URL is.
This way, you can avoid paying Microsoft for an ActiveSync license. That's $3 / seat this year. In other words, Apple provides a better sync experience by going the cheap route (and avoiding Microsoft's trash).
For Kerio email servers, the shared calendar URL is https://domainname.com/caldav/users/domainname.com/user-name/
for resource calendars it's:
https://domainname.com/caldav/users/domainname.com/resourcename
and for all of YOUR calendars:
https://domainname.com/caldav
Those are kinda standard URLs...
You can find domainname.com by looking up your MX records in DNS.
To set up an Android device the same way that iOS devices do "Sync":
1. Set up email using IMAP (not "Exchange")
2. Set up calendar sync using CALDAV
3. Set up Contact sync using CARDDAV
I'm kind of surprised that no one has created an account settings app that sets those up for you... It is certainly possible to do this in software.
What you gain by going w/ the Apple method: multiple calendar sync + multiple contact folder sync.
What you lose: Tasks, Notes, and Categories.
Things might have changed with android 4.4: http://liquidat.wordpress.com/2013/11/11/android-4-4-now-can-sync-multiple-calendars-via-activesync/
Does rooting give me any access to be able to sync multiple calendars?
multiple Exchange calendars under 4.4?
How is it with multiple Exchange calendars under 4.4?
I tried to use them on my Note2 with 4.4, but it looks like it does not work.
Even with Android 6.0, there doesn't seem to be multiple calendar support using Outlook.com/EAS. Meanwhile, iOS and, of course, Windows Phone handle them just fine without using third-party apps.
My Note 3 with cyanogenmod 12.1 / android 6.01 does sync all my exchange calendars. I used open gapps, and that came with Google Exchange Services 6.4.123892212.
I also have a brand new Huawei 7 Lite with Android 6.0. I installed Google Calendar on this one, and only the main calendar is synced. I installed the same Google Exchange Services version via APK, to no avail. Only the main calendar is visible.
What other components are there that are involved?
Sorry for the necroupping
Hello,
When using the default email client that comes with Android to connect to corporate email, the client forces me to use PIN based security which is a hassle. So I used DroidMail and that way I was able to access corporate email without the security hassles. However, the same doesn't work for calendar. I was wondering as to what I should do to sync my outlook calendar to the my default calendar app on my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 or maybe I could go for a completely different calendar app?
