I am thinking about upgrading to the Evo3D now, while waiting for S-OFF. The only two things I really need are A) Tethering and B) multiple exchange accounts.
I hear that you can already tether. How many exchange accounts can you have setup? I need 3.
I have three different Exchange accounts setup, and works perfectly.
Running 2 Exchange accounts and gmail with no issues, includes handling multiple corporate calendars flawlessly.

That's what I needed to know. Thank you very much, the both of you.

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?

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 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.

Hi all,
I can't really believe that there is no email app for android that allows simple and easy copy (move) of emails between two IMAP accounts ?? On the iphone that's a built-in feature. I tried all ROMs here and it seems they all use the AOSP email.apk which does not support moving across accounts, only to and fom folders within the same account.
EXAMPLE:
I have one personal and one business account, both on the same IMAP server but with different email addresses and credentials, obviously. So now I get an email in my personal inbox that I want to "sort" into a subfolder of the business account.
Which email client can do that? I tried pretty much every single email app in the play store, not even the goot ones like Kaiten, Maildroid or Inomail can do it
What now? I can't believe my iPhone->Android transition is being held up by something this basic ?!
Wow, no one has this problem? Is it just so uncommon to have two IMAP accounts?

Forward both accounts to Gmail and write rules to filter to different folders?

Yes I know that's a bootleg workaround but I need "real" imap access, so I can move messages from one account to the other.

I need to transfer email between Exchange and IMAP. I'm assuming I'm going to have the same problem you are? So I shouldn't waste my time downloading all the email apps on the Market to try them?
Shocking that no email client on Android can do what the iPhone 3GS could do in 2010

Well, it can be done. And I did it back in 2010 when I had my captivate and moved from yahoo imap to gmail. I am not positive about this, but I think I used K9.
I had the paid imap on yahoo, added both accounts to the client I was using. I tried several before I got it to work. I believe it was K9 because I also used PGP for encryption.
It is free, so give it a try. I apologize for not being 100% positive. I'm now retired and just use good ole Gmail

I am facing the same problem using K9. I can not see imap folders other than the same account I am copying from. Any other app solving this problem or the settings to do it with K9?

I have had this problem for years. It is actually one of the main reasons why I keep a laptop
Same Problem
I have the same problem and can't believe after all these years there is no solution! This is the biggest obstacle I have to being productive on my smartphone. Still no solution?
I am caught between Exchange and the Android ecosystem. Work uses Exchange and Iphones, I sneak in Android stuff where I can (Desire HD, Nexus 7 and other stuff). All my private life is in google calendar. All my work is in Exchange calendars, which is shared and coordinated with lots of ppl.
Is it possible to make an app (if it doesn't exist) that SYNCS DIRECTLY between Exchange and Google?
What I have found so far:
- If you can install software on the PC where you have Outlook installed, you can use Google Sync. I can't do that
- I could possibly install Outlook on another PC and install google sync, and then have that PC running just for that. But comeon?
- If I use Exchange on the devices, I can see combined calendars, but it is basically just pooling two sources and not sync
- I can add online calendars to Outlook from google, but these can't be seen by others? Or what? Not AFAIK.
- I have tried a few apps for the phone, but none does the job.
- I could accept running two calendars all the time, but that is SO messy. Been trying that for a year now and it stinks.
I really hate this situation. Any ideas? I hope I found the right section.
What I basically need is Google sync for android, instead of merely PC.
I think the solution is in #2. If you don't do it yourself, there might be an online service which would do it, and probably for a fee.
I'm not aware of any application which would solve your problem.
I've ended up keeping all my personal stuff in Google and all my work stuff in Exchange. I have none of my personal stuff on my work PC.
On my phone I use email with my Exchange account and Gmail with my Google account.
I sync calendar, email, and contacts for both account. Calendar shows both accounts and People shows all my contacts.
I have no duplicates (no work contacts in Google or personal contacts in Exchange).
This way I have a unified calendar and contacts yet clean separation of work and personal.

Thanks everyone for your feedback. It seems there is no solution.

Bill,
As I write initially, that is what I already do.
I am not happy with this setup. I work long hours and travel a lot - and my colleauges benefit from seeing my private bookings, when trying to book all day events, meetings that require lots of travel, evening meetings etc. Everyone here has everything in Exchange and I am the only one who doesn't offer this solution. Well I guess the answer is "meh"

It sounds as though you would be better off only using Exchange for appointments and forget about Google Calendar.

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
