Hello All.
I have a strange problem, whenever I setup my MS Exchange on my Galaxy 10.1 Tab, it gets stuck trying to synch and shows a message "loading" for hours without showing any email messages.
I have done many different things including factory reset a number of times!! and did not work. When I tried other email applications, it worked.
By accident, I discovered that I had to remove my gmail account and then add MS exchange account and then it worked!
However, when I add my gmail (google) account for Market, it stops working again.
Can anyone suggest a solution or a workaround to have both google and MS exchange work at the same time?
I have p7500 with XXKI1 fimware.

Anyone else having problems getting the native HTC email to sync correctly? I have an Exchange account and 3 IMAP accounts and the IMAP accounts will not sync on a regular basis. I loaded up Enhanced Email and it works fine.
I checked as many setting as I could and all appears to be set correctly: wireless networks all set to never sleep, background data and auto-sync both checked
I can keep using Enhanced Email but it's aggravating that I can't get the HTC app to work correctly.
Anyone have any ideas?
I figured it out. When I first got the phone and went through the setup I got a 504 gateway error. I also got there 504 gateway error when initially trying to set up my email accounts. Called customer service and they said to skip out of the setup and do everything manually. She said there was a glitch in the software and that the Gmail and Yahoo account setups didn't work and that all accounts needed to be set up through the IMAP process. Needless to say this is what was causing my problem.
To correct the email sync issue I deleted all of my accounts and set them up through the Gmail and Yahoo account set up process and all appears to be working now.
I am having the same problem so I just tried this option of setting up my yahoo accounts through the set up process. It does appear to receive email much faster but there are some downsides.
My Yahoo inbox (on the website) and the inbox on my Rezound are not completely synced now. The app has the option of downloading up to 30 days of email. Mail older than 30 days doesn't show up on the phone even if it's in your inbox on the website. Conversely, email that I deleted or moved from my inbox some time ago has now magically reappeared on my phone.
Another problem is that my mail folders that I set up on the website do not appear on the Rezound mail app anymore.
Seems the negatives are too numerous to have better syncing. I'm switching back to the manual setup as all the problems I mentioned above are not there and I'll just put up with poor syncing for now.
Having hard time searching for answers to this due to the fact just about every thread has these keywords....
Here is my situation:
- Dinc2 running latest stock, rooted.
- have had for long time no issues. Received new phone due to warranty issues.
- setup google account and all is well, it is running just fine.
- within Settings>Accounts and Sync I see various accounts (Facebook, weather, etc) and 2 Google accounts (square icon with lower case g, not the gmail icon/account). 1 is for my gmail.com account and 1 is for my corp email (which uses gmail). So all is well.
- I took picture on phone and tried to send it from the gallery via the share icon and selected the gmail option in the list (note sharing via messaging (txt) has worked without issues forever). This brought me to setup of gmail account (I recently turned on 2-step security within google/gmail) and it asked for the application specific password. I got that setup and finished it just thinking it was using the gallery app to send the email so that is why it asked again.
- Once I did that I received email from VZW stating my email account (gmail one) is now setup with VZW, etc, etc. Now I typcially don't use the VZW backup assistant and don't go through any setup of email for VZW (maybe it happened in the background don't know but I have never done that didn't see that notification from VZW before). I know what this is from VZW just not sure why it happened when it did.
- Now when I go into Accounts and Sync I see my 2 original Google accounts, but also see a new Gmail (gmail icon with red M) for my gmail account. So I essentially have 2 'gmail' accounts setup on my phone within the accounts and sync area.
- I only see 1 gmail account when looking at my mail, but have noticed some emails not making and getting notifications saying the gmail account is not setup properly. I click that notification and then click finish setup and it says all is well.
- I tried deleting the gmail account (with red M icon) but it says I can't as it is used by other services on phone.
- I have gone to the VZW site and removed my gmail account from their 'server' and turned off backup assistant on the website as well (was never turned on, on the phone). I don't believe this should be an issue as I shouldn't have to use the VZW 'web email' setup they provide to customers to consolidate emails and provide web access since gmail already does that for me.
Anyone know what may be best way to resolve this? Do I have to have VZW 'web mail' setup? Should I plan to restore phone and again just setup the initial google accounts and just plan not to try and email from gallery and just use the 'attach' feature within the gmail app instead if needed?
I have tested emails from my phone and it seems they work for the most part, but it seems everyone once in a while they fail with that notice the gmail app is not setup properly (and suspect this is VZW screwing things up).
Long post, sorry, just frustrating and confusing and figured I would post it in case others have seen this.
Thanks.
I really hope to find some help with the problem. I can see a lot of related questions posted everywhere around the web without a solution.
It could be this is a well known problem and I just have to stop trying to fix it and wait for Samsung or Google to apply some fixes?
The problem is very simple. I have two email accounts: Hotmail and another one coming from my ISP using POP3 protocol (Home -ADSL2).
No matter what I do the Hotmail emails syncing without any problems but the other email doesn't update as per sync schedule. It works only if I sync it manually.
I have to add while my phone had 4.1.1 firmware I had both accounts auto-syncing.
Another thing is I tried enabling Auto Sync from the phone Settings>Data Usage without much effect. When it worked before, the auto sync was disabled and my Hotmail emails arrive with auto sync disabled anyway.
I really don't know what to try next. Could it be the problem with stock email client and I need to use a different client for that to work?
Thread closed per the OP request
I just got a replacement phone, and installed my exchange account on the phone. I then got an email in the exchange account, asking if I want to sync my SMS with my account. I said yes, but it turns out to be freaking annoying. I have searched, and found instructions to disable it, but the option for SMS Sync is no where to be found. I have removed and re-setup the exchange account, but it doesn't ask me again if I want to syn SMS.
I am on a Samsung S8+ running Android 7.0. I am using the stock "e-mail" app. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Hi all, new here and since Microsoft Outlook mail claims it's a Samsung issue and Samsung never answers, I hope anyone here knows what to do.
I use Outlook mail, and I had it always installed on my Samsung Galaxy A5 2017 mail app. It automatically synced my contacts and calendar also on the Samsung stock apps. Very convenient.
Now, however, it stopped working. I tried reinstalling it, but it constantly gives the message that it cannot connect to the server. I CAN set it up as IMAP, but that's obviously not what I want as it won't sync contacts and calendar.
After Microsoft claimed it was a Samsung problem I tried to set up the Outlook account via active exchange sync in the (terrible) Gmail app. Same result: cannot connect to the server.
I have used various configuration settings, incl. manual set up (eas.outlook.com, m.hotmail.com, etc.) and obviously the password is correct.
The Outlook app I now had to install does not sync calendars and contacts, by Outlooks own admission (seriously....?) so that's no option.
I want to simply connect my Samsung stick apps again to active exchange sync as it has always done. And Microsoft says its not them...
Anyone has any suggestion?
thanks!
