Email setting - IMAP - Motorola Droid RAZR

Morning Folks,
i just got my Razr GSM yesterday - ( i bought galaxy note the other day and to be frank i don't like the built quality of Gnote - it's worse now since it got the Razr in my hand!)
my problem is while setting a work email (company name.com) i can't see any messages. the exchange client on my laptop is set to leave email on the server and my bb9900 works fine setting it to imap and no security (port 143).
i tried to set the razr to imap, with and without security, and it still doesn't work.
i tried to use k9, it works on imap but i cannot see the inbox - but i can see other folders !
tried touchdown but its so complicated and it still won't work.
what could possibly be the problem?
is it because i already use the inbox on my blackberry? but few weeks ago the setup works fine in nokia n950 running meego
please advise,
thanks

If your company uses Exchange, you should use corporate sync (active sync) instead of IMAP4. Should work as expected with Exchange calendar and contacts as well.

Still crappy IMAP support?

Hey all,
did I miss something or are we still stuck with the same crappy IMAP support
that was there in the initial release?
I'm using hMailserver and get No Mails although I am getting the folder names
downloaded. This issue was due to the HTC client not supporting IMAP Prefix.
Did anyone solve this or does HTC need a kick in teh behind?
Tried with my Google account as well (which you'd think would work) for testing
purposes and no go...

I'm using two IMAP accounts (one is a Google) just fine.
In the HTC client (not K9)?
How did you configure GMail?
//Nik
The missing folder-path preference has been acknowledged by HTC support, along with a number of other problems with htc-mail. Except from that IMAP has worked well for me, at least with the recent upgrade.
My worst problem with HTC-Mail is that it refuses to display signed messages. That's a big issue with 1/3 of all my incoming messages having GnuPG signatures.
HTC Mail never worked for me, when I configured it for access to a unsecured IMAP account on the local (WiFi connected) network it didn't pull down any mail automatically and whenever I manually forced it to sync it would force close.
In the end I decided resitance was futile and allowed myself to be assimilated into the Google collective. All my incoming mail from all my accounts is now collected by my GMail account, and I access it using the GMail app on the phone (which does push email, unlike the HTC Mail app). The ability of GMail to use multiple SMTP servers and/or set the 'From' address combined with automatic selection of the address to use for outgoing mail means my sent mail still appears to originate from my original accounts.
Stop whining and install k-9 mail. I found the newest 1.006 to really work well. If it had a homescreen widget then it would be perfect.
Did install K-9 the day I got the device, works okay.
My point is, when a device is sent out with an e-mail app
with such crappy compliance, it's sad...
... and to quote you... "If it had a homescreen widget then it would be perfect"
this would be nice...

Looking for email\contacts\calendar package

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.

[Q] Hotmail on stock Email app

Hi all,
I have some question regarding hotmail on the stock email app.
Previously I was using Touchdown to sync and read my hotmail, everything was working except the delay updating the read/deleted emails on the server side. Two days ago it stopped working (mainly a server issue, already resolved), though, and I gave the stock email a try...
To my amazement, it worked almost flawlessly, html email, contacts synced, read/deleted emails updated instantly on the hotmail server... all in my home network.
However, in my work network, it is another story. It never connects to the server, and can't sync anything. Now, I know they (and the firewall) block almost all other ports except 80 at my work network, but Touchdown was working there, so now I have got the questions:
1. does the stock email use different protocol for activesync than Touchdown?
2. if so, is there any way to make it to use a protocol that works in a firewalled environment?
thanks

[Q] Sense Email not syncing

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.

[Q] Native email app is slow with hotmail

Hi,
I have a galaxy s3 - which is the reason I am posting here - and have Android version 4.1.2 running. On 4.1.1 the email client was - in my experience - great. I had 2 gmails, a hotmail and an exchange email address syncing. There were no major speed issues or anything
When I upgraded tot 4.1.2 the sync of gmail when smooth as I expected. Then I tried to add my hotmail using active sync.
All went well and I set up my email to sync for all my emails - which I had in 4.1.1 as well and it is about 15K emails - It started downloading them in batched of 5 from last to newest. Everytime it synced about 20 and stopped. I have push set up and while roaming use the set up config - not manual - It took about 2 days to sync all my mails which I find strange because it didn't on 4.1.1 as well as download 50Kb of the message.
Is this a bug or is it my inbox or what is the problem?
Is there any other app that has combined inboxed for gmail, hotmail en exchange?
Thanks in advance,
Dunky
I don't ever use the Mail app as I have only Gmail accounts so cannot really point out the problem but what I can do is that advise you to use AquaMail (Search on Play Store) and see whether it provides a nicer experience.
Hit Thanks button if I helped you.
Not working for me since I want to use exchange active sync of hotmail: m.hotmail.com - AquaMail only supports IMAP and POP3 neither of them I like
