Hello,
Currently we have our work phones set up for a corporate email and all the contacts with it to however what if i want to add a contact that will not sync to my corporate account. On my phone I can add a contact to corporate or phone only, not sync however my co-worker does not have "phone only" option. Why is that? Both of our phones were set up at the same time.

Hello,
Just exchanged my iPhone 3S for a Atrix 4G yesterday and I love it.
But I'm very concerned that there seem not to be any simple way to sync with Outlook one of the worlds most common email and contact manager?
This is the first phone in a very long time starting with Treo 650 that will not sync directly with Outlook.
I'm using my phone in my business and need my Outlook sync so this could make me return it and get a iPhone 4 instead that will sync w/o any problems.
Is there any simple way that I have missed?
use manual settings and create an IMAP account?
How do I do that? My Outlook does not let me change from
POP to Imap?
If I only could sync my contacts I would be happy
For Corporate Exchange sync'ing, I paid for Touchdown. Works like a charm!!
For personal outlook account on my local computer, I use MyPhoneExplorer, and MyPhoneExplorer client on the Atrix....also works like a charm.
Hope this helps.!
The Atrix comes with Corporate Sync already installed. Go to your App Drawer -> Accounts and create a new Corporate Sync Account. I have mine set up and it syncs my calendar, contacts and email pretty much perfectly. You set it up using the webmail address and your login information, easier than I expected actually.
export all your contact to csv file and import back to ur gmail account, it will sync immediately
The Corporate Sync setting built in works. I had contacts synced within 5 minutes of getting the phone.

Yeah, but its too ugly in my opinion. And anyway, I desperately needed to sync my corporate Task-List as well. With Touchdown, the interface is awesome, and it syncs tasks/to-do list, and it also offers multiple widgets for each one of these components.
But for some, the free sync included in the phone is enough..
Syncing with Outlook directly is a terrible method. You should be syncing with the email server, either with IMAP or Exchange sync if it supports it. Who is your provider?
Either way, you should switch to Google Apps
I added a corporate account (just for syncing the calendar, not corp email) last week and ever since "Email" shows up as using about 15% of the battery. It was never on the list before as I never used any Email accounts. I wud just use the native Gmail app.
When adding the corporate email account, I put the settings as how often to check "Never" and Number of days to sync to "One" (just to be safe). And yet the Email service is running and using up battery. This is on my Nexus S 4G running Cyanogen Mod 7 (Gingerbread).
Any advice on how to stop this service permanently or what settings to change so it does not check for email (with my corp account am pretty sure).
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.

I've got a question, and I'm not entirely sure this is the best place to put it. But here goes.
My company provides email services for several other small companies. This email system allows you to access email using pop3 with Outlook, your mobile phone, or webmail.
We have had no problems with this before when using mobile mail applications. Recently a company we provide services for got all new Samsung GSIIIs.... we've had issues with them since then.
So, for example... one customer has outlook set up with pop3 and also mobile mail set up with pop3. The webmail is also using pop3. So when the mobile device is synced and has all of their messages, I send a test email to the account. If I go to the message on the phone and delete it, it stays on the server and can be accessed on outlook and webmail later on. If i go to the message on webmail and delete it, it deletes off of the phone AND webmail, but not outlook. It will not save an email to the phone,,,, EVER.
It's as if the GSIII is using a mail app that just uses the webmail server settings, and only syncs with the mail server... or something of the sort.
We have it set to keep the message on the server, so that's not the issue.
This ONLY happens on the GSIII, we have tested the same accounts having the issues on iPhones, my droid RAZR, other windows phones... I'm at a wits end on this one.
I've also tried using K-9 mail app, same results.
I have Outlook account where I keep all of my contacts, calendars and e-mails. I have had V20 and V30 and I was able to sync those with no problems. On V60 there is no native calendar app and no way to sync contacts with the native Contact app. I can use Outlook app, but all SMS will have no contact labels as they do not contacts associated with them.
I called LG but they do not have any answers yet. I cannot believe that I would be the first one with such problem, but as it is the phone is absolutely useless. Does anyone have similar problem, or found a workaround?
I am on T-mobile and it is the T-mobile variant.
OK. I made it work. Apparently, you have to add account and select Exchange. Do not enter e-mail because it will tell you hat your Outlook email is personal and not Exchange. Click manual setup and then enter your info. The imap server is outlook.office365.com
Should not be that hard, you would think. Now off to music player.
