Having hotmail as my primary email, every time I send an email from the phone it shows up as my hotmail username and NOT my display name. For example, instead of showing up as from "John Smith" it shows up as "jsmith". I have not had this issue on any other phone including Galaxy Nexus, S2, Note, One X and the iPhone.
Would really love any kind of assistance to get this fixed!
Thanks!
well when you set up your email through the phones application for it you had a choice of what you could have you name as if you delete the email account and do it again look out for the white bar where you can change your name.

I cannot find a spot to do this as I'm setting the hotmail account as exchange for syncing / push purposes.
can you not just delete the email account you have set up on your phone and type it all in again it should come up with a space where you can pick what you qant your name to come up as when people recieve emails off you and things like that

On Exchange this should be typical. Would be better to use imap.

You could've put hotmail in the title so I would know in advance that I don't care. Not that I didn't love the suspense
This seriously doesn't seem like a big deal, especially since others claim its because you haven't configured it right. None of my contacts (professional or personal) would give a **** if it only showed my email address.

I'd be okay if it showed my email address but it only shows what precedes the @hotmail.com - looks cheap. I've deleted and configured the account multiple times to no avail. Works with the same settings on a variety of phones.. Just a piss off.

Has anyone worked this out?
It's been an issue with Samsung stock email since day 0. Generally I try to use ROMs with AOSP email, but I really like my current ROM except for that!

Hi
I have a question for you - how do I get contacts to show in the address book from an exchange server.
Emails are sync'ed, but can't get contacts to show
Im not sure what exactly it is called in english, but I should be able to show something like "globale contact list". On HTC Desire I can go into "Corporate" and see the contacts, but on SGS2 I dont know how to show contacts at all.
Any help?
Thanks in advance
Noone at all?
Corporate Address Book App
Its one of the basic functionality that should have been a part of the stock s2 email app but unfortunately its not there.. Tried searching for it and most of the apps are either paid or of no use..
This so far is the best available free app for the purpose, using it for around 2 months now:
market.android.com/details?id=net.vivekiyer.GAL
or
code.google.com/p/corporateaddressbook/
Thank you very much. Looks promising
Exactly what I was looking fore. Thx

Why not use Touchdown for Exchange?
Anyone recommend a "one size fit all email app" like the iphone, for Att S2?
I'm using Exchange, yahoo, gmail. I have lots of folder in my exchange mail and the stock Mail is sux.
Moxier mail is good but only have 1 email acc. I need an app that can put all mails in one place and showing folders instead of coupel apps for emails.
Thanks
I use Gmail for all of my accounts. I set Gmail up to retrieve (pop) mail from my Yahoo account and my other email address forwards to Gmail. I have labels set up, which allows me to organize it. I've been doing this for a while and it works really well.
What about Exchange, all folder will show or i have to go settings and choose specific folder to view? it's a pain in the bu.. . I really like the way iphone's emails handle.

I've never used Exchange, but if you were able to successfully configure it for pop retrieval, it'd work just as your other email addresses, in terms of how you view them (outlined below). Otherwise, perhaps forwarding is an option. For the email address I have forwarding, I set up filters (scans incoming emails for defined rules) to apply labels (e.g., when the sender or recipient is ______, apply this label). It's something you'd have to toy around with, but I've gotten mine set up pretty well.
All emails would show in your Gmail account inbox (with labels on each one, if you've done this) and you have the ability to specifically select a label to only see mail with that label. This is something you can do online or on your device via the Gmail app (viewing individual labels). I've tried just about every email client and I've found that this method is what works best for me.
Good luck.

I was set up like this as well for quite some time - and it worked well. Recently switched to using maildroid, which I like, but haven't customized to get more functionality than I had with gMail yet...
What's wrong with the stock mail client? Seems really nice to me. Should support all of those account types and you can switch folders very easily.

Back in my Captivate days, I found the stock email client to be unreliable. Ever since then, I've been avoiding it.

The problem is with stock email. My folders didn't go in order some + subfolders.... Moxier mail gives exactly the folder in order like the outlook also display the number for new email....like the MS Outlook in computer.
I just reinstalled Moxier mail and use stock mail for yahoo, gmail also. Oh well, no choice

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
The stock email client is very nice and seems to work very well with Exchange. From what I've seen so far:
1) Tasks will sync
2) Folders are supported, much nicer and easier than with the Captivate
3) Flags are supported
4) Various display options such as first line preview, threaded emails, etc
5) Out of Office settings can be made from phone.
6) You can search emails on the server, not just those on your phone
7) In landscape it'll do a preview pane on the right-hand side. Not bad.
Try it, you've got nothing to lose. Seems pretty nice so far. The only thing I am missing is the ability to "check" multiple emails and take an action on a group of them (e.g., delete them all). You need to do it one-by-one. But so far it works well.
Anybody know if the stock email client can be set up for "push only" so it doesn't poll every x minutes for new mail?
Another vote for enhanced email. You can bypass exchange security rules

Enhanced Email is what youre looking for. I'm a huge Exchange user and this program easily integrates and works just like it does on iphone. You can choose which folders to keep in sync and it will notify you whenever a new message arrives in sub-folders.
The only problem I have with the stock email app is that you can't "Select All" and delete. That capability, and the ability to forward emails by clicking on several contacts and adding them , as the stock program does, are two features I really like; however, I can't find an email program that has both capabilities.

I installed Enhance email. However, it looks alike stock mail (may be I haven't explorer it much). I do like Moxier mail because it's giving me the interface just like Outlook (folder is in order same as my work laptop). Unfortunately, Moxier mail only have 1 account. Wish i can add other acc then it should be PERFECT
Ok...maybe I'm LATE getting to the game on this and everyone already knew this but me. But I did a search and couldn't find it.
While trying to figure out the ever-popular fb profile/contact/picture sync issues with ICS, I discovered a way to actually sync TWO (yep count em--1, 2) fb accounts!
What I did was enter credentials for ONE fb account using the regular Facebook account settings and then added the second credentials using HAXSYNC.
I really isn't that difficult and BOTH accounts can be displayed in the contacts app. One under HAXSYNC and the other under fb.
Makes sense?
This is GREAT for me to be able to have this "feature". There is probably an app that does this anyway...idk.
I'm running IMM76D.UCLE2+TheUnofficial_FJMod-B5 by the way...
Only STALKERS have 2 Facebook accounts.
Joking. That's pretty cool though. I never even thought of it.

But what about accessing/posting to facebook from the two accounts? Does that work?

One is my PERSONAL account for family and friends and the OTHER is my BUSINESS account for business partners, acquaintances, etc..so I use them both daily.
You'll have to post to ONE account via the APP and the OTHER will have to be via the mobile/web site.
I linked the fb account that I wanted to get my notifications from to the APP. The other one I log on to from the mobile fb site.
Mail for exchange using your company email doesn't work in native Email client works in gmail app.
Phone signal is very dodgy and both my phones had severe call dropping issues, no its not my network!
Confirmed by Samsung they have any other issues with it too eg mails not syncing on corporate acs using google apps, huge bug with cell reception
Samsung told me that the phone was tested in Korea and not anywhere else they didnt see these issues cos in Korea they didn't test the email bug for providers abroad.- duh, stupid excuse!
Dont buy if using for work emails it's the worst phone for it and ofcourse for the signal and battery issues rapid discharge lasted only for 6 hours MAX
I had 2 and sold them both cos I got so frustrated trying to set it up.
My corporate exchange account works perfectly in the S III`s mail (not GMail) client.
There is, however, one feature that is missing from the S2, which is the ability to sync the Notes from my Exchange account. With the S2 I`d write notes in Outlook and then they`d automagically appear in the S2. With the S3 the S-Memo apps replaces Notes and it`s quite useless in that sense.

Can't say anything about emails as I only sync mail on my tablet. But you're wrong about receptionband battery life. Reception is just as good as the S and S2 for me with no dropped calls so far. As for battery life, I can get over 5 hours of screen time with a total up time of 20 hours with regular use consisting of browsing and gaming.

Perhaps not in your firmware or your particular configuration.
In the LF6 (or was it LF2?) it works fine sync'ing to an Exchange 2010 Server via activesync (exchange push.) At least it works fine for me with my configuration.
Sometimes can be due to OSI layer 9 = user problem. Especially migrated from iphone which they don't understand how to use the system and they started to complaning the phone and follow by provider lastly the manufacturer.

No, he's not a joke. At least one more person has reported that the e-mail client does not work with Google Apps exchange accounts, although on other phones it does. It works fine with 'normal' exchange server accounts.

On my SIII ( Canada, Telus ), exchange email client crashes occasionally. I have lot of rules ( client side ) that move email to folders depending on sender, subject etc. I originally thought that crash may be due to email getting moved to another folder by outlook while SIII's client was still trying to grab it or something... However it will also crash when I am not using my laptop and therefore have no other client reading my exchange email.
Not sure if symptoms you see are similar or something different.
Biggest bug I've seen is insects flying at the S3's screen mistaking it for a truck window.
Maybe you mixed something up or i don't understand something correct, exchange is microsoft exchange and works flawless (at least for me), gmail is another thing which got nothing to do with exchange.
For gmail you got your own dedicated app, no need for integration within the Samsung email app and if you still want to use it there, make sure to use imap and not exchange, because this is only to synchronize to Microsoft exchange servers.
Last but not least, no call problems or signal drops from my side and I'm getting juice for a full day with moderat to heavy use, also it's a bit heavy to title it as serious bug in all s3 only because you and some others can't get it to work.
Edit: just checked it and added my gmail account as common mail account (to get the mails at the Samsung app) works flawless even no need to set a server myself, i would recommend you to read properly and check the matter before moaning something does not work at all devices.

Exchange works perfectly here, signal is actually better than iPhone 4 and SGS2 for me.
I had a DNA demo unit for about two weeks. I was able to add my Live Hotmail and Yahoo! accounts through their respective account types under Accounts & Sync. I liked the DNA, so I went ahead and ordered one. I received it today, but it's not letting me set up my Live Hotmail or Yahoo! accounts. I keep getting a message saying "503 80383: Pin expired." I've read the workaround where you add them using the regular Mail account type, but then you don't get the Live Hotmail or Yahoo! notification icon when you get new mail. You just get the regular Mail icon. I have no idea why it worked on the demo unit, but won't work on mine. Anyone know how to fix this? Thanks!
Don't set them up three "yahoo" or "hotmail" . Use other

Hadn't thought of that. Maybe I'll give it a try.
I had same issue, but it is possible. Set up like this:
Select as an Exchange account
Server: "m.hotmail.com"
Username: your email address
Make sure box is checked for encrypted SSL
There is a lot about this on the hotmail/outlook help site. Good luck.
