Problem when adding a hotmail email - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there, i am trying to add a hotmail account to my galaxy tab and when i use the automatic setup all i get is ms exchange and i dont want that i already have another hotmail account that i have added before and it worked well ot added a normal pop account, now i tried to copy the settings for the ingoing and the outgoing server and use them, but it always gives me 'could not connect to server' when setting the outgoing mail. Any thoughts why it is doing that? I just want to have a normal pop account just like the other hotmail that i have.
P.s: i know that there is a hotmail app but i dont like it and id really like to use the phones email.
Thanks!

... change sender account while compose!
as suggested, i set K9 as my default mail app now ..tks
but just what i want like Iphone Mail App :
- you have 2 accounts
- you receive mail by account A, read in account A, make un reply/forward in account A but before sending you can change Sending account, use account B for sending (From) ... what we can not do in Windows, either in Androids ...
(I use it always because my corporate mail account don't allow sending mail via 3G or Wifi with unknown IP)
any suggestion else?
thank all,

When you reply to an email in k-9 and want to send the reply from a different account, first hit reply to open the reply and then hit the menu key, then More and then Send as. This will open a list of the accounts that you have set up and allow you to pick the one to send from.
You can also open the settings for an account and under sending mail set up other 'identities' to send from using the manage identities menu item.

HD2 and Gmail

Hello! I set my gmail account at my hd2! When I hit send/receive button to check if I have a new mail, all previous mails on my database dissapeared! Leo shows me only unread messages but I want to be able to view my "old" mails at my database too! What can I do to solve that? Any help please? Im with Energy rom

Use IMAP rather than POP3 should resolve it.
If you want POP3 only option is a software to move mail to another folder within that mail account as it only removes mail from inbox.
I use POP3 & POMO to move my important mail to folders created by me & delete junk or leave it in inbox, works well for my usage requirements.
Thanks but gmail is already IMAP as far as I know! Am I wrong? So what can I do? To set again from the beggining my account and choose IMAP server? In what software did yoy refer to? sorry for my bad english

default setup is IMAP.
when I used IMAP all mail stays present in inbox.
I use POMO to organise mail with simple rules & move mail to another folder in my POP3 accounts so they are not deleted on next send/receive.

I managed to fix that! I didnt use that programm but with many "magic" and with little bit luck I fixed that prob in gmail an hotmail too! Thanks for help

If you gMail set as an IMAP account, you can use it as an Exchange server. In ActiveSync on your HD2, select 'configure server' and enter 'm.google.com'. Use your gMail account details as the user. Remember to de-select calendar and contacts etc unless you want to sync those with Google as well. The advantage of this setup is that you can set the email schedule to collect mail as it arrives. It does use more power so I use it during work hours only.

[Q] which email app do you use and why please.?

Please as title states, which email app do you guys prefer, on the sg2, and why please. I want to be able to use gmail, so jus want to findout what you guys are using, to receive or send your gmail emails. I also want the option to schedule the sync, so your input very much required.
I use the stock Gmail app for my gmail. gmail isn't my primary account so not bothered by any failings, etc.
I use K9 for my main non-gmail personal account. Am very happy with it, can schedule timings and specify a quiet time, when I don't want to be distured by email notifications (i.e. when I'm asleep).

I use gmail and have set it (via the web app) to collect hotmail and another pop3 account, so it's perfect for me as I have all emails in 1 app, and I do like the gmail app!

Apologies for the delayed reply.
I think it's as follows:
Menu --> More --> Settings --> Account Settings --> Fetching Mail:
"Folder Poll Frequency".
Also under the above and within --> Advanced:
"Refresh IDLE connection".
I "think" that's what you're after... to be honest mine has always just worked.
Hope it helps!
i like samsung's email app. Only thing i cant figure out is how to put it to push.
I tried the Samsung E-Mail app but it really pissed me off more and more. You can hardly make any settings, just specify how many mails to load (timeframe) and how often to update, that's about it. the funtionality and look are standard.
I switched to K9 mail again and instantly remembered why I always came back to that app. Not only does my Push work flawlessly for both accounts (one business, one private that collects) without any "premium" account hassle making use of that annoying social hub, but I can specify all sorts of settings like how much data to transfer by default per mail, to load images, and many many more.

to make push work you have to set your mail account as an imap account. to do so you need to make it a premium account which leads you to samsung collecting your mails via the social hub ... I'd recommend k9 mail. looks the same, and you can make almost any necessary setting.
The stock Gmail app does everything I could ask for
I switched to EnhancedEmail when I used to have a DHD as the stock email client didn't sync contacts and calendars probably.
Enhanced did all the syncing perfectly, however, it just did not allow Exchange accout contacts to be created or added (i dont really know if the stock email client had the same problem or not).
With the SGS2, i used EnhancedEmail first, but recently switched to the stock samsung email client - it seems to work flawlessly, albeit, with the limitations to customisations stated by others. I use Exchange (both my my company email and hotmail) on Push, and at that, it is good enough for my usage.

Plus the stock mail app draines more battery then k9 due to being more active or active in the wrong way I don't know, but there is a big difference, at least on my phone.

[Q] Hotmail - Non deletion of email on Server

Hi all,
I have set up my hotmail account on my Samsung S3 however, when I delete an email on my phone I do not want it deleted from the Hotmail server. Is there an option to do this or is it just tough
Thanks
No takers?

You set it on the Hotmail account itself. Log in from a desktop computer and go into POP3 settings - you should be able to find a setting in there that allows you to decide whether to delete emails from the server when they're deleted from the device.
Mmmm thanks for the reply but I have tried that. Seems once you delete them from the S3 they are deleted from Hotmail also. On most other devices there is an option to stop deletion from the server.
Any other help?
Depends what sort of account you've set up on the phone. If it's POP3, the method I've described above will work - however if you're using Exchange / Activesync, since that sort of account is direct sync, there is no option to leave mail on the server when you delete from the device as far as I know.
That's the one. Thanks chap. Now I've done it I am not sure I prefer the POP3 setup BUT at least I have the option.

Pop3 Mail Account and App help.

Today I was setting the email account of my dad phone. But I am having problems with the smpt server (outgoing server) while I am connected to his home wifi is not problem, because the email is from his internet provider. But for example if hi is connected in somwhere else trough the local wifi the incoming emails enter without a problem, but can not send emails.
Now, there is another problem my dad use thunderbird in his laptop and dont know how to transfer his contact list (address book) to the android phone, right now using Maildroid was easier to setup than mail-9.
Thanks for the help you could bring me!.
Check if the outgoing port is setup correctly. Is SSL enabled? Allowed?
As for your contacts, you should be able to export CSV or vcards and import them into the Gmail account associated with your phone.

I think is nothing about security matter, I think is the smtp. Or it is possible to send email trough any wireless connection?.
I was thinking about cvs, but I dont need to sync with gmail account, could sync just into the phone right?.
