I have a question and hopefully someone can help me out here...
Email / calendar are the most used apps on my phone. As a matter a fact: I have about 6x pop-accounts and 1x exchange account running (perfectly) on my SII - Rooted device.
Now I am looking for a good SPAM FILTER for these email accounts. I searched for this, but there is only one solution in the playstore and that costs a lot.
Anyone a solution for this?
Thanks!

Hey Guys
Just joined the android bunch when the wife got me a new Xperia X10 for my b'day/anniversary. Its awesome and i'am loving every bit of it especially the personalization part of it.
However coming from the iPhone I have a few queries and would be great if someone could help me with it. Have searched the forums and haven't really got any useful info of it (mind you i could have terrible searching skill, btw did anyone see my keys??)
I have two mail id's like most people. One is my personal gmail id and the other is my corporate mail id. I have configured them both onto my phone and I'am indeed recieving all mails without a glitch. Unfortunately I don't have an option of sorts to configure my office calendar to sync with the native app. The calendar option does not exist for the second mail option(The option to sync my personal gmail calendar exists and is working fine).
However while using the iphone3g previously I was able to simultaneously use both the calendars (gmail & corporate) and an update on either of the two calendars from my desktop would show on the calendar.
Question1
Is it possible to have a similar system on the android as well. The backend for my corporate mail is provided by gmail and so is the calendar and everything in it. Someone suggested elsewhere that i could share the calendar to my personal mail and i could use it that way. Unfortunately it not enabled for me and the only option for sharing lets my personal account to see if I'm free or engaged at any time. This would be of very limited use to me.
Question 2
Whenever i receive a mail with a calendar invite on the corporate id, the mail appears empty with a small attachment. Using the preview option on the mail app displays text based data that pretty much random stuff overlaid on the meeting name etc(i guess this is the program info or something). Is there anyway if and when i receive an invite i would be able to add them to my calendar or refuse it right-away etc..
These two queries are the biggest of my worries as of now on the otherwise enjoyable experience. I'm terrible sorry for the long post but thought I'd give as much info as possible.
Thanks for your time and help!!
Cheers!!
PS: Some background info, Phone: Xperia X10i, Firmware 2.1-Update1(India), unrooted, baseband 2.1.54. If there is any other app that would help me do the same(Paid or Free), it would be awesome.
Hi there,
I use my phone in a similar way, I have 4 accounts in my gmail app. 3 corporate and 1 personal. If I can remember back to 2.1 (eclair) you can only have 1 gmail account in that app. Then you have to use the mail app for up to 5 more (not sure about moxier mail, I never used it).
Basically what your best doing is rooting the phone to get it up to 2.2 (froyo) that way use have much more control over what sync's from each account. I would recommend tripnraver's froyo. He has a new 1.2.0 coming tonight. You do have to put up with some minor bugs, but the benefits far out weigh the negatives.
A lot also depends on what type of email accounts they are. Either way froyo is way better for your needs.
If you don't wish to dabble with your new present, wait a few months when sony bring out 2.3.4 gingerbread!
I have had a few close shaves, while flashing my phone but approx 10 roms later, I'm pretty sure it's hard to brick it. Worst case restore it back using the sony software.
Hope that helps.

I don't know if this question is way out of line but... I am just wondering if anybody can fix the gtalk app to allow switching between multiple gmail accounts. It only allows you to use the first account you signed in with your phone. I don't want to use my primary gmail for gtalk and I know a lot of other people don't was well. This has been on the google issues for 2 years! And they still haven't fixed this. I was just hoping somebody here may know how to tweak it..
It is a security issue AFAIK, so that must be the reason why. Still you can try apps like Trillian to sign it with a different account.
Thanks for your advice. I am currently using Trillian but is far from the same. Gtalk has way more options and stuff
hey...i'm having the same problem...did you find something useful.
hi guys.just bought galxy tab 10.1 and it looks really nice.

Whenever i try to add an account(yahoo account for example)i get wrong username or password message all the time.if i try manually i get the messag:cannot execute sensitive command.....
I have setup my email accounts on my Ssamsung galaxy S II without any problem

username on email changing
Hi I have same problem with live mail account, it keeps changing user name, did you solve the problem?
email connection problem
Hi I have the same problem but with live mail. It keeps changing the user name and causing a connection error to come up. Did you solve your problem?
not yet still trying to short it out.very frustrating to be honest
Try this
Hi like you pretty frustrated so went back to basics and onto Hotmail Q&A only to find out I needed to use a different email set up from that I use on a computer as this is a mobile device. Guess that makes me daft for not thinking of that but hey we all got to learn. Anyway set up now using the windows live mail help under setting up email on a mobile device and it appears to be working. Hope that helps.:
thank you for the tips
Is it the same with yahoomail and tne other email accounts?
hi, are you guys using the native Android email client? if so, I would also highly recommend K9 Mail/Kaiten Mail.
Sent from my SGH-T839
yup tryed that too and still getting same problems
Don't know about yahoo but I see there is an android downloadable app for yahoo? Also there is an interesting trail on android forum regarding yahoo email setup which might help. Hope you get it working.
I had a bit of a prob when seeting up the stock email and turned out it was because of user name, You must set up your user name just as it says.
If i remember right (dont have my tab with me now) it ask for your user name and must be
your domain/username
like : earthlink.net/rick
maybe this will help.
thank you i ll try that aswell
Weard though that i had no probs on my samsung galaxy s and its a pain on my tab....
Saw a few threads mentioning there are issues with Gingerbread and outlook e-mail.
Anyone know how to get it working?
I tried touchdown, it helped me sync the calendar, but not the e-mails.
Mike
Some notes:
1: I've been able to get G-mail working.
2: Calendar will sync for Exchange.
3: Tried both touchdown and Moxier Pro.
4: Able to send an e-mail.
5: Have entered appropriate APN
6: Know exchange server will work with other Android phone running Gingerbread.
I found a post on the SE site which seems to indicate a solution.
http://talk.sonyericsson.com/message/40628#40628
Tried contacting my Microsoft Exchange email server admin and he said the solution was specific to a particular setup
and that ours didn't match since we use Cisco routers.
Can anyone explain how the solution in this link is supposed to work? It seems to imply all that needs to be done is make
an adjustment in the MS Exchange server for the SE setup.
However, I don't understand enough of the explanation to understand what really needs to be done.
Mike
Found the answer.
I'm surprised no one else has run into this issue. Issue turned out to be the last thing I would have expected.
My inbox was too big! I never considered this would be an issue since I set the retrieve option for 3 days worth of my e-mail.
There's some sort of issue with the way the sync works. The guys at touch down helped me identify this problem.
Maybe this will save some other poor soul hours of investigation.
Here is a tool that was helpful for testing the active sync connection. active sync diagnostic.
I'd recommend using touchdown to because it can also be useful for tracking down why e-mail connectivity isn't working. They provide a diagnostic log. They also have a very helpful google groups community.

Mike
Hi, no response in Q&A so thought I'd ask here too... hoping there's some kind of solution for this...
Basically, I have an old gmail address that I want to get rid of(or stop using at least) and make a new one, because it's full of so much crap. However, I have many purchased apps from the Play Store, and was wondering if there is any way of linking that data to a new gmail address? Or does the Google Market even have anything to do with the gmail address you use? Any help is appreciated.
