Is there a way to configure the "Send email" voice command to use K9 mail? Would an app like Vlingo provide this option?
When I use the built in voice command and say "Send email to John Smith", it loads the email address, listens for and fills out the body of the email, then prompts me to send. When I say "Send", a notice flashes on the screen saying "Message wasn't sent." I'm assuming its trying to use the gmail app, but I dont have accounts configured in gmail, and have syncing disabled for the app. I've set K9 mail as my default email app, and configured a default send account within K9 mail.
My device (Asus TF701T tablet) is new to me and new on the market so I'm waiting to root it. (Mainly because Asus won't honor the warranty on a rooted device.) If there's a method to do this, with or without root, please let me know,

Has anyone figured a way around this yet?
I'm trying to setup my accounts with gmail via IMAP, but when setting up a new account (not through outlook), and I punch in the gmail address, it auto-detects settings for pop and won't let me change it.
And before anyone says anything, the checkbox to "don't auto get settings" doesn't exist in the WMv6.1.
The only way I have of setting it up currently, is to give it an email of [email protected], then going in and setting it up manually, but this prevents me from sending email out, only receiving it.
Currently using DCD v3.0.4 if that makes a difference.
Anyone found a way around this or how to set it up yet?
Thanks!
just set it up ac [email protected][COLOR="Red"]gg[/COLOR]mail.com and then change later to "gmail"

make sure you select outgoing server requires authentication (or something like that) and SSL for both incoming and outgoing
what is advantage of IMAP over pop mail?

In short IMAP uses a client/server model. Where all your email is kept on the server and cached on whatever IMAP client you're using. When you delete something on the client, it's deleted on the server too on next resynch. IMAP also supports organized e-mail sub folders (for organizing).
With POP mail, once you download an email(s), then those emails are unavailable to you from other clients you may want to connect with (such as a desktop email client or a different computer), since with POP the email is usually removed from the server on download (unless you have a POP setting to keep e-mail around x amount of days). But POP will have no idea of emails you may have moved/deleted on another client since with POP all that information is stored locally on the client, not on the server as it is with IMAP.
Also, some IMAP servers support something called IMAP idle, which is like a poor mans push mail.

Thank you. thought I tried this before but maybe they changed the "edit" screen.
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...
//Nik
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...

Newbie here having trouble with Remote Tracker 0.4.2-0 on my TMOUS HD2 and haven't found an answer yet. When I send email commands to RT, such as rt2#egp, my phone just sits there in standby and when I unlock it Outlook is open with the email message ready to send. Anyone have an idea why and what I need to do? When I go to Outlook Contacts>Menu>Options I get an error report, "A problem has occurred with poutlook.exe," then comes up with List view settings, that's it, I don't know if there is supposed to be more and not sure if this has anything to do with the message not being sent. Everything is stock except for a few added apps and I just did a hard reset before reinstalling my apps after some experimentation. I don't use Outlook or even set up an email account on phone and haven't made any tweaks I can think of that would effect Outlook.
I also noticed that the CELLID shows me to be in New Jersey when I'm actually in Texas, this doesn't seem to be of much use at all but I haven't tried changing CELLID settings from default.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

I thought commands where you supply an email address (like, rt2#egp#[email protected]#password) would, if so configured, silently without intervention send to the supplied email addy without even having email setup in RT; however, I do have the email account in RT configured; I do not have Outlook, AOL, Yahoo, etc accounts set up in the HD2s mail app (I use Opera to go to my Hotmail account).
In RT's email setup I have only one option under Account, Activesync, is this correct?

no, you need an actual account set up that the phone can use to connect to an outgoing email server with. Just feeding it the email address you want to use is no good, as it has no m,eans to send to that address. Its a bit like giving a man with no telephone your phone number ad asking him to call you.
Choosing the activesync account wouldnt help either, as it would only send when the phone was copnnected and synced to outlook on a pc. (activesync isnt a real account, just an extension of teh outlook account on eth pc)
I am posting this on behalf of a colleague who is having troubles sending emails from different accounts on his phone.
He has several Google Apps accounts, and has configured his Gmail interface (on his PC) so that everything comes in to a single Inbox, and he can "Send as" any one of the accounts. This works fine from his computer. However, when he tries to do this from his Galaxy S2, regardless of which account he chooses to "Send as", it always gets sent from the same account.
For example, he has two email addresses:
[email protected]
[email protected]
From his computer, he can send as either one of these, and the recipient will see the sender as being the account he selected.
From his S2, regardless of which account he selects to Send as, it always arrives from [email protected].
Is this a problem with the phone? Or the settings for the Gmail app on the phone? Or the Google Apps admin settings? Or something else?
I should also mention that I have a HTC Desire, and multiple Google Apps accounts, and I don't encounter the same issue - when I "send as" a particular account from my phone, the recipient sees it as being From the account I selected.
Cheers,
Paul
Greets all,
Was wondering if anyone might have this issue. I setup my phone to grab my emails, I set it up as an IMAP so that this way I could get the emails but keep it on the server, so this way I can download it on my computer into outlook later on. Up until the One max, I never had an issue and always set it up the same way, I recently just noticed that after I read a email and if I delete it from the phone it seems to delete it off the server as well. I tested this out by sending myself an email and then deleting it, then going into outlook to receive the email but it wasnt there. If I got into the server its in the deleted folder and not in the inbox as it should be.
Anyone else notice this?
Well I just tried something else, I just set it up as a POP account, and it works as IMAP, Hmmm I wonder if they messed up and named them wrong, where Imap is suppose to be pop and pop is suppose to be IMAP.
Still curious to see others responses.
When i click Add account, it shows Other(POP/IMAP)
Screen shot attached for your reference, what do you get?
Same thing except I dont have Gmail or Yahoo in the list, just the other three, but thats not where the problem is, its after you pick Other/pop3. Long story short: I have my own email, I set it up through aol a long time ago when they were giving away domain names for free, then they dropped it and I had to get it registered through another place to keep it, but I still can use aol's mail settings in outlook to get me mail. The problem is I can see the email on aol's site, and download it to my outlook, but the first way I set it up on the phone I would see it on the phone and then delete it, when I go into outlook it would say no mail, but if I went to aol's site and looked in the trash it was in there where its not suppose to be, its suppose to be in the inbox to be downloaded to my outlook. But when I changed the setting to pop setting, it is working as Imap should.

Ah okay, i got your problem... i don't know why imagined that you PC was missing IMAP, but was that not the IMAP was supposed to work..., 2 way communication = IMAP
POP vs IMAP
If you're trying to decide between using POP and IMAP, we encourage you to use IMAP.
Unlike POP, IMAP offers two-way communication between your web Gmail and your email client. This means when you log in to Gmail using a web browser, actions you perform on email clients and mobile devices (ex: putting mail in a 'work' folder) will instantly and automatically appear in Gmail (ex: it will already have a 'work' label on that email the next time you sign in).
IMAP also provides a better method to access your mail from multiple devices. If you check your email at work, on your mobile phone, and again at home, IMAP ensures that new mail is accessible from any device at any given time.
Finally, IMAP offers a more stable experience overall. Whereas POP is prone to losing messages or downloading the same messages multiple times, IMAP avoids this through two-way syncing capabilities between your mail clients and your web Gmail.

Okay you missed the whole point here. When I chose IMAP with my email on my phone, and then delete it from the inbox (select and hit trash can) its suppose to delete from the phone inbox, but should show up as new in my outlook 2010 on my pc as new. It doesnt show up at all. If I go to a web browser and login into my email, its in my trash folder and not in my inbox as it should be.
Now if I change the setting on the phone FROM IMAP to POP, THEN is works correctly as IMAP.
they way i have always thought of imap to work is , as the other poster mentioned: 2 way communication.
if i delete mail on the phone (imap), then on my web based email, that same email will be deleted there.
if i move an email from , say, inbox to some other folder on my phone, then on the server it too will get moved there.
this is how imap is supposed to work? at least that is how it has worked for me over the years...
i have 4 email accounts on my own email server. i use gmail to fetch that mail and i also use my web based interface to access it. the mail is synced everywhere its supposed to be.
i have the all set to imap, not pop.

me too... yes that's how IMAP works, i am guessing OP has some little confusion on it..
I do understand this, but coming from a samsung galaxy note, this wasnt the case. On computers it did work this way, but every phone I've had and including the Note did not work this way, this is the first time its functioning this way, which I thought was odd.
