hey guys from prophet forum!
had started this service out to TYTN users and figured i should spread the news around to some of the other boards. if you guys are looking for push email, please get in touch here's what i posted in the tytn forum:
I'm now offering exchange mailboxes to users (subscription based service). right now i see two, one by austindkelly in the wizard forum (he's disappeared for over a month and looks like he doens't offer his service any more) and one by denial in the kaiser section ($5/month). I thought I'd offer up a similar service starting with the hermes group (cheaper of course) with a few extra tidbits of joy...
- supports iphone exchange services, saves a heck of money over apple's mobileme service!
- outlook web access (with the advanced interface)
- 1gb quota
- both SSL as well as standard port options
- *IMAP access* - you don't even need outlook, syncs flawlessly with your phone.
- *MAPI* outlook access - hook up your outlook on your PC to sync with my service which in turn syncs with your phone. no plugging in ever needed!
- alias included (get your own email)
- changing your password through outlook web access (one-way non-reversible encryption).
I figured it's a bit of an overkill having my own exchange server that's serving a single account (i.e. mine). so why not open it up!
Price is $10 for 3 months, $19 for 6 months.
Please PM me if you're interested... I'll probably set up your account within 12 hours (probably less).
And yes, will give you unused credit money back etc etc if you're unsatisfied for whatever reason. I'm really not in this for the money, it's more to utilize something I spent hours building up, plus to cover the costs of my internet / server hardware.
And, as usual, if you need any files hosted for xda-developers just let me know, i'm already hosting over 40 ROM images and serving 5-6gb/day in ROMs from the wiki!
cheers!
free accounts:
will provide 10 rotating free accounts at any given time for test purposes, will base it off of usage. so if you use the free account, i'll keep it up indefinitely, if not then account will be removed after 14 days and given to the next person in line.
Free accounts have 50mb storage, and have no alias, and no MAPI access...
Depending on utilization I may increase this 10 free account limit.
two account requests from a couple of hours ago have been set up - please check your PMs
few people are asking about synching from multiple sources...
from my understanding i can only give you one alias for your accounts, which means you can't select your "from." however you're free to forward as many accounts as you wish to the account i create for you, but you can only send from one "alias."
another multi-synching thing people are asking is whether you can sync calendar with your desktop and email with my service. sure!! its best that way in fact - that's what i do. i have my outlook on my desktop which has my calendar, contacts, and only sync my email via push on exchange to my server... you can even take this a step further and set up IMAP access so what you see in your email client is the same as what you'll see in your pocket outlook... if you delete from your desktop, whoosh it disappears from your PDA too
this is stupid,why you people just sign up in gmail.com and start using all of the above,even better for free???

JAJAJAJAJAJA!!
MAPI (i.e. desktop outlook) access is now enabled
still plenty of resources to use up so drop me a line if interested!
Hi chameleon. I have sent you a PM - I am keen to give this a try. I have read through the thread in Hermes section. Glad you have MAPI sorted now.
Clearly Zeroed doesn't understand the power of Exchange Server!
I read that you are using Exchange Server 2003. Do I presume you have it patched with SP2?
Thanks for providing this service. I will comment here how it works out for me as a Prophet user.

hey richard!
account set up check your PM. yep, using ES2003 with SP2.
quick note: MAPI will be a subscriber-only feature, but i'd be glad to enable it for the test users (PM me) for testing purposes.
cheers!
going to take the server down for about 15-20 minutes this afternoon for a quick reboot and offline backup. planning for 3:00pm GMT. please be patient, hopefully it should be done much much faster!
Hi friend,
Any chance you would be upgradin ExServer 2007 in the near future?Would like to try that out...
hi there,
won't be upgrading to exserver 2007 unfortunately; my hardware doesn't support it
quick question - has anyone here managed to get this to work with outlook '07? if i recall someone had, but someone pointed out that they get an error message saying that this version of outlook has been blocked by the administrator, which just isn't true
updates: outlook '07 started working - user discovered you just need to enable cached exchange mode.
i also have a couple of trial accounts left for those i turned down last week if you're still interested, shoot me a PM
Quick update regarding update in the server!
I know I've had some VERY avoidable downtimes this past few months. Because this is running on a laptop it has been unplugged from the power / ethernet while its been moved.
however good news! I've just purchased a replacement - a nice server
Specs - dual core AMD 5600+ with 2 gb RAM, 820gb storage (for those attachments ).
i'll do the switchover soon as i get the machine, should hopefully take 10-15 minutes as i just need to image the drive across.
once i get the machine i'll push up the trial accounts to 15 or 20 so if you're interested i'll post here when the migration is done and you can drop me a note
cheers!
been getting a few PMs recently about whether i still offer this (maybe its the iphone crowd finding a cheaper alternative to apple's crazy crap service!).
yes i do and i think users can attest to the fact that since the upgrade to the new server been up and running at 100% since june!
drop me a PM if any of you need service. and yes, it is compatible with the iphone - i use it on my iphone too.
quick note - yes there was a 3 hour outage between 5am and 8ish am on saturday; sorry about that. seems my ISP went down, given how short the outage was and how this was the first one in god knows how long i didn't bother spending 1/2 an hour on the phone with them figuring out what the issue was will chase it up if it happens again though!
can someone who has successfully set up outlook 07 with my service PM me with the settings they've used? i need to get some instructions on my site on how to do it, and i don't use exchange 07 myself...
thanks!
UPDATE Now offering Exchange 2010 accounts - fully compatible with latest outlook, html email etc!

Few qns:
1. I know we cannot delete the first Microsoft Account associated with the device, but can we at least delete the email part of it? It automatically created a hotmail email account/tile and started syncing it. I don't want email on my phone, its my primary email and I usually have no security on phone. I know I can disable email sync and it will remove the tile but anyone can re-enable it
2. Is there a way to select only specific people to appear on the People Tile? It allows disabling certain accounts but not certain people (either blacklist or whitelist), I don't want random people checking out my phone and wondering if they've been selected to specially appear on my home page! Can it only display certain "Favourites"?

Resolved, Thanks
3. The status bar shows no indication of whether it is connected to 2G or 3G network (Data is disabled so can't use the E/H icons), is this normal?
4. The Settings>Mobile network Highest Speed settings does not show a 4G option, I only have 2G and 3G
5. Marketplace does not show all the available on the home page (of the Marketplace or on the live tile), if I goto a specific app, THEN it shows the update and also reflects this on the home page and live tile.
For your qn #5, I've experienced the same.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2046856
I was rigorously researching this and someone elsewhere seemed to suggest that this is deliberate and the Microsoft provides an option for the developers to do this. i.e There is a time lag between when they become available and when the actual notifications are pushed out.
This did not seem intuitive. The only reasons I can think of this happening are:
1) Pushing update notifications out to all instantly would cause mass damage in case of severe bugs, this way they know only a few hardcore users will check the app individually and install it and they have time for a pseudo-beta test.
2) The update notifications get pushed from the server and this server is only polled/or pushes them at certain times a day or week.

New feature in Windows Phone 8: Groups!
http://winsupersite.com/windows-phone/windows-phone-8-tip-share-only-certain-people
Make a group with the people you want to see/interact with most often. Pin THAT to the Start menu. Only those people show up...
When you tap the tile you are taken to the group, but you can still swipe over to all people easily, so it still gives you access to the full people hub.

Settings, email + accounts, Microsoft account, content to sync, uncheck Email.

I knew about that but it allows anyone to re-enable it at any time without re-entering the password, that's hardly ideal. But I am currently using that as a workaround anyway. Thanks for the help
Also thanks for the Groups suggestion, will use that workaround.

I know this doesn't answer your question, but can I ask why you would not have any security on the phone? You can always have pin number set-up.
However, I can see a case where you have to hand over your phone to may be family and you don't want them to go through your email.
A non-ideal solution is to set-up a separate MS account for the phone. Of course, this means that you'll leave all your other stuff (Xbox gamertag, calendar etc) behind and have to start over again.
Hi -
Android Device info:
Android 4.0.4
Samsung Galaxy tab 2 10.1
I am trying to image and deploy 500+ Samsung Galaxy tab 2 10.1 devices. The requirement is, that the 500+ tablets configured and provisioned with the relevant applications for the end-users before delivery...December 31st 2012 - :crying:
I have been manually creating gmail accounts for each device via WiFi since I am not sure of a better way. Now I am starting to notice that some tablets have an error message "Your account has been disabled." Would Google disable these new gmail accounts because they are coming from the same IP address? I am so worried because I can not afford to lose any of the gmail accounts since they are specific to each end user.
P.S.
I am installing a mdm - SOTI
I found a thread discussing Android mass deployment using an "update.zip" if anyone could help me do this I would be willing to pay. I don't see anyway I am going to make this deadline doing each one manually. I was just laid off from this company, but brought back on as a contractor to assist with this last minute project. I would hate to lose this opportunity since its the only one I have.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions
Should I provide additional info?

Hey did you ever get a solution to this?
Guys,
I'm setting up my mother-in-law's new phone.
I don't seem to be able to add birthday, anniversary dates, etc to a contact unless I link all the contacts to Google; something I don't want to do.
Any ideas how to do this without attaching to Google?
TIA
Edit: Got an answer/suggestion elsewhere. http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/help/adding-birthdays-to-contacts-t2833770
HI all, I have been a follower of this amazing forum for quite some time now. A big thank you to the forum owners, mods and all concerned parties for the effort, information and forum.
I need help this time around. I have a XIAOMI MI 10T. WITH GLOBAL MIUI 12 ROM, running Miui 12.0.5.0., android 10.
Can some one please help me, to install either xiaomi's MI apps or a working third party or google alternative apps to Google contacts, Google Dialer, and Google Messages(SMS) Apps? WITH OUT ROOTING MY DEVICE?
It would be really awesome to have them back.
Problems I face with factory installed google apps are,
1.my contacts are not allowed to get saved on my device.
2.google dialer's call recorder self defeats the purpose it exists for. No video calling Built in.
3.google's message (sms) app is way too slow in searching through the contacts when I need to send a message and IT JUST DOESNT have an option to share a Contact in TEXT format, only mms is allowed for some reason.
4. Post DEC 2020 security update, non of the alternative apps from the google's play store work without bugs, or without solving the above problems.
HELP.
I even tried contacting google apps developer team, as per their developer contact email Id left in the play store (Which is, [email protected]). the automated reply said
Hello,
Thank you for contacting Google.
You have emailed to an address that is no longer being monitored.
To get help, Please visit http://support.google.com/
I do not know who else to contact for help regarding this issue, any pointers or help would be great. thank you.
