Hey All,
I have an issue with corporate email on my android. Short version, the company I work for uses Gmail as our client. They support Iphone and Blackberry because the platform is secure. They do not support Android.
I am desperate to keep my Android and use it for my corporate email. Is there any way to make this happen?
Second, I can access my email by using the chrome browser on my phone, but, this is without notifications and does not auto update so I have to constantly log back in, very annoying.
Any help would be hugely appreciated.

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.

Anyone else having trouble with the stock email app? Its brutally slow and freezes the whole phone. The problem is that it syncs with the stock calender app which I need. K9 mail does not as far as I know. I wish it was possible to remove our replace the stock email app with a newer or older or fixed version or something, but I don't have root and I don't know how to without it. Any suggestions for this problem or similar experiences?

I was having issues with the stock email app. Any message I would send from my phone it would stay in the outbox and not actually send the email. I would try manually pushing the email and that would not work. My suggestion is to try enhanced email from the market. I have been using it for a week now and the customizations above the stock email are worth the price. I believe you can Google it and download a free week trial version from their website.
You can try other mail clients but if you are using your phone for work and connecting to an Exchange (or exchange-like) ActiveSync server, take it from someone who is not only a heavy email user but also the email co-admin for a 5000 user environment, Touchdown by Nitrodesk right now is the only fully functional non-buggy exchange mail client for Android. If you are only a casual or occasional email user then Enhanced Email is ok, but still has a lot of bugs. I have a lot of experience supporting everything else out there (Including a few hundred Blackberry Enterprise users, and iPhone users) and right now Touchdown for Android is the only stable one that has feature parity with a real corporate email client.
Having said that, the stock mail client on CM7 is a lot less buggy than Samsung's, HTC's or Motorola's. So if you really need to use stock for some kind of calendar integration or because your favorite widget only supports stock mail and you are comfortable with flashing custom roms then CM7 give a try.
Hi, i'm really new to all this root/cwm/flash thing, i hope i am posting to the correct thread. It seems that the stock email client will not work on unNamed rom, probably because social hub is not installed. It just won't set up the account. (I did install social hub using the addon provided by the unNamed, but didn't work, social hub won't add any account for that matter) Gmail does work. I just wanted to point out this issue, to see if someone is having the same situation.
Sorry, i'm a complete noob.
Right guys, I've been told you're the boys and girls to go to to sort Android stuff out, so, here I am with a few q's please.
I started another thread about sync'ing MobileMe with Android and after more research it does seem possible - albeit with 3rd party software.
BUT it won't be possible to Push MobileMe emails, iCal and Contact updates.
Has anyone one here found a workaround for this? (other than me setting up a GMail account )
I want to move away from most things Apple - but due to work reasons need my Mac Pro and my MobileMe account. But a One X or S3 would be much better than an iPhone for me
Sorry guys for the slight bump, but does the silence mean Push is not possible for MobileMe?
Isnt that for apple?

It is, but I have a MobileMe email account, which I really can't afford to lose. Therefore I need to be able to use my Mail, iCal and Contacts with Android.
If it's not possible, I'll unfortunately have to stick with my iPhone... or go through the painful and risky task of changing my email to Gmail!

Yes you can.. I also use Mobileme with my HTC Sensation 4G.
You can download K-9 mail and set your MobileMe account using Push email.
Also you can sync your Gmail Calendar and Contacts with your MAC... just make sure you set your calendar/contacts preferences to sync Gmail... you have an option in each app to check... type your gmail account and that's it!!

Since i bought this magnificent phone I am having problems with getting this work with my iCloud account. I can confirm that it is working through thunderbird, but now via stock Mail app. Any suggestions or just Apple is blocking Android?
You should look at the logcat, Java is usually quite verbose when it comes to exceptions. Might give you at least some idea where to look.
I've noticed that my iCloud email is running a lot slower on android over the past week. If I delete an email on the computer then open it p on the phone and sync I takes a while for it to actually update the email list. It still works and I get my mail and can send it just takes a lot longer than it used to.
iCloud email accounts (.mac and. .me) use dynamic mail stops. If you can pull the server settings from Mail.app you'll have better performance, not perfect, but generally speaking the account won't work with non-Apple apps.

Has anyone had to use intune company portal on their android devices?
My work is requiring that we download this program to our phones in order to read email and see our calendar.
I really don't care about the email but I want to can be able to read my schedule/calendar.
This program encrypts the phone, and I am told that I won't be able to take screen shots, they have access to all of my files and they can wipe my phone whenever they want.
I also have to use a digital password which is a pain because I want to use my thumbprint.
Does anyone know how I can get my calendar without having to download this cumbersome program? Thanks!
Mike
The digital passwords aspect is not accurate. We had this rolled out, and I can still use my fingerprint. Calendar though is a pain. For a short while, the Samsung Email app worked with the corporate email outside of the Company Portal space, but it has now stopped working. This is very frustrating.
