Has anyone managed to configure an exchange account with Gmail on the 690 LP ROM.
From a fresh install there isn't the option for adding the account.
I have tried removing the system gmail app and exchange2 apk and reinstalling the latest exchange services and the Gmail app from the Play Store.
The account configures fine after this, but only syncs the folders and not the emails. Then it force closes exchange services.
Has anyone got it working properly?
Thanks...
I'm using stock gmail app and email app and they work perfectly.

Hi,
My gmail accounts work great. Its just exchange emails that are the issue. Once exchange services is installed you get a third option!
The folders sync but the no emails arrive!

Are you adding a new Android user profile or just an email account from your existing profile?
Email account to existing account. Looking on Google doesn't bring much joy about Exchange services working on 5.0.2!

I have just got my SII and am trying to connect to both of my Google accounts - my Gmail account is the one I use for trash & Market, my Google Apps account is the one I need for email, contacts & calendar.
It syncs the Gmail account fine, connects to the Google Apps account fine but only shows Calendar & Contacts for sync, the email account is missing. I was using a Nexus One fine with both accounts but the SII just won't see the G_Apps email.
Anyone got any ideas ?
Handset from O2 UK, locked I assume.

That is a bit of a bummer. I use at least 2 Google Apps accounts... Though I'm pretty sure that this sort of functionality comes from the Google stuff, rather than Samsung...
Did you add them both in the same way?

prolly your are forgetting a checkbox... are you syncing both accounts?
in gmail app, under accounts do you see both accounts?
I have both a GMail account and a Google Apps account - both are syncing fine here, showing sync options for calendar, contacts and mail for both accounts.
So must be something specific to your setup - definitely not a SGS2 or Google limitation
Can't work out why this happened, it is working now so it may have been a setting or anything, I deleted the G_Apps account & added it again & it all worked.
Thanks
I use the stock Google email app. I have a corporate exchange account, gmail, hotmail and 2 ISP based accounts set up. Problem is when i install a new ROM, and Gapps, i always have to set up ALL the accounts again.
Ti Backup works well for everything else, but i never keep my email account info.
Anyone know of any way to backup the account settings on the stock email app so they can be easily re-loaded??
I just got my note the other day and when it asked for a google account I just entered my gmail account since that was the first thing that popped into my head. I hardly use my gmail though since I only made it for my cosplay profiles on facebook and google+. I added another account to my phone logging in with my yahoo email since my yahoo email is linked to my main google+ and youtube. Now since my yahoo is linked to youtube and google+ does that count as a google account or does a google account have to be with gmail? I tried to un sync my gmail account from my phone but I was told I would have to put the phone back on factory settings so I just un synced the email part of the account.
When I start buying music and videos from the play store I do not want things to get confusing so since I have logged into my phone using my yahoo account and un synced the email part of the gmail account does that mean any purchases will be linked to the yahoo account with google+ and youtube? Should I link my yahoo to my gmail or would that just make things more confusing? I just switched over from an iphone so I am still trying to figure all this out.
Leave Yahoo mail and just use gmail and all the confusion goes away. Send an email to all contacts about the email address switch and leave Yahoo synced to gmail for awhile until the switch is complete then you can delete it. email accounts are disposable these days.
Btw as to what counts as a google account. The answer is of course a google account :/

whos on first??
just use gmail and link your yahoo to your gmail account, and you can send and receive emails through yahoo via the gmail app... you will have to link the accounts in gmail settings:good:
So linking my yahoo and gmail will just make it so my yahoo is connected to my gmail and I will basically get all my yahoo emails in my gmail account? As for deleting my yahoo won't that mess up my facebook and google+ accounts though as I use that email to log in to them? As I mentioned in my first post I use my gmail for my cosplay accounts on facebook and google+ so if I delete my yahoo email wouldn't I be locked out of logging into my normal facebook and google+ accounts since my gmail is already in use?
You dont have to delete anything. You can keep your yahoo account for emails and user your gmail for the phone.
Also download the yahoo mail app or use the stock email app fpr emails of nongoogle accounts. Simple

Ok so just combine the 2 accounts? And that won't affect my 2 facebook, twitters, and google+ accounts? Even with the accounts merged I can still log into my normal social media accounts with yahoo and my cosplay ones with gmail? Any purchases I make in the playstore will be linked to that one big account? I just want to make sure I absolutely understand before I do this.
To merge the accounts, in gmail I go to settings>accounts and import>send mail as (add another email address you own)> then when the window pops up type in my name and e mail address and un check the alias box, select send through gmail, then send verification.
Use your yahoo as a Gmail account. If it won't let you through the phone I believe you can do it on YouTube. I have a yahoo Gmail secondary account.
Your Gmail account for the phone doesn't have to end in Gmail.com

If you want to keep your Yahoo email address as your main address you can (My google account ends with @msn.com)
Go to google and create a new Account. Use your yahoo address as your username. You'll be able to log in to Google products using this username, just keep in mind that even if it has the same name as your Yahoo account it is a different account.
Once you are all set up with your new Google account add your existing GMail account. From this point you'll be able to log in using your Yahoo name, but Google will say that your default account name is your GMail name. (When I flash a new rom and I enter my Google info I always use my @msn.com account and Android is smart enough to synch with my gmail account).
Now that you have a Google Account and GMail go to your Yahoo e-mail service and set it up to forward all your e-mail to your gmail account (I did this in hotmail). From now on all your Yahoo mail will be delivered to GMail. You can use the Gmail app in android to view all your mail. You can add more e-mail accounts if you want. Doing this all your Facebook, Tweeter, etc accounts that are linked to your Yahoo account don't need to be changed and all the notifications will pop up in GMail.
Another thing to do in GMail settings is to chose the account that will be default when you reply to a message. In this step I chose my @msn.com account. All my contacts keep sending messages to my @msn.com account and they have no idea I'm using Google. When they receive an e-mail from me it looks like if it was sent from my @msn.com account, even tough I used GMail.
Do some research in GMail settings. You can add several accounts and manage them from one centralized location. If you want to differentiate between e-mail received you can always set default labels depending on the account where the e-mail was received originally.
Ok I have enough information I I understand what you guys are saying now. Plus I logged into google play from my web browser using my google+ log in that uses my yahoo and it worked so pretty much all my questions have been answered. Thank you to all of you who helped me out.
I loaded CM 10-201203 Nightly, but I cannot make the email exchange to work. Emails are fine, but the exchange is not working. I tried to clear data from Email and Exchange Services in apps, but there is only a possibility to do this only in Email. Exchange Services has the buttons gray. I cannot set my account at all. I can do it in Enhanced Mail app, but this app does not sync my contacts and calendar. Any help will be greatly appreciated!
I configured a new account to sync my work email and calendar. This results in me being able to use the stock email app, as email syncs fine, but only some calendar entries are synced. I've tried clearing the cache/data, deleting and setting up the account again, to no avail.
If I use a mail client like Touchdown or Nine, that apparently have their own EAS sync engines, then the calendar does sync fully.
What I'm looking for is an app that just provides the EAS service, that would allow me to use the stock email and calendar apps, but I can only find those mentioned above that also have email clients (and calendar for Touchdown) integrated with them.
I'm on a rooted Nexus 4.4.2
