Hi,
I have recently bought a HTC Hero in India and its simply awesome. For last 10 days i am going through various forums/posts online to find the best apps & workarounds for my phone.
The company I work for does not use Microsoft exchange server for mails/calendar instead uses its own imap server for mails/calendar.
I was wondering if any such app is available which can read my calendar events from that server and sync it to my phone calendar.
For mails, i am able to use IMAP/POP3 syncing capabilities of my phone.
Thanks a lot,
Akhil
Hey Community,
I have an HTC HD running WM 6.5 and a HTC Magic running froyo. The HD syncs all sms via active sync with the exchange server.
Is there an app for android that syncs SMS with my exchange server?
The latest version of touchdown does it ...
I've also suggested it as a feature for Handcent on there forums!
thanks man, works fine now
Touchdown can only sync inbox, other folders can not sync even I selected them to sync.
So I want to use Samsung email client for my other phone,
I extract email.apk from /system/app,
But it can not be installed on other phone,
Just show installation failed.
I tested on HTC, Motorola, all are rooted Android 4.0.4.
Is there any limitation from install this Samsung email client to other phone?
Does anyone know way to sync multiple calendars on one MS Exchange account?
I have couple of calendars (personal and for work) on my Exchange account. After I add the exchange account from settings it only shows the "main" calendar on my account. I'm using the Samsung EMAIL app that came with the phone.
Tried searching google but no avail. So I wonder if this is possible with the default app or some other app?
i would like to know the answer as well, i am looking for the same solution. any help would be appreciated
+1. I think I could probably sync my hotmail calendar with my Gmail calendar as a workaround to get my secondary calendar to my phone, but on all my Moto droids, I always had the option to sync all of my corporate & hotmail activesync calendars - not just the primary calendar. On the GS3, I only have an option to sync the primary calendar.
+1. Just can't believe how bad the Exchange (or ActiveSync) sync support is, even with 4.1 (JellyBean).
One idea: with OWA, you can "publish" each of your calendars with an URL ending in .ics. However, I have not found an app yet that successfully subscribes to that ical-Files. With other systems, it is easily possible to use those .ics URLs...
the RAZR supposedly has a better Exchange support. Can someone port that?
one workaround for the multiple calendar sync from Exchange:
1. in Outlook Web Access (OWA) goto Calendars. Share your desired Calendar(s) to the Internet (but not publically)
2. Install the app ICSSYNC
3. feed the URL(s) from the shared-OWA-calendar to ICSSYNC.
Done. Nuff said.

This is only an option if your Exchange Admin will allow calendars to be shared. Is there another option? What amazes me is that iOS handled this without any issues for the past few years, but somehow, this has not made it in to Android yet? It makes me feel like I'm taking crazy pills.
I've got two Exchange accounts set up and working on my SGS3. Everything syncs as it should, though I had to add them twice to get them working.
JB isn't impressing me much so far - slow, buggy, drains the battery, has wifi issues, crashes without any apparent reason every now and then... but Exchange sync works (for now, at least).
Unfortunately, this is not implemented in Android: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=52270. Vote for the issue!
Another option is to load the app Touchdown by Nitrodesk. I am syncing multiple outlook calendars using it.

There is another workaround which I have not tested yet.
It is from the code.google.com bugtracker above:
----------------
Use outlook.com app.
The Outlook.com app does sync the calendars but it does nothing for tasks. I have tasks assigned to two calendars in the same account. Calendars sync but tasks do not. In fact no tasks are synced with this method. It must be just pure calendar functionality.
------------------
Give it a try guys. I am pretty sure Android 4.3 won't be better in terms of Exchange calendar and tasks support!
To sync all of the calendars in your Exchange-type account, you have to use CALDAV (what iPhone uses as a successful workaround to Microsoft's bloaty-buggy ActiveSync which is what Android uses)
CalDAV-Sync Beta is one such CALDAV enabler. It will sync all of your calendars to the default calendar app. There are other CALDAV apps, but I have not used them.
You will almost certainly have to ask your IT rep what the correct URL is for your CALDAV access.
You'll have to add shared calendars using yet another URL, which will be unique to your installation. Ask your IT rep what the URL is.
This way, you can avoid paying Microsoft for an ActiveSync license. That's $3 / seat this year. In other words, Apple provides a better sync experience by going the cheap route (and avoiding Microsoft's trash).
For Kerio email servers, the shared calendar URL is https://domainname.com/caldav/users/domainname.com/user-name/
for resource calendars it's:
https://domainname.com/caldav/users/domainname.com/resourcename
and for all of YOUR calendars:
https://domainname.com/caldav
Those are kinda standard URLs...
You can find domainname.com by looking up your MX records in DNS.
To set up an Android device the same way that iOS devices do "Sync":
1. Set up email using IMAP (not "Exchange")
2. Set up calendar sync using CALDAV
3. Set up Contact sync using CARDDAV
I'm kind of surprised that no one has created an account settings app that sets those up for you... It is certainly possible to do this in software.
What you gain by going w/ the Apple method: multiple calendar sync + multiple contact folder sync.
What you lose: Tasks, Notes, and Categories.
Things might have changed with android 4.4: http://liquidat.wordpress.com/2013/11/11/android-4-4-now-can-sync-multiple-calendars-via-activesync/
Does rooting give me any access to be able to sync multiple calendars?
multiple Exchange calendars under 4.4?
How is it with multiple Exchange calendars under 4.4?
I tried to use them on my Note2 with 4.4, but it looks like it does not work.
Even with Android 6.0, there doesn't seem to be multiple calendar support using Outlook.com/EAS. Meanwhile, iOS and, of course, Windows Phone handle them just fine without using third-party apps.
My Note 3 with cyanogenmod 12.1 / android 6.01 does sync all my exchange calendars. I used open gapps, and that came with Google Exchange Services 6.4.123892212.
I also have a brand new Huawei 7 Lite with Android 6.0. I installed Google Calendar on this one, and only the main calendar is synced. I installed the same Google Exchange Services version via APK, to no avail. Only the main calendar is visible.
What other components are there that are involved?
Sorry for the necroupping
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

Hi all, new here and since Microsoft Outlook mail claims it's a Samsung issue and Samsung never answers, I hope anyone here knows what to do.
I use Outlook mail, and I had it always installed on my Samsung Galaxy A5 2017 mail app. It automatically synced my contacts and calendar also on the Samsung stock apps. Very convenient.
Now, however, it stopped working. I tried reinstalling it, but it constantly gives the message that it cannot connect to the server. I CAN set it up as IMAP, but that's obviously not what I want as it won't sync contacts and calendar.
After Microsoft claimed it was a Samsung problem I tried to set up the Outlook account via active exchange sync in the (terrible) Gmail app. Same result: cannot connect to the server.
I have used various configuration settings, incl. manual set up (eas.outlook.com, m.hotmail.com, etc.) and obviously the password is correct.
The Outlook app I now had to install does not sync calendars and contacts, by Outlooks own admission (seriously....?) so that's no option.
I want to simply connect my Samsung stick apps again to active exchange sync as it has always done. And Microsoft says its not them...
Anyone has any suggestion?
thanks!
Bart
