Hi, everyone, I am new here and I realise my question may be pretty basic to most of you but here goes. I need to change the server settings in Outlook on my Samsung Galaxy A21s. I have input the settings I was given by Sibername and I am in direct contact with them but nothing seems to work. This has been going on for about 3 days now and and I have spent 10 hours today trying to resolve it. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Outlook, and 'reset all settings' and at Sibername's suggestion I have tried different passwords and user names. Their latest suggestion is that 'It could be possible that your phone has cached the password. I would recommend deleting the email address already created, restart your Smartphone after and then try setting it up again using the same setup.' I have just emailed them to ask what they mean by deleting the email, i.e. do they mean delete the account? I have already tried to do that but the account does not appear on the Manage accounts page (only Gmail). What haven't I understood about all this? Has anyone else had similar issues? this is driving me mad!

So, I had both my gmail and hotmail accounts perfectly working with push functionality until I accidentally wiped my cache and data and had to do it again. Now some problems have arisen. I remember when I first set them up hat I found a menu that asked me what days and at what time to have push functionality and when to have it on manual. Now I can't find this menu and I be searched everywhere. Also the email up now only shows up the regular folders like inbox and trash but not the ones I created. And it used to show them before. Anyone knows what's going on?
Hello,
I'm having trouble adding my exchange account. I am able to add the account, but then it just stays on loading and shows up blank. during the setup it doesn't ask to allow remote access for the server. The weird thing is, I have a user who hasn't started yet and was able to add their account to the tab correctly but I cannot add my own. That confirms the settings are correct.
I have my exchange account added without issue to my galaxy s phone and am wondering if having the exchange account on two Android devices causes any issues?
Any ideas before I try a factory reset?
Gone a little bit deeper with this. First off, when I add another user's exchange account to my tab, it will prompt with the dialog to say that the server is able to remotely wipe the phone, etc. However, when i try to add my account, it doesn't prompt for it and just goes straight to the settings. After it finishes and i get to the mailbox, i just says loading, stays blank and doesn't show anything, the calendar doesn't sync either.
I have noticed somethign else, when i use outlook web access I can see the phones added to the account (including the tab) but only when i go to OWA light, if i use the regular one it says no devices added...
Is it possible that activesync will only allow one device per user account? Right now I'm planning to delete the account off my galaxy s and try to add again. If that doesn't work i may wipe the 10.1...
Any idea?
Dear,
I had a similar problem, and could not find any information about this. However, by accident, I discovered that it will work only after your remove your google account.
So I suggest that your remove google account and try to add the exchnage account and see if it works.
But if it does, I don't know what to do later on if you like to add it again.
Good luck.
Yeah, there's no such limitation on the Exchange side. About the only screw that could be an issue is a self-signed SSL cert - which likely isn't one, since you said that another user account had succeeded.
It won't be an exch policy on you either, since it is working with with your S.
With that... blow out the other mail things on the tab, and start with exactly the Exch account as st70 suggested.
Gonna try mine now and see what it does with 2 gmail accts already configured.
Thanks for the suggestions so far!
Note, that the other exchange accounts that were added correctly, were added to my tab 10.1 correctly even with the gmail account already there. I am able to add two other exchange accounts however I cannot add mine one.
I removed the gmail account and tried again, did the same thing.
I removed the exchange account from my Galaxy S, went into outlook web access and removed all my devices from there and turned off the phone. Then I reset the galaxy s to factory default and tried again... didn't work...
Went back to the Galaxy S and could add the exchange account again easily... very annoying...
Note that when I add the exchange account, the first difference I notice is that it doesn't prompt to say this device can be controlled remotely by the server, etc but it does when i add the other exchange accounts properly.
Second, when in email, it just says loading and doesn't load. When I go to calendars, my exchange account shows up there, but when i click on it it says
"No Calendar Available".
The worst part of all this is my my boss has an ipad and was able to add his account pretty easily without issue...
Any suggestions?
I recently solved a real pain of an email issue I was having, and wanted to pass along the experience. I had tried searching these forums for several days, but didn't quite find my problem, and didn't find the solution all in one place. With that in mind, I'm hoping this information helps someone, even if a bit of it may be covered in other threads (sorry if so).
I had upgraded recently to JB 4.1.1, and was having a lot of problems getting my corporate/exchange email account to work. The calendar and contacts would work sometimes, and the email never got past the "waiting for sync" screen. Anytime the calendar and contacts would work, they would break after a reboot of the phone.
I also found that sometimes exchange account would stick around after it stopped working, and other times it would disappear (from the Android settings > accounts list) completely. I had set the accounts up both through the stock email app, and through a third - party email app (Enhanced Email, a good app).
I tried deleting and recreating the accounts, with varying settings (port numbers, accepting all security certificates, etc.). Later on, I went to my company's online web access for Exchange, and deleted all the mobile connections so that it would create a new connection for my current phone and ROM. I recreated the account (for what seemed like the 50th time) after that. Still no good.
The thing that made the difference: I finally read a tip somewhere to force stop the (stock) email client, and clear its cache and data. After that, the email app needed to be set up again, but email synched for the first time since I installed this ROM, and my calendar and contacts work reliably. It's been several days and reboots, and no further problems have come up.
I hope this helps someone, and again, apologies if the information is duplicative. I couldn't find it all in one place, and was really beating my head against the wall trying to find a fix.

Hi there, I think im glad i found this thread although not sure it will help with my corporate mail problem. My problem exists only with contacts not syncing from my corporate exchange account. My mail and calendar is ok just no contacts sync.
You mention to force stop the stock email client, can you advise the steps and exact name of the process? Do you mean in manage apps - All - Email ? I cant seem to stop that process its all greyed out.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, due to my role i really need my exchange contacts to sync.
Cheers,
Hi guys,
My experience is different.
If you have problems to sync your email you need to clear all previous mobile connections from outlook (via outlook web access) and set up your account from zero on the device.
Quick question why do you use a third party email client? Do you have Samsung device? Got the same problem and had to move to a asop (CM10)
Samsung email client and exchange doesn't work well since the original Galaxy.

solution for me
For me what solved was a solution I found in another post here in the forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1774978&page=2
In summary:
"Settings --> Data Usage --> Menu --> and check Auto Sync Data
Try setting up Exchange account again and you'll see the prompt to activate a Device Administrator this time. "
Hey everyone,
I need some help. Since the Gmail app updated to the "Material Design" look, I've had an annoyance when trying to switch between my email accounts. In order to quickly switch, you can tap on the icon for the email address you wish to switch to. The problem is, two of my accounts are using the default Gmail silhouette, so I can't tell which one is which from the menu:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwgHw8RSjQikR0pfYWUyWXhxeFE/view?usp=sharing
For all three of my accounts, I have uploaded a profile picture via the general tab in Gmail settings in the browser. My personal Gmail shows my picture, no problem, but for some reason the other two don't come through. I'm not sure if it matters, but both are Google Apps for Work accounts . Also, I'm not sure if it has to do something with the sync settings, but I have them set up to sync email and app data.
Anyone know how I can fix this?
Thanks,
shingy
I've tried a couple other things and I still can't get it to work. Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks
Wanted to bump this to see if anyone had any suggestions. I've tried several things and I can't get it to work. It is really really annoying. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Hello Everyone!
I have a problem with the Email app since Lollipop update .232 Europe CE1. I have many e-mail addresses, like private and company and other. I added 2 of my email addresses with IMAP and now I cannot add more, because if I want to do it, after the last step it says "Account not found. I might have been deleted.". I get this message with IMAP and with Exchange too (@live.com address). Does anyone have a solution for this? Or I'm the only one with this really annoying problem?
Thanks in advance
Well, it seems I'm the only one having this issue
Great! Maybe .264 update will solve this problem ...
Próbáld meg eltávolítani az összes e-mail fiókot és újra add hozzá. Ha ez sem működik akkor próbáld meg a Gmail alkalmazással, azzal hátha fog
Flashed .264, problem exists, so I give up. Waiting for my company phone next year and then I'll use my company emails on it.

I started having this problem but only after the e-mail app update that sony did recently. exactly the same "Account not found. It might have been deleted." error as you. I've seen similar reports on rom threads too, can't remember where exactly so you're not alone.
Anyway the good news is that i've always managed to get my 4 accounts working (2 gmail / 1 pop / 1 exchange) after trying to add them a bunch of times they finally stick (sometimes 10 tries sometimes more like 50 lol ... i'm really persistant xD )

Hello,
got the same issue. Just deleted my Exchange Account cause I've had some syncing issues. Now I'm getting this message, when I try to create the account on my phone again.
My other email accoutns are working perfect.
Haven't found anything about this issue on the www.
I'm on Customized DE 23.4.A.1.264
You got any idea right now how to solve it?
Greets,

I have no idea about this weird issue. Everything was flawless on 5.0.2, but since then the Email app is just a crap ... I'm on .264 too, but problem still exists. Maybe on Marshmallow ...
Hello,
Yesterday I found a solution for me.
First I made a Backup of my current configuration.
After that I deactivated every app that has to do with mail service.
Like exchange, email, kalender, etc. Also cleared all the data. Then I deactivated the auto sync service.
Now I restarted the mobile. Now activate all the apps again except exchange 5.*
After that I added my mail exchange account with success. Now just activate exchange 5 and auto sync. Get back the other mail accounts with the backup made before.
Right now everything is working for me.
Full wipe wasn't an option for me cause my mobile is encrypted.
N3087
I also got this "account not found. it might have been deleted" error.
story:
I rooted following this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...ck-d6502-03-23-4-0-546-completeguide-t3171219
Did not try the Email app while briefly on 23.4.a.0.546. I am now on 23.4.a.1.200.
I came from 5.1.1, 23.4.a.1.232, D6503 where I backed up several app installs (apk). I happened to also backup the Email-app.
my solution:
I started the Email apk to see what version it was compared to the one I was running.
The same (8.1). I installed it over the existing install anyway to see what would happen.
I had one mail account added at this point.
NOW I could add another mail account!
BUT! When trying to add a second one, the error was back. So I installed the app again and I was able to add another mail account.
This was repeatable. I did this three times.
Thought: It MIGHT work to just reinstall the app you are already running if you get the apk. In my case the versions appeared to be the same.
I did not try to uninstall the Email app completely and then try to add accounts from "scratch".
Strange error with a strange "solution"; or work-around.
Edit: I did not try to add accounts until after I had removed a ton of Sony and Google crapware (my main reason for rooting).
So I dont know if the error is related to app removal.

Hello,
My phone isn't rooted and so I'm not able to uninstall pre-installed apps.
I hope this bug will be fixed on the next update...
SOLVED: Pause the Auto-Sync in Settings>Accounts
Good day to all! I stumbled across the solution (at least for me on my Z3c) by speed reading through all the previous replies and noting what seemed to pop out. Basically with auto-sync still activated the email app can't sync, delete, add, etc (decide) what it should do first. So, within Settings>Accounts tap the top right 3 dots and disable (uncheck) the auto-sync feature. Return to the email app (or I suppose calendar or any app causing a similar issue) and add the account. Once all accounts are added to the app, return to Settings>Accounts to re-enable auto-sync and all works (Finally!). Cheers!

Had the same problem on my Z1 and it worked!!!
Thanks
Problem still not solved October 2016
I have the same problem with Xperia Z1 compact, Lollipop 5.1.1. I have two accounts but can not add the third, same message. Tried re-setting, clearing cache, didn't help. Autosync was already unchecked.
Seems to be a Sony problem, haven't seen anything on www about other vendors.
Any solutions other than rooting the phone or third party apps?
Thanks!
PS Sony has marked their threads as "solved" while it definetely is not. Little white lies.
