Hotmail and push with Android 2.1 - Hero, G2 Touch General

I've an HTC Hero with the 2.1 not rooted.
I tryed to use the mail from HTC to configure hotmail with push but doesn't work.
I also tried k-9 mail with the same result.
There is a way to make hotmail working with push?.

no solution available for this problem?

I couldn't get it to work reliably either. Worked at first but then stopped and couldn't rely on it. My solution was to send all hotmail to gmail and use it from there, to be honest once I got used to it I wish I'd done it sooner : )

I use hotmail on my 2.2 hero and it works fine. You have to set it up as an exchange activesync account.
Username: your email ad
Password: your password
Server: m.hotmail.com
Make sure the 'accept all ssl certificates' is checked and use secure ssl.
Thats what works for me!

It doesn't seem to work on the HTC Mail client for some reason.
What you need to do is download and install the Stock Google Mail client for 2.1 and set up your Push Hotmail on there and use that as appose to the HTC one. I've got it working on mine and it's full Push mail
You can get the Stock Mail client from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=668043
You'll need to:
- go into Manual Setup
- ActiveSync
- Username: full email address
- Password: you password
- Server: m.hotmail.com
- 'Use Secure Connection (SSL)' is ticked
- 'Accept all SSL certificates' leave it unticked.

This is a good application, configured and work on Push mail. But I uninstalled it because I already have two clients, one "Google Mail " and the other HTC default client. Now I'm using 3 accounts, hotmail,gmail and my office mail on the default client. And it is connected to the mail widget on home screen.
Is it possible to remove default / pre installed Google Mail client. I no more need it. It's just an overhead.
Thanks

HTC Email app not working for Gmail

The last email I received on my Hero via HTC Email app is at 8.46am.
If I sync by wifi or Tmobile 2g I dont get any more emails.
The Gmail app does, my ipod Touch does. I have deleted the email account and recreated but no change.
Any ideas.
Just checked my yahoo account with HTC Mail and this works fine.
Has Google got issues??? I have all the correct imap settings
imap.gmail.com SSL port 993
smtp.gmail.com SSL port 465
I configured a gmail account in HTC Mail and it has been working fine. Only had to enter my accountname (mail address) and password. And HTC Mail configured everything else. Maybe you shouldn't configure your Gmail account manually?
Works fine for me. Both accounts I have set up are refreshed properly. I'd try deleting the account and setting it up again to see if this does the trick.
I have already deleted account.
Can you tell me if the Google email auto account settings by HTC are POP or IMAP?
If its pop3, then I wont be able to view the folders.
What I dont understand is this email has been working for nearly 2 weeks no issues.
Baffled.
Just deleted any did the HTC auto setup. Gmail setup as IMAP will same settings as I did manually, but still the newer messages from today are not showing.
This is really p*ssing me off.
Just come off the phone from HTC UK Technical support. I was speaking to a lovely lady who was very helpful. It took 30 mins but we solved it.
In a nutshell from my laptop I deleted some emails from my inbox , 5 in total out of 13 and suddenly the HTC Mail app was taking ages to sync and then voila.
It appears as if the sync status on the app got corrupted. But all working.
Happy now, and I must say a big thank you to HTC support
Hah, this is weird. I deleted and re-created my both accounts (IMAP) to check if I could reproduce your issue, but they were still syncing fine for me.
Glad you got it all sorted out.

Blackberry connect for HTC Desire

Does anyone know an application to connect to BES (like BB connect) for the HTC desire?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=666635
Hi, thanks for the quick reply, however the link you gave refers to Blackberry Messenger. I'm looking for the e-mail program (connect to my Blackberry Enterprise Server), available today for HTC phones running WindowsMobile, the name is: Blackberry Connect. Wondering if this is available for Android2.1.
can someone help?
why bother with blackberry connect? just connect directly to your exchange server.

we talk about a big company, where the IT policy allows only blackberry connections....
I was using BB Connect until yesterday when I switched from WinMo to Android on my new Desire. What a fantastic phone it is!
Today, there is not a BB Connect for Android.
I got around this by having our IT Admin folks enable my profile on our webmail system to have it push to my Desire. Works perfectly.
If your company allows you to use Webmail e.g. in your browser you enter webmail.<your coy name>.com then you can probably get your mail ok.
Hope this helps - good luck.

can you elaborate on the settings. I can access my work email via owa so how do I get them pushed to phone. I don't want to use the seven application.
Sent from my HTC Desire using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
Here are the settings for the mail client on your phone:
Email address: <your email address at your company>
Server Address: for my coy it is "webmail.<coy name>.com
Domain: <coy name.com>
Username: <the name you use when logging in to your webmail server>
Password: <the same password you use for webmail>
You also need to get this "enabled" on the email server side. I don't know how it's done but my folks did it very quickly. Probably just a check box or something similar.
If you can already access your email via webmail (OWA) then the setting is already enabled or rather there is nothing left to do. In the mail app set up an exchange activesync account with username, password, and the owa address and the software will do the rest. If you want push email and proper gal browsing then you need to look at apps such as touchdown, Moxier mail, or k9. Currently trialling touchdown which is working like a treat thus far...

thanks works a treat. I was not aware that you could do that with owa.

Yeah - so easy when you think about it. At my workplace people were saying it was impossible to get work email on the phones unless you had a Blackberry. Considering we didn't have a BES and only Exchange that didn't make sense to me.
After mucking around with ISA server etc. I realised what the BB users were doing - a classic 'D'OH!!!' moment. After that it was plain sailing...

Yahoo! IMAP over Wi-Fi Working with Stock Mail

Hello All! Forever I've wanted my mail combined in the stock app, but Yahoo! IMAP wouldn't work over wi-fi without using K9, etc. I tried again and have success thanks to mtwebster's git commit: http://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_packages_apps_Email/commits/froyo
If you want your Yahoo! mail in the stock email (vanilla email client, not htc) app, add your IMAP account manually as usual and use the following incoming and outgoing servers:
Incoming server: imap.next.mail.yahoo.com
Outgoing server: smtp.mobile.mail.yahoo.com
I've tested it and it works great for me! I now have a combined mailbox with my Exchange (work) mail and my yahoo mail and can access both via Wi-Fi or 3G!
Enjoy
i dont know about the "next" command in ur first string..but ive always used :
INCOMING : imap.mail.yahoo.com
OUTGOING : smtp.mobile.mail.yahoo.com
im sure ur way works..but theres an alternative if the first way doesnt work for anyone for some odd reason

Hey SoCal. I saw your other post about ordering your Dinc. I think you'll love it! Welcome!
As for the servers, the ones you listed are the ones I had and they will NOT work via Wi-Fi (except if using K9 mail and I hate that ugly @ss icon and wanted one mail client and one inbox for all of my mail) but work fine over 3G. That's why I had to find the others. Give it a test and you won't even be able to add your account to the stock client while connected to a wireless access point. It will keep telling you "The username or password are not correct". When I'm at home or at work, I'm always connected to wireless, so not being able to get my mail is unacceptable.
Thanks for the reply, though!
awesome catch then eh? kudos on that!
and thanks for the welcome. being on an HDPI device is gonna be a bit of a learning curve as far as development goes..but im sure with a bit of the forum help ill be able to find my way just fine.
not working for me...

This is the regular plain-jane HTC mail app? I tried using these server names to set up my regular yahoo (not y-plus) account...left SSL and default ports unchanged. I had to switch to 3G-only even to get past the incoming server page in manual setup. I got the account set up, but with WiFi active I get the same old errormsg.
Is yours still working? I wonder what we did differently.

No, that was on the vanilla email client when I was using Ruby. I tried with the htc client and got the same issue that you did. I might have to restore my ruby backup and see if it still works and what the ssl settings are.
EDIT: I just verified that this works on the vanilla email client, via wifi, with security set to none but won't work on the htc client.

[Q][SOLVED] why Yahoo! Mail not supported?

I got "Account is not supported" - "Sorry, Yahoo! Mail is not currently supported" message when I try adding new email account for my Yahoo! Mail (not premium, I read somewhere it would've worked if it's premium).
I did search but no luck of finding relevant answer. I'm fully aware that there are alternatives such as Yahoo! app & K-9 Mail, this posting is just out of curiosity as to why. In general other Android phones support Yahoo! Mail (I know at least Evo & Sprint Hero do) -- could it be that Sprint puts more work into it whereas AT&T has been as always too busy with answering customers rants about Jobs-almighty's death-grip?
Edit: Solved! Thanks to armyengineer51 and FZ1Darren for the hint of going with manual setup.
The issue turns out to be Yahoo! Mail is (when auto-setup) using POP, which is not available for free accounts. I googled it and found BadBoy's post over at androidcommunity dot com forums that mentioned the host names for Yahoo! mail servers. Here's how i set it up:
- choose manual settings
this is your incoming mail configurations
- fill in user name (your Yahoo email) & pass
- select IMAP, server: imap.mail.yahoo.com
- select SSL, leave port as default
- hit next (authenticating)
this is your outgoing mail configuration
- fill in user name & pass (same as incoming)
- SMTP server: smtp.mobile.mail.yahoo.com
- select SSL, leave port as default
- hit next (authenticating)
if servers are reachable & your cred is correct at this point you just have to label & set your "From" name for this email account.
- done
Why not just download the yahoo mail app?
Just do the manual setup and it works fine, I've got three yahoo accounts on mine, no problems.

the auto setup didn't work for my .sbcglobal (att-yahoo) email. manual worked fine for 2 att-yahoo accounts.
The Yahoo Mail app from the market is pretty lame. Doesn't delete email off the server, can't open attachments, can't edit forwarded email either.
This works for me also. I don't know why ,but after flashing from CM6 to Liberated and back to stock, my Aria didn't want to auto set up yahoo correctly. Gmail worked just fine on any ROM.

Push Hotmail

Is there any way to get push hotmail, i already have activesync for my work exchange mail? will the mytouch 4g support two activesync servers?
Actually my exchange doesnt seem to pushing at all. When I check mail it will download.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Did you set the frequency to push ? You need to scroll up above the list of times to set it to push.
Yes i double checked that one.
got push hotmail working perfectly by using, Vanilla 2.2 mail .apk.
settings
email: [email protected]
server address: m.hotmail.com
SSL enabled
accept all SSL certificates enabled
username: [email protected]
password: password
Domain: \[email protected]
still cant get exchange working properly even with touch down, must be our server.
I have tried these settings, but i get an error everytime I get to the last screen to selet a name for my account and the process never completes.
Has anyone been successful in getting Hotmail (Activesync) configured on their myTouch ? I already have another exchange activesync account setup for work email.
On the G2 & N1 I was able to setup multiple Activesync accounts ?
Is that broken on the HTC mail client ?
Do I need another mail client for it to work?
Thanks

How'd you get vanilla 2.2 mail app on your mytouch 4G? I'd like to get Hotmail exchange active sync working on the MT4G.
i found it somewhere on a forum, it installed as an apk. it might have been of a desire rom cant remember. but it made hotmail work
Working well. Thanks!
No HTML which is weird since POP3 with the default HTC mail app supports it.
Please post questions in the Q&A section.
