PLEASE READ THE OP! YOU MAY NOT THINK SO, BUT THERE IS INFORMATION HERE THAT MAY SAVE YOU TIME AND HEADACHES!
This is a flashable zip of the Galaxy Tab email app for 2.2.1 Roms. It does not work properly with exchange in 2.2 Roms, so please do not use if you are on a 2.2 Rom and need to use exchange. If you do not use exchange and are on a 2.2 or 2.2.1 Rom, it will work fine!
HISTORY: This app was ported to the Vibrant last year and was modded by XDA member, 'smoothone' who fixed the resolution for the Vibrant. Before that, the app was too large for the lower resolution Vibrant screen. It had many problems for exchange users which were only resolved when Froyo 2.2.1 was released. This app has extraordinary functionality, including multi-delete and support for all versions of exchange. It doesn't exactly support 'push' for corporate exchange accounts, but you can set it to sync on an interval of five minutes.
It has been tested and reported working perfectly in both Bionix Frost, Simply Galaxy/Sweet Honey, and Bi-Winning all 2.2.1 Roms. If you encounter any problems, please be clear in describing what exactly is going wrong. Screenshots are in the second and third posts below.
Instruction for setting up Yahoo accounts in Android.
IMAP is another way you can get Yahoo! Mail on your phone. Using IMAP you can download messages with your mobile client, so you can access your mail even when not connected to the mobile Internet.
*
How to set up Yahoo! Mail with your mobile client using IMAP
On your phone, press < Home >, then open the Email application.
On the 'Your accounts' page, select Next to get started with setup.
Enter your full Yahoo! address and password, then select Next.
On the next screen, you can give the account a nickname and choose the name to display on your outgoing messages. Tap Done.
*
If prompted, supply the following information:
Incoming Server - imap.mail.yahoo.com
Outgoing Server - smtp.mail.yahoo.com
Incoming Port - 993 (requires SSL)
Outgoing Port - 465 (requires SSL)
Username: full email address ([email protected])
Password: is the password you login to Yahoo! with
Note! The setup menu on your phone will take you through the incoming server settings first (incoming server,then incoming port, then check a box for 'ssl' required...) and then you can set up the outgoing server settings.

Thanks to krad42 we now have a version with security removed! He can explain it better than me.
I was sick of using pin mode to unlock my phone every time I locked it. Keep in mind there is a purpose of the security tools, prevent unauthorized access and remote wipe incase your phone gets lost. I am actually using delay lock app from market with this setup so that the phone will prompt for pin after a set period of time, but not every time I close out. Go ahead and make a flashable if you would like, hopefully it will be useful for others. Be safe, follow krad's advice and use the 'DelayedLock' app from the Market!

Seems like exchange issues are dependant on the version of the exchange server that someone is synching with. I had all kinds of issues when my job had exchange 2007. Now they are running 2010 and I have not had any issues with stock or tab versions.

Sorry it took me so long to reply, but I can't connect in Firefox for some reason today either on Windows or Ubuntu and IE isn't working so fast either although it is working. Anyway, sad to say I don't know of a Tab version with the security disabled. There were two tools able to do that made for use with HTC phones. Other devs modded those applications and got it working for other devices. Problem was no one managed to do it for the Galaxy Tab version that I know of. It was about that time that Froyo 2.2.1 was released and all efforts seemed to die out. I did try to contact smoothone and let him know there was a tool to remove security, but he had received a ban from XDA and was unreachable. Another user posted that he was leaving xda after his ban. If you have the ablility, I can put you in touch with those threads tonight if you want to take a crack at modding it for the Tab version.
Edit: I'll try looking into it tomorrow also, but I can make no promises of success.

I don't know where you are on this, but I think I've found something else you could use to solve the exchange problems with the Galaxy Tab once and for all. [APP] **Updated 12/27/2010** Email.apk - Gingerbread src code w/o Exchange security I guess the idea is to remove the ability of the app the look for a security code.

Sorry I missed you post earlier. I used to get that error message when connected to wifi on my yahoo account. I just checked, and I don't get it anymore. (Strange) I would try deleting your yahoo account on the phone and going to menu>setting>applications>manage applications>all tab> scroll down to account and sync settings (actually it's third in the list on my phone) tap that and delete any cache and data (if there is any). Then scroll down to the email app and delete cache and data for that (there definitely should be some). Then reboot and reset your yahoo account. Let me know if that works.
Edit: Sorry I forgot all about Imap! Something changed when setting up yahoo in android from my last rom to this one. I had the instructions in my file the whole time. The setup menu on the phone will take you through the incoming server settings first (incoming server,then incoming port, then check a box for 'ssl' required...) and then you can set up the outgoing server settings.

You certainly are fast! You know, I pm'd several devs about doing what you did today and never got a reply. Thank you so very much! I have a question though: Since you had no problems with the original or stock versions with exchange 2010 why did you want a version minus the security feature? And, do you mind if I place you .apk in a flashable zip and offer it to 2.2 users for testing (I'll make sure to credit you). Security wasn't the only problem with the Tab email unfortunately. I'd like to get some feedback from exchange users still on 2.2 Roms.

Looks like WM 6.1 has added a new "feature" since WM 6.
WM 6.1 must have a database of mail servers and their mail server settings (although incomplete). When configuring a new email account which WM 6.1 has settings for (I used gmail), right after entering the email address and password, it says...
"Auto Setup found settings for:
<account name>
To complete setup and download e-mail, click Next."
Next is your only option, and it skips past the screen where you'd normally choose the account type (IMAP4 or POP3). I haven't found a way to change that value after the account's been created.
This is a problem if you use gmail, since they offer both POP3 and IMAP4 servers, but WM 6.1 defaults to POP3 only.
Anyone can test this, you can "make up" a email address/password.
Lame huh? Anyone know of a workaround or will this need to be "cooked" out?
thats in 6.0 too, i set up my gmail account that way the day i got my phone back in june, lol
in 6.0 theres a checkbox when you put your address in, if you uncheck the box it wont try to automatically get settings

Correctomundo.... that feature only works for a very few select email providers.
Are you guys using WM 6.1?
I'm aware of the check box you're talking about, but in no2chem's WM 6.1 rom the box doesn't show until the 2nd account config screen (and doesn't show at all if you start with a [email protected] address).
It's trying to be too damn smart.
Looks like no2chem is on the case!
From his realase notes for nueROM 2.0 build 5024:
Known issues:
GMAIL users are forced to use POP3 Email due to auto-detection
I haven't seen it mentioned if the issue is caused by WM 6.1 or something else in his nueROM 2.0. I hope I guessed right by not posting this in his nueROM 2.0 thread...
Nice to know I'm not hallucinating.
EDIT: apparently this issue's present in all WM 6.1 roms.

that sucks, guess ill have to hold off on 6.1 until it gets sorted
but why would they put it after you enter the address? it doesnt make sense to have to option to not use auto config after it autoconfigs, lol, is this an issue in the itself or in the 6.1 version of pocket outlook? hopefully its a result of the rom cooking, but i wouldnt put it past MS to do something dumb like that either, lol
just for clarity heres where it is in 6.0, before you even enter the email address
defaultdotxbe said:

Yep, that's 6.0.
In 6.1 the first account config page asks for your email address and password only. If it doesn't recognize your email domain the next page will give you the option to have it "automatically" grab the settings, just like with 6.0. You get screwed if it recognizes your email's domain (so far only gmail.com that I've found), and you don't get the option to configure the server type yourself. Pretty dumb idea by MS, at least for us.
In the thread I linked to in my edit above, no2chem mentions the auto settings should be editable, but that's beyond me at this point. That thread also mentions that this WM 6.1 build is based on a beta from MS, so maybe a release version will make things better.
I just noticed gmail.com doesn't say their problem still exists with HTML emails + IMAP + WM. Are they working now?

yeah, in the 3.16 rom from sprint IMAP is working fine
now if gmail would just start using push-imap...
EDIT: i was just looking at my email settings and once an account is created you can still change email address and servers, just not the type of account (pop3, imap, exchange, etc) so if you put anything in the email so it wont automatically set it up you shoudl be able to change it to gmail afterward
in the account picker go to menu, then options, then select your account and you can go through an edit all the settings (in 6.0 anyway)

I've been browsing the web for the last couple of days trying to get out of buying a Yahoo Mail Plus account so I can check my Yahoo Mail over wifi.

Nope, the Yahoo Canada site still requires Yahoo! Mail Plus for POP access and forwarding. (At least, it did for me.)
However, I'm not fully certain if this would work, anyway. It appears that Yahoo!'s servers are blocking IPs that do not come from the pool reserved for mobile operators. Unless this patch is a way to force connections to Yahoo!'s mail servers to go through the cellular data connection, and use the WiFi for all other network connections when WiFi is available. (That would be the more likely avenue.)

CONFIRMED. works here.
Although I don't think push/check frequency is working. I have it set to 5 minutes, email myself from my Gmail and still nothing, that was about 15 mins ago lol
Anyone have a fix for that? thanks!
Just adb pushed it to my phone using the same imap settings that I was before and it totally works over wifi! We should get this added to the roms as a patch. Definitely useful for those of us that use Yahoo Mail.

I imagine you're talking about this site: http://www.seven.com/index.html
- Which currently does NOT support T-Mobile, unless you sign up for their BETA program.
- Their BETA program requires you send an SMS message upon activation and for each email account setup...To their Isle of Man location, which would incur international costs, especially since I don't have a texting plan.
Are you using this, with Yahoo? Can you give more detail?
Just change your yahoo settings to Yahoo! Asia and everything works fine.

Remove your SIM card before adding your first email account to avoid sending the international SMS. You will need a Wi-Fi connection.
But there is a bug where it will keep the phone's awake time 100%, see the android section in seven's beta program forum for more info. (requires registration to access)
I just set-up the SEVEN app, and it rocks.
And I didn't need to do the SMS thing either.
You can download the software directly to the phone.
I tested it with my standard free Yahoo account, sent myself an email, and received it almost instantaneously.
Why this isn't all over every Android forum, I don't know.
Small tip. If the app FC's after initial install, just reboot the phone, and it should boot fine.
yes it rocks...
the notification icon also differentiate the emails account.
Push doesn't work, I've email myself multiple times from my gmail to my yahoo, with the fetch interval to 5 minutes (guess it's not push after all)
Am I using the wrong server settings?
If anyone has push/fetch working please PM me or post in here for others to see! thanks
Just wanted to let anyone know that cares that I uploaded the patch to CM's github yesterday and it's already been approved to be included in the next version. So, as of ver 5.0.5.3+ it should be included. YAY!

the email.apk works fine. The patch is to trick yahoo into seeing your wifi connection as a mobile connection.

More info helps others problem-solve with you.

When you go to set it up does it say something like "security certificate not recognized" or something like that and you have the options of continue/view/cancel? If yes, select continue.
On the setup activesync account you should have:
email address: [email protected]
server address: same as your outlook web access server only without the https:// part or http:// part
domain: probably don't need it with 2007 (my internship site doesn't need it, but they have SBS)
username: this is your login name which may or may not match the first part of your e-mail address.
password: whatever
This server requires an encrypted SSL. If you log into Outlook Web Access with an https:// address, check this box. If you log in with http:// then remove the check.
Next you should get to the activesync settings, pick what you like.
Give it a name and finish.
Does that resolve the issue?
It's the "finish" part where it says the phone doesn't support it. We go through all of the steps, including the part where you set up a pin or password, and the setup fails at the last step.

It's the "finish" part where it says the phone doesn't support it. We go through all of the steps, including the part where you set up a pin or password, and the setup fails at the last step.

Something sounds pretty odd here. When are you getting prompted for a pin? Do you guys have some wacky 3rd party security thing installed?
Can you log into Outlook Web Access using the phone's web browser?
No, there's just a policy requiring a lockscreen pin or password for the device. Nothing 3rd party. You can see where the setting is under security on your phone.

No syncing problems on my device - one important consideration is that Exchange 2010 doesn't let users in the Domain Admins group use ActiveSync (permissions problem since it's a builtin group). If you attempt to set up the phone, it will fail right at the end of the provisioning.
But of course a domain admin shouldn't have his primary mailbox on his admin account
Actually, GMail stops syncing randomly, sometimes after a reboot. Usually only fixed by a reboot as well. Any others with this issue?

Same here. IT policy requires pin to be set and ability to remote wipe in the event that your are termed.

When you go to set it up does it say something like "security certificate not recognized" or something like that and you have the options of continue/view/cancel? If yes, select continue.
On the setup activesync account you should have:
email address: [email protected]
server address: same as your outlook web access server only without the https:// part or http:// part
domain: probably don't need it with 2007 (my internship site doesn't need it, but they have SBS)
username: this is your login name which may or may not match the first part of your e-mail address.
password: whatever
This server requires an encrypted SSL. If you log into Outlook Web Access with an https:// address, check this box. If you log in with http:// then remove the check.
Next you should get to the activesync settings, pick what you like.
Give it a name and finish.
Does that resolve the issue?

Like pcochran89 said. It's at the very end we're having problems.
I'm stumped. Perhaps its a 2010 issue? I'll talk to a buddy of mine who might have a 2010 server he can set up a dummy account on to see if there is anything I notice. It usually ends up being something simple that's overlooked.
Any help is much appreciated.

Here I am asking this same old question again on yet another Android phone. Maybe I should just take a hint and get a phone with real exchange support yeah?
I have a Droid RAZR MAXX , about 30 minutes old.
Anyhow, apparently NO ONE uses exchange or I'm the ONLY ONE with this issue.
Press Settings
Press Accounts
Press Add Account
Press Corporate Sync
...
.....
What the **** am I supposed to do with just "Email" and "Password?"
Where am I supposed to enter my domain, my server, and the other options that go along with exchange?
Who approved this? This is even less usefull than just activesync, it doesn't work at all.
Anyone use exchange or understand where the mystery settings are?
**UPDATE** I THINK, I just lost about 80 IQ points when I found this. This could possibly be the saddest fail in exchange history..
https://motorola-enterprise.custhel...roid-razr-maxx-corporate-sync-email-settings?
Don't feel bad. I just returned a Galaxy Nexus because I was unable to get my Exchange account working. I figured out how to get all the info into the corporate sync settings and got excited when it said it worked. Alas, it refused to actually get any mail or sync any folders.
So I downloaded Touchdown. I was unable to even get that working with my Nexus. With the Maxx I still wasn't able to get it working with Activesync, but at least I can get it working with polling. I hate the idea of paying an extra $20 for Touchdown, but in the end I think it's probably worth it.
Wow. I knew the workaround, but had no idea they'd actually make that official. That's hilariously unprofessional. All the same, points to them for putting it up there when they knew people were having problems..

What the heck are you complaining about? Just enter the email and password and it will try to configure on the basis of that. If it is not able to do that it will ask for the server and other info.

Except when it doesn't, and just says it is unable to connect, offering no option to enter the server name. Have a look at the linked knowledgebase article.

What is the section "Server settings" in Account settings for then? I am using the Exchange server on my RAZR from the first day I bought it. The corporate mail is excellent a reliable.
I set up the name of the server and login including domain name and password. The last option is proxy. That is all you need.
Wow... wish I'd known this before purchasing Enhanced Email. It's a nice program, but the only reason I needed it was because the stock mail program wouldn't let me set up my exchange email after the first OTA update from VZW.
Live and learn.
For some reason on the Maxx when you go into Corporate Account/Sync, there only 2 options
Email Address
Password
No other options are available. Menu button does nothing. Period. It wasn't until I stumbled upon the dumbest feature ever that I knew to use any current account that I have access to (NON EXCHANGE ONLY , i.e. YAHOO, HOTMAIL, GMAIL,) in order to get those options (Domain, server, etc, ) to appear so I could edit it.
Ludacris..
Some accounts work straight off the bat, others won't. Assume it's exchange version and server implementation to blame. The problem does exist, as evident by the Moto knowledgebase link in the OP, so he posts claiming people who can't set exchange up are missing something are, well, missing something themselves.

On what planet does it make any sense to to input a yahoo.com email address and password to trigger server setup, domain etc, for an exchange server? Just to make those options visible?
I could never, even on accident could do a worse job in designing this software. And I'm an idiot.
Corporate Email Autodiscover
I would suspect that the reason you're only prompted for the email address and password is that newer versions of Exchange can work with autodiscover, if properly configured. That's why when you set up an account in Outlook 2010, it asks for your email address and password to begin with. It goes out and looks for the information from DNS for your domain, and automatically gets the mail server information.
My RAZR works fine??? what's your deal
Hey i just opened a Droid RAZR MAXX and turned it on and set up my gmail account then set up my exchange 2007 account.
Here's how( maybe your doing it wrong):
- First Unlock the device's screen.
- Press home key as many times as you want, but more than 0.
- Press the settings button. Looks like 3 little lines on top of each other. It is just to the left of the little house button.
- Select Settings by touching the gear icon. - bottom left.
- Scroll down to accounts and press it. (accounts that is)
- At the very bottom touch the words "Add account"
- Now touch the little blue stamp icon that has the words Corporate Sync under it
- Enter your microsoft exchange account email address in the box that is for Email address:
- Enter your password in the box that is for Password.
- Click next on the bottom right of the screen.
Now your droid will try to connect to your companies exchange server.
If it cant it will allow you to put in server and domain information.
You have to be patient, it could be 30 whole seconds or so before it prompts you.
- Enter your companies domain name in the domain box.
- Enter your microsoft user account information in the name and password boxes.
- Enter the name of your mail server w/ the domain name at the end ie. mail.yourDomain.com
- click Next.
If you have your information correct it will work. Else check w/ your admins. If you are your admin... try again.
Ya i have been using exchange for several years with moto android phones with no connection issues. My Razr has worked fine, like stated in post im running exchange 2003 which does not offer auto config for phones, you might be running a newer version of exchange which does have auto config setup but not setup right? If your running exchange 2007 or up make sure the auto config settings on server are right because if there wrong it will fill in the wrong info and not let you enter your own server info.
Sorry to dig up this old thread, but everyone seems to be so hard core about searching for solutions before posting new threads. So I guess, better to dig up an old one.
I am having a variant of this problem. I am setting up Office365 for my company as a replacement for onsite Exchange2007. I set up a new domain just to have something to play with in test/dev. The domain I'm using is set up for the Autodiscover that a few people alluded to above, just requires a few new DNS records. It worked perfect on my Xperia Play with Android 2.3.3 that I had prior to the Razr. I just put my email and password in and boom it configured. Not so with the Razr, I don't know if this due to the Razr not using the stock Android email application or just the difference between 2.3.3. and 2.3.6.
I found this thread on the Office365 support site:
http://community.office365.com/en-us/f/160/p/25689/118705.aspx
While *I* can make that work, being an admin and all, I think it's probably way too confusing for our end users. I can imagine a greatly increased support volume should we have to go down that path with IMAP servers. Or using the Motorola method in the link closer to the top the thread, which would probably work fine for connection to the onsite Exchange server, but is more dicey on Office365 since there is no "server name" per se.
I can't imagine that this issue is going to go away. A lot of companies are moving to cloud email and Office365 is a popular choice.
---------- Post added at 04:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:02 PM ----------
OK, I was able to get it working.
First, I logged into my Office365 account with a web browser, going to my inbox and then in the upper right hand corner hitting the question mark and then from the drop down menu choosing About. This is described in the link I put in my last post.
Then I went to log in using the Corporate Sync. It failed and then came back and asked me for the server name and domain. For the server information I put in the information from the Host Address field on the box that popped up from the Help-About box in the last step,
listed as: Host address: https://*********.outlook.com/owa but leaving out the OWA on the end. I left the Domain blank and entered my email account as the username, and re-entered the password (Important-it was failing before I re-entered the password.). Then it worked, came back and asked me to set a screen lock code. Yay!
Hope maybe this helps someone else.
As long as this thread was dug up (thank you BTW), I thought it important to update my situation from what I had in the 2nd post.
It turns out there was an Active Directory (AD) configuration error on my account. I figured this out by looking at the log from attempts to connect using Activesync. This lead me to the Touchdown support website which then linked to another website. Basically my account didn't have permission to create devices.
Fortunately I have a good relationship with the AD admins. I was able to configure email on my device without issue using another users credentials. This told me it should work with my accounts. So I sat down with the AD admin and we compared permissions on the 2 accounts till we eventually found the differences.
Once my account was fixed I was able to get Activesync working using Touchdown. Unfortunately I couldn't get Auto Discover to work, but manual setup worked fine. Then I set up my account using both the built-in email client and Enhanced Mail (bought it for 10 cents during Google sale). It worked fine on all 3. Even download Moxier. Turned out, of all the options, I liked the interface and options most using Touchdown so I stuck with that.
Motor's corporate email client makes one assumption I wish they would not make. They assume your Exchange administrator has properly setup autodiscovery. If autodiscovery is properly configured (that requires a proper autodiscover.domain.com address) all you need is your email address and password and everything will work. This is a really bad assumption as most people who set this stuff up are idiots.
That said, after a failure to use autodiscover the client should eventually fail to a manual setup screen for server name, domain login etc.

I do have autodiscovery properly set up for my Office365 domain, it's no longer optional. Not even your Outlook client will connect to Office365 Exchange without autodiscovery working. As I mentioned before, there's not a server name in the traditional sense. Obviously, you can find A server name in the help-->about information when you are logged into the OWA version of Office365, but you couldn't drop that server name into a traditional Outlook setup and have it work.
My domain autodiscover works with other phones. In fact I just added a Windows Phone7 device to it last night and all I had to do was enter the email address and password. I pulled my Xperia Play out of a drawer last night and put it on the charger. It's been factory wiped and I'm going to run through the setup for my Office365 domain on it again. I just got busy doing other things last night like working out and watching the basketball game
Work Around for adding Corp Sync Account without using Touchdown
i had this problem when i went to create a Corp Sync account and did not see a place to type in the Server name ....there is a "work around" for adding a Corporate Email account without using Touchdown... type in your gmail account information let the app verify the account... once it is verified you can go back and modify the account ... you "should" see a box to type in webmail.ihostexchange.net...
Wow my iq dropped by reading this noob thread. Just open the email app click add account select other enter your email and password then press manual setup enter your domain and server your good to go it automatically syncs contacts and calendar.

I've been on Android about 6 months now. First I had a Galaxy Note & now I have a Galaxy Note 2. In that time I've tried around 30 email clients (some free & some paid versions) but I've still not some across a client that can offer me some (what I consider) very simple features.
What I'd like the client to do is:
1. Be able to resize within the email view so I can see the whole email (or at least the width of it if the mail is longer than one page length). This is such a simple thing but the only one I've found that does this is the official Hotmail client but that brings with it a whole load of other issues... Even the Gmail client doesn't let you do this & you're forced to scroll around the screen trying to put together a virtual jigsaw puzzle in your head of what the whole email should look like.
2. Be able to set an option in the settings to always allow images. Again a simple feature. Something similar to the Gmail app would also be OK where you set it for each sender separately.
3. Always display as HTML.
4. Push notifications that display the message title/sender in the notification.
Hopefully someone knows of such a client but I haven't found one yet.
Thanks for your help people.

Thanks. I downloaded Enhanced Email from the play store. It does most of the stuff but doesn't let you know the source or title of the incoming mail. Just tells you that you have new mail.
Also having some problems with formatting emails in mobile view.
It's probably the best I've tried though.
You probably won't find an email client that tells you the sender and title because usually people receive multiple emails at a time from various senders.
And try K 9 mail

Having used enhanced email for a few days I can say that it's definitely not up to use full time. When ever I reboot my phone it deletes my Hotmail account, it doesn't notify properly, has no push for Gmail, can't format html into mobile view effectively & has a poor gui. Very expensive for why it does.
I have tried K9 before & unless it's been updated recently there isn't an option to resize an email so that the while mail is displayed at once is there?

Yes, you can pinch to zoom but I'd like to display the whole email on screen at once & then decide which part of the email I'd like to zoom into (if any). K9 & most other Android clients don't allow this. The only app that I've found that can do this at all is the official Hotmail app but the rest of the app is so basic its shocking. It doesn't allow you to always show images & on my current phone its a 3 click process to show images (in every mail you view). It also truncates all mails to a maximum of 100kb do anything over this takes a further 3 clicks to display properly. Very poor.
Try Aquamail. I absolutely love it, and it has all these features. Their mobile view is the main reason I use it. Make sure you pick up the latest beta version 4 here: www.aqua-mail.com/?page_id=217
The mobile view used to be incorporated into the appstore version. The developer took it out temporarily, and it is only in the latest beta.
