Hotmail and Gmail as Exchanges
Hi, I have configured hotmail and gmail as exchange accounts so to sync or use my google contacts on my iPhone 4S (5.1.1).
Latetly when I try sending emails using gmail they are being sent via hotmail exchange instead of m.google.com. I don't remember until when this was working but was working atleast before 5.1.1.
Currently I have my hotmail account disabled/inactive (by switching off mail) to make my gmail work as it should be.
Will appritiate your help in addressing this issue.
I have deleted both accounts and setup from scratch one after another and issue still remains
Thank you,
Ravi.
Try to remove Hotmail account
*** Power off iPhone ***
Power on iPhone
Add Hotmail account and test.
I had the same exact problem after updating to iOS 5.1.1. I called into Apple Care (2-3 hrs) and went to the Genius Bar (2hrs). They all claimed it was my fault for forwarding email accounts. One suggested solution was to restore and setup as new, yet the problem still occured after I let them restore the iPhone. Some how I believe in iOS 5.1.1 the active sync is messed up. Everyone instead of taking ownership of the problem all says it's Hotmail's issue or Gmail's issue. Why is it not Apple's issue who wrote the code for iOS 5.1.1? Prior to v5.1.1 they didn't have a Hotmail (Exchange) setup. It was setup via smtp/mapi. The simple reboot inbetween adding/removing accounts works. (IMHO, this sounds like an Apple iOS issue to me.)

I accidentally uninstalled both firefox and thunderbird during a clean up. I am now trying to reciver my previous hotmail and gmail emails. Having used Outlook and re set my email accounts it has synched and 'pulled' up emails from gmail back to August and Hotmail back a month.
Is there any way of recovering the older emails?Re-install Thunderbird, add the accounts again.
We don't know if you were using POP or IMAP.
IMAP will show you any messages on the server.
POP would have stored messages on your computer. You could recover these by importing the mailbox files for the previous instance of the account, so long as your "clean up" didn't also remove the profile.

hello. I can not configure my major mail account at Mac Mфail - other accounts such as Hotmail and Gmail are working great. Also, I am using that major account at iPhone and iPad with no problem. I had contacted mail provider - we had followed step by step all the settings,, they are correct, and I was suggested to use another mail program. Why, for God's sake I should use different programs for different mail accounts? Anyone, had the same problem?
it says - IMAP - Trying to log into this IMAP account is failed - Verify that username and password are correct
same for SMTP

I can't get either to download to mail. When I start mail, it wants me to set up an account. I can't enter preferences at all. I don't know why the POP part to gmail doesn't work - I have enabled POP on gmail and followed directions on the apple mail side, but it doesn't work. At SMTP, it's a disaster, as there is no panel to change ports, which I need to do.
For hotmail, I have installed the http plug-in, and enabled rosetta in hopes it would work, but I have no http option when I begin the process of entering my accounts into the setup page, only POP, IMAP, and exchange.
What am I doing wrong?Mail's Setup "Assistant" is a real pain, as there is no way to avoid it when setting up Mail for the first time. It's even worse considering that Mac OS X requires you to get access to Mail's preferences in order to set another mail client as the default, but you cannot do that without setting up an account in Mail first -- total nonsense.
Just in case, let me tell you that the Mac OS X 10.4.7 Update introduced connection issues as a result of (according to the documentation) "Mail now supports connecting to mail servers through a SOCKS proxy". If that's the problem, you must go to System Preferences > Network and disable the SOCKS Proxy in the network configuration used to connect to the Internet, if it's enabled.
Also, I assume you're trying to set up your Gmail account as described here:
http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=13275
Finally, note that you can just let the Setup "Assistant" to time-out. It takes a considerable amount of time, but you can just let it show its stupidity while you do something else. -
Syncing contacts and calendar with outlook and gmail - use Exchange or not?
I need to sync my contacts and calendar between my iphone and Outlook and google on my laptop. Syncing via iTunes is fine as a backup but not as a constant process. I then saw that Gmail would permit an Exchange account to be used to allow immediate syncing so I installed an Exchange account on the iphone. It works but I now have doubled contacts. Is there a better way of doing this to avoid duplicate contacts? If I dedupe the contacts on the iphone do I risk then deleting contacts in Outlook on my PC? Alternatively if I delete the Exchange account on the iPhone is there a simple way of keeping calendars in sync on Iphone, Google and Outlook? (I just have two gmail accounts and do not have a Microsoft Exchange server)
Grateful for any useful advice on this issue!FYI I eventually developed a work around that works better. I have a mac at home and a window pc at work. You can use plaxo to sync contacts between the two and the ipod syncs with the mac as advertised. Also as a bonus you don't have to deal with any issues, problems and pains with multiple itunes locations...

New iPad and Gmail as Exchange
I tried setting my gmail up using the Exchange method that works on all other iOS devices. It allows you to save the account and gives you check marks however it constantly says connection to server failed. I have deleted and re-added the account and it is the same thing. I deleted and re-added the account on my iPhone 4 on iOS 5.1 with no issues. Has anyone gotten Exchange Gmail working on the New iPad?
I had it working a few days ago perfectly on the new ipad. I exchanged that ipad today for a white ipad instead of a black one that i had. I restored from icloud but the gmail sync account wan't there so i readded it again but not working.
I have been trying to figure out for the last 4 hours why and have searched and searched. I have tried deleting and adding, no luck. I have tried adding different gmail accounts, no luck. I have tried adding several gmail accounts to another iphone 4, no luck, another ipad 1 no luck, Reset the ipad to orginal factory setting with nothing on there and the first thing i did is try to add my google mail account with calendar and contacts set to sync as well, no luck. The funny thing is the account that i orginally had on the ipad is working perfectly on an iphone that has had it on there for over a year!
I keep thinking it is an issue with google and them adding NEW account registrations to server. Makes no sense, because the same account works on my iphone4. the only common variable that they all have is that they all have tried to be setup in the last 5 hours and all using microsoft exchange with the setting that is outlined by google. If i use add account and use "google mail" it works for my mail and calendar but not contacts. Can't get the exchange optoin to work and have tried on 4 different ios devices with 2 different accounts and no luck. -
Hotmail and Gmail accounts won't send mail.
Have added and deleted and re-added two Hotmail accounts(as IMAP) and 3 Gmail accounts and all will receive emails but none of them will send?
No idea what I'm doing wrong! Any help would be great.
Thanks!John Burnes,
Port 25 may not work on some WiFi hotspots or the EDGE network, or may only send to some recipients but not others. Many email providers will also set up their SMTP servers to listen for authenticated connections on either port 465 or 587.
For example, .Mac does this because many consumer internet providers filter or block port 25 traffic:

Had Hotmail and Gmail on IPAD. Deleted Hotmail which removed all contacts
On OS5 on IPAD. Don't understand why Apple software would delete all contacts and reminders when deleting just 1 Email account on IPAD. I had deleted Hotmail from IPAD until I can get rid of everyday junk mail recently showing up.. After deleting Hotmail account Hotmail is showing up as a folder, and of
course, with no contents.. How can I get contacts and reminders back without doing job manually???
And note to Apple.. Please fix your softeware..My opinion is that when more than 1 account is on IPAD and 1 is deleted contacts should not be disturbed in
It is designed this way so you can have separation of contacts. I have work email and personal email on my phone.
Each email account can be used as a container for contacts. If you switch employers you can remove your work email and all of its associated contacts will be removed with it leaving your personal or other email account contacts alone.
This takes some attention from the user when creating a new contact if you want it to be a part of a specific group/email account, you will need to press the group button in contacts then have only the group you want to add the contact to selected. Go back into contacts and press the + button and your created contact will be added to that group.
Folks at my work run into this problem from time to time on Androids. They will have the phone set to add contacts to the phones contact list instead of Exchange. When the phone goes kaput, their contacts are gone with it (or they need to be recovered from the carrier if backed up). If they were in exchange, they would be resynced when we set up a new phone. -
I can receive and read mails from my hotmail and gmail accounts, but if I answer them from my iphone, they don't appear on my hotmail or gmail pages.
It sounds as if you may be using POP rather than IMAP. POP email accounts do not stay in sync across devices. IMAP accounts do.
For Gmail, log into your Gmail account on your computer, go to Settings>Forwarding and POP/IMAP. Make sure that you have IMAP enabled. You'll need to check with Hotmail to see what the similar settings would be. -
I used to be able to save a page from my email (both hotmail and gmail). I an no longer save a page from Firefox of my email. It will save a page on a website visited. It does save a page and files but is unopenable.
First off, this is a public forum, so anyone can see your e-mail address (Could an admin snip it?)

How to sync hotmail calendars and ICal using exchange/ active-sync.
I have just recently updated my hotmail account to the exchange setting in my iPhone and I have synced my mail,calendar and contacts. I'm just wondering if it's possible to sync my hotmail Calendar with my iCal on Mac os x using the exchange program. Also out of curiosity has any body been able to sync their hotmail with mail using exchange?

If I have two email accounts, one personal hotmail account and one MS Exchange work account on my iPhone 4s, How can I setup individual notifications for each account? Fore example, if I get a work email, I want to hear a DING, DING....If I get a personal email, I want to hear a BEEP, BEEP. Right now, any email from any account has the same notification. I want work incoming email notification to be different than personal incoming notification. The only semi-workaround I've seen is just disable any notification for the Hotmail account, so only work emails would notify. But then I don't know when I get a personal email. Even the lowely Blackberry Torch 9800 has this feature..not iPhone 4s??
ThanksSorry you get only one notification sound for all email accounts. you can send a suggestion to apple here http://www.apple.com/feedback/

When I tried to open my Mail app on my IPhone this morning, it opened a list of choices - iCloud, E Exchange, Google, Yahoo, Aol, Outlook. I use Hotmail and it usually opens to my Inbox. Why did it do this and do I choose Outlook and is it safe to sign in?
It sounds like instead of opening your Mail App, you actually opened your Settings App, and were somehow in the 'Add Account' section of Mail, Contacts & Calendars.
Close the apps, and then reopen just the Mail App. -
