How to set up gmail as an exchange acount on my Ipad2 ?

Getting gmail as my icon mail account was easy but did not provide all my functions, like my contact list. I see suggestions on making it an "exchange account" instead. What is that and how do you set it up?

Urgent: how can I add gmail via microsoft exchange?

Dear friends,
Please help to instruc me how to add gmail via Microsoft Exchange in system Mountain lion.
I already fill in all info probaly, but it does not work, keeps showing "the exchange server ...... is not responding." please help, thanks so mcuh.

All. I too was hoping that I could set up osx mail using exchange so it is a real shame it doesn't work the same as iOS even in Mountain Lion and still not in 10.8.2 where some more platform unification updates where made but then if it is Google that have to supply the server / make available....
Anyway, My primary reason for wanting to do this was contact sync. However, I now have contacts synced with OSX contacts following another thread you can search for. It was as simple as going into preferences accounts in the contacts app and setting up the google account. The same as selecting the default google type account in mail instead of exchange.
If mail is open, even minimised you will get mail notifications even using IMAP in the new OSX notification centre. And with contacts google account set up you will see another sync icon next to the time capsule icon.
So now all is working on OSX.

Error While setting up Gmail Via Microsoft Exchange

Hi everybody, I'm Using an Iphone 3gs in iOS 6.
I Wanted to setup Gmail with Push, so i set up the account via Microsoft exchange. But after the setup is complete,
I cant access the mails. Whenever i open the Mail app, its showing "Cannot get Mail: Connection to the server failed"
Need Help with this as Gmail Push would be of great use to me.
Anyhelp would be appreciated, Thank you.

Google are stopping (maybe have stopped already) Exchange support for their email accounts. If you want "push" use the free Gmail app.

How to set up Gmail as IMAP in Mail without downloading messages from 2007?

I was fine with Gmail on Apple Mail on my Macbook Pro using POP, but in order to best sync with my newly acquired iPhone I changed it to IMAP. Now it's proceeding to download all 7000+ messages from by Gmail Inbox from 2007. Is there no way to limit Apple Mail to the most recent 30 days of Gmail?
My last resort would be to delete most of my messages in Gmail, but there's not even a filter for that, and I'd prefer not having to do so.

This is not an Apple Mail problem, but the nature of IMAP, if in Mail Preferences/Accounts/Advanced you select to Keep copies of All messages, or Keep copies of All messages and their attachments for Offline viewing. Also, from your browser interface with Gmail you can choose to exclude the All Mail folder.

How to set an attached USB drive to automatic sleep using Airdisk?

Greetings all!
I am looking for a way to set my two USB drives to sleep when they are not being used. I only use them a few minutes a day, and don't want to run them down or use the electricity to keep them spinning.
It seems there has been some discussion about this but I haven't been able parse all the conversations. Some people seem to have gotten it to work, while others are relying on a drives "internal" mechanisms. It would be great if someone (perhaps at Apple?) could chime in with an overview of the problem.
Perhaps it is linked to the method of authentication - ie., (using Airport Utility 5.1), whether the Disks > File Sharing > "Secure Shared Disks" > is with "disk password" or another method?
Some have suggested a radio button for a future firmware/other update such as:
"Set drives to sleep when not in use" (Let's hope for this!), but I am hoping for a simple solution in the near future.
Any thoughts out there?
best to all.
*NB: I first posted this on Posted: Apr 4, 2007 12:23 AM and got NO response at all - hopefully I'll have more luck this time !

Hello Andy,
Thanks for your reply.
1. For using Microsoft Outlook rules, we need to keep the computer on, even after work or the colleague is on leave. That is not allowed in my company.
2. For sending an auto-reply email based on subject, that is impossible because the emails from customers are different and we don't have a basic standard.
3. Could you please elaborate how to set a transport rule in Exchange server to achieve the goal?
Thanks a lot in advance.
Steven
1. Only client rules require that the Outlook client remain open. An auto-reply rule should be server-side, so no need to leave Outlook open.
2. Yep!
3. Walk through the hub transport rules and you see one that replies with a rejection code. Thats the best you can get with a hub transport rule and not something I would recommend in your scenario. You could also search around for 3rd party solutions.

Problem adding gmail account   with Exchange. Please help?

I have a 4s thru AT&T. I set up a mail account using GMail's server, then entered my gmail info, and it worked. However, my emails were not coming to the iPhone until I opened the mail app. In other words, I didn't hear a ding and alert that a new Gmail had arrived. Messages were NOT being pushed.
So I read up on this, and eveyone said to set up gmail via the EXCHANGE account,(not the gmail account) under Settings>Mail>Add Account>EXCHANGE now instead of gmail). If I set up my Gmail via Exchange, then I should get messages pushed.
So I did all that, and for the server, I entered m.google.com.   This setup is covered all over the place and looks easy. However, when I am done, and try to open/send anything, it says Cannot Get Mail. The connection to the server failed. Postitive that my names and passwords are right. No typos anywhere.
Gmail connects me fine when I add account via gmail.   But Gmail will not connect when I add account Via Exchange.

It should push by default, as Gmail is an iMAP account that supports push.   You could go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Fetch New Data and confirm that Push is set to On.
I have see a number of posts recently, however, about Gmail push not working for people. Suggest you search these forums or Googles support forum to see if there's a solution.

HT2480 setting up more than one exchange account for iphone

Does anyone know how to set up more than one exchange account??

What you have is an alias email address to a primary email account.
You cannot create separate email accounts in Mail that share the same user name, password and incoming mail server due to the account and associated mailbox filing structure at the Finder level. When creating an email account in Mail, an account named folder is created at the first level within the Mail folder at Home > Library > Mail named by the user name and incoming mail server for the account which is why you cannot create multiple accounts that share the same user name and incoming mail server.
To add an alias email address to a primary account, go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts and under the Account Information tab for the account preferences at the Email Address field, add the alias email addresses to the email address for the primary account separated by a comma - [email protected], [email protected], etc.
All incoming messages for all email addresses will be deposited in the Inbox mailbox for the primary email account. If you want to separate messages by email address to a user created "On My Mac" location mailbox, you must create the mailboxes first and then create a rule to move messages received by email address.
When composing a message, the alias email addresses will be available via the account pop-up selection window just below the message header.

How do or can I switch gmail account to exchange?

I have a 3rd generation iPod Touch. I updated to iOS5 this summer, but some programs/apps got very slow, but the biggest, consistent problem is the Calendar app. I'm thinking perhaps this could be related to email and gmail. So here are my questions about email settings.
I want to try switching my "gmail" account to "exchange." Is this a good idea, would it help with push capability and perhaps be better for calendar too? Will it conflict and be a problem to have 2 "exchange" accounts or will they cause problems with each other?
I have 2 email addresses / accounts that get email on my iPod. They are both @gmail.com addresses set as IMAP.
One is set as: "Gmail" with Mail, Calendars and Notes "ON." This account is my main account and in the last couple of months, my email no long "pushes" to the device (i.e. it won't show up in notifications center, or download at all until I go to the inbox screen). When you go to look at the settings of this "gmail" account there is no slide bar about mail folders to push, it's just not there.
The 2nd is set as "exchange" with "Mail" only turned on. (I read an article way back that said this is the way to have 2 email addresses that stay separate but can be checked on one device.) This email account does "push" new messages as there is a slider bar that has this option turned on.
So the questions are above and here to:
1. Can I switch a "gmail" account set up on iPod Touch to "exchange." If so, how do I do this? Will I lose all data (email, calendar, notes) and info currently downloaded to the device? Will it all come back if I make a change?
2. Will this work with the 2nd "exchange" gmail account? Will it keep the 2 email addresses separate with different inboxes and folders as they are in gmail? Will there be any conflict or corruption or funky problems having 2 "exchanges"?
3. Any sense of whether "exchange" is better for gmail calendar functionality too? I have a horrible time with the Calendar app simply not working, it freezes, it shows everything blank but when I quit and reload it sometimes comes back and all my data is there. I've downloaded other calendar apps (Week Calendar and CalenMod) and they also have problems so I feel it's got something to do with how the wifi sends info to the device.
Thanks!
iPod Touch 3rd generation, iOS 5.1.1. Syncs to MB Pro running OS 10.6.8.

Okay, thanks for the article and the heads up that exchange is going away soon. But that article is talking about setting up a "gmail" account in settings which is what I have already and push doesn't seem possible this way. Is there another or better option to have 2 separate email gmail accounts fetching and pushing data to one device?

How to configure google apps in Mail 5 of lion os x not as gmail but as exchange

I have been trying hard online to find some resource to configure google apps in Mail 5 of lion os x not as gmail but as exchange.
The reason is that I want to sync my contacts as well as calendar and email but if configured as gmail ot only takes email and may be calendar.

Appreciate your guide line, or feedback with an online resource.
Best regards,
fawzy

How do I set up gmail not to download messages on iPhone

Hi Everyone,
Hopefully this is just a quick question that I can't seem to find an answer to. Here is the setup:
1. I have a number of email accounts that I manage on an Google Apps account (e.g. [email protected]; [email protected], etc)
2. I have set up gmail accounts so the key messages I want to read end up from the google apps account in my main @gmail.com.
3. I would like to use my iPhone to send from both my mail @gmail.com as well as my google apps account (e.g. from [email protected] "Uncle Mike for my birthday I'd like a pony" attached a picture of a pony)
I have therefore setup my main @gmail account in iOS mail and my other Google Apps accounts that I want to use (e.g. [email protected]) syncing only mail.
The challenge is that I get repeated emails (because [email protected] forwards to @gmail.com) on my iOS device. I've set up filters in Gmail to mark as read and archive the messages before they are forwarded for the Google Apps accounts, but they still keep on being downloaded.
Any suggestions on how to force iOS Mail app not download them? Or is there a special Gmail side filter I can use?
BR,
AK

Move them to a folder that is stored locally, rather than on the email server.
Reading between the lines, I guess your account uses IMAP, where the design philosophy is to store all messages on the server. Since your client shows what's on the server, when you delete a message, it vanishes both on the server and in the client.
The Local Folders "special" account in Thunderbird is provided for this very purpose, amongst others.
See the last item under "Uses for Local Folders" here: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Local_Folders

How to set up an exchange group inbox on iphone

I have access to a group (or delegated) inbox through my schools exchange server, but with email on my iphone I can not access it. Any help on how to set that up?

Hello Alicia,
You will have to check with your schools IT pages, or contact them directly.
They will tell you how to set up your Mail account, (if you have to use the Microsoft Exchange or Other in Add Account...)
They can also tell you if you there are any other security steps that might have to be taken as well to allow you access.
