I tried following the instructions on the google mobile app link with both Opera 10 and MIE, to only get the same regular login page, albeit formatted for the mobile screen.

I'm going to say that they discontinued the app, but I don't know why. I could probably check the blog for the answer but don't have the time or the patience for that.

In the meantime, you can continue to use the HTC Messenger app with "GMail" instead of "Outlook" and then in the "Advanced" tab, just choose to check the mail manually. This will probably be the most battery-friendly solution.

Problem solved with the regards of the labels issue. I decided to have outlook just sync my contacts and calendar. And have the native gmail app take care of the e-mails. And guess what if you move a msg to a folder within the app, it actually does it lol...So if you log in to your gmail account via browser you will see the message in the correspondent label/folder! :D

I also did all these account setups already (without your advice) and now have 2 accounts that are "grayed out" and I cant delete or edit? one is outlook and one is hotmail. I swear sometimes they arent greyed out and I can select them, but for now I just went ahead and added my gmail account. having 3 accounts that dont seem to send/receive at the same time sucks.

I really want to erase them all and start over with ONE account that all other address/accounts must go through.

Anyone figure out how to delete the "greyed out" accounts that wont let me delete them?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Snarksneeze:
I still haven't figured it out this side of a hard-reset. And I don't know why some ROMs gray out several accounts when others only gray out the first :(

Once I had three grayed-out accounts in a row, but after a hard-reset it only grayed the first account as usual.

I don't even know why M$ requires the first account to be locked, it just doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

To Snarksneeze,

Thank you soooooooooo much for your post and the time you took to do it. I did an upgrade last night and work up till about 5 amtrying to get that resynced and still didn't get it. Then I spent about 2 hours on the phone with T-Mobile Tech Support (a young girl she did the best that she could) we made progress we got eveything to sync except the mail. So about 24 hours later through your help it is working (15 minutes).

Thanks again.

RE:syncing multiple google calendars

I'm looking into trying Oggsync. After reading a lot about it, it looks pretty promising. It is capable of syncing mulitple Google calendars, but only calendars. Not email. Maybe this is good for people that use gmail ( I don't currently ), because you can still use Activesync for gmail to get the push email. It also runs on PCs to sync Outlook.

Has anyone tried this program?

Do you have an issue with once activesync runs it reverts the contacts back to last, first? I think I read elsewhere that this was the case but just needed to double check.

I also have an issue with google turning the contact pics to low res. Hopefully there will be a fix for that soon.

Download TrineFix from here http://www.gydarindustries.com/?page_id=4 . It is free and has several small pocket outlook tools, including one that sets all contacts to first,last or first,middle,last etc (no reboot needed!). It can't stop them from reverting to last,first but I have found that it dramatically reduces how many revert and how often.

So, I have my HD2 synced up with our corporate Exchange. I'd also like to be able to retrieve email from a domain that google mail is hosting. I've not figured out how to POP this account, and I am assuming I cannot use Google Sync as I am syncing with Exchange.

Can anyone confirm or deny this? Anyone know how to POP a domain hosted via Google?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RocketTechGrl:
No, you can't sync with Google Sync if you are already using Exchange. You can, however, use IMAP.

You will have to select "other account" - if you select gmail, then you would have to use an address that ends in @gmail.com. Then follow the instructions at https : // mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=78886 (remove extra spaces, I just can't post outside links yet.)

I just did this tonight (my work e-mail is hosted by google), so if you have questions, I'll try and help.

My Own Troubles

I've flashed both my Touch Pro 2 and my HD2 in the last two days and had issues with Syncing to Google's free Exchange server.

With the TP2, I had to delete the account, soft-reset and add it again to get my contacts to sync. I spent some time trying to sync, delete emails and sync again before I attempted to delete the account.

With the HD2, I've had problems connecting to Google. I went so far as to flash a stock ROM, then HSPL3 and then my fav ROM again before I managed to get the sync working.

It seems to me that some ROMs may work better than others when it comes to syncing to an exchange server.

Remember: If it's just contacts you want to save, try myphone instead. It may not preserve facebook links, but I've never lost a contact this way, which is a plus! If it's just emails you are concerned with, the regular method of adding gmail worked just fine each time I tried it and it checks every 5 minutes if you want.

For my TP2, I've started using myphone again, but I'm back on the Google exchange server with my HD2.

If you are having a lot of trouble, you might want to switch ROMs. AthineOS is working perfectly for me :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geronemo:
Oh i was hoping someone could clarify this for me:

I've set up my gmail to sync with hd2 the regular way with just email sync under mail tab.

Now under the Mail tab on sense then i click inbox -> now when i click on the tab where i can switch from viewing my inbox to sent email i see the following list:

Gmail mail heading: (under this i see following)

Gmail (subfolder)

Deleted items

Draft

Inbox

Junk email

Outbox

Sent items

Now the gmail subfolder contains the following:

All Mail

Draft

Sent mail

Spasm

Starred

Trash

Now my question is that why do i have a Gmail subfolder in the main gmail folder??

Also the mail folder contains "sent items" and the gmail sub folder contains " sent mail"??

and both main and sub folders contain the draft folder??

I hope i am able to explain my question, please let me know why is that.

Thanks alot.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sirphunkee:
geronemo,

First, that is the default behavior of the e-mail client when you setup g-mail. Now, the folders at the highter level in that tree (i.e. Deleted Items, Drafts, Inbox, Outbox, Sent Items) are the standard e-mail folders in pOutlook on your phone. The folders under the 2nd "GMail" header (All Mail, Drafts, Sent Mail, etc) correspond to those same folders in your gmail account...you can't access all the items already in those folders from your phone, but you can put emails in them and they'll get put in the corresponding folders in your gmail account.

OggSync setup and working

All,

I tried OggSync and it is working to sync my calendars from work and our personal calendars via google calendar. I use activesync to get my Exchange emails and tasks from my work (no calendar here). At work, I run Oggsync to transfer my work calendar to a google calendar. At home we are running Google Calendar Sync to sync Outlook calendar to google calendar (could use Oggsync here but already had the other setup and it worked and I'm too lazy to change it). Then on my HD2 I run Oggsync mobile to get all the calendars on my phone. It works because it syncs multiple calendars and for EACH calendar on EACH device you can define a one-way sync (either direction) or a two-way sync. Additionally, I've got Sashimi setup to backup the Oggsync data file and then restore it when I flash a new ROM. So I don't have to login in or reset all my settings when I flash.

(Disclosure: I posted as dude000 earlier in thread, but didn't like that name so settled on new user name. :rolleyes: )

If anyone is interested I can share more of my setup details.

Hi all - I did this to the letter and 30 mins later I still have no contacts? Help?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Snarksneeze:
Yeah, this happens to me too from time to time. Here's what I do:

Settings Tab->Data services->ActiveSync->Sync now.

(Repeat twice)

Check for new contacts.

If no contacts, then soft-reset and re-sync twice.

As I said, I run into this sometimes, the above steps usually fix it for me. Not sure why this happens, but I also know that if I let the phone alone for a few hours (like while at work), when I come back my contacts have appeared. Maybe there is only so much data that is allowed via exchange per session? I don't know....

The standard thing to do when you encounter a strange error is to soft-reset the phone and start over. If that doesn't work and you really, really need what you are attempting, you can either hard-reset (reset the phone to the latest flash) or you can try to flash a different ROM.

In the meantime, be sure to backup any contacts etc.

I don't think that 2G has anything to do with it, since the data packages are fairly small. You might try using Wifi and then manually syncing.

Most likely, there was a small error the first time around and it will take a few hours to iron out. I've seen this happen before (partial syncs) and they almost always fix themselves over time.

Thanks for the guide, everything works perfectly except the calender. It starts to sync, showing 862 appointments but stops when it gets to 50 then gives an error 85010005.

Gmail helps says to delete the account and try again, which I did but still get the same error - any ideas?

Update: By turning the calender option off (deleting all 50 synced appointments from the phone!) and then on again, it restored the lost appointments and then went on to sync all but 16 appointments - but again I'm getting the 85010005 error. If it is just one corrupt (?) appointment how do I identify it and delete it?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Snarksneeze:
I would suggest manually looking over your appointments to see if you can detect an anomaly, such as a strange character.

Thanks anyway. I deleted the account again, losing all 900 appointments (worrying time) so leaving just the 'bad' 16 behind then manually deleted them all. It nows syncs to both my WM and Android builds perfectly. All the events were invitations via Lotus Notes so not surprising something was wrong with them.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Snarksneeze:
Yeah, it looks like Google is either using an older version of the Exchange Server API, or they have simply decided to "enhance" it with their own methods. I suspect the latter.

It seems that the biggest issue that comes up in this thread is the calendar. I recommend for you to look around and see if you can find a 3rd-party solution for Windows Mobile to sync to Google Calendar. The Exchange Server just doesn't seem to do a decent job handling calendar syncs :(

djboy.... I know this is MONTHS after you posted, but did you work out a solution to your issue.

I only just set up synching my calendar with google/gmail yesterday, using the stock Rom on my phone. Worked perfectly.

Then installed my first ever custom Rom last nite (NRG Energy - beautiful :) ) and tried to re-do the synch with google.... and came up with EXACTLY the same issue you have described.

I've just worked out what I did wrong..... instead of putting the Server as m.google.com, i accidentally put it as m.gmail.com....... resulting in the same error message about certificates as yours.

So for anyone else who has that same error message and code.... check your server settings are for google, not gmail.
