Sprint HTC Hero :: How To Change Microsoft Outlook Pop3 Setting In Hero?
Oct 27, 2009
I just go hero and I went to the Pop3 setting and started to insert my microsoft pop3 account setting in the fields as prompted. The password was not correct so it would not pull in my emails.I can't seem to find out how to go back into my pop3 settings since the HTC Hero email application will not let me view my previous settings to make changes.There must be a way, I am just not seeing it.Please help me with the correct procedure.It tells me to select my email account from the drop down screen in my created email account, so, I select the email address that it shows that I created.

I'm a proud new owner of the HTC Hero, I have a very specific interest in getting my email 'just so' on my Hero, and I made it work great. I think others may be in this situation so I made some detailed instructions that I thought I'd share in case it helps some people.
First off this is for those who (but not limited to):
1) Use Microsoft Outlook POP3 Mail
2) Want to keep that as your main mail source, but want to receive duplicates on the phone.
3) Want to be able to reply to a message from your phone and have it appear as if you wrote it from your computer.
4) Receive it as fast as possible
5) Conserve battery life
6) Want to use the HTC Mail widget to preview your messages and have a mail envelope icon in your notification bar.
7) Filter spam and other unnecessary messages from getting to your phone
The best way to set up email on an android phone:
Benefits:
- Email pushed to you, so its recieved quicker and preserves phone battery life. I went from about 8 hour battery life to about 27 hours.
- Combines addresses into one neat mail location
- Lets you reply as if you're replying from any of those addresses
- Filters spam and unwanted messages from getting to your phone
- Many mail options in android by setting it up this way. Ability to flag messages, sort messages, etc.
- Lets you view and quickly flip through or delete messages in a widget.
- Eliminates the "on behalf of" statement when sending through gmail.
How to set up:
- get gmail account
- set up gmail account to receive your mail account(s)... as many accounts as you may have.
- set up filters to filter spam, and any regular messages you dont want forwarded to your phone
- set up outgoing smtp servers instead of using gmail's. I use authsmtp.com. they are good and cheap. This will let you send your messages as if they were from your Outlook account and not send it saying from <your gmail address> on behalf of <your address>
- If you have troubles sending, you might want to set your smtp server's option to send as SSL, and do the same in Gmail...then they should talk nicely.
You probably have a bunch of other settings you want to set between Gmail and your Outlook as well. For example, you want to set your Outlook to leave the messages on the server, and then probably delete them after 2 days (so they don't build up eating up hard drive space). Then in Gmail, make sure that that too does not delete the messages from the server, so that if Gmail checks it first, it leaves it there for your main Outlook account to still get. Gmail is very powerful, as is Outlook so go through your settings to make sure they are all set up the way you want. I'm sure I'm forgetting some things you need to do, so take this guide as a starting point.
On your phone...
Menu->Settings->Data Syncronization->Google
- have auto-sync turned off, & background data turned on (for other apps that likely need it)
- shut off gmail syncronization from the settings menu.
- set up microsoft exchange activesync with gmail:
the whole point of doing this instead of just using the gmail app is to do two things:
1) let us use HTC's nice mail widget to preview and flip through messages, and
2) to have an envelope indicating we have new mail up in the notification bar instead of an @ sign that the Gmail App shows.
Also, if you just set it up as POP3 mail (which you could do to achieve the same thing) the mail notifications will be much slower, and it will eat up your battery life. The Exchange ActiveSync will preserve battery life and push mail to you like the Gmail app does. So again the point here is so you can use the HTC Mail Widget (2 points above)
So to set up ActiveSync with Gmail:
email address (all lower case): user@gmail.com
server address (all lower case):m.google.com
domain:<leave blank>
username (all UPPER CASE): USER@GMAIL.COM
password:<your password>
- Probably do not sync your contacts, this can screw up what you already have.
- Schedule as items arrive.
Now you can add the HTC Mail widget to neatly view messages in a widget, and you'll have an envelope at the top when you get new mail instead of the gmail @ sign, save battery, filter out spam and other unnecessary messages from getting to your phone, and other reasons listed above.

I apologize in advance if this has been answered already but my search revealed nothing.
Question:
Does Microsoft Outlook need to be installed on a computer before that computer will recognize the phone so the SD can be mounted for file transfers back and forth?
I have tried to mount the SD on my wifes' HERO with no luck while its attached to her lappy. She does not have Outlook installed on that lappy. I do however on my pc and my pc recognizes the phone, allows me to Mount and Un-Mount the SD and transfer files.

How do you change the setting for how long an email can stay on your phone? Also, how can you set it, so you can delete the email from your phone, but keep it on the server.

A while ago I found a tip somewhere on how to get to some additional hidden android browser settings including how to change the user agent string so that the browser would identify itself as a desktop browser or iPhone browser while surfing. This setting is reset between sessions, I didn't use it frequently and eventually forgot how to go about making the change. Recently I had a need to access these hidden browser settings again and it took quite a long and frustrating search effort to finally locate this information which does not seem to be widely publicized. So, in an effort to save anyone else this trouble, I figured I would post the information on how to do this on a couple Android boards that I frequent and also include a few words that might be picked up as search terms for anyone else trying to find this info. The procedure is very simple. I currently have an HTC Sprint Hero running Android 1.5, so I'm not sure what other devices or builds this will work on..

I have had BlackBerry phones for a few years. Now switching to the Hero (love it by the way), I am trying to figure out if there is a way to filter the email that comes to my new phone.On BlackBerry, you could go to options, security and firewall. There you could choose to have email only come to your phone if was from someone in your contact list. Basically keeps all junk out.Is there anything similar to this on the Hero, or an app anyone knows of that can do this, or close?This is the main reason I quit using WinMo phones and went to BB.

I wanted to set up my hero to get my mail from work and calender ect. We use outlook. The question I have is whats the difference between active exchange sync and just setting up outlook like you would set up yahoo, gmail ect... Sorry if this is a dumb question but I just never had to use exchange before so im very unfamiliar with it. What I have been doing is just syncing my phone via usb with my home outlook.

I haven't been able to figure out how to change the google account I originally activated my hero with. The reason i want to change it is because my gmail app only opens email from that account, and I used a new gmail account to register my phone with that was specifically for my contacts, and now i cant check my other gmail accounts email. anyone know a good solution without having to format?

This is just some general ideas for getting the CM6/Froyo 2.2 running great
NANDROID:
Make a nandroid of your current rom or your stock rom. Always do a nandroid before flashing a new rom. It may save you one day
CM6:
If you are new to rooting, follow the exact steps Darch recommends in the CM6 thread xda-developers Make sure if you are coming from another rom, WIPE everything, Data, Cache and Davlik cache. Here is the zip file http://mirror.teamdouche.net/get/heroc/update-cm-6.1.0-RC1-Heroc-signed.zip for those of you wanting to download directly The phone will be just fine as is, but if you want the market.... you will have to flash the gapps
GAPPS:
If you want the Android market, gmail, etc... Here are the gapps [url] You will need to flash the gapps after flashing the rom. You can do this directly after you flash the CM6 rom. Then reboot phone. If that mirror does not work, look here [url]
GOOGLE ACCOUNT:
After the phone boots, you will need to sign into your Google account. This will give you access to the market, gmail etc... Any previous purchases from the Android market will be in the download section of the market. It could take 5-20 minutes for everything to sync to your new rom, so give it time
ANDROID MARKET DOWNLOADS:
There are a couple of applications from the market that will help backing up applications. I recommend using Titanium Backup or something similar. After wiping data, all previous downloads will need to be dowloaded again. TB helps in this by backing up applications in previous roms. This would be the first download from the Android market I would do, then open up application and press menu, batch and press RUN Restore all apps with data. This makes the process of restoring applications faster instead of searching for applications in the market
APPS 2 SD CARD
You can move applications to your SD Card without having to partition your card with Froyo 2.2. First, go into CyanogenMod Settings>Apllication Settings> and check the box 'Allow application moving'. Press 'install location' and choose 'External'.
Now, go back to 'Settings'(for the phone) and press 'Applications'. Make sure the box at the top 'Unknown Sources' is checked.
Press 'Manage Applications'. After your applications load, go down to each one you want to run from your SD Card and tap the application. This takes you to a screen and you will see in the middle/right of the screen (below 'Storage') where you press 'Move to SD Card' ( a few applications may not be able to move). Press that and wait a moment for the button to refresh, It will now read 'Move to Phone', showing you that the application was moved to your SD Card and you can press again to move the application back to your phone.
You will notice the amount of KB/MB for the application under 'Storage' has gone down. Some applications release more space than others but the application still needs some of the application to remain on the phone so it can be accessed (just like in cache) and find the application on your SD Card. Simply repeat this process for each application you want to move to your SD Card.
VOICEMAIL:
The CM6 does not have voicemail. I prefer Google Voice from the Android market. It is now open, no invitations needed. If you would like Sprint Visual Voicemail, here is link for Sprint VVM xda-developers - View Single Post - [ROM] CyanogenMod-6 for Hero CDMA - V6.0.0 (09/18/2010) Flash the zip file from recovery.
NAVIGATION:
After downloading the Maps application from the market, you will now have Google Navigation. If you prefer Sprint Navigation, here is the link for the apk xda-developers - View Single Post - [ROM] CyanogenMod-6 for Hero CDMA - V6.0.0 (09/18/2010)
OVERCLOCKING:
First thing you will need for adjusting frequencies, download OC Widget or SetCPU from the Android market. Not every phone will have the same OC settings, so the Min/Max settings may vary from phone to phone. But I would recommend the Min setting be at least 245. You will be able to OC to 768 on the STOCK kernel. If random reboots or freezes happen when setting at 768, lower the frequency until you find that 'happy' place for the phone.
You can also flash an Uncapped kernel which may result in a faster phone. Found here [Kernel] BrainFuct Kernel - UncappedKernel [09/22/2010] - xda-developers Make sure you WIPE Davlik cache before flashing one of the uncapped kernels. Decad3ance has stable and BFS kernels for the CM6. The stable kernels will be just fine, flash the BFS kernels at your own risk.
If you turn on/off your phone, will need to reset settings for the frequencies
BATTERY ISSUES:
If come to find that the battery is not so great, there are a couple of things you may want to do.
1. Make sure the sync settings for widgets and such are not having to sync every 5 minutes. For instance, I have Moblie Buzz widget set to sync every hour. If you are roaming, syncing will take a toll on the battery. Adjusting the settings of syncing may increase battery life.
2. Wipe the battery stats. Charge phone to 100%. DO NOT UNPLUG. Boot into recovery and wipe battery stats. Reboot phone. UNPLUG PHONE FROM CHARGER. Let the phone completely die to 0%. Plug in phone to charger. Charge phone back to 100%(DO NOT UNPLUG). Complete charge should take 4-5 hours. The green light comes on at 90% so for safe measure if you see the green light come on, leave the phone charging for another hour just to be safe.
3. Flashing an uncapped kernel will improve battery life
4. Try the battery tweak found here Collin_ph Battery Tweak RC1 for Cyanogen / Darch Froyo roms (possibly others) - xda-developers Collin has all information there. But before doing the battery tweak UNINSTALL OC widget and SetCPU You will be able to set the frequencies with the battery tweak, no need for OC widget and SetCPU. Collin just released a new update [url]
GPS:
If you are having trouble getting a lock of your GPS, download GPS Status from the Android market. Open up the app, press menu, settings, GPS & Sensors, Manage A-GPS state, press DOWNLOAD. If you are having trouble with GPS getting a lock, do the same as above and press RESET and then redownload.
LAG ISSUES:
Some may experience lag issues after some time after flashing. I would recommend getting a solid GPS lock. I don't know why this works but it works. Go into any MAP application and make sure your exact location is determined. I would HIGHLY recommend doing this right after flashing the rom. ENABLE Auto rotate in settings>display. Then go into CyanogenMod settings>User Interface>Uncheck> 90 Degrees and 270 Degrees.
LOCK SCREEN LAG:
Flashing an uncapped kernel will solve this issue
MMS FIX:
Some may have trouble with mms messages, look here for the fix xda-developers - View Single Post - Discussion of Cyanogenmod Nightlies for Hero CDMA Download Handcent from the market to blacklist any unwanted text messages.
OLDER GAPPS:
If you try to download something new from the Android market and you get an unsuccessful install. Use Titanium Backup. For instance, the new Gmail 2.3. Uninstall Gmail in TB. Reboot phone. Then go back into the Android market and download Gmail 2.3. If you flashed the new 9/17 gapps, you should not have any trouble downloading.
RADIO UPDATE:
WARNING: I HAVE ONLY TESTED WITH THE CDMA SPRINT HTC HERO! If you flash the wrong radio, serious issues may happen. Please do your research before flashing. Thanks to infintefx for a flashable zip for the baseband radio. Look here for 2.42.02.10.29 [url] Flash from recovery! There is NO NEED TO WIPE. Boot to recovery and flash the radio.
PRL UPDATE:
To update the PRL, you will have to flash to a sense rom, found here [ROM] 08/30/10 | Fresh Hero 2.4.0 | Incremental Update For Freshness - xda-developers To update PRL, Nandroid current rom, flash over to Fresh and update PRL, then restore nandroid back to CM6
SENSE UI in CM6:
Since the CM6 is an AOSP rom, there is no Sense UI. Look here for some great recommendations [url]
PERFORMANCE SETTINGS:
There are list of things in CyanogenMod settings that you can enable: JIT, Compcache, Enable surface Dithering and VM Heap. Enabling or changing some of these may improve the phone and some may cause issues. Change or enable at your own risk Need information about what each one does? Google it!
FORCE CLOSE ISSUES:
Some may experience some force close issues. You can Fix Permissions via Rom Manager. Go into Rom Manager, press 'Fix Permissions' and let it do its thing. Then reboot phone.
ANDROID MARKET ISSUES:
Some have trouble with the android market getting stuck on 'downloading...'. Before going into the android market, go into your GTalk application and sign into your GTalk account. Once you are signed into GTalk, there should not be any issues downloading applications from the market.
NIGHTLIES:
Look here for the nightlies [url] If you decide to flash a nightly, be warned there may be bugs The most recent nightly is at the top, by date and by number. To flash a nightly do this: Nandroid. Download nightly. Boot into recovery. WIPE ONLY Davlik cache and cache (some recoveries do not have the option to wipe cache, make sure you wipe Davlik cache though) Flash rom. Reboot phone. If you decide to flash a nightly, all of you settings, ringtones, applications.... will be as you left them. (As if you turned your phone off and back on) After flashing rom, you will have the stock kernel and you will have to flash the uncapped kernel again, flash the battery tweak and set frequencies for overclocking.

I had my Hero set the way I wanted it for the past 5 months, long story short, I ended up resetting the phone and am now try to add my yahoo mail, gmail, and my Exchange mail. When I setup my Exchange mail, I add an icon to my home screen, works fine. Then I bring another mail icon and add it to the homescreen and setup my yahoo mail, all is good, and so forth for my gmail. The way I had it set up before, I could click each Icon and get my mail accordingly in each of the 3 (mail) icons. In fact, before, one of the icons was even labeled "yahoo". NOW when I try to set it up, it wants to give me the same email in all folders. I do not have anything set as my default.

1. Can anyone comment on the relative differences (or strengths/weaknesses) between using "HTC Sync" versus "Companionlink" -- for bi-directional syncing between Outlook 2007 on a PC -- and Android 2.1?
2. I don't use GMail and I plan to use using a POP3 profile to access my webmail account. Will using either "HTC Sync" or "Companionlink" to sync my contacts -- allow me full access to the multiple email addresses I have stored in my PC's Outlook 2007 account -- for each of my contacts? Or do either of those applications only "capture" one email address data field?
3. Is it possible to compose and send an email in Android's POP3 client -- without necessarily Receiving (downloading) all email that happens to be in that POP3 host's Inbox? I can do this in Outlook -- just not sure about Android.
4. When using a Blackberry and IMAP -- you can specify that you only want the email headers downloaded to the mobile device -- not the entire email. Is this function (headers only) available on Android?
5. I'm assuming it is possible to setup multiple email profiles on Android -- and I am assuming that one can setup an IMAP profile AND a POP3 profile. But, is it possible to setup an IMAP profile for one webmail account (non-Gmail) -- download and read an email from that IMAP account -- but then reply to that email by selecting the POP3 profile that uses an alternate webmail account?
