Help Work Emails Won't Work!!!!

[lakersfreak]

Hello to All. Let me begin by stating that this is my first Andoid phone. I had blackberry phones for the past 8 years.

I have 4 email accounts set up on my phone, 1 live and 3 work. The live one works perfect. The work ones I access through outlook from my computer. I manually inputed all the settings for my work email on my phone (income server, POP, etc....). Only 1 of the accounts are working and its verrrrrrrrrrrrryyyyyyyyyy slow. I get emails 6 hours later (NOT GOOD FOR WORK) and the other 2 don't work at all!!!! What to do? This is very important to me. I never had these issues with my blackberry phones. Any help is greatly appreciated.

You need to talk to your IT guys at work to verify the right settings for the work emails.

BB's use a connector, either BES if it's a business exchange server, or you go through the BIS connector. So, your phone never did the email, RIM's servers acted as the mail client and just passed them on to the phone. (I am a system admin, email admin, and long time BB user myself.)

Androids work differently. The email client runs on the phone. Sometimes POP is not the right way to access the account. You might need to use IMAP or an Exchange connector (Like ActiveSync) if it's an Exchange server.

The only people that can help configure your work email settings will be the guys that run your email server at work.
