Correction: the stock Android app does not use OWA, it uses ActiveSync -- and it can do that because Android device manufacturers either have the necessary license from MS, or don't care (Chinese manufacturers).

OWA is used by K-9.

Push should be technically possible with EWS, but -- sorry -- I've got other things to work on, too.

So there is already an illness named after me, I feel honored

Yup - so you should be

As for the MS stuff, I'll ping you in a PM with some more questions.

I'm using EWS exclusively.

Oh and btw - seems like I was able to resolve the issue with Forefront (MS firewall / proxy for Exchange) blocking my app.

I'm testing privately right now, will post a new dev build soon, for those affected.

The new nav drawer is nearing useful state too.

Hello,

I purchased the pro version hoping for an alternative to Touchdown for my work email which uses ActiveSync Exchange. Touchdown is rock solid but the UI is cumbersome. I'm a hospice nurse and rely heavily on my phone in the field.

I can't seem to get Aqua Mall to recognize my work account. I tried the manual set up with "m.outlook.com" as the server (which is what Touchdown uses) with no success.

Searching online for a solution, I found this thread. I didn't realize there are various flavors of Exchange. Does this mean I can't use Aqua Mail for my work email?

Hello,

TouchDown and stock email use something called ActiveSync.

My app (and MailDroid) use something called EWS.

Is your account hosted by Office 365, by any chance?

If it is, please use Manual account setup and enter outlook.office365.com as the server name.

If this is a Hotmail account, please select "Internet mail" not "Exchange mail", then after entering your name / email / password, press Manual, and enter:

- Incoming server: type IMAP (top of the screen)
Server: imap-mail.outlook.com
Encryption: SSL
Server port: 993

- Press Next to go to outgoing server setting and enter:
Server: smtp-mail.outlook.com
Encryption:  TLS
Server port: 587

I tried outlook.office365.com but received a message that the server was forbidden. It's not Hotmail. I'll check with our IT guy later and see if I can use EWS at all. Thanks for your help.

Feature Request.

Select default font of out going mails in rich text editor.

Ramkumar.

PS - I'm not seeing much feedback on Exchange/EWS.... Did this turn out to be a feature that barely anyone needs?

No, we need it, but most of us aren't patient enough to create an account here to tell you--we just go straight to the competition. I'd love to see it as the app rules every other way. Thanks!

[Kostya Vasilyev]

Um, @malarkey -- not sure I got your meaning about "aren't patent enough"?

Are you implying that creating an EWS account in Aqua is too complicated?

Is it significantly different with Mail Droid, another app that uses EWS?

Or maybe you're not aware that EWS support in Aqua has been shipping since 1.3.8, around last New Year's, so for a few months already?
