Multiple exchange on Evo

[htabbach]

I am very new to Android coming from webOS, on my Pre I was able to sync multiple exchange accounts. I am trying to add my hot mail account as a second exchange account on my new Evo and it does not give me the option.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I didn't know hot mail had exchange service how do you set that up?

Thanks,
Dave

Huh? Are you talking about adding your hotmail account to sync your phone? If so, just follow the same steps you did to set up your other (POP3/IMAP) accounts.

Note: Hotmail doesn't have an exchange service.

To get multiple exchange accounts on the evo you will need to install the stock mail android app. The Htc mail only allows one.
You will need to side load the stock mail app. Do a search for it on xda developers site and you will find it. Make sure you use the one for os 2.2

Pretty sure I heard that hotmail does support exchange services. New feature they recently added.

Hotmail does allow for EAS on Android devices now, although some HTC owners have had issues. After the latest 3.70 update, I was able to get my Live account setup on Exchange. I have one exchange account setup on the default HTC mail app, and then I installed the default Android client for my work exchange account.

URL - m.hotmail.com
Username - Enter full name with domain info, e.g. john@hotmail.com
Domain - Leave blank (see Known Issues for some Nokia devices)
SSL - Enabled
Certificate - Accept the SSL certificate when prompted
Mail, Contacts, Calendar, Tasks - All can be enabled.

My apologies... I stand corrected.

Just set this up it worked great.

D5, glad you got it working. I know that some Evo owners were able to get it up and running once they had 2.2, but I don't know if they were rooted and running custom ROMs or not. I haven't heard of anyone that was running the latest update not be able to setup their Evo with EAS afterwards ... surprised they (HTC or Sprint) didn't make a bigger deal of this.

Yes, Hotmail now offers exchange sync, if you want I can get you the instructions.

Update: I see you got it in another reply
