http://forum.xda-developers.com – I've spent the whole night trying to figure this out so hopefully the information is useful for some of of you The usual scenario is that the phone is encrypted due to using Exchange email (eg. Corporate email) and now you can't upgrade or root it. The first thing to do is to delete that email account and hopefully the phone will decrypt itself or the option appears when you go to phone security settings. You can also try to access the corporate email via a browser and delete the mobile connection. This worked for me previously but it doesn't now - I don't know if its because I'm using (HowTos)

Hi folks I have set up my pop3 email account on my Samsung S4 with no difficulty. However, I also use an email client on my pc and I wish to have them both set NOT to delete email from the server. That way I get all email on both devices and the PC is already set to do this.

My HTC One X on AT&T is connected to a corporate email system. Earlier this week, appointments started dropping off my calendar at random. I probably have about 10% of the items that should be on the calendar and I'm not sure how ot resolve. Email coming from the same system is working fine.

all my personal contacts are synced to my gmail account, which honestly consist of not more than a hundred people.

yesterday, i added my corporate email to my phone and forgot to remind myself not to tick on the "exchange sync contacts" - i was actually only going for the mails.

I have a retail version of Razr M on Verizon in US. The phone is currently running an unrooted stock version of ICS (4.0.4). I am using this phone for corporate email, which requires client certificates for authentication. When Verizon JB OTA was released, I installed it on my phone and immediately lost access to my corporate email due to an Android bug in JB (Android issue 34577).

Hi XDA,

Following History: Started ICS Stock 4.0.3 I tried to play around with Stock-Email and ActiveSync. Policies dangled me to encrypt everything. Encrypted Phone and SD Experienced it to be too slow Decrypted Phone and SD Deleted ActiveSync account Tried to run a script to remove Policy handling didn't work

Kies update to ICS Stock 4.0.4 Email icon disappeared from Applist, no

Secure Email App 32 weeks 4 days ago

I'm looking for an Android email app which stores my email password encrypted on my phone. I've read that the default email app stores the password to my email account in plaintext. So I've been looking for a replacement email app that I could install. A paid app would be fine and it needs to encrypt my email account password.

Connect to Email Account 1 year 2 weeks ago

I am new to this mobile phone, in fact to any smartphone. I am trying to connect to my email account and thought I had entered the correct settings but it doesn't happen. I don't know if I am at fault or the phone just can't connect to the account. My email: is Zoho.com

Hello,

Every time I receive a notification of a new email my phone vibrates and I can not figure out how to get it to stop.

I have opened my email and gone to Settings -> Clicked on my gmail account -> unchecked vibrate and email notifications

But they persist, its like the email in the notifications and the email app are two separate things, but I can't find where to turn the other
