Re: N9/N950 Email/Mail for Exchange - Get help & give feedback here
 

Bummer, I was only using Hotmail MfE for mail, nothing else... :-/
Oh well, not a huge issue for me personally, don't use Hotmail for email as much as Gmail.
Plus never really cared about up-to-date (push) for many of my accts, mostly have it set at intervals.
So a bog standard mail acct set-up, as opposed to a MfE one will suffice I guess.

according to this tread, EAS 2.5 is properly supported by N9, moreover, EAS 14 is supported too (not fully supported, but still it can be used for syncing). Can someone build MeMailSettings from a new_protocol_support branch and check will it work or not if you are forcing as-daemon to use protocol 2.5 or 14?

NOTE: I haven't tested this branch well, so be careful with other accounts.

@Sergey

So you're saying if we use the latest build of MeeMailSettings to force as-daemon* to use protocol 2.5 or 14...
Then we may be able to use Hotmail MfE again... Instead of having to set-it-up as a: "Other mail account"?

*what's that?

I don't know if it is possible or if it has been answered before, but is there a command line or dbus to ask for more emails to be downloaded for one account? (ie, doing automatically something equivalent to the "Get more messages" button)

And the opposite way, is it possible to remove old emails from the "cache"?

hi,
I've built the package as Sergey mentioned it can be found here: http://db.tt/rllGdrDy
however, i'm unable to build an as-daemon for the protocols...could someone help me out...thanks...

Re: N9/N950 Email/Mail for Exchange - Get help & give feedback here
 

Many thanks for this, Sergey!

I am not sure where to find the "as-daemon" setting but using the source I deployed the build to my N9 and found a setting called "Force EAS protocol version" in the Easy tweak mode.

When I turned it on, a text box was displayed. I entered "2.5" and pressed "Save Setting".

That was it.

My Hotmail emails are now syncing.

Edit: I've attached the build, but as Sergey has warned, you may use it with caution..

Re: N9/N950 Email/Mail for Exchange - Get help & give feedback here
 

hi i deployed from the source too but couldn't get that setting in the easy tweak mode...would you care to share your build?

EdIt: Just realized i downloaded the wrong branch..building and deploying now...


Edit 2: Managed to build it with a version number 1.0.1 so the software updater won't bug you to update to v0.0.9. It can be found here: http://db.tt/0iZOlKWD

I can't express how thankful I am for this!!!!!!! Just tested and worked perfectly!

I've been living with no mfe for hotmail for the past month and it has been the most frustrating experience. I've been a big fan of MS since I had my hotmail account years ago and have always preferred hotmail over gmail. To see it breaking and MS not doing a darn thing about it was the worst. I was seriously considering giving up on hotmail if this wasn't gonna get fixed soon.

This is soo awesome!

I don't suppose you could briefly outline how you built it? TY.

EDIT:
Never-mind, I think I've got it now...
Still, it would be nice to have a better guide than what's floating in older threads.

I didn't do anything special. I had a QT Creator setup based on harmattan documentation.
I simply downloaded the branch, opened up the project, clicked build and deploy menu items in Qt creator, and the version got installed.
I don't know much about Qt but I had set it up a few months back to learn app development for the N9.

Anyway I've attached the build to my previous post.
