My Droid routinely erases my *entire contacts list* and deletes my email settings. And, there is no spell check in the email. Buyer beware! Some parts of the software are HORRIBLE.

It would really be nice if the Droid allowed you to see the Contacts by Groups as in Google. I spent hours categorizing my contacts and then on the Droid they are just alphabetical and I can not even change it to be alpha by last name rather than first. Biggest thing would be to be able to see the groups as alist and then let me pick the list and dial.

Im searching for a solution for the Outlook exchange issue with the Droid. As Mandroid wrote back in Nov, 2009 he couldn’t figure out how to get Outlook exchange to work…i too have used the IT department which has many different platforms of phones using Outlook and still today NO SOLUTION for the Droid. Of course by 30 day return is over so i’m going to set up a site that will let Droid purchasers know that the Droid CAN’T WORK IN AN OUTLOOK environment. there are no visible solutions being presented anywhere. the Droid market site has nothing to offer. BTW, my Iphone took 5 minutes to set up

You can link your yahoo account. I found a guide. Just google it. You have to manually do it though. Is not hard at all.

Are they ever going to have voice dial from bluetooth. With all the new laws regarding cell phone usage coming out I think this would be a very important issue!

I used the palm website article ID: 810930-How to import address book from Palm desktop to Outlook- but the info from my Treo 650 contacts did not transfer into the contacts.csv file as it is in the treo, and some info did not transfer from the .csv files to the phone portal on the Moto Milestone. I am able to get around gmail, but now have to redo it all some how to get all of the info, or manually input the missing data. I just did not want all of my contact info on a Gmail server. I just want to sync with my pc. The other info I will run through gmail. Any ideas?

I also just lost ALL my email settings. Had a private POP account and corporate Outlook Exchange account set up on my phone and was working BEAUTIFULLY, but went to check my mail and NO SIGN OF EITHER ACCOUNT!!! This is NOT cool!

Email App Hang and Push email from Exchange 2007 Issues?

Let me start by saying this is the best smart phone I have ever had. Of course there are problems but all but one (hardware keyboard design) can be fixed with software patches.

These are the main problems I have been having.

1. I have had to force quit the email app many times, usually when the app is in the background.

2. Yesterday the phone lost all email settings and when I launched the email app the phone prompted me to set up an account?

3. Push from our company’s Exchange 2007 server works when it wants to. (This is definitely a big problem being in my position; I need to get email alerts immediately) Most of the time to receive new email I have to refresh the account I hope there is a fix soon. I am a system admin for my company and personally set up the Exchange 2007 server. The server works solid with iPhones, WinMo phones, and even “plays” well with our BES server. I don’t believe this problem is just a case of a misconfiguration on either the phone or Exchange side.

Is anyone else having these issues? Does anyone have any suggestions or solutions to these issues? Also is there anyway to get spell check for email, it is imperative in most corporate environments.

I also see that the “FIX” will come out after most droid owners 30 day return period is up. How convenient.

Actually you can move your email indipendently from your host to Google Apps. I did that myself from GoDaddy, they still hosts my website and Google Apps hosts my email. Works just fine with my Droid.

You could also use Gmail to retrieve and send your email from your business email address. Nobody would know the difference because everything would still go through your original email address with gmail sending and recieving them. I did this for a friend who didn’t want the hassel of changing email addresses. That also worked very well.

bummer! can’t find a way to tie to outlook 07! (not exchange) This is key for a small business with website and email address that matches. Can’t really make the move to gmail. HELP!
