So having recently migrated our mail over to Office-365, I was looking forward to using Exchange Active-Sync on my Android phone. The setup was fairly painless albeit a bit involved. There is a video guide here which I used to set mine up: http://www.gsu.edu/ist/email/configure-android.html
However, having set up active-sync I found that my phone was running out of storage space, even though I'd set it up to download only the last day's messages. So I deleted some messages to free up some space. I was surprised to find that they'd been deleted from my desktop computer also and were in Deleted items. This is perhaps useful behaviour for some people, as you have all email accounts with the same emails in them showing which one's you've read etc. However, phone's do have the issue of storage space which other devices generally do not. So what's the solution:
- Some people said K-9 mail app - but this doesn't support Office-365 - I tried.
- Some people said Touchdown app - but this costs £12.99 - apparently it does work - I've not tried it though.
For the time being I'm going to procrastinate over this one, delete an App or two and either hold off until my phone gets upgraded in about two months, or just pay the £12.99. I have to say, as good as the HTC Wildfire is, I am constantly getting low storage space warnings on it which drive me crazy!
