No doubt A2DP/Pushmail is an excellent feature available with Universa but at the same time is the worst thing to pay some extra money on monthly basis to use it.
Can anybody find/help to suggest free pushmail service providers?
I may be a foolish person to ask this question but anyway want to save some money which I believe everybod wants

Are you having a laugh?
Nothing is free in life, the only way your gonna get push email without subscribing to a server is to get your own exchange server.
That's like asking if u can get ADSL without paying for it :roll:
Right
Ha ha Ha
You are right but one should look into the solutions. can you tell any site which has lower charges
Try getting your own exchange server? :wink:

I think mail2web one is free? Not sure. I went with the £4/mth 4smartphone.net one, just in case. It's fecking superb.
Don't be so sure... There could be websites that could offer free Exchange Accounts in order to send you advertising emails and stuff...
Something which a lot of people would be willing to accept in many cases...
I am using http://www.vgsmail.com/ppc/ with my IMAP account, and everything is great. You only pay it once, and you can use it to receive Push email from any compatible account...
There aren't of course the advantages of an Exchange server, but it is an excellent solution for anyone first time learner you wants to see the possibilities offered by Push Email...

This note on the vgsmial website is worrying though:
"Note: We announced the future closure of this service on 31/8/2005. However, vgsmail will continue to function for the foreseeable future under the following conditions:
* Support will be reduced to an absolute minimum and will be limit to significant outages, other system-wide issues or specific problems with credit on accounts.
* No refunds will be issued for credits made after 31/8/2005. "

This only applies to the Service VGSMAIL which was a email Provider. It does NOT apply to the software for PPC which is something completely different.

FREE PUSH EMAIL SERVICE :lol:

Does that means the latest QTEK 9000 push email service is of no use now?
Thanks
I'm testing a exchange server with my own adsl connection. some people say you only need 20 mb traffic a month for pushmail, so i think 15,- will be far to much for this service.
the only thing you will need:
- adsl connection
- domain (7,- for a year)
- a computer that doesn't eat much electricity and is up for 24/7
- MS 2003 + exchange server (may be expensive....)
the only thing that will be difficult is to make good backups.
save the money for the domain and sign up at dyndns.org, it's free and made for changing IPs :wink:

I believe there's some sort of program to filter unwanted periodic follow-up e-mails from emoze, right?

Hi!
How to set up mail2web?
I signed up for a FREE mail2web LIVE account. Sent an email from Hotmail to Yahoo Mail (set to forward to mail2web) but not seeing anything on my QTEK 9000 (with latest ROM update)
I thought mail2web LIVE is FREE?
Quote from mail2web
"Note: You cannot check your email through POP3 or send email through SMTP with your mail2web LIVE account. These features are only supported in the paid plans. You must use Outlook Web Access to check and send email."
So, its not as easy as ABC, huh?
:roll:
I assume you've set up your mail2web "Exchange Server" in ActiveSync on your JasJar?
Once you're logged in to your mail2web account, you can get the settings that need to be entered into ActiveSync from "E-Mail Settings" link on the control panel:
https://support.mail2web.com/FreeServices/Exchange/ManageAccount.asp
Put the user ID and server address into AS and choose to update 'as and when' new mail arrives, and you're up and running...
any of you guys come across this app.. it's for getting push e-mail without an ms exchange server.
question: has anyone got a way round applying this to hotmail? i think the trick is to get outlook to accept hotmail and then use this app.
also, i'm running on vista so this isn't yet compatible.. anyone aware of a similar app - i can use with my hotmail - that'll do the trick?
thanks guys..

sorry to be a pain... don't think i can forward my hotmail messages... can i?
are you able to explain how to do this and any implications?
cheers...
I have had a quick look at this app and it seems like a good thing to me - bearing in mind I've seen other push email accounts charging £15 a month.
I have a couple of questions though, someone here might know the answer.
AIUI the email is delivered over GPRS so you need to be connected all the time.
so the first question is what sort of data gets transferred if you are connected all the time but not actually downloading anything? for example if you look at your broadband connection, even when you are not using it, small amounts of data are sent/received periodically. over the course of the day this could quite easily add up!!
next question is, although I have an O2 Orbit, I'm not actually on O2. I have a temporary T-Mobile sim card while I wait to start my new job and they give me my new phone (I'll just take the sim out and put it in my orbit). I have only seen an option to set up the configuration for O2. Can the GPRS settings for other networks be entered manually? or will I have to remove all the O2 settings that are installed after a hard reset to enable me to do this? (not something I really want to do)
In answer to the other comments about mail2web and mail2wap. I have been using this site for years and years, the only thing is you have to connect to the web and then check your mail....you might not have any but you still have to pay to connect and transfer data. Hence the push email is a better idea as you KNOW you have mail as opposed to checking in case you MIGHT have some with mail2web.

My understanding is that the free Mail2Web Live product uses the older Always Up To Date technology. i.e. it sends you a silent text message when new email arrives which triggers Pocket Outlook to connect by POP or IMAP and get your mail.
That is not a push mail product. It is a triggered pull. Not bad for free, but one should be clear it does not include Direct Push... unless something has recently changed (please feel free to correct me)
Mail2Web also offer Personal Exchange, a paid hosted exchange service which has Direct Push. I personally did not like their service as I was unhappy with the Junk mail filtering they use, but their most basic hosted exchange service with Direct Push is extremely cheap... though not free.
so, let me just make sure that I understand this correctly....
the mail2web live product whilst not being a true push service does advise me that I have received an email by sending a silent SMS which tells my device to connect to the net and sync with the mail2web server to get my emails yes? (assuming I am somewhere where I have wifi or internet access)
that doesn't sound too bad....as basically what I am after is something that tells me I have an email when it arrives in my inbox. All I need is a text message telling me who it's from and the subject. That way I can decide whether I want to connect to the net and pick up the email or whether it's something that can wait.
is there anyone who offers a service like that? (I think hotmail do but I don't want to use hotmail)
many thanks

Sorry to the Mods if this is getting off-topic (realize this is an Artemis - Emoze thread... please move if appropriate!)
Goota be honest, it is a few months since I used any Mail2Web service so I can only report on my past experience. I recall they had fairly responsive/informative support by email and recommend you ask them directly.
I think Always Up To Date (AUTD) doesn't work quite the way you describe... not that it is bad at all, and it may well do what you need. Anyway, how it works is you would be installing a little application on your device which can recognize a special hidden/silent text message from the Exchange Server (you cannot see or read this message). It just tells you device that there is new email, that is all, Then your device switches on (screen goes on, comes out of suspend) and does a an email logon as if you had opened the relevant Pocket Outlook email account and hit the send/receive choice. It then logs on from scratch and retrieves your email (just headers or everything will based on your settings).
The good is this is may be free and can work on a pre-WM5 device. The downside is that it is much slower than true Direct Push and uses more battery. With Direct Push a handshake is already established with the Exchange Server and when you new mail arrives it drops into you mailbox within seconds without your device even needing to come out of standby. You just hear the audio alert of email arriving (depending on your prefered settings).
I tried the least expensive paid Exchange Service from mail2web. It was only about 2 USD a month with no contract so I am not complaining. I personally didn't like that, for me, it incorrectly marked almost every single message as Spam and I could not adjust this adequately unless I upgraded to their most expensive Exchange offering... which costs about the same as other similar services.
I am trying out the 1 and 1 Exchange service at present. OK, not fantastic. Probably we should have a thread specially for a good email round up... likely there is one already and I should probably be posting there....
HTH
What you need is WM6 with Windows Live!
I have a Wizard running WM6... just got my XDA Orbit on O2, WM5 :-(
On WM6, the MSN service is replaced with Windows Live, and that allows you to configure a hotmail account to sync up automatically or at specific intervals.
You can do it in WM5 using the MSN messageger with an ID linked to your hotmail acocunt, but you have to be logged in to messgencger for it to work.
If anyone can extract the Windows Live component form a WM6 rom....
I recently tried another application from qore.
The idea is that you get your emails forwarded to a service that texts you when you get an email (in my case T-Mobile offers this service). The application intercepts this text (you receive no notification, it's all done in the background) and triggers a send/receive on the email account specified on your unit. In my case connecting via GPRS and downloading my emails.
sadly, it seemed to interrupt random texts and since it's done in the background, you don't even know that the text has been intercepted. I was getting angry phone calls from my mates asking why I hadn't replied to texts, that I hadn't even seen!!
Push Email
1. Register a Hotmail account and use the included Microsoft Pocket MSN software it works!
2. Register an account with http://www.consilient.com it's free and allows push mail from many services...
Hope this helps..
I would like email "pushed" to my Orbit however, Im a bit confussed.
If I register with mail2web or port88 will that give me a new email address that people can send directly too which will be automatically pushed to my Orbit.
Or will people need to forward to my existing address, which will then need to be forwarded to mail2web and then pushed to my orbit.
Putting it simply........I would like email pushed to my PDA, can this be done through a mail2web account ONLY. IE by people sending email directly to [email protected] (for example) or does another ISP need to forward it on to mail2web first?
PLEASE PLEASE help!!
Rob.
If you have a Microsoft Exchange server delivering your email at work and you have Outlook web access, then try www.emoze.com. There's no need to change your email address with their service, it's free and gives you push email capability to your mobile device.
Push email - Morange
After a long search and not entirely satisfied with the options,
I found Morange and after speaking to the guys in Singapore, they e-mailed me a version that works on the O2 XDA Orbit. Simple and effective, worth looking in to it
http://monet.morange.com/
I started using today and it is pretty good. There are still few things to improve regarding settings, but seems that they are doing a good job.
The file is here: Best of luck.
I have been using Emoze for a couple of years now and it works very well.
the question remains the same though carlitos...do you have to have your mail forwarded to the email address given to you by morange? which is then pushed to your device?
Morange
No, it works like the Blackberry Connect as I had on the MIni S.
A copy is left on your server, and you get the first 5000 chars.
I use blueyonder and my work e-mail, it so far so good!
Hope it helps!
Hello,
I have a question I can't seem to find the answer to anywhere. We are upgrading from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2010 at my work, while testing Exchange 2010 I found out that activesync (push) email works great on iPhones and iPads, but not on my Droid Incredible . I can create the account just fine and manually refresh to see my mail, but if I have my exchange activesync email set to "as items arrive" and send myself a test email, I don't get it until I open up the email app and it refreshes.
I'm using the default htc email app, I have tried deleting and recreating my account several times. If I have the setting set to any thing else, like sync every 5 minutes it works just fine, but for some reason if it's set to as items arrive I won't get the email until I manually look at the email app. I can't deploy exchange 2010 with this going on as we have many other android users in the company.
Please help!
The Android native email application needs improvement no doubt. I use TouchDown as we have Exchange 2007 and are enforcing security policies. Those don't work too well with the native application.
Push works great, but it's a one time fee of $20, but in my opinion worth it.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA Premium App
Thanks RMarkwald! I downloaded and tried out TouchDown and it works great for Exchange 2010. At least I have a solution if users start complaining about push no longer working after we upgrade.
Hopefully htc will get an update out for this at some point because a simple thing like activesync should work on the stock email app.
Hey no problem! I think that the issue is more of an Android issue, not really HTC, cause it happens across the board. I've had nothing but issues before I purchased TD, and that was before we enabled PIN/security features. $20 is a lot, but my company purchased it for me, and I can use it on my Xoom without having to pay another $20, so IMO it's worth it.
Their support is great too, from the times I've contacted them with questions. I really like you can sync Tasks and manage your Out of Office too.
Ok, let's try to explain my goal:
my work email allows me outside intranet access if entering via phone browser only. Access setting up an exchange account doesn't work and forwarding email (to mail gmail) it's blocked. All my bosses own a company blackberry and they DO have email pushed to their phone. This morning a colleague (not a boss) whith his own (not company) blackberry has been able to have the email pushed to his phone, using standard exchange "procedure" (name, password, exchange server). We are a bunch of colleagues android/iphone equipped but nobody else never suceeded in this contest. This is really upsetting me! I'm thinking that trying to make my company server thinking I'm accessing via a blackberry should do the trick, but never read a similar request/tentative before. Plan B could be finding a (paid) service which could fetch via webmail my emails and then forward them to my gmail (as gmail fetcher isn't able to fetch via webmail) but couldn't find nothing similar on the net.
Hope to have explained properly... any idea?
Tks folks
