I have posted this a few times in the "issues" and "chatter" and one or two other people are having this problem. I have switched my exchange push email from mail2web (at least until they upgrade to Exchange 2007) to Windows live (hotmail) so that I can get pushed HTML. It is, for the most part, working very well in Kyphur's Rom, but there is one relatively major problem. I have indicated in sounds and notifications that I wish to receive sound and on screen notifications of all e-mail that arrives. Windows Live does not seem to be working properly in that you occasionally (1 out of 7-8 emails) receive a sound and on screen notification of email. I am guessing there is some kind of registry entry that could fix this. Any ideas or solutions would be welcome. I have placed Windows Live on the today screen, so I do get some indication of new mail, but no sound or pop up, so the screen must be turned on and you must be looking at it to see that there is new mail. Thanks in advance for any ideas or thoughts.
I find that Phonealarm works for me, always notifies of new 'pushed' hotmail.
I also get this problem, is there any suggestions?
It could be the problem of ROM you are using. I am using Faria's ROM and I checked Windows Live after getting to know about it from your thread. Its working fine but I think there are some time intervals even if you select for as it arrives option for SYNC of Windows Live. Thanks for the information, i was trying with mail2web but got the alternate. Do check with the ROM cooker.
Edited
Ok I got the main reason. If you are using any Live version and signed in through your Personal Computer not the windows mobile device then you will not get the Push Email as it assumes you are available somewhere to check the email. Do check about it and I am sure you will get the notification and sound if you are not signed in anywhere in world on Live messenger. You will be having this push email thing.

I know this issue may be rather minor, but it bugs me. Apparently, even if I set the Notification: Messaging: New e-mail message sound
it does not play when new mail arrives in my added accounts (regardless if pop, smtp, etc).
I was told by a Seven tech support rep. (the makers of Xpress Mail, on Cingular Siemens SX66) that it was a known bug, and that a trouble ticket was opened with MS.
1) does anyone have any workaround (like external s/w which would do this)?
2) I know the new mobile o/s is not on BlueAngels, but does anyone know if this is fixed with the new o/s?
3) Sometimes, when the moon is just right, and the messaging software is running in the background, with the machine powered off, when new mail arrives it will work. any clues why?
thanks
Yes, its really annoying, but I found the solution in installing 2 brilliant apps from PocketMax (www.pocketmax.net) Phone Alarm and AlarmToday
PhoneAlarm give you great contol over the audible and visula alerts missing in WM2003. (Use the "Joel Blue skin" when you install)
alarmToday includes as an option a fix to the WM 2003 wake up problem. The fix will make sure that the device wakes up when a new mesage come in, even when powered off. make sure you chech this feature when you install the app. It works great with the push e-mail client I use (www.alwaysonmail.com)
Try them all out for free. I think they will solve your problems!
Hope this helps

Still having the problem that when I get email pushed to my device thru Windows Live account I receive no onscreen notification or sound notification. Any ideas would be helpful. (yes i have email sould and onscreen notifications turned on)
I think I'm right in saying (correct me if im wrong here) that since windows live is a seperate program to the OS itself (outlook is part of the OS) there is no way for the OS to recognise an incoming email for that account, the only thing it does do is add the folders to outlook, maybe this is something that will be added in the future as I think I'm right in saying this is still in beta stage. I probably havent explained that right, maybe someone else might word it better

I changed my Rom to Black 2.0 and I now am getting normal notifications in Windows Live mail
I finally had an evening with WM6 LIVE and AS RECIEVED/ALWAYS on for emails and man is this QUICKKKKKKKK --- in terms of PUSH email its almost freakish fast.
I was sending emails from other accounts, specifically Yahoo and work accounts and BOOOOOOOOM it hit my 8525 almost instant...
Then - not sure if it was the reboot, or what, but I can no longer get those "as recieved" settings or anything other than MANUAL to stick for Email-SYNC.
Is there a new version or fix to make this work guys. Part of me makes me think this "could" be a server forcing those settings back to me but wanted to check.
I could not have been more impressed - it was lightning fast and I was feeling in love with hotmail again and thinking about forwarding to hotmail for that Push.
Advice? - thanks for anything ---- maybe there is a new version I just can not seem to find one.
Thanks all
Remove the settings from activesync (on your device). Now re-enter them and warm-boot the device:
to warm booth the device:
Press and hold the power button until the confirm box appears
Select Yes, the device will power down
power on the device as normal
Only thing i can think of is a soft reset was carried out before the settings took.
THANKS!!!
Man SO MUCH thanks for the quick response - I am trying RIGHT NOW!!!!
A million thanks - I am assuming they stick for you then correct?
Thanks!!!!!!!!!

My settings just work as normal, when there is a change on either the server or my device they synchronise.
OK - Let me be more clear ok.
This is WINDOWS MOBILE LIVE - then the settings associated with LIVE. Here is where you set how LIVE aka Hotmail will be delivered, which is essentially HOTMAIL-PUSH... Which is freakin awesome......... However, the settings (and I saw this posted once before) they wont stick. It now defaults back to MANUAL only and not AS RECIEVED.
So the steps are -
1 - LIVE is installed
2 - Synch performs first time
3 - Then in PROGRAMS you adjust the live settings, one is SYNC and this is the issue.
I checked for a Registry setting on the device but could not find any to hard-set them there.
Just fyi

Wndows LIVE Sync Schedule
The Setting is:
Option #3 - Sync Schedule
Option is - Sync Frequency (AS ITEMS ARRIVE)
This is the one that allows Push to be received on the 8525 and won't stick. BUT - it did last not and not sure if it is being Server governed. When this was in place I've seen PUSH perhaps better than I have with a BlackBerry. AMAZING.
But now it just resets to MANUAL once you save it with DONE.
Any help on this one folks is much appreciated.
Same Problem - No settings stick
I am having the same problems with my Windows Live settings. Just went to play around with the Sync Schedule settings and it looks like NONE of the settings stick, not just the delivery frequency. I didn't even have to soft reset for the settings to undo. So this is definitely an issue.
I have Live set to sync emails, but NOT messenger and contacts.
I noticed this happening last week with LSVW and still doing it today with Black VI.

I don't think it is really not sticking...it just shows as not sticking. I have noticed this back in wmxl 0.10 and even posted about it. Mine does not seem to stick either, but my hotmail stays constantly connected and shows up as pushed mail, even without settings sticking. the question I am dying to get answered? Are either of you able to get sound and onscreen notifications from windows live mail?
OK - I agree with you as well and noticed this after I posted. Oddly for some reason I was not getting some emails, dug, and saw nothing sticking but dont think that was the issue. I do as well see CONNECTED which makes me feel good.
Next - NO!!! I have tried like heck to see which alert ties to this but am not able at all as you mention to tie an alert/notification to the incoming LIVE emails.
Boy is this nice --- but a few items need worked out. I also wish somehow without servers that support Direct Push, I am in a major BlackBerry shop that I could get ActiveSync as middleware for PUSH. They removed the net option and I have tried every push option with not as much luck. I want ActiveSync with NET and PUSH/NetSync ....

Believe me I think I have looked at every possible registry entry and cannot figure out which one would fix this.
Anybody have the phone not waking up every once in a while after installing mobile live? It clearly what causes the problem because I used wm6 black 1.2 for a week and no problem then I installed live and my phone started hanging. Is there a solution for that problem?
I am having some weird issues with k9mail client with push mail not working consistently. Does anyone else have this problem?
Random times during the day, mails do not get pushed to me. I can't really discern a particular pattern of when it works and when it doesn't so I haven't been able to "reproduce" the problem at will. I've also turned on debugging and have been looking at the logs via aLogCat.
For Example
Let's say I start watching the logs at 1:00pm and this was the last time anything was logged by k9mail. Then I get an email to one of my accounts at 1:10pm (I found out via desktop mail client) but this mail does not get pushed to me so I don't get notified and k9mail is still not logging anything so there's no activity by the mail client.
1:25pm comes around, which is over the 24 minute imap idle refresh time configured but I still don't see any mails being pushed to me.
Sometimes the mail finally gets pushed, sometimes it doesn't get pushed for over an hour.
Anyone else have this issue? Any suggestions?
I am currently confined to using k9mail because it allows me to reply to emails received at one account with another account without using gmail's "Send As" feature.
Thanks!

At the times you're expecting the mail to push through, is your phone on or idle? Do you notice any discernible difference between the two?

Yes, the phone is on but it doesn't seem to matter if it is on (screen on) or idle (screen off).
This would be the sequence of events:
1) The phone is on but screen off (idling)
2) I notice that I received an email through my desktop PC
3) Look at my phone, LED is not blinking so it has not been pushed the email
4) I turn the screen on and unlock it, still is not pushed
5) I opened up the k9mail app, still not pushed
At this point, I can turn the screen back off and eventually I would get notified but when this problem is occurring, it takes too long for the mail to get pushed to me and this problem really defeats the purpose of push mail.
Thanks for the reply!

Seems like you're not the only one with this issue. I would completely remove the application, wipe cache on the phone in recovery (power + volume up if not rooted), reinstall and set it back up. If that doesn't fix push, set it to poll every 5 minutes.

I've definitely seen reports of this issue. Really not sure if it's the OS, phone, or k9mail.
Here's a k9mail bug that was reported that I added onto with logs:
http://code.google.com/p/k9mail/issues/detail?id=3847
If anyone else is having the same issues, please add a comment so that it get some more attention.
Could this be the same issue described in detail here?
code.google.com/p/k9mail/issues/detail?id=4347
This issue has recently appeared on my phone as well. I had been using K9 for my work email for over a year on my Evo 4G without any problems. About two months ago I picked up a Samsung SG3 (Sprint) and installed K9 on there as well, with no problems whatsoever. All of a sudden around September 5th, I started noticing that I would get my desktop notifications before my phone would receive my emails, which I couldn't recall ever happening in the entire time I had been using K9. I had not make any network changes, system changes, or anything like that. It just stopped working as it normally did one day.
Long story short, I've been having the same issue as you described in the OP. I've tried installing and uninstalling multiple versions of K9 (4.119, 4.200, 4.201, 4.304, 4.306) with the same results.
My work email is hosted by GoDaddy (yes, they are terrible) and as you can expect, I tried getting some support from them and they said that everything was working as it should. I've also tried sending the K9 devs a few emails regarding the issue along with a bunch of catlogs, but not one of them has responded to me. Oh well, it was a great app when it was working.
Oh, and for what it's worth, I had tried setting up 3 different imap email accounts on K9, my work account hosted by GoDaddy, a Gmail account, and a Yahoo account. The Yahoo and Gmail ones pushed emails immediately, whereas the work one would only push at the "refresh idle connection" intervals.
First time on here so please be gentle with a Newbie
Up until yesterday my Lumia 930 running windows 10 was working brilliantly.
I switched on today and received notifications of new mail messages. When I tried to use email from the live tile, mail opens momentarily then closes instantaneously, the same happens with calendar. No matter what method I use to open email, it’s the same.
I checked my apps list and it shows Outlook Mail and Outlook Calendar 16006.11001.20083.0 was updated today.
Any ideas please, I don’t really want to have to a factory reset all over aging as I did a couple of months back, it take so long and I always loos e something along the way.
Any useful advice greatly appreciated.

I had a similar issue and a reset caused the exact issue you describe. First the update occurred Monday or Tuesday of last week. Then after a couple days noticed I wasn't getting text messages which was odd. Then noticed my sound notification went off as a text came in but when I opened the messaging app could see nothing in there. Next one that came in I had the phone in hand at time of text and saw whom it was from and was able to search that person and see their text - tough way to run a business!!! A quick search found similar issue back in 2016 and only fix was a reset.
Once I ran the reset I have not been able to use outlook or outlook calendar they open and close within seconds never actually launching. I performed 3 resets since Wednesday and could not get outlook to work or my contact list to load. this morning I reverted back to windows 8.1 and for now though I can no longer get any OS updates thanks to MS stellar customer appreciation initiative (Use our product then discontinue the product line). But I can use the phone with my email, texts and phone again for the first time this week. Soon as my VZW contract is over I am ditching VZW and Windows phone and going back to android.
Sorry I have no real solution for you. I may try to re-image again with windows 10 to see if I can get outlook to work again, but I would suggest finding a 3rd party email client you can install.
