Free Push mail!!!

First of all, a disclaimer I am in no way affiliated with this company.
I just thought to let you know about the fact that I found a company who offers FREE MS Exchange hosting, with 1GB (!) mail storage, with push email for WM5.
After I flashed my unit yesterday, I bumped to this on Google. I signed up, and it seem to work fine. The only catch so far is, that they offer some ads in the webmail, and you cannot access it via POP, but other than that its fully functional. And there seem to be no ads sent to your mobile. (So far)
Its here: http://live.mail2web.com/
Offcourse, you still need to have GPRS data on your phone account, but this is usually much cheaper than to get a blackberry service. At least in Europe it is.

Bela

Did you intend to offer up what the name of the service was?
NEVERMIND THIS POST. I was reading too fast. LOL

I think the only negative to mail2web's push mail service is that your email will have to be [email protected], if you want your current email address you'd have to upgrade to a charged account. http://mail.port88.org is an alternative that does provide email masking, you would have to forward your mail to your port88 account. www.emoze.com is another provider, you simply download the software to your pc and phone and it syncs between the two. I haven't tried any myself , you can read the thread on Port88 http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-273878.html. Hope this helps

You can forward all mails from your existing mailbox to go to the mail2web.com account as well.
You can even setup, that the mail2web account fetches your pop or imap mailboxes for you, but only once per hour i think.
I use the forward, that way I have my incoming mails kept in my original pop mailbox, and just auto forward a copy to the mail2web acc.

There was one software which I hoped I could get running on the smartphone, as that was Pocket IRC. I tried and tried (even with SPHelper, there's an adjust option that makes it appear) but no amount of workarounds got it running. I need my DCC, err I want, rather.

Just installed emoze seems to be working very well, will check my GPRS usage online tom to see if used much data through the night, has a built in data counter but want to know over all data.
Will post findings as seems to be a good push mail client.

Please do I'm very interested in your results.

Well got it all set up but couldn't send mail via client, mind you was silly o'clock i was trying to work it out and my i.s.p online billing off so no way to find out GPRS usage, so will try and get it set up correctly today and see if GPRS usage available, then give you low down.

To be hoest i'm rather dubious about data as it has to connect o there server before push and always keep the GPRS connection active...

That's somewhat discouraging. Hmm well I'll have to check it out myself and see if I want my default or what have you

So did you ever end up getting the data usage, as I am just curious to find out how much it uses?

No as i couldn't get data usage before install as account offline when tryed to check, so had nothing to be able to check against, aslo i couldn't get it to send not had time to set up again yet, but now have my GPRS usage so will set up again tonight and see what the data usage is like, i know it only uses data to send recieve but it also has to reconnect to server if connection dropped thats the bit i wonda what ammount of data it uses?

Edit: given up as must have messed something up on install as evrytime i go to send it kicks the server off, tryed to reinstall but residue left over so i'm giving up as i can't be bothered, worth a try but then maybe instructions on web and having a proper uninstall would help..

Live Messenger Final?

Hi there.
With Black 2.5, Live Messenger final seems to be included, according the release specs. I posted questions regarding Live Messenger Final over there, but since that thread is flooded with posts, I 'm asking here.
I know the beta version had a problem. It would connect to gprs, also when a wifi connection was available.
Besides this, I wonder if the final version of Live messenger still syncs it's contacts with the phone contacts.
Thanks

Is there someone willing to answer these questions? Thanks

new option

New live messenger got a new option wether to merge windows live contacts with outlook contacts or untick if you dont want to so as not to include your mesenger contact

I do not know if the version present in Black 2.5 is final but i can answer the other questions:
-WM Live on black 2.5 still try to use the GPRS connexion when wifi is available; just cancel the GPRS connexion and it goes automaticely through wifi.
-WM live on black 2.5 still sync MSN contact to phone.

Terrible piece of crappy software then. Disconnecting the GPRS connection doesn't work for me. It keeps trying to connect.
There's also no workaround for the msn contact sync to phone?

Turn what option off?

To get around the GPRS issue, create a new connection called 'fake' and leave that defaulted. That way it'll never connect to the GPRS. But when you are out and about and want GPRS/3G again, just go to connections and drop down to what your usual connection is. This works a treat and saves a lot when the 3G randomly decides to connect when I don't wan it!

Search my Name at http://www.aximsite.com & look for my threads
The thread name is something like "Did Windows Live Die WTF?"
its in there on the 1st page at the bottom... Sorry I don't have time to post the link just yet.
Though currently most of use are stuggling with its Push Email (not the files but the application in general)

If creating the "fake" GPRS connection doesn't do it for you, I use http://www.modaco.com/New-FREE-Utility-t246171.html

download modaco noDATA utility to disable and enable GPRS
no need to make fake connection or something

Guys, thanks for your help. Though I still wonder if there isn't a way to disable Live Messenger from throwing all it's contacts in the phone contacts...

Likewise. This is very annoying.

Yahoo Go! and Windows Mobile 6

Call me crazy, but I decided to install the new Yahoo Go! 2.0 (beta) on my device (just to see if it is as crappy as the old version). The Yahoo website recognized that I was running WM6 ... nice ... I have (for those who care) Sleuth 3.1 installed at the moment.
So, far, it is running nicely. I like getting my yahoo mail on my 8525 without having to sign up for any special yahoo plan. Time will tell whether there are memory leaks.
For those in the United States, you can download from http://us.get.go.yahoo.com on your PDA ... or if you prefer, the cab file I downloaded is below. [there presumably is another link for other countries]
For others who try this out, we can use this thread to compare notes.

I was hoping the holdup was a new messenger... bah.

You know, the "push" side of things doesn't seem to be working for my Yahoo Mail... it says in settings it has it, but it's not pushing anything...

i know shame about the push
just out of interest which do people prefer, live search or yahoo go?
they're both very similar

Live Search doesn't have Maps.. .. that's what I like about Yahoo Go! .. that and it seems to be device specific.

hey same here Push is not wokring !!!!!

I wish there was some way to select and delete multiple emails .. anyone figure that out? Or even just to scroll through emails easily. The mail interface, in general, seems to suck.

same thing i said... no messenger... yahoo sucks ass. i think charging for im is dispicable. once you've got a net plan it should be free. i dont care if they put ads on it. they're so greedy they make deals with the carriers to milk us each message. and that forces you to buy a text plan.
thats why google will always be ahead of yahoo. google understands that you can make just as much, if not more money in ads and give away products free as if you would try to milk customers.
in conclusion: yahoo go with no messenger.... they lost!
on the brighter side, its just beta so maybe the official version will have it.

i love the go gui. yet the live gui is more to the point and simplistic, and that can be to the user's advantage.

Yeah, the Go GUI is totally sweet actually. Very easy to navigate. Now, I gotta convince my buddies at google to make something like this.....<wink>

Wrong. I don't know what you're talking about because Live Search has both Road and Aerial maps...
I've been playing with the new Go 2.0 today... mostly unimpressed. It runs slow and I've had to re install it once already.
The only cool thing I've found about it so far is the direct Flickr uploading ability. That is cool, everything else is sub-par.

Installed the new Go 2.0 beta today with no problems after reading this thread. I'll be playing with it the next few days. So far the GUI looks nice, but runs slow on my Edge connection.

It works pretty nice as an RSS Reader as well. One thing I really liked about the old Yahoo Go, is as soon as you took a picture, it would upload it to your yahoo photos if you wanted it to. Now with the Flikr deal, it doesn't do that... You have to go into the GUI and pick pictures to upload. Now you can manage the pictures better though... I have mixed feelings about that one.

Just had to uninstall yahoo Go because my phone kept freezing up..

Why can't I get Yahoo Go to work? My connection is set to Media net. I can't get Yahoo Go to connect, Google Maps to connect, Live Search to connect. Before I upgraded to WM6 I could get 3rd party apps to run fine.
I tried switching to my isp instead but when I switch to it, I get a message that 'the answering modem has disconnected....'
Can anyone help me?

If you have not put in your operator settings in, it will not connect because the settings are blank.

same here. Conclusion: NOT very impressive

Is a memory sucker too.
Prior to install would have 18-19mb of RAM avail.
After install was down to 12-14mb.
Now after uninstall back to normal.
With most email going through my exchange server and google maps and live-search, I see no need for more bloatware.
Jim

hear hear!

Oh well.
I had been waiting for this software for a while now. I can't believe they didn't include IM!

Free solution to synchronize Google Apps contacts with Windows Mobile?

I have a Google Apps business domain with email contacts. I would love to be able to sync those contacts with Windows Mobile. GooSync or OggSync are overpriced in my opinion, and they want a "subscription" fee! Plaxo supports Gmail contacts but not Google Apps contacts...
Any ideas?

There is a solution ... and it's free!!!
Hey!
Not too sure if you're still chasing an answer to this question because this post is quite old, but if you're still looking... check this site out: http://www.google.com/mobile/winmo/sync.html
It comes from Google, so you know that even though it's in Beta, they will constantly be improving it, and trying to make it as close to fully compatible as possible. Best thing is, it's free!!
It uses the ActiveSync Exchange Server function is achieve syncing.
Hope this helps!!

HELP: Exchange Company Address Book Lookup

Hi all,
I am trying out a Desire this weekend, in general like it. I have got the Exchange sync to work for mail, cal & contacts however if I try to access the Company Directory (GAL) or Search the Inbox I get nothing returned.
I downloaded TouchDown to test and this works fine. But I dont want to use a 3rd Party tool for email (or I could have got a Nexus).
Has anybody else seen this error before, or have any idea's? Other wise its mail if back Monday.
Thank for your help.
Peter

Nobody can help
So HTC say, remove the sync and re-create. Does nothing.
Company IT say there are no more settings to change.
Am I the only person that has seen this, I found one other when searching web, but nobody replied.....
As an alternative would look at a GAL address book viewer?
Any help would be great, newbie with the phone and forum.

The OWA server and Exchange Server is 2007. Did you have issues in the past?

I have the same issue only with Exchange 2003 (we'll be moving to 2007 soon). Was chuffed to finally get my email working today (firewall and all that) and have realised I can't browse the GAL. Might try Touchdown (although I had installed it before - will it let me use it as a Trial again???)...

I and a colleague of mine have the same problem with Exchange 2003 SP2. GAL search works fine on other phones (i.e. the iPhone).
I've seen people report that it works for them though, so I have no clue what's wrong, but I have an open ticket with HTC on the issue.

Well l'm using touchdown at the moment and it appears to work really well. Everything I could want from a client. Need to see if it is worth $20 though before taking the plunge. HTC Mail is a bit limited in comparison. although the OP doesn't want to buy a third party app I would say that is one of the points of Android that if the stock app doesn't work you can get hold of an app that does...

Thanks for the feedback, I also opened a ticket. Seems like very few people have reported this as and issue they either get all or nothing syncing.

I tried Touchdown, the issuethat I have is that the calander is then not combined which I really do like as a feature, and as far as I can see I cant just use it for email and get it to link to the standard apps I have to use it for contacts and Cal as well.

Same for me. I am syncing mails, calendar and contacts without any problems. Only company directory does not work.
I think it is not a connection problem. It is always telling me that nobody could be found. That is even happening when network connections are disabled. So it seems if this tool does not even try to connect.

Thats interesting, I did not try turning off the comm's, so at least it points to a software issue then. More hope HTC might fix it.

I think there may be an issue with contacts lookup via GAL/ Exchange 2003 on HTC STOCK Mail app. nothing shows up.

I had the same problem running Exchange 2003
GAL becomes inaccessible if security profiles are enabled ("Enforce password on device", etc..) and "Allow access to devices that do not fully support password settings" is disabled.
A bad workaround is to enable "Allow access to devices that do not fully support password settings", but that may prevent you from remotely wiping some devices and prevent some devices from initializing security profiles.
A better workaround is to add your account to the exceptions list. Doing that will enable access to GAL but disable the exchange lock screen.
I believe this is happening because either Android 2.1 or HTC mail application either doesn't support Exchange security profiles completely, or doesn't report them correctly.

Hi all, we have a product that might be of interest to you called GALSync Server. Unfortunately I can't post a URL but I'm sure you can find it with a bit of Googling.
It works by sync'ing a copy of the GAL into selected users' Exchange mailboxes which ActiveSync or BES then syncs in turn to the user's device. Works with iPhone or Windows Mobile.
We love it.
But we would wouldn't we.
Thanks for your time!
Slipstream Solutionts

Thanks for the heads up, however its not what I am looking for:
1. You dont support Android from what I can tell.
2. I have to get the company to set it up.
I was hoping to either fix the HTC sync or an app on the handset that can get access.
Thanks

Agree with baronb. HTC needs to fix this issue. Corp IT Administrators will not make exceptions to their security settings. Also, I know from using Touchdown by Nitrodesk that it does, and CAN work.

I talked with HTC hot desk who were not very helpful and seemed to have lost my previous information. They said I should wait for an update!
At this point I am starting to look at alternatives as the lack of GAL for me while on the road was an issue last week.

Is there any more info on this one? I am having this bug too and it is the only thing stopping me from recommending the Desire as a suitable phone for my company to use for all staff right now!

Nothing, yet will bug Hotdesk again this week. The more people to log the error maybe the faster they will fix it.....+44 8458900079
