Exchange SP2 Push Mail Providers

Hi all,
Just upgrading to new Imate ROM. Now it seems that Universal has push email can anyone recommend an Exchange SP2 direct push email provider for consumer market? Many thanks for taking the time to read.
Tom C (UK) :lol:

The onlyone I know for the moment is 4smartphone.net - if you find any better (means cheaper), let me know!

Some report are saying 4smartphone.net takes 30 seconds to push an email to your device, rather than 5 seconds or less that others are getting via their own exchange servers.
Its worth asking these website exchange account providers what frequency they run the push 'heartbeat' at - you might end up with a big bill if they haven't set the Exchange/firewall to a reasonable rate.

Device SMS Address
I've just signed up for the 4smartphone trial, but Orange are completely unable to tell me what the Device SMS Address should be. They don't have a clue what this is about. I was guessing [email protected], but that doesn't work.
Does anyone know what it should be?

If you're using the aku2 rom then you don't need an sms address. The MSFP/Direct Push works via http not sms. Waaaaaay better!

Settings
I think it is that version. I'm using the new ROM version 1.30.68 with Radio version 1.09.00. I can see the push mail icon in Comm Manager, but it's greyed out, so I'm not sure where to go from here. The 4smartphone support pages are not exactly informative.
Can anyone point me to a website about setting this up? My searches are not getting me far.
Thanks.

Got it working
Just need to ignore the instructions on the 4smartphone web page about SMS Device.
From the moment of clicking send on my Desktop to the email arriving in my device inbox the time taken is about 25 secs, which includes gmail forwarding it to the 4smartphone address.

4smartPhone Help!!
Glad to hear that you got the SMS problem sorted which help me out too. I can now sync with contacts but what do I do for the email. Do I have to set an account up on WM5 which I have done but there is no push coming through I have to manually send and receive. Any help much welcome. Thanks

You need to set it up using active sync in WM5. You will need to add a server (secure.4smartphone.net) then your username, password and domain (4smartphone). It will then sync using the GPRS connection.
I've got Outlook desktop, Outlook Web Access (with smartphone) and Outlook on WM5 all synchronizing nicely. My only problem is that I have three pop email account on Outlook desktop, but 4smartphone only seems to work with one.

And just to add the obvious, you need to have email being forward to the address that you got @smartphone.com

4Smartphone.net are US based, where email to SMS is very common. It took the Americans about three years to wake up to the fact that everyone else in the world has to pay for SMS messages to be sent - hence the new push technology from Microsoft.
What they are referring to is a feature known as AUTD (always up to date) which is how Exchange used to do push. A specially created SMS text message would be sent to your phone which told your device that something had changed, and it would then do a sync.
I am told that it worked very well - it is just unfortunate that for everyone outside of the USA the feature would cost many thousands to run for each single user.

4smartPhone Help!!
Thanks for your quick reply. I have forwarding set up and all the correct settings for Active Syn in WM5, UserName, Password, Domain and Save password. Under the Options in ActiveSync there now appears and Exchange Server with the following selected Contacts, Calendar, E-Mail, Tasks.
I'm still not sure though what to do with the email all the above are syncing via 3g. In the Messages section do I have to create a new account and if so what are the correct setting for this?
Thanks again for the help and suggestions.
Tom C.

When it syncs with the Exchange server it automatically goes into the Outlook email inbox on your device. If you've previously been synchronizing with the desktop it wipes out those emails, which is why I'm trying the Pro version of 4smartphone and synchronising all three.
Have you checked if test emails you are sending are reaching the 4smartphone email address? You can do that by logging into the web version of Outlook via the link on their website.
Also the push email icon in Com Manager should now be working and it will say Microsoft DirectPush at the top.
That may not be much help, but I am also completely new to this.

4smartPhone
Once again thanks for the help. Just about got it sorted as I read your reply. The missing link for me is that the you don't have to sent up a seperate email account I was looking for server addresses extra but all those go under ActiveSync. Getting mails fine now but not too sure yet about sending them. Are yours sending fine or is there a delay?
Thanks again, you are still once step ahead of me

I've got Push email working with mail2web.com and have a few questions:
I've gota couple of email addresses that won't forward to my mail2web email account and I don't really want to use mail2web's harvester as that only checks once every hour, so I was wondering whether it's possible to set Outlook on my PC to synce with my mail2web account so that my PC will download emails from my POP accounts, then upload them to my mail2web server, which then pushes the emails to my phone?
Or is there a simpler way to do it?
Also, when I reply to an email that's been pushed the reply address is always my mail2web email address, which is a pain as it confuses people and gets rejected by my email groups. How can I change the default address that my replies go from, or even just change them on each email as I reply?
I'm sure I'll have more questions soon.! Cheers.

Touch Pro 2 and gmail

I have had my TP2 for a few days now and i love it, except for the fact that I cannot send or receive email from my gmail account
I can access the internet fine, and use the youtube app fine, but whenever i try to send an email or hit send/receive i get this error message
"CANNOT CONNECT WITH CURRENT CONNECTIONS SETTINGS. TO CHANGE YOUR SETTINGS, TAP SETTINGS"
When i set up the email the only things i was required to supply were my email address and password....so i am assuming the problem lies with the way my handset is trying to access the gmail account, ie. trying to use wifi or something? (i dont have wifi, so i will only be using the "unlimited" interent provided with my t-mobile UK tariff)
has anyone else had this problem or do they know how to get around it as i have finally got myself a decent handset where i can (allegedly!) check my email on the move, but yet i somehow cant get it working?!!
Ihave tried both hard and soft resets to get this sorted but it just wont work and i feel like pulling my hair out!
n

I know it's not much consolation but it just worked for me...
I have a SIM free TP2 and UK T-Mobile Web'n'Walk.
Incoming mail server is imap.gmail.com
Account type is IMAP4
Username is my full gmail username
Outgoing mail server is smtp.gmail.com
outgoing server requires authentication is ticked
All this was set via automatic configuration.
Hope this helps,
Richard

This is what i have done to recieve and send Gmail trueout the standard email client on my Pro II.
First of all you have to enable imap at your gmail account which you can find under settings.
Then on your phone do the following settings.
- make an new account in your email client
- fill in your gmail adress
- fill in your name
- fill at incomming mail "imap.gmail" and account type "imap"
- fill in your account name (gmail adress) and password
- fill at outgoing mail server smtp.gmail.com
and those two checkboxes must be checked
- auto recieve and send is up to you
hope this will help you

ther's a known bug in windows mobile poutlook...
sometimes the autoconf for gmail doesn't work...(i had the same issue on my omnia)
you only need to enter the account details by hand..
to do that, in the first screen where your address is asked, enter [email protected]
leave it without the final m.
after that fill in manually all the account details, then when finished edit the account and put that m in the domain...
that should work...at least in my omnia was the only way to get gmail working...

I used this guide en it works perfectly

hi, thanks or all the replies, most appreciated.
however, i have now established that i can get my gmail account working - but only over wifi!?!? when the wireless router is turned off i get the same message as before, so there must be a setting or something that is telling my TP2 to look for a wireless connection when performing a send/receive, rather than using the "internet" (if thats the right term) that is included in my contract..AAAARGH...
i have had a look but cannot find any settings for this so i must be going mad?
can anyone shed any light on this for me before i go mad??!!

Disable proxyserver, don't have the place where you can find this. I have a dutch rom

I have a gmail imap connection on my HTC Touch that was working great but has failed to connect for the past two hours or so.

I found that to change from Download 30 Days to 7 days and it worked fine.
Oddly I returned my TP2, and switched back to my VarioV, same problem (had worked fine until then). New TP2 is now here, so will start with 7 days and try expanding to 30 days later.

does anyone know how to do this? i cannot find this option anywhere?

is there any way i can see how my tp2 is trying to receive data from my gmail account, ie. if it is trying to use internet or wifi?!?
also, does anyone have any details for the settings that their tp2 (on t-mobile UK) is using when trying to retrieve email (not by wifi)??!
i'm also assuming that t-mobile wont be able to help me as i got my phone/contract via a third party and t-mobile themselves dont seem to stock the phone themselves....

I had this problem, it drove me nuts until I worked out what it was, if i was already connected it would work but it would not establish its own new connection.
To fix it go into the email settings for the account, then select:
Edit Account Setup
Next
Next
Next
Next (Outgoing (SMTP) mail server screen)
Click the “Advanced Server Settings” Link
In the “Network connections” it defaults to “The Internet” but if you have gone through the “Connection Setup Wizard” when you first installed your SIM it renames the connection, in my case to “T-Mobile Internet”.
Change “Network Connections” to the correct one i.e. “T-Mobile Internet”
hey presto, you can now get your emails
hope this helps everyone

if the connection has a proxy in the setup, than you can use that connection only if selected like above...
if you leave "The internet" the proxy settings are ignored...you have to select the exact connection..but this will prevent the gmail to connect with wifi

optonline webmail

i set up optonline webmail. i receive email but wont work on sent. how i can fix this? thanks.

check your SMTP settings
in the WM Messaging app go to Menus>Tools>Options & choose your email account & change the SMTP settings to whatever your mail service uses

You mean you set up optonline account to Poutlook?
you don't mention your carrier but you need to get your POP & SMTP server settings from them. And don't let WinMo set up the account automatically. When you created the account WinMo sets it up using Optimum's servers, but you're actually running through your carrier's servers. Optimum works perfectly through WinMo.

Why use the webmail? Add it to your outlook and use the alternate port because they dont allow relaying...

Mobile Outlook/ free Yahoo! Mail Account configuration

My first post but not new to this site or wonderful community..
Here's my dilemma (I performed a search but couldn't find the answer I was looking for)
On my TP2, I'm trying to configure Outlook email (push service) using my free Yahoo email account, circumventing the process of signing up for a Premium paid service with Yahoo.
The standard email service on WM just does not cut it for me; I need to receive real-time push notifications.
I hear that this can be done with specific settings. I was able to accomplish that using my free gmail account on my old Iphone. Blackberries can be configured with no problems as well.
Any ideas, tips, tricks and direction to the right place?

Sign up for the Seven beta. It'll give you push email service for Yahoo basic. Works most of the time, but since it's beta, the service can go down once in a while. So not a great option if it's mission critical.

Windows Mobile supports push-email natively only if you use Microsoft Exchange or Windows Live (i.e. Hotmail). So, if you don't want to use any 3rd party software, you can do the following:
1. Set up your Windows Live email and set to sync as items arrive.
2. Set your Yahoo account to forward all emails automatically to your Windows Live account.
Downside is, it's tedious to reply to emails with your Yahoo account. You'll see the email in your Windows Live account. Then you have to pull the email from your Yahoo account and reply to it there.
Alternatively, you can pay for an Exchange service that allows you to change the "From" field.

Thanks for responding all:
@ vudo: Can you elaborate on this beta Seven service that you speak of?
@ ohyeahar: What domain and server address do I use when setting up my Live account?

Try these settings
Hotmail (when setting it up, intentionally misspell it so it doesnt redirect you to Windows live..)
-so.. put in [email protected]
Then manually enter these settings
POP = pop3.live.com
SMTP = smtp.live.com
GMAIL
POP = pop.gmail.com
SMTP = smtp.gmail.com
Yahoo
IMAP = imap.mail.yahoo.com
SMTP = smtp.mobile.mail.yahoo.com

If you do it myknyte's way, you will not get push email for your Windows Live account.
You need to set it up via the Windows Live app. Just launch the app. It's very self-explanatory. If you don't have the app (for whatever reason), it's available on the Marketplace.

Go to www dot seven dot com and sign up for their bera program. You then set up your email accounts thru their service and it will push the emails to you. Another benefit is that your email accounts are saved, so if you flash a new rom, you dont have to type in the settings again. Note though that once you have it installed, any new email account gets added through the Seven service.

[Q] Can not Get Email from Exchange Server

I am having problem to see anything in the inbox from my company's exchange server. I have the same setup with my HeroC without any issue. Does anyone have this kind of problem. I am able to sent email from the account.
Thanks

More account info required. I have one real exchange account and 4 google accounts syncing through exchange on the email app without issue. So it's not a fundamental issue with the app.
I will say that setting up exchange between droids, HTC and samsungs can be a pain because they all want the setup info entered differently. I wish the gmail app would handle exchange accounts, it would be so nice to have one process work on all Android phones.
You are doing the manual setup. Sometimes outsourced exchange services can b funky to setup. I had one that weird.
Example:
Email was [email protected]
Sever address was west.ex145.server.net
Domain was ex145
Username was ex145\goober_newdomainname
If you do not use manual config the app assumes the server is bigco.com. I have also seen issues if you have the accept all ssl certificates checked. You would think you would want it checked in something like the example above because all the redirects an domains but checking that created issues.

Thanks for the response; I am using manual setup with the following info (using a generic name as example)
Email was [email protected]
Sever address was exchange.company.com
Domain was company
Username was company\username
There is no problem for the account setup, and I can see the inbox and the sub folders under it; however, all are empty. I can also send email from the email apps. I tried manual refresh, push, it all shows 0 mail. From the Exchange web access, I can see the mobile device sync status; but the last sync time was not updating.
Any suggestion on what else I should try.
Thanks.

delete the account on the phone, and recreate it using the correct settings, after you click save or something after configuring it, it should bring you to your email app inbox with no messages. now wait, after a few minutes it should alert you about needing additional security rights or something. it will either pop up and tell you about it, accept it, or it might just pop up a notification so you'll have to expand your notification bar menu then click the notification to accept it. your miles my vary, but that is what worked for me.
ELSE, this is the full processes I had to do (I'm the exchange admin at my work)
Open Active Directory Users and Computers, enable Advanced Features (View > Advanced Features). Go to the properties of the user you are trying to enable, go to the security tab, click Advanced, Then select Exchange Server (******\Exchange Servers) and click the checkbox for Include inheritable permission from this object’s parent.
Clear the cache for the email program on the Android phone (Settings > Applications > Manage applications > All > Email > Clear data) THIS WILL DELETE ALL E-MAIL ACCOUNTS AND EMAIL ON THE PHONE!!!!!!!!
Add the account as you usually would, it will, do a refresh and it will show no e-mails. In a few seconds you should get an alert that the program needs extra permissions, select that notification and accept it.
Also for anyone who is getting some kind of certificate error or something (i forget the exact error) after flashing a new rom, before flashing the rom wipe everything.

Thanks for all the suggestions; I was not able to get our Exchange Admin to change anything on the server side. I end up of getting "Exchange for Android" apps, and it works without any issue. I am not sure what was the issue on the stock email client. I just like to update this in case anyone else run into the same problem, at least there is a alternative (it is free with 30 day trial, kind of expensive but it works).

Depending on what version of exchange and the policies you may have received a notice to allow the exchange server to enforce policies on your phone. I missed it last time - have to swipe down and look at your notices.

I see one flaw in your setup right there. You're listing your domain twice. You're listing it in the domain field, and then apparently listing it again in the username field. That can cause some confusion, as it will essentially report to the server to authenticate "domain\username" against the domain you listed. Normally it's one or the other. The \ implies that anything before it is the domain.

Step by step instructions
Hello,
I posted some step by step instructions for setting up MS Exchange on your Android phone you may find helpful.
http://www.completesystemsdesign.co...d-tablet-to-ms-exchange-for-email-sync-2.html

It all depends on your work exchange. for me it was mail.[domain].com but I had to go to touchdown anyways since the stock email app wouldn't let me respond to signed messages.

Has anyone seen a fix for this. I had mine setup correctly and it was displaying incoming emails, but it was not syncing contacts back and forth so i deleted the account and set it back up. Now, i can see all email boxes, send emails, view sent emails, update calendar appts, and contacts. The only issue i am having is seeing emails in my inbox, so i know it is connecting. It just wont sync the inbox for some reason. I got the update to 2.3.6 on the GS2.
