I've added the account but email only downloads when i click on send and receive,
the enable microsoft direct push is on but it doesnt seem to have any effect.
any ideas?
gmail won't push to these devices using that method.
you gotta try seven.com or other alternatives...a search will turn up a lot more information, but seven is a push alternative that works
Got it working in the end.
Solution was fairly easy after all.
Thanks
how did you get it working? as far as i knew gmail doesn't offer a push service..?
Bit of lateral thinking in the end
I found out that Windows Mobile 6 supports Hotmail push email for free without any added software. It's built in to the operating system.
I simply set my Gmail account to auto forward all email to my hotmail account. It's an option within the settings.
Voila free gmail and hotmail pushed to my phone without any 3rd party software.
Well done.
I use SEVEN and it's a wonderful piece of software, best of all it's FREE and uses the in-built mail application on your phone. So it runs in the background and then the windows mail does the rest.

presently i'm also using seven to push my mail since mail2web started charging for its push services.i have only one problem with seven.i don't get any alert when i have new mail?do u? my notification for new email is one but nothing happens.hummm...
my only issue (and its only a minor one) with seven is that the message text preview normally shown on the mail envelope icon is no longer there - all it says is 'click to view message'.
Is there any fix for this?

i wished i found this thread earlier, so i didnt have to create one!
but i thought about doing what binning did, but its not a real solution, you can reply but your going to be replying with your hotmail account rather than your gmail account but you get all the messages
google did release sync, but right now its only calendar and contacts from what i know of, as of an actual email sync, i heard rumors theyre working on it, but lets hope they release it soon.
but another thought is, the only thing thats missing right now is the gmail push server. blackberry bypassed this by using their own BES but only restricted to BBs obviously.
lets keep our fingers crossed and hope that google will release a gmail sync!!!! =]
edit:
im also curious but havent had time to look into it, a couple of friends of mine have the g1, the g1 supports gmail push, but how can we wm users get this to work on OWA!! if g1 supports gmail push shouldnt it be possible for us? i mean like a standalone push service rather than having to forward or use a separate server like the BES?
is seven.com free? When I try to download it, it takes me to my country operator. The link then takes me to my country's website which charges me 15$ per month to use it? I already have a 5GB data plan, why am I going to be charged 15$ to use seven.com?

Look for the Beta program instead. That's where you'll find the free software download.
Thanks furrypotato(good nick). I figured it out.
Is it reliable? I noticed that sometimes ill get the email directly (testing by sending email from another account via PC). and sometimes I wont.
Also, the internet remains connected right?

how does one enable push hotmail? I created a live.com account but I can't find anything in the settings for push mail.

Goto Windows live and click Options-> Sync Schedule and change 'Sync Frequnecy' to 'As items arrive'. DONE! You have push hotmail now.

Another question, when you soft reset do u have to restart the windows live app or does it start by itself?
Hello all
I'm wondering if there is any way to be able to view the contents of yahoo email folders in outlook. as far as i can tell the only thing i can see is my general inbox.
So far the only solution i have found is to use yahoo Go! but this does not display the conents of my email on my home screen. in addition i have to load the program ever time i want to check my work folder, as well as manually connect. its very cumbersome and the software is bloated with graphics and crap i just dont want to see or use.
In reality, the only thing i want to see is the contents of my folder labeled "work" the rest of my email i will gladly deal with when i am at a computer. idealy, i would like outlook, or a whatever program it is to display the contents of just my "work" folder on my homescreen. if anyone can point me in the right direction here it would be greatly appreciated.
oh also ive heard that google is much better for mobile email. my yahoo account is 15 years old, so i cant give it up, but im considering trying to rig things up so that all of my work email forwards to a gmail account so that i cant then get it displayed on my homescreen.
thanks again guys
ok, this may or may not help. are you using pop3 to connect to yahoo? if so, i think that's your problem. try connection with imap. you should be able to find the connection info on the yahoo site. you may have to do some funny business to make it not automaticly pick up the pop3 settings. i had to for my gmail account. they may actually have a winmobile 6+ tutorial (gmail did). but i know that imap supports folders.
Hey ,
Yahoo gives u pop and imap only if u have a paid account ,, not to free accounts
wow, how restricting. i'm glad i dropped them 5yrs ago for gmail.
thanks for the help. yahoo are real bastards. still trying to ride along on a restrictive model that was good enough back in 1995, but is a joke with the likes of competitors like gmail in this day and age. i too wish i could just dump the damn yahoo account, but ive had this email address for about 15 years, and i also use the thing for work, so it really wont cut it. can anyone tell me if some sort of forwarding to gmail of just my work contacts' email could resolve my problem? if so, is there any special trick i need to be doing?

Sorry, but forwarding is like POP/IMAP in Yahoo. Only available on the paid "Yahoo Mail Plus" accounts. I've switched 95% over to gmail, but check the Yahoo free account once a week.

I think there is a difference between .com & .co.uk or it's that my account is donkey years old as have forwarding on free accounts
Well, gmail or Yahoo, or whatever other, there is no way to keep the email folders and related messages in the Android phone memory and use them offline like in the PC Outlook! That's really missing as one can't consult messages if out of wireless connection range!!!
That's the application Android is missing!
i successfully set up my hotmail in my X1, set the sync frequency to As Items Arrive, intending to activate push mail.
but now everytime i have new mail, i am not notified at all, not even showing of the numbers of new mails in the Today Screen.
i still need to manually go Menu > Send/Receive to update my mailbox.
any1 got solution or what application i need install?
thanks
yes: GMAIL lol
This would be a workaround, but it would work.
1. Create a Gmail account.
2. Forward your Hotmail to Gmail.
3. Set up your Gmail so that you can reply using your Hotmail account. (yeah you can do that...nifty eh?)
4. Go to your Outlook on your phone and set up "gmail-sync" as your push mail account to retrieve from. It's in beta right now but is working 100% perfectly on my Kaiser. (I'm in here because I'm getting a SEX1 in a couple days ) I frickin' LOVE IT - it pushes IMMEDIATELY as soon as the mail comes in. Instructions here:
http://www.google.com/mobile/products/sync.html#p=winmo
5. Now all your e-mails will be stored to your phone permanently too, instead of the inbox getting wiped every time you send receive, or whenever you have your timing set up for that.
6. Forget about Hotmail and start using Gmail lol. Just kidding...but if you set it up that way, you can still use your Hotmail completely, Gmail will be practically invisible to you. (Or is it the other way around? lol)
Seriously, Google's free push e-mail service is amaaazing. I am LOVING it.
ohhh pls tell me how to fwd mails
in aol /hotmail pls
Syncing frequency to As Items Arrive works perfectly for me.
I confirm that both hotmail and gmail works as a push mail on my XPERIA.
For hotmail, you can just use windows live connection setup and choose/set "as items arrive" and set the time as "always". For gmail, you can use the activesync feature on outlook mobile as have been told by deezy7 above.
Or else, you can use the feature from Emoze service.
hi all.
thanks for ur advices.
i did add my hotmail using the Windows Live program, did set to "as items arrive" and did set for "always"
but nothing ever appear in my pjone for new mail unless i do it manually using "send/receive"
i prefer to use my hotmail acc ley.
any1 pls help mi.

If you would like to have a free account for push mail service you should try Emoze. I have been playing with Emoze and honestly it helps me much to get my XPERIA have numerous mail account which works as a push mail ....
Ok, I did some workaround, created another gmail account and forwarded all my accounts to that one, and I receiving only that one.
Maybe not the best solution , but I prefer not to use online services like mobipush and such where u leave them your user name and password for each account u have...
As an alternative to Emoze i use Seven Beta. It provides near realtime push on most types of account.

Hey icbicb, in response to your other question as well, my suggestion would have been to do what you already did, which is create another gmail acccount I also prefer not to use any other online services, and was very happy when Google came out with Gmail Sync, since I've already been using my gmail account for five years, and don't have to give out sensitive information to yet another company
To those here using other services, I'd suggest you give Gmail Sync a try. Deedee, I noticed you said that Seven Beta provides you with near realtime push. I've noticed with Gmail Sync, and having my Gmail open at the same time on my pc at work, that Gmail Sync pushes in actual realtime! I'll hear the notification on my phone first before my page refreshes to show me my new e-mail! Also, I should mention that I am using gmail plug-ins to autoupdate the screen when new e-mails come in, and the Gmail sync sends them to my phone simultaneously or even before my page refreshes, thus, I know that it is actual real-time. Just like blackberry's service! I'm in love with it right now
icbicb, I'm glad it's working out for you , loyjwe I hope you are able to give this a try...
it's a good solution, but if i transfert the mail from hotmail to gmail they will be of the hotmail box...
And it's a probleme for me...
do you have a solution for that
(excus me for my bad english)
Big advantage of Seven Beta is that it works for almost all POP3/IMAP email systems and it keeps all the accounts separate so that replies from your PPC keep the correct return address.
I have it working on Gmail x 2, Hotmail and a POP3 account and all four accounts are independant of each other.
I said near real time sync as i didn't want to claim real time in case it wasn't. I rarely use the web interface since starting Seven so haven't been in a position to check. As i tell the BB users at work if you have time to compare the two delivery times then maybe you don't need a BB.

Hi titeloo...bad english is okay lol, but, I don't really understand what you mean by "they will be of the hotmail box..." need further explanation!!
@Deedee, gmail does that also....so... for example, when you get mail forwarded to your gmail account, if it was originally sent to your hotmail account, when you reply on the phone, it will reply from the hotmail account. Gmail's set up pretty good that way. I believe right now though they have a limit on the number of accounts you can send mail from, not sure if it is 3 or 4. So it's pretty neat that Seven Beta keeps all accounts separate ...btw very nice avatar
Seven is only restricted by the number of accounts that can be set up in WM, think it's 8 in total, that includes your ActiveSync/Exchange and SMS accounts.
Thanks for the compliment. Always prefer to use real piccies for avatars where practical.
On my Incredible, I started a gmail account and now I receive gmail on my phone.
Now I want to use gmail on my desktop PC but I don't remember how I started it on my phone i.e. I can't remember my username, password or the email address I used to start gmail.
How how can I recall these facts to add my gmail account to my desktop?
Thanks

Just go to settings>accounts & sync, you'll be able to see your username under gmail, then you can just go to the gmail site and recover your password.

Thank you for the reply. I did what you said and the user name was my gmail address, and they asked for things I couldn't supply, like, who I sent gmail to, when did I open the account, etc.
Apparently I don't really have an account - just an email address. Does that make sense?

If your phone is receiving email you have a GMail account. If you don't recall what information you put in when you originally started the account there's probably not much more that can be done.

I have always had a lot of respect for this forum, but it is open to everybody and everything.
I started up my Gmail and got rebuffed when I tried to buy an apk and it required me to check-out at the Google store. I was told I didn't have a Google account so I wasn't able to buy the apk, but I am still able to send and receive Gmail. Now I want to be able to receive Gmail on my desktop, but I don't have the information to be able to complete that so that's why I asked for help.

You can send and recieve mail because you have a gmail account. You can't buy anything at the store because you don't have a matching account in Google Checkout which you would have had to set up separately.
Based on the information you're providing - which I'll agree with the others comes off as either sketchy or aternatively completely computer clueless that's my best guess.
I rooted a guy that I work with phone and he didn't know his gmail password. He didn't use gmail, just set up the account to use the market and backup contacts.....bit he also was able to figure out when he opened the account because it was the same day he bought the phone.

Thanks for the comments.
I just got off Google's site and I went through the steps to recover my username and recover my password and even though the recovery site accepts my username and my gmail address, it sends me a message that it's database has no reference to a password for either one.
I tried a site that was supposed to be the tech site to help me and after I asked my question, they asked me how much would I be willing to pay for the answer and suggested 37 dollars.
Well, I guess you know, I went no further.
My problem is, why does google recognize my gmail address, but has no reference to a password I would have to have to start the gmail account? ? ?
I know it's my fault I don't remember what I did to create the account, but why is there no record???
Google can't, or won't let me back in without some things I don't recall, but they seem to have no mechanism to let me correct my situation without just cancelling the account and creating a new one.
Thanks again for the dialog.

Can't live a day without email, and since yesterday I can't create any email account with the Samsung stock email app through Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync. It keeps saying "Setup couldn't finish: Unable to connect to server". I have tried YMail, GMail, none works! I guess I am not the only one and it's a MS server problem?

Ok, what specific email service are you trying to setup (GMail, YMail, etc.).
What is the name of the server that you are trying to connect to? For example, the ActiveSync server for GMail is m.google.com.
Lets start with that and see where we go from there.

GMail. That's how it worked since the day I got the phone, but now it isn't working. It's obviously a different Note 2 (the old one was having a problem, so service center provided me a new one), but that shouldn't be any reason.
I just type my username, then password, select Manual setup, tap on MS Exchange ActiveSync, then I tap on next and that error pops up! The server address is m.google.com like you said. But I've tried with different address like m.gmail.com, no luck!
Now I had a Nandroid backup from my old Note 2, which I was restoring some minutes back with Nandroid Manager, and when I restored the email and Exchange service the old email data is back, as Exchange ActiveSync.
This is the most weird thing I've seen since a long time!

Tried that mate. No better.
Now could any one of you test it for me? I'm strongly recommending to NOT delete the account you're already having with ActiveSync, just try with another account and see, please? I've GMail and YMail accounts, so can't say about any other account.
Thanks in advance.

Yep read at least 6-7 articles about it. What a stupidity by Google! http://www.theverge.com/2012/12/14/...-sync-exchange-support-for-gmail-calendar-and
Anyway, that was it for me, created a Hotmail account and a Live account as well (love the name, Live, lol) and Exchange ActiveSync created the account easy.
Now I guess there is no way I can have all my messages transferred to the Hotmail account from the Gmail account right, and have the new emails in Hotmail instead of Gmail? I have to manually edit the email id everywhere from Gmail to Hotmail or is there any trick?
Yes, This is good way and I am also doing same since long. I have yahoo account and forwarding Gmail to yahoo always.
I don't think you need to change ID everywhere, just use both ID atleast for now, may be there will be some solution for Gmail comes.
