EMOZE Push E-mail

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..

Can only receive emails, can't send

I used the proxy settings at the HTC Wiki to setup my Dash with my T-Zones internet. Internet works fine. I'm having a problem with sending mail. I can receive mail fine. When I go to send I get this message:
"The following errors occurred while sending and receiving messages:
the messages cannot be sent . Be certain you have network coverage and that your account information is correct and then try again."
I have a strong signal, get all my emails, can browse the internet.This problem just started happening. WM6 Beta worked fine. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

I'm having a similar problem. I just tried to setup windows live mail, and it only works over wifi. I get that network coverage error every time I try and sync mail over edge.
I didn't use live mail frequently with the beta, but it definitely worked over edge when I did use it....Seems like something is up.

T-Zones service doesn't included email, sounds like they're starting to close up the loophole that allowed you to use it with the T-Zones plan in the past? I think you'll find some other things not working as well, like Messenger?

Incoming v. Outgoing Servers
Your incoming and outgoing servers need to be different. If you can use your home wifi, but not edge to send, that means that you have your isp's info in the settings.
I originally made an IMAP account that could receive anywhere, but could only send when I was using a wifi network for which iIknew the outgoing server (ie. my home wifi). I used the "set up my email" option that tmobile offers, it works pretty well, since it configures the phone to send and receive. I pay for the 5.99 T-Zones plan, and this function works for me. Just make sure you log into your my.tmobile.com account and turn the text message alerts off (they send you, and charge you for, a text message every time you receive a new email).

They're definitely doing something. I can now send and receive from my aol account, but my .mac account keeps asking for my username and password. I can't login.

In the past in the settings of a pop account you can go into email setup and choose "Network Connection: Wap", in wm6 final there is no choice for wap. I think that is what is causing the problems

I noticed this as well, both on my Dash and my Vox. My Vox can use T-Zones to get on the internet with the proxy settings. Email had been working fine since I got it on Friday. The strange thing is is I can send email and receive with my aol accounts fine now (this morning they weren't working, only being able to receive).
My. mac account on my Dash now only is getting incoming mail, I can't send out. Earlier this morning I couldn't even log in or get incoming mail.
T-Mobile is definitely doing something because my aol accounts on both phones send and receive fine, now (hope it lasts)
Gmail is also working now, sending and receiving messages.
Hopefully they are just updating their servers since the official release is coming Friday, at least I hope this is what's going on.

as of 9pm EST even connecting Via WiFi I can't send out mail using my .mac account, only receive.
I get the error "the message cannot be sent. Be ceratin that you have network coveraage and that your account information is correct and then try again."
I can' t understand why I'm getting this using WiFi
Gmail, aol still work fine on both T-Mobile EDGE and WiFi.

Uh-oh... looks like I might be going back to WM5.

Easy fix.
Use the proxy, except for everywhere it says use WAP Network under GPRS and Proxy settings, use Work.
Then make sure your IE uses work and your email uses work.

If you can get your IE working but not your email, here is your fix.
for each email account, go to tools>options>select your account> keep going through your email setup until you get to advance server settings.
click on advance server settings, and under network connection, select the same connection that you use for IE.. (should be anything except The Internet)
select it, then hit done (but you aren't done)
it should take you to the previous screen, then hit next, until you get to finish.
You have to make sure you hit finish to save your settings.

Usually if you can't send from your device you might not have set smpt relay on on your webmail account or enabled pop/smpt in general. I had that with a secure server account that I use for buisness and once I had set the settings to turn smpt relay on I had no problems - except it usually works better if i input the password manually. Gmail I have never had problems with after enabling pop.

How can I set up email on T-mobile Dash

Any one can teach me how to set up to receive email on Dash. I have internet service on my cell phone. My company has pop3 and smtp for us to receive email on cell phone. Should I use the messaging setup or activesync to setup this. Please assist me to set it up and i can receive my company email on the street. Thanks.

What is the difference between messaging and activesync? Which one should I use to set up pop3 and smtp mail? Thanks.

not sure what you mean. Activesync is tethered connection to your computer.
Do you have an data plan from TMobile? Which one? Do you have sms/mms messaging working.
I wish I could be more helpful. I no longer have it configured on mine . I found it to be way to annoying. If I want to check my email I just go to my account at Comcast.net
I would just call TMobile or go to their website

Yes, I have the data plan, I can send sms, browse internet.
I asked becaue I heard that we can use Activesync to serup email account and receive email wireless. Should I use activesync or messaging to setup corporate email account? Thanks.

no internet with WIFI ON, but works with WIFI OFF?

hey guys.
i have a million questions but i'll restrict this post to two for now.
a little back up...i have my evo unlocked and rooted on AVA Froyo V6 on MetroPCS' network. i have their $50 smart phone plan which has push email. this feature worked great on my samsung code from metro.
now on to the issues
first and most annoying - using the stock internet browser, while WIFI is OFF i can browse using MetroPCS data network. it works well and at their speeds. if i turn on wifi, no matter where, both the stock internet browser and skyfire suddenly start giving connection errors. if i turn off wifi they go back to working but on the data network. while these two arent working, market works, pandora, facebook, weather, etc. all apps work on wifi except those two internet browsers. i should also mention opera mobile WORKS. not SKYFIRE and not the default browser - which I happen to like more than the other two!
any ideas why? what can i do to fix this?
second and also annoying - the email app SUCKS. i use Hotmail for everything. i have my gmail account forwarding there, my university account forwarding there, my website accounts forwarding there. everything ends in my hotmail account. with my previous phone (samsung code running windows mobile 6.1) i had push email working wondefully and i got used to that. i know the network has the capacity to do it. i also know it's not a problem with the network and this phone, as the email app will download the emails when it feels like it. but then if i read the email or delete the email on the phone, it doesnt do so in the server even though I have it set to do it. also when I go in and click refresh it will tell me there arent any new emails when I know there are...and then when it feels like it later it downloads the email.
is there a program, whether free or paid, that will let me have proper push email with my hotmail account? i dont need any computer sync, just download my email on the fly, preferably as they arrive.
thanks much in advance!
if i can get those two issues worked out my EVO experience will be completely blissful

for your first question i dont have an answer.
for your second question have you tried k9 mail? It works for me doing something similar. I use yahoo and not hotmail but similar set up with all mails coming to that 1 email and it pushes them as i get them and dont normally have any issues with this. It also removes them jsut fine from yahoo.

i installed K9 and it's doing things well with one major issue...which i've now come to realize is the same issue affecting the stock mail app.
the phone can't connect to HOTMAIL's outgoing server. so it downloads the emails as they arrive and i can open them and what not. but if i read them, or delete them, it doesn't update them in the server. it also wont let me send an email out, saying the SMTP settings are wrong, even though it's setting them automatically. so all of these issues are because the phone is not connecting to the outgoing server!
what now?

anyone have any idea on the internet with wifi issue?

[Q] Galaxy Nexus data plans

I am looking at the data plans from Verizon with the double data and I want the 4GB plan for $30. The plan says Personal Email only. Does that mean it won't let me use my company's ActiveSync email? Or does that mean they give you an email address for personal use only? I don't need any of their email I just want my corporate email and my Gmail.

You're free to use any email you want that Android or its apps support including exchange.

My company uses VPN and it syncs perfectly. My GN gets the email before my BB does. By the way you can get unlimited data thru Verizon. Look it up online. Something about calling in for unlimited hot spot then goin to their website cancel it and the unlimited sticks.
SIDE NOTE: If your company uses VPN you will have to talk to your company's IT guy to get it set up. There is codes you will need.
