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.

Hi there,
My TyTn have Black 2.0 inside and Radio 1.40.30.00
My questions:
Why at push mail configuration I can't write at domain field?
and
I'm using mail2web.com for push mail, so I had used it for a while. Yesterday I tryed to send a mail using Pocket Outlook but the mail keeps at Outbox folder, it doesn't want to send the mail, then I did some test an push mail have not been receiving nothing, only Contacts and Tasks. ActiveSync says that my phone was synced at XX:XX time without notice, BUT... mails are not synced, what can I do AND may this problem be derivated from fact that WM6 don't let me put a domain name in configuration? The domain field is gray and disabled.
Thanks in advance,
Taguapire.

Using mail2web with no problems, domain field isnt an issue, this is in all wm6 builds.
Thanks CUSTEL,
Do you know how to do a General Resync of my account between mail2web.com and my device?.
I mean, Reset data at my device and resync all again , mails, contacts, etc. It for try to retrive all my mails again.
Regards,
Taguapire.
With mail2web you can`t send e-mails with the account, its an only incomming free service. if you want too send with mail2web you need too paid money per month.
I have mail2web too and have no problems with Black 2.0 and mail2web.
What? im using mail2web free acount and i can send frome it whit no problem and i dount pay fore it

taguapire; I suggest just re-inputing all your mail2web settings and see if that helps. Also if you head over to mail2web.com, click on support on the top right, you can go to activesync settings and download a cab to install the settings onto your device, then all you have to do is input your username and password. I'm also using the free mail2web account and have not filled in the domain and everything works flawlessly... except are you aware that their server has been going offline last week? Try to log on at the live.mail2web.com login and see if it works there.

ummm... thats not true, i can send and recieve from my device with the free mail2web acount... i suggest you edit your post so you don't confuse anyone.
95% o Mail2 webs accounts arer back up, u must be the 5%...
I spoke with them after one week of no syncing, and yes, most accounts were fixed, but newer accounts had problems and were being moved manually to new servers etc etc, so u just must be one of the last ones, as I was, but they did eventually fix it.
Goodluck, it works great.
Yes. That's true. The service was unstable in the past few weeks. Looks good now for me.
Very thanks to all for your replyes.
I tryed teh manual reconfiguration and the provided CAB file, but CAB never worked. Then I found the problem. I reinstalled Palm Threaded SMS in my device then it started to mess with outlook, I just did a hard reset, reinstalled all (including Palm SMS) and it is working all fine.
BTW: I can send mails using mail2web service, is not true that it only works in 1 way.
Best regards and thank you very much to all.
Taguapire.
yup, it works fine for me too, not sure what app i have that is conflicting with it though as it seem to make my unit more unstable, will need to test further
Yep mail2web works fine here, i too also experienced issues with it in the last few weeks but it seems to be working fine now.
Hi I've just upgraded to WM6 on an Hermes and have just tried the mail2web free service. However when I send emails it shows up as comming from [email protected] (I have activated email forwarding from my personal email address). Is there anyway to show my personal email address that with the free account? or does one need to have the $5 per month account?
Thanks!
You must have a paid account to show your own address in the From: field.
Anybody know what paid service package in mail2web can change the "reply to" as my personal email address?

Personal Exchange is what you want.
If you go into your account options, you will se where you can upgrade right there.
I tried it, and it worked fine. I actually went back to the free version, because my emails to my co-workers always bounced back since the alias wasn't from the work server (we're on a POP3 mail system).
it's something like $3 or $5 a month.
BTW if you have any problems, just email their support staff. I get great service, and within a few hours, actually.
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 am having a problem with my phone. when I send a pic from my phone to my e-mail, a yahoo account, I will receive it at least 50-75 times into my e-mail account. This is driving me crazy!! Also there are times that I send a pic to my e-mail that it will take 24 hours before it arrives into my e-mail! This phone has been nothing but frustration for me!! I should of stuck with the I-Phone!!
