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
i m using tmobie mda (usa) with the data plan and with the i can configure my pop3 email account on my phone and make to get the emails automaticaly after certain time
so then why do we need exchange server for
i mean i can be wrong too but if i m wrong can someone tell me the right thing
Thanks
I recommend Mail2Web, the simple setting and most important it is FREE.
Well, I am sure that some people out there might have a similar issue with their device. I have finally been able to setup my e-mail accounts to work properly. I have it turned on to connect to "The Internet" (Wi-Fi on the Dash) every 15 minutes to check for new email. However, when I have the Wi-Fi feature turned off, it won't do it; which is what I want it to do. But when I have it connected to the laptop via USB to charge, it checks for the e-mail. This is pointless as I am already receiving the e-mails on my laptop.
Is there a way that I can have it not use the USB to check for e-mails? I heard in another forum that I can set ActiveSync to "Work" which might resolve the problem. Anyone know how I can do that?
Finally, if that doesn't work, what e-mail applications do you guys recommend? I have my Outlook on my laptop setup so that I receive e-mails from both my account into a single Inbox and I have the option of choosing what account I want to send from. Something like that for the Q/Dash would be very useful.
Oh, and one more thing. Is there a way to have the Q/Dash delete the messages from the server when deleting from the handheld? I would like to be able to filter my messages when receiving them on the handheld so that I don't have to re-read them on my laptop when I get home. If there isn't a setting for it, is there a program that offers this option?
Thanks in advance...
Deleting messages from server
I'm assuming you're using POP and not IMAP to check your messages on your Dash. If so, this is what I do to delete messages on the server:
1. Download messages onto Dash (of course)
2. Delete messages on Dash
3. Empty the Deleted Items folder on Dash
4. Send/Receive messages.
This has the effect of removing the deleted messages from the server. Of course, you must also delete them on the Dash -- so I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for. Another option is to use IMAP...but my email server doesn't support it so I'm using POP.
Hope that helps!

Move to Microsoft Exchange you will get Direct Push to your device and will not have to worry ever about e-mail synchronization issues
How would I move to Microsoft Exchange? Can you be a little more specific?
If your school or office doesn't offer it, this is for personal use -- you'll need a hosted Exchange service. There are a lot out there, google 'hosted exchange', or, take a look at the best, http://4smartphone.net

Anyone know how to change ActiveSync to "Work" instead of "The Internet"?
Change the sync directories.
Can you explain how. I'm really ignorant when it comes to these things.
Don't remember exactly, I found it in the help files, or the manual -- one or the other -- take a look.

If you want a free hosted exchange service that does push email and 1 Gb of storage will suffice, you could also try Mail2Web:
https://services.mail2web.com/signup/mail2weblive/mail2webLive_01.asp
Looks good -- just curious though, I noticed the free version is for use with the @mail2web email address format -- can you pay and use your own domain name. That's how 4smartphone.net works, but I couldn't find info on it at the mail2web site.

- not sure, but not a bad trade-off for free, right ?
Call me part of the ingnorant bunch too, but how can I configure POP on my DASH?
I connect through Wifi all the time. When I got to configure "Email Setup" and put my info in, is says contacting server please wait and nothing happens. It tries for a few minutes and then craps out and say it could not connect? But I can browse the web, can view my mail though my web mail accounts and can view my Yahoo account.
Please some advise on this.
you are part of the ignoran bunch! ;P
Hey guys. For the past couple of months ive been trying to find a solution to this problem and its been driving me absolutely crazy. I have my email @msn.com and its been there for the past 8 years. It would be EXTREMELY inconvenient to change it to somewhere else. Well anyway, i want to be able to check my email from my phone, and be notified when a new message comes in. So i tried to set it up using the Mobile outlook, but apparently msn email isnt compatible with it(which i find to be one of the stupidest things ever). So then i thought to forward all my msn email to a gmail account or something, but msn only allows you to forward email to another msn or hotmail account. So then i found the Windows Mobile Live program, which i gotta say sucks to all hell, but apparently works with msn email so i thought id give it a try. Turns out though that my internet connection (the tmobile proxy hack which only allows me to use port 8080) doesnt work, and theres no way to change the port for Mobile Live. I was hoping someone out there might have a solution or an idea. Thanks in advance.

thats not a program, but a webpage through pocket IE. The problem with that, besides the fact that it sucks, is that it wont automatically download new messages and give alerts. i was hoping for a program based kind of thing. thanks anyway though
I just bought a tp2 from Sprint. After setting up my email accounts and using the phone for a few days, and talking to Sprint support, I discovered that the phone does not support deleting emails from the server even though there is an option on the phone to do just that. If this is true then I will have to delete them from my computer even though I've already reviewed them. Has anyone else had this issue/ found a way around it?
Are you using IMAP or POP3? If you are using POP3, I don't know that there will ever be and answer to that. that is why I switched to IMAP. My sent messages and any changes I make are synched between phone, server, and desktop. The only problem is if you use a lot of folders, I am still trying to figure out a way for it to alert me when a new mail arrives in a folder other than the main folder. . ..
Thanks, I'm afraid it's POP3 for me. Looks like no joy.
Where's your email through? May still be able to switch if you want.
My email comes through Godaddy. Thanks, does that help?
Yup. You may be in luck:
http://help.godaddy.com/article/4714
This gives you instructions on how to access your Go-daddy email via IMAP instead of POP3. How familiar are you with IMAP? If you are not, I"d look into it. There are great benefits. It takes some serious switching over if you use Outlok or TBird on your desktop, as you will need to totally switch over to IMAP. Basically the idea is that the folders reside on the server instead of your computer.
I will warn you that on the TP2 and tilt2 (and pretty much any phone, from what I understand) there is no way to be alerted about emails that arrive to certain folders. In other words if you have serverside rules or even desktop rules that move emails to folders upon arrival, you will be able to see and read them on your phone, but you won't be alerted on their arrival. There are a few programs that are supposed to fix this but I have not found any that work for me (currently running Energy MaxSense Rom with WinMo 6.5, Also tried on the stock HTC TF 3d ROM, no dice. Even tried SPB Shell)
The concensus I have heard is that the reason no one, including M$ have tried to fix this is because there is an overiding belief that setting up rules to automatically deliver mail to folders is risky (what if you didn't catch the email?) and not the best setup from an organizational point of view.
They say you should have all emails go to your inbox and then move them to folders by yourself after you read them, thus sorting them and giving your brain physical evidence of having "dealt" with them (this mostly comes from the Getting Things Done crowd).
I was never sold on that, but I might be switching to this methodology out of necessity, since other wise I have to check all folders constantly.
Please, anyone, correct me if there is a better solution.

Just a note on Thunderbird for the desktop. It is quite possible to have both IMAP and POP for the same account in TB. I do it for my work account. I have the POP account so that I keep my emails locally, and I use the IMAP (Inbox) to delete mail off the server.
Just trying to understand how this works...
For some reason, when I download my email on Outlook which is supposed to be a full download from the servers (therefore, not readable anymore from devices), it doesn't remove those emails from my phone the way it used to in the past. So I have to delete them from my phone as well. What setting do I have wrong here? I can delete from the server on my phone, but it doesn't automatically delete them when I check them on Outlook.
Am I making sense??
Thanks.

Sounds like you need IMAP. POP3 simply downloads and deletes from the server, it doesn't do anything to sync across devices. IMAP syncs, rather than downloads, so it should always appear the same on all devices.
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide
Hmm... I don't think I'm communicating properly. Let me try again.
Here's what I used to be able to do... with POP3
1. Get email while I'm out
2. Check, read email on my phone
3. Get home, check Outlook, emails downloaded
4. Emails automatically removed from phone
Can't seem to do that anymore, and I'm wondering what I may have switched in my settings. Could it have something to do with my POP or SMTP settings?
Thanks

Hmm. I have never known POP to be able to delete files from other devices after you delete them from one place. I don't actually use email on my phone other than the gmail app, so I have never had to use those settings, so unless someone else can give a better answer I would just fiddle with the settings on your phone, outlook, and web server to see if you can find an option to synchronize deletions or something rather.
