application to setup hotmail as push mail

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.
thanks

I just set this up and it works Thank u for an explanation
But I have a question. Now only one of my mail accounts deliver mail. Is there an option to set more e-mail accounts to use push mail feature ?
If so how to do it ?

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.

Any Web Service to Sync My Wife's Calendar to My Device?

OK, here's the deal. My wife won't get a smartphone. And she refuses to use Outlook or similar desktop mail/calendar. She has her one Yahoo email address and is happy with it. Period. She keeps dates on a calendar in the kitchen.
I sync OTA with exchange through my office for all work related appointments. I then cable sync at home to add my personal calendar items. Is there an online calendar through Yahoo, Google or similar that is simple for my wife to use and would allow me to sync my wife's calendar to my phone as well?

Google Calendar would probably be your best option to bridge this gap for you
It's crazy simple for her to use (and for you to setup for her), and has quite a few sync options, including windows mobile...info on how that would work on your end are HERE.

Thanks for the Google info and especially the link. It's cool to see how people on xda go the extra mile to help each other. After reading your Google link I think I have realized that the limitation may be with Active Sync. It looks as if under the 'Configure Server' settings in ActiveSync there is only the optioj to configure one push account. Since I am hooked into my exchange server at work I don't see a way to also add the Gmail server settings as well.

That is correct (as far as I know), you can't setup GCal and Outlook to both sync to your phone's calendar separately.
However, what I was thinking of (and didn't do a good job of pointing you to...) is that you can setup GCal to sync to your outlook calendar on the desktop side, then when you sync to your outlook, whatever your wife has added to her calendar will be there as well.
Step-by-step HERE. Basically, you'd sync her google calendar to your desktop outlook at work, which would then update that on the exchange server. Whenever you synced with that, locally or remotely, you should get the stuff from her calendar as well. You can setup the GCal-outlook sync to be one-way only, so she doesn't get all your work stuff added to her own calendar.
Let me know if that would work for you...I don't really know of any other options for a simple calendar for her to be ok with, that will get her appts onto your phone...other than maybe just using opera to view the web version of her calendar..??

You can sync multiple accounts, multiple calendars to each account, etc, each winding up in their own individual category with ActiveGCSync.
It uses Google's API directly, so no activesync etc.. It can sync calendar and contacts, but honestly syncing contacts takes forever. Syncing the calendar could take 1-2 minutes depending upon how much change there is, but IMO not too big a deal for the flexibility.
I demand having each calendar in its own category so it shows in different colors and PhoneAlarm acts differently on it.. Am In in a work meeting? PhoneAlarm lowers all volume. Personal event's show up in a different color, etc..

why doesn't my email sync??? HELP...

i've got my own beautiful desire.
wonderfuk thing, but i've got a problem.
i've got 3 email accounts from hotmail and 1 gmail in my phone.
it all works great, and i like it very much.
except for 1 thing, if a delete a message on the server, my phone still saves it.
i want it so sync and delete the messages that are removed from the server.
i check my mail during the day with my phone, at night i check it on my laptop.
there are often emails in my inbox that are rubish, so i delete them.
usually i do this at night (don't know why, but i just like to do my paperwork at night).
so when i want to check my email during the day, my phone syncs with the account i select but still shows all the email i deleted.
so i have to manually delete them from my phone.
i hate this stupid way they made this.
why in *****'s name would i want to save a message that i deleted from the server?
does anybody have a solution to this problem?
because there aren't a lot of good email clients for android.

+ 1 here; my deleted emails are also shown :-(

What type of email you have setup?
POP3, IMAP?
POP3 will not delete emails (if you delete an email from server, it will stay on the device, and vice versa).
In IMAP, if you delete email from server, it will be deleted from the device too (or vice versa -> device-server, on the next sync)

like is said, it's hotmail so it's pop3.
who came up with the brilliant idea to sync imap and not sync pop3?
again, one of those things i so ****ing hate with software.
why does my windows vista mail program (on the laptop) sync beautifully with my account, but not my android mail program?
is android just to retarded to understand how to sync with pop3?
the day somebody comes up with a program that just works.....
it just pisses me off that nothing with the desire is made to be just right, every little rotten thing needs tweaking to make it work right.

..hm I came from a windows mobile device and I synched the same account; deleting an email in outlook has been also deleted on the device - and vice versa!

It's not about android, Desire, or Windows XP. It's how POP3 works.
Even if you setup the same account on 2 different PCs as POP3, you wont be able to delete emails from one PC to the other.
What I suggest is enabling IMAP on gmail and see how it goes.

If it's a gmail account and it used to work on WM but not on Android, then I would delete and re-add the account. My gmail account works great. I delete or mark as read an email on my PC or webmail, and the same goes to my Desire on the next sync.
If we're talking about personal domain (not gmail, hotmail...), then during setup in the Mail application choose the IMAP protocol.

that still deosn't solve the issue with hotmail on the desire.
hotmail is pop3, doesn't do imap.
but it works great with windows mobile.
on android it works like it's just rubbish.

I don't know about that really, I don't use hotmail.
I use gmail, and personal domain/server.
I hope someone else can help you with your hotmail issue.

so nobody knows anything about this?
they can figure out how to get the bleu led to switch on and off, but nobody can make a tweak so hotmail gets synced properly?

I think it's because in the WinMob email app you can tell it to download emails from the last 3 days and anything older disappears automatically.
The Android email apps don't do this but you can set them to delete emails from the server so if you delete the email on your phone it will delete it from the server but you can't do it the other way round.

has anyone found a solution for this.
Starting to annoy me now as well

[Q] Syncing Problems

Hey guys, I have tried taking care of my problem with sync'ing. I've searched the forums here on XDA, and searched Google. But I want to start using XDAndroid 2.2 regularly and I am having some problems with sync'ing.
I have three e-mail addresses from different domains. Do i need to sync all of these? or do I only need to sync the address that my android account is set up on on my phone? Also, It said I needed to enable Google Sync from my settings. Which I have been searching, and cannot find.. I feel like such a noob and once someone tells me, I'll do a big facepalm.
Please help me.

when I hit settings I only have "Accounts and Import". I guess I'm looking for a "Googly Sync" option.

No, it is not like syncing with winmo, you only have to sync your phone with your google account....it syncs more than email
its the 7th option down under settings
are you using a current build?

I don't think I gave you enough information. I'm wanting to switch over to android. I'm currently using the latest build of the Energy ROM (SenCity style). The only reason I'm not using andriod is that I dont know how to send my contacts from Windows into the Android build.
I've been told that Google Sync does it. I was trying to enable it from my gmail account. Where do I go to get to the settings you were referring to?
Sorry about the confusion. the help is much appreciated! thanks

So if your contacts aren't already sync'd with your GMail account from WinMo, the initial sync will knock them out.
Setup PIM Backup or something similar so you can backup all your contacts. Then setup your GMail account in your Exchange settings for WinMo - so you go to Start -> Settings -> Connections -> Comm Manager -> MS Direct Push - from there you enter your GMail settings. m.google.com for the server, be sure to use ssl. I'm not positive if it does knock out your existing contacts, but if it does after you setup the server, import your contacts back from PIM Backup or whatever you used to backup your contacts, run another sync in ActiveSync (not with your computer, with GMail) - you should now have all your contacts in GMail under "My Contacts" - then you can just sync in Android. Easy.

Yeah I have all of that set up on my phone, It just says sync error.
I thought I would have to enable something in my gmail account on my computer for the sync to go through?

Are you getting the sync error in Android or WinMo? I'm going to assume WinMo.
When you setup the exchange server, ONLY check email & contacts. You can sync the calendar, but I found if you just setup your gmail account without ever visiting your calendar, the sync will fail. Other than that, I don't think there's anything to enable assuming you're using the correct settings... Always make sure to put in the entire email address, w/the @gmail.com @ the end.

I was getting the error in WinMo. Sorry about being so unclear! woops.
Hazzah! I disabled Calendars and Tasks. and now Contacts are currently being sync'd! woo! I wanted Calendars and Tasks to sync because Univ. of South Florida uses Google Apps and I had my calendar on my phone. Everyone who has android phones, just one touch and all of their calendar and schedule is on their phone. I'll just do this then haha.
Anyways, as soon as I log into Android with my gmail account will the contacts be there? Or I need to enable a sync through there? (I've had midterms this week and tonight ill be able to finally sit down and play with this).
Really Appreciate the help guys!
Edit: it is syncing but it is doing so at like one contact per 5 minutes. Maybe I need to go to an empty field to get decent reception with TMO. sigh

Hrm that seems odd to me. All my 100+ contacts sync in about a minute, on my cell radio's connection.
Tasks will never sync (I believe...) but Calendar can sync assuming you have used it on your GMail account. I'm pretty sure they mention this on the Google Sync help page
Easiest way in Android is to just setup the account in "Accounts & Sync".

If you're using an exchange account perhaps. Just sync your contacts with that account, then in android have it sync contacts.
That how I migrated from WinMo to XDANDROID. The only thing I use my gmail account for is the marketplace.

Currently, I have my contacts in my gmail account (i checked)
I booted up Android and went to Settings --> Accounts and Sync. I put in my email and password and then it asked for a username. I tried using just the begining of my email (khoyifish) and then I tried using my whole email ([email protected]) then it says retrieving account information and gets and error message. i enabled the two SSL options, because thats how the exchange works in WInMo. Any suggestions? thanks!
I'm frustrated, but I love android!
Edit: I let the WInMo Exchange run in the background, so I didnt have to worry about it taking a long time haha

May want to remove your actual email as web spiders can crawl these pages...
anyhoo, that's definitely not right. I don't know what would cause it to skip that page either... I don't know if the connection would have anything to do with it.
Also, the exchange server for GMail is m.google.com. But that shouldn't matter on Android, it should let you choose Google... Hmmmmm. Delete (move, rename) your data.img and start fresh. Cuz that's odd.

where is that data.img file? I was also thinking about formatting my SD card (after backing up cab files and pictures.
It wouldnt matter that it is the FROYO build? Should I try the other build?

[Q] HTC Sync doesn't update the phone

Hi, I hope you guys can help me out.
I got a new Desire and have set it up to sync from Outlook through HTC Sync. It do sync my appointments, but it don't update they.
Say if I move a meeting to another day or delete it completly. Even though it says is had done a sync, the meeting is still on the original date, and that is getting a bet anoying.
What can I do to solve this problem?

HTC sync is a dog

Maybe it's a dog, but that don't get me anyway, will it?
At least come with a solution to the problem, another app perhaps?
All it should be able to do, is syncing the calendar, contacts and tasks through a cabel.

Why do you need a cable ? Doesn't it sync all of that to the gmail account the phone's on ?

As I see it there is 3 ways to syncronize both the phone and Outlook.
* Cable
* Bluetooth
* By the normal phonesignal (eg. Exchange Activesync)
Exchange Activesync I don't need on a daily basis, cause I will get all from Outlook then (both appointments, contacts, tasks and mails), and it will use data transfer on my subscription to fast, as I haven't got a lot. Besides I think it uses to much batt.
Bluetooth uses to much battery also, but I can deal with that, if I could just find an app, that is free and can sync. both ways properly.
So now I'll settled with the cable, the upside is that it is getting charged at the same time.
The gmail solution is af no go. It is company policy not to use gmail, when we don't know what they may will do with the data transfered. Cause in my mind, they will log the data.
So I after an app that can sync properly, if not I can get HTC Sync to do it.
Does that clear things up a little?

Are you sure that contacts in outlook 2007 are sync-ing properly with your android phone using HTC Sync?
In my case the phone numbers stored in fields like "Car", "Radio", "Assistant" etc are not going to my android device.
I am using the latest HTC Sync v3.1.55.
Anybody with such issues?

I wouldn't know. Normally I just use the more regually fields like, mobil and direct, so haven't looked at that. But I do have trouble with names on contacts, as some gets there middlename removed, but I haven't found "the smoking gun" to solved this problem, either.
Basically I think HTC is cra..... in it's one food. Is there one thing HTC was known for in the past, was it made very good phones for the business consumer. Now they can't even make a decent syncing tool, for the business market.
HTC wake up and get in the match!!!

Don't use Outlook, use Google's products. Cloud computing FTW!

Take a look at MyPhoneExplorer as an alternative (free) to HTC Sync.

I advise to stop using htc sync.
Had troubles with is as well.
Some appointments had 5 identical entries.
Switched to google calendar instead, took me the sweet time to clear up the calendar though . . . . .

I can't use Google's Cloud products. Company policy, and there is still many issues with legal country policies maybe not being upholded. As long as it is not certain that using the Cloud doesn't do anything not legal, we can't use it.

It is very bad. Just today I found out that one of my contacts wasn't sync'ed properly. Very simple setup first name, sirname and phone numbers, but the first name wasn't sync'ed. But as long I haven't found anything better, I have to live with it, which leads me up to....

Can MyPhoneExplorer sync both appointments, contacts and tasks through USB, and do it way better than HTC Sync?

I guess it can. Just tried it, and think we are getting here, but do have some questions, maybe you guys can answer.
Is there an easy way to clean out my appointments, as I now got 2 of all, since I did a sync with MyPhoneExplorer?
The settings under HTC Sync, which should I set them to now? It is set to HTC Sync, but can I change it to eg. charging and still get to functionallity in MyPhoneExplore?
Should I clean up my contacts, and how do I do this easiest?
I can't seem to sync notes as it is disabled in MyPhoneExplorer. Why is that?
If I want to make an appointment on my phone, I can only chose PC Sync, and that is not getting sync to Outlook through MyPhoneExplorer. How should I make appointments on my phone? Is there an app, that make it possibly to make appointments similar to Outlook (appointment/meeting, private/public...)?
And last, I think, MyPhoneExplorer can't seem to sync tasks. Do you know any good app to do that?

Just solved 3 of the above questions.
[1]Is there an easy way to clean out my appointments, as I now got 2 of all, since I did a sync with MyPhoneExplorer?
I found an remove all button.
[2]The settings under HTC Sync, which should I set them to now? It is set to HTC Sync, but can I change it to eg. charging and still get to functionallity in MyPhoneExplore?
I have changed it to just charge, and it seems to work.
[3]Should I clean up my contacts, and how do I do this easiest?
I also here found a remove all buttton, and then did another sync.
So we are down to these questions

Myphoneexplorer is equally BAD. (Rather I would rate it worse than HTC Sync).
The fields like "car", "Radio", "Pager", "Asistant" are still not Sync-ed.
