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?

If you find a way let me know. I have been looking for this option as well.
Another question, when you soft reset do u have to restart the windows live app or does it start by itself?
so ok. I have my new lovely desire. But one problem. I added my new email address to the Mail aip. It works but i can receive email. Instead I just get the message: "This is an old news letter and has expired".
how can i fix this?
Use the following settings
pop 3 address: pop3.live.com
enable SSL
smtp add: smtp.live.com
enable TLS
job done
Bump!
I've run into the same problem. Above posted settings don't work for me, when manually inserting them. Same goes for auto-detected settings after filling in my hotmail address and password.
When I change the app's settings to download the previous X amount of emails instead of past X amount of days, emails do get downloaded. The problem here, however, is that these are the very first emails I received, dating from the year 2000 and marked as "unread". When going through them to mark them as "read" again, new "unread" messages won't get through and the very first emails are kept.
Very strange problem that only affects, as far as I know, a minimal amount of users.
I've tried deleting the account, restarting and even a hard-reset to no avail.
Furthermore, I've contacted microsoft and htc. Microsoft's answer was rubbish, stating I should try the settings they provided in the email, which were the exact same settings I told them I had already used... Still waiting for HTC's response.
PS: Other mail accounts work fine btw.
Anyone experiencing the same problem?
I'm gonna go ahead and try this again. Bump, please help!
Just tried with these settings and it worked for me:
POP server: pop3.live.com (Port 995)
POP SSL required? Yes USE TLS
User name: Your Windows Live ID, for example [email protected]
Password: The password you usually use to sign in to Hotmail or Windows Live
SMTP server: smtp.live.com (Port 25)
Authentication required? Yes (this matches your POP username and password)
TLS/SSL required? Yes USE TLS
Important things to note are in red. Hope that helps
Thanks for the reply, but I already had those settings (everyone assumes I got them wrong ). Anyway, I solved it this afternoon after a lot of trial and error...

I did two things to get it to work. Perhaps one would suffice, but I couldnt be bothered to check which one fixed the problem. Here's what I did:
- Somewhere in the settings you can link your hotmail to your live account. I did that.
- I had a huge amount of emails in my inbox. I moved like half of them to a new folder.
Afterwards, the mail app synced without a problem.
Good luck!

Yeah, i'm using the mail app that comes built in with the phone, defo not the google mail one with the red "M" on it.
Anyone else got any ideas please?
I suggest that a factory reset and setting up again from scratch may help. I know of no reason why HTC Mail should be using your GMail account when it is not set up to do so, so I'm wondering if you entered something in the past and there's still remnants of the setup kicking about.
Regards,
Dave
Do you have a Googlemail account setup on the phone? I'm gonna try with my Sky email account and see what happens...
EDIT: Right, worked fine. Try this...
1. Start new account
2. Select POPs
3. Use manual config
4. Set incoming details correctly (e.g. pop3 server: pop.tools.sky.com, username: [email protected], password, SSL, port 995)
5. Set outgoing correctly (e.g. smtp server: smtp.tools.sky.com, username: [email protected], password, SSL, 465)
6. Set account name/display name
Sent a test email and came from my Sky.com address

So now when i set up my Sky account again it process fine and everything appears to be in order until i try and sent a email.

I have a fair few paid apps on there, is there anyway of installing them again without charge if i was to do a factory reset?
When you go into the market and go to your downloads they should be there again to download...I can't 100% confirm this, though

Yes, this is correct. Paid apps aren't a problem because as long as you set up your phone again with the same google account that you used to purchase your apps, they will always appear as purchased and ready to download again in your Market downloads.
It's a pity you can't do the same with free apps, but if you set up AppBrain (see http://www.appbrain.com/) you can have these remembered too.
Regards,
Dave
Ok thanks for your help guys!
Download 'App Manager' from the market (it's free) and you can backup your apps to SD card and reinstall them when ready - no more downloading (don't think it works for paid apps but not tried)
The problem with most app managers/backup programs is that they usually don't restore market links, so whilst you can quickly and easily reinstall the apps, you don't get notifications about updates from the market.

Dave

Use the Hotmail app instead then, this support push notifications.
I use and would recommend "Touch down for smart phones" it is almost instant push notifications and seems to work very well i have been using it for 18 months now. The other option is to set up your hotmail to forward masks to your gmail account, this also works well.

Thanks for the replies. I will take a look at the other options you suggested although I would prefer to use the default app. I'm not keen on the Hotmail app.
Scotty mate, i had the same problem, the Hotmail app sorts it, and now I prefer it to the stock mail app.

In order to get true push email + IMAP for HOTMAIL use this settings:
Incoming settings:
Enter your email account and password Do no hit next, instead click Manual Setup Chose Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync
In the Domain\Username field: delete everything and enter your email address In the Server field: enter m.hotmail.com Keep the box ticked for 'Use secure connection (SSL)' and keep the box unticked for 'Accept all SSL certificates'
Should do it.

I set-up my push email (hotmail) with the settings mentioned earlier in the thread. I thought it was working because I was receiving my mail. The thing is, I only get my emails when I click 'refresh' in the app. I sent myself an email from the PC and it wasn't pushed to the phone. Not sure were I'm going wrong. In the settings I have 'push mail' selected on peak & off peak. I have the data connection on. Does anyone have any idea what I need to change in the settings?

Thanks for the reply. I managed to sort it out (with help from wnp_79). I downloaded the stock Android app and set up my account. The emails are pushed to the handset now.
Nae bother. So you can download the stock app from the Market? I'm guessing its just called Mail? It would be better to have that working than Mail and Hotmail both trying to sync, for battery life.
No the app is not on the market.
Here is the application.

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.

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.
