I'm using the Leedroid HD Rom and have setup Push email for my MSN/Hotmail account in the default email app, however I don't receive the emails unless I have the app open on the screen. It doesn't seem to run in the background as Gmail does. Has anyone successfully got Hotmail/MSN working with push email?
I have tried to setup Push within K9 but it fails to accept the settings, I'm wondering if the default port shown in K9 is wrong?
Any advice appreciated.
I have the exact same problem with gmail.
I have setup gmail as an exchange account in order to have push mail functionality but it does not work

I have looked on this site - and there seems to be some varied answers to this:
Which is better for battery life:
I prefer the look and feel of the HTC Mail app, but would prefer to get email as PUSH rather than setting an hourly sync.
Which is better on the battery? Gmail App or the HTC Mail via Exchange? or are they both the same?
I don't get very many emails a day - usually about 4 or 5 so having them arrive via PUSH seemed a better option? or again is this going to use more battery than just having the phone sync every hour?
Also - rather interesting - Why do the same emails appear differently when viewed in the HTC Mail App to the Gmail App. Some emails appear properly in the Gmail App, but the same email in the HTC Mail App shows nothing (even when it is set to HTML and have tried changing the size all the way to entire message)
Any suggestions, comments. Thanks.
You can use Exchange Activesync with GMail (the service, not the app!) to get mail "pushed" into HTC Mail.

Thanks for the fast reply
I think I must not have been clear in my first post. When using the HTC Mail I have it set up using the Exchange and linking that to my GMail - is that what you mean when you say use Exchange Activesync with GMail?
If so, which, if any is better on battery. GMail application or the Activsync to HTC Mail?
Hope I have not just confused everyone.
Push should use more power than sync once an hour but you can run push on both the HTC Mail app with gmail and with the Gmail application.
I actually run both (Mail app for corporate Exchange server and Gmail for errr Gmail) and whilst clearly they affect battery life they are not a huge drain and a full day or sometimes a day and a half is easily done.
Thanks @MARK
How do you set up Push with the HTC Mail app with GMail? Originally when I set up my email I had the option (through the HTC Mail app) to have either POP3/IMAP or Exchange. The first time I set up via IMAP I could only sync via a time interval the PUSH option was not there. When I deleted the account and re-set up with Exchange I had the PUSH option.

You can access Gmail using Activsync so configure as per Exchange (which as you say, has the push option)
Your can find the settings on this page

(yes I know it's the WM page but the settings should be the same)
Yesterday I finally bought a Desire, after few days of Android test on my Kaiser device.
On Kaiser I succeeded to create an Exchange account for my company email and to sync emails, calendar and contacts.
On Desire I receive an error regarding the server settings. I installed Roadsync and Touchdown and for them everything is OK.
Could be a problem related to the company certificates?
How I can solve it?
Thanks!
I installed the stock Android 2.2 email app and now everything is OK in the email side.
But the calendar and contacts are still not sync.
What exactly are your settings, where and how did you configure these, which Exchange version do you use and what is the resulting problem / error message?
kata2008: in the server settings try to put the FQDN of your server or in otherwords the complete name and domain name of the server
example:
ex10.mydomain.com
Hello,
For server name I'm using the ip address.
HTC Email application create the errors. I installed the stock 2.2 email app and now is OK. I can sync the emails.
But now I have another problem: I can't sync contacts and calendar. I installed the stock 2.2 calendar application, but is no link to the stock email application.
As I see, I need to use the stock apps, not the HTC provided by Desire.
Do you now how I can install correctly stock 2.2 email, calendar and contacts apps?
good to hear that worked for you. i dont know if you could install the stock email for it is included with Sense.. As i know you need to use the RUU..
@kata2008
Please read this thread. Perhaps this is you problem too:

Finally, a step ahead.
I installed the 2.2 stock email app, I restarted the Desire and now I can sync emails and calendars.
I can sync contacts only from Exchange to Desire, but vice verse is not working.
If I want to add a contact in People, I can't choose the corporate account, only Gmail, SIM, Phone.
Do you now how I can fix this last step?
Defy with CM7 RC1.
I've configured the email app with my work email settings (it uses SyncML, used to work fine with the stock ROM). The setup and authentication went through, it asked the usual questions about whether I wanted to sync contacts + calendar + email, and push email settings etc. But no mail every shows up in the Inbox, nor can I send mail. Any ideas?
Hello,
I'm using the latest BCM rom on my HTC Desire and even though I really like the new Email app, that comes with ICS, I found out that it only automatically syncs my main INBOX and not all the subfolders I also have on my IMAP account. My mail gets filtered upon arrival already at the server.
If I manually go to one of the subfolders I can trigger the sync, but I'd like to have this done automatically. There's no option for it in the settings. Maybe someone has modified the source to do this. If so, could you tell me how or maybe even send me your apk?
Thanks,

I have not been able to get mail pushed in almost 3 weeks. I always have to manually retrieve/refresh. I have tried using the native email and the gmail app but neither have any push option. I have sync on (both inside the email options and inside the Accounts Sync), power saver is OFF.
Has anyone else been able to consistantly have their yahoo and gmail email accounts pushed to this phone?

I use K-9 and would recommend trying that for your email. I went ahead and tested with my Gmail account and personal account. The default email app didn't push my personal account or my gmail account. I turned on sync for Gmail and after a couple minutes syncing, I then sent a test message on computer and received notification within seconds on phone.
I installed aqua mail last night and so far push is working like it should. Thanks for responding.
