I was just reading this on the
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmob....mspx?id=6d782351-d1fe-4386-a875-a0014394e06c
It also has Direct Push technology for the most popular email services (Hotmail, Gmail, etc), and with Exchange 2003 SP2 or Exchange 2007, it features Direct Push email from Outlook

Gmail directpush anyone know how this is posible ?????? Is it WM6 feature ? WHere do you set that up ????
I'm betting its a TMo app that is SMS based and requires a client on a PC somewhere to scan the mailbox.
gmail direct push
no, in fact this is not a tmo app. To set this up you need not have any other accounts setup, this needs to be the first account you set up.
go into activesync, click on sync my account with it now, for the address server type in m.google.com, then type in ur user name and pass and you'll be all set.
I'll post a complete description about it in the next couple of days, barely have the time now. sorry guys
It's using GoogleSync, see here for simple instructions

I assume that contacts under gmail should be synced with contacs on my hermes? But when I sync with gmail, all my contacts on my phone dissappear?

i have sync my device with gmail account but i'd like to change it into a different gmail account, do you know how to change the account setting..?
No matter where I look, I can't seem to find any one application that properly supports what I want to do...
I primarily use Gmail and Hotmail for email, and I'd like push access to both. The Gmail app supports push, but only for Gmail accounts, the stock Email app (CM9) supports ActiveSync exchange for Hotmail, but no push for Gmail. I tried K-9 mail and it supports Gmail push, but can't do ActiveSync exchange for Hotmail, forcing me to use POP3, which doesn't have push, or server sync.
Is there any single email app that will fully support both IMAP IDLE for Gmail and ActiveSync Exchange for Hotmail?
the stock mail app supports gmail push. did you try setting it up manually?

By nature microsoft exchange is the only push email. Gmail is only push with that app because it has constant data connection to google servers best thing google ever did. Hotmail or any other free emails are not push so your sol

You can set up your gmail accounts in the stock email app as exchange accounts. Just do a google search for "gmail exchange setup" for directions. Then you can set them up for push.

By default on android gmail is push no need to setup as exchange account. If your hotmail is a free account you will not be able to set it up as push no matter what you do.

Actually when Hotmail is set as an exchange server, it gets Push, free or not.
However, if I try to set up Gmail as exchange in the stock Email app, it says it's not a supported protocol.
I was in a similar shoe as OP.
Originally, I had multiple accounts pushed to the phone but learned that it's more efficient to aggregate all emails including work emails to 1 gmail acct. Gmail app will use the correct email address when I reply. And it saves battery.
Well I tried setting up Gmail as an ActiveSync exchange account and while it seems to work at first, it keeps reporting an incorrect username or password. I've verified both and even tried the Captcha auth step I've seen online and it keeps giving errors.
Add your hotmail email into your gmail settings using pop 3 and then all your hotmail will goto your gmail that's what I do fir 4 different emails

Except that POP3 can't do Push, so it won't work for my needs.
As it is right now, I get push email in the Gmail app for my Gmail address and push email in the Email app for my Hotmail account. I saw that Gmail can be used as an ActiveSync exchange account like Hotmail can, so my hope is to just use the Email app for both accounts.
Can you do with yahoo? Would love to have my gmail and yahoo!

It looks like it worked, I now have Gmail set as an exchange server in the stock Email app, along with Hotmail, both getting Push and server sync.

That's interesting. I have 3 gmail accounts all set up with exchange sync. I think you might have set it up incorrectly.

It only pushes to the gmail app. If you set up a gmail account on the stock email app, it will set it up through imap, but the app doesn't support imap idle push.
Google set up the exchange sync to deal with the iPhone, which doesn't support imap push either.

So, just to make sure we have everyone doing the same thing:
How to set up a gmail account for Exchange push:
(I am using CM9, Android 4.0.4, so the steps may be slightly different on a different rom. However, I have had thbis set-up work on stock Android 2.2 and 2.3)
Go to seetings> accounts and sync
Select add new
Select Corporate/Exchange
Enter your gmail address and password
Select next
Your phone will attempt an automatic setup. This may take a little while.
On the next screen, on the line that says domain/username enter:
gmail.com/[your username]
Now this is the most important step that gets missed most often. Ont the line that says server enter:
m.google.com
Notice that says google, not gmail.
Select next, and choose your other various preferences.
To make sure your email is set to push, go to settings for that account, and under data usage and email check frequency, select push.

Thanks but don't think the OP has been waiting since April for an answer.
i have searched all over google already..
So on my S3 i been using the stock email app. i have a hotmail account, same one for years. Every so often when i check my emails they automatically get deleted or disappear. So i log onto my hotmail.com or now "outlook" on my computer and all my emails that disappear move into a POP folder, thats why their not showing up on my phone. I have tried going to more options, and POP and deleting emails settings on my hotmail options.. changed it to what people suggest, and still the same thing happens. Its starting to really piss me off.
I have not tried k-9 email, i would like to use that as a final resort. i like the stock email app, i would just like someone to help me please with this, usually i can figure these things out but i have been banging my head on this for the past month now. Anyone else had this issue? what settings do i need to change on my phone? or on my hotmail account?
Any help would be much appreciated!
thanks!

Have you tried searching Google Play for Outlook App?
Yes. i have seen that app, but like i said before i would like to use the stock email app. If i download the Outlook app it will still put my emails in a POP folder. Plus the Outlook app is ****... and has ****ty reviews.

Hi!
In Outlook.com, if you go to More mail settings -> POP and deleting downloaded messages, there are two options for POP syncing:
- Don't let another program delete messages from Outlook. (If your other program is set to "delete messages from the server," we'll simply move them to a special POP folder. They won't be deleted.)
- Do what my other program says—if it says to delete messages, then delete them.
Basically, this happens because POP3 is an unidirectionnal way to communicate between a mail client and a mail server. When the client connects to the server, the server sends all the mails he has to the client. Then the server waits for an instruction from the client: either to delete or not the messages the client has successfully received. As POP3 is unidirectionnal, it can't send a "delete" instruction to the server when you delete a message in your client: it's all or nothing. This was useful when storage space in mailboxes was limited -- when you have a local copy of your mails in your computer, then there is no need to keep a copy in the server, and it frees storage space --, but nowadays, most mailboxes have plenty of space, so there is no need to delete mails from the server.
The last option will obey to what your client send to your mail server: if your client tells the server to delete all the received mails, then Hotmail/Outlook.com will delete straightforward the said mails. On the other hand, the first option won't obey your client's instruction -- and if I'm correct, that's the default configuration in Outlook.com; instead of deleting the mails, Hotmail/Outlook.com will simply move them to a special "POP" folder for you to manually decide later what to do with them in your webmail.
Having those informations, you then may want to check what are your actual Email app's configuration about received mails and selecting your prefered option in Outlook.com. But I believe there is a better option for mail syncing.
What I may suggest you is to add your Hotmail/Outlook.com email account as an Exchange ActiveSync account, instead of a classic POP3 account. This way, you have bi-directionnal communication with your mail account -- a per-mail control of your emails --, push notifications -- you will receive mails as they arrive in your inbox --, access to all your email folders -- you are not limited to your inbox only -- and you can sync your contacts' informations in your Android address book with the infos from your email account.
To do that:
1. Open your Email app in Android;
2. Go to Settings;
(2.2 Optional -- You may want to delete your actual Hotmail/Outlook.com account from the app. It's not necessary, and you may want to do it only at the end of this procedure, when you see your Exchange setup working.)
3. In Settings, add a new email account;
4. Enter your Hotmail/Outlook.com email address in the account field and your password in the password field. Then, press Manual setup;
5. Select Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync type account;
6. Click Next -- there is no need to change the default settings;
7. At the Account options screen, again, no real need to change anything, though you *may* want to change Period to sync Email to access older emails. Then, click Next;
8. Type a name for your email account to appear in Email app, then you're done!
Can anyone help. I have had this problem for a while but never tried to fix it but now discovered it is not only on my GNex but also my Tab 2....
Basically i have email via virginmedia.com, which i believe is all set up correctly with POP enabled etc and my phone/Tab 2 email client set up to never delete from server. Problem is the email comes to the devices fine and i can reply, send new email etc, but if i refresh the list to check for any new email, what was already in my inbox just disappears from my device, not into the bin, just gone for good!
I have Android 4.2.1 on the GNex ans 4.1 on the Tab 2.
Remember this is the general email client and I am on Virgin Media, this is not the Gmail email app, I do not use that.
Can anyone help with this problem, would really like to be able to get my email on the move without knowing I will lose it all straight away!
Thanks
Have you tried setting it up with imap instead of pop3?

How do i do that?
The phone email settings or the email setting for the Virgin Media client on the web?
You probably need to enable it in the settings on the virgin web page, and then complete the setup on your phone.

IMAP and pop3 are both enabled.
i thought pop3 was for incoming and IMAP for outgoing, do i have that totally wrong??

IMAP has the advantage of being kept on the server, and "syncs" to your other mail clients. For example, with POP3 if you delete a message from the inbox on your phone it will still be on the server (Virgin), but with IMAP the email on the server is deleted as well.

so if both are enabled, why do messages disappear off my phone when i check for email again??
i want messages to remain on virgin servers in case i want to get the message on my computer also... and i want them to remain on my phone also
I'm setting up a new Galaxy Note 2, and want it to use 2 Gmail accounts. I've set up the Gmail app to use my personal account, and that works fine. When I configure the stock Email app with my company Gmail account details it cannot connect to the server. I've double and triple checked the gmail id and password, and they are definitely correct, but the email app is unable to connect to the server.
Any ideas??
I've just installed Aquamail and that reports a "network error" when connecting to the Gmail server using those account details. The Gmail app is working fine

Did you try with K9 mail app?
You chose IMAP? You don't have a double verification to access to your emails?

I haven't tried K9 - just Aquamail and the stock email app. Yes IMAP is selected - the email apps both autoconfigured IMAP based on the gmail address
You can try to configure the 2 Gmail accounts in the default E-mail app only.
I've just tried with 2 Gmail accounts and it works without any issue.
