First, I have a question about the push feature of the new t-mobile release of wm5. I have read on forums about a G3 and G4 versions of the wizard. Does this affect the push email, because my icon in the comm manager is grayed out.
Second, does anyone here pop gmail? I have many problems when I try through edge or GPRS. I use the settings
pop.gmail.com:995
smtp.gmail.com:465
it downloads my sent and received emails in my inbox and everytime it reconnects to check for new mail it deletes the mail it downloaded earlier. Has anyone else had this problem or have any ideas? Thanks.

hey... ur icon is probably grayed out cos u dont have a push mail server configured... push mail needs a exchange 2003 server with sp2... mail2web is a free mail service that'll give u free access to push mail...
gmail settings are such that u lose any mails that u have downloaded earlier... i've forwarded all mail from my gmail account to my mail2web account and configured the mail2web account for push mail... this way i get all mails coming into my gmail account instantly n they stay on the phone as long as i want them to...
hope this helps...
It helps a great deal thank you. Normally I expect to be able to turn something on and off without having it configured yet. I will try fowarding my gmail too.

I own a domain and I'd like to set up an account on it ([email protected]) which will be pushed to my 8125. I checked with mail2web and they said I'd need to use their business plan since I'm using my own domain. Are there any other solutions someone could give me? I like the mail2web contact syncing feature since I don't have my home Outlook contact list cleaned up well, but I'm more interested in the PUSH feature.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Forwarding
I just forwarded my email address to mail2web email. Not a good solution but works
pop3
or you can set it up as pop3
pop3?
What do you mean by "set it up as a pop3"? Set what up as a pop3? And how does that get the mail pushed to my phone?
Pop3 mail won't push... its not direct push. You can have your phone connect and download email through a pop at certian time intervals... but its not instant like direct push... pop won't sync either
But it is a way you can get your mail on your PDA, so its better than nothing...
That was my understanding as well, General. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something there. So it still sounds like the best/only way for me to get the email pushed out to my phone is to use the mail2web service.
If anyone has any other solutions, please let me know. Thanks again for the help.
option
The other option is to pay for it... There are companies out there that host exchange server. As long as they have Win2003 (with some SP installed) - Push is instantly available.
I use Push email service provided by 4Smartphone (www.4smartphone.com). You can also go to www.port88.org. A.Kelly has a couple of posts on this site where he's providing free Exchange mail service...all you have to do is email him.
HELP!
I'm new to the whole mobile email thing. I recently bought an 8525 and I'd really like to set it up for push email but I just don't have a good understanding of what to do and how to do it.
Can someone point me in the right direction? Is there a wiki for mobile email? I have about a half dozen POP3 accounts now that I'm accessing via Outlook 2003 on my PC.
Thanks in advance
Dave the Noob!
Hi Dave...i feel this is something which isnt particularly documented in the wiki so you wont get a standard "Read the wiki etc.." reply hehe
The BEST thing i ever did was to get a gmail account, and route ALL my emails through it, by applying tags to the emails you receive you can easily tell which account they are from. Pop3 accounts can be checked at regular intervals by gmail so no problem there, and if you filter them appropriatly you can get certain emails pushed to your phone via an exhcnage account. You can get a free push email account (exchange account) using mail2web.com's service.
The best thing about doing this is gmail's spam filter works VERY well, and you get 2GB of space.
I personally get selected emails routed to my push account (kindly provided by walshieau....not a public service) , and also the exchange account holds my contacts and appointments.
After a ROM flash all i gotta do is sync with the exchange account and my contacts/emails and appointments are restored.
i used to have push email with my blackberry. how can i get my yahoo email to be synced/pushed? tia
Read some posts here in the forum. This topic is described very well.
You need an ms exchange email account (eg. http://www.mail2web.com). it's free.
then forward all your yahoo mails to this account of let mail2web fetch them.
configure activesysnc on your device to fetch the mails and thats it.

^so does this service automatically send emails directly to me? after looking at the website, it seems like i have to go there to fetch the emails. im looking for something similar to blackberry's email service, where emails come to my device in real time. im sure it's a noob question for i apologize in advance if this has been discussed already.
It works flawlessly with this service.I'm using it for 2 years now, and I dind't have any problems.
Mail2web offers many services. I think you saw the OWA (outlook web access).
With OWA you can have a llok&feel Outlook displayed in a browser.
Search for a howto here in the forum, how to configure your device, and you will see.
It's an easy one.
In active sync on your device you can setup the sync interval. You can set it to: When item arrives.
This is BB style. Therefor you need 24/7 dataconnection.

Yes, the mail is pushed to your device in real time.
yahoo email forwarding must've been free before but now it wants me to buy the yahoo plus to get that feature.
Is there anotehr way of forwarding yahoo email elsewhere?
i downloaded ypops but it doesnt seem to forward
Mail2web, works a treat.
I briefly read this thread, and 1.5 hours later I had my Yahoo email forwarding to my NTL account which in turn forwarded to my new microsoft web access acount.
which in turn pushes the mail to my mobile.
On your yahoo mail page in the top right is a light blue link 'options'
select that and then on the right hand side is a link to 'pop & forwarding'
And that is where you enter your forwarding address.
Works a treat.
Now if i buy somthing on ebay, within 40 seconds there is a mail on my mobile.
pretty fast i think. and FREE.
Chris
how are you forwarding your yahoo email? Do you have the free account or paid?
bump(*_*) 666666
forwarding yahoo
It is just the free account.
Under your 'my account' add an alternate email address and set this address to primary.

Mda Push email??
Ive been following Jinwu57 post for a few days now and I would like to also know how to have my mail pushed to my MDA. I followed the post here & setup a http://www.mail2web.com account but it does not work for me. I am unable to sync my mail exchange in ACtivesync, In tools...Server source I get an error. This is very confusing. I have 3 email accounts which are very important to me. My solution was to open up a GMail account. Forward all other email accounts to my Gmail and have tmobile data check every 10minutes. Hope this helps you Jinwu57
Appologies, I had a yahoo group that was forwarding its mail to my NTL account. But I now do have my yahoo account forwarding.
On your yahoo mail page in the top right is a light blue link 'options'
select that and then on the left hand side is a link to 'pop & forwarding'
And that is where you enter your forwarding address.
This also forwards directly to my mail2web.com account. (small bonus)
I hope this is the answer you wanted (this time).

those options are not available on free accounts. Perhaps you obtained ur yahoo account when pop/forwarding was free.
yahoo mail forwarding.
I have only had the yahoo account about 2 or 3 weeks.
I'm not sure I described it well enough.
From the options menu you have to select 'mail options'.
then on the left I get 'pop & forwarding' options available.
You might have more luck with the yahoo clasic view.
Options (in the top right of your mail window)
then the option for 'pop & forwarding' is in the middle of the page under the management column.
also found this link that shows that forwarding is possible in both free and plus(payed) services:
http://uk.docs.yahoo.com/mail/plus/info/
I don't know that there is much more I can say, but if you have further question on this, please email me or send a personal message, as this is a bit off topic now.
Thanks.
Chris.

Yahoo push mail
Don't know if you guys know this or not, but Yahoo now has a mobile client for PPC and SP that gives you lots of stuff, including push mail. No need to forward stuff or anything like that.
I'm running that on both my phones and I must say that it is quite good. Check it out here: Yahoo Go! and download the client.
Quakie
Sounds good. There is an advantage to using mail2web, though. No extra app is required on your PPC, it works with ActiveSync and your PPC's email app.
and is therefore hardly any extra burden on the PPC's memory.
Good addition though.

has anyone tried Emoze from www.emoze.com. N do u need to have gprs to get emails.
Is there a way in mail2web to change the 'from' address? I can't find any.
thank you very much!!!
Hey guys, I'm not sure if this is a Newb question.. but i'm kinda stumped.. it's funny cause i have everything else down to a reflex.. (registry hacks, flashing, etc) but this is posing to be a irritating problem for me...
My outlook mail account dows not retrieve mail until i sync with my laptop.. which kinda sucks IMO... but then i noticed the Microsoft Direct Push tab.. and it states that it would retrieve OUTLOOK mail as it arrives.. so i'm trying to set it up and I am currently stuck.. ANY HELP??
after i enter my outlook e-mail and password, it then asks me for a UserName.... The password box is already filled in... Then it asks me to fill in a Domain... and then a Server Address... so yea.. i don't know exactly what i'm supposed to put in here.. any help guys?
It's not quite as simple as it looks like it should be unfortunately.
For push email to work correctly, the phone must sync with a Microsoft Exchange server. It wont just sync with your POP3 based email via outlook in push mode.
You have a few options however...
1. Manually configure your phone to send/recieve via POP3/SMTP every 5 minutes.
2. Use Google Sync. Google sync is basically a fake exchange server which you can connect your phone to. You need to set up a gmail account, and then have all your regular email forwarded to it, then you can set up Push Email on your phone to sync with your gmail account in realtime. This is what I have done to get around the problem as I don't have my own exchange server.
Full instructions are on the Gmail site.
The only downside is that at present, any replies you send from your phone will show up in the recipients inbosx as coming from your gmail address, not your regular email address. This isn't a problem for me as I rarely reply from my phone.
Hope this helps!
- Will
wow.. that sucks lol
thanks though man.. appreciate the help
No problem. Unfortunately it's a limitation of the protocol, not the phone. Direct push can not work over POP3/SMTP, it needs an exchange server to actively "push" the emails to any device or inbox.
