I need PUSH email from my company email account HOW??????

Hi
I think title says most of it.
I need push email from my companies corporate email system.
We have a Blackberry server but I have yet to find a working Blackberry client for the Wizard?
On my old PDA2K I have been using Smartner Duality which worked great HOWEVER this does not seem to be compaitble with the Wizard so suddenly I have lost my email capability and need to get it back urgently.
Any ideas out there folks?
Cheers.
Robin
PS Smartner client on my desktop in the office used to 'forward' all my outlook mail via a special server they had and thence to my PDA2K.
It is this kind of functionality I am lookiing to replace UNLESS someone actually has the Blackberry client software!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

for MS's push you'll need to wait for a ROM update with AKU 2.0
for the time being you can just set your wizard to sync with your exchange server over the net (wifi/gprs etc) every x minutes

You can try vgsmail by geoffreycross to be found in the thread 'push-email now available' it's developed for 2003 & there are posts by yzzard to get working under 2005 as well. Need to add some reg.keys manual.

I WISH.
My company is running a REAL OLD version of Exchange server and our Firewall will not allow PDA's to connect!!!!!!!!!
Unfortunately this is not an option for me.

Hi
I don't think we have IMAP enabled on our mail server and I would still haev a firewall problem so this won't work for me either. :evil:
Robin

Do they support the imap protocol? if so try vgsmail.
Sorry didn't catch your last post, forget this one pls.

I doubt they actually block PDAs since Activesync just runs over port 80 and the mail apps just use standard mail ports. More likely they don't have the appropriate software set up to active sync. Sounds like you might be better off waiting until the next ROM updates (Rumors put it as close as this week, but deffinetly before the end of Q1 this year) and possibly looking into a hosted exchange solution and having your work email forward there.

Robster,
I don't know if Vodafone offers the same thing as T-Mobile here in the states but see if they have corporate email access available, T-Mobile does and it works ok, similar to Smartner (i used that when I was running 2003SE) it works on my network and it is really locked down from outside access and they have disabled pop and imap access plus we are running Lotus Notes (man it sucks)

AKU2 POLL-will u be using corporate or personal or not?

I understand the principle behind a corporate exchange connection.
But does anyone know any service providers or 3rd party companies that will be offering a personal service (aka. blackberry personal email).

maybe i'm wrong but i think A2DP was the bluetooth headset profile and the push mail feature is called AKU2.
btw: Happy using MDA Vario with free hosted exchange @ live.mail2web.com

right you are, stupid me !
have changed subject but can't change poll, hopefully people will work this out!

Currently running a XDA2i but hoping to upgrade to the Exec in the near future.
I say I'll be running personal AKU2 but I do have my own Exchange server rather than a 3rd party server.
I've found the info on this site amazing and will post as much info as possible once I bite the bullet and upgrade and have chance to run a full Exchange SP2/WM5 setup.

Push Email
Hi All,
I use personal push email & have a personal exchange account set up with 4smartphone.com where I forward all my gmail & virgin.net emails.
Works great for me!
Regards,
Knight

thanks kinght
I presume your m5000 has the latest rom with AKU2.
Some questions:
1. Do you use xpress, proff or enterprise ?
2. Is there a minimum term
3. Outlook 2003 desktop support is only included with proff or enterprise. Does this mean diary syncronisation ?
4. How do you know an email has arrived, does one of the lights on the m5000 flash ?
thx

Using it Daily with the Exchange at Work, And I nmyself at home run exchange, but that is Alais not possible, limitation of synchronising with only one Exchange Server,
I am extremely happy, and when I want quite I turn off the Push mail for a while...
Perfect

Mail2Web Live started today new exchange PushEmail for free!

Mail2Web Live is having a beta testing for their new exchange PushEmail for mobile phones account: http://services.mail2web.com/FreeServices/m2wLive/

i have an account but i signed up ablut a month ago.

If you spend too much time on the page filling out the form, you'll get the "too late" phrase. Just fill out the boxes quickly, type in the security card and you're off to the races. Push works flawlessly BTW.

work for me

works great, thanx!

Hi, where is the push email bit? I can only access teh standard web based email service.
Thanks

I can't find the beta push area either. Hmmm...

looked around...
only can see the web-based mail portion...
is the push e-mail a purchased add-on or something?

Since the device has push capability with the AKU 2.0 ROM, there is not a "push" section on the site. It is simply part of Exchange 2003 SP2. If you'll open active sync and hit the add server option, then you just type in mobile.exchange.mail2web.com. Fill in your user name, password and check the secure connection box and you'll be set to sync whatever info you want. Then go to the Comm Manager and push the button with the envelope on it. This is your push function. You'll see the GPRS connection start and any message sent to your account will immediately be pushed to your device.

Is there a way to change the reply-to address using this account? Also, is there any way to forward hotmail to mail2web? Thanks a lot!!!
MJB

I think you have to pay for that through Hotmail or other provider.

I've registered with mail2web, set up the active sync and enabled the push mail icon on the phone
Sent a test email to the new mail2web account, but nothing pushed to the phone ??

Thanks, man. Working great now.

One drawback is that the push only works with data connection (GPRS) but not WIFI.....
I think they have some agreement with the service provider to make people spend more for GPRS.
:?

U1000 Supports Push Mail Confusion!

Sorry guys, I have never used Push Mail before, but I have been reading about them and apparently getting myself more confused. I know that it's a way of getting your email constantly from a server so you don't have to keep pressing send/receive button(Pull).
Does Dopod 900 support Push Mail as well? How about XDA IIs? I looked at all the activesync, and they all looked the same to me. All of them support Exchange servers. How could I differentiate whether a PDA support Push Mail? Is it hardware base? or it's purely Software? What is it to look for in a PDA whether a system supports Push Mail?
Thanks in advance guys

Whether a PDa supports push mail depends on the version of WM5 it has. As I understand it, the version of WM5 has to include the MS AKU 2. That enabled push mail, provided that your email server supports it - it needed Exchange Server 2k3 and SP2. Note that there are some publicly available push email servers

Blackberry is completely separate and is also supported (as I understand it) on the Advantage - it is supplied with the Ameo

Ok This push technology or BlackBerry, does it mean that your U1000 GPRS must be turned on continously?

I was also wondering whether as a personal user without corporate resources I could have this. I just simply configure my pocket PC the old ways. I'm using a telephone company's free email account that was with me for many years.
Then, to my surprise, the microsoft voice command started speaking to me that I have mail coming in while the unit was left alone. I no longer need to get in to press the send/receive button in order to get my mail. It just comes to be automatically - no tehcnial complexity to think about.

There are some free push email services around - google them.

Hope i am not hijacking this thread but after searching the Forums without success... can anyone please help on why i cannot receive yahoomail on my Ameo running WM5? when i click "send / recieve" i get the following in the status bar
1. connecting
2. logging on
3. recieving headers.
then an error message " Messages cannot be downloaded to your moile device, check your connection settings " and a second message " message cannot be sent, check server settings and try again"
thing is the same settings work on both my Universal running WM5 and TYTN II running WM 6.
thanks...

Well, I finally bought Blackberry Curve 8320 for my push email purposes. And it's great. I only need to pay $20/month fee with unlimited data for send and receive email as well as Browsing internet using APN Blackberry.
Now the question is can I do the same with Blackberry Connect? Or blackberry connect only supports the email but not the browsing capability?
Anyone actually notices the difference between Blackberry Connect and Blackberry Curve 8320?
Thanks in advance,

Setup for Corporate email, contacts, calendar sync via Exchange Active Sync FAILED?!

Hi,
Just switched from iphone 4 to the Arc. Love everything it represents except for the corporate exchange email, contacts and calendar sync.
Tried setting up the exchange email with the same settings per my iphone (SSL on as well). Unforturnately, I have zero success in setting it up and was met with the following error message:
'Setup could not finish - Server requires unsupported security features'
Has anyone else encountered this before when switching from their iphone 4 to arc? I've also done some research online and the SE website actually mentioned that I have to activate 'device administrator' on the phone. So I went to settings->Location & security settings->Select device administrators and it shows 'No available device administrators'??
HELP!!

Hello,
I succeed in installing my exchange parameters (Mail2web) with no problem. I don't know how I can help you.
My major issue is that I'm not able to sort the contacts by Last Name/First Name (only First Name/Last Name)

Hi ludovic.audoin, good to know that you've succeeded in setting it up. My exchange server starts with webmail.xxx.com.au im assuming that's what you mean by mail2web?
What settings did you use for the following:
Domain: did you leave it blank?
Server: webmail type?
User name: just user name of with the @domain?
SSL: On?
Thanks!

Hello,
in fact mail2web is a exchange server provider. The only thing I do is to fill my email adress and password and after that it connects to mail2web and download the parameters. I did not go inside the manual parameters.

Ok,I've resolved (somewhat) the issue. Basically, the native email client is crap when it comes to supporting corporate exchange mail servers with strict security requirements.
So, instead of using the native mail client, I downloaded the 'enhanced mail' ($9.90) client from the app store instead. Set it up with the same credentials used previously and viola, it worked !!
But I have to admit, being a first time android user, im very disappointed with its exchange email integration as it's not as powerful as the iphone variant. On the iphone, I was able to scroll through folders with ease.
Still not quite sure if the xperia arc is suitable for me due to its limitation in exchange server integration.

Hi, I just got my arc in this week and can't set up the exchange active sync. My company uses version 2007.
And I also tried the "enhanced mail" and can't work, either...
Can anyone help me? Thanks~

Hi not sure why it didn't work in your case as enhanced email does support exchange 2007.
Have you checked your security settings (ssl etc...)? When I set mine up, it actually asked me to set up a 4 digit pin prior to activating the mail, contacts and calendar sync.

Hello,
are you able with your contacst sync with exchange to sort them by Name/First Name instead of First Name/Name ?
Best regards

Interesting... I now have 4 exchange accounts configured and it all worked great.
Must be some weird configuration.

It depends on the security settings of your corporate exchange server. Mine's very strict due to the nature of my work.

Could be. And most exchange administrators make tweaks for the iPhones because the bosses are using them.

Yeah mate! I got mine off eBay Aus and it's a Singapore stock (I think). Seller is local though and great after sales service. My arc's speaker died after 2 days and I got it replaced by the seller. You can probably get it around $650 delivered.
If you are planning to go on contract, I saw Optus selling it on the $59/mth contract for 24 months. Cheers.

just got the message from SE customer service: Arc can't support Exchange 2007 SP1, even other Android 2.3 mobile...
is it true?

Corporate exchange email with stock android client

Same here.
Our Exchange setup was just changed to support the enhanced security features and they just forced the "remote wipe" capability.
So everybody who was used to the stock client is shut out!
Google issued a patch for the same BUT to ENTERPRISE customers only!
googleenterprise dot blogspot dot com/2011/04/putting-android-to-work-for-your.html
What the hell was that about.
The stock android mail client was working for me a lot of the people and now it just gives some error about unable to connect.
Now if we need our corporate email we have to either buy the Commercial product:
TouchDown Email : $20
MoxiMail : $20
Enhanced Email : $10
OR compromise with the free clients which just does mail.
K-9 Mail works for most of the Motorola Droid phones.
I have a LG GT540 and it stopped after a day.
MailDroid works better on LG GT540 android phone. I have a rooted android 2.2 on GT540.
All the free mail clients are the basic exchange mail clients which can help you to read email and reply to email.
It does not have GAL (corporate addressbook Lookup). So you need to know the email address of the person to send email to.
Workaround: Corporate AddressBook
Looks up corporate addressbook and has search function.
After a few weeks use most of them switched to MailDroid which seems to be more stable.
Any of the genius out there who have been working on the ROM have been able to get the patch in so that the stock email client can work as it is supposed to work?
That was the core function most users use their phone for and now it does not work unless you pay up and buy a commercial product.
Help please
