I have the latest rom and want to sign up for push email using outlook so my diary is always up to date too, anyone recommended a good provider
Cheers
Chris
Which country are you in?
Personally I am using intellisync and DON'T need the push email update.
And I am getting full replication of my diary, contacts, emails, notes etc.
My Blackberry has been handed back to my IT department.
EXCELLENT.

PS I am in the UK
How does Intellisync work? I've been to their website, but just get a load of rubbish - nothing on how it actually works.
Does it use GPRS, Wi-Fi?
Intellisync
Thats exactly what i have just though reading it, all i want is to have my outlook email, contacts and diary always up to date and email sent to my device as it arrives
fastmail
I use fastmail for my imap pushmail. It's not suitable for contacts/calendar sync.
M
I use t´his, I use that......Nice to know
But, how does it work, where do i get it and so on.....
I need a system to get my mail pushed or "blackberried" to my MDA Vario
I have a debian/confixx-Server, is there maybe any software that i can install to use this for email-push. If this is so, i woul give acces to XDA.developers-users
For Intellisync you need a PC with your Outlook email always running which you configure to push your email to their system, very easy setup.
Then you go to their website (via IE on the Wizard) and it downloads a large cab file, does the install, configures itself then downloads all your email (within defined paramaters like size and date etc, diary, contacts, tasks and notes.
There after any changes on your PDA or your Outlook box are automatically synced.
Uses WiFi or GPRS which ever transport method is available.
I made sure I was on WiFi when I did the install and original sync but since then depends on where I am I somestimes switch to WiFi or just leave it on GPRS.
Does this help?
Robin
@oltp
How do you achieve 'pushmail' using fastmail? I too have an imap fastmail account but I can not get it to 'push' my emails.
You're damn lucky, I almost backed-out of this thread. You need a third-party pushmail client. I use vgsmail for this http://www.vgsmail.com/ppc/ Mind you it isn't perfect, so I only use it for private mail not for business mail. My company doesn't allow that anyway. The support & updates from the developer are ok though.

I have looked at the intellisync.com website. Which of their products are you using?
I'm trialling pocket x-press. No frills - not cheap, but it seems to do what I want.

Sorry.
It does say Intellisync in a number of places but here is the website of the company I am actually using.
http://www.esemail.net/
Sorry about that.
Robin
Thanks
Thanks Robin,
That looks interesting, but I can't find a monthly cost anywhere on their website. Don't like the idea of signing up for a free 14 day trial without knowing the costs.
Would you please tell us how much you pay per month?
Thanks
plaxo is free
Its not cheap.
I thik about £15 a month.
But for me, only having to carry one device AND always having a fully upto date diary and email is a REAL boon and worth it.

If anyone wants a free way to get push e-mail, you just need an exchange server. If your company doesn't have one, you can get one for FREE from mail2web.com.

Anybody else using Gmail and the build-in mail client? It works... ok. But because the mail client only has a 'send/receive' button (and not two separate buttons), trying to send an email results in receiving ALL email since the last pop3 check. Frustrating since gmail won't recognize accessing the web mail interface as a 'check'.
Anybody got some tips?
Hi,
i want to use it but where can i get it?
thanks in advance..
well just enable pop3 in the gmail settings, open your htc universal, go to messages > new account > fill in the settings (auto config) and you're set.
If you are talking about something like google notify, that I don't know - I don't think it exists.
Or you can use Gmail through Pocket Internet Explorer on the device, it works moderately well now. They detect that you have a small screen device and present a cut down version of the "full" interface.

You're absolutely right, but what bothers me is that Opera 85 mobile could handle the 'proper' gmail. However it won't, because gmail detects the user agent string which can't be changed from Opera. Terribly frustrating, because it would work really nice alongside the 'fit to screen' opera feature.
I use the personalised homepage of Google (http://google.com/ig) and this will show me if I have any new Gmails along with several other RSS feeds and interesting snippets.
When I click the Gmail header I scroll down to the bottom of the page and there is a link to Basic HTML which makes life a whole lot easier.
The /ig page trick kinda works (but google once again pushes that ugly 'mobile' version rather than the 'normal' one. What would be perfect is a gmail notify -like client for PPC.
Anyone played around with Yahoo Go! for WM5 yet? Any thoughts .. reviews?

I used to have Yahoo.go installed on my WM5 Hermes (HTC TyTn, cingular) for quite some time. I love it, it kept my device in sync with all my yahoo services.
All my phone contacts where saved to my yahoo address book, all my calendar entries where sync with my yahoo calendar, and of course the mail as well. Also every time I took a picture with my phone camera, it will back it up to my yahoo photos, so that even after I deleted the picture from my phone it was still saved on yahoo photos, and I could download it back in to the phone any time I needed it.
I am very upset at the moment because I just superCID my TyTn, so that I could install the newest Cingular Rom in it, witch I did and it worked fine, but when I went to install yahoo go, so that I could have all my contacts, mail, calendar, etc. I find out that yahoo upgraded yahoo Go to 2.0, and that new version has not been released for PPC's yet, only for regular phones.
So, since I don't have outlook, because I always backed up my data and info to yahoo, now I have no way to sync it all back to my phone, so I have to do it manually.
The new yahoo go looks great, I can't wait for the PPC release, but until then, I will have to make do by manually importing all my contacts and calendar entries, and accessing yahoo mail by pop3.
check it out here: http://mobile.yahoo.com/go
My bad....
ok I found the link to yahoo go 1.0 here it is: http://us.rd.yahoo.com/mobile/conne...ad.go.yahoo.com/sm/ygo/win_mobile/ygo_ppc.exe
I just installed it and I am synchronizing my data as we speak.
Looks cool, worth a try...downloading.
Great find!!! However, I get an error message when I try to access stocks, weather and movies...anyone else?
It is working fine for me ... weather/movice/finance/driving directions etc. just link in (by opening up PIE, which is my default browser) to my already set preference on my "my yahoo" page.
I like the email integration --- much easier than trying to view my yahoo mail via webpage (and I never wanted to pay for the service to allow pop email access)
thanks for the link! I didnt know we had a working edition for WM5, it kept telling me no version was available!
I've been using this for quite some time. Makes easy backups of photos. It automatically uploads them to my yahoo Photos.
And backing up my calendar, and contacts is always good.
i have issues (here in the UK) of accessing Yahoo Messenger via Yahoo Go - it loads a blank page and will not take me through to the IM. i tried changing the part of the url from 'uk' to 'us' and got through - anyone else having the same issue?

I've just tried it here, it takes me to a web-based yahoo messenger. It sucks, but works!! I'm using the PPC version on a Wizard BTW.
Yahoo Go! for the PPC has a big memory leak problem.
Its been noticed before on this forum as well as the Cingular HTC forum. The application hogs all available memory (if set up to auto sync every X minutes), and forces a soft reset every other day.
I switched to using the POP3 yahoo account (premium service).

Are you using the one from this link http://us.rd.yahoo.com/mobile/conne...ad.go.yahoo.com/sm/ygo/win_mobile/ygo_ppc.exe
or this one
http://download.go.yahoo.com/sm/ygo/win_mobile/ygo_ppc_wm5.cab
This first is yahoo go v1 and the second link it yahoo go for WM5 for the Moto Q/Palm700w.
Maybe the old version 1 is bad, I havent tried either yet.

Thanks for clarifying, I wont try it now.
I am still using it ... I soft-reset once a day anyway ... it seems to work fine for me (but I am now going to keep an eye on memory to see if I have the leak issue).
Yahoo Go 3.0 Working!
Hi i just download Yahoo Go 3.0 installed to my Himalaya (XDA II) with WM 6.5, its working guys! and touch screen too!
Hi
I'm currently running a mail server on a dedicated box (host @ datacenter 30€/month) under linux with courrier-imap. There is a way to implement IMAP IDLE function, that is almost the same than pushing emails.
I actualy tested it without FAM (File Alteration Monitor). Fam allow you to have a realtime email like blackberry. I don't need it, the basic IMAP_ENHANCEDIDLE do a check every minutes and update if there is a mail.
I tested this feature through telnet and it worked lovely.
Now, in order to be able to use this feature over your windows mobile, you have the choice between to softwares.
The first is vgsmail http://www.vgsmail.com/ppc/ (free trial)
This one will just enable the IMAP IDLE feature on your pocket outlook (seems to be the more elegant way to implement it)
The second is WIS Flexmail 2007 (search at google ) (free trial)
This one is a new client (i don't like to change my use personnaly)
The major problem of the both solutions is that you have to pay for it.
Does anyone can do a patch for pocket outlook to implement imap idle fonction on it ?
Regards.
Reference thread: Here
Check out Seven.
http://community.seven.com/forum/main.php
I'm currently using it too work with my google IMAP account and I get push email. It works amaizing.
I don't know if its what your looking for but give it a shot and see.
I currently use it on my WM6 Hermes device and even though it not supported its working perfectly for me.

Hi, thanks for your tips, btw i like to know something, is it a standalone program or a plugin for pocket outlook ?
Regards.
Its an addon for pocket outlook that manages the account and the push functionality. It also does other types of accounts. It gave me push email for my work account and pop accounts.
You still read/reply and manage your emails using pocket outlook.
!
Fantastic, gonna test it tomorrow !
Thanks buddy !
Edit
I tested this solution, sounds like a third party server is getting email from your server :/. It won't be a problem if this project didn't looks like another commercial push (visto like).
Actualy Seven is acting like a visto, sevens server try to fetch mail ~2mn and push it on they proprietary client, who is pushing the message @ pocket outlook.
It means that my mail is going through seven mail server and Seven has all access granted to my mailbox.
I'm just looking for a soft (without thrid party server checking) enabling the IMAP IDLE fonction.
Test of vgsmail & flexmail
I tried to test them with imap idle
vgsmail has been renamed to EmansioPushMail, great, but it just crash my Hermes (Schap's 3.54 ROM). Tried an old cab called Vsgmail-Pushmail.cab (looks like an old beta). Result is the same (just with a different program name )
flexmail is working with imap idle correctly, but it's eating up all my memory (92% busy). So my Hermes just finish to crash cause it don't get enough memory (GPRS+Flexmail+msn+Audio Player).
The both solution are non free ...
Is there a chance to get imap idle implemented on pocket outlook someday ?
A desesperate Linux's mail server admin.
maybe it's a stupid question, but just to know:
within my Pocket Outlook GMail IMAP options, I have an option to check mail every 5 minutes.
ok I know, it's not really push, but what's the difference, I doesn't really mather if you get your mails within some seconds or within 5 minutes, or does it?
There is really cool japanese freeware mail client named Qmail3 - It has IMAP4 - I do not know about IMAP IDLE but it is worth a try. Some people call that program "The Bat" for PPC because of tons of features it offers.
WM6 also supports IMAP4 and HTML mails...i don't really see much benefit for another email application...the full device integration will never be as good as with Pocket Outlook, I think.

Hi,
Actualy, the option that you are using is wasting a lot of bandwith.
Send/Receive procedure
1/ contact imap/pop server
2/ auth on it
3/ check message
This have an effective cost of bandwith (wich is limited to 10mo/month in my case)
It means that if you use this system you gonna waiste almost all bandwith just to check if there is some mails.
Imap Idle procedure
1/ contact/auth once
2/ enter idle mode
3/ server send a notification to the client entered in idle mode
This solution permit to don't waste bandwith and provide a real push solution (you have to install File Alteration Monitor on your mail server in order to get it) withouth FAM it works also but you can get a delay (less than 1mn).
This solution is the best cause you are not dependant of a third party who's all access on your mailbox (specialy for work purposes)
We don't want to set up any microsoft server or exchange servers (linux ftw).

Depends on how often you get incoming mail.
If you only get one message per hour, but want to know within a few minutes of its arrival and set a 5-minute check interval, you're performing a LOT of extra full IMAP resyncs that are unnecessary, which will eat your battery.
There are also a number of other IMAP extensions usually implemented along with IDLE (known as the Lemonade Profile) that significantly reduce data transfers (and battery abuse), the basic IMAP support in Pocket Outlook does not implement these.

ok, thx for the clarification!
if the IDLE and lemonade would work in Pocket Outlook, would we be able to get push email in combination with the new GMail IMAP support? would be nice and cheap I guess
If you have unlimited text messages, use PushEffect - uses a text message to signal outlook to check email. Works great for me - http://www.qorefunctions.com/

vgsmail is now Emansio:
http://www.emansio.com
and in my testing it still (version 20070916143800) seems unreliable and buggy on my Kaiser (WM6). Great idea, I wish the darn task manager icon could be removed, and I wish it worked properly. Price is high in USD with the current exchange rates, but I might be able to stomach the basic license if it worked....

I have 7 yes 7 email accounts. 5 of which I use on my Hermes. It is a royal PITA to manually log into each account and do a send and receive. Is there some sort of "send and receive all" tweak button that can be added or is there a better email handler out there. I use Outlook for all my contacts. But am willing to look into other options out there.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Best commercial mail client for Windows mobile is FlexMail 2007.
Best freeware client is Qmail.
Both are more capable than default Outlook Mobile.
I am sincerely sorry for not getting back to you sooner to let you know how it was going, Q-Mail kinda flopped and did not do what I wanted. I just did a fresh install of Shwaps 4.31 and am enjoying it so far and I have dropped on Flexmail. There was a new version release today with some bug fixes and such. (I am not new enough to even know what the old bugs were. But so far I really like flex mail. It does seem a bit to Uhm fluffy at times, but is looking pretty good.
You would not by any chance know off hand where the setting is to tell it to leave a copy of the mail message on the server would you. I like to download my mail to my PDA and later when I am at a desktop pull that same message from the server, (and then delete it from the server)
Again thanks for the great sections and I will try and post back my results. Flex Mail does seem to meet my need very well.
