I understand SMS compared to email, whats Messenger service ( ie Yahoo messenger ).
What happens when a Yahoo message hits your PPC in WM5, does it end up in an email account like SMS ?
I know that SMS is quick than email, as its a phone call, whats IM or messenger is it quicker than SMS ??
I know nothing about IM or Messenger services, please advise a newbie ?
SMS, Email, and IM services are three distinctly different methods of communication.
To make it simple:
Email is routed by email servers using the internet.
IM services (generally) operate on the "server/client" principle. For example, you use MSN Messenger, when you log in... you authenticate with MSN and you are connected through their server to people on you contact list. They are considered an Intermediary (this is not ALWAYS true for all IM providers). This service _also_ uses the internet.
SMS does not (in my experience with providers) directly, use the internet. Your SMS message is sent through the cellular radio service to a reception number, from there it is delivered through the cellular network. Hence the reason SMS will work without a GPRS connection.
Now I maybe wrong on some of this but I'm fairly confident in my response. If there are any corrections to be had, please let me know and I will gladly alter my memory to equip that change

Has onyone heard about sth like this?
What kind of notifications are you thinking about? SMS? If so, maybe this is one service provided by GMail (I'm not using this provider) but it will definately cost. In germany, some carriers give you free email accounts with free SMS notifications. You can forward your mail from GMail there and receive a notification whenever an email got in (actually, this is what I'm using - free and perfect!).

"The Gmail Notifier is a downloadable Windows application that alerts you when you have new Gmail messages. It displays an icon in your system tray to let you know if you have unread Gmail messages, and shows you their subjects, senders and snippets, all without your having to open a web browser."
Yep, it's called pocket outlook. There you can set it up to check your mail periodically (costs GPRS data = money).

Does it support secure connections?
I don't think so...
Yes it does - SSL connections.
Haven't you checked your email settings already?
Now I remember...
I've tried it.
But the method of full synchronisation (like in PO) isn't very GPRS friendly...
Full synchronisation? What do you mean? You can set PO to only get the headers and fully download only the mails you want to (check them for download afterwards). I don't see the difference to a special application which does the same (i.e. checking the server periodically for new mails and downloading them if the user wants to).
The quote above is for a PC alert, not a PPC alert. If your pop settings are correct on your gmail account, it should work for you.
Any help would be appreciated.....
I currently have T-Mobile USA myemail running and it sends me an alert everytime I get a new email at work, I then have to open my inbox and do a send/recieve its not a problem but I would like to know if an sms can trigger a send/recieve??? I know that I can set it to do one every # of mins but having the gprs constantly connected decreases the battery life
vgsmail imap-client
Take a look at vgsmail in the magician thread 'pus-email now available'. It's an imap client running on WM2003.
You got to have gprs constantly connected though, but I can hardly live without it anymore.
Regards, M
thanks for the reply I already have the email running, but i get an sms when new email arrives and then i have to do a manual send/recieve
oltp's advice is worth a look - a different way of collecting the mail -much like a blackberry using IMAP instead of polling
I would love to look at alternativs but my corporate email is not accessible from outside the network and has no imap or pop access
we are on lotus notes so I have to use an app like smartner or t-mobile myemail it does the job and I found a t-mobile app that does what I needed
but thanks for the input
Lotus Notes has support for the IMAP service, but you've got to convince your administrator to turn it on.

Hi,
I have just upgraded from a very tired SE P900 to an Orange SPV M5000/HTC Universal and so far am loving it.
I run several email accounts and would like to be able to monitor at least two or three of them from the M5000, collecting the emails seperately as opposed to forwarding them all to a central inbox but there doesn't seem to be any logical way of doing it.
Also, what is the cheapest way of setting up some sort of push email functionality - I have only just started to look into this and see that Orange charge extra for the service.
I have updated (after problems with the Country ID error) to Orange's AKU2 ROM and have Exchange Server 2003 installed and have access to fixed IPs on the web, etc so can do a lot of things from my end.
Most of the time I will be using it at 3 different sites where I have wireless access and then occasionally would want to use either 3G or GPRS, whatever is available.
Any pointers would be appreciated.
For three seperate e-mail accounts, I'm not sure how to do that with normal POP email.
However, I myself run an IMAP server instead, and it keeps the IMAP emails in a seperate folder for each account. And as a big plus, everything you do is automatically synched between your email clients (e.g. when I read something on my phone, it's also marked as read on my PC)
I hadn't considered IMAP, however how do you deal with sending messages so that they go out of the different messages?
I need to ensure that the messages from the three accounts are kept totally separate with no confusion between sending addresses.

I'm not sure with multiple IMAP accounts, but I do know that if you press "New", it'll just start the message with the current account you're browsing. So if I'm browsing the SMS inbox and press "New" it'll send as a text message, and in IMAP it'll send as an email.
Think your best option would be to test
Sorry, I am a newbie to this. Would you tell me what is IMAP?? and how do i set it up to check my email account?? is it sort of like the push email??
Thx
Maggie
The two main protocols for collecting email on the web are POP3 and IMAP - with POP3 your mail gets delivered into a POP3 mailbox at your ISP and you then login with your mail program to download the emails to your local machine.
IMAP was developed on the basis of leaving your emails on the server and then only grabbing the headers or message bodies that you are interested in reading.
For example I run my own Exchange server and connect to exchange from my desktop to read/send emails. I can then use IMAP from my Universal to connect and give me a view of my message on the Exchange server - it downloads the headers and shows the ones I have read/not read. When I read a message on the Universal it is marked as read back on the Exchange server and appears as read on my desktop and vice versa - this way I don't have any duplicate messages.
Sorry, a bit long winded, but should give you an idea of how handy it can be - the biggest problem is that few ISPs openly support it due to the message store overhead.
Thank you Julian. What program should i use for Imap???
I wanna give it a try. Is there any other softwares out there which givesyou the blackberrry function??

Check the "mail service" (You are using it to write/reply sms, but probably dont know that it can be used to write/reply email)
You can change the notification, and you will get email like sms.
(HTC Home or Manila2D is required)
So I have the phone and was wanting to start exploring the IM/Chat clients. I have MSN,Yahoo,and ICQ accounts.
BUT.... my wife and I have text messaging blocked, and I don't have a text plan. I get strange messages that the IM clients are disabled. I guess I didn't think text messaging was the same as instant messaging?
Am I right should it be separate.... or are they Dependant?
Thanks appreciate your help.
Grab a copy of palringo from palringo.com...it can log onto aim, icq, msn, yahoo, etc....and send/receive text/pics and voice msg's....for free and uses only your data connection....be it wifi, edge/3g or activesync to a pc.......
