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 may be a little behind but found Mobipush.com and liked it but wanted to see what everyone else was using. you set up 5 email addresses and it pushes to your outlook folder (it wont save sent emails on the ppc though, wierd). How does everyone else use email? push email? I have an aol, yahoo and a work email address (wish i used my gmail more).
for mobipush, can you reply to from the original email addresses?
most people use a free exchange account with mail2web.
There's many other "free" push solutions, but most of them require additional software (which no one likes doing). Haven't heard of mobipush.
sorry to sound dumb...free exchange account? that means its their email address or i can still use mine? The MobiPush account i use my email account
push account
It requires software, but emoze is free and nice.
i tried them all, and the best one i think is mail2web. i foward all my mail to my mail2web account. I pay 5 dollars a month to have all the sent mail with my main email address. it links to the server so all my contacts and calendar and email are synced. Which is great so when I flash my phone (which I do often) i get all my emails and contacts through syncing back to my mail2web account.
if anyone has a better setup please let us know

How about a solution that keeps $5 a month, back into your pocket!
Guys nothings better than this:

You'll agree after you set it up....Plus it doesn't use ActiveSync so your saving your battery too, it pushes in the same manner Windows Live mobile does.
Does seven use SMS method of push?

Seven does have one that does but what I posted is Email Push only and it'll notify similar to Windows Live Mobile Hotmail.
As for AOL, try it, its listed in the app.... Nothing is better than hands on right?
I use it for my GMail & Yahoo! accounts...

Yes you can
So my sister has the 6700 and set up the "outlook" email to have push email with gmail. I went to set it up and it asks for the email address....then the username/password and the Domain (any ideas on what that means?), then next and it searches, and asks for the server address (any ideas here?). She said she set her's up with the pop3 address outgoing/ingoing...it never asks for that...
Ive used mail2web and I hate not being able to repsond with my gmail account unless i pay $5 a month. WHat i do now, is setup gmail to forward all my email to [email protected]. This setp is perfect for me; it basically becomes a notifier for you to check your gmail (so of course i have setup to check email manually). Works great and saves batteries as you can read alot of emails right off the text message
Do mobipush support HMTL Email ? Seven does but can't download attachments for some reason.

Try this one. You have to download their software but it doeesn't put much of hit on your phone. http://www.funambol.com/
I installed my own exchange server cuz mail2web wasn't workin' for me as I have my own custom domain... They make you pay if you want to change your reply-to address.
Windows Server 2008 + Exchange 2007 is VERY slick if u can run into the licenses... I do feel a lil geeky installing enterprise software for 1 mailbox tho? lol. The web mail is awesome too lol. and not to mention using regular outlook... having everything linked together is sweeeeeet... open outlook on laptop ... add a contact or make a change and seconds later look at my pda and it's already sync'd... slick!
I really could NOT be happier having exchange sync on my device... it makes ALL the difference in email and contact sync... I lost my contacts so many times from hard resets and syncs between computers messing up... exchange is DEF the way to go for the all-around best experience.
Dont forget Windows Live push Email
Windows Live mobile services does free push email on Hotmail, MSN, Live, and OfficeLive email for free... even on free accounts.
Or forward you existing mail to a free Hotmail, MSN, Live, and OfficeLive email account.
I made a quick video on how to do it here.. no hacking necessary.

How do you set up your own exchange server? now that would be awesome.
The service i mentioned above syncs calander, mail, tasks, contacts. I have it sync on my work desktop, my phone, my laptop, and my home compter. Best of all its FREE http://www.funambol.com/

No simple task... you need Windows Server (2003 or 2008) with lots of roles installed before you can install Exchange. And I wanted to go with the new Exchange 2007 which requires a x64 operating system as well.
Exchange isn't really meant for personal use.. it's a business/enterprise server installation... I just didn't wanna pay the $5-10/month for exchange hosting from someone else so I setup my own... Microsoft really needs to release some kind of a "personal" exchange server or something because it really stinks all these windows mobile peeps can't have exchange functionality without paying for a service
I have a Nexus One working fine on Orange.
I use it for my Blueyonder email account which is set up just the same as it was on my Hero.
The problem is this:
I get the email notification to say i have new emails, then i go into my emails and the emails are there. Then it starts to refresh my emails and then before my eyes there all disappear! It deletes them before i have chance to read them.
If i then go onto my pc to check my emails there are none there. So its obviously deleting them from the server.
Now i have checked double and triple checked the settings.Its definitely not set to delete from server or even delete when read.
Any help will be appreciated as i dont know what is going on and I'm losing important emails.
I take it you are using the native email client?
Maybe this is not the answer that you are looking for but I use the Gmail App instead of the native Email client. That way I get the benefit of Push without having to refresh.
If you are interested in doing the same then all you have to do is..on your PC:
Gmail > Settings > Accounts and Import > Check mail using POP3: > Add POP3 email account.
Then all blueyonder emails will be pushed to the Gmail App and you can set a label for them as well.
Yes i am. I`m just upset that it doesnt work just like the Hero did. That was spot on..
I`ll try your idea if no one comes up with a solution for me. Cheers.
I agree with Abbsta... you should to add your blueyonder account to gmail and receive all your blueyonder emails in gmail account.
it is much easier and being a google phone it works well with gmail accounts...
I did what you said and its spot on cheers..
Just an update. Spoke to HTC had no idea why it was doing but suggested i use imap instead of pop3.
It worked!
I am not sure if this is the right place to post this, but here we go.
My company uses Groupwise as their email system. Furthermore they refuse to enable POP or IMAP. We do have a BES server for Blackberry's and some mobile solution using Intellisync for WinMo devices.
The only solution so far (A horrible one at that) is to just forward all emails to my gmail account and my Nexus One can see them all.
Two problems.
1. They all come from me so I have to open every single email to see who it is from and what it is about.
2. I can not reply because it just replies to my Groupwise account (The account that forwarded the email).
I have been searching for days as to how I can accomplish this task. I am willing to dedicate a computer in my house that can poll Groupwise and IMAP that information to gmail if that is possible.
If anyone has any ideas, I would be very very appreciative. I will go to almost any means to get this done. I do not even understand my IT department. they said it is ok to forward all my emails, so why not open IMAP? Thanks in advance.

i once worked for a company that had similar email policies using Exchange. so, i signed up for @ $7/month Exchange account with 1 and 1 where i could manage email as if it came from my company account. since my former employer allowed email forwarding, i'd forward to my 1 and 1 account and use a feature that allowed my replies to appear as if they came from my company account. i'm not sure how it would work with Groupwise. oh yeah, i used my travel per diem to cover the monthly expense!
I know this most likely wont be much help but I use lotus notes for example and I have a similar issue where I can't just directly access the account via IMAP or POP. Instead the LN client lets me setup a rule that resides on the server side that forwards the emails to my Gmail account. This has the benefit of preserving the sender (instead of your email address) and when I reply it will go back to the entire distribution list. The only drawback is that it still replies using your gmail credentials which may be bad if this is company mail.
So the rule has to be applied to the emails before they post in your account otherwise you get what you are already using which is forwarded notes from your inbox which will have your name as sender each time. Some rules will say :"When email arrives" then "Forward entire message body to:"...

Is GroupWise accessible from Exchange?
I don't understand; is there some other mail technology that is not POP, IMAP, or Exchange?
Yea that's my problem, Groupwise only has (on the client at least) "When email arrives". I am seriously hating this....

Can you use Intellisync to sync with Outlook on your work PC and sync that with the N1?
Just to be clear, I can set up an auto forward rule in Groupwise to forward all mail to my gmail account. The problem is all the emails in the gmail account have a from "my groupwise account". Then if I try to reply to that email, it reply's To "my groupwise account". So technically I just have a huge annoyance issue I am trying to resolve here.
Here is what I have so far, but I do not know if it is even helping...
I found a Groupwise Connector for Outlook. This allows a dedicated computer at home the ability to have all of my Groupwise mail. Now that I have this dedicated computer set up that has all my emails in real time. I need some way of syncing them to Gmail. I have CompanionLink, but this just syncs my calendar, contacts and tasks... No email.

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!

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.
Can I sync all the emails I have 'attached' to outlook to my HD2 without having a whole bunch of different email inboxes for each email inbox on my phone? (I think I'm even a little confused with that sentence :s)
I use a personal gmail account and a seperate work account, both through outlook on the computer. Each having the same inbox is pretty nice. I was wondering if it was possible for the hd2 to 'send/receive' in the same email inbox for these two different emails? I'd like to use direct push and receive everything constantly, as promptness is my preference. Can I do it similarly to how I have it set up on the PC?
I gave this a quick look and didn't see a similar thread anywhere, and I hope this made sense. Please let me know what I can do to accomplish this.
Thanks in advance.
You could create a new gmail account, and then link your phone to that account. Forward all messages from both the work exchange account and current gmail account to that new account. Voila!
Otherwise, it's pretty impossible to get 2 push mail accounts into one account on the phone.
