Which Mail program do You use ?

Hi all,
after a lot of Hard-Resets and trying around I am getting my system better and better. One thing I did not manage yet is to get my Messaging program check my mails each, say 30 minutes through GPRS. If I add 2 POP accounts and check them, only for the default, all works well. But if I receive just one SMS, the POP accounts won't be checked further until I do this manually.
There must be better Mail programs around there, so I'd like to know which once You are using without issues on the WM5 driven Universal.
thanks
Ruud

I forward everything to gMail as the web client works flawlessly.

Hi rilot,
OK, but what do You use to watch the messages come into the gmail box ?
I used "messaging" which comes with the OS to do it, works perfect until the first SMS run in. Then the "default" account will change to the text-messages and my gmail-box will not be checke further. Even if it has a "every 30 minutes" tag on.
As I have gmail and a few others which I do not like too much to forward, I wanted a good software for this (which does not switch off automatically)
regards,
Ruud

Not free but the best. There is a trial:

Hi schriss,
would You care to give some experience with the proram on WM5 and Jasjar ?
I did not find any information of it being WM5 compatible at all.
Thanks
Ruud

I'm using vgsmail, it's an imap client, so you need an imap account instead of a pop account. The software is still under development & not everyone is pleased with it. http://www.vgsmail.com/ppc/

Works fine on WM5, I use it on my Qtek 8310.

@oltp, thanks, but does not sound too good. And I am using POP accounts in the first place anyway.
@schriss, thanks, I might give that trial a go.
Anyone using WebIS Mail in its latest or a WM5 beta version ?

I've used WebIS beta. it's gonna be a great program when it's finished. the beta tho had some serious problems, I advise to wait. but when it's finished, it's all you need.

i use the built in connectivity of WM5 with exchange ... works great ... i've got a delay of a couple of seconds compared to a blackberry .....

I use fastmail.fm now for imap mail. Works great with an imap-client. Won't advice vgsmail for business-mail yet (large number of mail). I use it only for private-mail (small number & small size).

@ Kassad,
care to share some of those issues WebIS Beta has. Somebody just PM me the Beta, but I would rather have some understanding which issues are aviable / known up front.
Thanks,
Ruud

It would be worth checking out here for build 450 of what was WebIS Mail now rebranded as FlexMail 2006, I have been running this build on on my WM5 Pro with no real issues thus far, well worth a punt I'd say.

What is the best Email Client?

I am interested in finding the best email client for the tytn. I would like it to:
1. Fully integrate and replace pocket outlook
2. Be able to display HTML e mail
3. Download headers or small amount, allowingyou to retieve the remainder
4. Look Good!
Any suggestions?

FlexMail 2007 (www.pocketinformant.com) has all that. It's quite an impressive email client...according to many reviews possibly the best.
Hope this helped,

Just looked at this and coupled with pocket informant it looks perfect. I shall try this today. Many thanks for the advice

just be prepared for the unfortunate fact that if you sync outlook mail (either via PC or with Exchange), nothing is going to get you nicely formatted HTML mail

IMAP IDLE

Does the Blackstone support imap idle or another kind of pushmail solution?

Yeah, there is support for Direct Push through an exchange server, or for Imap4/Idle through 3rd party solutions like Fleximail or this promising free one http://www.codeplex.com/ImapPusherService
While Imap has the advantage of WLAN compatiblity, I still have to check the effect on battery life

perfect! I'm thinking of changing my email-domain to Domainfactory, which offers free Push-mail http://www.df.eu/germany/produkte/mymail.htmla
I wanted to make sure that both (Domainfactory and Touch HD) will work together.
Would be nice to hear your report of battery life.

can you use push-mail with gmail like on the g1 ?

@bug-i
I am using the free http://live.mail2web.com/ Direct Push for years. Only disadvantage over Imap is that one cannot send email with your choosen email address, you have to use theirs. But lately I am using Imap only, because it works better with different mobile operating systems
@L0ser
Yes, with the free PocketOutlook plugin mentioned in my post.

Would really be interesting if there is a solution to use push-mail with gmail...

Well, you could forward your gmail to a free push provider, and sync gmail that way. But I think Imap is a easier solution, and not bound to Microsoft or RIM.

anyone got web2mail to push email to their HTC?
Hi chaps,
I wondered if any of you have got this to work? I've followed all the instructions setting up a free push email account with web2mail and setup activesync to receive messages as they arrive, but I still dont get the email until I manually sync.
The only thing I think maybe breaking it, is the fact that I have setup nodata on my htc as my carrier charges loads for using data (I have wifi switched on and connected instead)
Any ideas chaps?

Imap Idle with gmail support, scheduling, etc... Look for email scheduler, it is posted here at xda, and avail here. I am curious how it works on the Blackstone.

push email

anyone knows of reliable,CONFIRMED, PUSH email service that works on the pro?

Alltel Based Phone
All I can offer is that Alltel offers on their phone.
It stopped working recently, but when it was working, my yahoo mail came through with no problems. Also outlook can be set to a higher frequency if you don't want to send/receive so often.

1. Any exchange server.
2. Seven (www.seven.com) together with gmail.
Those are the two I have used.

Good Mobile Messaging Works great... better than BlackBerry! http://www.good.com
It requires a Good Messaging Server.

Google's Sync service has supported Google calendar and contacts sync for a while. Recently, they added support for pushed email. A few days ago, I switched from using IMAP to using ActiveSync for GMail. Except for some times when it's very slow to pick up on new email, it works pretty well.

i agree with nispen - i've been using seven beta with gmail for over a year. it's worked almost flawlessly.

i see that Seven does not work in Brazil, where I am. The other service that someone recommended is SMS based. Does anybody know a REAL PUSH service like maybe seven (I did not test it, but understand it does what it is supposed to do) that work here?

when i first got my palm, there was a popup about some microsoft push service for the device... i ended up flashing to 6.5.1 and that feature isnt there anymore though.

try emoze www.emoze.com

Finally Hotmail Push that Supports HTML

Finally. Microsoft have released a standalone app for Hotmail which supports Push, activesync, folders HTML, the lot.
Called "Hotmail" and its by Microsoft + Seven.
http://www.liveside.net/2011/10/03/official-windows-live-hotmail-app-for-android-released/
Works perfectly for me.

It was already supported in Touchdown...

If you pay for it...

Nice works good for me too. I only can't seem te find the setting for changing te ringtone for new e-mails..

It seems to work quite good for me (5 accounts). But I have a big issue when editing/creating contacts : Only the name fied is available. I cannot edit phone numbers, mails, address, notes...
Do you know why?

I tried it yesterday on my DHD with MIUI but it seemed to drain my batt down.
Anyone else notice the same?

No, on the contrary it seems to be low consuming on mine!
I used to have the native google mail app to synchronize my hotmail accounts (with push). It worked quite well, but with no HTML, and the battery drain was higher than with this app.
After 2 days, it only used 2% of battery with push enabled and 34 mails received (and read)
Did anyone try to modify a contact with it? are you able to modify something else than the name? I'm not, so I had to keed another program to do it...

I was under the impression that ActiveSync supported everything, no need for this app. Not for me anyway. I just sync up with ActiveSync.

yes i also just discovered that MS active sync actually works as all the time i was trying to use the hotmail but have found out that tmobile are restricting outgoing messaging but i thought id try the microsoft activesync and guess what ? ........IT WORKS !!
so no need (well atleast in my case) for any hotmail or another app as the inbuilt htc email thing is working with hotmail by using exchange active sync instead of using the windows live/hotmail option

In fact it was not working in htc's app before the lastest rom upgrade...
It now works, but I still have some issues : contacts sometimes not synchronizing, no html rendering, problems with accents in french...
htc's mail app is still not very good...
this new Microsoft app is supposed to garanty that everything works fine. And moreover you have html mails at last!
(with pushed hotmail)

Thanks for that!!

Thanks, although I despise Hotmail, some people (family) still insist on using my 10 year old Hotmail email address and this beats having the once-an-hour GMail POP3 check only.

thanks this app is great!
