Windows Live Mobile Push Mail - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

I installed a custom WM6.1 rom on my 8525 and also installed Windows Live Mobile but push mail wasn't working on Windows Live so I went back to WM6 thinking that WM6.1 isn't ready and only to find out that push mail isn't working on WM6 for Windows Live either.
So I am wondering if Windows Live is having issue and it wasn't the ROM all long? Anyone experiencing problem with Windows Live push email?
I know all the settings and I do have "As Item Arrive" set but I still have to manually sync to get my emails.
Right now I am running Windows Live Mobile version 10.6.0034.0800 and wonder if there a newer one out there?
I am also running exchange push email which works fine with no problem and I had both working exchange and hotmail push email working in the past but the hotmail push email just stopped working like 2 week ago or so for me.
Thanks
Bill

My email is hit and miss. Sometimes it comes automatically, sometimes it doesn't

Windows Live Push
How was your battery life when using 'As Items Arrive'? Mine was not too good since it had an always on connection similar to Exchange. I wonder which taxes the battery more out of the two?
thx

I'm having the same issue, Mail isnt being pushed from my hotmail to the phone... it did work originally but not anymore.
Any fixes for this yet?

Same problem with same Windows Live version as in post #1

Count me in too. I thought it was only me. It is totally hit or miss on a schedule as well. I have had it at 15 and 30 minute intervals too, and it is not getting the new mail 95% of the time.

Me to
Same here, I guess it stopped about three-four days ago. Up to then it was working fine and I was well impressed

I believe the only way the push mail works is if you are signed into your mobile messanger as well. If you are not there is no exchange session on your phone open. Live mail doesn't work through poutlook's normal exchange system it works on its own. It is pushing mail through its system at all times. Where you are logged in is where you will receive it. Consider your PPC or SP another login location like your desktop, laptop etc.. if you are not logged into messanger it won't work.
Just give it a try and see what you get.
Thanks,

Push Mail will start working once you start Messenger Mobile (you don't have to sign in, just start the program). After that you can close it again. Alternatively, you could open Windows Live or click on "Send and Receive" in Messaging > Hotmail.
Battery time with As Item Arrives is OK, it consumes about 1% per hour on my HTC Touch Cruise. I have WM6 with Windows Live Mobile version 10.6.0034.0800.
Push Mail works fine but stopped working for me when I checked my emails with Outlook. This happened as soon as I signed into my account with Outlook Connector. To fix Push Mail again I had to
- Close Outlook,
- Sign in at Live Mail via Internet Explorer and
- Sign out again
Getting emails from hotmail via Outlook Pop3 works fine.
Hope this helps

Hmm. This really shouldn't be the case, as Live Services gets installed as a Startup Process when you do an install. As long as that process starts correctly when your phone starts, you should remain "signed in" to all Live services, including push mail...right?

I tried several soft resets and send test emails from outlook to my hotmail account but never received any of them on my phone until I opened a live application. I remained signed in after opening and closing any live applications, but unfortunately, they dont seem to start automatically. I had problems installing Windows Live on my phone, maybe that's why.

This made it work again
signing out and back in again - resetting all the settings - urgh - started working again.
found in another thread that if you have soft reset your device this stops it working

I don't use Windows Live, buy my push email works on my Mogul. I have my gmail account being fowarded to a free exchange server mail2web, and have that setup via ActiveSync. I have it set to as they arrive and don't have any problems. Battery life isn't too bad considering I don't get more than 15-20 emails a day usually
Maybe you could try something like that?

emoze.com offering free push email...any tried this yet?

www.emoze.com has just come up with a push email feature for mobiles and pdas.
i just wanted to know if anyone has tried out the service and how is it?
i don't have an outlook exchange server so i can't really set up direct push on my 8125.
I just checked and Emoze does not support the Qtek 9100 yet
try selecting the Tmo MDA.. same thing.. i'm downloading the program now to see if it works..
ok, stay away from it for now, it is in beta, but here's what happened to me..
1. it replicated my contacts about 40 times.. i had to go thru and delete duplicates... ugh..
2. Program on the PC desktop crashes randomly, it crashed 4 times in a 30 minute period..
3. kinda flaky performance.. it works as in the push email function, it notifies you, but then it took 3-4 trys on the PPC to get out of the notification/program and see the actual email in outlook..
give it time and if they perfect it a little, this will be very cool to have..

Cool, thanks for the input. Hopefully they'll fix the bugs soon so we can use it.
replicated my contacts also, it states that you cannot have activesync running while this program is running, which is kinda ridiculous...another thing is, it runs OFF of your computer, uses your OUTLOOK, nothing on their end, its just a piece of software...in other words, if your computer is off, no email....useless if you ask me
Ya know, it's a shame the T-Mobile's SMS-based notification feature isn't a bit better tuned. It really works well - just takes to long to notify your phone of a new event.
For anyone who hasn't tried it. When you go to the T-Mobile website, you can put in the info for one or more of your non-T-Mobile email services. You can use POP3 or IMAP4 servers along with your SMTP server, and you specify your email login and password.
After that, you can click on the feature in your MDA that retrieves specs for your email account from T-Mobile's servers, and pocket Outlook will set up an appropriate additional account for you in the MDA. With this all set up, you can, in addition to your normal way of checking your email, check your email account via the T-Mobile website or via your MDA simply by doing a Send/Receive on the MDA in the Messaging app.
The neat part that T-Mobile hasn't quite implemented 100% is that you can have their server monitor your email account for new incoming messages, and in turn send a "silent SMS" to your MDA to let it know when new email has arrived. Then your MDA automatically kicks off a Send/Receive, fetches whatever email is waiting on the server and notifies you.
This works quite well. The ONLY problem is that that it may take way too long for you to be notified that something new is on the server. This could be due to one (or both) of two possibilities:
1) T-Mobile's back-end servers may not be monitoring and checking your email server frequently enough. If it checks for new email every minute, that's great - but if it waits 30 minutes between checks, that's about the best you can hope for when waiting for your MDA to be notified about new incoming mail.
2) Even if T-Mobile's back-end servers "know" that your email provider's servers have new mail for you once a minute, that only helps if the "daemon" (or whatever process they use) sends the "silent SMS" to you immediately. If the "silent SMS" is queued up, and the process to send them out is delayed, or possibly scheduled to happen once every 30 minutes, we have yet another way in which it takes too long for your phone to be notified that new email has arrived.
Whichever delay is causing this, it would be fantastic if T-Mobile could fix it. If they did, this would, functionally, serve the purpose of push email for many of us -- especially for those of us who have unlimited messaging as part of our plan with T-Mobile.
despite the bugs, it worked great, and i'm gonna keep an eye on their progress..
This is basically the program i've been looking for. Something that I can load on my own PC (since it's on 24/7) and have it sync my inboxes on my 8125.. it was nearly instantaneous when it worked on my system..
a note to people that want to try this though...
1. BACKUP YOUR CONTACTS!!!!
2. Make sure ActiveSync is set to not sync anything, and turned off.
3. Then run the program..
I wish it was more stable, and i'd use it all the time, but until then, im sticking with POP updating every 2 minutes..
I can't get it to work on my PC in my office. My company uses a proxy server and the desktop app can't connect to the internet. Any suggestions?
not really sure.. but keep an eye on this thread from their forums, the emoze team might respond with an answer..

I think they started push service in their "live.web2mail" bbeta but I could be mistaken as I have not tried it. Even if it free it wont be for long as MS has pretty expensive licensing fees per user to use exchange server. I think they have 6 months where they can claim 0 users. The emoze you need your home pc on all the time. For me it would be ok cuz i always keep my pc turned on but for a lot of people i dont think they do that.
Any news on this? Is it working yet? I keep my computer on all the time and was looking at running Exchange Server from it to get Push Email, but maybe I'm better off waiting for this?
I've been using a mail3web live account for a couple of weeks and it works very well. I just had to set up mail forawrding from my own ISP. I'm pretty sure it's not push email but it works fine through active sync on the PPC as long as I remember not to kill the application. You can set it to synch with the sever as often as you like and as I'm a bit worried about getting a large bill and I'm not too wooried about getting everything instantaniously I've set mine to synch with the server every two hours. If I want to check more frequently I just hit send/receive.
Dave
Whoops - no I haven't discovered a new one! The above should read mail2web live account!

There's no tweak. mail2web just upgraded to Exchange SP2, so if you've got a ROM in your wizard that supports push (I'm using the 2.17 custom on my TMO MDA), sign up for a free mail2web account, forward your email there from other accounts, and follow the diretions to set it up on your Wizard, and you will get true push email now.
The only problem I have is that I forward my gmail to my mail2web, and once or twice/day I notice I'm not getting e-mail, sign in to my gmail account and under the forward it says gmail is having trouble forwarding to that account. I push try again, and it starts sending my email again for maybe a day. I think mail2web is either having a problem receiving so much mail (there's been a big buzz about it on xda and howard last few weeks), or else it might be a problem with their spam filters...
MC
thanx for ur reply...that's exactly what i did and got a gmail account too and everything's ok here...all my mails are directed to my mail2web account ( actually live.mail2web.com account)
But can not succeed in push to mail...my rom is the "test only" one I think it's the one before the official 2.17....Any chance to get it work though?
Many thanx...

odd sync issues

We just received new Sprint Moguls at work to replace our aging BlackBerries. I am having a couple of really bizarre issues with my phone when it comes to getting my email.
First, it sometimes seems like it won't actually sync when it goes to standby after a few minutes, I have to wake it and manually sync it to get it going.
Second, and the first issue may actually tie in to this, I have my phone set to to sync with Exchange OTA. I noticed this morning that I had not received ANY emails since Friday evening, which is abnormal (even if I did a manual send/receive, nothing came through). I got out my laptop and opened outlook to check my email. Immediately after that, all the email came flooding into my phone as well. As long as I kept Outlook open, the email would come to my phone pretty much immediately too. I just shut down outlook now so we will see if it syncs but I don't think it ever has when Outlook was closed.
I'm running the Sprint 6.1 updated version of WM FWIW.
Which exact sync method are you using? ActiveSync Direct Push (As items arrive)? or another sync program?
Have any other devices used ActiveSync sucessfuly prior to your tests with the Sprint 6.1 Mogul? If not, it could be an issue with your Exchange ActiveSync/firewall setup.

Yes, active sync direct push. It has worked for other people I know. I am going to try setting it up again and enter the settings directly on the phone to see if that makes a diff.
I have confirmed that email does NOT show up on my phone until AFTER I open it in Outlook. I sent myself a test email, nothing showed up. I opened up Outlook and connected to our Exchange server, I had five new emails, some both before and after my test message, and then told my phone to sync again and all five messages showed up.
Another issue I have noticed, my calendar is not syncing either. I have several items that I have in my Outlook Calendar that are not showing up on my device. This is very disappointing so far. Things are NOT going according to plan. It's worse because I have been espousing the WM phones over our BBs for months and now all these glitches. :-(
I was finally able to resolve the issue. Problem apparently was with the exchange server. After someone mentioned that server 01 (out of 3) was crappy, I got them to change me to a new exchange server and presto, problem solved.

MS Push email didnt work at all !!!

Good day all
I have set my HD2 to sync with my work email but the problem is that push email doesn't work at all, I have to click on send / receive manually to get my inbox updated. I am sure I did the setting correctly, also I have activated push email.
I dont know why it doesn't work in the htc hd2, my friend has an iphone 3GS and it works perfectly for him, he receives Work emails on time.
is it problem in the Rom it self ? my rom version is 1.48.405.2 (WWE)
can anyone help me please

I had tried to connect it via USB cable, in the begining of the connection when windows mobile device center sync with the HD2, it receives the emails but if the sync process stopped and I kept it connected for a while during that time I cant receive any new email on time and the inbox will not be updated unless I open windows mobile device center again and click on the Sync icon and after it sync again the inbox will be updated.
this mean even when I connect it via usb , it will not receives any new emails on time. it will only receive during sync process
Even though my push email is working i'm not convinced its working 100 percent of the time but i have always put this down to it being my push email provider's fault. Are you trying to use the GMail push email service? I ask because that is notoriously unstable. Can you try another push email service? Maybe GMail's sevice if you are not already using it?

Hi - I have the push email working fine with my employer's Exchange server, using HD2 with 1.48 ROM, so it should be possible to make it work.
One suggestion - delete the current Outlook account in Windows Mobile Device Center, and delete it from the HD2 as well. Then create the Outlook account again, making sure to do this on the HD2 disconnected from Windows Mobile Device Center, i.e. using the HD2 standalone over wireless or 3g connection.
You might want to unselect Calendar and Contacts sync until you have email sync working. You can configure the sync for them again afterwards.
This is just my personal experience but I have found it much more reliable to initiate the Outlook setup standalone from the phone. Good luck !

thanks Jon. I will do as you suggested and hopefully it will work.

I have the same problem. My device was v1.43.
updated to 1.48, push didnt work.
updated to 1.61, push email still doesnt work for me. My exchange server is from the company i work for too. Many other employees use Blackbery Bolds and they keep receiving mails as they arrive but i have to send/receive.
yes i chose the option to receive `as items arrive`.
go get Flexmail...fantastic app...specially now that its on sale for US$ 4.97 if you buy from WebIS site direct

Have you tried push mail with Gmail? If it works then it should be incompatibility issue or VPN access that restrict HD2 from accessing the company's email server.
My push with Gmail works perfectly. And I didn't setup using ActiveSync.
>>it seems push email doesnt work on the HD2.
I guarantee it does, I've both an iphone and HD2, whilst making the transition from iphone to HD2, both phones have the same email account configured (zarafa a linux replacement for exchange server with z-push ) and emails arrive more or less simultaneously to both devices.
Maybe you'd like to post your email settings and i'll compare them to my own.

It does. Just try and config a Gmail Exchange account in Active Sync, it should work. If it doesnt, there's a problem with your phone.
Got the same problem. And also running before same mailbox with a iPhone. (works great). Same mailbox is now also running on a iPod touch.
Push doesn't work, from the beginning. My outlook account is from a hosted exchange server. I'm gonna try to remove and perhaps try with another mailbox (never used by iphone/ipod).
Update: Did some tests. With another provider (T-mobile) it works. With KPN Hi it doesnt. Seems like some providers doesnt support SSL.

HD2 with 1.66 ROM and Hotmail

Ever since i updated to the new 1.66 ROM i have been unable to sync my hd2 with hotmail. everytime i tried to set up a new email acct using 'mail' tab on home screen, they simply open up my browser and send me to the hotmail site.
using the window live app gives me the same problem. With the old 1.48 i'm able to sync email with my hotmail acct directly thru the 'mail' tab on the home screen w/o opening the browser. anyone else experiencing this problem?
Live Account
I'm having the same issue, except on ROM 1.48 (still waiting for ROM 1.66 in South Africa!) So perhaps not ROM specific related! Maybe a hotfix somehow changed this. I am running the SMS Update of 24/01/2010 which seems to have fixed the SMS stuck in Outbox issue.
I have updated to 1.66 and set up hotmail perfectly OK through the windows live app. It syncs every 30 minutes with no issues so far. Perhaps you have some other applications causing a conflict?

have the same problem, i have to setup manually
enter a non valid hotmail acc first, eg. [email protected]
then setup the rest manually, do not download mails at end of setup (it will fail anyway since it's not a valid acc).
upon setup finish, go back to your account settings & enter the correct hotmail acc, eg. [email protected]. then download mails
1 thing strange is that it scan thru all your emails in your hotmail acc, which takes rather long time even though i set it for 7 days emails.
hope it helps
1.66 here, and yes...same problem with Windows live and hotmail. Wont work at all. Ill redo the 1.66 now and try hotmail right after to check if it works, before i do anything else. Stay tuned...

Yeah, I have noticed the same. Might have been some serverside changes or something at Microsoft, since it seems to be running fine now
same problems here. Just done a hard reset and still no joy. Going to flash another rom and see if the problem goes away
flashed another new rom and also a old rom that I know works and it still won't connect to live services.
It'll ask for user name / password, and then start doing it's stuff - d/ling contacts, inbox, folders - but this will take around 10 minuted for it to complete.
It'll then come up with an sync error and go back to the main page. Looking at sync status though it shows it as successful.
Hopefully it'll all be working again tomorrow as it does seem to be a problem at microsofts side

Hotmail is ruining my hd2, help

is it just me, or despite every method, setting, tweak humanly possible, Hotmail just basically sucks on this phone?
ive tried using the windows live client, ive tried using the htc email setup. ive set to headers only, text rather than html, sync only today, every 15 minutes. ive tried almost everything i can possibly find and still, it syncs 14000 emails and bogs down my phone whicl searching/connecting etc.
the only thing that works is to set the sync to 'manual" but even then, when i manually sync, total phone destruction (in the form of stuttering/freezing) ensues.
i get 500 exchange emails daily, puyshed in real time, no issues, lighting fast. Hotmail however...the worst.
am i alone ?
thanks
jason
14000
Yes you are alone.
I work in customer service so I'm gonna take a leap and say your frustration has blinded you.
Hotmail or windows live only syncs 50 e-mails by default. Take some time to calm down and explain exactly what is going on.
1) What ROM version do you have
2) What exactly are you trying to do
3) What program do you want to use. i e Windows live
4) What exactly happens i e. Is it immediately you sync via windows live that it freezes or is it when you try to run a program.
5) Have you tried a soft reset; and if you have have you tried a hard reset with only windows live initiated to see if the symptons persist.
We'd all love to help but help us help you.
I use Exchange and Hotmail both through the HTC email interface just fine. I have Hotmail on manual sync. Works like a champ. If you want, try going into the inbox first, then doing a menu-->send/receive and watch the status bar at the bottom.

thanks for the replies. ill try ot be a bit clearer:
there are several ways to go about installing hotmail; i believe i've tried them all, with every possible configuration. they are as follows:
(please note that not only do i have sense disabled, i do nto have sense installed on my rom (see sig.)
windows live msgclient:
-- i constantly recieve the message "windows live is temporarily unavailable, please try again". keep in mind that i have exchange mail pushed in real time and two gmail accounts which sync every 5 minutes, no issues with them whatsoever.
here are my windows live msgclient configurations:
1) today screen options are unchecked
2) sync options: only "sync email" is checked
3) sync schedule: every 15 minutes, although ive tried manual and triead real time, same results.
4) syc status: synchronized
5) roaming: both boxes are checked, but ive also had them unchecked, no difference in results. still get this "windows live is temporarily unavailable, please try again"
6) messenger: unchecked
7) email: preview size is 15k but ive also tried every other setting, no difference. the other two boxes are checked but i have also had trhem unchecked as well, no difference.
8) about: version 10.7.0061.2000
after this failed for the millionth time, i tried using the htc email client setup instead. and uninstalled the windows live client. i get that same message constantly, AAAAAND my phone freezes up all the timne since it is constantly trying to sync 14k emails.
thats what i have thus far. the email works mostly. but the popup is crushing my soul.

thanks for the replies. ill try ot be a bit clearer:
there are several ways to go about installing hotmail; i believe i've tried them all, with every possible configuration. they are as follows:
(please note that not only do i have sense disabled, i do nto have sense installed on my rom (see sig.)
windows live msgclient:
-- i constantly recieve the message "windows live is temporarily unavailable, please try again". keep in mind that i have exchange mail pushed in real time and two gmail accounts which sync every 5 minutes, no issues with them whatsoever.
here are my windows live msgclient configurations:
1) today screen options are unchecked
2) sync options: only "sync email" is checked
3) sync schedule: every 15 minutes, although ive tried manual and triead real time, same results.
4) syc status: synchronized
5) roaming: both boxes are checked, but ive also had them unchecked, no difference in results. still get this "windows live is temporarily unavailable, please try again"
6) messenger: unchecked
7) email: preview size is 15k but ive also tried every other setting, no difference. the other two boxes are checked but i have also had trhem unchecked as well, no difference.

You need an option in the setup to only have it pull from the last week or less off the server. Otherwise there is no way that I know of besides deleting all of your old emails on hotmail to keep it from pulling everything on their server, which will crash your phone depending on how many emails you have on there. Window's Mobile setup lets you pick how many days worth you need when setting up Yahoo.
Did you log in to the hotmail website? I know they made some changes recently to an Exchange server format. I know that with my exchange account it doesn't give me the option. It pulls everything off the server. So I move old emails to a folder that I created on my local hard drive and move them every week or so.
Is there an option to move emails to a folder on your local hard drive in Hotmail? OR maybe you can set it up on the website so that it only pulls a few days worth?

Yep. I bet you can set it up in that program. Either a local hard drive folder to move your old emails to or set it up to pull from a certain number of days. Now you are cooking with grease...
