Push-email now available

Hi,
I'm rather excited to announce the very early stage alpha release of my push-email client which has been an ongoing fun project of mine ever since I dumped my Blackberry for an i-mate Jam (actually I went via a Treo with Chatter which was almost as good as the Blackberry).
What I have implemented is a IMAP transport which supports the IDLE extension. Therefore if you mail server provides IMAP access (many do) you can probably have push-email on your Pocket PC without running exchange and without any intermediaries. And obviously as this is IMAP, all new email and changes are synchronized both directions on your desktop and your PDA. This is only a 'transport' and so you will still use Outlook (or any other MAPI client) as your user-interface.
Now a few comments:
The code is in a pretty early stage, but I have personally been running it for a while now without any problems. I know of a few bugs, and will put up a bug-tracker sometime over the next couple of days; in the meantime, please post here for help and bug reports.
I have tested the IMAP implementation against a few different servers, but there might be some issues. Please post here if you have problems and I'll provide you with a debug version which will allow you to help me diagnose the problem.
A few of the main limitations of the current release: 1) only incoming email (sending is now my top priority for the next release); 2) only one mailbox (and it must be your INBOX) can be synchronized; 3) no attachments at the moment.
Battery life of your PDA will obviously be limited, as a socket connection is kept open. However, I have personally found there to be very little difference under normal usage.
Clearly you need to have a 'data plan' from your provider, and under normal usage the IMAP client will be transmitting data on a regular basis. So if you pay per MB, this is going to cost you. I have been careful to keep this to an absolute minimum, but it will obviously depend on how much email you receive. In 'idle' mode (i.e. with no incoming or outgoing email), the traffic will be less 0.5kB per hour.
There is no particular reason why this shouldn't run on other Pocket PCs. However as I have only tested it on my i-mate Jam, I'll have to leave that up to the patient and brave for the moment (if you do try and have problems, please post or email me, as I'm hoping to provide support for as many phones as possible including Smartphones).
I will eventually support WM5. Why bother as there is already push-email provided with WM5? Because this way you don't have to have an Exchange email server!
So enough from me. If you're still willing to give this ago, I'd very much appreciate your feedback. I've put the downloads and some brief installation instructions here:
http://www.vgsmail.com/ppc/
Hope this works for you!
Geoff.

Hi, the 512bytes an hour sounds good, but some providers 'round up' the data, im not sure what rules they follow, and by how much or how often. But you may find that it ends up being 100k an hour because of this rounding.
Does anybody know how to find out the rounding rules for networks in the UK such as Orange and O2 ?

FWIW, T-mobile UK don't round and simply compute the 'total' over a full month.

I'm verry glad I live in The Netherlands. T-mobile NL has a flat rate plan for GPRS/WIFI/UMTS only €9,50 without limitations, even no fair use. As much data as you want. The only limitation is the max. bandwith for UMTS (64KB). Doesn't matter since the MDA has no UMTS.
Greetz,
Giovanni

Hi geoffreycross,
This could be what I'm waiting for. But i cannot get it to work properly. First installed it to storage following your steps and got an error that it couldn't get a socket. After soft-reset I got the error that it couldn't open MAPI interface. Reinstalled it to main, recreated the mailaccount in different orders nothing changed. Errorlog is greyed out, so please send some debug code.
I'm on flatfee TMO, so the data costs or no problem.
Looking forward to your answer,
M

oltp:
I have PM-ed you with a debug version. I forget my email address on the original post. If you have bugs, you will get the fastest turnaround if you email them to [email protected]
The transport can definitely not be installed onto a storage card and I would recommend trying. I'm not sure about the client executable, but I doubt it (and it's pretty small anyway!). I am surprised it worked at all. However the problem does not sound like it is related to the storage card. I'll give a full diagnosis when I see the debug trace.
Geoff.

Well played
only just installed this program, seems to work with Leeds Uni imap accounts. excellent solution to a much overlooked inconvenience.
Who needs BlackBerry with this little gem.
Cheers

Geoff, this looks great! Thanks for your efforts! Question I have is how this solution differs from the existing functionality in the built-in mail client to connect and get mail every x minutes? My understanding is that this is still a pull solution driven by the pocketpc keeping an open socket and querrying the IMAP server on a regular intervals. Am I missing the obvious here? Regards & Thanks

Edited to remove duplicate post. Have no clue how I did that. Apologies.

GREAT WORK!
Make it works with Gmail and Yahoo Mail and it'll become GREATER!
Keep up the good work

I've got a problem with WebIS Mail 2
I can't choose vgsmail (choice is between POP3 and IMAP) there :

Is there a way to make it possible ?

There is an extension to IMAP called IMAP IDLE which I am using. In this mode, you keep the socket open but you don't need to actually do any polling as the server pushes messages down the socket as soon as they arrive. So when a message arrives you will generally receive it within seconds, and when no message arrives there is no data being sent in either direction (with the exception of a keep-alive message very 30 minutes or so). This is exactly how Blackberry and push-email with WM5 works (although they use their own proprietary protocols which require you to use their servers).

DocteurN:
I have just tried out WebIS2, and it seems that they don't use the standard 'MAPI' interface for email (this is slightly surprising and disappointing as the API is designed to be available to 3rd parties). Therefore my transport won't work currently with WebIS. I'm going to have a look and see if I can reverse engineer their storage format and if I can I will be able to support WebIS. In the meantime, I'm afraid you will have to use the built-in Pocket Outlook.
Geoff.

FOSA:
Unfortunately gmail and Yahoo both provide POP but no IMAP which means that you're back to polling on a regular schedule (and that is not 'push-email' really). There are a number of groups trying to pressure Google and Yahoo to implement IMAP support (apparently it is the most requested feature of gmail).
In the meantime, have you considered using a mail provider like www.fastmail.fm which would pull email from the various servers and provide IMAP access to them all?
Geoff.

Isn't this how Seven (Smartner) works?

Yes and no.
Seven does use IMAP, but the connection is made via an intermediary server owned by Seven and your PPC will then connect to the Seven server using a unspecified protocol. Therefore you need to give them your userid and password. The code I have written connects directly to your own mail server and cuts out the 'middle man'. To be honest, I have no idea why Seven implemented it this way (other than to allow them to charge a yearly subscription).

Suggestion
Using the software, so far seems excellent but I've noticed two things so far:
- The setting to only pull messages within X days doesn't seem to work, it's downloading all the messages
- When you connect to the server after losing GPRS connection for a while, when it reconnects it displays new email message despite them not being new. Would you be able to limit the new email message to unread emails only?
Cheers for this excellent application, your effort is much appreciated

herman3101:
1) Yes, there are a number of settings which are currently ignored. The size limit of the initial download is also ignored. I have these on the bug-fixes list. The date limit on the downloads is slightly more complicated as the synchronizing is now constantly happening and so it might appear a bit strange if your messages suddenly disappear as their age 'expires'. I will think about that one.
2) Yes, the 'new email' notifications are a bit screwy. I will fix that asap.

hi geofreeygross
hi. this push email idea is excellent. despite your warning about wm2005. i still install on it and it doesnt work. my inbox when create a new account. i can see your mail option but after finish creating. the account doesnt appear and gprs cannot connect anymore after that. hard reset again. i really hope u will release a beta version for me to test. thank you.

hi. you said that wm2005 already support push email but need the exchange server. how to do that? i need to suscribe to who? is it free? thanks

Question about Comm Manager program

Hi there,
There is one icon in the Comm Manager program on my device that does not seem to work and I have no idea what it does. It is the third one from the top on the left hand side.
Tapping it does not do anything. :?

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",

}
Can someone clue me in?

if gprs is connected, you can use that buttong to disconnect from gprs
thats about it!!

Thank you!
The screenshot of the Comm Manager program in my JAMin manual does not show this icon (nor a few of the others), and as I rarely use GPRS I'd never noticed this icon active.
The mystery is solved!

activesync button
Does the activesync button work the same way? - only for disconnecting? Because I can't start activesync from the comm manager.

You are correct, only if Active Sync is connected this button becomes active.

activesync button
Actually, I don't understand how MS thinks... The comm manager should allow us to activate activesync directly.
Personally, I will not go to comm manager to disconnect my activesync as I can do that directly from the actual activesync screen itself. But to start activesync, it'll involve more than a few screen taps depending on how your device is set up. A 1 tap button from comm manager would be very nice...

I totally agree with you. For me, the ideal Comm Manager application would also allow me to set-up a GPRS connection, not only break it off. It would also allow me to turn on and off the infrared and make BT discoverable and non-discoverable with the app. I am glad that MS included more functions in the new Comm manager as compared to the old one without the GPRS, Push Email and Phone radio buttons, but it is still only half of what I want it to do. Hopefully in future releases they will change this. For now I use VJVolubilis, a nice app from Vijay555 that does everything the Comm Manager should be able to do, except for Push Email. VjVolubilis is now my central app for all connection-related issues.

Koksie: I may one day make a GUI for VJVolubilis, although as I've said before, it's actually just a spinoff from VJSihaya.
It should be noted that CommManager is HTC (I think), not MS, since I've got the Mio A701 and that doesn't have anything like CommManager
Of course, VJVolubilis still works on it...
I've not tried PushEmail... if someone tells me the necessary registry settings, I'll build them in. I'll have to see if I can get set up some time... let me find a free push email service.
V

Hi V,
Don't get me wrong, my post was by no means meant to comment on the lack of GUI of VjVolubilis. I am very happy with the app, I put the shortcuts in SPB Plus and in WM5NewMenu and have easy access to all connections now. I don't really need a GUI at all, the set-up I now have is very convenient for me. Of course adding the icons I liked was more difficult, ha ha. A GUI might be nice for other users, but for me it works perfectly like this.
Good point about HTC and MS, I wondered about that.
You can get a free push email account at mail2web.com. I have enabled it and tried it, works perfectly, but I don't have unlimited data yet and don't use it (hotmail is still my most used email. I know, old fashioned, but since everyone I know mails me on it I keep it. Unfortunately no email forwarding, MS has disabled that years ago to my dismay).
edit: If you want a Comm Manager on your A701, use the attached file. it worked well on my Wizard before I upgraded. It is only the old version (4 buttons), I have not been able to find the new one with more possibilities.

Koksie: no problem, I wasn't taking it as an offence about lack of GUI! Merely commenting on future plans.
Offtopic, and as I'm a moderator, feel free to spank me, but:
I've set up a mail2web account, and it works nicely.
However, I may be missing something, since I'm not sure if my Mio has push mail yet and I've never configured it before, but how do I configure push mail with mail2web?
I can see the option to sync when new mail arrives, but that requires a "text messaging address". Does mail2web provide one of those?
V

Hi V,
the text message address is the old push email method I think, in which the provider ( in this case mail2web) sends you the email in sms messages. Your text message address would be your phone number. The MS way of Push email on the new devices is done over GPRS and works like RIM's Blackberry, in which email is pushed by the Exchange Server to your device into your inbox. Push Email is only implemented in the new AKU2.0 ROMs. I don't know if your MIO has such a ROM and if ROM versions for the MIO are available with this feature. On my Wizard, enabling Pusk Email is done through the Comm Manager. I just have to fill in the Mail2web data in the Exchange Server settings in Active Sync and after enabling the push email service in the Comm Manager the service is activated. Hope this info helps you.
greetz, koksie

Koksie - very helpful, thanks! It's as I thought, I don't think the Mio has a push mail rom yet... I'll look into it further.. thanks again.

On Universal Mobile 6 section there is a version for Universal that works perfect on VGA screens
Hope it helps

It's not a Windows Live build April 2009, by looking at the files in the cab I can see that the files are from october 2008.
I think it's about time microsoft gives us a new revamped Live messenger for windows mobile because at the moment the official live messenger for Nokia Symbian S60 created by microsoft is fresher and looks a lot better aswell! Thats a damn shame

HD2 Telstra ROM Tweak - Unlocking Quicklinks Cab

Hi all,
This is for those of us with HD2 devices from Telstra (Australia).
By default the top 3 Quicklinks on the main screen are locked with Telstra shortcuts - Bigpond, Foxtel and Sensis.
After installing this cab and performing a soft reset, you will be able to remove these shortcuts from the menu just like any other link on the homepage.
Enjoy

Bless you!!
Happy Australia Day...you have made mine complete!!

You need to create a new data connection with different settings for Telstra to get exchange sync working. Since we can't modify the existing connection, you need to create a new one and set it as the default.
Follow the instructions below:
http://fxtechtips.blogspot.com/2009/03/how-to-setting-windows-mobile-to-access.html
this is a guide to set up a new Telstra internet connection on WM6.1 but the same procedure applies for the HD2. Quickest way to get to the connections page is Comm Manager > Menu > Connections.
One change to the instructions though. Ignore the proxy setting in step 10. Leave it empty, but still tick the 'This network connects to the Internet' checkbox.
After doing this, try and do a send/recieve with the new connection.
EDIT: Just realised you seem to be in Norway so you may need to set up a new data connection with your carrier settings instead. Either way, set up this connection without a proxy server and it should work.

Thank-you for this... You guys are great... Wish I knew more about this stuff... Thanks again.

Thanks that has saved me having to dig around in the registry, or for a new ROM, at least for now.

If you are still having trouble with Exchange, make sure your Active Sync is set to "Dedicated' and not "Internet". Took me hours to work out why I could check my mail using wifi and not next G!!!

syncing with myphone and setting default/deleting email accounts
i also have a problem with syncing my contacts, tasks and calendar with microsoft myphone.
i can sync other items such as photos and SMS but not the above.
telstra have locked it for some reason.
does anyone know how to unlock this?
also, i want to delete outlook as an email account. when i create new calender items and add attendees it sends them with outlook which i dont use and they sit in the outbox. i have set up another email account which i want to use.
i couldnt see how to delete outlook or set the other as the default.

Thanks for the fix!
What right has telstra got to lock this sort of stuff down!!

Working! ActiveSync with Exchange on Telstra!
Hi All,
I have had a few issues trying to setup a Activesync Connection with and Exchange server (NO Workstation) with a new Telstra locked HTC HD2.
Telstra have locked the device so you have to purchase another "Email Data Plan" to sync with an Exchange Server.
I added all my settings to activesync, And could not connect.
In ActiveSync, click options, select exchange and click settings,your server settings should be here mail.blah.com.au , click next, your username and password are here, click next, BUT DONT CLICK FINISH.
Click options and advanced, Select Internet and not dedicated from the connection list. A telstra warning will display, click yes.
You should now be able to SYNC via the Internet with full Direct push email.

It removes the lock that was placed on these 3 links.
On the home screen, Select 'Menu' -> 'Remove Quick Links'
Select the ones you want to remove and select 'Done'

Sorry for the dumb newbie question, but the cab file to remove the quicklinks is actually a winzip file that contains an XML file and .001 file.
Have I missed something here? I am familiar with how to move a cab file onto my phone and install, but when i copy this file over the phone still thinks it is a zip file...
Thanks,
Roy.
<< Ignore me, have now loaded and removed those links, thanks for the cab file, much appreciated, now I have some quick links that are actually useful >>

Thanks a lot !!!
Many thanks to people who help me to remove Telstra rubbish.
Is it possible to to remove all Telstra apps from programs?

For setting up your hotmail you don't need to use the push email. just go to MESSAGING >> EMAIL SET UP and follow the wizard.

where can I find skyfire and does it easy and wonderful like opera 10 ??
about the push email so there is no solutions ???????
and what about the battery ????????

I plug the cable in the battery and the other end in the wall outlet and 2 hours later it's full

For Hotmail, use Windows Live app. From start menu...
And about the batter; buy a new batter with higher capacity...

HOTMAIL
For configuring your hotmail account follow these steps:
1. Create a new email account.
2. In the email field write your email but replace the "@hotmail.com" with "@hotmail.con", this way the OS is not going to load Windows live messenger to sync your email.
3. Disable the option "Try to get e-mail settings..."
4. Select the email provider, in this case, Internet e-mail.
5. Complete the name and account display name
6. Incoming server: "pop3.live.com:995". Account type: POP3
7. Complete the form with your username and password. Note: the username is your full email address: "[email protected]" and not "yourusername".
8. Outgoing mail server: "smtp.live.com:25". Check the "outgoing server requires au...". Click on Advanced settings and check the "Require SSL..." for incoming ant outgoing e-mail.
9. Complete the rest of the setup.
10. Now, go to your email account and go to Tools > Options, once there, click on the email account you just created and click on "Edit account setup." NOTE: It might make you wait until it syncs 1 time.
11. Replace the "@hotmail.con" with the right one "@hotmail.com" and hit next 'till the end of the setup, and done.
This should work

As far as I am aware, hotmail does not support Push email.
You need an exchange server for this.

You need something like Outlook for push email.

No, outlook is a mail client.
I suggest you read this:

regarding whowing my location weather in home, you need to enable my location.
Go to manila settings and go into "positioning" or something like that, you have to allow google positioning services to check for your location in order for the phone to know where you are and show your weather.

settings menu all settings system location services

For hotmail have a look in the settings menu and set it to sync as items arrive and that works like push email.
either go into the windows live setting menu by pressing start menu, then windows live, then click menu and then options.
Or - follow the email wizard to set up hotmail and it on your email tab in sense. go to the email tab in sense, click 'inbox' then menu, then tools, then options. once in that menu click where it says 'hotmail' (mine has a * next to it as it is my preferred account) you should then be in the windows live settings menu.
so after doing either of those methods to get to this point, Number 3 on the windows live options menu is 'snyc schedule' and make sure it says 'as items arrive.'
hope that helps!

really thank you so much It has been solved

With your battery issue, try lower your screen brightness and kill data connections and all programs when they are not being used.
