Check for new mail

Is there an add-on or a tweak where i can set times when it should check for mail
On my treo i could set it so it would only check for mail every 15mins between 19:00 and 08:00
Cheers

No you can't you can only set it to check every x minutes.
I am looking into buying a different mail client for my S100 as the one that comes with windows is crap.
I used to have profimail on my P910i which was great as it allowed a lot more confirguration and also HTML emails.

Cheers
Let me know when you get a decent mail app. All the one i've tried have been shtt

WebIS Mail is Great.

WebISmail is something I have just downloaded to try out. Will give it a go and let you know

don't think it lets you do this

if this can help you there is something under "Mobile Sync Schedule" that includes even peak times and roaming.
I'm using it daily but with an Exchange sync, don't know if you can do the same with a pop3

WebIS mail
Been trialing WebIS mail for a few days now and very impressed by it. Configuration is pretty good as far as mail accounts and sync times and just to have true HTML incoming mail is brilliant.
Pity you don't have HTML outgoing but we can't ask for the world.
I have it installed on my SD card and its a little slow but seems to take up quite a bit of space. Pity really that you can't uninstall the pre-installed clients and replace them with the better products. :lol:

i've been having problem with downloading emails. when i mark one or two for download, then i click on the send and recieve button, on the bottom right this blue status bar kinda thingy appears and to the left of it theres a 1/25 does it mean its trying to download 25 emails? and then after a good 2 or 3 minutes it gives up, giving me some error. i thing i'm gonna swith to profimail cuz i used to use that on all my other S60 phones and i'm satisfied with it.

I'm sure it won't be hard for a decent programmer make a lil addon.
Phone Alarm has something like that where you can set the times for peak and off peak calls etc.
Any decent programmer about??

From what I can see of WebIS mail it says 1/25 but its only checking against the server what it has already downloaded. So it maybe that's it already downloaded the 25 mails on the server it just has to check first.
So far no problems with WebIS mail and very impressed by moving mail directories. I have been deciding where to store the software and so moving direcrtories is a breeze.

Hotmail notification

Hi guys!
Nice skille community you've got here, I'm still browsing through all your previous posts, but I can't wait to ask you this:
I have long been looking for a solution (tweak or software) that would allow me to schedule an automated send/receive on my Hotmail account just the way it works on my regular POP accounts.
Any hints?
So far, I have kept MSN Messenger always on, which allows real-time e-mails reception. But I don't really like this workarround as it drains both my battery and my monthly data transfer allowance (don't know the word for that...).
However, if you were to tell me that this is indeed the only workarround, I would appreciate the answer to this: what are the parameters that would make my Wizard ring or vibrate, depending on which mode it's in, upon reception of a Hotmail e-mail? It does that just fine for POP accounts, but not for Hotmail (although it keeps vibrating whenenver someone pops online on MSN Messenger, which is a pain in the a..).
Well that's it for now, I truely hope you guys can help me out!
Thanks!

I truely wish this was a feature as well. I would love at the very least to be able to set a Hotmail retreival schedule. One of my biggest complaints!

There are several programs to check your Hotmail automatically:
e.g
PocketHotmail:
http://www.frieger.com/photmail/beta.html
HTTPMail Provider:
http://www.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=9539

Well I paid and downloaded HTTP Mail.
At first it seemed I had found the solution I was looking for BUT the data consumption is simply enormous.
Your average send/receive with the regular Hotmail account (the one that cannot be automatically retrieved) uses 1,12 kb when there is no new mail.
Now, the same operation, still with no new message, consistantly uses more than 700 kb! That's basically horrific...
So back to square one, but 10€ lighter :evil: !
Still, thanks very much for trying to help! But this really isn't a good solution...
Again, if anyone has another idea, please share ;-)!

I put this Pocke MSN wish list togther a while ago:
i) Allow proper notifications when new email arrives. i.e. Sound and vibrate, not just the a number of unread in the little a blue circle on the hotmail icon..
ii) Allow email to be sent immediately instead of having to got to "send and receive" each time.
iii) Allow me to send email attachments > 300K (or whatever the ridiculously small limit is).
iv) Auto sign-in for Messenger. Every time I loose my GPRS connection I have to remember to go back into messenger and sign-in again.

Live Messenger
Up.
I learnt yesterday about the new live messenger and its push capabilities. Needless to say, I was pretty excited to finally have a reliable solution for receiving my Hotmail e-mails immediatly and being notified.
I installed the latest, seemingly non-beta version of Live messenger and began testing it.
Well I was quite disapointed, but maybe (hopefully) I am missing something.
First, the push capability (sync setting on "as item arrives") comes nowhere near a Blackberry or Emoze solution. Well sometimes it does, but in average reception needed about two minutes. Not as fast as I had hoped, but I can live with that.
The main problem, however, is that they seem to have done it again :- I cannot get any notification working. The screen turns from "0 new e-mail" to "1 new e-mail" without any notification being triggered. I played arround with the settings for quite a while but have not been able to find a solution; searching the forum was just as vain.
Anyone any idea? Am I missing something here? No idea it is relevant, but I'm running an AKU1 version of WM5.
Thanks a lot for your help guys!

Recomendations for Best IM client?

Hi, first, before anyone jumps on me for not searching existing threads, I did but found that there were a bunch of old and possibly outdated ones as well as many which only talked about one client.
I'm wondering if anyone can recommend a multi-protocol IM client for the Touch 2 or if any of them stand out as being clearly superior to others.
I'd like an IM client that offers always-on support for major networks (AIM, Yahoo IM, Windows Live, Google Talk, ICQ, Jabber etc), is not buggy, has good features and so on. If it can do other things like send files or even start an audio or video chat, that would be great, but is not necessarily that important.
I'd be more than willing to pay for it if a payware client stands out as being supperior to the freeware clients out there.
The ones I'm aware of are:
Mundu - I've tried it, it's okay. It's payware, but seems to work descently, although it gives a lot of alert messages I don't want, like every time it gets disconnected. I wish it would just reconnect on its own and not bother me about it.
IM+ (haven't tried it)
Octrotalk
Nimbuzz
Agile Messenger
BeeJive
Palringo
fring
talkanaut
Fring
Slick
Webmessenger
Any recommendations? Are any of these stand-outs?

Since I'm not anal like others, I'll answer ya. I use Palringo, works perfectly on the Tilt 2. Nimbuzz is okay, I just like Palringo better personally.

Palringo rocks but Fring is nice with the VoIP/Skype integration.

iPhone-ish sms app
has anyone seen an SMS app that has a similiar UI/functionality to the one that's on the iPhone?

Hey brotha, My choice of IM client for the TP2 would be Palringo. Its pretty sweet and I love that you can send pictures through there aswell. Anyways PEACE BROTHA!

I 2nd Palringo... I"m sure once 2.5 comes out for Win mobile it'll be even sweeter.

Bejieve and Live messenger are quite ok for me

BeeJive gets my vote its very quick, I find others to be very slow

+1 for Palringo

I've tried a few of these and their all pretty good, but my biggest worry is that the ones I've tried are hosted by some unknown company. Not a big issue for chat, but if I send a photo to someone how secure is that on their servers? I stick to Live messenger; it may not be the best, but at least you know Microsoft is pretty secure.

BeeJive user here, love it.

Palringo and its not even close.
I've used almost all the other ones.... Palringo blows them away.

I used Parlingo, and while it was cool, it drained the hell out of my battery because it was ALWAYS connected.
I don't really use IM too much on my phone, the only reason I used it was to contact someone who can't receive texts at work. When I closed it, I was frustrated to find it was still open.
I had to close it via the task manager.
If you want something that is connected 24/7, it's great!

Palringo worked like a charm in mine, BUT from some time an on it does not show all my MSN contacts. I have literaly tried every single thing there is but with no use. I have even downloaded the PC version and again the same thing.. Does anyone have a solution or even encountered something similirar? I really liked that IM mainly because it permits me to chat while "appearing offline" which I find very useful. Or mybe suggest another client with the same feature?
The other one i liked was Beejive which i use on Ipod touch, BUT it keeps crashing my device every time, so it's a bummer for me.
Now I stick with Slick, pretty decent with the feature I mentioned above, the only drawback is that it doesn't have a FB chat support.

Honestly I have not had battery issues which would be a major concern of mine. I used beejive a while back and I thought that was an issue with beejive
Some of it may depend on the version of palringo that was used as I believe they made inprovements but I have used palringo for about a year now and I've had it run in the background with very little impact to my battery life.

Hey hani1,
It is not staying connected all the time, you can adjust it in the settings if you like to close it or keep it active. Its the best one there is, meaning lots of protocols, including facebook...
Give that a try

oh so i can make it not run in background? meaning when i exit the program, the process is ended? if thats the case, then i will definitley use it. i just dont like things running in background.

I'm using Beejive here whenever I've to contact someone I can't reach otherwise, it's pretty sweet and fast.
Most of all, I love that the Passwords (MSN, etc) are stored locally and not on some remote server.

the best client imo is Aimtxt which is aim thru text msg it doesnt use battery like other programs...just text 246246

[Q] WANTED: eMail Rules/filters for poutlook

Hey all.
I have tried Flexmail and found it wanting - I think mine had issues, activesync failed to sync to directory and the rules were quite limited. Still waiting for their support teams to sort out several issues with move and stuff. even if they can get it working I can't see it being good enough in it's control.
So we are back to poutlook and it's limited functionality.
Are there any decent programs out there for message filtering. I get 300+ emails per day and over 150 are total rubbish 50 are newsletters and notifications which I file.
and half a dozen orders buried in this lot that I NEED to deal with immediately.
any suggestion please
Cheers
G

Well - I don't know if this will work for you, but I have all my email come through my Yahoo account. On the server side, I have about 60 rules/filters set up. This way, on my inbox on my phone, I already get them filtered. I have been using Yahoo for years and now-a-days I get a spam email in my inbox about twice a year. If you have not set up a web based account yet, I would actually suggest gmail for the push capabilities. But I don't know how their filters or spam protection work.
Just as an aside, I used to use FlexMail and most of the time when I could not get something working, it was my fault. It is a very powerful application. I finally decided it was too powerful for my needs on my cell and switched to ProfiMail. You might want to check out their rules/filters. I don't use the filters on the phone, so I can't help you there, but it is a pleasure to use.

[Q] What happened to my exchange mail account?

Twice now I have had the mail portion of my exchange account just disappear from my phone. My calendar and contacts are still setup and sync just fine, but if I hit the email button it starts the email setup wizard. Anyone else seeing this? It happened this weekend while I was on the road driving and I just chalked it up to me fat fingering something, but it just happened again while I was in a meeting and my phone was in my office, no fat fingers were near it. I am using the built in exchange support, no add ons (touchdown or the like).

I have had the EXACT same issue. Twice. Once Saturday morning is was gone and then this morning it was gone. My first step is going to be a hard reset and test it for a week without rooting.
Was yours rooted by chance?

I had the same problem. It was driving me nuts because it was causing even further battery drain. I've switched to Touchdown and it's been working great so far.

I have not rooted my phone yet.

Not to highjack my own thread, but do you like touchdown? I installed the demo and didn't see what it would gain me over the built in apps. Is there a comparison someplace? Can you make it replace the default apps so that mailto: links and things like that work properly?

I just tried Touchdown and hated it. It feels like a pocket pc 2003 program (ugly and clunky).

I had the same thing happen to me twice today. It removed two exhange and one IMAP account. Really frustrating. I am not rooted since at this point I haven't seen much to root for. Once recovery, roms, and Verizon roaming are available, I will look to root.
This is just another nail slowly going into the coffin of this phone for me (battery life, build quality, terrible calendar, poor email - no cut and paste, internet link click, etc., poor base widgets). I already had to exchange my first phone since the capacitive keys were terrible. I still have plenty of time to decide on this phone, but right now, I am leaning towards returning it. Sorry to hijack the thread with my mini rant.

This has happened to me twice so far.
No root.

If you don't like touchdown you can try k-9... its free

I am a Touchdown user that loves it. Powerful application that makes my Epic my office when I am out of the office.

I'm only on day 5 of the 30 day free trial and so far so good. It has not exhibited the same disappearing inbox problem of the built in app and it has a better integration of mail and calendar. So far, the only complaint I have is a nit, I'm not crazy about how the agenda shows overlapping meetings, but I can get over that and at least the meeting notices let me click on the phone number to call (the default app does not even have that ability). Overall, it is MUCH more customizable, integrated and configurable than the default apps. So far I'm leaning toward buying it, but will go thru another full work week first to be sure.
