I've sort of set up my Hero to my exchange server. I only seem to be able to sync my inbox, no other folders or sub folders. Anybody any ideas ?
Also, I don't seem to get a data connection via wifi. exchange fails, no internet when wifi but fine on H etc ?
Steve
TD2 - on the bench
Hero - hmmmm
If you go into the mail app and then press menu-->more-->settings and change "download past mail" to all. If you then go into a folder with emails and press menu-->refresh it will download the email in that folder.
PS. This is my second hero, on the first all the emails were just there in all the folders but no idea what I did differently. It's possible that the only reason I'm having to press refresh is because the phone hasn't had a chance to download everything already.
Hi H
Tried that, still only does inbox. None of the additional folders or subfolders. Also only syncs via data, won't sync via wifi ? ?
Looks like the TD2's coming back out

Exactly the position I was in and now the Kaiser is back out
Also is it my phone or does it make you do everything on data ? No wonder everyone wants BIG data bundles. The calender doesn't seems as good either. Looks like the TD2 may come back out and O get the Android back.
Steve,
that is exactly how I thought. Everything seemed to need net access. I achieve exactly the same things I need with a current zero data bundle and winmob, yep zero! I have a max per day capped usage.
I sync locally via usb, if net access is needed, the it is controllable, ie, you choose when to log on. On the Hero, it all seems far too integrated and virtually everything you do needs it. So it's either perm wifi or a large data bundle. O got my Hero back.
That section gets a serious thumbs down from me.
Mine syncs with me doing a refresh in the individual folders....
I can't believe there is so little integration with exchange. It only see's the inbox despite lots of refreshes. Its a really disappointing feature.
Gonna give it a day or so then it looks like it's going back - shame.

I have my wife's t mobile mda set up to pull mail from gmail's pop server. Whenever she gets a message, and opens it, it get erased. What is going on? Under the messaging trunk I have it listed as pop.gmail.com, and not under outlook. Is that why it is doing this?
one thing you should know......
I do not have a data plan for this phone. For some reason I am still connected through Edge, and I can use internet explorer to browse the internet. I called T mobile and they say that it is impossible for that to happen and they will not help support anything to do with outlook. I am not sure what is going on. I had to argue with the tmoble tech for a while for him to believe me that I was not connected through a wirless router. (I am not using the email trigger option either) I know one thing though, I am not upgrading the firmware. There seems to be a glitch.
Thanks in advance for any information you can give me. Every little bit of experience helps. I just want these emails to stay in the phone for her to reference later.

yeah you are not the only one getting this internet, majority of T mobile customers are getting this and using it for everything. no need to complain or ask tmobile about it...but not back to your e-mail problem, i have the same problem as i use Gmail on my device through this free internet(which has nothing to do with the problem bytheway)...this is what i do so it wont erase the e-mail, make a new folder and every time you open a message, move it into the other folder, and the e-mail will remain until you delete it.
... to access their work mails on your phone?
If so, have you had the same problem. You can get in and see the mails in the inbox, but...... when you're on a PC accessing from outside, you have to double click on the emails to open, On the Hero, double clicking just brings it bigger and smaller, the trackball clicks don't work on it either. Has anyone found a way round this yet? Very frustrating not being able to open them but see that they are there.
Do you mean OWA?
No, it's a webmail service provided by your site server to access when you're not on Outlook at homebase?
so it doesn't look like this interface?
No, I wish it did! That looks like one that would work!
Can you help me with Outlook, I've tried to set it up as an POP/IMAP on my phone, and i've ticked, leave messages on server, Do I have to do that so my phone will get them OK? Or does that not matter?
Also, What does the Download options mean, the 'by days' 3, 7, 14, etc....? Does that mean they will disappear after 3 days from phone if set to 3?
Anyone else notice the notification sound cuts off for emails? And trying to cut and paste my sig, but only ever takes a section can't copy whole section.
Thanks for help
Hi there everyone
I have this issue setting up my Leo for the direct push.
The good news is ,I did setup the hotmail account as well the outlook for the "as it arrive " for the direct push and I found it that amazingly the hotmail arrive to my phone like in a fraction of a second "super fast" and that the outlook take a little while " I'm not complaining as long as it arrive" the only thing that it only push e-mails when I'm on the Wi-Fi connection.
However, when I try switching off the Wi-Fi no Push?!...... So what went wrong?, any ides, or anyone have better solution. Though when I do "physically" ActiveSync the outlook do receive the new e-mails. It looks like the phone doesn't sense the new e-mail.
Other thing dose anyone know how to receive push e-mails as well from Gmail and yahoo??
Thanks a lot
any help plz guys
I am interested in this too, my Gmail syncs fine. But Hotmail only works if i manually sync it when on 3G. It's greyed out in the email accounts section so i can't alter the settings.
The email setup is a bit of a black art to me on here. Maybe i should read the 310 page PDF manual.

The thing that I found a round-over solution for it by using a 3rd part application "Seven or emozeMail" to add ur e-mail account and it will do the trick for you!
However, this is not a really push serve from WM, I was looking for something without the use of the 3rd party app. Again, the hotmail as well the outlook do push when it is only on Wi-Fi!!! But not in the SIM net connection
By the way how did you set ur Gmail to act as push e-mail?
Best luck
no answer!!!
up...up...up i really need helop!!!
Stupid question - you do have Direct Push on under comm manager I guess?
have you tried turning it off rebooting then back on again
Have you tried performing the intial setup/sync over 3G and not Wifi?
I just set mine up using 3G and did nothing special and it syncs using 3G fine from Hotmail.
I didn't do anything special, so can't tell you how to magically sort it. Sorry.

If you want 'push' e-mail then it'll have to maintain a connection - either 3G or Wifi. It won't connect when an e-mail is received then disconnect once it's downloaded, it requires a constant connection for the device to receive the e-mail immediately

It's best not to use push e-mail unless you have an unlimited data plan! I'm not sure what you're asking: do you want to know how to set up an sync schedule? In the Windows Live options you can specify a 'sync sechdule' frequency, anywhere from every 15 minutes to four hours. You can do the same for an exchange/activesync account.

thankx alot for ur help. what i was trying to say that when i compare better the two methods ( the Data connection Vs Sechdule one) for me the data connection will be very costly !..what i was thinking of that if there is like a way to disconnecte the Data after it have pushed the e-mail
Actually, push won't increase your data usage. it may well decrease it.
Good point actually, just being connected won't cost anything without data transfer. Cheaper than repeatedly refreshing your inbox.

It should be so, that's why it's usually charged by the megabyte.
ok, I've used the search button, found lots of stuff but not what I wanted or unclear. This is what I want: I want my mails from my gmail adress to be pushed to my HTC HD2. I want them to wake up the device and tell me, I have a mail ( like a text basically )
What do I do, what do I set up, I've tried turning on push, but it seems to be turning itself off or something, it doesn't look on when I go to the manager. If anybody can help me, that would be great. Ow, and we're talking 3G or edge, gprs, not wifi here.

There's no push feature that I know of, you set how ofter to check for new email, and in notifications you set how to let you know that you have new email.

Completely wrong.
kilrah is spot on, and it works extremely well. The only thing I would add is that it does add to battery drain, so I would disable it at night and other times it is not required. G-profile can be used for this. By the way, it will not work if you are connected to a computer using Activesync, and that computer does not allow connection to the internet (most work networks are set up this way).
so does this keep the internetconnection open all of the time, even when the phone is asleep? I suppose so?
I'm asking that because, when I put the settings on send and receive every 5 minutes, it appears as if the connection stays on after the first send and receive ( for instance, I check pxInternet and it has been connected for 40min ) and yeah, if that were to be the case, why not use push.
thx for the help so far, really, great and to the point.

Yes of course, otherwise the server would have no way to tell the phone there's something new for it. If you close the data connection in the connection manager it will warn you this also deactivates push.
I've found the idle data usage and battery drain is minimal (at least on 3G). Push on for one night drained 8% battery, which is pretty much the same as without it (~6%). Data usage was under 100kB, and I received 2 mails during the night. Makes great savings, as doing a send/receive on my IMAP account easily uses around 200kB, which would happen every 5 mins or whatever is set for automatic checking, and by extension less traffic = less battery usage...
EDGE might use more battery as there are more keepalive signals.
I agree with Kilrah, I have my calendar, contact and email all synced through google and i don't notice any obvious battery drain compared to when push is turned off.
I use ActiveSync to sync my Gmail account and the push works fine.

Because Google Sync works via ActiveSync, you can adjust the settings for ActiveSync (e.g. only during peak times). So no need to use G-profile.
PUSH mail is avalaible on GMail with HD2. Look here : http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?answer=138636&topic=14299
can you synch/push more than 1 gmail account with this method?

How do you do that please?
As well as the battery/data aspect I would rather not have my sleep disturbed by the "bings" of new emails!
In activesync, menu -> scheduling.

ActiveSync > Menu > Schedule. And just set Off-peak times to Manually so you won't be disturbed when sleeping
At the bottom click on: "Adjust peak times to fit your schedule"
Sleep well
Thanks Guys!
I have set that up to push my main Gmail account and am using Gudusoft email scheduler to check the other one every 30mins.
Let's see how will it works now!
Sync issues
Anyone having any issues sync'ing with calender.
For some reason the only way I can sync at all is with that one disabled.
Currently I'm only using push with email and contacts only since the other won't work.
Can't believe I didn't know that google offered this service now...yes I just found out today reading this forum...
Been waiting too long for this...
Hello, I have some problems with gmail...
When HD2 turns off (standby), it doesn't sync my emails (haven't tried contacts or calendar yet). When I go to activesync to check what happened there are 2 possibilities:
1) If I am home (wifi always on even in standby mode) I get an error (0x80004004). Btw even with wifi on it still keeps the data connection on (?!?!?)
2) If wifi is off it starts syncing when I open activesync.
Any help would be appreciated
EDIT: Seems like there is no problem when wifi is off after all. I guess having wifi always enabled is a problem because it automatically disables 3g...
i want to share my cheap way of getting my emails from Gmail on my phone
via MMS !! so since I am on TMobile (i dont know if it works for other carriers..a simple google search shall do )
so basically i forward all my emails to the email id
[email protected][B]tmomail.net[/B]
where phonenumber = your 10 digit number...
so lets say my phone number is 1-212-000-5000
all i do is forward my gmail to [email protected] and presto !!
everytime i get an email it notifies me...and since i have unlimited messaging (MMS is free too) the messages shows completely !!!

first try sending a test mail from ur gmail a/c to yourself and if it doesnt work try adding '1" in front of your number ! hope it works for you too...
i own the hd2 t-mobile usa version
so like all of you, i was frustrated that deleting a gmail off of the hd2 (when set up via imap which is automatic from the normal gui setup) didn't work.
in searching these forms i saw that many of you have set it up via activesync. this is my first smartphone and due to my ignoance, i couldn't figure that out. i have outlook via activesync which works great, but can't figure out how to setup another e-mail address via activesync. i saw this page google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?answer=138636&topic=14299via another thread here, but when i go to active sync on the hd2, all the setup options are greyed out. (if anyone could help me here, I would appreciate it)
anyway... so i decided to press on and found this. when you have the gmail inbox open and you go to menu - tools - options - gmail - edit account setup - 6 screens over - advanced settings (really!?!? i mean really!?!?) there's a drop down that has two options:
1. move them to server trash
2. delete them off server
the default was set to "move them to server trash." i changed it to "delete them off server." i then sent myself an email, deleted it on the hd2, and unfortunately it came back when i hit send/retreive.
knowing that didn't work, i went back to the above setting and put it back to the default "move them to server trash." when i tried it again, it worked. i've done three test e-mails to verify and it works fine -- every time i delete off of hd2, they don't come back (and they are in the trash folder on gamil server).
oh the whoes of smartphones... hope this works for you. (here's 3 hours of my time i'll never get back) good luck everyone and let me know.
Awesome dude! Many thanks for this, It was always a pain to receive emails at work, delete them, to onyl get home and have them come back down in Outlook!
ok well here's an update. it apprears there's a bug in the sence gui. if you delete the email from the sence gui (menu - delete message), the email comes back.
however, if you delete from the gmail inbox (select inbox on gui -- lower left, select the email you want to delete, press delete and you get a confirmation window), it will also delete from the gmail server (move to trash folder).
can someone else verify this?
Yea, same issue here. If I delete from Sense UI, it comes back when I press send/receive. Deleting from the inbox is the only way i can get things to delete properly.
Strange thing you're talking about, until now I never encountered this issue, mails never come back after I deleted them from My HD2.
I upgrade the ROM very often and never had this issue (stock roms, Dutty's ones and now Topix ones)...
