Windows Live Mobile Push Mail

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?

WM 6.5 0x80070057 Email Sync!

Hi,
I upgraded my trinity to wm 6.5 by PDAVIET and i have a problem to sync mail to my exchange server. First time i managed to sync my mail then it stoped and i'm getting error code 0x80070057 any idea?
Thanks
TeT

Same problem with Chanvi's WM6.5
So I am not the only one with this message...
No idea what it is, or how to resolve it, but i've got the same problem with sync to an exchange server, using another rom.
Probably it is something to do with MS buggy Active Sync.
Sorry, no knowledge how to resolve it... Just letting you know you are not the only one reporting it, and it is a bug in the OS as it shows on at least another WM6.5 cooked rom.

In normal activesync'ing through USB - i have read you untick all the options to sync and retick them one by one after that.
Do you want to give that a shot?
I had this problem after fully syncing once. So i read somewhere, untick all the options (Calendar, email, etc) and retick them one by one.
I dont know why, but it worked for me. So maybe give that a whirl?

Hi,
Doing this fixed it for a little while - receiving emails worked ok.
However, as soon as I tried to send/reply to an email, it went back to the same fault.

Updated a prophet to wm6.5 also get 0x80070057
Is there a sollid solution for this error yet?:confused

Same error on Samsung Omnia
Hi All... just wanted to chime in here, even though I use a Samsung Omnia. Having installed a custom 6.5 rom I'm getting the same error, so would presume it is a bug within the 6.5 build rather than any specific rom. I've seen it reported elsewhere on xda-developers that it appears to only affect those of us syncing with Ex2003 - Ex2007 seems to be OK.
Mike

Ex2007 seems to be OK
'Ex2007 seems to be OK' bu I only sinc with my local outlook acc. and the issue only happens when I try to sync subfolders and/or attachments. Hope there's a solution somewhere soon.

i have had this issue with 6.1 and 6.5 roms...
If i sync with wifi or USB or HSDPA i always get this error.
There is only i thing that bugs me.. the very very very first time that i sync everything works like a charm, the second time sync stops..
unchecking mail seems to work, , but i want my mail..
I found some site on this issue but i lost the url.. it was a MS site stating that is was seemed to be some issue on using exchange and sharepoint..
i am trying to fnd it.. but this really s*cks..

Hi All,
I am not sure if you already have an answer for this but this is what i did which resolved the similar problem for me. Sounds Easy!!
1 - uncheck all (emails,contacts,calendar etc) from options
2- save the uncheck.
3 - go back and check back again but only your calendar and save it and hit sync. Once this is done, check another one and sync and then another and sync and Hopefully this should resolve the issue for everyone who is getting an error for 0x80070057.
Please Note : check one and Sync. checking all and syncing would pop up an error again.

I just tried this, now my Activesync is not showing the error, it's not showing the error anymore, but it's not syncing either, i tried seding out a test email and it stayed in the outbox, even after syncing.

Nevermind, the error is still there.. see screenie.

I tried multiple 6.5 roms and had the same issue. I went to 6.0 and was fine and then tried 6.1 and was able to get 6.1 to work fine (using MobileVista v1.1 on my Kaiser (AT&T Tilt))

I just installed the newest build 21202 from itje on my Xperia X1a and I can confirm that this is no longer an issue in this release.

push gmail problems?

Hi!
I was trying to use push gmail but I only got an error
0x8600050c
I can sync contacts and calendar, but no emails, if I check the email, then i got that error.
Someone else is in the same situation?

Same error here... Anyone got solutions?
I've reset the phone, input the settings multiple times (I'm sure they're correct), checked that my carriers default internet access isn't set via proxy, turned off/on POP on my Gmail settings....

A couple of pointers to look out for:
-You want to make sure you're only trying to sync Calendar, Contacts & Email. DON'T try and sync Tasks or Texts cos they don't work (yet hopefully).
-Make sure the username you're using is <myname>@gmail.com not @googlemail.com like the tutorial used to say.
-If it stops syncing after a few weeks of use. Sometimes you just have to do a manual sync by going into connection manager and hitting the Sync button and sometimes the only way to solve it seems to be just delete the whole Exchange profile for googlesync and set it up again from scratch.
Hope one of these is going to solve your problem cos I'm all out of ideas. Works fine on my WinMo6.5 device.

Yup, I was aware of both the @gmail and restriction to Cal/Contacts/Email, neither of those are my problem.

Mine is syncing using @googlemail.com but it does not work when doing send/receive for my folders which is annoying as I don't want to keep on syncing hundred's of folders each time I get a new mail.

also youc ant have a "/" in any of your gmail labels (which are often autmoatically created when you imap your gmail on your desktop i.e. Inbox/ebay Inbox/work etc

Same problem here...
I have the same problem and the same error code.
Tried to sync my phone for the first time yesterday and spent the better part of the night troubleshooting why I was getting the 0x8600050c error code... Tried all the possible fixes including making sure Tasks are deselected, Syncing only Contacts & Calendar, no '/'s in labels etc....
However, now I realise that after browsing the google help forums that a lot of people seem to be having this problem in the last 24-32 hours. Quite a few recent messages have been posted on this.
It seems like Google Sync push has been erratic ever since it was released. They fixed the problems in the middle, but it seems that they are back now. You would hope that a firm with the resources like Google would atleast put a status page updating users of outages...
If someone figures out a solution to this problem please post...!
Phone: HTC Touch Pro2
OS: Winmo 6.5

Same problem for me here!

I'm sorry (I'm not rubbing it in honest ) but my GMail has been working perfectly for the last couple of weeks. So maybe it's just newly set up accounts?

For those that have gmail working via activesync, how quick is it? when a message arrives on your desktop how much later does it take to arrive on your phone. I am seeing some delayed responses and having moved from Blackberry back to WM its not good.

I have it running over HSDPA (3G) with exchange server and it arrives on my phone before it gets to my desktop pc.

I know its been done and said, but would you mind doing a checklist on what settings you have got working for you?
On Gmail do you have POP3 enabled and IMAP enable or one on and the other off.

i've been having the same issue - calendar and contacts fine, but i can't sync mail.
i know it isn't the settings / labels issues mentioned here as I have it syncing fine on my kaiser...

Hmm. OK think we got crossed wires there. I thougth we were talking about GMail syncing in general. I was talking about my Tinity. Now I have the HD2 setup, it's not working for mail ether.
Same as everyone else, I have contacts and calendar working but no mail. It will get the mail if I set it up as a normal mail account but not with the syncing push type exchange account I can't see any errors, it's just not getting the mail

The thing is I get my mail, but just slow. I am not syncing contacts or anything else.

Sympathize with you Chimpsinties

Found a hash in one of my labels, deleted it resynced and it seems things are moving ok. Let see how it goes

hmmm. no hashes in any labels (i never imported / synced) from outlook. but still no joy...

same problem on my td2.
syncing of calendar and contacts works fine. but no mail.
funny thing is when i set it up the last weekend it all worked perfectly for about two days and suddenly error 0x8600050c.
i played arond a lot with googleapps after the setup and i thought this might be the reason it s not working any more.
so here is a list of things i tried to get it working again, well, still without success:
- looked for hashes in my labels (never had any though)
- deleted all labels
- change language from german to english and back
- deleted the tasks from my tasklist in gmail/calendar
- changed my password to alphabetical characters only
- registered a new gmail account without any changes
- changed the mail folder of gmail in wdmc that should be synced
some things that surely wouldnt help since it seems to be a google issue but i was desperate
- reinstalled wmdc
- flashed different roms
but damn it s still not working again. *sigh* gotta switch to windows-live if they dont get this fixed.

Hmm I think the problem with the gmail sync makes the rom of the hd2 itself because I also have a Touch Pro 2 and a Toshiba TG01 and on both of them its working fine so I try to import the active sync files and if it will work after that I´ll tell you!

Setting up hotmail difficult

I have tried to set up hotmail on my HD2 as per HTC website instructions
http://www.htc.com/uk/howto.aspx?p_id=297&id=168&page=2
Only stage 5 doesn't appear on my phone and when I have finished I never receive mail to this account even though I know my PC account is receiving mail. What do I do?

Are you sure you're entering your hotmail address correctly? HD2 should pick up on a hotmail or live address. What domain is your address at? If it's a different address set up for a passport it may not work

i think you should try thewindows live application from the marketplace. once you have it, you can sync mail...and probably.conracts too.

having the similar problem... my account is hotmail.co.uk and when i try to setup it says either pass or id is incorrect but i am 100% sure that pass is correct...is it something to do with .co.uk
help please!!!
thanks

As mentioned by tshizzle - use Windows Live. It automatically sets up your hotmail account when you set that up.
It should be on your phone already, but there's a newer version on the Marketplace.

it dosnt work there either...same problem for me atleast

I hate to say this, but you must be entering the information incorrectly.
After entering the information in step 4, can you take a screenshot (use BsB Tweaks if you don't know how to do this), and upload it for us to check for you.
It works for everyone else, so it must be something you're doing.

Hotmail
Can get my .com to sync, but not my .co.uk. Maybe its .uk that as a problem.

I just added a hotmail.co.uk account and it worked for me. Strange problem this is.

Hi Timax. I think I know what your problem is. I noticed you are with Tmobile, so am I and I kept running up against the problem where it gets stuck at stage 4 of 5! Very annoying. Apparently it's because Tmobile diverts the service via their proxy server. Follow the instructions in the thread below on post #2 and it should be fixed!

what is the incoming/outgoing mail server have you used...what do you put under these boxes?

My hotmail was set up through LIVE and my inbos is just not being updated, unlike my gmail and outlook ones. I know this becuase I just checked my hotmail account on the computer and I have 3 new emails and this has not been updated on the phone. However when I press send/receive on the phone it does sownload the new emails. Anyone know a way of sorting this out, it's annoying having to do it manually everytime!

johncmolyneux you rock i had been banging my head for days trying to get my hotmail to work, and the answer was right under my nose. i just needed to update to the new windows live app. man i feel like a dumbass for not going back to basics before jumping into all the other stuff. Thanks a Million bro!!!

I have to agree that it's very hard to make hotmail account working properly, while Gmail, Yahoo! mail work fine.
I've tried so many times and everytime it behaves differently. Once it went through all the mails and get the first mail(many years ago) then stopped working. Once I setup through Windows live, it took me to the Windows Live web page then stopped at there...very frustrated...
Now, at last, it works like a charm--but I have no idea how I did it since I've done so many times, each time is a little different and I am totally confused...

The HD2 hotmail problem

First off all: I checked this website (heck! I checked half the internet) and I didn't find a solution to my problem.
Now, what is my problem?
When I first got the HD2 I really wanted to get my hotmail account on my phone.
Now there is a tab under email called "hotmail1".
I can't delete it (it's greyed out), I can't open it, I can't do anything with it!
I already read that unsyncing your windows live account with your emailaddress would help, but nothing. Also, when I want to make a new hotmail account it just transfers me to "windows.live.com"
(I also tried using a fake email and then changing it to hotmail afterwards, didnt help, I got transfered to windows.live.com)
sorry if some of the menunames are wrong, my phone is dutch

Hi
I have exactly the same problem but it doesnt look like other people have come across this problem to find a solution.
I have set up my phone exactly the way I like it, its working fantastic. I dont want to resort to a hard reset

Exactly!
I have all my programs, preferances and hotfixes in just the way I want them. I'd hate to do all that again just for hotmail.

I can't help you get rid of any dodgy accounts that you've already set up, but I can tell you how to set up a hotmail account correctly.
Run Windows Live in your start menu and enter your hotmail account details in there. That will automatically create an email account on the phone for you, and will even give you the ability of push email. It's pointless trying to manually set up a hotmail account, unless you want more than 1. If you do then you need to read tip #43 in this thread...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=583638
As for getting rid of the problematic accounts they you've already created, I'm sure someone on here will be able to help you rid yourselves of them

The funny thing is that trying to create a (new) account with windows live just redirects me to the mobile.live.com site

Yep, same problem here, just redirects to the website.
If I try to create another hotmail account with the same details, it wont allow me to saying ' you've got another email account with the same name'!!!!
Annoying!!

It is probably because you are using (or have used) My Phone or Windows Live on the phone to connect to hotmail.
The way I do it is through Windows Live. So go to Marketplace and make sure that you have the latest Windows live app, then sign in to your account from there.

Tried it and failed
Still a greyed out hotmail1 (non functional)
When I want to send a new message, I can only choose "add a new email address" or another emailaddress (my studentmail).
THat's probably not how it's called on the english rom, but it comes close to the dutch translation

I got mine fixed when i signed in on my computer's browser with my hotmail account. Then i tap send/receive on the phone and it connected to the server... not really sure if this is a fixed? but it did fix my gray thing.

Is there a way to completely uninstall msn messenger on your mobile phone?
I hope that might work

If you set up your hotmail thru windows live, you have to change the setting thru windows live also. I had the same problem as you. I was not able to delete hotmail account thru the regular email setup. Then I remember windows live, so I went in there. I choose the option to switch to another windows live account. It will then asked for your credential. Hit cancel and voila.. my hotmail account is gone.

I had this too, I set up my hotmail account via the introduction screen when you boot your HD2 for the first time. Then, I tried to set up my hotmail via Windows Live. When syncing with my pc, which collects hotmail in Outlook, I got a third Hotmail account, all non-functional (actually only syncing via wifi actually, to make it weirder). I decided to hard reset.
The proper way to setup Hotmail is via the Windows Live application, you can't set it up via Outlook (mobile or from your pc). Ang_rudy's solution might work, the other solution is hard resetting, which is far from optimal of course.

can any1 help i have had the HD2 for 2 days, i havent been able to set up hotmail account, but i also cant access my facebook either. i really dnt want to take it back but i have got clue how to resolve these issues.
