Hi All,
Can anyone using the mail2web personal exchange push email service tell me what its like.
I use AOL email IMAP4, and dont want to change my email address.
So does it work??
Does it display in your in box the correct senders address that I can hit reply and it still work.
Does it take a copy from my AOL account and place that copy into the mail2web exchange account?? therefore allowing me to continue using my aol email online not the mail2web account.
Any information quirks etc would be much appreciated.
Yes. I am using it with Gmail at the moment and it works perfectly. If you use the email agregator settings then Reply button works fine. However, this feature does not work with all Email providers. If it doesn't work then you can set your AOL, etc email to forward all messages to your mail2web account. Pressing the reply button may or may not work in this case depending on how your email provider forwards messages

my views on this are complex
first mail2web is a very good service, and can be used free so its difficult to complain. The push email works very well. There are a few things you need to know:
1. Only sends emails using your mail2web.com account (i.e. can not send using you current email address, like 4smartphone.net can)
2. pop3/IMAP scan is only done once an hour. Better to fwd email, as the user above says, however then you don't have the benefit of SPAM scan on you host email (e.g. if yahoo). mail2web has SPAM scan but I think yahoo's is best
If you want a more professional service, 15min pickip on pop3/IMAP pull or sending out emails with you other email address mask then you need to pay $3.99 a month for 4smartphone.net.
If you are completely nuts, have loads of cash, are a control freak and have a broadband connection at home, you could buy a Windows Server, Exchange 2003 and setup your own push service :twisted:
Hi
Anyone knows other Free e-mail Push Providers like Mail2Web ?
Tkx
Not free but
I know you said free, but ya might want to look at www.4smartphone.net. I'm very plesed with them and for the $6/mo, IMOP it is a smallprice to pay for the functiuonality and maintenance of your own email "reply to" address...

same one i use. works damn good
try http://mail2web.com/ it's free and their live service has push. It will also sync your contacts/todo.
I'm using mail2web as well, i think many people are. But i never give my mail2web email to anyone, i give them my gmail accounts and have that forwarded to my mail2web so it all works good
I have 2 gmail accounts forwarded the mail2web account so its 3 email accounts in total i have Pushed to my device...
On a side note, is running a server that supports push email that much work? why can't msn offer it for hotmail?
I also use 4smartphone ... works great. Also I've scoured the web for competitors and they are the cheapest, give you the most storage space, and offer the most features.
i used to have push email with my blackberry. how can i get my yahoo email to be synced/pushed? tia
Read some posts here in the forum. This topic is described very well.
You need an ms exchange email account (eg. http://www.mail2web.com). it's free.
then forward all your yahoo mails to this account of let mail2web fetch them.
configure activesysnc on your device to fetch the mails and thats it.
rgds,

^so does this service automatically send emails directly to me? after looking at the website, it seems like i have to go there to fetch the emails. im looking for something similar to blackberry's email service, where emails come to my device in real time. im sure it's a noob question for i apologize in advance if this has been discussed already.
It works flawlessly with this service.I'm using it for 2 years now, and I dind't have any problems.
Mail2web offers many services. I think you saw the OWA (outlook web access).
With OWA you can have a llok&feel Outlook displayed in a browser.
Search for a howto here in the forum, how to configure your device, and you will see.
It's an easy one.
In active sync on your device you can setup the sync interval. You can set it to: When item arrives.
This is BB style. Therefor you need 24/7 dataconnection.

Yes, the mail is pushed to your device in real time.
yahoo email forwarding must've been free before but now it wants me to buy the yahoo plus to get that feature.
Is there anotehr way of forwarding yahoo email elsewhere?
i downloaded ypops but it doesnt seem to forward
Mail2web, works a treat.
I briefly read this thread, and 1.5 hours later I had my Yahoo email forwarding to my NTL account which in turn forwarded to my new microsoft web access acount.
which in turn pushes the mail to my mobile.
On your yahoo mail page in the top right is a light blue link 'options'
select that and then on the right hand side is a link to 'pop & forwarding'
And that is where you enter your forwarding address.
Works a treat.
Now if i buy somthing on ebay, within 40 seconds there is a mail on my mobile.
pretty fast i think. and FREE.
Chris
how are you forwarding your yahoo email? Do you have the free account or paid?
bump(*_*) 666666
forwarding yahoo
It is just the free account.
Under your 'my account' add an alternate email address and set this address to primary.

Mda Push email??
Ive been following Jinwu57 post for a few days now and I would like to also know how to have my mail pushed to my MDA. I followed the post here & setup a http://www.mail2web.com account but it does not work for me. I am unable to sync my mail exchange in ACtivesync, In tools...Server source I get an error. This is very confusing. I have 3 email accounts which are very important to me. My solution was to open up a GMail account. Forward all other email accounts to my Gmail and have tmobile data check every 10minutes. Hope this helps you Jinwu57
Appologies, I had a yahoo group that was forwarding its mail to my NTL account. But I now do have my yahoo account forwarding.
On your yahoo mail page in the top right is a light blue link 'options'
select that and then on the left hand side is a link to 'pop & forwarding'
And that is where you enter your forwarding address.
This also forwards directly to my mail2web.com account. (small bonus)
I hope this is the answer you wanted (this time).

those options are not available on free accounts. Perhaps you obtained ur yahoo account when pop/forwarding was free.
yahoo mail forwarding.
I have only had the yahoo account about 2 or 3 weeks.
I'm not sure I described it well enough.
From the options menu you have to select 'mail options'.
then on the left I get 'pop & forwarding' options available.
You might have more luck with the yahoo clasic view.
Options (in the top right of your mail window)
then the option for 'pop & forwarding' is in the middle of the page under the management column.
also found this link that shows that forwarding is possible in both free and plus(payed) services:
http://uk.docs.yahoo.com/mail/plus/info/
I don't know that there is much more I can say, but if you have further question on this, please email me or send a personal message, as this is a bit off topic now.
Thanks.
Chris.

Yahoo push mail
Don't know if you guys know this or not, but Yahoo now has a mobile client for PPC and SP that gives you lots of stuff, including push mail. No need to forward stuff or anything like that.
I'm running that on both my phones and I must say that it is quite good. Check it out here: Yahoo Go! and download the client.

Sounds good. There is an advantage to using mail2web, though. No extra app is required on your PPC, it works with ActiveSync and your PPC's email app.
and is therefore hardly any extra burden on the PPC's memory.
Good addition though.

has anyone tried Emoze from www.emoze.com. N do u need to have gprs to get emails.
Is there a way in mail2web to change the 'from' address? I can't find any.
thank you very much!!!
I've got seven (7) invites to Google Wave. I'd like to receive a invite in order to use Google Voice in exchange for one, but if you're interested in getting one with or without the Voice invite - send me a pm with your email address.
Just wondering if there is a way to do this cause i really don't want to change my email adress wherever it is located. I would like to have it forwarded to gmail account so i could get notifications.
Yes. You can for a fee:
"Beginning April 24, Yahoo's Mail Forwarding service will cost $29.99 a year, according to a message posted on Yahoo's site. People who subscribe before April 24 will pay $19.99 for the first year. "
but that was in 2002
Yahoo is pretty stingy on this you will either have to switch to Gmail out right, pay for yahoo plus which allows pop3 forwarding or use the mail program instead of gmail. You will give up push if you switch programs.
I kicked yahoo to the curb over this about a year ago. They can sit on my $#@* and rotate.
pffft are they nuts. Thanks guys.
There are several guides onlone, it involves changing your settings to yahoo Asia, it won't screw anything up Google it.
I set up my google acct to pull from my yahoo acct.. It will xfer folders, everything.
I think it uses IMAP? Not 100% sure, but so far it's working.
definitely using free POP from yahoo directly to the mail app...
I haven't done forwarding but I do know if you change your yahoo locale to Asia you can get at least some me the plus features free. That's what I did to get pop to work.
