Can someone please give me some simple instructions on how to set up googlemail push. I have googlemail set up and email frequency box is set at 5 minutes, it gives no option for push. I have not found the option to sync contacts etc. Maybe I am having another senior moment!! Thank you.
Check out the beta section on google sync website -That should give you the info you need. I have not got it to work yet though.

if you create an new email account, don't select the gmail option. You need to create an active sync (exchange) connection... then you have push mail. instructions are indeed on the google sync beta page....
Many thanks, I will head over there now
in activesync app, type your gmail email and password, server is m.google.com ., go thru options for cal, contacts, and email, frequency, and peak times.

Now got the phone to push, new problem is that the notification sound does not work with it at present, could this have anything to do with still having the ordinary googlemail on the phone?? Do I need to remove it????
Getting in a mess here I deleted the original googlemail, now I have none.

dont think so. I prefer using activesync for google contacts and calendar, and setting up gmail but without push in the email inbox. You should get email noises, no matter if both are there. Go to home screen, settings tab, menu, all settings, sounds and notifications, tab sounds, scroll to new email and check options are ticked as needed.
I can't get the push to work despite having hard reset the phone a couple of times. ( now got to get my music and photo's back on)
Contacts not so bad as they will sync with myphone.
I think I am going to have to go back to normal google syncing every 5 minutes. unless someone has another solution.
Thanks for your help
it may be your network not allowing it. make sure proxy is off in connections (settings, all settings, connections, connections, manage , edit, proxy)

Can you maybe post a small howto on the setup (srver and client site)?
I think that this would help a lot of users who would like to have this!
If I use GMail, but use my own domain instead of @gmail.com, can I still do Push Email?

Your provider will need to support this.
It's NOT a normal thing they do.
Only "free" push providers that I know of are Gmail and Hotmail (live)

Sure!
This is what worked for me after lots of attempts.
I deleted the original IMAP googlemail account
Iwent to activesync
Put in my googlemail address ie [email protected]
Password xxxxxxx ignore tha fact that it then adds extra digits.
Save password
leave domain name blank
username will come up as santa, this needs changing to [email protected]
edit server will come up and this is m.google.com
Choose the data you want to sync
Choose schedule as items arrive
The forst sync I had to press send and receive thereafter it worked.
What was confusing me before was the fact that I had the phone charging in the computer as I set up, it would not sync until I unplugged it. After unplugging it only pushed new mail not the mail already on the server.
I hope this makes some sense I am very new to this.
Ok.. Looks easy. Did you set anything in your gmail account on the server?
Also. I'm not sure if thats your true e-mail address, but if so, and if you do not like spam, you better remove it from your post!
Lot's of spam bots WILL get your e-mail address, and use it for sending spam to you!
Ok I managed to get it working after a bit, but syncing still seems slow. Also when I send a message from the phone it shows up in my mail client inbox anyway to stop this happening.

Hi all..
I am having trouble setting up hotmail on my new HTC Tattoo... it keeps saying server not responding... what should I do??
Cheers

Mine works fine. How are you proceeding to set it up?
Its been along time since i been here and i had to reset my password, have you got the correct date/time on ur phone??? messenger needs correct dates to work dude hope this helps u
Configure hotmail or other mails with google mail.
Login in gmail, setting, account and setting, add account mail POP3.
We can configure other mails with gmail!
hi all
Yep . Get Googlemail to fetch it
I've connected at the wifi, the internet is working on the device but i get an error wen I try to connect to my gmai account or wen i want to set up my yahoo email.
I also experienced the same problem at start but only with the yahoo account, for the yahoo account to work you need to do the following:
1. Make sure Wi-Fi is turned off and 3g or Edge is connected.
2. Press the E-Mail icon (the default Android E-Mail application)
3. Enter your Yahoo E-Mail address and password
4. Press “Manual Setup” in the lower left hand corner
5. For “Incoming Server Settings” set the IMAP server to “imap.mail.yahoo.com”
6. For “Outgoing Server Settings” set the SMTP Server to “smtp.mobile.mail.yahoo.com”
7. Check “Require sign-in” and press Next
The yahoo account will only work when using the 3g or Edge network, it does NOT work with wifi. This is not the case with gmail which worked fine from the beginning both on wifi and 3g.
thanks for the advice.

There's a similar item in the settings on your gmail account.
the Google Mail program does not need it, but to use the standard Mail program, you need to go to gmail on your pc
click options
set the IMAP access on in the settings somewhere.
Then the HTC Mail app can access your Gmail as well.

I cannot get my google business account to work on my HTC Desire 526. When I go to Accounts and Sync, both account (personal gmail and business) are showing, but when I try to access email, it is not there. Am I missing a step?
Hi,
I have 2 email accounts that I'd like to remove. Hotmail and Windows Live. They stopped syncing all of a sudden and when I select either of them and select Inbox, the next screen shows Set up Email account. When I try to set up my Hotmail and Windows Live email account again, I get a message saying that these accounts already exist.
I installed Windows Live 10.7 after trying out the above, but still no luck.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks!

even your hotmail and Windows Live Mail boxes are highlighted? Mine's greyed out...
if you allow them to be set up automatically then you need to go top the live app and remove your login details, which should remove the linked email account.

The Live app creates another Hotmail and another Windows Live Mail account which I can remove using Live app. The original accounts still remain in the Email Tab.
ahh.
no help then, sorry.

Their is one solution but it works only half of the time. You may try it.
1. disable wifi and you must have cellular data active.
2. Enter your account details in Email app.
3. Select manual setup, select Imap, under incoming server select imap.mail.yahoo.com, as I mentioned it works sometime so may be you will get a message user name password can not be verified in that case you can try after sometime, untill you get success.
4. outgoing server smtp.mobile.mail.yahoo.com
I can confirm this workaround does work I am using it like this with two of my yahoo account.
