somehow I cannot complete the process to add another mail account
Ive added gmail, now I wanted to add my school email account but it will not go any further then step 4/5, no matter what I try. I am not connected to the internet, which supposedly is good (the help file says so)
anyone run into this problem?
I have two pop accounts installed on my Jam, works no prob. there is a page when configuring the accounts the has Account information account type POP3 and by default has Name as POP3...have you been changing the names? because it will probably cause a problem having two accounts named POP3. I call my account Yahoo and Uni mail and have never had a problem.

Thank you.. :lol:
hi everyone. mail2web offering free push email account @ live.mail2web.com and ve got one it works with aku2 roms with one small problem.
when you setup exchange account ppc asks domain name on top of your user name and pw. there is no info on their web. at least I couldn't find. any one knows what it would be?
thnx
Domain should be ad2 i believe, it is on the website somewhere though. As i have it working since i upgraded o the latest o2 Rom image.
Username is your mail2web username with "_mail" behind.
Domain is "ad2"
And you know your password
example: [email protected] is mail address, then the activesync name is "lutzschildmann_mail"
thnx for help. I have setup but couldn't synch my contacts probably premium feature. now got another problem. I have sent test email to my self but it didn't deliver as soon as it arrives. I have setup that schedule option to as soon as items arrive and started direct push service from comm manager but no luck. am I doing smthng wrong?
its sorted now. I ve tried to change sender mail address so I can show it as coming from my personal email but didn't work. system is cool but domain name for mail is doggie atleast free though.
bw I ve used my email as normil to login. not as username_mail
does anybody know if it is possible to have two Push Email accounts? eg one for work and one for private.
No, you can only sync with one Exchange Server.
Try to push the mails from the first mail accoutn to the exchange, and than let your mails be pushed :lol:
thought so thanks but I prefer to keep private stuff away from my work stuff porn and sexual connotations are not conducive....

thanks for the timely reply
I've successfully used POP and gmail on my phone a few weeks ago. I received my email periodically but then recently I had to reset my phone. When I put in my password, a password is already saved and i know it's not my password because there are too many asterisks. Everytime gmaill tries accessing my email, i have to log in and log out and constantly enter my password. Is there any way I can erase what the system has saved for my password? I have tried numerous times erasing the gmail account and reinstalling it but for some reason that password, whatever it is, is saved to my phone. Please help? Thanks in advance! =D
Oh, those asterisks
One thing that might be happening is that you have an even number of asterisks, and that it is twice as long as your password. That's what I've noticed on my Gmail account. So, is your problem that the password just seems incorrect due to its length, or can you not send/receive your Gmail?
hey..
I can receive and send emails but before I do it, I have to constantly type in my password. The password saved is twice as long as my password and then some. I have to manually check if I have received any emails but a few weeks ago it would notify me like a text if I received an email. Any suggestions?
This might be more of a solution than you need but it should fix your problem.
Try Seven-beta which is an excellent tool (best I've come across) for getting Push Gmail (and most other emails accounts) on your phone. It works instantly and is very simple to set up. You can get it from their site or get it where I uploaded to here.

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.

No not my real email address it is of course santa's and he does not mind mail!
Did not set anything on server.
did anybody try to send a mail with some attachment to your gmail push account? When i get the mail on my device, i can see the attachment, however, i cannot open it or save it. When i click on the attachment it says downloading... but still cannot open or save it? does it work for you guys?
I have been trying to set up the hotmail account.
I've tried a couple of times and eventually got an account set up. Then trying it last night, it just decided that it didn't want to connect.
So i tried to delete the old one but it wont let me as its greyed out.
So i created a new one, hoping that the old one will become active and allow me to delete the old one.
Now when i go into the account settings, my yahoo accounts are active and can be deleted, but the 2 hotmail account, one account called hotmai the new one called hotmail.com are just greyed out.
What can i do to make the hotmail account active so that i can delete it?
i am having the same problem too.
I have used an workaround (first create hotmai then edit to hotmail) to add 2 hotmail acco
unts on the device, but there is no way to remove it.
I take it that no one has come across this problem before?
or have i put this is the wrong place?
I found that I could create the account using the "Windows Live" application, and everything was simpler from there.

+1. Sod it +100!
Windows live allows you to set up 1 hotmail account with minimal effort and also gives you push email ability. Unless you want multiple hotmail accounts then you shouldn't be doing it any other way.

thats fine, but what would a person do if they already have 2 hotmail accounts and the accounts are greyed out so that deleting them normally isn't an option?? Any suggestions?

Still cant delet the hotmail account though...still greyed out
