slow email read

sometimes it seems to stalling while fetching email.. even with the stallfix.... with standard rom, anyone has this lag too?

Me too. That's why I don't use it for mail anymore until I can find ways to speed it up. I also have problem setting up yahoo mail. Anyone knows how to do it?

Use k9 app for mail. It is better.
For yahoo try yahoo mail app.

about yahoo mail, but I want a universal mailbox, where all my 7 email accounts can be read within the same inbox. I like K9 more than stock mail, but it's still too slow for me.

For information how do you use the mail app ?
Frequency of sync, number of days/week/month of mail synced, number of mail displayed in the inbox ...
thanks

Odd - I've got a hotmail.com account and mine works fine through the mail client.. k-9.. and timescape.. but i do get the WSOD (!!! White screen of death!!) when I try to access via my browser..

Wierd.. I'm running rooted 024 n hotmail via dolphin browser works perfectly normal for me. looks more neater/nicer than before!!

On your phone, manually enter the website http://mobile.live.com
That should bring you to the new version of the hotmail site.

I just tried the new hotmail website using dolphin browser, nice, it allows me to dl the attachment now.

same problem here

You can now forward your hotmail to any email address. I have mine forwarded to my gmail account and use gmail to read/reply. Works awesome.

I still don't understand why you aren't all using the mail app to sync with your Hotmail account.. I do ... and it works fine.

If I use the mail app to sync my hotmail account, it can only sync every 5 minutes. With Gmail, it is almost instantaneous (like push email).
I will get my hotmail email faster via forwarding to my gmail account that having the mail app check every 5 minutes.
That is why I do it via Gmail.

But why should you have to do this?
I should be able to goto the hotmail site and view emails like
I did before.
I don't understand the need to forward my msgs to another email addy when i already ahve one...that's crazy!
There must be a solution?

Hotmail site gives me a blank page on the default browser, however! it works on opera browser

Hotmail doesn't support push notifications on mobile devices (yet) Microsoft said this should be coming by the end of the year. Can't find the link atm, but shouldnt be too hard to google

Actually, it does but only on Windows Mobile devices. I used to have push with hotmail and Exchange at the same time with Windows Mobile.

I have stopped using the Gmail app (got tired of the interface and such) and use K-9 mail instead. Most people don't realize that k-9 mail supports IMAP idle and so does Gmail so you still get push mail.

Tried k9 before, it was unreliable for hotmail and gmail.

Don't know where you get that from. Been using K-9 since day 1 on my Epic, with 5 different email accounts (Yahoo/AIM/Gmail/Hotmail/.Mac), 100% rock solid. Gmail and AIM use imap idle so they're next to push, the rest are set to poll every 2 hrs. Works solid.

[Q] Hotmail Calendar

How can I get my Hotmail calendar to sync with my shift? I use the Exchange ActiveSync account on my phone for my work email, but as a family we use Hotmail for our calendar. Any suggestions?

Not sure. If you search Microsofts site, it appears no direct syncing is supported. A workaround would be to link the calendar to your Google account so you can at least view it on your phone. Perhaps wait til WP7 hits Sprint?
Or move the family to Google. O_O

Tried exporting Hotmail calendar, but could not. Thus I could not import into Google calendar. Wife is not a fan of Google, so not so easy

I've never used exchange, but this says hotmail started using that and it will sync calendar/contacts/email... dunno if it is true, but worth a shot.

Switch the family to google, you will be happier in the end.

Yeah, almost all Android email problems can be fixed by switching to Gmail.

Looked at that link, but the phone will only allow one exchange activesync account which I need for my work email

Does this help? http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Calendar/thread?tid=1237b8532c40be62&hl=en

Success, thanks Stuke00

Hotmail app/widget for android

Why is there no hotmail widget for android? The mail app/widget we have is not of much help. I can't see the folders I have created and neither does it sync properly.
After reading mails on phone, it will be unread and if I delete it here on the phone, it will still be there when I use the web version. Any solution?

Setup hotmail using Exchange, google it up.

Configure your Exchange ActiveSync or use Gmail.
The mail viewer is much better
