Probably a stupid question..

Hello, Im on bell and i have my hotmail email set up with my phone and i find it really annoying that i have to hit send/recieve to get delete and send emails...is there a way to just get the e-mail from the person who sent it, without hitting the send/recieve button..if it helps im running NFSFANS newest version of his rom.
Thanks

You could try mobipush which is a free push email service.

1. Navigate to your email tab on M2D
2. Select menu (bottom right soft key), then accounts
3. Select menu again, then options
4. You'll have a box that says "tap an account to change settings", select hotmail
5. Select synch schedule. You can set the frequency and times. Mine is set to every 60 minutes from 9am to 9pm
It's not as good as my exchange email, but better than selecting "send/recieve" all the time.

on your phone go to:
email -> hotmail inbox -> menu -> tools -> options ->click hotmail ->
sync schedule -> set sync frequency to "as items arrive"
emails will arrive in your hotmail inbox and show up on your phone about 30 s later

Gmail shortcut

Hi there,
I have set up my gmail account in Email area of my Leo. But everytime I select email it shows me a page to select my gmail or setup another email.
Is there any way to make a direct shortcut to gmail account of email client?

mail - go into the inbox of the account.
click menu - scroll to tools - options
at the bottom of the accounts tab is "disaply account picker when opening messaging"
untick it, it should then go straight to your inbox when clicking the icon.

Thank you. It's working.

no probs

Gmail only showing last days

Hello,
I have set up my gmail as IMAP with the standard config of the HD2. Everything works fine, the only problem is that the mail only shows the last couple days and not the enitre mail account.
Shouldn't is show all mails I have in my gmail account since it's setup is IMAP?
If so, did I miss a setting?
Thanks in advance for helping!
P.S. I've searched the forum for similar threads but couldnt find one, apologies if it's a double post.

I'm not sure about IMAP but when using activesync to interact with gmail, there is a way to tell it how far back to download emails.
Why aren't you using activsync and gmail's push email service by the way?
When you're setting it up, on the last screen when you are selecting what services you want to use (calendar, contacts, email) if you highlight email then you can click on setting and set how far back you want to sync.
NOTE: Don't try and do tasks or texts because google doesn't support them yet.
Hope this helps

For Yahoo (not Hotmail!)
1. Select eMail in the HD2 Start Menu.
2. Select your mail account (without opening the mail, if you open the mail, simply press back arrow on hardware keys, and then reselect eMail form Start Menu.
This will ensure Mail Account is highlighted.
3. Select Menu > options
4. Tap the account to change settings
5. Select Send/Receive Schedule
6. Select frequency and Download options eg past 3 days, 5, 7, 30, ALL
Download size for mail and attachments also available.
This does not appear to be available for Hotmail account!
Hope this helps.

works fine, thanks

GMAIl accounts

If in the settings i go under ACCOUNTS & SYNC I can see I have two accounts for my gmail:
one named CORPORATE with a square symbol: this is used for pushmail settings and the options to sync calendar and contacts are not selected
one named GOOGLE with a "g" symbol: this has no pushmail settings but only options to sync calendar, contacts and picassa and they are all selected (but I have unselected picassa)
In practice I have a CORPORATE account for email and a GMAIL account for calendar and contacts, which is fine, but every time I try to add a contact it asks me if I want to add it to the CORPORATE or to the GMAIL account, which is annoying... Is there any way to set GOOGLE account as a default for contacts (like for email where if you have more than one account you can set one as default)
Please note that in case of calendar entries there is no prompt of which account to use
What if I remove the GOOGLE account and I use only the CORPORATE account for emails, contacts and calendar? Do I lose any feature?

making gmail pullinstead of push

I have 4 Gmail accounts tied to my phone. Some are more important than others. How do I make some accounts pull at intervals that I set as oppose to push? Im not seeing this feature in my settings.

To do that, you must use another mail application instead of Gmail app, like the stock e-mail app or k-9, for example.
You can configure the accounts that you want to pull in these apps, and let those accounts you want to push in Gmail app.

disable gmail sync for that account (settings - accounts and sync - select an account), then hit menu - refresh in the gmail app to get new email
