Hi all,
I am not sure whether I am completely right now, but I am quite sure I have never seen an entry called "PUSH" in my Outlook mail accounts list on my Vox before.
But now it is there, along with my ActiveSync account, a Windows Live account and 3 imap accounts.
I cannot access any settings nor can I delete it.
Does anybody know what it is for? And where it comes from?
Many thanks and have a lovely day

Push mail is instant mail. You get it when you connect to a exchange server.
Just another question...
Hi,
many thanks for the answer. I am aware what pushmail is.
Just I was concerned as I have for sure not set up this "PUSH" account. But now it is there.
Is it automatically created whenever I configure my exchange account for push mail? Is this the secret behind?
I was just surprised as of why this is not hidden or so, as there is no obvious use for it.
Thanks

hey guys even i have the same thing..it occured suddenly in my s710...can anyone explain me what is that clearly..
i got the same, and the strange thing is that when i configured an exchange server, that one was added as outlookmail and still there is an empty push item!
???
Did you install the jb5 browser recently? This installs a WAP Push account which appears in the mail application, in the settings of this browser you can disable it and after a soft reboot the account disappears.
you are totally right my friend!
I tried to install jb5. that didnt work because I got an 'installation unsuccesful', but since then the pushmail is there.
do you know how to install/deinstall jb5 on wm6.1?
so, I cannot use the jb5 browser to delete the push mail. You know how to do it manually?
I've not been able to install it since upgrading to WM6.1, however, for me, the unsuccessful install didn't add the account to the Mail app. I have no idea how to get rid of accounts that can't be accessed apart from the obvious of a hard reset...
Solved !!!
Hi,
thank you very much. Yes, I have installed JB5 browser and this was exactly the root cause.
Now I removed it successfully and I am happy again.
Great community here, many thanks!!!

Hi Guys and Girls!
Just a quick question I wondered if any of you forum guys had an idea of a way to receive e-mails from 2 Windows live email accounts to one device?
I have a hotmail.com address which I've had for ages and is used for messenger, facebook and any other crap like that and i have a live.co.uk account that I use for all important e-mails such as Jobs, banking etc.
I dont want to set the one account just to forward to the other account but as far as I can see you can only sign into the windows live application with 1 ID and you have to keep switching. Also it won't let you set up the other e-mail address through the general Email account setup.
If anyone has any ideas that might help I will be very appreciative!
Many Thanks All!
The only way as far as i know is to just bookmark one of the hotmail accounts in your browser and just refresh it whenever you want to check for new mail. It works for me. Cheers.

Yeah but it kind of defeats the object of having Push Email though...
Sorry, but it don;t know of any way to do it. as you have already noticed, the Live app only supports one account. Maybe something like fleximail or a similar 3rd party mail app would allow you to have multiple hotmail accounts??
hi, just wondering whether anyone's had this annoying problem. it's windows mobile 6 and the problem is adding an email account. i had a previous email account linked to pop/smtp in which i could not edit account options, so i deleted the account. now, when i go to start -> programs -> messaging -> menu -> tools -> new account, nothing happens. i.e i cant add a new email messenging account. there's no error message...
can anyone assist?!
which device do you have?
an htc cruise.
How may messaging accounts do you have already? This includes SMS, MMS and the standard Outlook. There is a maximun number, think it's 7.
an active sms account. and the outlook and email sample ones which i dont use
so, 3 existing ones
Thats not it then, i have SMS and 5 email accounts and the option to add another is still there.
5???
thats a lot

2 domain based POP3, one Hotmail, one gmail and one mail2web. The penalty, i suppose, of having a split personality on line. I have a work related profile and a personal one.
Hehe, i also use 2 Gmails and 2 POP3.. and sometimes hotmail, messenger dependent.
anyways, try this:
delete whatever accounts you have on your device and delete any pc partnerships on your device. pair your device with your PC again and then try creating an account. if this doesn't work, i suggest creating a _setup.xml file which will be cabbed containing your email preferences. If the first solution doesn't work, let me know and i'll guide you thru creating that cab file.

many thanks for the solution however, i did a hard reset already since i needed to desperately check email whilst on the road. it's a pain since i have no idea what corrupted it..
touchwood it doesnt happen again but if it does i'll be sure to try the solution proposed!
many thanks again!

I tried the MyTouch 3G last year and found that it's email sync with Hotmail was poor. If you deleted/read something from the device, it would not delete it/mark it read on the server. I tried the K-9 program, but it was pretty lame as it did not fix the above issues.
Has this been fixed? I really enjoyed all other aspects of Android, but this issue is a necessity for a phone for me.
Also, the native MS exchange server support only covered email. Have they added contacts and calendar syncing? When I had the MyTouch 3G, I bought the program "Touchdown" and that worked slick.
I am just curious to see if the Android people had advanced into the core MS functionality yet.
Thanks for any input.
POP is notoriously hard to keep in sync among multiple clients. There's usually a 'mark as read on download' setting that works ok if you only have one POP client downloading mail. When I last checked Hotmail didn't have that ability but maybe they've done some improvements. If they have an IMAP or ActiveSync option that would be the ideal solution.
In my case I don't use my Hotmail as my primary account but I still have email that goes to it. I use Gmail's ability to sync with external POP accounts to download and label my Hotmail email. This way I get my Hotmail email pushed to me like my Gmail email and I don't have to use separate email clients to read them. I also prefer Gmail's web interface and spam filter so I don't even bother going to Hotmail's site any more. The problem with this approach is that Android's Gmail app doesn't allow you to change the 'from' field so if you reply to a Hotmail email it will be from your Gmail address. This isn't an issue for me since I essentially use my Hotmail as a read-only account. If you have a similar use case then this method would probably work well for you.
Thanks for the input. It sounds like things are about the same as what I was experiencing.
Currently, I fall on the WinMo side of the coin.
All my email is hosted by Google Apps, and is pushed to my WinMo device by GoogleApps using the MS Activesync (MS Exchange Server) protocol.
If I move onto an ANDROID device, what mechanisms are available to me, to have 'always on' push-email? Will my GoogleApps account have to MS ActiveSync to my Google Powered phone? Seems a bit weird. I know there are some 'constant connected' implementations of IMAP too, but apparently they're particularly resource / data hungry.
Can anyone advise - I'm likely to buy my first Android phone quite soon.
The default gmail application does push. There are also several options and settings for push or timed queries for other mail services, exchange or otherwise through market applications or the stock email application.
Android phones usually have 2 mail apps. One for gmail which automatically pushes mail to the app and works absolutely brilliantly. The second is for all other types of mail accounts eg pop, Imap, and exchange ActiveSync. This can be scheduled or set to push under ActiveSync.
Thanks folks, for all the input.
This sounds like it would actually work better for me, as it seems I'd be able to have instant push email through the gmail app, for my google-apps domain, and the second mail client could be pushed email directly from an exchange server.
Wonder how it'll handle contacts from both!
I think all that remains now, is do I get the HTC Desire, or the SE Xperia X10,
and that's a question out of scope for this thread, I think.
Has anyone tried setting up gmail as an activesync account so all email will be in one app? I've tried different things for the username and domain and can't get it to connect.
I actually switched from having a hosted MSexchange account to a Googleapps GMail acct, and push works great.

according to googleapps, username is your FULL email address - [email protected] or [email protected]. domain should be blank. the 'Exchange' server is m.google.com. The option for using security should be selected.
Having never laid hands on Android, I can't tell you how to input these; but this is what I use on WinMo, and on my Nokia with the MailForExchange client.

The email app on android doesn't have a seperate domain box and keeps putting a '\' on the front of the '<mail name>@gmail.com' :-(
I know this is some sort of thread necromancy but I have a question regarding setting up google mail while also using the standard google account for synchronisation.
Both methods offer also synchronisation of contacts and calendars. While having both calendar synchronisation options active it will clone your entries. What about the contact synchronisation? It seems reasonable to have both options active as adding a new contact over the email app (which will use the exchange active sync) would synchronise with the google contacts which in turn should fill up your contacts handbook. Or is it obsolete as the stock email app will already add the contact to your google account even using seemingly another account?
I would appreciate any attempts to clear this confusion
Nevermind. Found it out myself: just stay with the google account, the stock email app takes it info from there and does integrate it.
issue im facing on the GMail app that comes built in with the OS, I cannot move emails to a specific folder. Any overcome ?
Some of this needs to be done from a PC......
well moving to a folder is a basic function, and being a google phone i feel the GMAIL app is lacking in quite alot of basic needs, not mentioning the UI.
Been an iphone user, and GMAIL was awesome on iphone. Can say, gmail on iphone mail app been an awesome experience. The push mail is quite similiar to BlackBerry on iphone. Quite disappointed on my email experience with android.

Same here.
With 4 email accounts, i feel like the only one that works correctly with push is Gmail.
Other emails have to be set through independent apps, if available, which is very annoying.
The native email app doesn't have a push option, draining battery every time it goes fetch.
Android is a powerhouse.
There's gotta be a solution for this.
I would like emails on the same app, and push.
I need a phone for business and the best email phone is still the Blackberry.
Hi guys,
For all those who are looking for having your private domain mails pushed to your phone, without having an Exchange setup, GMAIL does it!
Here is a step by step guide for adding POP/IMAP mail accounts into your GMAIL account and therefore getting the mails pushed to your phone.
Only thing is that the mails take around 15-20 minutes to come through, as GMAIL fetches your POP/IMAP mails into its server every 15 minutes.

Next alternative is using SEVEN MAIL! this is a brilliant app, very very easy to setup, and gives you mails in 5-10 minutes max!
here is the page where they have a direct download link for the SEVEN app
