Nutdhanai: this is useful info, but FYI, it's fairly well known info.
But it's useful to have it again, I suppose!

Yea i thought i ve seen this here before, I saw someone asking about push mail service in other forums so I thought someone may need the info here too..
great I was gonna ask about this as I've tried emoze with no result
how do I set up the AKU2 for an exec on tmobile uk,will it run ok?
i am aware of this, but wanted to know if anyone had an idea as to how to change the reply-to address???
I have emails forwarded to the mail2web account so i can get the exchange sync on my Wizard but do not reply to them from it as i do not want that email address to be avaliable
mail2web
Ive been using the paid service of mail2web (i liked the free service enough that i wanted a full service) for the last 3 months now, in europe, in china the push email has worked great (no i dont work for them, but geeze when something just works its nice).
1) get the free account at www.mail2web.com
2) choose your [email protected]
3) redirect all your email to your mail2web.com address
4) when u want to reply to something simply setup an imap, or pop3
account that you never poll, so when u want to reply to an email,
switch account, new, send email. its a bit cludgy, we need a better
email client that allows us to adjust the from address.
a.
As far as I am aware, it is something they have to do at the server end. I spoke to them about it and changing the domain of the reply address is one of the features of their buisness packages.
However, they did say that they are thinking of adding this to the personal package soon (don't know if that includes the free one or not!)
Hope this helps!

That would be awesome. I currently use a forwarding-account from http://www.pobox.com and would like to be able to use my Pobox-address as the default address from Mail2Web-live.

You can simply reply to emails through the mail client, it will send them from your mail2web account.
Just followed the instruction and got the push mail work perfectly, but some question to ask here, can i know what's the different between this setup and if I setup a pop mail with auto connect option enabled?
Pop mail will check mail at the intervals you specify.
Push mail keeps a data link open to the server and gets the mail as soon as it arives.

For the pushmail to work, does our phone require to be connnected to the internet either throught wifi or GPRS or other services offered by the mobile service provider?
Yes, it needs internet access.
GPRS is what it's designed to work with as this stays active while he phone is in standby. It will work with WiFi, but while the phone is in standby it will try to connect by GPRS if you have a connection available.
It could in theory work on a Bluetooth PAN with internet access, but I haven't tried this.
ok i have mail2web set up but push email is not working. I have a t-mobile MDA with the new T-Mobile US ROM (the t-mobile provided rom) and if i send recieve i get my email but so far i have not received a push email..... any thoughts..... directpush is green in the connection manager.....
i have the mda for t-mobile usa too
go to active sync on the mda and then
Menu
Schedule
and change to "As Items Arrive"
when you do that it will say you can get items imediatelly or something like that and it asks for your device address [email protected]
and there you go
Thanks buddy works perfect!
very very useful, very pleased with it now on my vario ii.
It Sync's contacts and calender too, so for backup purposes its fantastic
Is it possible to push from two different servers?
I have been using gmail for a long time. My biggest complaint is that everytime I sync it deletes all of the information that was downloaded the last time I synced. Someone recomended mail2web.com to use as an exchange server which works great. I didn't know my wizard could do push mail. Now that it does I would like to download my work email and my gmail, but keep them seperate. Is that possible? If it isn't does anyone know of a pop or imap service that works better then gmail? Thanks a bunch.

In Gmail you can select the option of leaving a copy of your mail in Gmail account in Options.
I use mail2web.com with free live services and it work's well.
But i don't understand why deleted items folders and drafts folders are not sync. I've look at the activ sync stteings but i didn't found how to make those folfers sync. with my Tytn.
Is there some people that have those folders Sync. ?
Is it a limitation for free services at Mail2web ?
thanks for answer
I may be the only one interested in this but I finally figured out how to accesss my premium hotmail account from Outlook Mobile in WM6.1. I was hitting a wall when trying to setup a new account in Outlook. When I entered [email protected] on the first setup screen and hit next, I would get the screen with the link to Windows Live Hotmail. Here is how I got it to work.
When adding a new account I entered [email protected] in the email address box. This allowed me to get to the next available settings needed to configure the account. Once I configured and setup the account, I went back into the account settings and changed the email address to [email protected]. Works now!
I'm sure all of these talented people on this website already knew that but I couldnt find it anywhere.
try this

Try this for http.
Sorry for this.
Sorry to bump such an old thread, but google sent me this way.
Does this treat it as a pop e-mail though, or like an IMAP account?
This is great advice! I tried this approach and it worked beautifully. No additional programs required on my little device so I can check all my accounts together.
I just flashed the
OTP v7.6 Biggy with phonecanvas and I LOVE IT!
However, I am trying to setup @gmail it goes to automatic setup and finishes and it does not work. I changed where it automatically had put smtp in the incoming server and it still does not work. I cant even set it up manually.
Sam thing with my @msn email account used to setup automatically in original Wing ROM but now it only gives me a link to browse to check my email on the pocket browser (in this case Opera Mini).
Any solution?
Ok, I was able to fix the gmail problem, in case anyone else has an issue:
Just start off by pretending you dont have gmail but have gggmail like i did. in the first step if your email is
[email protected][B]gmail.com[/B] for instance just type in
[email protected][B]gggmail.com[/B]
then the stupid software will give you the option not to search for automatic setting that is screwing up the email (probably Gmail doing it on purpose since the Andriod is out).
I have not tried the msn yet but I will.
MODs please feel free to delete this thread!
Ok, Gmail is fixed.
MSN does NOT work anymore I guess from what I understand (I am not a paying member so I dont get pop3, I dont know how I was getting it before)
Yahoo however is giving away free POP3 in certain countries, and the new email address is @ymail.com, so just go to this site: http://uk.yahoo.com/ and then sign up for a new account in UK and later chnage your location to US. he POP3 is in the email section under options, pop and forwarding. Good luck!
for MSN i'm sure you could always install windows live, though that will eat up another 3mb of precious memory on the phone
Thanks!
Thanks. My Gmail kept defaulting to imap - even though I changed it back to POP on the server level and it was driving me nuts. That is a pretty stupid move on WinMobile's part to not give us the "manual" configuration option up front.
Shep
So I finally got fed up with not being able to send emails through my hotmail account on my phone. I set it up as POP3. I also got fed up with my messages being deleted without me actually deleting them.
I did a quick search about trying to set up my hotmail account and didn't really find an answer. I don't want to root my phone just to get my e-mail to work. I don't want to go through a 3rd party (App via market) to get my e-mails. Is there really no way that I can get my hotmail to actually work on my phone??? I mean this is ridiculous. Something as simple as e-mail doesn't work properly.
I've had my hotmail account for over 10 years and it is my main e-mail.
I use MSN and have no issues. Only thing I had to change in the stock mail app was the Security type from SSL to TLS for the outgoing server.
thanks that actually worked.

Glad it worked out!
have you tried setting it up as an exchange account. works perfect on the mytouch4g. gives me push mail and leaves messages on the server.
Server/URL m.hotmail.com
Username Full e-mail address (such as: [email protected])
Domain Leave this blank
SSL Enable this
Certificate Accept the SSL certificate when prompted
wow thanks. this worked too. now i did use the search function before i posted this... lol. thanks guys you dont know how much of a headache you saved me.
no problem man push mail works better for me instant notification. i lurk here for a buddy that has an inspire.
ok so i accidently deleted the exchange account (trying to delete the POP3 account) and now it wont let me add it again =(. idk whats wrong.
went through now... strange
Hello,
I have trouble connecting to Yahoo! mail and messenger on my LG Optimus Black. I have tried setting up the mail account from the Email application already installed on the phone and also through the mail and messenger apps downloaded from the Android market, but I was unssuccessful. Either I get a message that my account info could not be checked, or that my username and password are invalid....
Could anyone guide me trough the steps i need to take to solve this issue? Also which is best POP3 or IMAP4?
I`m clueless in what concerns this stuff and also a noobie to the Android platform...this is my first Android phone....
Many thanks for your help.

Yahoo only allows pop3 unless you pay for the premium service.

Hi zelendel,
Thanks for your reply. I`ve just tried connecting in the exact same way with another address and it worked perfectly.... both the app already on my phone and also on the apps for mail and messenger fron the market, so i think there is a problem ....
Vctory!! I`ve done it.... I connected my address to the apps .
Many thanks for your answer!
Glad you got it to work. Mind posting how for others that have this problem?
Actually I have no ideea.... I just entered the ID and password again and it connected on the Y! mail and messenger apps I downloaded from the market. For the phone one it doesn`t work, but I didn`t try it much with my official yahoo address. I could connect with an alternative mail address, but the mails are not synced (the emails that were already in my mailbox are not shown and neither the ones I received after setting up the account). I could only set ut IMAP... could this be the cause for that?
