POP3 accts: Its there a tweak 2 enable "connect & check for msgs" sooner than 15 mins
What's up guys?
I'm trying setup my bellsouth and gmail as POP3 accts in Outlook (WM6) but noticed that unlike WM5, the most often connection setting for "connect and check for messages" its every 15mins.
I was wondering if anyone knows of a tweak or registry hack to change that and make it connect and check for messages sooner (like WM5 where you can change set it to connect as often as every 1 min)
Thanks in advance!!

This is something i would like to know too.
It doesnt seem to be a possible option (at least not for WM6).... Its just not d convinient to have Outlook check for new mail every 15mins... specially for people who rely on email messages throughout the day.
Any suggestions?
Possibly a registry change?
Doesn't seem to be any as of now.
I would be happy if I could simply send an email from my MDA since I've flashed the WM6 ROM. So far I'm receive only.

Has anyone noticed that when you receive an email the notification pop up only after the next check (can be 20-30 minutes).
Am I missing something or what else ... ? I want the sond to be played as the email is in inbox.
Thanks
so no one ... :?:
i wonder what's the issue.
pop3 auto email check every 1 minute
In mobile 6 on my samsung i760, I can configure it to autocheck for new mail every 15 minutes. Is there a registry hack that will allow me to change this to "immediately" "every 1 minute", every 2 minutes" ? I am using pop3 and *not* Verizon's push or wirelesssync service. thanx, experts.
Hi. I've been using mail2web services for a while. They were great until the last couple of weeks, now their service goes down like a pro.
So.. I started to look at alternatives.
fastmail -- nice account, IMAP.. but for the life of me I couldn't get it to "push" email to my phone. It supposedly supports IDLE, but I couldn't figure this out. Am I missing a setting somewhere? The thing never pushed mail to my phone at all.
1and1.com -- slightly more expensive exchange2003 account. No .CAB for the activesynch settings, they have to be input manually. No problem, until I set "as arrives" in scheduling and it asks me for an SMS gateway. Uh-oh. Im on Softbank and I know nothing about any gateway.
this post:
http://forums.techarena.in/showthread.php?t=410683
explains that Exchange works by sending a header SMS to instruct the phone to synch. However, mail2web never asked me for my provider or any SMS gateway.. so if this is how it works how did mail2web do it?
If anyone can shed some light on how to get this working properly, or where to find more technical details on how this stuff works I'd be a lot happier. As it is I'm having to check gmail periodically.
Thanks for your help!
I think your getting mixed up a bit sir, mail2web uses the push feature because it uses your GPRS connection to talk to it. If you ran a netstat program to see what the device is currently connected to you will see an active connection to mobile.exchange.mail2web.com, as soon as an email arrives it signals activsync on your device to synchronise your emails, the device simply tells you that there is an unread message. The connection is always on. If you have GSM signal but no active data connection you wont get your push emails.
The connection is always on but stuff is sent to and fro only when there is a change on one end (for example if you add a new contact.....it will sync with the mail2web server and the new contact will be on there aswell).
and FYI...mail2web has been a bit unreliable lately but its ok at the moment!?
Thanks for the info.
So..... do you have any advice as to how I would set up activesynch the same way to connect to 1and1?
When I set it up it asks me for the gateway, otherwise won't let me choose "when arrives" for scheduling, could this be a setting on my side, or a setting on their servers?
mail2web may be OK now, but for a non-free service 1 whole week of unreliability is enough for me. Who knows how long it'll be up before problems start again.

mail2web seems back to normal service today... Nearly
But yes one week without push... including sometimes when your email just do not even reach your acount and bounce (ie they're just lost...) it's not really what we need
I hope in the future more and more providers will propose Exchange 2007 accounts by default...
I am also a former m2w user. canceled my account in fury after indeed more than three weeks of problems, topped with a week off.
Fortunately my school's email supports ActiveSync so I moved there.
I cannot recommend any particular commercial replacement.
I've heard a few folks using Goodlink, but I am not convinced.
Push email is no joke, once you have it and rely on it, and it goes bananas, the harm is real.
Do we know when mail2web is planning on using exchange 2007??
in my messaging options, under windows live I have my hotmail account.
now can I set this up to check for mail ever 5 mins or so, and then when there is new mail, give me a new message tonè whilst the phone is in standby, like a sms?
cheers.
If you have Windows Mobile 6, your mail should be push from Hotmail. Mine is.

under your Live messenger option in your ppc there is option on how often you wan to check for new Email.
Since I remember there is also a option which says "as arrives". That means emeddiatly after the mail arrives in your Hotmail account the mail will be pushed to your mobile device.
I confirm this option and really after few seconds the mail arrives, it will be also received on the hand device
Anyhow this option cost a lot battery power. therefore I set it every 15-30min.
ive found that option, set it to 15mins, sent myself a mail, waited an hour nothing?
still have to manualy send/recieve
in the options for sync, it says manual, I change it to every 15 mins etc go done and done to exit it, as soon as I go bck to check it, it has reverted back to manual again?
how do I make the 15 min option stick?

Did you try to fine-tune the push mail heartbeat rate to decrease this - or, force the handheld to operate in GPRS mode instead of 3G?

Yes, Exactly same thing happens to mine 'Hermes' with WM6.
But i get my e-mail as they arrive. I really wanted to to do the 'PUSH' only with in spcefied time frame! Which did not work for me for Hotmail account.
So i built this little program to assist me to do timed syncs(Check under my signature for rk-OSR
will have a try, cheers
Hi, i have my pop3 email set to download every 15 mins, but if i dont read the email i get the new mail sound every 15 mins, is there anyway around this? i have just come from using a nokia that never had this problem.
or are there any other decent pop3 mail programs that i could use?
Hey all,
I have been searching and looking everywhere to find a way to set my send/receive schedule at a lesser interval than the standard 5 minutes.. I am wondering if anyone knows the reg keys or a way I can edit the registry to allow it to send and receive every minute or so?
Thankyou for any help.

Outlook has an option through active sync schedule to set item as they arrive.
I have tried using active sync for my email.. When I set it up the only way the email works is if I connect it to my pc via the cable. I don't receive any emails and if I try send one it just stays in the outbox until I plug it into the computer and sync it.
Maybe I am doing something wrong or missing something?
Exchange is the best way to do push email (which is essentially email under 5min intervals). Its available to regular (non-corporate) joes by buying a hosted exchange pkg from a provider. I use 4smartphone and love it but there are lots of others. About $10/mo and you get full fledged Exchange 2008 w web access too. Nothing better than baking your MSEX acct info into your rom, and after a hard reset ALL your contacts, sched, tasks AND email download automatically back into your phone in minutes. love it. You can also wipe it remotely if its ever stolen. I think the intervals for pop are somehow hard-coded into the program, not stored in the reg, but I could be wrong. I've looked for them.
Also, if you have less than an unlimited data plan, then push is more efficient then all the traffic of checking 1440 times a day...
