What is "push" email?
Push email is mobile email that is instantly delivered to your mobile phone giving you real-time access to your email when you're on the move.

Nothing, Consilient Push is a free service.
Why is it taking so long to sync my emails on my phone?
The more emails you have, the longer it takes to sync them with your phone.
Are there any additional costs?
The only additional costs are for a data plan from your network operator. You need a data plan to use Consilient Push on your mobile phone.
How do I get a data plan?
Contact your network operator and select one of their wireless data packages that best suits your needs.
Can I view attachments?
Yes, you can receive, forward, save, and view photos and other attachments with Consilient Push.

For Windows Mobile Devices [ Most Important on this forum ] ;-)
Windows Mobile
I've installed Consilient Push on my Smartphone 2003 device but there is no Push account available. Did the installation fail?
Smartphone 2003 devices require a separate utility to provision the Push account in Outlook (on all other platforms the CAB installer performs this step automatically). After the CAB is installed, a Push Setup application is available in the Start Menu. When run it will provision the account in Outlook, prompting for credentials if an SMS message with the credential information is not found. When this utility is completed, a Push account should be available within Outlook.
Can I add more than one account for Consilient Push?
At this time Consilient Push can only be set up to sync mail for a single account. The ability to sync multiple accounts is being considered for a future release.
What attachment types can be viewed by Consilient Push?
Users can open any attachment as long as their device has an application installed that can view that attachment type.
Inline attachments are not showing up in my message body, why?
In order to transfer as little data as possible and save data charges from your carrier, Consilient Push treats all attachments (inline and otherwise) the same and the attachment is only downloaded if the user chooses to retrieve it.
Is there a way to download a single attachment for a message instead of downloading all attachments for that message?
This functionality is not available at this time, but is being considered for a future release.
My phone already offers POP and IMAP access, why should I use Consilient Push?
POP and IMAP continuously poll the server to check for the existence of new email. Consilient Push differs in that new email is "pushed" to the device and very little overhead is used to keep the connection alive to the server between emails. This results in lower amounts of data being used and then in turn lower data charges to the user from their carrier. Consilient Push is a much more cost effective way of retrieving your email.
Why don't I see a "Consilient Push" icon on my start menu?
Since Consilient Push uses Windows Mobile's native Outlook interface we have not provided a "Consilient Push" icon at this time. Simply launch Outlook from your mobile device and select the "Push" account
Why is that when I go into account settings in Outlook and change the message download options (eg. Only download for the last 3 days, only download headers), it seems to have no effect.
At this time these settings are not supported by Consilient Push. By default the message header plus 2 kB of data is downloaded for each message. If you wish to change how many days worth of messages to have displayed on your device at a time then please contact Consilient support to have your account updated.
When I install on my PocketPC device a security warning displays indicating that the application in from an unknown publisher. What should I do?
Simply select "yes" to allow the application to install and you will not see this warning again. This does not happen on SmartPhone devices
Why do some messages seem to be cut short and the entire message not displayed?
In order to keep data charges to you as low as possible, Consilient Push only downloads the message headers plus 2 kB of the message body for each email. In order to view more of your message, from the message's menu select "Download Message" and the next 1 kB of the message body will be download. This can be repeated as many times as desired or until the entire message has been downloaded.
Why do I need to tell Consilient Push to download the attachments I want to view? Can I have all attachments downloaded by default?
In order to prevent excessive data charges from your carrier, Consilient Push only downloads attachments requested by the user. This cannot not be changed at this time.
I'm currently with Fido, and have this nice setup where all my G-Mail gets sent directly to my Fido e-mail; and my fido mail gets sent to my phone via SMS. With an unlimited incoming plan this is a cheap way to stay up to date with you e-mails.

I think it adds a footer message to your outgoing email. I haven't seen any spam incoming, however, they claim they will be releasing a new stand alone client which I am expecting will have banner ads or something, hopefully we wont be FORCED to upgrade to that client, but who knows.
Ok thanks ill give it a go
thank you dear for your great help jeasbe

Hello Everyone,
I have a T-Mobile USA SDA and had a problem with emails on the device.
Not sure if it is working as designed or if there was a blug, so I thought I would float it by you guys.
Setup:
Mail client on T-Mobile USA SDA
Configured manually to check pop and send smtp with my gmail account. It is set such that the message headers are downloaded first.
I connect WIFI and send/recieve
I receive a header I had sent myself for testing
I click on it and select to download the message body.
I go back to the inbox.
I do send and receive.
I receive the message body.
I read it.
I go back to the inbox.
I do send and recieve.
Result:
The message is removed without a trace. it is not put into deleted items folder, nor does it remain in the inbox folder.
Is this expected behavior? I am not allowed to store mail on my device? Is there a registry setting to change this behavior? There is no options within the application. Is there a registry setting to change wheremails are stored in general? thanks for seeing the barrage of questions!
Yes I got the same result with you. Mine is a Dopod 577w (Tornado in Taiwan). This behaviour also happens to other mail servers.
ni hao,
I had searched a bit about it and found some places explain it. The explanation sounds weak, but it looks like something we will have to live with until either gmail or ms changes their server or client software.

The problem is with the default behaviour of Gmail - it will "hide" all the
already-downloaded mail. Unfortunately, it seems not even now that the beta
phase is long over can you effectively override this behaviour - the POP3
radio buttons just don't stick in the Settings window.
Therefore, the best solution IMHO is switching to an alternative e-mail
client that doesn't remove the messages that are not available online any
more from the local view. The alternative mailer clients FlexMail and Qmail
are like so - see the row "Does it only display mail that is still on the
server? " in the comparison chart of my mailer client roundup at
http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=569&more=1 . Of the two,
FlexMail offers scheduling capabilities.
PocketPC MAG:
Does it only display mail that is still on the server? : one of the most-criticized problems with Messaging is that it does not show older messages (messages that have been deleted in the meantime) in the Inbox unless you explicitly (mass-)move them to a separate folder. As can be seen, it's, in addition to Messaging, only nPOPw that deletes the messages from the local view that don't exist on the server any more. The other mailer applications don't.
I might just write a pop/smtp client software myself. Much easier to tweak it to do what I need it to do, and in my previous job I worked for an email client so I know those protocols well. I probably won't add advanced functionality or IMAP/Exchange, because I have no individual use for those.
Very Useful info.
My current solution to this issue is Outlook & ActiveSync. Just download your mail to PC and sync. Mail in mobile Outlook account will not disappear unless you delete them.
By the way, I think Gmail mobile website is also okay for mail browsing & composing.
(it is not a good experience posting reply here using Pocket IE)
I'd like to write a mail client using .NET CF just for fun if I have time. I'm not a C++ guy.
hi there!
just thought i'd share my 2 pence worth:
i use pocket outlook to access my gmail account, however the emails have a funny habit of "dissapearing" after being downloaded. this is probably due to gmail's automatic removal of downloaded emails.
as work around is stated here:
http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=47948
this will allow you to retain emails (both read and unread) from the last 30 days in your pop inbox. which should b ample time for you to decide what to and not to copy
in short:
instead of logging on using:
Code:
user
use instead:
Code:
recent:user
hope this helps someone.

Thank you !
you could also just switch from "get full copy of message" to "get message header only". enable the message body box and set to 999kb. that will keep messages on your mobile device indefinately.
i dont remember if that works or not for me - i usually download full messages as i hate having to connect twice (especially being on the w'n'w data plan )
now if only i spent the past week revising for tomorrow's exam rather then researching how to set up my pda...
doesn't seem to work for me. the downloaded email is still deleted after a send/receive
using pocket outlook on treo 750v
what settings do you have for: "Only display messages from the last XX days"?
(i'm now having the opposite problem... it seems that even after i've deleted a email, it comes back after a while )
tian
here are my settings
username recent:[email protected]
password: xxxxxxxx
only display messages from the: unchecked
require ssl connection: checked
outgoing mail req. authentication: checked
get full copy of messages
incoming: pop.gmail.com
outgoing: smtp.gmail.com
what settings do you have?
i've got the same except:
only display the messages from the last 3 days
btw. in my outlook options under storage i also have:
manually remove email
I also have delete items manually. I will try out 3 days and see what happens.
My account configuration is the same for both outlook and pocket outlook, except the username : it is my full gmail address for outlook contrary to pocket outlook which does have my full address with the "recent:" prefix...
Everything is working fine, I have all my mails retrieved in outlook and all my mail from the last 30 days in pocket outlook...
To prevent it from being deleted, make a sub Folder within Inbox, move all your wanted mails into the new folder, well, it will never be deleted. Hope this simple solution is helpful to all.
Hi,
Coming from a Windows Mobile device, I'm used to any email headers / part email that has been downloaded on my phone dissappearing (deleting) once it is no longer on my POP3 server.
Ie - It collects only the first 1kb header fine. If I wish to view the whole mail, i can choose to download the rest (which works). However, when my PC collects and removes the mail from the POP3 account, my windows mobile device when refreshed used to delete any part emails downloaded that were no longer on the POP3 server.
This way, my phone always showed (and only showed) non-collected mail. (Non collected meaning not yet collected on my PC).
Is there setting or method that I can use to have the same thing on my Android. I don't like the idea of having to delete (literally) hundreds of emails a week from my 'droid. I only want to view those not yet on my PC.
Thanks
Adza
From what I can tell it's not possible to do with the standard software.
I've tried K-9 and while it does what I want in that area, there's no option to download only xxx Kb.
I've installed a program from SEVEN (in BETA) which appears to have all the features, except that it's still in BETA, and it wants to send an SMS message to them everytime I add an account.
Sure is a nice app though.
Hey guys,
I'm on Windows phone temporarily while my HTC OneX is being fixed.
I'm having a frustrating problem with my email on a Nokia Lumia 610.
Using a POP account the windows phone downloads my emails without any problems. But, once I download the same emails on my PC, the windows Phone decides to remove(from the phone) the same emails rather than leaving copies like both Ios & Android. This is highly frustrating when forwarding Airline tickets or schedules you want to save for later reference. Today I missed a bus because of it. Thanks Microsoft
Anyone know how to fix it? The email settings seemed too dumbed down to be of any use.
Cheers.
First suggestion would be to use an email protocol that is merely old, instead of completely obsolete. POP3 is from the 80s, and it shows. Does your provider seriously not offer IMAP access? There are plenty of perfectly good and free emails providers which do... Some of them will even pull email from other inboxes for you.
Second suggestion, if you absolutely must use POP3, would be to make sure that both the phone and PC are configured to "Leave a copy of messages on the server" when downloading. My best guess as to what's happening is that your PC is configured to download and remove the messages from the server. Then, when your phone syncs with the server again, it sees that the messages it had previously downloaded were deleted from the server, so it deletes the local copies as well.
That's exactly what is happing. I just think its the wrong way. Even my old Nokia dumbphone from 5 years ago left copies of downloaded emails on the phone. As does the Iphone & Android.
Thanks for the help anyway. I don't think Imap is an option.
Gmail, as one example, supports IMAP (for free) and I believe it can retrieve mail from a POP3 server for you too (although I haven't tried). Alternatively, you may be able to set up your POP3 account to forward mail to a Gmail account. IMAP really is just a superior protocol.
Is there some reason you're not keeping the messages on the server after download? I guess I can see why you'd prefer that the phone not remove messages that were removed from the server, but given how little synchronization is possible in POP3 anyhow, I actually think that behavior is better than nothing (although perhaps it should be configurable and for some reason isn't).
I was able to switch to IMAP, but my WP is still deleting the mails after the PC downloads them. UGH.
If I let my PC email client leave the messages on the server, it will constantly re download them. (I think).
I'm sure this is a WP problem/oversight as multiple other devices work correctly.
If your PC email client constantly re-downloads message that it itself has chosen to leave on the server, you're using a truly outrageously bad email client! Even with POP3, it's quite possible for a client to list the messages on the server, and then only download the ones it doens't have. This is how all major email clients work (Outlook, Windows [Live] Mail, Thunderbird, Apple's Mail app, the WP7 email client, etc.) Even better, though, would be to also use IMAP on the PC client, as that way you could truly keep things in sync between the phone and the PC (for example, if you read a message on the phone, it would be makred as read on the PC when you got home, and if you send a message on the PC at home, it would be visible in the Sent Items folder on the phone too).
Let me start by saying I do nto want to spend 20$ on Touchdown.
Has anyone used this email app for their corporate emails? I am just wondering how secure it is and how I would talk my director into letting is be used if it keeps getting blocked my gmail as coming from Israel? I did email their support and here is an answer I received.
Dear Customer,
Please login to your Gmail account from PC browser and see if there is a warning about suspicious login attempt. Allow access from our server.
The instructions are inside Google warning.
Then long press on account record on main application screen and choose Send / Receive.
This is not a hacking attempt - it is an attempt of our service to communicate with your account.
Emoze designed to work as client - server. We do not save any information on our servers.They work as smart routers only. All data transferred only when device connects to collect new mail through encrypted tunnel.
If you have additional questions do not hesitate to ask.
I do like some of the options it gives me in Emoze, such as the ability to be notified when i get an email in one of my folders that is under my inbox...I have many folders set and I have rules set to send emails to them, in the stock email app it will not send me a notification when I get emails to those folders.
So, my question is, what are your thoughts on this app and would you use it for work?
Why not use K9 mail with APG encryption?
