I have tried another email push service for pocket pcs. it is called Pocket X-Press. you can access your pop3 and imap4 mail server and get a realtime push without checking from device in an interval.
you can download a trial version for wm 2003 and 2005 under: www.pocketxpress.com
has anybody experience made with this?
Does either the v1605 or Windows Mobile 5 come as standard with a Blackberry type "push" email client ?
Whilst I'm looking for this device to replace my own 2020i, I'm now thinking that it could replace the Blackberry the office gave me too if it comes with a push email client.
Thanks
Steven
Not one apparent on my v1605

My V1605 doesn't appear to come with any sort of Blackberry specific client, just the usual Exchange Push E-mail via Activesync.
This is listing a blackberry client for the Vodafone VPA III compact - I got to it from a microsoft site - want to try it?

Hi
Can sombody let me know how i can get email direct from my exchange server please?

Not 100% sure of the ins and outs, but exchange 2003 has to have SP2.
Also, check this http://thelazyadmin.com/index.php?/archives/409-Configuring-Direct-Push.html
Might help!
Good luck!
Hi,
forget the native MS Push, try OLX Mobile Access from www.gangl.de. Been using this since 2005 and had no probs at all. Absolutely recommended !
This really depends how you want to sync your e-mail. If you want Push, you will need to have exhange server 2003 with SP2 install and have WM5 with Push technology. If you just want to download e-mail everytime you connect your device to the internet, you can do it with any version of exchange 2003 and almost any version of windows mobile.
Also, to get e-mail directly fro your exchange server will depends on your server settings. But you will at least require the following informaton:
1) Server address
2) Username (this does not necessary be the same as your e-mail address, it is the actual username that let you log onto exchange server. Usually it will be the same username as your Outlook Web Access for Exchange 2003)
3) Password (for the above username)
4) Domain (this domain is necessary or else your pocket pc will not be able to access the proper location where your e-mail is located)
Once you have all of the above information, you can either set it up on Active Sync on your PC or on your PPC. To do it on PPC, open Active Sync, Menu, Configure Server... enter all of the above information (remember to click SSL encryted if your server is encryted {most likely it will be}). Then go back to Active Sync, Menu, Options... change all of the data that you want to get from exchange server (ie: Contacts, Calendar, etc). Now you are all set. You just need to connect your device to the internet, open Active Sync, click on the Sync button, it will automatically fetch the information from your server. For Push to work, simply leave your internet connect open, go to your Comm Manager, make sure the Push symbol is Green (or On). Your e-mail will automatically be downloaded to your PPC once it arrive to the server. I will not leave Push on if you are using GPRS or HSDPA as e-mail send to your mobile device will not have been SPAM filtered (unless your server admin has the SPAM filter turn on but it is unlikely as this will restriction user control, normally SPAM is filter by client software like Office on PC), so your internet connect charges can ge quite big!
Anyway, hope this will help. Ciao.

One more note, if you are using Vista, it is about 100 times easier... you just need to have your Microsoft Office Outlook setup to connect to your Exchange server and it will automatically know what settings needed to put onto your pocket PC :O)
And setting it up on Outlook could be quite easy as well if your Exchange Server has auto-configure utilities to download (ie: allow you to download the .prf files for your account profile and you can just import that to Outlook and everything will be automatically setup.). Hope this help and not too too complicated for you.

Hi folks,
you don't need exchange. Although i have one, i mentioned OLX Mobile Access which also supports MS Outlook without Exchange, it's called OLX Mobile Access Personal. You can download a 30 days trial.
And you should, for this one is really cool. It even supports Outlook Notes !
Setup and configuration is in english, so don't mind the german website.
Gents,
i can not run Gmail on my HTC.
What i mean is that the website works fine but i can not install the Java Applet to use Gmail faster and smarter.
Anyone has the same problem?
How to sort it out?
thanks
Why not configure the outlook on your PDA to connect whith IMAP to the gmail server?
could be a solution
but i like the "gmail" inbox format to manage mails.
in any case i will try also imap
There are apps for the threaded view in outlook for WM6, and if I remember correctly WM 6.1 supports it natively...
i don't want to be boring but i can't understand why this f.... htc could not download this aplet:
Could some one try?
Just open this link from the mobile gmail.com/app
Answer: HTC products aren't simple phones that need ****ty JAVA apps to access services... And I'm sure as hell I wouldn't want to use a JAVA app for checking my mail, when the Pocket Outlook does a great job. Also there was no JAVA enviroment included until WM6 came (and some WM5 distributions).
btw, it is working for me....
gmail java app => solution
Hello, i'm french, so sorry for my english.
I had a problem with gmail too, but i tried a solution and it was a success.
I downloaded "opera mini" (java app).
i launched "opera mini" and used it to download gmail app.
The default file that is downloaded from the gmail site is a *.jad file, this file contains information about the the actual program file (*.jar), like where is it found, size, author,...
If you open the *.jad file whith the included JAVA enviroment, it should automatically download the *.jar file and install it. Through the installation it should ask about internet connections, and about access priviliges.
Also applets that use the web connection need to be confirmed each time they want to connect.
The method of how do you download the *.jad file shouldn't matter, because the JAVA enviroment App handles it, not the browser....
SORTED OUT
the problem is the Italian version of the Applet Java.
I have tried the english version and works fine.
VERY GOOD!!!
I don't understand why people go with Java apps when there's an alternative PPC app that will do the same thing.
For example users in the US/UK that install Google Maps over Microsoft Live Search. I'm all for Google products, but credit is given where credit's due, and Live Search absolutely kills Google Maps.
I've tried using GMail through my WM device before and the reason why i don't use it is that when I send an E-Mail to someone I always get a copy of what i just sent arriving in my inbox again. it's annoying, the Java Client is much better.
Then leave the POP3 configuration and use IMAP

It has only advantages over the POP3, more secure, more functions,...
GMail WM Push & SFR...
Hi guys !
Has anyone found a solution to create a "Push mode" on GMAIL mobile ? My problem is that with the SFR contract (Illimythics), the web can only be accessed on http (wap SFR) => & therefore, you can't setup a classic Outlook/Pop mailbox.
You're then obliged to use a GMAIL app. but :
1) with the standard configuration, each time GMAIL connects to the Internet, you'll need to allow it (first message "MIDIet Gmail pas fiable needs to send & receive..." bla bla; and then ""Yes, but ask me at next session")
2) You have each time to refresh your mailbox manually...
So many clicks simply to get your e-mails..
Thanks for your help !

There isn't a Push Mail option for GMAIL (like whith exchange mail servers), also I'm not form France, but are you sure about neither POP3 nor IMAP protocolls available for you, only HTTP/HTTPS?
Gmail and Push
Hi,
I´ve been using Gmail push with seven (community.seven.com) and also with mobipush.com
Both work very well for me. And push is in real time.
I just thought it could be interesting to let you know.
I, for one, don't like to use a 3rd party for syncing my emails...
I use GMAILs IMAP whith SSL (can't even use it otherwise...), whith a 5 minut check interval... works like a dream....
How long does the battery last with a constant data connection?
1,2-1,5 days
Hi everybody !
I'm trying to develop an app that has an "auto" sending mail feature.
I want that when the user push a button, the mail is sent via the app itself and not via the mail or gmail app...
So, my code works fine but I have a problem with the smtp protocol.
Concerning the french internet providers (I'm french ), we can use any smtp via wifi but if we use the gsm network, we need to use the smtp of the gsm provider. To handle this problem, I have used a little tip. I can recover the gsm operator with getNetworkName() and as in France, all smtps are like smtp.xxx.fr, I just had to replace the "xxx" by the operator's name.
But for the other countries, I don't know how it works....
Does anybody has an idea to handle this problem with a complete solution for all countries?
Thank you !
