Anyone using Mail2Web for Exchange having problems? I have been unable to sync since 10AM Central (American). Is anyone else having issues? It just says "Synchronizing" and gives no errors.
Changed Service Palns
They are changing service. The Mail2Web BASIC, their new free service, does not include PUSH E-mail. Unfortunately you'll have to upgrade to keep PUSH. I did, I can't live without it and I like the new interface and the quality of their service. Visit their website and it will be explained in greater detail.

This may be old news to some but new news to others.
As you may know your WM5 and WM6 device can do a wireless sync with Exchange and offers blackberry style 'push' email.
To do this you need a configured Exchange server and for most this can be expensive or impossible to do yourself.
But there is hope, and its free.
www.mail2web.com offers FREE hosted exchange email. The only thing is you get a little add banner along the top but apart from that its corporate style exchange for free. Whats more it comes with OWA enabled also free of charge.
You can even set it to pull email from other POP3 email accounts.
You can access your mail via the web or POP3/IMAP4 clients.
For around 80p a month you can upgrade to their Plus service, this allows you to have the outgoing FROM: address to be your own. For me I use it to send mail from my personal domain.
So the upgrade is well worth it given the other extra features you get.
But take a look at the free service. I first switched a while ago as ntlworld.com has really crap webmail. So got a free account and just forwarded it all to mail2web.com for full outlook wonder.
I think this is a useful tip as I couldnt find anyone else offering free push enabed services.
alternative
Since this service is goint to cost next month, does anyone have a alternative?
I tried windows live, but it doesnt push emails instantly nor does ita have calender and contacts synchronisation :/
I've been trying to find a good new solution as well.
I'm currently trying out emoze, which is an app that allows you to configure push email (with certain service providers). It WORKS, but it doesn't allow full folder sync with gmail, so it's not quite as useful as true push from my IMAP gmail account would be.
seven is another.
I tried mail2web and was unimpressed though all our domains are there now. It wouldn't push html email.
I'd search out a provider that offers IMAP idle but Flexmail is the only app on the WM side to support it.
I am having multiple problems with Mail2Web and I am looking for responses as to who is also experiencing the same.
1. Server Busy errors in ActiveSync on my Windows Mobile device(s).
2. "My Email Settings" in Mail2Web's OWA is not working or is extremely slow.
3. PST Exporting is not working.
I have three trouble tickets in with them for all of these problems and they are not being very helpful. This has been going on for a week now and I'm starting to get the impression that they don't care. I am a Personal Exchange paying customer.
I'm having problems receiving push email on a free account, but everything else seems to be working. It might have been after upgrading to WM 6.1 though, and not Mail2Web.
Same here.
Since some days it works only seldom.
I seem to be having the same problem. I just upgraded to WM 6.1 and I entered in my mail2web Personal Exchange info for ActiveSync, and it works only for downloading my messages onto my device. But I just tried to compose and send a new message using my device and it's just stuck at Connecting....
Any ideas?

If you guys are looking to switch...feel free to hit me up. I offer Exchange 2007 account. Feel free to take a look at the thread in my signature to see what I offer.
hello everyone,
i tried out mail2web a few days ago and i cant imagine its completely free.
I'm a bit confused that mail2web might sell the data i've synced with their exchange server to some advert / spam companies...
does anyone of you know something about mail2web or is using it on regular basis for mail / contact sync? and why the ... is it free?
Its free assuming you dont want any of the extra features, the ability to change the return address being the one i have learnt to live without. I have been using it for some time now and have had no spurious emails from anyone.
They do have several variants if you are prepared to pay the money and need any the features from the latest version of Exchange. There may be other extras i just haven't looked into them.
You might as well ask, how do Microsft, Google, Yahoo, and others, manage to offer free email, disk space and so on.
If you are looking for an alternative push email solution try Seven Beta. They do push email from other peoples accounts and allow you to send from the relevant account. I am also using this to collect Hotmail, Gmail and a business POP3 account.
I just wanted to make an announcement for anyone looking to achieve Push gmail Nuevasync is now offering Push Contacts, Gmail, Calendar.
They charge 25.00 for the upgrade to Gmail with full support. and they offer up to 50 something calendars.
I don't work for Nuevasync. Just thought I would let everyone know.
Their site lists email as "coming soon." They only say it currently syncs Gmail's calendar and contacts, something you can ALREADY do for free simply by entering m.google.com as an Exchange server.
official blog post from nuevasync here.
hopefully google will add this to their own mobile sync features.
I have been using the service for a little over a month now (I was selected to help with testing) The service works surprisingly well. They are currently working out some kinks ... but great service overall.
Focusedonsound, how's the drain on battery life with Nuevasync gmail-push enabled?
I use the open source IMAP Pusher Service. Freeware, no special server-end services.
is it just me or it doesn't support html?
No HTML support for now
It will be coming soon.
I have to say this is a great service for only $20 for a year. No third party addons, it just uses active sync as if you were using an exchange server. Its great.
I originally thought i would never pay for a service like this, but this is great value for money and the support on their forums is great.
A* service
Hello,
I just purchased the G2X with the understanding that it supports exchange corporate email. When I try to setup the email, I get the error "this server requires security features your phone does not support". I have tried checking both of the security certificate boxes and confirmed that I am entering the right address.
Does the phone support Exchange? My company uses Exchange 2007.
Thanks for your help,
Lance
The built in mail client is pretty bad for exchange tbh. My particular issue was that it could not let me see the contents of most of my folders. I've started using touchdown for exchange, it has a free 30 day trial and is much better.
I saw options for exchange 2007 when installing it so hopefully it supports your company's security policy. It does and auto detect of server config on initial setup.

Exchange works fine for me here. You might want to check with your IT department. If there is anything wrong with the way they setup OWA or what ever it is called to access exchange over the web, then you might have issues.
Yup, Exchange works fine for me. It uses DAV over OWA instead of true ActiveSync, but only WinMo supports REAL ActiveSync anyway. In practice you really can't tell the difference.
I also use touchdown for exchange. It's pretty nice and also you get 90 day trail if you download from amazon app store.

Exchange 2007 works here
We use hosted exchange 2007 at our company and the stock app works for me as well. +1 for talking to your IT department or trying Touchdown.
They'll need to enable support for non-provisionable devices on the Exchange server for the ActiveSync policy assigned to you. Or you can go with Touchdown as suggested as Touchdown has a better ActiveSync implementation than the stock client.
