I'm having an issue with outlook send/receive
I setup my pocket outlook to sync my gmail imap account and set it up to sync every 5 min.
Thing is it's so inconsistent, sometimes it's sends/receives with no issues. after about a day it will do it every 30 min most of the time after that it won't unless i do a few reboots/soft resets.
I would love to have push e-mail maybe that would fix the issue, but I'd be happy if the F'ing MS software would actually do what's it told for once!!!!!
I'd be happy with send/receive every 5 mins, but at least make it consistent.
Am I doing something wrong?? Has anyone exp this issue?
If so how did you fix it?
How do you get your mail?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

www.win.alol.net.br go there and get a free exchange service(pushmail) forward your gmail to Alol. You will never regret it. Sync ever 5 minutes cost alot of battery and data. Beside mostly it doesnt function (as you said)
Yip thats one way.
Two others would be to 1 use live mail (microsoft) that works well, or 2 use a pop3 mail account. I use all 3 (push email too) and all work well for me
I heard some peeps have probs with gmail....
Good luck.
Thanks for the replies guys....
I really would love MS to make a complete product for once..
Is it really that hard?
Apple, Google, Palm, Nokia all make reliable stuff why can't MS??
I really don't wanna use some third party app or forward my e-mail to another service I just want it to work...
Maybe I'm asking too much out of WiMo all I know is that I've had it, I really miss my TREO!!!!!!!!!!
Anyway I will continue my search and post back if I find anything.
If anyone else has any input please let me know.
Thx again for you input it's appreciated

...I've been using IMAP to get my gmail. But I have a serious problem!
Unlike activesync push email, I can't find a setting to restrict the times the phone checks for email. This is a problem, because it wakes me up at random times with spam or newsletter emails!
Other than muting the phone before bed, which might cause me to miss an emergency phone call, what can I do?
Try Seven Beta, they do push for Gmail and all the others as well.
Or try Windows Live (forward gmail to Live).
Seven doesn't require you to forward it anywhere, and it will work for your Live account as well.
the only thing is Seven doesn't work . Really, i have been trying all day, and sometimes it can't "communicate with base", emails never come or come 10 minutes later... It has been a blast for me. They did sent me an email that they had a problem, i guess their problem still continues.

They have been having server issues recently, it is all detailed on the forum. It is only to be expected from a Beta product that there will be issues form time to time. Before anyone asks i have no connection to them apart from being a fairly satisfied end user.
I think the best thing to do is create a Live account (microfot) and redirect by copying automaticaly all your mail from all your accounts to this new one.
Like live use http connection, you can have a free push mail service.
And i tried seven beta but it uses lot of ressources and when I'm in the Metro "The french tube", i've not always the network. Then if he can't connect just one time, i have to re-write my password.
How's the battery when using live.com push service? Currently I'm using mail2web, I'm not sure why my account still works altough I'm not paying for it. The battery life so far is very good. But when using seven, it seems the battery drains faster than using exchange for push mail.
I use the SEVEN email program to have my Yahoo mail sent to my phone. It's great, free, etc., etc. The one thing I want to do is change how often it checks for new mail. My Touch Pro's battery dies pretty quickly so I'm doing everything I can to minimize the drain on it. There's nothing in the settings to dictate a time frame(say every 2 hours), only a way to set certain days to manual check. I have it set for manual check everyday until I can figure this out. Was hoping someone might know their way around the SEVEN registry entries. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Pretty sure this isn't possible as the whole purpose of SEVEN is to provide Push email.
You can try using yahoo mobile or use some other email account and forward your yahoo mail to say a POP3 account.
As said above Seven is designed to provide realtime push email. It also says on their site that to enable this to happen the software maintains an open GPRS connection to their servers at all times unless you use the weekends/night sleep options.
I have been using it successfully for some time now and while it does run the battery down it is a small price to pay for free push mail from many accounts while keeping all the accounts distinct.
Bought the Captivate over the Iphone4 but I'm having second thoughts. I like almost everything about it. I'm confident the gps issue will get resolved. As far as 2.2, who knows. My biggest problem is with the email. I've set up hotmail and when I go to retrieve my messaged it's a very slow process. Sometimes several minutes to retrieve 5 or 6 messages. If there is an attachment, the pinwheel will spin for ten minutes and says loading. Wi-Fir or 3g doesn't seem to matter. Sometimes it will download the file/photo or part of it, sometimes not. The ATT store thinks it's software and doesn't want to exchange the phone. Customer service best solution is to clear the cache/cookies daily. It helps some but isn't the solution. They said some phones are better than others regarding email. If I open hotmail it the browser it works/downloads fine. Any help would be appreciated.
Also, any way to change the alarm tone in the calendar? Hopefully I can get these issues resolvedbecause I really don't want an Iphone. Thanks.
Sounds to me like Hotmail is just slow on the IMAP/POP3 protocol. Have you tried it with a different mail provider like Yahoo or Gmail to see if they are all slow or if it is just Hotmail?
I switched to k-9 mail (free app) and I have less trouble with my different emails
Maybe you could try it?
I've also tried Gmail with the same results.
Hi
My Htc Pro 7 (one week old) seems to pretend that it is syncing. It only takes 2 to 3 seconds over Wifi but it doesn't bother downloading new messages.
My (only) email account on the phone is a Blueyonder account (powered by Google). The initial set up went off and collected the account info.
I have turned off SSL and deleted the port numbers from the SMTP and POP settings.
Reentering the username and password convinced it to download the rest of yesterdays emails but not the test one I just sent myself or the others that are on the server.
Outllok 2007 is set to leave copies on the server for 10 days and over the years WM and Symbian handsets have not experienced this problem.
Any suggestions?
Tnx
Since re-entering the username password- the phone is set to look every 15 minutes and ever hour or so it seems to go off- ask if there are any new messages and then download the odd one without bothering to do download the rest...
Am I really the only person who has a mailbox that is at least a day behind???
I guess I am going to have to reset the phone, and lose all my texts etc.
Nice one MuppetSoft!!! By removing our rights to tweak things you have also prevented us from fixing things ourself. Please stop trying to be Apple.
Sometimes the same thing would happen when I hard reset my phone and set up my Hotmail account for the first time. E-mails don't download even though I can clearly see them on my PC. After a couple hours though, it fixes itself and my e-mails appear regularly, and at times, I get alerts to my phone even faster than I would on my computer.
Maybe give it a jump start by using your phone to compose, send, deleted, etc. Otherwise if it still isn't working, then it may be bugged and a hard reset may be in your future.
Thanks for the reply prjkthack
I can send emails without any problems. I have only had the phone just over a week and I am pretty sure that on day one it was working properly. I only noticed the issue a couple of days after the Nodo update- not sure if there is a relation or not.
I guess I will have to wait until i have a day off work before i can prepare for a hard reset. Being undiciplined i tend to leave client contact details in the form of text messages, rather than saving them to contacts.
odder and odder....
it has finally managed to catch up and is now up to date.
I have not made any changes/restores.
Lets hope it stays that way.
Now all I need is my Dev account to be approved so that I can play with mango.
Just bumping my own thread.
The problem returned.
UNTIL I remembered that my Virgin (blueyonder) email account (powered by Google) needs to be in the following format recent:[email protected]
I am such a wanker and should have remembered sooner!!!!
I guess it is a timeout issue, ordinarily the email client asks the server if there are any messages- the server responds "sure about 10000", the email client says "sod that, I'm not cross referencing your list with the ones i am already aware of -I'm off".
With the addition of recent: it only asks for the emails received in the last week or two.
Hopefully the above will be of help to someone else in the near future
Almost every message I get with the built in email app using Microsoft ActiveSync with my office Exchange server comes 5-10 minutes after the message's time-stamp. Coming from the iPhone 4S & Galaxy Nexus where every message was delivered within seconds, this is becoming a major concern. The GMail app is better (though not perfect) as messages usually arrive within a minute. I tried playing with the settings in the Email app and made sure that push was activated for both peak and off peak hours but the issues remains. Does anyone else have these issues and if so, is there any way to fix it? Thanks in advance.

I've struggled to fix this as well. The only advice i've gotten was to try a 3rd party app. I still have my e-mail setup on my old iPhone and my iPad, both get the e-mails pushed within a second of each other. My HOX can vary between 5-45 mins before it gets delivered. I have several exchange e-mails, all of them exhibit the same thing. I have a similar experience on my HP tablet that is running CM9. Judging by the number of threads that have complained about this, it seems that iOS simply handles Activesync better than Android. I'm still enjoying everything else about the HOX.

Can't be an Android thing being as my Galaxy Nexus was just as good as, if not better than, my iPhone.

I really hope so, hopefully a fix can be found soon.
there is nothing to fix, it's a feature called SmartSync.
Go to Email setting, sync schedule change it Push, default is SmartSync.
More frequent you open email app, the more frequent the sync.
Check your sync settings. HTC uses a couple different things with Sync to improve battery life. One of them is peak hours. It'll push during "peak hours" and then switch to every 2 hours outside of them. They also have a smart-sync setting that I believe will sync more frequently in relation to how often you open and close the actual Mail app.
Check those settings first.
Thanks, i double checked everything and both peak and off peak are both set to Push. The phone isn't throwing any errors nor is exchange management console. I'll see how it performs today and give an update. So far this morning it has been pushing pretty consistently.
As I said in my OP, both peak and off-peak are set to push and NOT smartsync. That's not the issue.
I've gotten it to recieve @ about 5 minutes but that's as good as it gets for now...
side note I've gotten some really good LTE numbers in ATL... 42mbps
Go and get Touchdown in the market.
Problem solved.
I had to disable the Gmail app completely for my Gmail account to work with Microsoft exchange through the email app.
It was giving me errors with my syncing but I had to use google due to the play store etc.

Yeah I'm having problems with my gmail account as well. When I check to see if its synced it shows a red circle and apparently the sync isn't working so it's not just about push email its the syncing to google account. Not sure what the problem is. Im thinking it has something to do with the WiFi connection. It might break and its causing interruption in the sync

I'm going to try leaving it on LTE for a little while...I have a feeling it might be an issue with the Wifi connection when the screen is off.
I'm experiencing a delay, as well. It's almost like Smartsync is still on even when it's off. My delays have been in the realm of a minute in most cases, but it's frustrating to hear new e-mails come in on my iPad and other phones and have this one get them last. It's such a great phone and this is such an important feature.
Quick update...If you go to your advanced wifi settings there is an option for Best Wifi Performance that is off by default. Since I enabled that, my push notifications seem to be coming in more quickly. I need to give it some more time to know for sure but so far so good!

This is what I did. So far, it's working 100%.
Please know, this will only work if you DON'T use the Gmail app.
1. Factory wiped the phone. Once started up, do not add your Google account yet.
2. Go into Settings and Apps and disable all your bloatware while you're here and make sure you disable the Gmail app. When you get out of it, it'll reload Sense. After this, go ahead and reboot your phone to be safe.
3. Now go ahead and go to Settings and Accounts and add your Google account. With Gmail disabled, it will not sync your email. Your choice if you want to sync Contacts.
4. Next, setup your Gmail via Microsoft Exchange via server method. Email and Username is your full email address. Leave Domain blank. The server address is m.google.com
5. When finished, set it up Push Email and not Smart Sync. If you did not sync your Contacts via Google, you can do it here also. Same with Calendar and Tasks.
Done!

I think you might actually be onto something. So far, I have been getting e-mails pretty consistently after modifying this setting. It will be interesting to see how much it impacts battery life.
Anyone try K-9 Mail? I've been using that for a long time through several Android devices, push mail always works perfectly.

K-9 is not working for me, but Gmail is. haven't tried changing anything yet, just hopped on to see.
Really need some reliable push email. Might ditch K-9 and see if the native client works, but k-9 worked so great on the SGS2, I went to it straight away.
I'm also having push problems using the native gmail app. I posted in the other thread so won't repeat here but just wanted to check in in case somebody from HTC or att is reading these threads.
