[Resolved] Question about POP3 Mail - General Questions and Answers

Hi there,
I live in the UK, and my email provider is TalkTalk (link), It uses POP3 to download the emails to MS Outlook 2010.
I want to set my emails up to work with my mobile device (HTC Hero) using POP3. If I set this up with the built in mail client, and let my emails come through on my mobile device - will I still be able to get these emails on my PC as well? I'm not sure if it will only let me access the same emails on both devices.
Thanks,
Alex
EDIT: Never mind, i've found it out myself now.

Push email (O2 UK)

I have my polaris setup with my @o2.co.uk email account and it works well. Instead of setting outlook to check for new messages every 30 mins or so I would like to get push email working. What do people recommend? In the comm manager, the microsoft push email option is greyed out
Thanks

I'm hoping to use push with Exchange 6.5, is this viable over O2?
Push emails are only available on exchange 2003 onwards, as it's a microsoft technology. You can use push emails with a windows live account using the windows live program

We are using Exchange 2003, so fingers crossed.

o2.co.uk only supports POP3 email protocol which is not compatible with Push email. Only the MS Exchange protocol supports Push.
You can setup O2 email to auto-forward to an MS Exchange acount if you have one available.
If you don't have MS Exchange already you could look at BT Business Email (£7.50 + VAT per month) or mail2web.com Personal Exchange (€4.95 per month).
Or you could use Emoze - free for personal use
Works well on my TC
Why don't you use HTC mail? easy set up in less than 2 minutes and you can access all your POP3 IMAP mail as well.

I had a look at emoze but I cant find a version to push pop3 for the HTC range. When I go to the website all of the phones avaiable for pop3 push are Nokias, an LG and a Samsung.
just access the mobile emoze site (m.emoze.com) and you be able to download the client. another option is to use mobipush it doesn't install any client uses activesync.
I use mail2web. You just forward all your other email accounts to it, and they appear in your mail2web account which is push email. There is a free version of this, and it's very good. That's the one I use. Been using it for over 6 months without a hitch.

Send mails from "Outlook E-mail" account

Hello,
Is it possible to send mails from the "Outlook E-mail" account which is synchronized with my Outlook from Windows mobile phone ? When I want to answer to a mail, it is saved in outbox and then after next sync my Outlook sends it. so i always have to use my own configured mail account there. and answering on a mail from "Outlook E-mail" is not possible...
Hi,
for doing this, you need to configure your mobile device to fetch e-mail directly from your isp's mailaccount via pop3 or imap. that's something completely different from active sync.
be aware, if you configure pop3 you need to leave a copy of the mail on the mailserver for pop3 downloads messages. in that case you'll get your mails only on one device (mobile OR pc/notebook). the solution would be imap.
so you need to configure your mobile device just like your outlook account on you pc/notebook (server, username, password).
Plus, you'll need to have a look on your data transfer. if you access you mailaccount directly, the mails charge your dataplan. so take care of size limitations while configuring your mobile device (only headers prob, and limit size of attachments unless you do not want to download huge mails).
Hope this helps,

No other way?
I have my outlook account, synchronised with all mail downloaded at the office and an imap account to retrieve emails on the go. As the imap account is cleared after office download, there is no archive inside. Both accounts are linked to the same email address.
I would like to be able to work on my mails (outlook account) and then send replies thanks to the imap account.
In office 2007 there is an option to enable you to select the account to be used for repling or sending emails. No such option in WM6?
Thanks
Michel
Ps. On top anyway to retrieve several emails accounts in one go?
I think you are looking to sync your company email. You will need your IT dept to set up Exchange for you to do this:

Thanks.
Sadly I'm not using a Microsoft Exchange Server.
Outlook is directly retrieving emails from my imap server (sync with my Kaiser). When I'm roaming, I retrieve mails on the imap server directly.
I'm not able to reply to mails previously sync (outlook account) when I'm not at the office - This is an issue as I'm consultant and I stay days without coming back to my home base.
Thanks for your help
Michel
Message up.
Sorry & Thanks
hey man i hated that too i thought that m$ didnt make this a thing you can do out the box.. just download emoze or another similar app that will push everything to your phone and from your phone to your comp.. if i were you when you do this dont have it push your contacts because when you plug in to active sync it doubles
Thanks - I will give it a try.
But it is weird it is not possible to select the account to be used when sending/replying to emails.
I tried to copy/past my answer from my outlook (sync) account to my roaming one and this is not even working.
Any other idea?
Thx
M
No solutions?
Maybe using another email client?
thx

pocket outlook is gimped without exchange... also, exchange 2003 has push enabled if it's up on service pack but lacks html email and some other instant sync capabilities that 2007 has...
if i didn't setup my own server i would def say paying for hosted exchange is worth it... ive messed with all those other sync/push clones but nothing comes anywhere near to the functionality/ease-of-use of having direct sync with exchange.
I will check for an hosted exchange server.
As a temp solution I will try FlexMail 2007: It is possible to reply to sync mail with another account.

Would this fix your problem? Set Outlook on your PC to "Leave a copy of messages on the server", and have your Kaiser retrieve all your messages from the IMAP server directly, whether you're in the office or not. If the Kaiser is connected via ActiveSync, it will use your PC's internet connection anyway, so no extra network charges.
That way all your emails are in one account on the Kaiser, and you could even turn off Outlook mail syncing in ActiveSync and reply directly to emails from the IMAP account on the Kaiser.
If you can't find "Leave a copy of messages on the server" in Windows Outlook, on my version (Outlook 2003) it's under Tools/Email Accounts/View or Change/Change/More Settings/Advanced (well hidden).
Can't confirm this option is there for IMAP - I use POP3 myself.

I haven't done too much looking at exchange hosting solutions but I think $10/month is the minimum you'll find... mail2web appears to have good hosting solutions.. you can try out their free service but it requries you to use their email address unless you upgrade to the $10/month plan.

Email Questions

First - thanks to everyone at xda for all the tips and help - what a great site!
Now don't laugh when I say that I have a T-Mobile (Danger) Sidekick. I have been happy with it but I want to replace my SK and my Pocket PC with one device instead of two.
With my Sidekick, I got a separate [email protected] account. My email came through without me checking it and I could also receive and send from some other accounts (like my personal earthlink account) The email came through without me having to check for it. (I don't know of it was push or pull but it works quite well)
I am seriously considering getting a Fuze but have some questions about email:
1 - Does AT&T give you a separate email address?
2 - I have read that I can get my personal earthlink as well as gmail and yahoo mail on the Fuze but do I need to have AT&T's "express mail" to get it?
Thanks so much.
To my knowledge, at&t doesnt give you an email address. You could use gmail with the gmail app or through opera, but im not sure if theres an app that would work with the touchflo 3d tab. If you have a live account you can use windows live mail and that does work with the tf3D tab. Im not sure about earthlink or gmail though. Hope that helps.
att gives you an email address, but it's *your phone number*@att.mywireless.com or something like that.
you can also get a media net email address.
with the fuze, my yahoo mail is pushed to my phone at the sametime it appears in my web browser (if i am online at the time)
i also have active synch synch up to my corporate exchange server email using https
Thanks for the replies.
I don't have an AT&T account (yet) and I do not use Outlook for email so I am unfamiliar with both.
I still don't understand: what exactly does AT&T's "express mail" do? Will I need it in order to get my earthlink mail on a Fuze? I know I can check mail through the web browser but will the WM email client receive my earthlink email automatically or do I have to manually check for it?

Question about using smtp to send work mail

Hi,
I'm quite confident I used to use the gmail smtp (or another mail) to send mail from my student account outside the student network (where the student smtp didn't work).
I'm trying to do the same for my work mail at the moment.
What I want to do is use my gmail smtp to reply to work related mail. The work mail comes into my windows mobile device through IMAP, but when I reply (using gmail smtp) I want to have the reply to automatically to my work email. At the moment I have no idea why it doesn't do that, any idea where I should look?
TIA
Moved as not software release..
