The minimum interval for pulling mail form the server in WM6 seems to be fifteen minutes.
Is there a possibility to decrease this interval to, let's say, 1 minute?
I can't find a registry key or initiation file for this value.
I don't know if there's a registry key, but other mail applications can be changed to 1 minute or more, but...
Why not use http://live.mail2web.com or http://www.port88.org and get a free push mail account.
Uses less data than constantly checking a mail account, and you will get an email almost instantly.
Just forward your existing mail account to either of those accounts, and cinfigure your device for that.
Then you also have the advantage of all your contacts, mail, calendar events, and notes being backed up on a server.
i have some doubts about the push using less data...
for example: with push my battery will last 1 day with 5min check it will last 2 days. GPRS is always on on both cases
pushmail has already been tried, but tends to be slow compaired to the outlook 15 minute-interval.
Is it possible to be notified of new e-mails arriving in just one account if you have multiple email accounts set up on your WM 6.1 device? On my Touch Pro, I have two email accounts configured. One is my activesync work account and the other is a gmail account which gets polled every 15 minutes. I only want a notification to play when a new message arrives in my gmail account, but not when one arrives in my work account which receives upwards of 150 messages a day! My phone would never shut up if I enable notifications for this account.
Thank you for your time!
I have VZW TP2 and I use an exchange server to sync my email, contacts, calendars and tasks across my mobile phone, desktop and laptop.
For some reason, on this phone, it doesn't update certain things that I've done of my desktop or laptop for a while. I even manually go into active sync and click "sync now" and it doesn't update.
For example, if I'm on my desktop or laptop and I delete a message in my inbox, it won't update on my phone until it receives another message. Even if I click "send & recieve" in Outlook on my desktop/laptop and then manually click sync on my TP2, the email won't dissapear until another message is received. Also, today I deleted a calendar appointment on my laptop (which was for today) and even after many syncs on both my laptop outlook and on my TP2 via active sync/send recieve etc, the appointment is still showing up on the homepage screen and in my calender.
Anyone ideas?
I am having trouble with mine syncing as well. In Activesync, I get an error saying something about the server not being able to be reached. It may be an intermittent connection problem. It was working fine up until a few days ago. Also, make sure in your Schedule in Activesync is set to 'As Items Arrive'.
I had a problem with syncing then realized from some dumb reason the default option on off hours was manual sync and not "push", after making that change my issue stopped.
this is not a question of configurationi...
i have activesync set up for as items arrive in peak AND off peak. all days are checked, and for safe measure - peak time is from 12a to 11:59pm. so i'm covered there.
BUT i have the same delay issue. i can sent a test email from another email account on my deskto TO the exchange inbox on my device. i will watch it arrive almost instantly to the web portal of that same exchange inbox...but wait 10, 15, sometimes 20 minutes for the device's activesync to "wake up" and decide to sync on its own to retrieve that test message.
totally ridiculous.
yes, it is "push", but it's CLEARLY not instand (or even "immediate") push. certainly not comparable to a blackberry (which i despise and refuse to use).
so far, htc, verizon, and my hosted exchange company have been unable to offer a solution. i'm told, "a 5 to 10 minute delay is totally acceptable when using activesync exchange".
that is totally UNACCEPTABLE in the professional world.
i would go back to using goodlink (as i did with my old xv6800, befoe upgrading to the tp2), but it doesn't work well with touchflo 3d. and to be honest, what's the sense of using the tp2 if you can't enjoy the the new interface?
anyone have any suggestions? can this be fixed??????
The delay in syncing emails getting deleted is common. I don't know this for sure, but I'm pretty sure I read that receiving a new email is the trigger to sync all changes in the mail folders.
As far as it taking 10 - 20 minutes to get new mail, that does not seem normal. I get new mail on my TP2 before they show up in my inbox on my desk and I have on all the "direct push" phones that I've had. Are there other users on your Exchange server you can compare to? That way you'd know if it were just you or the server.
here's a solution!
after speaking with trusted friends and valued forum members (thanks guys for your input), i've decided to ditch "the message center" (the aforementioned exchange hosting company that gave me that "acceptable email delivery" crap). i opened a newa account with another company that advertises IMMEDIATE email delivery via activesync. wish me luck!
I've been syncing mine with an Exchange 2007 Environment that I setup personally and I have had no problems with my Touch Pro 2. Everything has synced just fine. Make sure you double check all of your settings on your phone and if need be on the Exchange Server itself.
my company uses exchangemymail.com for our email hosting. We have a ton of mailboxes using all sorts of devices. blackberry, wm, iphones. I use tp2 via echange active sync. I get emails near instant. calendar updates are near instant. deleted items needs a new email to trigger syncing as I believe that is the way it just works.
On my new Vibrant I have mail coming through my Gmail account. On my computers I have the option through labs to make the refresh button check my pop account. Without that, my account gets checked only once every 45 minutes or so.
Is there a way to do this on the phone?

From what you're saying, it seems to fit your needs!
I've had my HOX since release day and added my two email accounts right away. I use the Gmail app for my personal gmail and the included Email app for my work Exchange account.
After about a week I was not able to reply or forward work emails using the built in Email app. I can receive and send (new) emails but if I try to reply or forward an email I get a Notification saying "The email was not able to be sent."
I've removed and re-added my work account multiple times. I can reply for a day or two then I get the "can't send" issue again. I've verified that I am using the correct settings when I setup the account.
This is the only negative I have with the HOX but I would love to figure out what is wrong. Thanks.
i ran into this issue today as well, but only on 1 of my 4 push accounts. funny thing is that, although my phone said the email wasn't sent, the recipient received it 10 times, which equates to the number of times i hit resend. problem went away on it's on...
I wish I could say the same thing. I've tried replying to coworkers and even tested with my own gmail account. New emails are the only ones that are actually sent for me. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.
