So i used this hack to setup my gmail, hotmail an windjammercable mail in activesync so i could get push notifications for all my mail in one central app. Here is the problem, when i set the update schedule to push in offpeek time it causes my phone to continously do a data sync every 3 seconds non stop! Is there any setting that will get this working correctly?
Windjammercable mail uses google servers for their mail distribution.
If i set peak to push, an off peek to manuel, then changed peak to start at 8am an off peek to start at say 7am would that fix my problems? Or does peak an off peak require 12hrs gap between the two?

This is a bit of a hack.
From the forums I read while trying to resolve this problem I noticed it worked for some people and didn't work for others. I my experience with software, I've learnt that software is not really erratic. There's always a pattern.
After trying all sorts of combinations, I came up with a process which has worked for me 3 times. You can all try it out and let me know if it works for you.
The process involves pretending to setup a hotmail account using ActiveSync (which will fail) then changing the settings to that of a gmail account. I know it sounds bizarre but it worked for me 3 times. The steps are below.
Pretending to setup a hotmail account
1. Go to the Launcher screen
2. Tap on "Email" icon
3. Press Menu
4. Add account
5. Enter full Email address: [email protected] or [email protected]
6. Enter password
7. Tap Manual Setup
8. Choose Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync
9. Domain\Username: your full email address (example: [email protected] or [email protected]). DO NOT USE "\" in front of the email address. You are not in any Exchange server domain.
10. Your password is already filled in from Step 6, ignore it
11. Server: m.hotmail.com
12. Use Secure connection (SSL) - Yes
13. Accept all SSL Certificates - Yes
14. Tap Next
You should see a checking server settings message ... mine took around 3 seconds.
Account options window
Email Checking Frequency - Automatic (Push) [<- that is the whole reason you wanted this, right?]
Amount to sync - your choice
rest of the four option - totally your choice
Tap Next
Choose account color - your choice
Tap Next
Account Name: Hotmail or WLM (or whatever you want)
Tap Next
At this point you will get the error message "Failed to create the account. Please try again later."
This is expected as a result of a bug with the HTC mail app. Now, moving on to setup the actual email account we're going through all this for.
Setting up actual Gmail Account
Tap "Ok" and tap the "Back" button twice.
Change the email address to your gmail/googlemail address.
Change the server address to m.google.com, leave to domain blank and
Change the username to your full email address.
Of course you need to change the password as well.
Also make sure SSL is checked.
Hit the "Next" button twice and then enter and "Account Name" if you wish. Finally tap "Finish Setup".
DONE! Hopefully your account should be ready to go!
Give it a try and let me know how it goes.

Can't you let the phone get the settings automatically?
Would save you having to set up anything except how often the phone checks for emails etc.
Can't you let the phone get the settings automatically? > no i cant get the automatic setting

is the gmai just a typo? If not, try gmail.com
If yes, try to change the Connection to: "My Work Network" (or something similar)
best wishes and greetings from Germany
I have done all the things with mobile but no reply with incoming I think there some problem with port
I have used the gmail IMAP push found on this forum over wifi, it tends to fall over when the connection is lost but it does work and seems easy enough to configure. Just remember to allow IMAP access to your Gmail account.
The problem could be due to you not setting the email settings properly. Let me guide you how to do it.
But before you begin, go to you gmail settings >> Forwarding and POP/IMAP >> Enable POP for ALL MAIL
The following steps will be done on your phone:
1. Go to Start >> Messaging >> New E-Mail Account
2. Enter in your email address ([email protected])
3. Uncheck the option to receive e-mail settings automatically
4. Tap 'Next'
5. Type in whatever name you want .
6. Account name display can be whatever you wish
7. Tap 'Next'
8. Incoming mail server: pop.gmail.com:995
9. Account type: POP3
10. Tap 'Next'
11. The Username is the username that you use to login into Gmail and same for the password.
12. Check 'Save password'
13.Tap 'Next'
14. Outgoing SMTP server is smtp.gmail.com:465
15. Check 'outgoing server requires authenication'
16. Tap on 'Advanced Server Settings'
17. under Advanced Server Settings, check both SSL boxes adn network connection is set to 'The Internet'
18. Tap 'Next'
19. Select the delay between each sync and click on finish.
*Leave Domain blank*
There you go, that should make it work.

On another note, I dont use push email, I schedule a send/receive every 15 minutes.
I do know it does work with Se7en and other such push providers but would prefer this to be done natively, not with an unreliable 3rd party software. I'm using wm6.5 by Da_G.
I've also been looking into ImapPusherService( http://blownfuze.org/files/ImapPusherService_0.6.zip ) but I cant get this to work with 3 mail.
Ok just picked my up today and have the TNT 2.02 installed. I have gmail all setup, but when I view contacts they are empty? My phone auto syncs up fine, I have tried to se3arch the forums but search feature shows down every time I try.
Am I missing something?
Thanks
1. Enter your email address ([email protected] or [email protected])
2. Enter your password.
Next screen, you MUST do the following:
1. In the Domain/Username box, enter: \[email protected] (where example.googleapp.com is the email address used in the prior screen)
2. In the password box, you can either skip it (if you entered your password on the previous screen) or enter it here.
3. In the server address box, you MUST type: m.google.com

The way I did it in TNT Lite 2.0.2 is to go into Contacts and add a "corporate" account with my gmail credentials. Then when you go to account settings, the above will be automatically loaded.
After you do this, it does take a while for things to start happening but your calendar and your contacts should begin syncing. My calendar updated within a minute but my contacts started after about 2 or 3 minutes.
Hope that helps.
I was set that way already, I deleted the account and re did it and still not contacts or calendar? Gmail is fine.
It can take a while for the contacts to sync, like hours. A possible kick-start is to export your contacts to vCard, and put that file on your sdcard, then import them to your "phone only/unsynced" account. It has seemed for me that my syncing starts to work after that, though it might be coincidence.
I'm still not getting more than my default calendar syncing.
Is the Gmail in TNTLite 2.3? I wonder if the account setup issues (where you don't see contacts and calendar as a syncing option when you set up Gmail) would be tied to that, if somehow the account setup needs to be done with Gmail 2.2 to get all syncing working right.

Ok, I finally got the contacts working with a wipe, but calendar is still empty?
i was able to get my calendar to sync but no the contacts.
When I setup my email with the email icon as well as with the gmail app, everything synced up nicely, but i have not been able to send or receive emails. Says "sending" and nothing happens and new emails do not come in. Also it seems to say unable to connect to server a lot in the email icon. Although i have almost a full wi-fi connection. Ideas? Thanks.

Thanks rjan, but i'm still having trouble with this. For the email icon, since i had already set it up, i went in and hit the menu button and wen to "more" I saw the income mail field and changed it from imap.gmail.com to m.google.com and then when i hit next it still says unable to connect to server. I have a wifi connection so not sure whats up with this... also having trouble with the gmail icon which i also synced and setup, but after it synced, i cant send or receive new emails. Ideas?
All it needed was to be restarted

Lol for Gmail when you choose manual. Use Microsioft Exchange setting not Imap that's why

So I'm coming from a Samsung Fascinate, and so far I love this phone. However, the email app bugs the hell out of me. I have set up my Yahoo and Hotmail to sync through push. The emails sometimes do not come through for hours after they are received though. Additionally, deleting emails from my Fascinate used to delete them from the inbox on the server as well, so when I check through a browser, they will be gone. Now, this doesn't happen. A copy remains on the server, and I cannot find a setting ANYWHERE to disable that. Does anyone else notice this or have a fix?
Thanks
Just downloaded the respective Hotmail and Yahoo apps and they push immediately and correctly. Now I am trying to delete the email accounts from the stock email app, and it errors out. I tried removing them from accounts under settings and it says I have to completely wipe the phone as the accounts are being used by an app. What. The. Hell.
I think I have it figured out - it's in the setup of the email account and the server settings.
To set up a screenname / email address:
Main menu
Applications
Email
Menu
Accounts
Click add account
Select Others, not AOL
Enter email address and password
Here's the important part - choose the manual setup, not next. This will take you to incoming server settings. It should fill the settings automatically - IMAP / [email address]/ imap.aol.com / 143 / None
Hit next.
This is the outgoing server settings - again, auto filled - smtp.aol.com / 587 / None
Hit next. Then you customize the sync settings, name the account, choose your display name, and then hit Done. In Email, you can tailor signature settings, etc.
The key is the manual setup and having incoming and outgoing settings right - this fixes the trash syncing, allows folders to be displayed, etc.
Hope this helps
