I've used BBC on My HTC TP2 for over a month and then WM Exchane sync with a gmail account also.
Although BBC provides a good option for push email, but it fails to provide
1. HTML mails
2. Links don't work within emails
3. In India with Vodafone in Delhi, HTC devices cannot have more than 3 email accounts.
4. You need to have multiple APN's at least 2, One for BBC, other for routine net surf.
5. With device like HTC TP2, HD2 etc without a D pad, next/ previous mail function annoying, close current email & then click next one to open
However I find WM Pushmail exchange better.
1. HTML mails
2. External links do work
3. PC type email interface
4. With devices w/o Dpad also, swipe across the screen changes to next email.
5. With a bit of work around you can have multiple emails on Exchange sync, with gmail, working as push mail
Create a new gmail account. In WM Activesync (disconnect from pc), in server settings create new exchange a/c with
Server address : m.google.com
u/name: [email protected]
password: your p/w
in Server setting choose only emails to sync.
You are done with creating exchange account to sync.
Now go to Schedule in Active sync
Set peak times as : As items arrive
Set Off-peak times as : As items arrive/ as per your choice
on bottom of this page Adjust peak times option is there, in which you may customize your peak hours.
Now on your PC login in your gmail account
Enter settings of gmail account
For the email accounts with pop/ smtp options available
go to Accounts and Import, here you can add accounts to
Check mail using POP3 option, select the desirable setting
For the email accounts without pop/ smtp options
go settings of that email, set forwarding to your this gmail id
Next step is to differentiate emails form different accounts say 5 accounts.
In gmail creat 5 labels indicating import/ forwarded email accounts name such as dinesh gm, dinesh yahoo etc.
Next in Gmail filter options create filter/ rule for each imported account
as
Matches: to[email protected])
Do this: Skip Inbox, Apply label "XXXX GM", Never send it to SpamCheck
Creat rule for all 5 accounts
In Gmail activate Multiple Inbox
Set pane 0 to Search Query as the label created " XXXX GM"
and same for rest of email accounts with respective labels.
Now Gmail stores all incoming msgs from different account with different labels, treated as folders by WM Exchange servers.
On your WM PPC go to Inbox of email exchange account created.
Click Menu> Tools > Manage Folders
(Sync at least once before this step)
You'll see all created labels for various email accounts on your PC in gmail account as separate folders in Manage Folder option. Check all the folders you want to sync
And VOILA you have multiple emails synced as PUSH mails to your WM device with any special Blackberry Connect service, no PINS etc.
Additionally it works on Normal GPRS/ EDGE connection delivering HTML emails
Any people say Windows Mobile or Phone now-a-days are waste of money. No they are the most customizable piece of design available.
Enjoy
Will you be notified of new messages?
I am forced to use Blackberry with my work because they don't let me have email on the exchange server. Blackberry is crap for many other reasons too....

yes all notifications are same which can be configured in the Start. sounds & notifications option in WM6.5
Interesting. Could u please explain step by step how to make it work on Rhodium? TIA
Nice,
I have this but....
Mails will be duplicated between your Inbox and the 'labeled box'.
Beware, when you are replying a mail, you are always use your gmail adress and not the one from the 'labeled box'
Hi all,
I like K9 mail and the pinch to zoom function (very important for me).
I can't resolve a problem: when I delete a message in K9 it still appares in Gmail Inbox (if I check in web gmail or thunderbird on PC).
The message have the label "trash" and "inbox" so this is the reason why it appares as not deleted.
I changed the Account settings without result, here my setting:
- Fetching mail > When I delete a message > Delete From server
- Expunge deleted messages > Immediately
- Folder > I set [Gmail]/Trash
Can someone help me please?
The best thing to do is to write the developer and explain your issue. Let him look to see if this is a problem with his program or if you need to adjust a setting.
I have one email account that I check via POP with MS Outlook. I set it so that mail is left on the server and deleted after it is older than X days.
I use K-9 to read mail via POP for another account on my phone. I set K-9 to only keep last 100 messages and was under impression that everything older will be erased from the server automatically.
Today I found out it doesn't work like that - my mailbox on the server got full - messages were never deleted.
Can K-9 be set up similar to Outlook in that respect? I found multiple options like "Delete on a server if you delete message locally" but I don't want to delete anything locally by hand - this email is used only to receive status reports from automated jobs and I receive too many messages every day to delete them manually. I don't mind switching from POP to IMAP if this would help.

There is a current epidemic of people failing to access their Hotmail e-mail accounts because Microsoft is experiencing problems with their Exchange Active Sync (EAS) service. The problems are intermittent, so access to Hotmail e-mail accounts are also intermittent. This is the case for me. Microsoft says they are working on the problems. Read about it HERE.
On the other hand, perhaps your setup for accessing your Hotmail account is with error. This is how I successfully setup the Sony tablet's stock e-mail app to access my Hotmail account.
1. Open the tablet's stock e-mail app, touch the settings icon, and select Settings.
2. On the Settings screen, touch Add Account.
3. On the Account Setup screen:
3.1. Next to E-mail Address, enter full Hotmail account e-mail address.
3.2. Next to Password, enter Hotmail account password.
3.3. Touch "Send e-mail from this account by default." to select/check or (my choice) deselect/uncheck.
3.4. Touch Manual Setup button.
4. On next screen (Account Type), touch Exchange button.
5. On next screen (Server Settings):
5.1. Next to Domain\Username, delete existing text and enter full Hotmail account e-mail address.
5.2. Next to Password, enter Hotmail account password. Note: It should already be entered correctly.
5.3. Next to Server, delete existing text and enter m.hotmail.com.
5.4. Touch "Use secure connection (SSL)" to select/check it.
5.5. Touch "Accept all SSL certificates" to deselect/uncheck it.
5.6 Touch Next button. Note: Here is where you may experience a problem connecting to the e-mail server. If you receive a message saying it cannot connect to the server, wait a few seconds and touch the Next button again. You may have to repeat this step several times before you will successfully connect to the server.
6. On next screen (Account Options), select/check or deselect/uncheck the settings as you see fit and then touch the Next button.
7. On the next screen (Your Account is Set Up and E-mail is On Its Way!), rename the account if you want to, then touch the Next button.
8. When returned to the e-mail app's main screen, select your Hotmail account and you should see your e-mail messages. You may have to touch on the Refresh icon to have your e-mail messages retrieved.
Good luck.

Step 5.3 didn't work for me. However, when I added 'debug-' as a prefix it worked. Saw this on a Microsoft support post. Full txt is 'debug-m.hotmail.com'. I certainly hope they get this straightened out. This issue started after I updated my Transformer to the lastest maintenance update.

My hotmail access in email app broke down about 4 weeks ago, but it did not bother me much until I got command from above (Spouse). I started checking around and found the same procedure posted on Sony support site 6 months ago. I decided to give it a shot.
Well, step 3 did not work for me. I checked the server kids iPad was using, which was "bay-m.hotmail.com" and suddenly it worked just fine.
Hopefully this is useful to someone.

Sorry for bumping an older thread here, but the above mentioned "debug-m.hotmail.com" server has worked well for quite a while. About 3 days ago, it was no longer able to connect to the hotmail server. I removed the account and then added it again using the above steps (with debug); that fixed it last time. Not this time, though. Has anyone else run across this as well? Any new solutions?

On Step 5.1. for "Domain\Username" try "hotmail.com\[email protected]" instead of "\[email protected]"
[email protected] should be your mail address.
Hi
I regularly use several email accounts, one on Hotmail, one on Gmail and one via a work Exchange. Plus I have my phone contacts.
I have set them all up on the Samsung Accounts with my choice of Contacts and mail etc sync settings. But I am a little frustrated because:
When in the phone dialer it shows many email only contacts.
I can't work out where to tell it to put new contacts by default.
Although I can laboriously select and manage more than one contact entry as one, it does not seem to copy the settings between them
There is no clear way of merging the contacts and having the combined settings copied back to the original sources (e.g. if I have one entry with a phone number and another with an email, I can't merge them physically so the missing values are copied back to the source systems.)
I am seeking any suggestions as to settings / practices / software that could help me manage my multiple contacts across several email systems?
Any help would be much appreciated.
I have a similar issue; I have a bunch of email, Facebook, and, you know, actual contacts. Instead of automatically merging those with the same names, they're all listed together. I turned off everything so it only shows contacts, but I'd rather be able to merge them all together. Pressing the "Join Contact" button prompts me to join together email accounts or Facebook accounts only, which I don't want; I want to join contacts with their Facebook/Email accounts.
Anyone know how to do that?
try exporting all your contacts to the sd/internal mem card.
import them to your google account. they should then be in different categories.
check/uncheck the relevant boxes to show/hide contacts
