Ok Guys if anyone is interested my o2 Mini s is now working perfectly with its original ROM.
i have my email calender contacts, in fact everything in my exchange server mail account syncs wirelessly and faster than blackberry or regular email
ALL YOU NEED IS:
An exchange server mail account preferably Fasthosts (if you do not know them fasthosts.co.uk)
Then you get the goodlink software from fasthosts, or directly if your company will allow( good.com)
download the software onto XDA a few tweaks and a bit of patience actually 12 hours ....
But it is perfect
I'm using the Orwell WM6 rom and having problem syncing email with Exchange via GPRS. I can sync calendar and contacts with no problem and desktop sync is ok for email. But everytime I sync 'over the air' my email inbox ends up empty.
It all works perfectly with WM5.
I've read a few posts about problems with Exchange sync but haven't seen any solutions. Does anyone know how to fix this? This might be the only thing that sends me back to WM5 and I really don't want to do that unless I have to.
Thanks.
I tried to reproduce this error but have not been able to... I am using the PDAVIET3 WM6 ROM though, I use push-email and havent had a single issue with this ROM. Maybe you might want to try that wm6 version ( or pdaviet4 )
cheers
hmm I wonder if its because my Exchange is 2003 SP1. I sync on a schedule rather than push. Maybe SP2 is needed to sync with Exchange mail. Its a work server so I have no say in getting it upgraded.
I'll try one of the pdaviet roms. Thanks for the suggestion.
See if your IT guy can run through the settings. The only thing I could think of is he might not have the "Enable unsupported devices" checked. The screen below is of an Exchange server with SP2 installed. I assume that option is also in SP1.
Exchange 2003 SP2 is required to have Pushmail available, the scheduled synch should already work with SP1
I'd have your IT guy check the event logs on the Exchange box ...
I know it's not your decision but I'd really enjoy hearing the rational of your IT dept not installing SP2...
I remember when SP4 for NT blew up several of my servers (gotta love that BSOD!) but this update has been out for over a year and is considered critical.. and quite stable. Actually more stable than SP1...

Thanks for those suggestions guys. But it looks like I've got it fixed.
Before flashing one of the pdaviet roms I thought I'd hard reset the Orwell rom and see if that made a differance. And email is now syncing sweetly!
To make it even stranger, before the hard reset I found I could sync my sent items in email if I enabled that, just not the main inbox. Really strange.
I'm now reluctant to add any of the fixes in the Orwell rom for camera, mms etc. just in case they give me the old problem. But who cares. Exchange email sync is number 1 on my list.
Cheers.
I'm using Outlook 2007 on my desktop with 3 POP email accounts, calendar, tasks, etc.
Is there a fairly simple way to sync and push email to my Tilt without having exchange server available ?
Thanks,
DLD
Direct push is for exchange 2003 & 2007 only, it has nothing to do with the outlook client. Why don't you setup the pop3 on your phone? On my phone I have 1 exchange account, and 2 pop3 accounts, and it works great.
You could always try Emoze - http://www.emoze.com/ - some people love it, some people hate it. Not tried it myself.
Other options include using Live Mail - which supports push in WM6, or setting up a Mail2Web account. You could then create a rule in Outlook to forward any received mail to your new address. You might be able to configure Live Mail to pull from other Pop3 mailboxes (I know Gmail does this, but I don't know about Live Mail). That way all three Pop accounts end up in your Live Mail bucket, and you sync just that one account with your phone.
Any good?

I could do that, but then I'd have to manually check for mail.
It would just be nice to have blackberry-like mail arrival.

you can tell the phone to check every 5 mins for emails? that's just as regular as blackberry. battery sapping tho. its in the advanced section of the messaging setup. you can do it on symbian nokias too.

just installed it, and it appears to be working GREAT !
i wonder why this is free ?

Unless it is an unlocked version, there is a client ready to install on the Tilt that does the same thing. ExpressMail

I like the concept of XpressMail (using SMS notification, therefore good for battery life), though I've had little luck getting push to work. It rarely, if ever, worked on my MPX220. I eventually accepted the fact that I'd simply have to do a send/receive when I was interested in seeing if there was new mail. Now that I have the Tilt, I'm having the same reliability issues. It HAS worked... I've had a couple messages show up all on their own, but for the most part, they don't. I've gone into the online configuration @ https://xpressmail.cingular.com/, and found that I had not only one, but two devices set up (my MPX220 set up twice). I deleted both of those, but for some reason can't seem to get the Tilt added. I can go through the process, but once I select it, it just never gets added to the list. The list of emails online is correct, so obviously the xpress mail app is properly getting the emails from my mail provider (comcast), but it's either not sending out the SMS messages, or they aren't being interpreted correctly by the phone.
I had a situation where i needed to syn with 2 exchange servers, and i didnt' want to run a desktop app.
Google for "seven beta" and get the OWA Out of office. You can set it up to sync only email and it works like push off of the OWA of exchange. If you don't have exchange they have a desktop version. Seven is the same people who develop the xpress mail for cingular.
Tried the several ideas (unchecking-checking e-mail server deletion option and hard reset) posted on sprintusers.com/forum/showthread.php?p=1864960&posted=1#post1864960, but without success. Messages stay on server (have several different e-mail servers), relevant feature for me to organize on the road. Had a HTC 3300 until last week, with no issues on this matter at all, now with Diamond/WM 6.1 it simply doesn't work. Made several more tests, notice that until connecting again to server for sending new message, seems that the deletion worked but once new message is sent, messages are downloaded again. Didn't find any mention to this on several threads (am I missing something?) and appreciate help to fix!
same here.
what i did is instate of using POP, I change to IMAP.
my email support both POP & IMAP.
I've got the same problem with POP3 accounts. I'm guessing it's a WM6.1 thing - used to work fine with the exact same config on my TYTN II.
Would really love to hear from anyone that finds a fix.
hi!
i don't think that this is depending on wm6.1!
i had a trinity with wm6.1 and always synced with exchange (as i do now
with my diamond) with no problems.
since i have the diamond the deleted items don't disappear in my exchange
account, when i return to office the deleted items are still there...
regards,
markus
I can confirm that this is a bug with exchange and wm6.
You delete or move an email and it will not make the changes to the server until an email or appointment is pushed through to you.
only solution is then to wait for WM7?
After dealing with buggy versions of Windows Live (I got one version to work reasonably well with push, though it's spotty), I decided to try
Xpress Mail after reading that it has improved.
I set it up on my AT&T Fuze (stock ROM) to use my Gmail account and soft-reset. It's set up to do push by default. I sent myself three test e-mails and, of course, none of them came to my phone immediately. It took anywhere from five to 15 minutes for an e-mail to come through.
After I performed a manual send/receive I sent myself a couple more e-mails and NOTHING! They all came super late.
I know some folks on here are having no problems with their e-mail, but why the hell is it so hard for others to get our push e-mail going?
I've always been under the impression that "push" mail only works with an Exchange Server... and it works well with my business e-mails. I check gmail through IMAP which is an improvement overPOP3, but still needs to poll the server on a schedule.

Push email is a service provided by the email carrier or vendor, exchange works very good with push because I use it on a daily basis. GMail (as far as I know) does not offer Push, what Xpress mail does is poll (via IMAP) to gmail and pushes the emails once Xpress has received it rather then having your phone do the polling.
Are you serieus? Why my w810i/k850i/w960i all used pushmail service from Gmail? So yes it have pushmail for shure, only MS don't like the idea of not using exchange for it and now we all have to suffer for that :S

i'm using Mobipush(.com) with satisfaction.
Ciao
I have windows live set up on ROMeOS and I'm having no problem with push. Sometimes I send CABs to myself so i can get them on my phone and it always happens instantly.

If MS didn't like the idea of not using exchange... they wouldn't allow outlook to get mail from pop3/imap. If that's suffering you need to expand your horizons a bit... Sorry for the rant, just tired of anti-MS (not that I'm a big fan). Credit where credit is due.
I didn't read the RFC, but I don't think IMAP supports "push". There is a new proposal for Push-IMAP (P-IMAP) based on IMAP4... Android OS seems to support "push" Gmail and iPhones have some proprietary hooks to get "push" Gmail. So "push" Gmail is out there...

Emoze - www.emoze.com offers not only G'Mail "pushed" but also access to G'Apps too!!!!!
.
IMAP IDLE can be called Push-Mail.
The email client can stay in contact with the IMAP server, which tells the client that there is new mail.
Unfortunately, Outlook Mobile does NOT support IMAP IDLE.
ImapPusherService adds this functionality, but it's still an early version...
I'm not satisfied with Xpress email either. I've only added my main Gmail on so far for testing, but I have several more I want to monitor. With my Treo 680 I had no problem with email monitoring. During Mon-Fri daytime I monitor all my accts with thunderbird portable and therefore don't want email being picked up by the phone too. I set up the custom time settings in Xpress to not do this and yet, email still came through. Also it often picks up old mail - mail that was sent several days ago that I'd already read via POP on thunderbird, etc. I don't want to deal with this ridiculousness. I don't need instant Push per se, but at least the ability to set an account to check every five minutes. Would I be able to replace Xpress with Emoze, FlexMail, ProfiMail, or other email apps smoothly? As in replace it on my email tab easily?
I've had no issued with xpress mail. I'm actually participating in their beta program and have hotmail, yahoo and my work lotus notes mail pushing. A lot of times I will get mail on my htc touch pro before my Notes client on my laptop pulls in the mail.
The big ting I'm looking for (for my wifes phone) is a solution that can push contacts and calendar from yahoo, hotmail or gmail.
Lastly I wish one of these solutions would some how include a script or something triggering your VPN client. When I'm away from my desktop I need the connector to reconnect to the work mail server but it can't without me manually starting my vpn client.
Maybe I need to learn how to write a script to not own launch my VPN client but also to click on connect...
For everyone that claims Gmail doesn't offer push, if i connect the first time to it via imap on every latest model (later then w810i) it says 'gmail offers pushmail, activate it on this phone?'... it workes really great (on a SE phone) but MS don't like us to use other clients...
It just sucks, and of there was a real solution for this (a real program instead of ms outlook) it wil be used by almost everyone with wm i quess!
I wanted to throw out some names: I use Seven's Beta for my university (Yale) IMAP push. I also use Funambol to synchronize contacts, tasks, notes, calendar with Outlook.
Alternatives for Push Gmail include Emansio, Emoze, IMAP-pusher service, Mobipush.
I've posted on this issue extensively, so just do a search!
Okay so I need to know which is better:
Seven?
eMoze?
Mobipush?
Emansio?
I currently use seven and don't like that it can't set times to push the data (say every hour). It just leaves a time on to push. Like a time period. How is mobipush or emoze?

Be frank forget all above. there is 2 best option you can have.
1) get mail2web.com account: they offering free exchange service.( my opionen best for free only negative point.. the mails that you send hve the extension [email protected]
2) flexmail software:I think best email client but takes some memory. with that you can download you mail (gmail) IMAP and IDLE which is kinda pushmail. it take 1 minute to arrive on you device.

Seriously? Why? I have a yahoo account. And I've been using SEVEN so far, and it gets my mail faster than my mail counter on my yahoo widgets can count.
