I have a T-Mo wing running OT 6.0 lite and I want to set up my email for work to go to my phone. At work I log into outlook with a user name and password and everything is fine. I can connect at home by going through a website and entering the same username and password. Is there any way to get my work email pushed to my phone?
you will need an exchange server, i do believe. There are a good number of pay services that push your email to you.
ask one of your IT specialists at work and mayb they already have a push service. i set up my school email address (exchange server) with my phone with no problem, and emails are pushed directly to my phone.

Hi,
I know some of you have suffered from disappearing mail when using WM to download mail from Gmail via POP and I believe there have been some work arounds (using recent: and/or setting your WM6 to not download the entire smg), but I've never been really satisfied with them. Well, since I have a TILT, thought I'd ask my fellow Tilt folks to try this out.
In any case, I tried this workaround and it seems to be working. If someone would be nice enough to double check my steps to see if this works for you, this just might solve the whole GMail/POP/WM6 mishaps.
BTW, as a discalimer, I don't know if someone's come up with this type of solution!
Ok, we'll need two Gmail accounts, one that is your PRIMARY-GMAIL account and then you have your SECONDARY-GMAIL account (bear with me, it'll become clear why in a bit).
Typically, your PRIMARY-GMAIL is the account you receive all of your mail and from which reply from.
Your SECONDARY-GMAIL account (either create one or use one that you already have) is the account from which you'll download mail from with your Windows Mobile device.
Setup your PRIMARY-GMAIL account to "forward a copy of your mail" to your SECONDARY-GMAIL account and "keep Gmail's copy in the inbox"
Enable POP on your SECONDARY-GMAIL account.
On your Windows Mobile device, create a new email account and manually configure to download mail from your SECONDARY-GMAIL account and set it up to download 50kb.
On your Windows Mobile device, set up the OUTGOING server to NOT use the same credentials and then put in the credentials of your PRIMARY-GMAIL account.
That's it! When you receive email to your PRIMARY-GMAIL account, it's forwarded to your SECONDARY-GMAIL account. Your WM device will download mail from this Gmail account. When you reply from your WM device, your WM device will use the credentials of your PRIMARY-GMAIL account and because of the way GMail's interface works, it uses your PRIMARY-GMAIL account as the SENT FROM. Thus to the rest of the world, you downloaded/received it off your PRIMARY-GMAIL account but to you, it's downloaded from your SECONDARY-GMAIL account, but replied/sent from your PRIMARY-GMAIL account. You should be able to download/receive the entire message now without fear of email disappearing from your PRIMARY-GMAIL account.
Sorry, it might sound confusing and convoluted, but this seems to be working for me. No more worries of disappearing messages, etc etc. Would anyone else mind testing this out?
Thoughts?
Thanks!
pretty good workaround. I just use IMAP however.
Um yeah, why use POP when IMAP works now? Pop SUCKS!
i heard push mail is something similar to blackberry, instant email sort of a thing. my company has an exchange server running. how do i configure the push mail on my kaiser?
quickest way to get this sorted would be to speak to your IT department.

Push e-mail need to be enabled on your exchange account as well as on your phone, and the IT department need to set up an OTA server in connection with the Exchange server.
So go see the IT guys
thanks
i'll do that and see how it goes?
aite
everything is setup from the tech side
what needs to be done on my handset to make it go through?

You need to set up the account, and I think it's done in Activesync. Specifying the server (in my case it's ota.xxxxx.com), your exchange username (usually you e-mail account), your regular windows password and optionally the domain.
Then you get to chose which information you want pushed - email, calendar, to-do etc.
have fun

checked everything
some back end ssl certificate issue i guess
nothing more i can do
admin guys will have to fix it
I have 3 different accounts set up on live and hotmail. I would like the emails from all of these to be accessible on my Xperia. Sadly every time I try to add the second one the phone does nothing.
I have tried two different ROMs neither of which changed the result.
Hope someone can help.
Thanks.
I'm not a hotmail/live user but i think that the phone wants to associate your live account with windows live. and you can only ad on windows live account. what you cold do is forward the mails to on account. i have 4 email account and i have them forwarded to an gmail account so i only have to ad on account for everything.
like i sayd i'm not an live user so i don't know if there is something you can do i never had this isseu.
ive got 2 hotmail accounts working on mine
Do you have live messenger installed on your phone? as a program not a panel.
You can do it, but you'll get push mail only for ONE account. This is how it works: Set up a new e-mail account, enter a fake e-mail address. The domain-part is important (The thing after @). DO NOT WRITE HOTMAIL OR MSN OR LIVE THERE! Enter correct PW for your e-mail. Then choose POP3 Servers. Servers are: pop3.live.com and smtp.live.com. Make sure you check ALL checkboxes you can, also in advanced, enable SSL, outgoing mails authentication etc. When you're done, EDIT the account you just created and put in the correct e-mail address. Now you can use it
Sweet. Thanks a million.
thats how i got mine to work
but i cant get push email to work how do you set that up?
I have a POP3 email account at cox.net and I can't setup the email. When I enter my email address, username and password and click on next it tries to connect to the server and, of course, fails.
When I enter the info and click on next I SHOULD go to a screen that ask me to select POP3 or IMAP, enter pop server and smtp server and security but that screen never comes up.
VZW customer service says that's normal but..... I can't believe that? They say LG blocks cox.net but allows other POP3 servers, that can't possibly be true, can it?
I'm surprised, it was a very easy fix, went to VZW store, gave 'em the phone, got HTC Thunderbolt and all is well, it connects to my PC (LG Revolution wouldn't), my email set up with no problems.
well its good that u found a fix hope u like that u changed to a phone that is able to connect to your email........just a note hope u like the 3 or alittle more hours of email time lol
I have a Motorola Droid Turbo. When I delete an email on the cell phone, it also deletes that same email on my server. When I manually installed the email program I selected NEVER on deleting emails on server - automatic installation did not even give us that option. When I delete on the cell phone for a few minutes it is not deleted off the server, but after a few minutes the same email that was deleted on the Droid Turbo is also deleted on the server. I have MSN as my email provider. I have talked with Motorola, Verizon, MSN, Microsoft and they each say it's the other person's fault. How can I correct this situation. I also installed Outlook.com for my email and got same results as the original email provider. I did not have this problem with my Motorola Bionic cell phone. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
Did you set your email up as a POP3 or IMAP account?
^^^^^ Sounds like the phone is connecting to the server via POP3. The phone then downloads the email and deletes it from the server.
Try deleting the email account from the phone and set it back up. Only this time set it up manually and be sure to use IMAP.
This is not a result of the phone, from my personal experience and fixing other's phones (work).
Why wouldn't you want it to sync on the server? In this day and age, if the email provider doesn't offer exchange....I'm not using it.
I've had customers in the past that are 'older,' got into emails with their aol email address and never changed off of it. I told them to try a gmail or something and just let the AOL forward to it. They loved it would begin updating everyone with their new email address. Resolves any issues with having to sync up their phone to their outlook and what not.
