Hiya all ...
I KNOW this is discussed and covered in other areas, but I STILL have not been able to find a solution to this problem anywhere on the internet after 3 days of reading forums.
My Diamond will only recieve mails typically on an 8 minute bases - this is related to the heartbeat of the connection tunnel that is supposed to remain open from my phone.
There is rarely a "live" push of mails.
Forums discuss this problem as being related to firewall HTTP timeouts etc which makes sense, but I've PROVED this is NOT the case by setting it all up on a LAN (via both Active Sync and WiFi), avoiding all firewalls (both software and hardware) to my Small Business Server.
Syncs work perfectly, but the live "push" just isn't live.
It's infuritating.
It's also battery guzzling in it's "8 minute" mode.
Has anyone got there's to work properly with Exchange Server 2003 ???
P.
Help!
Anybody ???
P.
If possible, upgrade to Exchange Server 2007 SP1. This has fixed many problems related to Exchange Push and ActiveSync, including the one you are experiencing.

Dan
Hey all,
As I was browsing the forums, I happened to come across THIS thread and immediately felt like . I have been using M2W for quite a while now and was quite pleased with it's Push E-mail capabilities; alas, this is no longer an option. As such, I am looking into other options that would allow me similiar (if not same) capabilities as M2W.
Therefore, I have a few questions that I hope members with experience in the field can assist me with:
SEVEN:
1) Is SEVEN beta a free service?
2) Does SEVEN push as well as (or better than) M2W?
3) Does it create a new e-mail address (i.e. [email protected] or something) or does it push an existing address (i.e. comcast, hotmail, gmail...)?
4) How is the battery drain on the TP when using SEVEN vs. using M2W?
5) What server address, if any, do I need to put into my TP to get SEVEN to push e-mail (i.e. mobile.exchange.mail2web.com for M2W)?
HOTMAIL:
1) Does Hotmail push e-mail by itself, or does it need to be paired up with something else?
2) If it does push, what is the server address I need to put into my TP (i.e. mobile.exchange.mail2web.com for M2W)?
OTHER:
1) Are either of these services "Outlook" services that sync with ActiveSync (once again, like M2W)? I ask this only because I know it works with my TP "flawlessly".
2) If not, then what else do you folks recommend?
Lastly, I wasn't sure if this belonged in the TP forum. If it does not, I apologize in advance and hope a moderator will move it where it belongs.
Thank you all for your time.
WildAce786,
I'll take the "Other" section, Number 2.
I've used Mail2Web before. It was what I first used when I wanted to test true exchange. I loved it. I liked having email pushed straight down to me. I use two devices (two lines with data) and wanted my contacts, email, etc., all pushes quickly and quietly without the need of the cables I have at home. Mail2Web showed me that it was possible. Unfortunately, M2W didn't have HTML. It didn't allow me to use my own e-mail name (As I do now). And, most importantly, I hated not being able to use my local Outlook Client to connect.
Of course, things may have changed since I used them. However, it made me start looking for my own source. I looked at various places, read some reviews, etc., but came to the decision that some of those companies weren't worth the trouble.
Based on my research, 1And1 (a well known internet host, providing services in the US as well as in Germany) has some serious issues with the QoS (Quality of Service). At that time, they were having major outages, losing data, etc. While their rate plan was $6.95, the reliability that comes with that wasn't worth the trouble.
There were two other companies that came into my google searches. Both were very similar, with 1GB of data and $1.00 difference per month. While I was thinking over various things, I decided to go with SherWeb. I figured that SherWeb had the ability for me to use a 100mb SharePoint site (which I've played with twice..no more), 3GB (I think?) of storage for my Exchange Account, and some of the best customer service I've ever had. Over the past.. wow.. year or so, I think? Maybe closer to 8 months.. who knows.. I've had very little in the way of issues. Any maintenance is scheduled and we're made aware of it at least a week in advance.
Overall, I've been very happy with my choice. I currently have two PDA Phones (The Touch Pro / Fuze and the Kaiser / Tytn II / Tilt) actively syncing using my SherWeb Exchange Account. Additionally, I sync with my laptop as well as my desktop. And, if the day ever comes for me to be so bored as to try to set up another client, which I'm sure I will, it'll no doubt work just as smoothly.
Now, back to "SEVEN". From what I've seen, and I haven't done much in the way of reading, SEVEN looks like another Emoze. I did use Emoze at one time, it worked decent, but it couldn't sync two devices simultaniously. That was one of my contributing factors. Battery life on my Tilt with Emoze was extremely good, until the client errored and had some sync issues. A quick message to the developers told me that I had a corrupted db on Emoze and a small file and re-sync would resolve it. Course, after three days with my battery dying for no reason, I was kinda freaking out.. Glad I noticed that, too...
Bah, I'm getting on a rant now.. If theres anything else I can try to help you with, just let me know.

I have always used DR. Morley's service. He is a user in these forums; drmorley. His 1 GB service is 5 bucks a month and I have had no issues at all. Been with this service since November 2008 and not one outtage. Just search him - it's a good deal.

Firstly I hope i haven't messed this up by fiddling about with installing manila 2D because it did seem to work fine, i've taken it off since to see if it makes a difference but of course Noooooooo.
Vodafone UK are being pretty useless about this because the handset is no longer on their list for support...typical.
I use my Tytn2 tilt as my alround comms device, it's my phone, my diary, and my modem for my Macbook.
I got the phone last january and after much hassle setting up the bluetooth PAN i got it working sweet.
I have my business NTL email account and my googlemail account on my phone and on my laptop.
I pick up my business emails on my phone as and when i need to. I use the googlemail account on the laptop to send images I take once photoshopped.
this has worked amazingly well for the last 13 months or so. I connect my phone to the internet, then over bluetooth i connect my laptop to the PAN on my phone, I could surf the net, FTP, and email all day long no problem.
recently (about the last two or three weeks) i've found I can't send an email on my laptop via my phone. it comes back with an error saying it can't connect to the SMTP server.
I can still surf the net and still receive emails but I can't send ANYTHING.
I have tried altering account settings but it makes no difference and besides it all works perfectly when I connect to a WIFI point.
On my phone the NTL world account has send.vodafone.net set as the smtp
the googlemail account is set as smtp.googlemail.com (this is temperamental but has worked fine in the past)
on my laptop the NTL world account is set to smtp.ntlworld.com
and the googlemail account is smtp.googlemail.com
these work fine over WIFI. But over the PAN they receive but the outgoing won't connect.
Please could anybody with any ideas help me out, vodafone is a loss, and i'm not due for an upgrade until june, although I'm not ready to give up on this yet, it should still be working as it did a couple of months ago
At the moment I am a little reluctant to do a total hard reset as it took so long to get the phone (with the help of the bluetooth DUNN patch) to get the damn thing to work as a modem in the first place.
Hi
I've been trying to get a good msn setup, and I'm not from the US so I can't use the built in stuff. I use auto reconnect (and I'm addicted to it, I'm on 8 different networks) on my main computer, so any client that requires me to be online at only one point is uninteresting.
Right now I got a jabber server setup, that I connect to with jabiru. That way I can be connected both on the computer and on the cellphone. It works decently, although the android client is less reliable than I'd like.
I've know that you can use a jabber server to connect to gtalk and get all your contacts in gtalk, has anyone gotten this to work reliably? I've tried setting up my own server, and that worked fine, I can "register" my msn through my gtalk account, it just never shows up and does anything after that point.
Or are there any good msn clients/proxy solutions that'll allow me to be connected from two places at once? I've heard that newer msn's protocol versions allow it, however I don't use windows and I haven't in years, so I'm not on the latest protocol.
Regrets, I’ve had a few. Been a lurker here for many years, after I purchased my XDA many moons ago. Really happy with it at the time and the custom roms and bits you cleaver guys developed for wm5, updated to wm6…but the phone was frustrating slow and had a habit of crashing.
I upgraded to a HTC HD Mini, again thank you for all the upgrades you guys did… wm6.5, something I wouldn’t have the first clue about. I recently damaged the LCD with isopropyl and had to replace the LCD and digitiser….whilst waiting for parts, and with the pretence that I potentially couldn’t fix the phone I ordered a Nokia Lumia 820.
I’ve had the Nokia 820 wp8 for 48 hours, I feel as if I’ve purchased a box of chocolates but can’t get past the cellophane.
I had to sign in to my Hotmail account to download a unit converter app, now the phone is receiving my Hotmail emails and I can’t uninstall it. Just done a factory reset.
Every time I pick the phone up it wants me to sign in, connect to wifi or gsm…I can’t even explore the files on the phone. Before I send the phone back is there a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel or have I made a mistake sticking with Microsoft, as an old fart I was hoping for some familiarity.

I'm sorry. What is wrong with what you've just said? android and ios are the same. You can't use a marketplace without signing in. and the files are mostly subordinate to the apps that can read them, android is an exception for what as been for a long time in the phone market, but it does the whole contacts/gmail/etc thing as wp8. You might be able to disable email syncro though, if you dislike that much reading email on a phone. Can you explain to us WHY did you buy a smartphone if you don't use any of the characteristics that makes one so?
The wp8 experience is one of seamless integration with social networks, work networks (email, office documents),apps services, you can't have that without a Microsoft account.

Thanks for the reply,
I guess I was hoping wp8 was going to be more like windows, for example the phone has built in gps but I have no way of accessing it…ie grid reference.
The reason I went for a smart phone, ie htc hd mini is ease of carrying a single device when traveling. I don’t need wifi or a GSM reception to use the htc for satnav (map grid and tomtom), radio or to watch films or listen to mp3’s.
For work, I need a phone, camera, gps, removable sd, replaceable battery and entertainment when stuck in boring hotel rooms.

lol first.. what use is gps without a map. and wp8 has native offline maps ready to download. you're trying to use a modern smartphone like a nokia 6600, that's why you're having problem. Try using it the way it's supposed to - the modern always online world.
By the way, yes, you absolutely can disable email sync (not sure why you'd want to; email sync is incredibly handy, one of the things I use every single day on my phone, but OK) either when you set up the account, or by going to Settings -> Email + Accounts and tapping on the account in question.
Installing apps does, indeed, require store access (OK, mostly; there's limited support for sideloading, and one of the things the hacking community is working on is improving that). Store access is tied to you Microsoft account (as on Win8 or Steam or something like that).
The old days of "it's a handheld computer!" (not that that was ever entirely true) are largely gone, although, again, this is the kind of thing that we're trying to bring back.
If you download the maps onto the device it includes a license for worlwide offline navigation (in supported countries - that means: if they have the mapping data, which they have I believe for ~ 80 countries worldwide). The same Maps are used in Here Maps and if downloaded work offline as well.
There is no file explorer though. If you transfer files to the Documents folder they will show up in the office hub. If you put files in the music folder they will show up in the Music Hub, etc.
So all in all you can't be completely offline due to the application store but otherwise you should be able to do everything you want with your WP8 device, although it works differently.

There are many annoying things about my HD mini wm6.5, but since I've fixed the screen and got the reception back as good as new (antenna connection) I've found a new respect for the phone. I'm thinking about sending the Nokia wp8 back, prematurely it feels as I haven't received the new sim or sd card yet, so I haven't actually used it. I'm also considering purchasing another HD mini as back up.
I wish I had the level of understanding you guys have, I'd love the ability to be able to program and customize the device to my liking but the reality is I'm hanging on coattails. I was hoping wp8 would be an improved version of wm6.5.
Thanks for the advice.
Charlie.
The difference between Windows Phone and Windows Mobile is deeper than the branding, but the branding is intended as a tip-off that they are *not* the same thing.
Windows Phone is a smartphone in the sense that iOS is a smartphone; it's pretty "smart" for a phone, but even Microsoft wouldn't have marketed it as a "PocketPC".

The point is that there is very little amount of "personalization" possible. Try to use it instead as it is.
