as of above.
i used gmail on my cruise both wm6.1 & wm6.5 it should be the same for topaz,
settings from here:
http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=78886
I use Gmail, the phone will automatically set it up for imap.
I'm using both gmail and hotmail on the D2; I found hotmail much better for the diamond2
The reasons are:
First, gmail will retrieve the email from the past 30 days; where hotmail will grab a constant window of 50 mails.
But most importantly, as soon as an email is sent to my hotmail account, it appears on the d2; whereas gmail will check the email every hour.
I'd be very interesting if there was a way to have the hotmail behaviors with my gmail account.
i dont know what i missed out, it just never connect to the gmail.
That's strange. I also have no problem with Gmail.
My gmail account work but how to setup gmail account for push email, instant email?

I use Gmail with POP3 access.
Incoming Mail Server = pop.gmail.com
Outgoing Mail Server = smtp.gmail.com
Check "Outgoing server requires authentication"
At Advanced Server Settings
Check "Require SSL for incoming e-mail"
Check "Require SSL for outgoing e-mail"
Make sure the correct Network Connection is selected.
Hope this helps.

Thanks. It works now. I was on a different network environment, guess they block it.
Please check ur pm
If you want push gmail you'll need to use imappusherservice, i recommend this version as it does auto-restart if the connection is interruppted (the main one just craps out).
Following copied out of the readme.
This is an unofficial "patch" version of version 0.6.0 of ImapPusher Service (http://imappusherservice.codeplex.com/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=17672), written by codeplex user gmurray.

Nothing to dl on this link, it say "This Project has no releases"
Hi,
I use Gmail thru Imap and it rocks smoothly. First of all you have to understand what "archiving" email is intersting with gmail.
If you classify quickly your emails or archive them ( you have to get some often in web mode) you will then download only the emails in the Inbox ( not all emails !!!).
Also you can setup how old emails you wish to get 3/7 days...
Gmail works fine and great no problems. Better than any hotmail !
Regards
M B
Also, Gmail uses differen PORT for POP3 and SMTP !!!
Cheers,

I am using POP3, but still you need to activate SSL, which causes the use of different ports.

I'm sure most people have already seen this, http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/...ly-your-mobile-email-client-and-gmail-fall-i/
I configured this per directions on the Gmail site and now have it listed as one of my email accounts. I can even send messages, but can not yet receive. Also, it hangs on the "Looking For Changes" screen and never says "finished" as my other email accounts do. I am wondering if anyone else has tried to configure yet, and if anyone is having luck?
Works ok for me on an HTC Touch. Have you enabled IMAP in Gmail? It's under settings >> Forwarding and POP/IMAP. If you don't see IMAP, it's not been setup for your account yet by Google.

I answered my own question, helps if you just show a little patience, never been my strong suit! For anyone else as impatient as me, a few tips. Make sure you manually configure your email settings. If not, it will not pick up the incoming server as an IMAP server. So, long story short simply follow the below instructions and voila, you will be up and running in no time.
Configuring other mail clients
You can use the following information to configure IMAP with many mail clients. If you encounter difficulties, we suggest contacting your mail client's customer support department for further instructions -- we're unable to provide assistance with configuring mail clients not listed here.
Incoming Mail (IMAP) Server - requires SSL: imap.gmail.com
Use SSL: Yes
Port: 993
Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server - requires TLS: smtp.gmail.com (use authentication)
Use Authentication: Yes
Use STARTTLS: Yes (some clients call this SSL)
Port: 465 or 587
Account Name: your Gmail username (including @gmail.com)
Email Address: your full Gmail email address ([email protected])
Password: your Gmail password
I noticed that some of my emails aren't fully downloading in IMAP mode. I switch it back to POP and the same email comes up completely. In IMAP mode, the body of the email is blank. Any ideas?
It sounds like you are only downloading the headers. Depending on which mail client you are using, you need to change the settings to download both the header and body of each message, or you can download them as you view them (usually by right-clicking a message and selecting "download").
Not working for me... Guess they havent updated my account to work with the the new IMAP servers!
In Progress
I have 2 accounts. 1 is updated to include IMAP, The other isn't.
Keep in mind if not already mentioned, Language selected in settings must be English (US).

Nope. Made sure the selection was to download the entire email and the entire attachment. Which brings me to another topic. Even when in POP3 mode with those selections made, I still have to manually download the email and attachments.
But, no, still unable to see the emails. It's funny though because it indicates that the entire file was downloaded.
Sheesh
Its a right pain setting up POP3 mail acocunts, in fact I've never had one working.
Currently I've solved my Yahoo and Hotmail accounts by using Windows Live and forwarding all my mails from yahoo to hotmail.
But I've got another POP3 account that wants money to set up mail forwarding. Sod that me thinks.
I'm 100% sure that all my settings for POP3 mail retrieval are correct,
INCOMING: pop3.graffiti.net
OUTGOING:smtpx.graffiti.net
USERNAME: [email protected]
P/W: XXXXXX
all yes to outgoing secure authentification, and same ID for sending emails.
but no dice grandma, no emails and a message telling me that im not connected or have incorrect account settings.
My internet connection works fine 3G and GPRS, I use it all the time, I have tried to retrieve emails while synced and while roaming, still no luck.
Anything I'm being thick about, or is the POP3 mail facility in WM6 just really fickle and buggy?
Thanks in advance for all help
Pop3 is fine. I have never had any issues with it in WM2003, WM5 and WM6.
I don't know graffiti.net personally. but a quick look at their login page and the fact they have a link to "interaction with other devices" or something like that suggests that you need to enable it on their website.
(Yahoo email requires you to log in to the webmail client and enable pop3 forwarding and access before you can access your emails via outlook or on your device and I am going to guess that graffiti make you do something similar)
Here in the states on AT&T I have to use the AT&T smtp mail server for sending email, but getting my POP3 email works fine. have you ever had your graffiti pop3 account working somewhere else?
Microsoft FINALLY opened up the POP3 ports for Hotmail, Live, MSN, etc. accounts. That means that we can get our email on our devices again without installing that stupid Live program.
This is especially great for me because the newer version of the Live Mobile program was crashing my Manila and freezing my email tab so I had to uninstall it.
I just set up my hotmail account and it worked immediately.
Here's what you need to do:
1. Create a new mail account
2. Don't put the real domain. For example, for hotmail, I put "hormail" because the device will automatically tell you to go to live.com to set it up. You can change your email address after you put in the server settings.
Here are the settings:
POP server: pop3.live.com (Port 995)
POP SSL required? Yes
User name: Your Windows Live ID, for example [email protected]
Password: The password you usually use to sign in to Hotmail or Windows Live
SMTP server: smtp.live.com (Port 25)
Authentication required? Yes (this matches your POP username and password)
TLS/SSL required? Yes

Do all of this and click "Finish" then go back in and change your email server back to what it should be.
Click Send/Receive and you will get your mail.

This is great! Thanks for posting this, now I can free up a few megabytes on my device. I have always hated that I couldn't check my email on older devices that didn't support the live application, like my Mobilepro 900C. I was never a fan of the live app anyway, as I could never choose what happened to my mail on the servers if I deleted it on my device. Thanks,
Dave
How to get *all* sent emails to show up
Thanks for the heads-up regarding this. I'd heard Hotmail were going to offer a more standard form of POP/SMTP access one of these days. I've configured my Kaiser accordingly and it shows all my received emails fine and emails I've sent from my Kaiser fine but emails I've sent from my desktop PC do not show up in sent emails on the Kaiser. Is this what others are getting as well? How do I get all of my sent emails to show up as well?
Yea, only emails sent from the device will show up.
Glad to see other people find this useful as well.
You're welcome.
thank you so much
thank you so much i have wanted to have both of my hotmail accounts on my device for ages.

No problem. I'm really glad to have my hotmail back also.
For some reason, I can't get this working in Thunderbird on my laptop though or even on Outlook.

Synchronizing folders
I'm can setup my MSN e-mail accounts using the method mentioned earlier.
However, none of the my personal MSN e-mail folders show up for me.
They do if I set up the MSN e-mail using HTTP protocol (and use Adrian HTTPMail Provider) instead of POP3 protocol.
Does anyone know how to get the personal e-mail folders to show up and synchronize using POP3?

oh iam so silly
Does anyone know how I can get 2 hotmail account on my mail tab? Currently I can only use one and if I want to goto my other account I have to switch accounts through windows live.
Grassyass
Don't use Windows Live...
Create an account but trick it
Instead of typing in [email protected] which redirects you to use Windows Live, type in something like [email protected] or something wierd. It will take you to the manual setup wizard.
Follow the Wizard Prompts and enter these where appropriate:
Incoming Mail Server: pop3.live.com
Outgoing SMTP server: smtp.live.com
(check Server requires Authentication and "use same name/pw for sending")
-Under Advanced Settings, check both Incoming/Outgoing SSL options

A new way to get Hotmail on your phone
http://mailcall.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!CC9301187A51FE33!49799.entryhttp://mailcall.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!CC9301187A51FE33!49799.entry
Hey it worked..You guys ROCK!!
Great information. Thanks for the help.
The messages do not seem to have the same status as the hotmail versions.
ie. If i have read the message already, it still shows as unread when it arrives at my phone.
Is there a way around this??
Also, can the device be set to auto download images when it gets the message?
(I have unlimited data tarriff so am noth worried about size.)
Thanks.
Great solution for Windows Live/Hotmail Users!!!!
This is wonderful, especially since I track multiple Live/Hotmail accounts ... and no more dependency on Windows Live!
Woo hoo!!!!!
this is awesome, lol, great info, thanks so much
i had set up a hotmail acc using the below method.
Just config it manually.
First, create an account with some unknown email address such as [email protected] (we will change back later) then edit account settings and use these parameters.
Incoming mail server : pop3.live.com
User name: Your FULL email address ex. [email protected]
Outgoing (SMTP) mail server : smtp.live.com
Check those 2 boxes. (require authentication & same username)
Click Advance server settings. Check another 2 boxes.
Done.
it works well in notifying mi once i receive a new email with syncing every 5 minutes. but the thing is i cant send any email out and i cant manually sync by clicking "send/receive"
any solution?

But why you start to configure this with unknown email?
Don't get it.
Maybe you have some settings wrong...
I have the same problem, worked fine last week.
Setting up with a non hotmail address allows you to put in the live.com pop3 and smtp settings.

He's just using that as an example! lol
resent problems with MS hotmail servers i think as i've spoken to a number of people that have intermidant issues.
Since your setting it up manually, have you tried using the mobile email server of your Mobile provider? or even a googlemail smtp as the sending server?
as you can imagin you don't have to use the same service smtp server as your pop3 incomming server

so what do u mean by i do not need to use the same service smtp server as your pop3 incomming server?
i used this method is becoz i tried using the Windows Live application but i cannot activate push mail for it, like to sync once i receive email or what, as i need to manually Send/Receive to update my mailbox for new mails.
so i searched the forum for solution and found this method (using a fake address initially den changed it back). its push mail works fine with sync every 5 mins. im able to receive email automatically.
initially when i set up email with this method, i tested the incoming and also sending emails it works perfect. but now don't know what happen suddenly when i want to send email i can't. it has error out of sudden.
any solution? or any recommendation on other outgoing server can i use? btw i'm using hotmail acc so can any1 recommend a server that works with my hotmail acc with POP3.live.com incoming server?
thanks alot
greatly appreciate if anybody can give any help.
wats the point to have push mail if i cannot reply
thanks
any1 got any other server to recommend for hotmail account?
