How did you guys even set it up with activesync on touch pro? I tried it but it keep asking me for domain name which I don't know what to put?

Thanks

What can I say, I like my email to be frequent and current.

Seems to work out pretty well.

When you receive your emails, does it read the subject when it is incoming or does it just show as a new email received?

What's the difference between using ActiveSync and setting it to every 15 or 30 mins versus using IMAP and setting it to the same pull times? Would one be more efficient and better on battery?

I had ActiveSync set to send immediately and noticed that my battery seemed to drain a lot faster because I was getting a lot of emails.

Can I go with IMAP for email and use ActiveSync for calendar and contact updates? And if so, do you think it would be any better on battery life?

The battery drain isn't as bad as I thought. My phone will use 10% (maybe up to 20% sometimes) more battery throughout the day with no change in how I use the phone.

Thats how I have mine set up, it uses ActiveSync for my contacts and calendar every 4 hours, and IMAP for my mail every 60 minutes. Works perfect for me.

I have a different problem. My battery seems to last just as long, if not longer with ActiveSync set to "as items arrive". I am in a poor reception area, but not poor enough to go to 1x. So sometimes while doing imap it would lock up, get real hot, and kill the battery. That no longer happens, but apparently the signal telling my phone whenever mail arrives gets lost instead and never re-sends. So, sometimes when I get mail, it can take anywhere from an hour to all day for it to show up on my phone. Any ideas how to fix this?

That said, being able to use the ActiveSync schedule is great. I want to use notification for my email, but don't want to be woken up at night, so I schedule it to stop checking all night, saving battery, and then I get all my mail the following morning, even what got dropped the previous day.

Just hooked up to Google Active Sync. Do I have to reset anything on my phone or on my Gmail account?

I actually just want to optimize the mail push function.
Everything appears to be working fine @ this early hour of the AM...
