How do I set up AOL for Push via Activesync?

**WhiteBlazer01** · #1 (**permalink**) 03-25-2010, 12:35 AM

I need to set up AOL e-mail so it comes in immediately on the TP2 (5 minutes via Outlook is not soon enough). How do I set this up? I know it's done through Activesync, but I'm not sure what settings to enter. Please help. Thanks!

I don't think you can. It would require AOL to be set up on an Exchange server, and I'm not sure they offer that sort of feature. If I'm wrong, someone feel free to chime in and correct me.

Well, it was done on the Blackberry, so there must be some way. I know Activesync does the push/exchange mail.

Most people getting email through BBs are using Blackberry's service, not something AOL provides. Or maybe there's an app that does it for BBs. AFAIK AOL does not provide push email. For example Google provides push email from their server m.google.com

AOL doesn't offer Push Email on any platform. On Blackberry Personal you can put your third party emails on it and RIM will pool your account every 15 minutes (it used to be might be sooner now dunno) and then push the notifications from their server to you. So that isn't true push in any fashion and is the same as using WM's AOL setup just not as cool looking...
