Is Seven the only option for gmail push email still?

[tracerit]

I used to use Seven on the Touch Pro 1 but after I do the multiple ROM upgrades, it'll always charge me like 20 cents everytime i set up a new account. I've just been setting up WinMo's default email client to check mail every 5 minutes but it'd be nice to have push email again. Just seeing if there's an alternative to Seven still.

Why not use Google's Google Sync? It brought push email to GMAIL about a year ago.

not sure if you tried this yet but........once in the inbox go to tools, options, tap the email acct you want to sync, select sync schedule, select frequency to as items arrive. ive had it set like this for a min and the emails come RIGHT AWAY!!!! plus it doesnt drain the battery too much.

are you talking about the Options in WinMo's default email app? because when i go to inbox. tools, options, tap eamil account, and then "send/receive schedule", there isn't an otpion that says "as items arrive." unless i have to install a certain program to get this optoiN?


i'll be looking into google sync

google sync came out in feb 09, BUT it was missing email option until sept 09. so it was more like 6 months ago. the link in the post above mine will tell you how to set it up OP. quick and painless.

all you have to do is open a fresh activesync and click on the link saying "..set it up to sync now", input gmail addy, uncheck auto settings, set the next screen as "m.google.com", next screen insert @gmail.com after username, put in password and thats it. Real push email, this is wat you control from the comm manager with the Microsoft direct push option

edit: OOPS, nvm, exact same instructions in the posted link. never knew that lol, i just figured it out myself

If you use google sync, do not select tasks. It can sync contacts, email and calendar. If you select tasks it will give you an error and push email will not work.

This is good to know thanks

yep. i think you have to set the server as m.google.com not gmail bcuz the auto load server settings didn't work. hopefully they've fixed it by now. i still do it manually anyway
