Multiple Email Accounts
 

One question which I'm sure has been asked before but I've been unable to find with a search....

How do I make my TP2 do what I could do with Blackberry's BIS service? I want to be able to push several email accounts to my device like I could with my 'berry. So far, it's looking like my only option is to enter the pop info in and just schedule send/receive in Pocket Outlook. Are you serious? I'm back to having to poll a server? I need instant gratification and it looks like all a hosted exchange account does is let me aggregate, but I can't change which account I reply from on the fly. Help me Obi Wan!!

thats what makes a blackberry a blackberry and pretty much the only reason they are around. They are the only phone that does the push email immediately, which is why most companies charge a seperate blackberry charge. gmail just recently upgraded their service to work with microsoft exchange so that is the only company, yahoo and all the others are only pop 3 and imap.

well windows mobile does it but you have to have an exchange server. if you have a gmail email you can do this finally. only to one email on the phone. then you have like 10 emails but you have to tell the phone to scan every x mins, hours.

if you dont like this feature on the windows mobile you can go back to your "berry" and im pretty sure somebody would kill to have the phone you have. including me

=;No thanks psycho. I bought this phone for a reason so I won't be going back to the "berry." Just dealing with the culture shock of a new device after being with the same one for almost a decade, and trying to get my bearings and a feel for the device's limitations. I appreciate the offer though.:thumbleft:

Not true exchange is immediately push email I used to use "web to mail" when it was free and would get my email faster on my phone then on my pc ..

As for Multiple Email Accounts that really simple..you just set each email account you have to forward a copy to your one push email account and then that account will push it to you

Re: Multiple Email Accounts
 

this proves my point. im sorry i wasnt mentioning any other service because you have to pay for it. google is giving the service away for free.

Re: Multiple Email Accounts
 

Problem is that I can't reply to those forwarded emails and look like I sent them from that email address. I do freelance work for a magazine and have a business and I need to be able to send/reply to emails from both of those domains where exchange will only allow me to send from/reply through only one domain. For now, I'll be using the Pocket Outlook and settle for polling every 15 minutes on the two "mission critical" email boxes and every 30 on the others.

Thanks for your answers so far guys. Thanks has already been given to everyone with a productive answer.:mrgreen:

Re: Multiple Email Accounts
 

There is a company called "Seven" with a program called "Seven Beta" that is supposed to push your email to you [I read it somewhere a while ago]. You have to sign up for it and I've never gotten around to trying it because I'm not sure how tough it is on the battery and the website is fairly light on details on what Seven is supposed to do, what it looks like, etc.

Re: Multiple Email Accounts
 

I have several hotmail & gmail accounts - had forgotten about forwarding to hotmail to get instant push mail on the TP2...so thanks for reminder! :)

The only limitation I see is that your reply address will come from your one push email address, not the one(s) that receives the original inbound mail.

As for Google's Sync Gmail. Luv the concept but still buggy with all the inconsistent push & battery suckage.
Hotmail seems to have a good handle on it on my TP2 though.

Re: Multiple Email Accounts
 

I used to use that on my moto q... worked fairly well but was really unstable on the phone. Lots of screen updating issues. That was about a year ago though, I'm sure things have improved since then.

Re: Multiple Email Accounts
 

what are you saying here? that google sync uses more battery then a hotmail sync? im about to use gmail push and wanted to know if this would effect battery.

Re: Multiple Email Accounts
 

How about poll every 3 minutes?

Re: Multiple Email Accounts
 

What I do personally is use Seven for my email pushing. I Notice no battery draining at all and I have 3 gmail, 1 school and 1 live account pushed 24/7. Its instant for me as I usually get the mail on my phone before my computer. I also haven't had any issues with attachments.

Best part being that it is free!

Re: Multiple Email Accounts
 

you can use one account for push mail. if you need more then one account for push you can use seven like imsavant said. depending on what phone/os you have depends on where the activesync program is. just open that and enter your email info. some email accounts dont have push mail. hotmail does, now gmail does. i do not know any others as thats all i use.
