setup a gmail account manually in your outlook mobile etc and don't have it schedule sync or anything. Thats the only way I can think of doing it.

A pretty cool app that turns gmail to push email.

If you can get it to work without errors. I keep getting a tmail.exe error and it wants me to send a report... also, you can only set up ONE email address in there. I have 4 IMAP addresses that I want to use.. You lose gmails threading and storage when you use mail2web.

I believe this is the one snag with mail2web, you can't change the replied-from address, and remember that gmail forwarded to that account won't be kept on the gmail server. I have been reading that there's a "pay option" that allows SMTP on the site but I can't find it. I have heard someone mention that they are doing "reverse forwarding" from mail2web, so I wonder if that's how they get the mail to go back to gmail to be archived? I don't know how you'd do that without getting duplicate messages unless maybe you labeled all mail from "mail2web" to be labeled and archived, and not forwarded back to the mail2web account?

If anyone has instructions for this, I'd appreciate it!

And then just copy and paste the email and reply from the gmail account? You can't just select which account to send from, you'd have to just reply from the gmail account without the senders text, right? Then you also would have to do a send/receive to send right? or does outlook send immediately? I haven't noticed because I've been using hotmail and it sends right away.......

Nuevasync uses exchange for your google contacts+calendar, and they tell me push gmail is coming via their service within the next few weeks as well, using IMAP IDLE for gmail. No forwarding, its just straight up working.

Does anyone know if SEVEN makes the touch pro buttons all slow and unresponsive, like it does to the normal touch?

I use Gmail with checks every 30 minutes and the data connection closes 30 seconds after that. I think this is better than push, which required full time data connection.

Idle data connection doesn't suck much more power than no connection...

It didn't on the Diamond.


I have been using Mobipush for my pushmail. It works, it's taken a couple weeks for it to work reliably. No additional software to install. The only down side is no HTML support which really blows. Other than that, it works and it's free.

Funambol supports google calendar and contacts as well as pushmail. I have found the pushmail to be less reliable though and this one is free but requires install of some software.

Mobipush used to work great then just stopped completely... I really like their 'solution' though-- I am giving it another shot now.
