Well, what I have noticed more often then not is that when I first started the service, it worked for a day. Then it started working very intermittently. I would keep removing, reseting and everything. Finally I just left it alone and it's been working fairly consistantly now. It might break again who knows.

I would say it's safe to use if you are not using it for buisness emails. If you are using it for buisness emails then it might not be consistant enough for you. Then again, you probably shouldn't be using gmail for buisness anyway since it doesn't naturally support pushmail. Gmail supports it but they do not have it set to push the mail. The capability is there but it seems like Google has that feature "off".

I actually don't have this setup on my phone because I don't send emails from my phone, I just read 'em.



I BELIEVE when you reply, you CAN pick the email you want to send from if you have multiple email accounts on your Mobile Outlook.


try it out and see what happen

Wow.
I manage 3 imap connections from my phone, GMail accounts all forwarded to a single Mail2web account.
I just use Mail2web for when I need push (not all the time, I'm not that important), so I'll get notified, then I go to one of my imap accounts to reply from.
That way I can get up to the second notifications when I need them, but I can also reply with the right email address.
It's an extra step, but I like how it keeps everything organized.

You can go into your Gmail account setup and set another address as your reply-to. I've done it. I can't recall all the steps but your account name for logging-in can be separate from the displayed "from" address, at least in IMAP. Go in and give it a try, I don't think it's especially difficult to do.

Pls keep us updated on this, would be interested if this does help.

This is what I'm doing now, but if I want to include the text from the person's email, I have to select all, copy, then open up the correct email that I want to respond with, then paste, then put in the contacts name, and send....... is that how you're doing it?

go to the manage folders settings in your inbox view. And then check the Sent Folder... it'll start syncing your sent folder.

as stated earlier in this thread, i'd recommend "ImapPusherService". it effectively adds Push/IMAP-IDLE functionality to your poutlook.
to test things out i sent an email to my gmail... i received it on my phone in 7 seconds!
