Unfortunately no. Push email has to be set up with a microsoft exchange server. You can try a free push mail solution like mail2web, but you would have to forward your gmail to that new address. I really wish Google would get with it and allow push mail for this damn thing.

A pretty cool app that turns gmail to push email.

I have my gmail setup to foward to my mail2web account to receive push email.

You set it up in Activesync, add a server sorce, once you set up ur mail2web account. Just put in your username as (username@mail2web.com) and ur password for mail2web. The server address is mobile.exchange.mail2web.com

Also check out FlexMail as an Outlook alternative. GMail does actually support a form of push mail called IMAP idle, but Outlook doesn't. FlexMail supports it, and it works pretty well.

TP does push out the box without an exchange server. Windows Live has push email. I been using it since the Mogul. They should advertise this because this is definately a highlight.


All you have to do is sign up for a hotmail account and have your gmail (or anywhere else) forward to the hotmail account as well. Then go into the settings and make sure the email is set to receive when its delivered.


Some people says it doesn't work for them but they must be doing something wrong. I had this on my mogul, touch and now the Touch Pro. My TP sometimes get the mail faster then the computer.

Hey I'm giving the Windows Live email a try, after using Mail2Web for quite a while. Really hoping it improves my TP's battery life.

One thing I haven't been able to figure out is if I can change my replied-from address. Is this possible? Would be perfect if it looked like it came from my gmail account.

you could try ImapPusherService, I went ahead and started a thread for the app.

It's kind of spotty though...it is beta software.
