hope this helps....if so hit the thanks

But for now, I've tested this app, and I don't know if it works on TELUS. After soft-reset and registering the device and email account, it stayed open in the face so I "x"ed it and confirmed it's not running by looking into the task manager.

Then, sent an email from my other hotmail account to my msn account registered on the device. 5 mins go by, and no sign of new email. Meanwhile, I see on my msn account on browser that the email has been received.

So, I soft reset and wait for it to do everything by itself. And I still don't see anything happening.
PS: I also have Google Mobile Sync running via ActiveSync to sync my calendar events.

Upon going directly to Messaging and hitting Send/Receive, it seemed to have gotten that email as new, but still no pushing done by Sprint Email.

Sprint Mail is made by Seven. It has more limitations than the current Seven beta, so you're better off using Seven beta.

I wish Seven releases another version with the encrypted text messages method.

I installed a Gmail account on my Touch Pro, but could not get it to work well. IMAP kept locking up my phone, and POP wanted to download all thousands of messages in my Gmail account.

My conclusion was that Gmail has a bizarre model of email (everything is archived, never deleted) which is incompatible with POP; and Windows Mobile does not support IMAP well.

make sure you have your email setup for IMAP and that IMAP is enabled on your gmail account.

Does anyone not use the free hotmail push email? I just forward my comcast emails to my @live email address and it works perfectly without having to install any other software. You get emails within 2-5 seconds after them being sent.

Well, a solution like that would not work for me because of 2 reasons:
1st yahoo mail - free does not support mail forwarding
2nd if I forward mail from both my gmail accounts and my yahoo account (hypothetically) to live and just setup live on my phone, then everytime I'll send an email to someone it will say From: xxxxx@live.com and not the email address that it was sent from.

You can set it up so that when you send emails it uses a different email address, when i send emails with my @live address it shows them as being sent from my @comcast email. Just set whatever email address you want to be the main one as the default email address.
