POP3 email push like my Droid does....

I am a little disappointed that I can't push my business pop3 email account like I can with my old Droid. We don't have an Exchange server so is there any work around for this or will it ever become an option?

Hello bfrasure,
It is very convenient to be able to use the trusted devices feature on your previous phone. This is a software for Motorola devices to allow the phone connect to trusted Bluetooth devices. At this time, this is not available with the iPhone, however, there may be third party applications that function similar to the trusted devices feature. If you decide to download a third party application, please be sure to read reviews to understand how it may affect your device.

N8 email PUSH like in the blackberry

is it possible to have a PUSH notification system like on the balckberry?

My iPhone is on the O2 network (UK) and I think this might be my problem. Which network do you use?
I initially thought that if the problem doesn't lie with the iPhone itself then perhaps it's Yahoo? So I checked out their site:
http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mobile/devices/iphone/iphone-15.html
Here it clearly states that it's the carrier network and not Wifi that pushes emails:
"If you are accessing your emails via a Wi-Fi connection you will also want to verify that you are connected to the carrier network. Push Mail notifications can only be delivered through the carrier network and not Wi-Fi."
As I am also experiencing the same problems with my iCloud email account on my iPhone this kind of makes sense. In addition to this I have family members who receive, reliably, push notifications from Yahoo mail but on their blackberry’s and the Orange network. Not O2.
I think O2 could be the bottle neck here?

POP3 Email on Droid and on computer's Outlook

We have some personal POP3 email accounts with an internet service provider, and we've been using MS Outlook to retrieve and manage them.
We just got a Droid X, and set up these personal email accounts on it, and after some struggles finally got emails to start coming into the Droid.
HOWEVER, whatever mail messages go the Droid are now NOT going to Outlook like we want it to. Before the DRoid, we had a BlackBerry, and the emails worked fine, all emails going both to Outlook and the BB. But now it looks like each email only goes to one or another.
What can we do to make sure the emails go to both?

Is there a voice recording app for ipad that shares directly via iMessage (not just email) - like voice memos does on iphone?

Does any-one perhaps know whether there's a voice recording app for ipad that shares directly via iMessage (not just email) - like voice memo does on iphone?

You can't do anything in the background of iOS. Apps are still one at a time (with a few exceptions like Music), and suspend when the app is closed. It's also against the App Store guidelines to sell apps that would allow such actions.
Though, maybe you could get your Voice Memos saved to MP3's, which can play in the background of other apps.

Can icloud email receive email messages from another account by automatically retrieving them like my iphone does. Microsoft calls this pop mail

I have an iphone and an ipad. I don't have an Exchange email account pulling all my messages from my verizon email account into my apple devices. My husband uses his Outlook computer at work to create 2 Inboxes on his iphone (one is his work email Inbox and one Inbox is his pulling from his personal account). I noticed using an Exchange-type email program with the iphone allows for features I want. I want to check email on my phone and ipad. I ALSO want to be able to file emailed coupons into an Inbox coupon folder on my phone and ipad for easy retrieval. It seems the icloud email program will let you do all of this. It also seems Google offers gmail and it will do this for me. Now that I set up an icloud email address, I can't figure out how to get Verizon email pulled into it. My iphone and ipad pulls my Verizon email but does not allow for Inbox folders. Verizon won't auto-forward emails to another account. Gmail will pull them for me though. Will icloud do this?

Verizon netmail just offered auto email Forwarding. So, even though icloud might might not offer the services Gmail and other email programs offer to pull email, it seems I might still be able to accomplish what I want using the other email account's ability to forward my email to my icloud email address. We'll see. Please reply if you know the answer to the icloud's ability to pull email in a way like pop-mail does for pc users. It would have helped me if I could've found the answer to that question in this support forum...

How can i get my POP email pushed to my iphone5 instantly (not every 15 minutes) like my old blackberry did?

how can i get my POP email pushed to my iphone5 instantly (not every 15 minutes) like my old blackberry did?

You can't, RIM uses a proprietary mail server (in Canada) that pushes mail to BB devices. You will need to get an iCloud, Yahoo, Gmail Exchange, or Exchange mail account to pust mail to your iPhone.

Have 1 POP3 email account I want to work like IMAP email in icloud. Apple suggested created a new Apple ID just for POP3. Has anyone tried this to see if it works and will delete across multiple devises?

Have 1 POP3 email account I want to work like IMAP email in icloud (keeps my iMac, iPhone, ipad mail in sync). Apple suggested trying creating a new Apple ID just for that POP3 email. Has anyone tried this to see if it works and will delete/update across multiple devises? Would mean keeping up with two Apple ID accounts but only other alternative I know of is paying for monthly service for Microsoft 365.

would I be able to "upload" (not sure how else to say it) my existing folders and subfolders containing all my emails so that they are all available on my new IMAP service, while still being available on my Mac?
Not easily, no. There's no direct transfer option between POP and IMAP, especially across email providers. The best you could do would be to forward all of your emails to your new address, although it's not clear that you need to - dropping your sbcglobal.net account doesn't instantly render all your existing mail void - it'll still be in your Mail client, you can still read it, search it, etc., it just won't be on your provider's server.
I have toyed with the idea of getting a MobileMe account. Would that solve my issue/question above?
MobileMe would be viable, especially if you're interested in synching your various iOS devices. It's not free, of course, unlike Yahoo and Gmail, although you've already discounted them...
I have also toyed with purchasing my own URL, but it's hard to tell from the sites (1and1, Namecheap, etc.) if they come with IMAP email accounts included.
Some registrars offer email hosting bundles with a domain registration. This could be a good way to go. GoDaddy, for example, have a email hosting option for domains you register with them.

When typing email address that I have sent emails to before what setting do I need to change so my computer will remember these email addresses, like explore does? I can't find my email settings?

This is called autocomplete. Please read the article [[Form autocomplete entries are not saved]], as it should solve the problem.

Does email Push server work?

My server is working fine, everything on it works, but I activate the push services and nothing gets pushed to our iPhones. I can get email through the iphone via IMAP or POP but email never gets pushed to the iPhone. Has anyone got this to work?

iPhone's Mail App doesn't support e-mail push feature from Snow Leopard Server.
Push on the iPhone work, if you use Gmail, Microsoft Exhchange, MobileMe services as you Mail server, but SLS doesn't supported yet.
Also, i was tested new iOS4 GM on my iPhone 3G, and discovered that, email PUSH functionality from SLS still doesn't supported.
May be situation will be changed in the new realeases of iOS4.

POP3 email marked as read on server before being read

Problem: Emails downloaded to my iPhone are marked as read on the server, even when they have not been read on either the iPhone, server/webmail or any other email client. When iPhone recieves a new email, it is listed as unread on the phone but on the server's webmail the same email will be listed as read. This sounds exactly like the problem described here, but unfortunately there was no solution to that discussion. The main issue for me when trying to find the new/unread email via webmail, when my inbox is sorted by conversation/thread, is that all the emails look the same. The new email is not highlighted differently (ie. unread) to the other 99 emails on the page and so is difficult to find.
More information: My iPhone is supplied by my employer and is used primarily for work. The primary mail account is configured to sync with my employer's Exchange server. This all works fine. I have added a second account to send/retrieve SMTP/POP3 email to/from my home ISP's mail server. This all works fine too (but with the above mentioned problem). With my previous phone (Windows Mobile), this same setup worked fine but without items on the server being marked as read.
Example: At work, on my PC, I have a web browser tab open on my home ISP's webmail page. The iPhone chimes and displays a new email notice on its lockscreen. Without touching the iPhone, I check my webmail on the PC to read the new email. In the list of emails in my webmail Inbox, the new email is already marked as read, even though I have not yet opened it on the iPhone nor via webmail. Futher to this, if I send myself an email from work to home, and immediately check my webmail, I can see the email listed as unread. Without opening the email, if I allow the iPhone to check for new email (or manually make it check) but do not open the new email, then refresh the webmail page, that new email has now become marked as read.
Further information: My ISP does not offer IMAP; this is stated very clearly on their user help/email setup wiki pages. My iPhone is configured to use their POP3 server address and port 110, the same as I have configured on my home PC. My work email account is configured for Push, my home account is configured for Fetch - hourly. The account advanced settings... Deleted Messages=never remove, Use SSL=off, Authentication=password, Delete from server=never, Server Port=110, S/MIME=off.
Any ideas that the heck is going on here?

Use OWA (Outlook Web Access) Not POP3 Settings
Use OWA (Outlook Web Access) Not POP3 Settings
Use OWA (Outlook Web Access) Not POP3 Settings
Okay. This is doing this because your bb is not logging into the owa (outlook web access), it's using POP3. In order to use owa it must be enabled on your exchange server (ask your admin if you have this option). An owa address is something like https://mail.yourcompay.com/owa, depending how your admin set this up it could be named something else. You can either get to this option through your phone companys (BIS) website or on the bb itself.
If you use your phone companys website (BIS) to configure this option just log in and find the topic that reads something like this -
"How do I set up BlackBerry Internet E-mail using a My T-Mobile Account?"
This will give you the instruction for setting up the account for owa. (Took me a little bit to find this in my tmobile account.) During this setup there should be an option to check called use owa. You have completed the setup and never saw that option then start over and find that option.
If you go through the bb's setting on the actual device the way to get to this option is kind of strange (at least it was the only way I could figure out how to get to it on my phone).
I started by deleting the email account off the phone then added a new account. Go back to the account setting and change the password to a wrong password. After you select "ok" or "next" or whatever to get to the next screen you will get a message saying could not connect to server or error or something like that. Now you should have a option to configure the device manually. This option will get you to page to allow you to select OWA. Then just configure you bb for owa and you are good to go.
Sorry this is such a crude post. I usually take the time to give very accurate, step-by-step instructions, but I do not have time. Good luck to all with this issue.

I need to access advanced setting on my iphone whilst setting up a pop3 email account

I need to access advanced setting on my iphone whilst setting up a pop3 email account. I have entered all of the required details but when it comes to verifying the account it does not progress any further and remains at the verification stage. I need to go in some how and change the security type and the port numbers. I believe this is in advanced setting but I dont know how to get there.
Any help appreciated

Can you clarify whether this is a POP or IMAP account? I suspect it is POP (and that messages have never been deleted off the server for the life of the account) but I'd like to make sure that is the case.

Only Download New Unread Pop3 Email?

One of my email accounts is a yahoo hosted pop3 account. In the past I have left all my email on the server (7k + messages). When I access this account on my iphone it is downloading old email that has already been read in my email client on my computer.
1) Is there a way to force the iphone to only download new unread emails in this pop3 account (similar to turning recent off in gmail)?
2) Is there a way to tell the iphone that the 7000 messages have already been viewed and I don't need to download them and to only download email from today forward?
Ideally, what I would like it for my computer email client to continue to receive my hosted pop3 email regardless of whether or not it has been read as it does today. But, I would like my iphone to only download new messages that haven't been downloaded by another pop3 client.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Hi DIBV,
To further elaborate what Xandrex mentioned please follow the below steps -
To integrate a Post Office Protocol (POP) or Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) email account using the Email Settings application from the BlackBerry smartphone, complete the following steps:
For BlackBerry Device Software 4.5-
1. Open Email settings on the BlackBerry smartphone.
2. Click Add an email account.
3. Enter the Email Address and Email Password, then click next.
4. If the BlackBerry Internet Service gives the following error: Invalid email address or password. Verify your email address and password. If the error persists, contact domain.com, select I will provide the settings.
5. Select POP/IMAP (Most common).
6. Enter the Email Server and User name, then press next.
The email account should then be successfully added.
Note: In some cases, I will provide the settings may not appear. To force this option to appear, enter an invalid email address such as [email protected] and an invalid password.

Syncing with POP3 email accounts

I'm just about at my wit's end, having spent the last few days trying to get MobileMe to do what Apple claims it can do. It can't.
That said, I now must figure out how to get my iPhone to directly access and sync with a couple of POP3 email account I have. I have tried going to settings, choosing "other", and adding in the correct info. It says that it "can't make the connection with SSL" and would I like to try without that, but when I say "OK", that doesn't work either.
Why is this so difficult? I replaced a Treo with this iPhone and am now having second thoughts. I mean, it can't access a POP3 account? What 90% of the world uses? I thought the iPhone was ready for "real" usage and not just a kid's phone. Frustrating. I just want to read my email... this should be "PDA 101"
OK, enough raving. Anybody know what I'm doing wrong?

Regarding email, what I was trying to do was have access to my already existing email, not the me.com email. He told me that I’d be able to sync my existing emails with MobileMe... but you can't, at least as far as I can tell.
A MM account can check the incoming mail server for a POP account - this option is available at the MM website. Messages received from a POP account will be downloaded to the Inbox mailbox for your MM account. The downside is when replying to or forwarding a message received from a POP account. The reply or forward will be sent from your MM account.
The idea is to use the MM email account as your email account. I've had a .Mac account for some time which was converted to a MM account. I moved quite a bit between 2000 and 2004. At the time, I was using the email account provided by my ISP. Every time I moved, I had to change my email address, and most ISPs don't provide or support an authenticated SMTP server. I started using a PowerBook as my primary computer in 2000 and if I wasn't connected to the internet via my ISP, I was unable to send messages with the email account provided by my ISP. I decided to start using my .Mac account as my primary email account which solved a number of problems for me. When moving, I didn't have to change my email address and since .Mac has an authenticated SMTP server, I was able to send messages with my .Mac account regardless the ISP used for my internet connection.
MM continues this for me with my PowerBook and with my iPhone. I can send messages with my MM account regardless the ISP used for my internet connection - with the Mail.app on my Mac, with the iPhone's Mail client, or with Outlook or OE on a Windows PC.
Meanwhile, I’ve set up these two email accounts and both can receive email but neither can send, although my me.com address will send & receive.
Because a MM account has an authenticated SMTP server, and your POP accounts probably don't. Who is the email account provider for these POP accounts?
I spent about 1/2 hour this afternoon with Apple tech support who couldn't figure that out and told me I need to do a complete factory reset on my iPhone, which will bring it back to original factory specs, causing me to loose all downloaded programs, information, etc., although I could back it up first with iTunes.
If you are syncing contact information and calendar events over the air with your MM account and your contact information and calendar events are available at the MM "cloud", this data will not be lost when doing a restore with iTunes. Other than that in regards to contact information and calendar events, the iPhone is designed to be synced with the supported application on your computer. If you aren't syncing contact information and calendar events over the air with your MM account, you should be syncing this data with the supported application on your computer and if so, this data remains on your computer and will not be lost when doing a restore with iTunes.
All downloaded applications from the app store should also be available in your iTunes library, which won't be lost when doing a restore.
iTunes creates and maintains a backup of your iPhone for all data on your iPhone not included with the sync process such as; most settings, SMS messages, notes, recent calls, call favorites, data stored on your iPhone by 3rd party applications, and photos captured by your iPhone - but I wouldn't depend on this one. Photos captured by your iPhone should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera.
Your iPhone's backup is updated if needed as the very first step during the sync process. Before restoring, the first step should be a sync to update your iPhone's backup if needed.
Since all data available on your iPhone is included with your iPhone's backup or should be available and remain on your computer such as your iTunes content, photos transferred from your computer to your iPhone, etc., nothing will or should be lost during the restore process.
I had a Treo before the iPhone and setting up the email on it took me about 5 minutes. The contacts and calendar sync flawlessly with Outlook, and the setup for that was probably 15 minutes.
Which application did you use to sync your Treo direct with Outlook on your computer for contact information and calendar events?
So my secondary point is that the iPhone is not really ready for corporate life yet unless you are willing to put a LOT of effort into setup, which I was.
A MobileMe account is not designed for business use - it is designed for personal use and the idea is using the MM email address and account as your primary email account/address.
I access my MM account and a business POP account with the iPhone's Mail client. Setup for both took minutes. Both accounts have an authenticated SMTP server and I've never had any problems sending with either account for over a year with my first generation iPhone, or with my iPhone 3G. This is when connected via various wi-fi networks with different ISPs and via EDGE or 3G.
If you are trying to access legacy POP accounts that don't have an authenticated SMTP server, you will have problems. I don't know what was different with your Treo in this regard, but the device has nothing to do with an ISP blocking the use of SMTP servers that are outside of their network or not provided by the ISP being used for the internet connection unless the SMTP server is authenticated. Most if not all ISPs block the use of SMTP servers that are outside of their network or not provided by the ISP unless the SMTP server is authenticated. This has nothing to do with the iPhone.

IPhone checking POP3 email downloading too much data. HELP

Can others confirm this problem?
I have an Iphone 3gs 16gb. I have 2 mail accounts. If I click the mail account it will connect, check for mail, then say updated. I do this on both of the mail accounts.
I then check my usage under settings, and the iphone has used 884KB to check for email. I've attempted this on 2 seperate iphones.
Can someone else confirm this same problem happens to them? What this means is if you have 2 email accounts set to check every 15 minutes, you'll blow right through your 2 GB cap, JUST ON EMAIL.
As a side note, checking for new emails using POP3 is supposed to use about 6kb or less of data usage. So, it appears the iPhone pop3 email reader has some serious issues.

Do you have push notifications turned off? Have you used any applications prior to checking e-mail that uses any of the dozen features that requires data like Maps/GPS? It is possible if you have multiple things running including e-mail that it's the 800Kb along with e-mail.
Most users run IMAP protocol however instead of POP protocol. If your e-mail company serves IMAP this may be lesser usage and it includes several features including calendar and contacts.
