  • Mobileme/Push Email question

    I was just wondering how push email typically works. I have many emails that I save in various folders on my computer, I wouldn't mind so much if it also pushed those emails to mobileme. However, if I get that email sent to my iphone I would want to archive it in a folder on my mac, but then delete it on my iphone. My limited understanding of mobileme/push email is that if I do something to a message on one device it automatically does it on the other devices. So if I delete a message in iphone it automatically deletes it on my computer and mobileme. Is there a way to bypass this for certain emails? I don't want any of my 8gb space to be used for much email because I will be using that space for music, some tv shows, and the many apps I want from the app store.

    thank you so much for your quick answer. One last quick question. How does .Mac/mobile (the server) actually work with the apps on the Mac. I never subscribed to .Mac so I don't know if the server folders appear on the mail application in mac like the idisk appears as another disk drive. just want to know how user friendly its going to be to switch emails between folders.

  • Question about push email...

    Hi all,
    i have a question regarding this push mail tech.
    how the client will be able to receive a message from the server, without the need for client to check it by it self?
    Is it true the only way to do that is to by keeping a connection between the server and the client opened? If it is, isn't that would be too much thread running on the server if there are a lot of client connected...
    Or there is another way else???

    My understanding is that POP3 email accounts are checked by BIS every 15 minutes and any new emails are pushed to your device. This means a message can take anywhere from 0 - 15 minutes to get to you (average 8 minutes).
    What you can do is create a new blackberry email, which is not a POP3 account and is capable of true push email. Any emails set to this address will be pushed instantly. Then you can set your other email accounts to forward to this address. You should then recevie the emails within a few seconds.
    The problem is this makes replying from the correct address a bit of a hassle so I've just learnt to accept the 8 minute delay.
    I'm still reletively new to Blackberry so please correct me if Im wrong.

  • Question about future of push email & syncing with Mac and PC on iPhone

    I have two questions that I've tried to get answers from at two different Apple Stores, but I get many different answers - so I thought I'd give it a shot here.
    1) I understand that push email is coming in the 2.0 software release this summer - but will that only be for Microsoft Exchange customers? My small business uses DreamHost (a private mail server company) that runs postfix under Debian Linux and supports Courier IMAP...our IT guy told me this, I'm not sure what it all means - he's a PC guy...
    2) Can I sync my iPhone to my Entourage Mail & Contacts from my Mac AND sync my iTunes from my PC? Is this a bad idea?
    THANKS!

    What happens when you try to sign in with the new account on your phone?  Any error message?

  • 2.0 and push email

    I have a 1st gen iphone and I have gmail as my email on my iphone. I have been trying to keep up with updates about what 2.0 will be like and I have a question. Will you only be able to have "push email" if you have a MobileMe acct or will I be able to get push with my gmail?

    Push email will only be offered from MobleMe, Exchange and Yahoo (presumably they won't turn it off). Google has not announced any push service for the iPhone.

  • SMS, push email,  wi-fi and 3G?

    SMS is working under iPhone OS 3.0 here in Japan now
    If messages are sent by phone number they only work in-carrier. But Softbank (the iPhone carrier in Japan) also provides a free @softbank.ne.jp email address for SMS that works between carriers and also between regular PC email. And SMS is included in the basic contract here.
    But... (is this the same in the U.S.?) SMS only works on 3G, not when wi-fi is on.
    So if you have wi-fi turned on your SMS messages simply don't arrive.
    The messages stay at the server though and when you are in 3G you can use an app that Softbank provides that lets you check your SMS messages.
    I did a test before by (1) turning off wi-fi and (2) sending myself an SMS message from my Mac. Sure enough it arrived, with a nice push notification.
    But when I turned wi-fi on and tried again nothing arrived. If I disable wi-fi and use the "check for new messages" app that Softbank provides they do arrive then.
    I work at home, and am on wi-fi almost all the time, so it is fairly useless as is.
    Is this the way SMS works in the U.S. too?
    Another related question - when the iPhone goes to sleep is there a time-out after which the wi-fi also goes to sleep? It seems I've received MMS messages before even when in my house.
    It's all sort of confusing to me.
    In the meantime, Yahoo push email works just fine whether on wi-fi or not. So it's hard to understand the purpose of MMS.

    I called Softbank and they said that's how it works. That's why they supply the separate app to download messages you missed while on wi-fi. In the U.S. does AT&T supply such a separate app to check for MMS messages that don't arrive when you are out of range?
    that is a very cool idea... they have written an app that gets to the mms server via the internet... very clever!
    In the U.S. are MMS messages sent to a phone number or to an ordinary-looking email address?
    most cell carriers offer a [email protected] and a [email protected] here in addition to the messages that get sent to the phone number... here the sms one is usually just your [email protected] and the MMS ones vary from carrier to carrier (you can pick your name on some carriers)
    Here you can use either. But if it is sent to the phone number it must be in-carrier between two cell phones. If sent to the email address it can be between carriers or even between cell phones and ordinary Internet email.
    the us has very good interconnection between carriers... so there is not a problem sending from a sprint cell phone to an att cell phone or verizon to sprint or tmobile to att... they usually can transfer the message with no issue

  • Iphone 3gs email questions

    Hi all,
    I have an an iphone 3gs on Orange. My Internet provider is TalkTalk and I have a purchased private email address via names.co.uk
    I have set up the email address successfully I believe. But it appears that I can only send and receive emails at home?
    I can receive emails via mobile networks but not send ???
    Is this because of talk talk ... and do I need to configure an additional outgoing mail server.
    ALso ... I ve come via blackberry so fond of push email. I bought my wife an iphone3gs. She has configured a hotmail email, and for some reason, it seems that she gets alerted every time she has an email. where as I have to manually press the mail icon before I can check to see if I have mail. How I can I change this? or is this because I am using a purchased email address name???
    Thank you in advance for your technical cures. Please keep them idiot proof thank you so much.
    Best

    I have someone that wants to purchase my iPhone 3GS so I could put the money towards my new phone. If I do sell my phone during the time I wont have an iPhone period, will I be able to keep my data plan an a different phone? Even it's not a smart phone? And when I do get the iPhone 4 what must I do to transfer my plan to that phone?
    You can put your 3G S sim card in another ATT phone and it will automatically become your present number. Therefore, you can sell your present phone anytime you want. Just don't include the sim card with it. When you get your new phone (if you haven't done anything about requesting one of the new data plans), you should automatically get the same unlimited plan.
    The unlimited data plan is nice, but unless ATT changes their minds and allows tethering with the unlimited plan, I think it's of questionable value UNLESS you spend a LOT of time streaming video (read mlb.com or youtube) on a daily basis or streaming music (read pandora.com or sirius).
    For the present, I'm keeping my unlimited plan, but over the last 6 months, I'm only averaging about 1.5GB monthly. And that's mostly because I steam the Sirius App about 45-60 minutes daily while I'm walking. I would lean toward going with the 2GB plan IF ATT would kick up the monthly limit to say 5GB for tethering. I don't see myself doing a lot of tethering, but the 2GB would not cut the mustard for me unless I were to give up my Sirius App.

  • Exchange 2010 and Mavericks Push Email Support

    Hi,
    I am new to OS X and Mac, but not Apple.  I've searcehd high and low and can't find an answer to this question though I suspect the answer is "no" based on what I've been able to decipher from what I've experienced and read.
    Should I expect push email capability with OSX Mavericks and Exchange 2010 using the Apple Mail application, or any other application for that matter?  It seems that the best I can do is fetch every one minute, but I am assuming that is not a very efficient method of checking mail, sepeciall on a corporate-sized email account.
    I have an iPhone and an iPad and both of those receive push emails without question.  I am suspect this is because they use Activesync and the Apple Mail application does not.
    Thank you,
    Paul McGarr

    I can confirm. I was able to add a corporate Exchange account to the OS X accounts handler before Mavericks and I assumed it was being pushed to mail.app since the account would show mail, contacts, calendar and tasks sync in the accounts handler. However, I always suspected there was problem with real "pushing" of email.
    My work Exchange account email would arrive approx 1 - 5 minutes slower to mail.app than any other service. Email, calendar, contacts,tasks push was near instantaneous to Outlook 2011 on the same MacBook Pro, a PC with Outlook 2010, an iPad and an Android phone.
    I believe the mobile devices defaulted to the Active Exchange Sync protocol on the server. I know that OS X doesn't support this but iOS does, so we can rule them out of the equation. You can see this when you add an Outlook.com account to an iOS device. It will push mail, contacts, calendars and tasks in real time if you send yourself a test email. OS X will only fetch mail and notes in the settings options.
    I'm guessing there was always a problem with OS X using any Microsoft protocol to retrieve mail but it is FAR more obvious now. I bet Apple set standard corporate Exchange accounts to fetch and it never truly pushed anything. Of course the AES protocol has never been supported by OS X otherwise it would use it!
    I can't receive Exchange email at all in Mavericks mail.app unless I manually press the check mail button now. Don't forget the server auto discover problems when on the work LAN vs at home.
    I use Windows 7, OS X, Android and iOS devices frequently. I've been looking to commit to a single unified OS/application ecosystem. THE FIRST REQUIREMENT IS THAT THE SYSTEM SUPPORTS MY WORK EXCHANGE PUSH SYNC. I have multiple other accounts like outlook.com, yahoo.com, aol, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc. I find OS X is the most intuitive with the account handling baked into the OS. I cannot make the commitment to commit to the Apple ecosystem when the default account handler doesn't support Exchange push.

  • Problems with Push Email

    I'm having problems with getting push email via iCloud to work on my iPhone 4 (stilling waiting on my iPhone 4s to come in).  I am using iOS 5 and push works for a while and then stops.  If I do a hard reset of the iPhone I can get it to work again for a while (max is about 12 to 16 hours or so), before it stops pushing again.  I have also turned push notifications off as well as iCloud mail and then turned them back on, followed by the hard reset.  Again, push works for a while and then stops.  If it helps to answer this question, I also migrated from Mobile Me to iCloud.
    Does anyone know of a permanent solution to this problem?  Thanks for any insight or help you may be able to provide.
    MDW

    Same for me here! Using iOS5 with iphone 4S. When the mail app isn't running in background it seems like Mails never arrive. Mails seem not to be pushed to the mobile device. With mobile me the sent mails arrived within a few seconds on the iphone:(
    Please fix this apple

  • OSX Server and Windows Mobile 5 push email service?

    Pretty simple question...Can OSX Tiger Server "push" email to Windows Mobile 5 devices natively, or is there a 3rd party option available to do so? Microsoft Exchange 2003 is capable of doing this, however I would like to go all OSX at this point.
    Thanks

    I have been researching this topic for a while now as well and haven't found a satisfying solution. Of course, you could set your phones to establish a connection every say 10 minutes to query if new email has arrived. There are also a number of hints, how to set up a second email address for forwarding messages to e.g. Blackberrys. Another issue, for which I haven't found a solution is how to sync your phone's email with your desktop machine, except for wireless.
    Any progress you hear, please let me know.

  • Is there push email for Gmail?

    ?

    Gmail doesn't currently offer push email, but they have push calendar and contacts. Also you can set the mail app to fetch every 15 minutes to 1 hour and you will indeed get a beep and icon notification showing how many emails have been fetched from the Gmail server. Gmail can be setup for pop or imap!
    I think the big question is do you really plan to get any email so urgent that you can't wait up to 15 minutes between fetches, rather than having it pushed immediately? The Gmail setup works great and with the push calendar and contacts which is much more important in my opinion. I am hoping at some point though Gmail does offer push for their email.

  • Push email (MS exchange) works intermittently after upgrade to ios 5.1 and ios 5.1.1

    I have an iphone 4 with my office email (MS exchange) account configured. Other accounts are Gmail & iCloud.
    Office email is configured as Push, Gmail as Fetch and iCloud as Push.
    Till ios 5.0.x everything was fine. Office emails were getting pushed and there were no issues.
    However after upgrading/restore to ios 5.1 & then 5.1.1 push email mostly does not work.
    Few observations :
    1. Push email works fine when I am at home on wi-fi.
    2. When I leave home for work (therefore on 3G), mails stop getting pushed. Sometimes they get pushed for a period of 1 to 2 hours. Then they stop
    3. Manually fetching office mails also does not work
    4. Strangle accessing the office webmail site in Safari https://mail.xxxxx.com does NOT work. While i can load other sites in safari, the mail site does not load.
    5. In office sometimes in the lift phone switches from 3G to Edge or no signal and then when out of the lift, suddenly mails get pushed, but then stop after some time.
    6. Moment I get onto wi-fi, push emails start working
    7. There is no issue with accessing gmail.
    8. Other push notifications work (gmail app, facebook notifications etc)
    9. There have been no changes to our MS exchange server
    10. I have tried the usual stuff of resetting network settings, rebooting the phone, killing the mail app, going to airplane mode, deleting the mail a/c and recreating etc etc. But no luck.
    Apart from upgrading/restoring to 5.1 and then 5.1.1, there have been no changes. The upgrades were done OTA, restore from 5.1.1.
    However both times I have not set the phone as new and have restored backups.
    Is anybody facing a similar issue ?
    Any suggestions ?

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Has any of this been tried?

  • IPhone 4 vs Blackberry push email--i.e. is the iPhone TRUE Push Email?

    considering hopping on the iphone train, however need to know something about push email that NOONE can answer (not even apple consultants at the store)!
    issue: have blackberry now due to need to get emails and messaging immediately as it arrives in gmail and yahoo account, regardless of whether phone is asleep or not. can the iphone do this?
    i keep getting the answer of you can go into account settings, select push, but then everyone is thrown for a loop when it comes to the push/fetch settings, i.e. 15 min, 30 min, hourly, manually, etc. e.g. no one can answer whether after the email is "pushed" to the iphone at minute 15 (if that is my setting), and i then get an email in my gmail or yahoo account at minute 16, if that email is immediately pushed to the iphone or i have to wait 'til the next 15 minute interval (or fetch it manually).
    also, will the iphone wake from sleep to alert me to an incoming email as long as push is selected--regardless of other settings?
    please help!!! and thanks in advance!!!

    Apart from the "true push" aspect of email, one feature that is sorely lacking on the iPhone, one that for me is quite literally going to be the deciding factor to return to the blackberry, is the notification feature of true push email provided on the Blackberry.
    I'm an on the go business professional. I manage several businesses along side my "day job." While my day job is the most critical, it has two facets and these have two different email addresses from different domains.
    In short my device be it blackberry or iphone, has 11 domains address sending "push" email in various forms, pop, imap, and exchange. Of these 11, between the hours of 9-6pm 3 of these domains are absolutely critical that I respond within 15 minutes.
    On the blackberry, I'm able to set sound profiles that will allow me to differentiate emails using sound by domain. So each of the 11 has a different sound tone as its alert. Without looking at the phone I can determine quickly if the message that was just "pushed" is of the 3 critical domains and take the appropriate action. Unfortunately, the iPhone doesn't have this feature, not natively, thus all mail gets the same tone.
    I get about 30-40 messages an hour, it quickly becomes clear that I'm now tethered to the device just to weed out mail that is important, but not critical.
    So factor that mail is not "true push" in all instances and that there isn't an ability to set unique alerts for the different addresses/domains, a great device is rendered inferior and an inferior device is heralded.
    The apps that are available to address this, all require forwarding the mail message to a 3rd party. Not happening—Corporate would never allow or condone such.

  • Why can't I push emails to 2 different MobileMe accounts on the iPhone?

    Makes no sense since I can set up a Yahoo! Mail account as push alongside a single MobileMe account with push mail as well.
    Every time I set it up, the second account only gives me an option for Fetch or Manual.

    I have the same problem. Here's my setup:
    1) I have my own MobileMe account that I use for Mail, Contacts and Calendar syncing on my iPhone and Mac
    2) My wife uses my MobileMe account for Contacts and Calendars so we use the same calendars and contacts. We just signed her up for her own MobileMe (trial) account to use just for her own PUSH email.
    On her iPhone calendars and contacts sync perfectly via push. When I added her own MobileMe account to use for mail it only gives her the option for either FETCH or MANUAL! This makes no sense whatsoever. I figured it might have something to do with having my MobileMe account associated with her iPhone as well, so I deleted that association but still no options but FETCH or MANUAL for her mail. Prior to getting her own MobileMe account, I her her set up with YahooMail for push email and she was given the option for PUSH.
    All of this makes no sense and is highly frustrating! I wonder if there is a reason and a fix? Anyone?
