Guest pd.ryder Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 Don't T-Mobile offer a push service? It's not something I'm overly concerned with atm as I don't find pushing the 'Send/Receive' button too tricky, but I'm sure I've seen something on their website about it. Take a look here if you're on T-Mobile :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Confucious Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 Setting up my own exchange server was one of the best things I ever did! I had a Blackberry a few years ago and loved it but MS push email does most of what a BB does but so much more! I did like the threading on the BB - you could see all your messages to one person in one place, but MS's superior attachment handling and the low cost of implementation make it a winner! Just my opinion but for me the BB is dead! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest waroffice Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 confucious, could you do a little tutorial on how to set up exchange. I got it to sync with exchange its just the directpush bit im a little stuck with. How does exchange know what your mobile number is etc? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jimbouk Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 It doesnt need to know your mobile number - unless you are using an older version of exchange and set it up to do sms sync triggering. Assuming you are using the correct version, have you installed the ssl certificate - as exchange 2003 sp2 is set up to allow it by default. Also do you have an ISA server between your device and the exchange server? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest touficjohn Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 I was thinking of writting up a tutorial on how to connect to a typical (like mail2web) exchange service. Though, I've been thinking about running my own (exchange server) for over a year now... Anyone else done it? You been able to do it without the need of DYDNS?

Thanks everyone A friend who knows what he's doing set mine up and I know when he first set the cert up on the server he didn't do it right (wrong leel or something) but if you get the cert on the server and on the phone it should work. The thing we did first tho was allow non secure access just to make sure it works - but that's rather like turning your virus checker off and not recommended except for a quick test!

Guest FlangeArtist Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 Hi All, What I want to know about the difference between PUSH and PULL email, is the battery usage. I have PULL set-up at the moment to pull my email from my POP account every hour. Does someone know what the batter usage is for this (assuming that there is no need to download any emails). Then does anyone know the battery usage for an hour of using PUSH email, again assuming that there is no need to download any emails? The reason I ask, is that I don't really have that much of a need to have almost instant delivery of email using PUSH. However, if the batter usage is not that much different, then I'd probably set it up. (have a spare laptop at home, that I could use with my licensed version of M$FT Exchange).
