Free Push Mail over Windows Live Hotmail Beta!!! WM6

[Guest emyllis]

Hi all...

Now with Windows Live Hotmail and WM6, we have push email support for free! And it works fantastic. Sign up for Windows Live Hotmail beta here and on your WM6 device, open up Windows Live and configure your device as shown here

Why is this posted in the Hermes section! I almost missed it!

Every time I change mine to As "As items arrive" it changes back to Manually :rolleyes:

It looks like it's not working, but it does persist the selection. You need to be signed in on MSN from the device at the same time for it to work, that was what I found.

Push mail is still really annoying though!

I tried it out... my take:

Its rubbish.. For push e-mail to be working, you need to be connected to MSN full time which means

1. Say goodbye to your battery life

2. It won't work if you sign in on your computer because it doesn't automatically try to sign in again.

I give up.

You dont have to be signed into MSN all the time, that is just totally not true!

I've just set it up, and whilst I don't have to be signed in the whole time, it does keep a data connection live.

May as well just configure POP3 to d/l every 30 minutes, IMHO !
