mail2web push email question

[Guest thewitney]

I'm very happy using mail2web to deliver push email to my M3100, it works very well.

The only issue I have is that when responding to emails that have been sent to my ntl email account and then pushed via mail2web to my phone the response emails I send are from the mail2web email a/c. This confuses people as they send to one email address and recieve a response from another.

I contacted mail2web to ask if they had a service where emails I send from outlook were from my own email providers address rather than theirs. The response was:

"You could do this using SMTP proxy addresses. Messages would appear to be coming from the other email account and replies would go back to that account"

Could someone please explain in simple terms for me what their response means and how I would set this up?

Many thanks.

Well I have been using mai2web some months and to get email proxy you have to pay for their mothly service which for me was 2 bucks a month and just set SMTP proxy address to what address you want people to see when you send a email hope that helped

I also asked Mail2web about the same thing plus the fact you cant save sent emails. They said I needed to upgrade and pay for a service that eliminates these anomalies. I was not keen on that so I lived with it. Then a few weeks ago www.consilient.com released a free Push Email application that you download and install on your phone. It's different to Mail2web in as much that nothing is stored on the web but you can login to their site to manage your ac.

Most web based emails and Pop can be routed thru Consilient and pushed to your phone. Also it solves the anomalies above. At this juncture, only one email can be routed with WM phones, whereas other phones (Nokia, Samsung Etc) can handle about 5.

So in my case I use Mail2web for other Mail2web users (mainly my family) and Consilient for my Gmail ac. I never have to login to Gmail to send messages anymore. I send straight from the phone via the Consilient client and it pops up in the recipients inbox as if from my Gmail. It works great.

Finally, there is something that you may not be aware of re Mail2web. If you login to the Mail2web site; say to check your sent messages, you will not be able to logout again if access is gained via PIE on your phone. There is no logout button. I brought this to the attention of Mail2web. They said they are working on it. This of course does not apply to a PC or access via Opera Mini. A hard reset is your only recourse if it bothers you that your ac is always open. Luckily the new Sprite Mobile Swipe is available if your phone is lost or stolen.

Cheers.

Edit: Just found out that you can Sync your Mail2web Sent Folder on your phone so Sent messages can be saved. So there is now no need to login to the Mail2web site to check your sent messages.
