Free Email service that pulls Imap?


Recommended Posts

Wondering if there are any free E-mail services that will pull from an imap account?

Crappy pocket outlook gives me an error 80%(pulls headers, then says error syncing - or it just says error syncing...they are *nix boxes ) of the time when connecting to my servers to pull email.

Heck even a free app i can install on the server to pull the email might work too.

Thanks!

There is Gmail (gmail.com) that pulls from an imap server (really good).

and also Yahoo! Mail (mail.yahoo.com) that pulls from an imap server. If you use your omnia to get the settings, it takes a little bit for a first sync (up to 2 minutes) but after that, youre good. If you get the pop settings...... good luck with it working. But it should automatically pull the imap settings.

All free for life... both have 1gb of storage.

Don't know if it will help you, but the only way I could get my gmail accounts setup and working on my Saga or Omnia was to use Emoze. It's free push email AND gets IMAP working with poutlook. Not sure if that will help you.

Try Seven. (http://community.seven.com)

Been using it for about 3 months with with no real problems. Supports all branded email services and allows imap and pop connectors to email servers such as domino and exchange.

Its beta at the moment, but there is a good support forum if you have problems.

I tried Emoze and could never get it to work on the Omnia.

Not sure what the OP has, but FWIW, Seven does not support the Verizon network (hence, why I use Emoze).

Installed the Seven Beta and seems to be working pretty well so far today. I am on Verizon and no problems so far on day 1.

If you want authentic push-mail (the mail is sent to you're phone, not the other way around) you need an exchange account.

It's ofcourse possible to push with imap but then you need a 3th party between you're phone and the mail-server that handle the requests. I'm pretty sure there are some Linux apps that simulate exchange pretty identical.

This Seven Beta seems to be a simulated push(from imap). So far so good on it.

I actually have it set that its always the weekend, so I just send/receive when I am out of the office manually ( no errors like before even though its poutlook...something to do with them as a middle man I think )

You can def tell its beta as it is slow retrieving email, but I can settle for that as I dont really get errors yet like before.

Hmm.. I've been looking into push email for a while now. I have tried Emoze, but it gets buggy. I tried seven but never got it to work. Does anyone care to share the cab they might have used?

Over at xda, they have something called outlook gmail beta with something called Imap Idle - but i haven't gotten that to work either. There is also something called Funambol, but I don't believe that is a true push email app. Anyhow, would love to try the proper cab for SEVEN.... please share.
