Hello - and good to be on the forum.
Sorry for posting this twice, but I think I put it in the wrong section before!
I'm new here and looking for advice on some software for synchronising my hotmail email with my N95.
I've been looking around and out of the payed 'true push' email applications I seem to have the choice of:
1. Visto
2. Motomail
3. Seven Always-On Mail
I downloaded the Seven app from http://www.workoutofoffice.com/software/internet_edition/
and have been running it for a week or so quite succesfuly, but not had a chance to try out the rest yet.
Any advice that you guys could offer on mobile email would be helpful as my trial of seven expires soon and I would like to compare it with a couple of other similar applications before making a purchase.
seaney....
I've been keeping my eye on Emoze free push email, they've said that there will be a N95 client out in september.
Cool, Thanks for the tip. Although have to admit, this ALways-On Mail app seems to be doing the job so far 😊
I've been thinking about a push email client for my phone.
Obviously they need a data connection to be always active, have you guys found if it chews through the battery?
Also, do they notify you with sound and a visual message on the display like the built in client?
i use flurry for my hotmail account and profomail for my getting my home emails
I've done a bit of checking and I think that the Emoze app needs a desktop client installed, together with the app on your mobile. Nice thing about the seven always on mail app is that you just have to install one file on the mobile device itself and thats it.... 😊

Emoze suppose to work two ways, either with a software app on the PC or if you use Gmail, just like seven with just one file on the mobile device. Only thing is the N95 app has been promised for September.
I used Seven for a few days, in the end it just took up too much RAM and kept causing stuff to randomly close,
Also I caught it trying to send a SMS message to the USA, wasn't too impressed with that one there...
I am using Mail for Exchange, available free in Download!
Mail2web dot com provide free push mail. To get my hotmail to my hp I register at fastmail dot fm to pop my hotmail's emails to fastmail. Thru mail2web I aggregate all fastmail's email to be push to my hp. Mail2web can also aggregate Gmail but not yahoo and hotmail.
Hotmail pop to fastmail ---->mail2web --> Mail for Exchange push to N95

while it is true that mail2web cannot aggregate yahoo accounts but you can set your yahoo mail account to forward all e-mail to the mail2web account which gets pushed to the phone. 😊
Yahoo > mail2web > phone 😊
mail2web.com are quite good.
Seven i got rid of since it makes the phone slow when its updating.
Right now i am using the built in mail client but i wish it had a more regular update timing system! :frown:
any other suggestions?
SeanMoore, I checked out mail2web and always-on mail.
I had a play with Mail2Web but it looked a bit 'freeware-ish' and have just purchased always-on mail.
Thanks for posting!

It went live this morning, so far it looks good.
No link to Always-On Mail I'm afraid. Don't think I've been on the site long enough to post them.
If you go to workoutofoffice.com though then it's easy to download the free trial 😊
Not bad... does this have the true push functionality of the workoutofoffice.com app? A lot of these apps seem to be more pull than push. Meaning that you have to logon to browse your mail, rather than having them pushed to your device.

Yes it does Howard. The mail is just pushed straight to your device without having to do anything yourself on the phone.
Cheers for the advice....

Concerning emoze: does anyone know if the version that was just recently released actually works without a desktop app with
any generic POP3 server, or are we restricted to Hotmail, Yahoo, and Gmail?
I've been using Seven with a generic IMAP account that I have, and I'm reasonably satisfied with it. However, if I can get emoze to work with that same account (it accepts both IMAP and POP3 access), I'd like to at least try it. The documentation on the emoze site is unclear about this, and I don't want to download and test it on my live N95 unless there is at least a chance that it'll work the way I want.
Thanks.

The Always-On Mail app:
http://www.workoutofoffice.com/software/internet_edition/
doesn't require a desktop app. You just need to install a client on your device...
Unless you use the version that connects to Exchange or Domino that is. Those versions do require a desktop connector.
The standard version does not though 😊
I use this app against my yahoo account. Does the job very well I would say! 😊
Has anyone tried the new Beta of Emoze Pro (available via the Download! app)?
I've had all manner of certificate problems with MfE and Roadsync but this seems to work no problems at all. Still trying to guage how much the battery is affected at this stage.
Apparently the final version is due for release very soon. It's going to be a pay service but apparently around $20 a year so next to nothing.
Not had much luck with Emoze to be honest. I'd stick with Always-On Mail. The new Beta of that supports multiple mailboxes on the same device, which is a nice bonus on the old version to. 😊
I like the multiple mailbox facility in the new version of Always-On Mail. The older version didn't have that, which is what previously gave Blackberry the edge.
I wonder why it is that SeanMoore, SamanthaC, HowardL, and Mann134 ALL have the exact same I.P. address and same naming conventions... and are all bad mouthing any other push client in some way and singing the praises of always whatever mail !
AND
Every post you all have is only to do with your push mail client which you are pretending you are using thats oh so brilliant... come on guys!
ARE YOU SPAMMING THIS FORUM!?
I like Allways-on-Mail! no probs with it
I use the following service. It offers longer heartbeat intervals, which translate to lower on-line costs. Plus, free one month VIP account. The features of the free Standard account are also appealing and very useful. Plus IM and RSS.
