Push E-Mail on Treo 750?

[steve1215]

Hi,

Thanks to another member I've realized where I was going wrong setting up Outlook to use a specified MS Exchange server from within Outlook on the Treo. Now I'm confused on a related note!

On my XDA-Mini in the 'Comms Manager' there's an option for 'Microsoft Direct Push' , 'Push Direct' or some such. Which seemed to be a pre-requsite before I could use my Mail2Web Live (push e-mail) account? I could be wrong here...

In any event I can't find a 'Comms Manager' option on the Treo 750 so wondered (a) if 'Direct Push' was a requirement to be able to use push services such as mail2web.com's and if so, where I might enable it on the Treo.

Thanks,

Steve

From ActiveSync,press menu-->schedule and select 'as items arrive' for both peak and off-peak times.

You'll find all the neccessary settings under programs/ activesync/ settings/ exchange server.

Marvellous, thanks all. Having spent a year getting to grips with the XDA-Mini-S (Wizard) I'm slowly starting again with the Treo.

My next experiment is going to be to see how three different UK 'Pay As You Go' networks (3, Voda & T-Mobile) compare on price over a week's use of push e-mail. None of them were able to confirm how they handle billing for such small but regular bursts of data used with push. So I'm going to see for myself.

The results will be posted here as soon as I have some useful data.

Cheers,

Steve

Have a hosted exchange server and whom ever wrote go to AS->Settings and select "As they come in" is correct.

But be careful... I'm not sure what is draining my battery so quickly... The HSPDA hack, Bluetooth or the Push Email.

I've done a hard reset (to clear out the hack) and have BT disabled when I'm not using it... Now to see if it's Active Sync that's the culprit.

PS: I've also ordered a Seidio extended battery and cover... 'cause I can't live without my push email.

Also, if you are using hspda, or umts, the battery does get drained quite quickly, so i went in phone settings, network selection, and chose gprs...slower but more battery efficient :)
