Is there any noticeable drain on the battery to having automatic send/receive set to every 30 minutes as opposed to every two hours? Other than a little more data useage (unlimited), will I notice a big decrease in battery usage or any other negative effects on my phone?

Thanks

I would say so...how much depends on how many accounts also. Why not use push mail? Way better on your battery! What mail you using?

Start here! In a nut shell you turn off your scheduled sync stuff and get your mail as it comes...

Many flavors!

I set up gmail imap but didn't notice messages coming immediately. And it seemed like all the settings were the same except the server names had imap in them. I still had to set up how often to send/receive.

I don't use Gmail so no flames please. I use Exchange ActiveSync and Windows Live. Both are push mail. To enable push mail I set them to sync As Items Arrive. Was there an option like that for you?

[nmcturner]

nope. I followed the tutorial. I think I'm gonna give up on push for the night.

I installed emoze and it froze my phone. I was finally able to get into the task manager kill it and delete it.

I have a windows live account. The only option I see is to get a text message when new mail arrives. Is this how yours is set up? I would rather not get a text message. I only have 300 text a month. Is that what "push" is, text messages telling you to check your email?

Did you download Windows Live?

[nmcturner]

yep. I am trying to install it on my phone now, but can't figure out how. The curser never lands on the "install" button on my phone, it just skips right over it as if it is unclickable.

UPDATE: found the problem:



Windows Live for Windows Mobile

(Windows Live Hotmail, Contacts and Spaces)

This software does not include Windows Live Messenger. Please inquire with your mobile operator about Messenger access.
