You can have push mail on any account on POP3/IMAP,MS Exchange or Lotus Domino.There is a native email client to do this(not sure if the native app can handle all protocols) as well as free and premium apps with better functionality:

Seven Mail

K9 Mail

nopes.. you can't have push mail if the server doesn't support it. Pop3/Imap servers generally don't support it so they are poll based only. No idea about Lotus Domino.

OK Guys, since my plans for the Samsung Spica got destroyed, i've now set my eye on the HTC wildfire..

 

Yay or Nay and why??

Between the Spica and Wildfire

 

Pros:

The Wildfire has multi touch, A LOT more ram, FM Radio, 5Mp camera with flash. Sense UI

 

Cons:

Has a weaker porccy (520 Something..Mhz The Spica has a 800Mhz), Lower screen resolution(240x320 .. The Spica has 320x480), The phone laggs a bit

 

The Wildfire is probably the best piece to go for after the Spica, I'm gonna wait a bit before getting a new phone though..

 

 

thanks, i have a few more questions

 

i saw htc touch 2, slightly cheaper ? is that good enough phone? or u would still recommend me the wildfire

 

i also found out about google navigation on android phones, will it work on wildfire? what about games, will they run smoothly?

 

can any1 recommend me a good reliable dealer in mumbai? do i have to worry about imported/software unlocked/factory unlocked phones here...

 

sorry for the so many questions, i have never purchased and HTC or android phone before

The Touch 2 uses Windows mobile, so you wont have the huge App market Android users enjoy. Other than that the Touch 2 and Wildfire are quite similar. Pretty sure the Navigation works on the Wildfire, no idea bout the games.

 

To be honest i'm not too fond of the Wildfire, but like i said earlier its the best and cheapest Android based phone available in the market atm.

My understanding is that the app sits in between the mail server and the mobile device,polling the mail server and pushing the mail to the mobile device.

The app I mentioned(Seven Mail) clearly mentions push support for a number of protocols including:Exchange, Yahoo, HoTMaiL, POP3, IMAP.

yeah that is possible but then this is an issue now.. They have introduced another server component in between so basically your passwords and your email etc are being stored on their servers. I wouldn't like that at all..

Edit: Plus this is still not "true" push mail as I'm sure their servers will have some limit to how frequently they can poll your email accounts. It would be difficult for any company to have servers that poll thousands (maybe much more) email accounts every few seconds..it would be better to use polling from your phone at regular intervals than give up your security and still not have true push mail

Had been using an old 3500c and got my N79 from Nokia Care yesterday. They sent it all the way to Delhi to rectify some Bluetooth issue.

 

And they were even nice enough to replace the front panel's metal rim cos it had been scratched and the phone keypad which had had some fading and even replaced the USB cover which had fallen off :lol: All within the Nokia Care Protect 1 year warranty extension

Its available. It was going as low as 27k a few weeks back. Forum, Koramangala has it. There are these stores opposite Raheja Arcade in Koramangala even they were selling it for a good low price.

The Indian Intelligence Agencies are so incompetent? They want to ban BB just because they dont know how to monitor their highly encrypted emails, which is the USP of the BB service and why its chosen by corporates worldwidde!!

Highly irritating turn of events!
