Okay guys, If you sent me an email I prob did get it! but the odds are that when i replied it got sent to your junkmail (I know yahoo does this) so check there, if you have not recieved anything from me, shoot me an instant message on here, and we can do it that way!

If you have concerns about privacy or hosting information on unknown servers, you should never, ever, ever use the internet again! even google stores the searches you make on some unknown server, and have you ever actually seen a server that host your email ? prob not. But just to reassure all of you skeptics, my server uses 128bit encryption and runs out of Richmond Virginia in a small office building.

As for whats the difference between this and mail2web, well Im assuming that you are using mail2web if you are asking this, so i will just tell you of the additional features:

1) direct push email support

2) sync with outlook web access

3) sync all contacts, events, tasks and email automatically

4) email alias addresses

there is more, but those are the main reasons that i set it up.

I have over a hundred people signed up and still going strong, so if you are intrested, registration is still open so shoot an email to register@port88.org and dont forget to check out www.port88.org for more information.

..... being an Exchange Admin myself, exchange has been setup in my corp so that admins can read everyone's emails if need be... not that i do

Just hope you lot know this when using this service....
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] padlad:
I for one am very very happy with the service and anybody not taking up the offer must be mad!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] austindkelly:
Well thank you, If this is a service someone might need, there is no reason to turn it down, there are not a lot of freebies out there these days.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] DeniaL:
lol i sense some hostility! no need for a response, i'm just being an a$$
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] austindkelly:
heh, its cool.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] dragonedge:
I am also very happy with this service.

What people need to realize is that this is not some business or hugely profitable (if at all profitable) company providing a service, this is one guy nice enouph to offer his machines and software and personal time to us.

When he doesn't get back to you stricktly within 24 hours, realize that there isn't some customer service dept taking care of all your needs, maybe he went out, had to work, took a vacation, lived his life, things we all do on a regular basis but he still manages to get back to you quickly with all things considered.

In summary, he's just a nice guy. If you don't like the service leave, set up your own server, offer it to everyone for free and see how you deal with 500+ people demanding things from you like you were obligated to do so and lets see if you don't become a bit "short" with people.

I get annoyed when freinds and family constantly ask for computer help for stupid problems, I can't imagine 2500+ people that I don't even know.

I personally applaud you Austin, thanks for your time and effort.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] searayatl:
I too applaud Austin. I requested my account and within 30 minutes, I had the info back on how to set it up. After I had it working for a day and it was reliable. I made my donation, and again within 30 minutes I had a response and my email alias was set up. I find that kind of response remarkable!

Thanks for the work on this.

great service!

i personally am very satisfied with AK's push-mail service! there are times when i can't sync but i always keep in mind that Austin is providing a free service and i don't have the right to complain.

austin keeps us posted on what's happening to the servers and to the site, always keeps the users updated.

port88.org w/Outlook for Windows

Hi Austin,

Forgive me if you already answered this question earlier in this thread, but I didn't see it...

I am considering signing up for a Premium account. I would like to access my port88.org-hosted Exchange account through the Microsoft Outlook 2003 for Windows desktop client, not just OWA. It sounded like you were in the process of setting up that option a while back. Did that happen?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] DeniaL:
If he didn't, I offer that service...check my signature.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] tomvdz:

Any update with if he has configured the exchange mail to work with desktop outlook?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] padlad:
It would be great if he manages to sort it, there isn't any more news so far on the website since the implementation of sp2. The service is still excellent though, so i'm not complaining. :-)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] brianmay27:
I was thinking of making my own exchange server but dont want to pay lots of money. Does anyone know of a free one that sync w/ windows mobile and that i can run localy (so on my comp)?

So far I am satisfied with the push feature but I would like to know if there is an SMTP outgoing server address?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] cwestpha:
I would be interested in an account, but need an exchange 2007 server for my WM6 implementation (html e-mail over push is a must). I also need access to the account via the desktop client and alias support (more then willing to make the donation for the alias support.

Do you support this or know of anyone that does? Thanks.

I use cortado.com. They give free exchange + push mail with some commercials. I, myself am paying them the 5 EU to get it commercial free.

Pretty good service.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] austindkelly:
I got no commercials, and its free! plus you can alias any email address you want....

I'm lovin this push email. Feels just like a Blackberry :D
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] zerodb:
This is awesome, signed up today and donated this evening. Great t thing to do for the community here.

Im curious, is there any way I can sync my Mac mail app to the exchange server also? This would be a huge help in keeping my mac, pc, and ppc all on the same playing field. I don't know a damned thing about exchange so I have no idea if this is a difficult request. I tried just entering "exchange serveer" and the same info required to connect with my PPC but that obviously didn't work.

Thanks again!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] DeniaL:
Mac Mail app = no

MS Entourage = yes, assuming that austin has it set up to allow that.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] DR400:
link seems dead ...

I was desperately looking for a service like yours

how can I sign up ?

thx
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] austindkelly:
If you become a premium member you can have access to IMAP and you could sync your Mac Mail.app that way. otherwise you would want to get entourage, which will sync as an exchange server.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] austindkelly:
delays...

There have been some delays in get a few accounts setup in the past month or so. Mostly because i have been on vacation and forgot to turn signups off before i left and they piled up. however all accounts should have been setup by now as i have a clear list.

so if you want an account and have not gotten one or you are new, i suggest signing up at http://www.port88.org/signup.php

Is this exchange mail works with outlook express too? You know you can set exchange server in desktop outlook too. I am using a desktop pc, notebook, and a pda. It would be great if i can sync them all with your exchange server. Is it possible?

Hi Austin thanks for the the great service, i know you said you would not offer support outside the doc to set up desktop outlook connection. i was wondering if anyone else could offer some advice, i can see the boomportal in the himachi box with a green star and i can ping it from there. but when i perform a nslookup boomportal.port88.org i do not get the correct ip address returned, i have turned off my firewall and antivirus.

port88 dead

so it's officially over - the servers were shut down earlier today.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] freeyayo50:
What is the reason behind the servers shutting down?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] TomTheGeek:
While I did appreciate the service I think the guy never really knew what he was doing. He had open shares on his servers and things were going down more often than they should for "maintenance". Not a bad way to learn how to run Exchange actually but I never would have paid for service. He didn't even know about Ghosting drives and wanted me to send him a copy so he could try it out. Anybody that hasn't heard of Ghosting a drive hasn't been in IT for very long.

So anyone know a good Exchange hosting provider?

damn they just changed up on their new accts... https://services.mail2web.com/FreeServices/EmailRetrieval/

everything was free as of last week, now theres a charge, prob cause they switched to exchange 2007 and more mobile devices are on the rise... damn damn damn .

Seven push email is the best

Hi,

You can try http://community.seven.com/main.php. This is community version of seven push email product. I like this product because it allows me to sync n number of accounts plus contact and calendar sync. I am using this on my k-jam and syncing three accounts same time.

Push email is rocking fast and its easy on battery consumption too, only a wizard user can understand this pain :) :)

And you can sync with outlook web access, and sync calendar, contacts, and mail there also.

Probably the same service. Just pick one.

what' wrong with getting your email every 15minutes? it not like u cant wait 15 mintues, 15minutes is not that long! i setup my pdaPhone to connect every 15mintues to get my Gmail..
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] austindkelly:
some people also perfer to have thier contacts and calander synced. And when you work in a corporate enviornment, email is like instant messaging, it gets used so much. So for some instant email is a plus.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] bittermormon:
does your service let you sync to outlook as well as the wizard via exchange??

Not trying to sound greedy, just wondering.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] lburrowes:
Great idea... I will be emailing you...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ClassicalDonkey:
ok so when i have a service, how do i get my mda to let the push button be used?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] austindkelly:
umm, if you have push email service, you should just be able to click it and it will turn green. at least thats what i did with mine. generally though once u add the exchange server to your mda it will automatically turn direct push on.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] austindkelly:
yes you can sync everything with outlook using the web interface.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] markmcrobie:
Can anyone help me? I've set it up exactly as per Austin's instructions, and no matter what I do the only way I get the e-mails is to manually Sync - they don't automatically come through.

Direct Push is turned on in my XDA Mini S and all settinsg are correct.

Another user who had my problem told me a hard reset solved it for him, but if I do that I'll lose all my contacts, etc, no?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] austindkelly:
if you can sync manually it should sync all your contact info onto the server, and then once you hard reset and punch in the server info again it will download it all for you again.

you need to log into the web interface http://mail.port88.org and make sure it is syncing your contacts before you reset. if it is, then no problem.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] lburrowes:
Is this true?

That Exchange server uses SMS to communicate? I need to know if I need to upgrade my SMS plan. I have unlimted data plan now.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] austindkelly:
DOES NOT USE SMS

NO the server does NOT use SMS in anyway. I am not sure where you got that idea from. but again the server does not use SMS. Direct Push and Active Sync are the only thing this server uses.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] lburrowes:
just wanted to make sure... thanks... I just heard it in passing talking to someone who mst have been using the old version that used to notify using SMS
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] austindkelly:
this service in noway will effect your billing.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] markmcrobie:
I got mine working, but it only seems to work if ActiveSync is running (either in the background or otherwise). If I close ActiveSync completely e-mails don't come through

Is this correct?

Also does anyone know of a service that will forward e-mails sent to my normal pop3 account to my port88 account?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] austindkelly:
you do not need a program for forward emails from your pop3 account. just tell your service provider of the email service to forward them for you to your new account. activesync as with any other programs remains active in the memory (if that is what you are refering to). This is normal operation according to the makers of pocketpc software... Microsoft.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] markmcrobie:
Ok, I use InClose to shut programs down completely - but I've answered my own question now by doing a test - with AS shut down totally from memory, my e-mails still come through Direct Push to my XDA, however when I look at what progs are running after I've read the e-mail, ActiveSync is there - in other words the Direct Push service must open ActiveSync when an e-mail comes in.

No biggie, I'm happy now! If only I could get all my mail from my normal account forwarded to my port88 addy I'd be delighted!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] thankins:
You mentioned in the instructions something about an email alias, I assume to let ppl think that you are still using your orginal account (And by that I mean my gmail account or my own pop3 email addy). Where would I find this in the settings? I have looked everywhere!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] austindkelly:
FIXED!

There was an issue with subject lines containing special characters that would not allow you to view that email.

This problem has been fixed!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] elloquito1:
I am working around this push email thing and for now I found 4 (I think) free options:

1- emoze

2- mail2web

3- updating my wm5 which includes new pushmail features.

4- port88

I know here you are talking about port88, but I think though, a good comparison can make things more clear for us, the common and dummiest final users.

for now I am trying emoze, but I can´t make it work through my GPRS connection, so I am wondering if I have to keep trying with emoze or if there is any other better option available.

Another thing is that I read a lot about syncronizing with "outlook" but I can´t understand if this means "MICROSOFT OUTLOOK" (the one I use and the one I want to sync from), or you talk about Outlook Express or about another Outlook possibility which I am not familiar with.

thanks for your time and patience

elloquito1
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] austindkelly:
?

Umm, it is talking about Microsoft outlook. but of course it is not going to magically sync with your outlook there are a variaty of settings that yoyu would need to impliment in order to get it working with microsoft outlook. if your push mail is not working with GPRS i doubt it is because of the service you are using. GPRS has nothing to do with the service type itself. the server does not care where or how you connect.

it sounds like you need to do more research before posting a compairison on how things work with your particular setup.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] SwerveAM:
when emails are sent through your service- will it show up as xxx@port88.org or can you change that reply-to address?

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] tubbyman:
lol im sure everyone really needs to know when your meeting was or the latest peice of office gossip lol, i'm really tempted by this service just wondering is push e-mail particularly difficult to setup? Also i have an email address i dont really want to loose is it possible that the push e-mail can retrieve this e-mail say via imap and send it to me via port88.org and my device or am i dreaming of technologies that dont exist lol
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] austindkelly:
yes all this is possible and i have step by step documentation on how to set this up once you recieve an account.

check out http://www.port88.org/docs.php

for the documentation on how to setup the wizard.

and if your email address that you want to keep has the ability to forward mail, you can forward it to your port88.org account and i can set up an alias to show as the same address that you already have, as your email address.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] bgsdks:
If I read the email on my device, is it going to show up as 'read' when I get back to the office and log into Outlook (we're using Exchange). Same with delete, reply, etc.?
