700wx setting up email (push / direct) - Treo Forum

saltybutter · 09-28-2006, 12:35 PM

hi everyone. i'm new to the forums and new to smart phones. just got a 700wx and set up POP email access through gmail, but i am trying to find out what i need to set up instantaneous email or what is called push/direct. so i won't have to waste batterry checking my email every 5 minutes or so. i was told that I have to be on an exchange server for that. is anyone using mail2web (Personal Exchange)? does anyone know if thats what i need? also will i need to set up the progam GoodLink on my phone in order to get push/direct?

sorry about the newbie questions. all of this is confusing to me. thanks in advance.

You WILL need to use an Exchange Server. You will NOT need to use Good Link. I don't use GoodLink, so someone else can explain what that's all about. I use a friends Exchange Server, so no experience with mail2web for me, but from what I read, it's great.
