- Hi all,
Having a few problems (well I think) with the push/instant e-mail.
Currently got the �5 instant e-mail from T Mobile, as well as their Web and Walk thing.
However, two things... on the 'desktop' of my BB it shows (1) Uni E-mail... but when I check in the account inbox... there isn't a new one? Why does it say there is?
Secondly, I thought if it was an IMAP server... the e-mail comes pretty much instantly? (Both servers were set as IMAP where I'm receiving the e-mail from)... any ideas on this one?
Many thanks for your help!02-27-08 04:28 PMLike 0 - OK... removed my battery and put it in again... problem solved!
One more thing... which is faster, POP3 or IMAP? (At getting it to the BB).
I can't seem to set my mail accounts up as POP3 - they automatically go as IMAP, yet in my Mail on mac they're are BOTH under POP3... I've actually heard POP3 is faster than IMAP?

If you're using BIS the delivery should be instant either way and I don't even recall being able to specify pop or imap through it. Are you refering to a different delivery service?

How did you set up your email address? Did you set it up on some website or in a application on your Berry. If the latter, what was the application called?
Delivery times for my Gmail account set up through BIS take only seconds to arrive on my Berry from when Gmail receives them.02-28-08 06:26 AMLike 0 - Looks like BIS to me! Maybe they've crippled your BIS access to include only email and not data as well. You don't have internet access, do you? You might want to call T-Mobile to see exactly what service you have and whether your 'instant email' should have delays like that.02-28-08 06:50 AMLike 0
- Spoke to them... and apparantly I do have BIS... so I'm allowed to use BBMessenger and they've got to enable me to use BB Maps... which they've done.
Apparantly there is also a 10-20 minute wait for e-mails to come from POP/IMAP... which is quicker, IMAP or POP... and how do I change this at the instantemail website?02-28-08 09:30 AMLike 0 -
Have you enabled IMAP on your Gmail? You can do this by clicking the 'Settings' link at the top of your Gmail page. From there, click 'Forwarding and POP/IMAP' and then choose to enable IMAP.
Delete your Gmail account from BIS and then re-add it. See if that clears it up for you.02-28-08 09:42 AMLike 0 - Hmmm, the servers are being put down as imap, but I thought they were pop3, infact I'm sure my uni email is a pop3 server.
Don't have a gmail account but going to create one and try that.
Does anyone else experience 10 to 20 min waits for emails from other pop or imap servers added to BIS. Think I'm being impatient heh.
