Hi Thanks for that. I am still an old xp user, with older mail software, so I still need to change all of that to be able to do as you suggest. I am in South Africa.
Thanks a lot for helping.

Outlook.com which used to be Hotmail and then Windows Live is of course Microsoft's email service and they use Exchange Active Sync rather than IMAP and email, contacts and calendars are fully supported on multiple devices. Also Push works well and you get email notifications instantly when an email arrives. Of course changing email accounts can be quite an undertaking and you might want to try the gmail app for your email rather than the native mail app. By the way, where are you from, sounds like quite a german name.

It does explain what happened. I have since discovered that I had the setting to fetch mail manually, so that also caused problems. I did not know that gmail was not fully supported, and it seemed strange to me that the phone has to be told how often to look for mail rather than just receiving it when it comes. What kind of accounts would one then have to use for the feature to be fully supported? Thanks a lot for helping.

And the most that you can get pushed email would be every 15 minutes I hope I've helped you and if you have any other questions do not hesitate to email me.

For some reason I get no allerts when new mail should arrive. I think I have everything on, in the notification center as well as in settings where mail and calendars are being set up. The minute I actually open the mail app, the mail will be updated and it appears like it should. What could I be missing here, as I tried all sorts of things to make it work. All other notifications work fine. Any ideas? Help will be appreciated. Regards Jan Kleinhans -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.
