Push email for your mobile


Having trouble getting push email to your smart phone?

(Push is instant delivery vs periodically checking).

Several new phones support push email, but your mail provider may not, in comes mobipush.com who offers free push forwarding. They allow you to forward up to 5 Accounts free. Just click on Free signup on their site.

The setup is drop dead simple, just give it your current email and password, and the site will detect the proper settings.

Next you are presented with 2 choices , you can send a txt to your phone which will have a link to a .cab file installer (for Windows based phones only) that will install the settings to your phone or else you can manually enter the settings to your phone. A step-by-step guide on how to configure your device is on their site.

Many phones only support one push account, Mobipush allows you to funnel several accounts into one, using several accounts allows you to centralize your email, but also keep it segregated and organized. For instance check your work email, personal email and junkmail like facebook all from one phone.

There are several other similar services such as emoze.com, but mobipush seems to be the best bang for your buck.
