Hello all, I found posts elsewhere on here, but no answers and old threads, and didn't want to respark them so help would be appreciated.
I have an HTC Thunderbolt with HTC Mail App (obviously) and would like to set it up for immediate email reception. Other people have reported getting email notifications within 5 seconds of sending themself a test email but I'm not even close to having this happen. My email client is gmail.
For those of you that are going to do the same old song and dance, I'm not interested in using the gmail app, or K9, or whatever you most likely going to tell me to use anyways. I've done my homework, done many trial and error, and the stock HTC Mail app is what I'm going with, and now I want to optimize it.
What I've found so far is to set my gmail account up through activesync, and use the following:
email address: my full email address
server address: m.google.com
domain: google
username: my full email address again
password: my password
check for requires encrypted SSL connection
Now I talk about this ^ like I know what I'm doing, but this is what I've picked up from multiple other sites. It works, but it isn't fast at all. Matter of fact, I sent myself a test message half hour ago and still haven't got it yet. Maybe set up as different account type? Different settings? Settings within gmail (actual online mail client) itself? As rediculous as many may think it is, I need my email immediately. I don't have that right now. If anyone could help me to figure out why, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks all
