Putty, here is your answer.
Yes, you can use the native Mail application for push email. It is really extremely easy. This is the step-by-step process:
1. Go to phone
Settings.
2. Go to
Accounts and Synch.
3. Select
Add Account.
4. On the screen that shows up, select
Email.
5. On the next screen write your email account (eg.
johndoe@gmail.com) and your password.
6. Click on
Manual Setup (
DO NOT CLICK ON NEXT).
7. On the next screen choose
Microsoft Exchange Active Synch (yes, this is the correct one, do not be surprized!).
8. On the field
Domain\user name, make sure that you have your complete email address, preceded by a \ (ie. \johndoe@gmail.com).
9. Your password should also be entered (it is done automatically, but if it is not, add it yourself).
10. In the field
Exchange Server use m.google.com (check with other email providers what you shoud use - I use a gmail based email service (gmail apps) so I can not help you here, but I am sure that it is easy to find out).
11. Check
Use Secure Connection and uncheck
Use Client Certificate.
12. Click
Next and
OK if an information box pops up.
13. Change the Account options as desired and click
Next.
You are all set. It works like a charm for Gmail accounts, you should make sure it works also for other services / email providers.
Good luck!
