AT&T mobile email app for w580i

[goose1451]

Does anybody have the "mobile email" application extracted from the AT&T branded w580i?
Or where are there instructions on how to extract it?
Thanks in advance.

I would love to know that as well. After debranding, I can't get hotmail the directly as it was in at&t firmware. TIA

I have searched and searched to no avail, but I did find a few alternatives.

- MOrange (Nothing else needed beside register & download app)
MOrange provides Free push-email, works with Hotmail, Gmail, Yahoo, POP3, & IMAP4. The app also includes some other cool features. The only draw back is that the free account will only push you the first 2KB of each message, and you cannot access/send attachments. You will have to minimize the application(leave it running) for it to receive "instant" push emails.

- Consilient (Nothing else needed beside register & download app)
Consilient is just like MOrange, but it is doesn't have the extra features, just plain simple push email. The advantage is that, there is no size limit on Consilient, you can recieve/send attachments. The only drawback is that it will post a text ad on the bottom of your sent messages. (i.e. Push email from Consilient, get it today!) You also need to leave this app running in the background to receive instant push email.

Also tried Flurry, I think their GUI sucks. There are few others that requires you to pay a little fee each month to use, such as MovaMail, which I didn't test out.

Also remember, AT&T's mobile email have the SMS new email notification, those SMS are free. But if you use 3rd party app with SMS noticifaction, those SMS are not.

I wonder if there is some way of getting that application from the branded firmware and adding to your phone's current firmware

I think you are out of luck. Have not tried with w580i, but I did with W810i. After de-branding I sort-of missed "Mobile email" and tried every way I could to get it back on the phone. You can find articles about it at att.com, and you can find what phones are supported and ways to get it to phone. All attempts failed, and I was never able to figure out how to get the package, presumably a jar file.

Moving right along, I re-branded the W810i and that got me the app of course, but never again did it push. I could configure and read and write, but push didn't happen. I did not spend the hours with CS griping about it because I really don't care to use the few mail sources that build supported.

What all you have going on here, I don't know for sure. What we do know is that the app itself is from Oz communications and they do the actual serving of the push messages which are actually free. I think you cannot expect any of this to work without an official Cingular/New AT&T firmware on the phone.

Now when I got a W580i, I debranded it and never looked back. Sure I have messed with Flurry and Morange, and I regularly use gmail java applet. But the very best mail tool I have seen is right there in the official firmware! That is none other than S/E mail tool! Got it all configured to work with gmail servers and the reward is real push mail! Greatest thing since sliced bread and you don't have to be on crack berry to enjoy!
