Chatter 2.0 does push e-mail on PalmOS Treos

Bob Russell · 05-22-2006, 06:26 PM

I must be out of the loop. I didn't know there was a push email solution for the PalmOS Treos that didn't require a server service. You know, where you hire some remote server to handle the email for you so that you immediately know when "you have mail!"

The program I used in the past was Versamail, and it let you set an interval to check the mail server. So if you set it to check every 10mins, then you would at least know that you would be notified within 10mins of a new email. But that's not push, which is supposed to send the immediate notification to your handheld device without having to go out on the network to check for mail.

Blackberry devices have push email, and Microsoft has announced some push-like solutions for Windows Mobile. And I think there are solutions for push mail on the PalmOS platform with GoodLink (not sure about the name, but that service sticks in my mind). Wasn't there even a Treo site that offered a free service on their server? I don't remember, but I've never been too comfortable sending my email through a third party free service. Well, I guess I do it with Gmail, but that's a pretty well established commodity.

At any rate, I was quite surprised when I saw a Palm Addicts post on Chatter 2.0 with push email capabilities, and no server service. If you have a Treo and want to know exactly when you have an email, this might be worth checking out. Now we just need to figure out how to not be addicted to email so we can still get work done and be productive!

I've been using chatter for over a year now, it's awesome. I understand why people are addicted to their crackberries. I will be using it on my new Treo 700p as well

I have it getting my .mac mail, gmail, aol mail, and get it once it's in my inbox. I think it's the best email client available for Treos.
