How to get email notifications without paying for mobile email?!?!

Mr. Agoattamer.. you are a genius..
it worked like a charm...
This is really a treat getting this phone to function like a smart phone without the monthly fees....not to mention that its quite entertaining to add enhancements each day..
really appreciate you and STV taking time out to walk me through these modifications..
hope I can return the favor one of these days..
 

I'm having the same problem - at least I was when I was getting notifications...

When I first installed 2.0 I was getting notifications almost instantly (within 60 seconds) and it was like this for about the first 24 hours. Now I haven't received a single one in the last 24+ hours, with multiple emails coming in. I'm still able to get on to mobile email and use the program, I've just stopped receiving notifications.

What seems to be happening for me is that I get notifications every couple hours.

I don't get notifications right after an email is delivered.  It's almost as if they batch up the notifications and only send them out every couple of hours.

For example, today I got a notification once this morning even though I have multiple emails coming in.

Well it doesnt change anything on our phone. And the alerts come from ATT so.......it must be them halting our alerts. I really do believ at first they give them to you right away. After about a week they come in groups and not right away. Then they seem to stop coming. Then you get an alert that says they are turning off your email alerts. LOL. Been happening this way for a year and a half. Now they dont support 2.0 and changed to the paid 3.0. Sounds fishy to me.

I had and have the same exact problems. I gave up on alerts ,don't use mobile email 2.0 anymore because It was too frustrating.

My solution - I use opera 5 beta 2 (be sure to get full screen and use TKFE) and open email through it. Opera has multiple tabs option so you can always leave email open while you surf, just hit refresh and there you go. I've minimized opera for days and left it going w/ no problems.
Very rarely and mostly when I've got several things open a minimized app might close.

Was messing with mobile email 2.0 just to torture myself signed out and got an email alert (no audio) through phone widget had to sign in to read it 

Hope this option of using opera will help you 

Where can I find the instructions for downgrading to 2.0? I read in this thread about updating the java db and using a master key. I just need a few more specifics on doing this. I'm not paying 5 bucks a month just for email. I've already got tkfe and d/l the jad jar files. Just wanna make sure what to do with them.

Thanks,
Steve

How do you uninstall 3.0. I opened it up and started to just delete the 3.0 jar and jad files but then I thought to myself "You better know what you're doing first". I wasn't sure what to do so I didn't do anything. Is there a thread already with specific instructions on how to do this?
