Step by step guide to installing pushmail on Blackberry without official BIS or BES:
Warning (added on 1st June 2013): This post is deprecated as website hudeemail.com and its pushmail service has stopped working for past several years.
An adventure with BlackBerry;
First a clarification: shangmail.com is the Chinese website and hudeemail.com is the English website. Both seem to be related. Hudeemail provides a third party solution or alternative to official Blackberry pushmail. Hudeemail is free and is supported by Advertisements displayed over the emails. Most Ads are irritating. That is the mental price we have to pay.
Requirements:
1. Blackberry phone with TCP-IP through APN or wifi.
(If this is beyond understanding, try to solve this mystery first or go ahead just try)
2. Little understanding.
Retrieving the installation packages
We require three packages:
1. Hudeemail installation from here. Choose your version and download it on phone directly or through computer.
2. File Manager from BB-app-world
3. Unzip Manager (if file Manager does not or fails to unzip)
Opening and installing the software package:
The package is in zip format. It contains three files with same name i.e. HudeeMail but each with different extension. Unzip all the files on computer or on phone. For phone we may have to install Unzip or some app.
Install any File Manager from BB app world. e.g. Rock File Manager:
Start Rock File Manager and browse to the memory card and to the folder where all the three files are located. Click or select and press the HudeeMail.cod file. File Manager will ask for permission to install and it is done. Run the HudeeMail and it pops up welcome screen:
Hudee Mail (New Welcome Screen)
Now press menu key on BB and choose ‘register’. Enter a user name before ‘Account’. A unique password for ‘Password’ and repeat it in next confirmation box. Next option is about Network. Leave it to default DirectTCP. Press Confirm and it should be done. If there is any problem try changing the user/account name.
Once registration is done; login with newly created account and password. Now add your mailbox of gmail or yahoo or aol etc. by choosing Bind Account from the menu. Add two or more or all or as many. But all mailboxes will be linked to the default BB mailbox. Once done the pushmail will be delivered in BB mailbox. Please note that there is no HudeeMail mailbox. If perplexed read here.
But please note that if we have BIS or BES connectivity, installing Hudeemail will disable the existing mailboxes. Then we can use only HudeeMail configured Mail Boxes only. Nothing short of un-installing HudeeMail, solves the Problem.
Troubleshooting
(Added on 20 Jan 2013)
It appears that after installation it works and after some time the Hudeemail stops syncing. It just does not deliver the messages. Actually some other programs also behave in this manner. There are three things we can do to solve this problem. First is to open Hudeemail and manually retrieve the email. One manual retrieval, generally solves the problem. Second is to exit the Hudeemail and restart the same. After re-start press options button and choose ‘Continue’ at top of the menu. Retrieve the mail manually once. This should solve the problem. Third is to pull the battery out to enforce hard restart. This also solves the problem. either of these methods or a combination can be successively employed to solve the problem. It is seven months, since I am using the Hudeemail. No problems so far, except this one, which is mostly solved by manual retrieval, once in a while.
(Added on 9th Feb. 2013)
It must be ensured from the Menu that in the settings>settings, the selection looks like this:
As per above settings after the power level drops to 20%, Hudeemail will go offline. In that case it has to be brought online manually. Once offline, it remains stuck there until it is brought online from the menu.
Note of caution/Disclaimer:
The above instructions are indicative of how I installed Hudeemail on my Blackberry 9220 with OS 7.01. It may not work or may create trouble. I take no responsibility and personally I do not recommend installing HudeeMail or any application. For that matter I do not recommend any one to do anything at all; even to hold breath or to continue with breathing.
Added on 3rd March 2013:
It is interesting to know that while the above installation works on one phone but does not work on an identical phone. It may have something to do with service books as stated in the comments. There is another way to get these configuration files. Uninstall Hudeemail and subscribe to BIS for smallest cycle like a weak or a month and discontinue. Now reinstall Hudeemail. It may work. It is worth trying. Please help others by sharing in comments, if this method works.

Hi everybody,
shangmail is still available on the chinese website shamgmail.com. I’ve also managed to download the intstallation files from this site. Does anybody can tell me, if shangmail is working again? Don’t want to make the effort with installation, registration etc. without knowing if the servers are working or not. And especailly as the site is in chinese, I’m not able to figure out if the service is still free or if I will be charged in some way…
I’m still using logicmail on my 9500 Storm. Problem is, that it takes years for sending or recieving messages and at least 20 sec. to display an email.
Thanks in advance and best regards,
Chris

Who is the ISP? Hotmail perhaps does not work. Yahoo and Gmail both work. Log into your account from desktop and check settings. See that imap is enabled.

It is surprising. Please check the splash screen. Does it mention free. Compare with the two screen shots given above. It is surprising for two reasons. One because mine is working. Two it is supported by advertising. Right in the middle of composer/editor, there is a small ad strip, not to mention such clippings in reading the mail. Remove and download fresh files. If that does not work let me know. I will think of something.

Welcom Avneesh.
As regards, gmail, the problem appears to be that gmail prevents the login frm Hudeemail. Please check gmail help ‘unable to connect through POP or IMAP’ and follow the instructions. I had same problem.
About Yahoo, I am not sure. May be similar to gmail. I shall revert about that ASAP.

Mozam, please add your mail box to hudee. It is merely a carrier. You have to add your gmail or yahoo or whatever your mailbox is, to it. We need to enter the email address and passward by adding account within hudeemail.

Dear mozam, only installing the hudeemail, you can’t send email through hudeemail. A SERVICE BOOK is required to send the email through hudeemail. This simple hack enables Blackberry default browser & hudeemail to use a normal internet plan instead of a costly data plan. plese visit: http://manishbhat2749.blogspot.in/2012/08/enable-blackberry-push-mail-and-browser.html.
Try it your own risk. I had successfully completed in my bb 8310.

I still maintain that nothing else need to be done in respect of BB9220. I did not download any service book. After installing, create/bind accounts, refresh from within hudeemail, once and it should work. If at any time it appears to be struck, start hudeemail and refresh again. That’s all. I am still not sure why service book is required or is it required in earlier versions only?
