I have looked just about everywhere for a solution to my requirements but not only can not find one, but have also found next to no discussion on the subject anywhere on Google or many other forums out there so hence this post.
Basically, here's what I want Pocket MSN to do:
i) Allow proper notifications when new email arrives. i.e. Sound and vibrate, not just the a number of unread in the little a blue circle on the hotmail icon..
ii) Allow email to be sent immediately instead of having to got to "send and receive" each time.
iii) Allow me to send email attachments > 300K (or whatever the ridiculously small limit is).
iv) Auto sign-in for Messenger. Every time I loose my GPRS connection I have to remember to go back into messenger and sign-in again.
I scoured the registry but I'm afraid I am bit of a novice in this area and can not find anything that will do the job. Anyone out there have any ideas? Or is this something I need to pray for in a future Pocket MSN release?
For info, I have already applied the excellent MSN_Notify.cab that adds the "Messenger: Contact Online" and "Messenger: New message" notifications to the control panel. Both these options are an excellent start, but unfortunately they do not address the items in my wish list.
Also for info, I have GPRS permanently enabled on my T-Mobile UK MDA Vario using this nifty little reg entry:
Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\ConnMgr\Providers\{7C4B7A38-5FF7-4bc1-80F6-5DA7870BB1AA}\Connections\T-Mobile Internet\AlwaysOn = 1
Your thoughts and ideas greatly appreciated.
Bump.
Anyone.... ideas???
email MSN and ask them?
it will prob need the Pocket MSN Code Rewriting and will there for will be in an update IF MS choses to add these to pocket msn
Basically your Wishlist says it all. I started using Pocket MSN as an alternative push-mail method to Blackberry hence the latter is f***ing expensive. I haven't found solutions to the things you mentioned either but would highly appreciate a solution.
Recently I added direct push service from cingular. What I understand of this "Direct Push" is that it's real time email service using GPRS(for cingular) to connect to the mail server and MS Exchange must be installed at the server. Ok cool.
It works , sort of. But it's not real time! the email comes about couple mins late. Is this normal?
And what do you recommend for an email program? (besides Flexmail, I don't like it)
Thank you
Rom:Updated-aku-3 Roms V2 3.3.0.0 (4mb page pool)
The service does work, per se. It should come in real-time yes (1-2 seconds). The server load is probably high or your devices keeps disconnecting/reconnecting its data connection. It can be many factors. Why dont you get free push from port88.org? its free and you get your emails within a few seconds. I like it.
Hi
if ur using MS Exchange direct push than the best client for it poutlook..
where ur email, sms, mms & other accounts are in single tree..
with single shortcut button.................
Hope somebody can help me as this is driving me crazy, can't find a way to solve it and have found absolutely nothing about it on the web.
I have a HTC Hermes running WM6 (the Elf ROM with Crackberry support) with BBC 4.0.
BBC had been working amazingly. Until I decided to reinstall BBConnect to test something (how's that saying go ... "if it works ...").
Now I get the following problem: a PopUp saying 'Service Book Management' with the message 'Device message store limit reached. You must delete a message store to use service "[email protected]" ' and gives me the option to Retry or Cancel....
Yes, it does get solved when I delete the problem account.
But hey, I dont want to delete the account, I want to check it on my phone! And it was working perfectly before. The problem account is one of the two pop3 accounts I have set up on my blackberry internet service ... a Gmail account ... I tried deleting it and trying with a different one ... but no, the same problem comes up with any pop3 account I try to set up after the first one.
When opening up messaging, I can see the following accounts: Text messages, [email protected], blackberry, [email protected]1, MMS.
I think the cause to this problem may be related to Windows Live ... but I have already deleted the Windows Live account (through the registry) as wel as the Outlook account ... and nothing.
The strangeundeletable account is another pain in the A ... sent to my device every time I provision my HTC with the Entreprise Blackberry account through the Blackberry Desktop ... but lets leave that for another thread.
Anybody any ideas?
Ive been racking my brain with this to no avail!!!!
PLEASE HELP!
try cancel the email account on the blackberry page then reinstal BBC 4 and after that readd the accounts + send service books
Oh, I've reinstalled BBC 4 about 15 times in the past 24hs.
No luck whatsoever.
I search for a free yahoo messenger for pocket pc!
it's very important for me that it's free and secure (I want to be free because i live in iran and i cant purchase software, and i want to be secure because i dont want to steal my password or hack me!)
if any one try such a messenger please put the link here that i can use it too!!!
free
palringo.com
Slick
I use Slick for my AIM, but it also handles Yahoo, ICQ, MSN, GoogleTalk, & Jabber. Very nice and it's free.
Slick doesn't allow you to message peoples cell phones from your AIM account but Palringo and the new AIM Mobile Beta do.
yahoo go for pocket pc.
also beejiveIM is free right now cause it's in alpha/beta testing. It is my personal favorite of the IM apps.
use parlingo...that's great
Or u can use slick messenger....
Palringo!
Visit the forum, register there for an account. Login to your palringo app with the account, and add ym service. I believe it can handle multiple yahoo account...
Which One Is More Secure?

palringo is the best. i tried almost all of the im in your list and found that palringo is the least complicated, has descent looks and it connects faster even when using gprs. and yes, it can handle multiple yahoo accounts.
i get that Palringo Transfer All Data (For example username and password) in a not encrypt text file, so i think it's not secure and by the way i found that anyone can register in palringo with any email address and there isn't any confirm for email address!!!
now what do you think?!
if live messenger get connected with yahoo and we can chat with our yahoo add list with live messenger isn't better that we created MSN account and use Live Messenger?!
If I Import My Yahoo Contacts In Palringo Does Palringo Send An Add Requst To Them Or Just Import Them For Me With Out Their Permission?
Hi !
I won't go into too much details, but the thing is that gtalk is a xmpp service, so you can connect using "PSI" and after login you can use "service discovery" and add an IM transport from another server to your rooster (good list of servers here: http://www.jabberes.org/servers/) and then the contacts from that transport appear in gtalk. The status updates are not instant, but it's ok - less trafiic and less battery consumption. But the messages come in instantly, just the status is less often updated.
Please do this with a test account first, and DON'T DELETE CONTACTS BEFORE DELETING THE TRANSPORT FROM ROOSTER.
PS: i never got disconnected since i did this, unlike the im apps in market.
Good luck !
I'm bumping this, because i have the impression people don't get it: you can chat with yahoo, aim, msn, etc... with the built in chat client - uses data, not sms, and it's the most reliable (never crashes or gets disconnected), uses little data and has no impact on performance. WIN - WIN.
The problem with this in my experience is reliability, even with my own jabber server the transports didn't seem 100% stable :/
How exactly do you add in the information to perform this?
i'll have to say google for more details, but this is the procedure:
Those are the steps:
1. connect to gtalk with psi (this you need to google first, then if it doesn't work use another port - 443 i think worked for me)
2. open http://www.jabberes.org/servers/ in a browser to have it handy
3. in psi menu use service discovery and enter a server from the page above (choose a free server)
4. double click a transport in the window that appears, and enter username & pasword for the corresponding im network (this is called registering)
5. in psi accept all friends requests
6. rename the contacts you see in psi - they will show up on the phone renamed
again: do this with a test account (not a google test account, a yahoo/msn/etc test account) first, and don't delete yahoo/msn/etc friends before deleting the transport - i did it and had to add my yahoo contacts again.
@nurre: i didn't have any problems yet... except when a transport went down, and i chose another server with another transport - going smooth for about a week
I'd be interested in trying this out, but I don't have enough time in the day to google around about PSI and figure out how to set it up. I'd love an actual step-by-step, though. Not that you're in any way obligated, of course; I'm just saying that I'd be much obliged.

Then you don't need this badly enough. The step by step is right there FFS (you want it click by click ?)
for step 1: http://psi-im.org/wiki/Google_Talk_HowTo_for_Psi_0.12 if it doesn't work, use port 443
If you might explain what you are talking about exactly, so that I decide whether I have to struggle even more to find relevant info ?
( and I could not access the link http://www.jabberes.org/servers/ )
As far as I could find out, PSI is a im client (jabber and others) ? On the PC ?
So is your solution to have it running on a PC, so that it relays msn and others to Gtalk ? That means it only works if it is up and running on the PC ?

the title says what you can acomplish, and the first two posts present the advantages of doing this.
the http://www.jabberes.org/servers/ seems to be down, check it again later. meanwhile you can see free servers here: http://xmpp.org/services/
PSI is only used to add other im networks to your gtalk account. it's used for configuration and rename purposes only. It doesn't have to run to have this working.
And another advantage: if you're near a pc and you sense a long chat coming, you can connect to your gmail account using PSI (or use the online client at www.meebo.com) and you're logged in in two places at once (PC and G1). you receive messages in both places, but reply from the PC.
And another one: log in at gmail and you have all your conversations saved (including yahoo/msn/aim/etc)
Trust me, it's worth it ! No other chat client is as reliable as the built in one. My status is "Mobile 24/7 on android".

Frankly, i only used this with yahoo, and it never disconnected or crashed. Maybe try another server/transport and add your msn again... ?

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=1795
I edited the title to reflect the msn issue. I have no idea how this could be fixed. Maybe add a transport for jabber (if such thing exists) and that would have a msn transport - like another layer in the middle. I don't know if this is possible, i'm just saying (someone who knows better might call bulls&^t).
A new issue is opened..

When I register my AIM screenname, it doesn't shows system messages...
Solution?
Ok, got it to work for adding conztacts.
All my contacts appear in PSI, but not in GTalk.
I added 2 accounts to PSI.
#1: The GTalk-account
#2: An account of a server with icqtransport (like aim) (there registered with it and registered the icq transport)
Please help!
when I try to discover the service with manually typing jaim.at in the place where gmail.com is (e.g. jaim.at) withouth adding this server and gtalk (so only gtalk) it displays the ICQ Transport at jaim.at , when I register it says succesful, but none of my contacts appear.
