I recieved an audio alert today from My XDA ii. I switched it on and I received an email from hotmail telling me that I can receive audio alerts when I get email in my hotmail box via MSN messenger.
I would love to have this feature as at the moment I get no audio alerts when I get email. However, when I looked into this a bit more this feature is for MSN messenger 6.1 for PC.
Does anyone get audio aleart from their pocket MSN messenger when they receive email? If so how ?
Thanks
The only messager I use is freeware iMov(Jabber-ICQ-MSN-Yahoo!) - www.movsoftware.com
There is thing I don't like about it - it took years to make it work! 8)

Hi there
I bought the T-mobile version of the Universal, previously iu was using a HP4700 and a Nokia 3g phone but just wanted the integrated solution. I am not really interested in the voice capacbilites only the data and messaging side. I was dissapointed to discover that MSN messenger was not included in the T-mobile load , but decided that I would load and pay for the Mobile MSN at £10.99. It would not set up on my existing MSN account and kept giving error 3002 message when i registered on the MS website. There were no error messages on the MDA prop.
In desparation I set up a new Passport account and installed the SW on this with no propblems. But unfortuanetely MS only licence the indiviudal passport to be used with this software and not the MDA machine. So i contaqcted the support guys at MS who have made lots of suggestions and none of these work I still get the Error 3002 on the MS web site everytime I try to register to use my original MSN account. It will not even allow me to pay a second time for this peice of software.
Can anyone help me to get a copy of MSN messenger for the MDA that does not require the crazy MS registration process as I really need the MSN messenger feature and have to leave my MDA pro at home and use the old 3g phone and HP 4715. This obviosly was not the idea behind buying the MDA pro.

I am not sure if your problem is related to mine, but I too wanted to install Pocket MSN on my MDA Pro. However, the activation process failed time and time again with an error message stating that the "e-mail address used to log in" was invalid.
I think Pocket MSN only supports the use of a hotmail-address, instead of a "normal" e-mail address that I use in my MSN/Passport account.
Did you use a "normal" e-mail address as well? If so: Were you able to activate this account on the MSN web site for use with Pocket MSN?
I hope you are wrong
Jorg
Aha i did not use an MSN account but my own account on my company domain for the initial attempts. Then when i created a new passport i just used a MSN account, and it worked . Then i tried to use the passport from my own domain on the mda pro and it did not work. But no where on the MSN site did it say you had to have an MSN account to use it. It just said you needed a passport. DOes any one know if the bundled versio n with the MDA requires an MSN email address? as the posket MSN on the xda ii or the HP4700 i have were fine with my private email passport?
This is a serious pain. Can microsoft really be this crazy? lots of people use passports with their private email address and not an msn one. I really cannot get my head around having to change about 100 or more contacts I regularly communicate with to a new MSN account.
There must ba another way?
Charlie,
Just to avoid too many threads on this topic: In this thread I have a suggestion for an alternative MSN client that works for me (until MS solves this problem)

my situation is different to yours - I am uing the XDA Exec with the provided MSN software - but for what it's worth, I use msn with a 'regular' email-address Passport.
if there is anything useful that we could compare between the MSN on Execs and yours, feel free to ask away!
Just out of curiosity but is there a way to prevent MSM mobile from showing offline contacts?
I find it really annoying.
Also dont seem to be able to group contacts?
TBH I wouldnt pay for this software there are better shareware options ..
according to o2 you dont need a premium account to use the messenger servce
Hi
Has anyone else had a problem with this
Went to Passport.Net and got a passport from microsoft with my own email address. Installed pocket msn went to activeate it on http:/mobile.msn.com and was told I could not use the passport I had and to go away and get another one it seems that the only passports you can use to buy and activate the program is an hotmail account. Anyone else had this problem.
Yes, the email address you use for a passport account for msnmobile must be a hotmail.com or msn.com account.
Stupid Microsoft
I ve been using MSN Messenger for ages with my own email address all my contacts have that address to use now if I want to use it now I have got to change my email address to a hotmail acc and I do not want one then I have to tell all my contacts the new address stupid
There is a work around to get MSN Messenger without going through the mobile msn stuff. http://www.coolsmartphone.com/news2266.html.
Another workround
I have installed pocket MSN but not activated it. Then installed msn messenger 2002 for pocket pc and upgraded to 2003 have both options on m600 and they both seem to work now.
You have to upgrade to 2003 as 2002 will not work.
Dont know why orange removed it.
Will try to get the I-Mate firmware and see if I can load this on to it as that has pocket msn and no need to activate,
I have the Cingular 8125 without a data plan. So i usually check my mail via WiFi. Is it possible to access hotmail.com on Internet Explorer without having to use Pocket MSN. Also what is that hack, where you can use any email client, such as gmail through Pocket MSN. Also is it possible to send and receive attachments from the pda format of gmail??
thanks

I had no problem using the standard WM5 messaging application. I simply typed in my e-mail address (I have an MSN account, not hotmail) and the application took care of the set-up.
I just got myself a second hand MDA on T-Mobile, and I'm on flext web'n'walk price plan. I have a few problems with it and I hope I can get some answers
I got preinstalled pocket MSN that works fine on GPRS. However, I use mostly Yahoo Messanger and ICQ and they would only work at home, where I have the BT Total Broadband (with the wireless hub). Outside the house they would not connect. I use 2 messengers to go online, one is Agile Messenger, and the other is IM+. Both work fine on WiFi as I said, but would not connect via GPRS.
Does anyone here use that phone and the messengers to help me out here? I had the K800i and it worked fine with the Agile Messenger, now I feel lost
PS: The Internet Explorer works fine on it, so it can connect via GPRS, its just none of the messengers that I've got.
Any advice would be apreciated. Thanks.
PS2: Any ideas for other messengers that support Yahoo and ICQ?
oz has instant mess
Dont use OZ, EVER. It dosnt use GPRS to send messages, it uses text messeges and its crazy slow. If you want your instant messengers to work make sure your GPRS connection is already alive and connected before signing in. The messengers wont start a internet connetion but will use the active ones.
