Using Hotmail

What is the best way to set a Hotmail account through Inbox ?
I installed Pocket Hotmail but, after I create a new account in Inbox using Hotmail, this account does not show up with the other Accounts.
Moreover, if I go to my Hotmail account using PIE (msn.com), I can read my received messages but NOT the attachments, whether they are standard pictures or Word documents or whatever.
Any clue ?

Try installing the Windows Mobile 2003 patch.
Its available at: http://www.frieger.com/photmail/wm2003.html

Sorry to hear that, I guess its still not ready then. Maybe you'll have better
luck when the full version is released.

Try the New version 2.5 Beta
Hello
give their New version 2.5 Beta a try it might do the job http://www.frieger.com/photmail/beta.html
regards.
Othman

I tried the both V2.2 with the WM2003 patch and V2.5 beta and no luck

No luck for me, either!
In the previous version, after creating the account, I couldn't find it.
With this latest beta version, I found the account I created, but the inbox showed empty (although, actually, it was not).

Ok found another Hotmail program called HTTPMail ($5.00 to buy) by Adrian Software and its working great on my WM2003 upgraded XDA I. So can somebody give it a try on their XDA II and report your results.
HTTPMail can be found at:

HTTPMAIL
i just downloaded that free trail programm.
now the following problem,
I can I ensure that Hotmail dails internet, and my normal work mail (pop3) dails another number (as set up under conncetions).
As i believe mail can only dail one number.

You've lost me on the dialing, confirming you're connecting via GPRS, right?
If so why are you using (2) different connections?

no Gprs
I use internet trough a dail-up connection
and i retrieve e-mails trough a pop3 server (work)
And now i want to have one e-mail account calling work, and the other internet

Dailing problems solved
Ok solved the dialing problem
So it is calling internet, but now some other problems, like not known protocoll.

Strange, confirming that you have hotmail set as your "Domain" in your Inbox settings and "HTTP" selected as your Account Type?
If so try doing a soft reset and see if that helps!

Iam getting further
It connects, and has downloaded all my folders from Hotmail, but they are empty.
What am I doing wrong. I really like this one to work

it works - it works
thanks guys. this is it, I am very happy.
I forgot to tell how much to download,
:roll: so it downloaded my folders, but nothing in it.
he this is super
THANKS :lol:

Qman thanks. Finally a good solution that works

Hiya,
Ive just purchased HTTPMail and got it working nicely on my xda2 over a bluetooth connection. The only thing that isn't working is the sub folders. It downloads the folder names but none of the content.
Any idea's anyone?

Thats good news on the bluetooth connection, thanks!
BTW just checked my online sub-folders and they're empty too, so go figure! :wink:
But here's a long-shot, while at your Hotmail Inbox, go to Tools, Manage Folders and check the folder that you want synchronized. Let use know how this works out!
Also it would be nice if you deleted your duplicated postings, it appears that your send key may have got stuck!

Outlook Not Saving Account

Sorry if this has been posted somewhere but I searched all night and could not come up with anything for a fix, just a couple of people having the same problem.
I have a Cingular 8525
Since I upgraded to the new Cingular Rom (2.06.502.3 AKU3.3 with radio 2.7 and SPL 1.04) my outlook will not save any mail settings. I can enter the mail setting and retreive/send mail, but as soon as I do a soft reset, All the settings have disappeared. Like mail accounts have never been set up yet. Even if I use the Cingular Push, it is the same way. Outlook accounts dissapear after a soft reset.
Does anybody know a fix for this. I would like to keep using this rom because everything else works great. Need help starting to pull my hair out over this one.

Same problem here
I have a HTC Tytn with a original ROM version 1.18.255.3 (07/22/06) and with Radio Version 1.03.03.10 and the i have the same problem. I customize a new email account and after a soft reset it desapears.
Another thing i noticed is all the text messages that i have received/sent that were deleted, after a soft resent all of them appear again???? This is very strange!!!!
Thanks!
Pedro Fonseca

Here how did i solve this problem...
webphilux,
I solve this problem by deleting all the temporary files and folders that are related with Outlook.
I had some files and one folder in \Windows\Messaging and i deleted all of them. I also deleted some files that were in my storage card (files related with outlook/messaging).
Try this out...i hope it works for you like it worked for me....

my email-account is lost after removing battery

If i remove my battery all my emailsettings/account is lost
If i try to add a new account with the same name it says: account already exists, but i cant see it.
so the only way is to choose a new name for my account.
does someone have a solution?

you can repair the mail account using mailaccountrepair, download it from http://nicolasmauri.blogspot.com/
I have the same problem
I still don't understand why it happen
other solution, which doesn't fit BA, is to shut down the device after setting the account -> has to do something with the registry

perfect, i'll try it on the weekend.
thanks.

I have same problem.
I use Nicolas Mauri MailAccountRepair, and It works perfectly.
It is easy to use, just run the .exe file on my BA, and voila. My gmail account appear again.
@ adotan : Thanks for sharing.

Thanks
Hi...
I Have sape problem in my htc prophet i'll download it and tray it.
Thankssssss.............

guys, install flexmail 2007.
and be happy with no more account loss.

i used the mail repair app, it works but my phone seem to freeze a lot lately. im not sure though if the cause is that program, but the freezing begins when i turn off the wifi then when i turn it on again, it takes a very long time to connect and opening other programs on the phone would cause much longer freezing, which just started happening now after i used the mail repair thingy. i even tried deleting the app, but the problem is still there. help guys.

Jade cant send emails...

Dear all,
I set up an email account (my workplace's) for my jade today. I am able to receive emails. However, sending emails is not possible. I will get an error message sayin that "message cannot be sent... check if there is network coverage..." I use WIFI and i am sure that there is network coverage.
Can someone please advise on the solution?
Thanks.

Delete your account definitions and try again.
Try also to configure a gmail account for example...

Hi, i tried all means i could to no avail... the error message kept poppin out...
i installed the official microsoft hotfix (tried both the msi and cab versions), to my disappointment, it did not work.
i gave up on my company email account and tried my personal yahoomail account. i seemed to have a prob with the username, i tried enterin [email protected] or just simply XXXXXX as the username, but the system did not recognize it and gave an error message.... at the end, ya, i gave up again...
can someone please enlighten me?
i bought this smartphone with the purpose that i can send/receive emails on the go... but this bug is drivin me crazy.
somebody, help... and thanks.

Can U send emails using yahoo mail (or gmail, hotmail) through normal browser ?
For company emails, sometimes a certficate is required (especially outlook). Check with your administrator.

and try to set up the email account with the program http://www.mymobiler.com/ to be very sure not to mistype anything.
af the end, if nothing works, maybe a hard reset can help? be sure to backup contacts and calendar!

Mail
An Yahoo account is html based and if you want to send and recieve, just visit the website. On the other hand if you have an account from your isp you have to configure the pop and smtp server. Just follow the instructions on your Jade

If you are using POP or IMAP looks like your SMTP options are not correct. Check with you email account company

Dear azahidi, DaM79, hadimassa and colonel,
Many thanks for your posts... however, i gave up le... now i use opera browser to send emails...
By the way, will HTC release a Windows Mobile Pro 6.5 update for Jade? If it does, then upgradin to WinMo 6.5 might solve the problem.
I have seen people flashin their PPCs with WinMo 6.5. Is it tough and dangerous? Anyone can share?

did you try to do a hard reset? maybe you have some software installed which blocks the config... dont give up! via opera is not very comfortable, right?
wm6.5, we will see. i think i remember to have read about update possiblities on http://wmpoweruser.com or on http://www.1800pocketpc.com. the general message was, update yes, but it depends - in our case - on HTC if they will release an official update.

hi DaM79,
yes, sendin emails with opera is troublesome...
i actually had tried a hard reset, but the problem persists...
still, i thank you for your help.
winmo 6.5 looks cool... i think i will wait for an official ROM or at least, when a stable and bug-free custom ROM is available.
by the way, i love Jade, it is very useful.

are you using the stock rom? what does htc support say? i mean this cant be possible somehow. i had a wm5 device before, ipaq, and email setup was more difficult but worked.

hi Dam79, i did not consult htc support and i dun think i will. does a stock ROM mean the original ROM that comes with the phone? if so, yes.

Can't send out emails too!
I have EXACTLY the same problem! I can receive emails from my work and from yahoo, but can't send out. The same error message appears and when I try to configure the email settings again, the password saved by my phone is always different than what I originally set. In the end, I also gave up and just used the browser. It would be good, though, if this problem's solved.
I bought my jade from Singapore; maybe it's a ROM problem?

Can't send emails
Is there anybody who has encountered and solved this problem?

HD2 Exchange Lock problem - Not the same issue mentioned in the forums

All,
I've a problem with the exchange server settings. It looks like my admins had pushed the new exchange policy this afternoon. All of a sudden my phone is asking for a password. I had installed the "Stay Unlock.cab" which worked perfectly so far. Now, I'm getting the password prompt when i unlock the device.
But the actual problem is, when I enter the password it takes me to the password screen and asking me to enter a new password. When I enter a new password it fails saying "An Error occurred saving password settings."
Now, I cannot access my phone. I have so many applications installed and I haven't backed up some of my settings & data. So I am hesitant to do a hard-reset and wipe out 3 weeks worth of my work/customization.
Help please!!
Thanks
Nash (TmoUS HD2 - Stock ROM)

I end up hard resetting.
after, 10 times of invalid password entry in the lock screen, it automatically wiped all my data.
anyway I installed hspl2 and installed energy rom, which is much better and beautiful than the stock rom. I am re installing all my applications now...
Thanks

Hello All,
Now I have a weird problem. I could install all the apps and run it properly, but the moment when I sync my outlook with the corporate exchange account, everything stops working. It looks like the Exchange setup is blocking unsigned apps & I could not install any cab files anymore or start an already installed program like CHT Editor. If I remove the email account, everything works fine again. Has anyone come across this problem?
I'm not sure what was changed in the Exchange server. Can someone please help?
Thanks in advance.

Right now, I have Kumar's ROM & I tried Energy ROM too and it looks like I cannot get around this issue. If I remove the Exchange account everything goes back to normal. I also have "Exchange Stay Unlock.cab" installed which doesn't seem to work anymore. Is there anyone else having the same issue?

Is it possible that the exchange admins put a policy to your telephone that its not possible to install software. ,Maybe that is the problem. Then when you delete email, also delete this policy and then its possible to install progs

It looks like it, before & after deleting the exchange sync it asks me to restart. after deleting the problem goes away. Is there anyway to change exchange's behaviour/policy?
The main problem is not just the installation, even the installed apps don't open anymore. Like the "Arkswtich" task manager which I use all the time or any unsigned apps I think. Opera works fine.
could you tell me, what/how I should ask my admins?

Hello All,
It looks like the policies are being updated and I cannot run or install the any unsigned app. I tried to install the cabs to "Remove app lock, unsigned app, etc..", but I can't seem to install these cabs too. Now, I can't even open the registry and update the policies key manually as I can't open a regsitry editor app.
I tried the registry editor from PC (CeRegEdit) and it won't let me update from that too. I totally stuck with this problem now.
Is there way to sign an app (cab file) or make it trusted?
Thanks

I'll continue to update this thread as no one else seem to have this problem.
I used "msigner.cab" to sign couple of cab files and tried to install and it still failed saying "untrusted...". So, I spoke to my admins, those guys plainly said they don't support windows mobile. Now, I don't have an option.
I wonder, why microsoft would enforce a policy on a wm6.5 devices?
Next step.. I reflashed again, installed all the cabs I needed and setup my device. this time, I'm hoping that I don't have to reboot (I know it's tough ) after syncing up with exchange. I'll sync only the emails (in Exchange) and others through the pc (contacts, tasks, calendar).

Finally, I installed all the reg editors before connecting to exchange. Then I synced only the emails with the exchange server and before rebooting the phone, I used the reg editor to change the key (HKLM\Security\Policies\Policy) values as mentioned in other forums (sdkcerts) to 0. Now it looks like its permanent and not changing even after the reboot!
Thanks

Yes I too need to know, I am suffering with the same problem
Thanks in advance
Update I think http://blogs.microsoft.co.il/blogs/...curity-policy-for-windows-mobile-devices.aspx can help in resolving, never tried it though

sorry, it is in the "HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies" folder.
I changed the following keys..
00001005 to 1
00001006 to 1
Let me know if it doesn't work, I can export and email you the policies key from the registry.
