To anyone working or is affiliated with both sites; I mean no offense. To my fellow xda-ers; this serves as a reminder and a warning as to how unprofessional people running websites can be. Here's what happened:
August 23, 2004 (Monday)
– I purchased software (Pocket Tablet) from Pocket Gear, I then received the electronic receipt
–As per my previous transactions; Standard Operating Procedure is after you receive the electronic receipt you will receive another email with the Registration Code
–Normally the email with the Registration Code follows no later than 24 hours
August 24, 2004 (Tuesday)
-No emails were sent regarding the registration code
-I sent an email requesting for the Registration Code to be sent
-No response from either Pocket Gear or Entisoft
August 25, 2004 (Wednesday)
-No emails were sent regarding the registration code
-I sent an email requesting for the Registration Code to be sent
-No response from either Pocket Gear or Entisoft (Pocket Tablet Developer)
August 26, 2004 (Thursday)
-I received an email from Mr. Callie (Entisoft) and he said that he did not receive any sales verification from Pocket Gear (where I bought the software)
-He also said to simply get my money back and buy it from another website and I quote: "I have not received a sales verification from Pocket Gear. Ask for you money back and buy it from Handango."
August 27, 2004 (Friday)
-Received an email from the online Pocket Gear support message I sent last August 24; saying that if I still did not receive any reply from the developer I would be refunded
-Received another email from Pocket Gear saying that the developer has been contacted and that the Registration Code will be sent
-Still no emails from the Developer regarding my Registration Code
With that; I'm working with our AMEX Customer Service here in Thailand to have the transaction cancelled (had to send 8 kinds of documents!). I don't really know about your experiences with Pocket Gear but for me I have officially stopped browsing their site. Again, no offense meant to anyone affiliated with either websites and to the others please be warned accordingly as to what you may go through in the future.

Kinda makes ya want to go warez! Git r dun!
I've had the same experience with Handango. So far I greatly prefer Pocket Gear.
ISSUE RESOLVED
Whew, after more than a week dwelling on this issue Pocket Gear finally resolved the mess. Thanks to this guy:
Matt Stein
PocketGear.com
http://www.pocketgear.com
He's possibly one of the best online support techie / customer relations person. He was kind enough to follow up and sort the whole mess with the Entisoft developer site (Pocket Tablet). Finally have my registration code and controlling my desktop via bluetooth! Pass the pint!
Cheers mates

Hi
does anybody known how I could read HTML email on my Xda Exec.
Thank you
Gigino
Merry Christmas to everyone
You should try ProfiMail:
http://www.lonelycatgames.com/index.php?chapter=profimail
Started using it when I had a SonyEricsson P910 and bought a new license for my Qtek S100. It´s a port from an earlier Nokia version so it may not be the most beautiful looking application but the way it optimizes HTML-email for my handheld is unbeatable. And it's very easy to use.
html email should be accessed directly by web mail if there is
I run an exchange server and I am welcoming pocketpc users that are in need of an exchange account to activesync with. This service also offers Direct Push for those of you that have have this on your PocketPC. As well as the ability to sync all of your contacts, calander events, and task wirelessly onto your Outlook desktop instantly.
NOTICE: Lots of users have been asking if they can have an alias setup so that it looks like they are sending from thier personal email address (ie gmail, hotmail, yahoo ect..) and the answers is YES! With each account you can have an alias setup so that your recipents see your email address as anything you like! In order to keep this service alive, it is asked that you donate $10.00 USD in order to use this Email Alias service. You can use paypal and send the money to [email protected]
Anyone that still needs a Exchange account, I can provide one for them. I will be providing up to 75 or so accounts for free, donations will be and are always appreciated. My constraint right now is how much hard drive space I have. If I can get enough donations for a bigger hard drive I would be able to give out many many more accounts. Also, my service will include Exchange over HTTPS as well if you want to use the server with Outlook on whatever computer you want to. I can provide these settings for people that want the service. Just PM me with the e-mail address you want. Domain is @getztek.com .
So if you like the service and feel that you can contribute, please send paypal payments to [email protected]. If you think you can donate in other ways, please send me an email!
Please submit the information in this format:
First Name:
Last Name or Initial:
E-Mail address requested:
Password:
Also, please give me at least 24 hours to set this up as it is a free service and I do have a job/life. Thanks!
Lastly, I did have this posted in the Wizard forum, but most people don't read both forums and I have more accounts that I can support, hence posting it here as well.
Also, if you want to let me know about something, please repond in the thread, only e-mail / PM your account information.
Hi
I think Im the first to reply, so firstly can I say thanks!
A couple of questions . .
What version of Exchange is this? Any HTML mail support?
How or where do I install the certificate you sent me? I have a mail2web account but that didnt require much setting up but no Outlook access either!
Thanks

It is Exchange 2003. Easiest way to install the certificate is put it on your phone, then tap it. It will run and install itself. Once you do that, just enter your info into Active Sync, easy peezie! The outlook access by itself can be tricky which is why I gave you the link to that tutorial showing you how to set it up. Hope this helps.
Sent you a pm . . .
Rob
Ok, Im now up and running on both my Tytn and Outlook 2003.
So far everything seems to be working just as it should and my initial impression is that its quicker than mail2web. The original sync of contacts and calendar etc seemed to take aout half the time.
All looking really good, what do I do about the email alias thing? Another pm request to Denial?
I will run for another day or so and update, hopefully will be running a new version of WM6 later today )
Thanks a lot DeniaL, this is a generous contribution to the community and I be making a donation shortly.

Sounds good. Glad to hear that you like it. As far as the e-mail alias thing, when you send your donation just include a note saying what your alias'd e-mail should be and I will set it up and send you an email back letting you know when it's finished. Take care!
Just bumping it so more people can get accounts if they want 'em.
Hi
i sent you an email,
Looking forward to working with your Exchange server

Why would someone host their email with some random individual they've never met, and open themselves up to remote wiping? Seems like a pretty big security breach to me...
I mean, you may be totally trustworthy. But you also may not be.

They can choose to trust me or not. I am not in this to screw with people. Just like the majority of this forum, I am just trying to offer a service. You can ask any of the people I offer this service to, I am not trying to screw anyone over.

I sent you an e-mail back. In regard's to your alias, I need to receive the $10 donation through paypal before I set that up. Go ahead and setup your phone, make sure everything is to your liking. As soon as you decide that, let me know and when I receive the $10 I will setup the alias'ing. Take care.
After much hassle, I'm finally up and running, haha. I trust him. I let him remote desktop connect to my computer to setup outlook and he didnt do anything fishy. He's legit and the service seems to work flawlessly once setup. Much recommended to anyone needing good push email/exchange. I will be donating to him once my paypal acct is funded on saturday. cheers on one of the best services yet!

Try again, I re-created your account from scratch.
WOOHOO i finally got the same set up configured on one of my home servers!! windows 2003 + exchange server 2003 and i'm golden also got aliases working so now my phone is sending emails as though i'm emailing from gmail, and also synching my work email simultaneously (set up a redirect).
denial, to prevent you getting bogged down i'd be willing to take on a few push accounts too - also SSL based, free push mail

Can't find the answer to this anywhere on this site or other forums.
Does anyone know a way that I can always send a CC of an email to a given address (i.e. myself) on outgoing email sent from my Hermes? Palm OS has a feature built in for this.
Is there a separate program I can purchase that would add-in this functionality, or an altogether separate email program I could run that has it?
Thanks.
I used this http://www.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=6927
Not sure if it will work with WM5.
That program is perfect, but is for an earlier Pocket PC version. I see online that they did not make a version for WM5 and have no intention of doing so.
Any other suggestions out there on how to get automatic CC (or BCC) capability?
Thanks.
This is a strnage one, hopefully someone can help me out here.
My misses has a 8520 blackberry. We were trying out inviting attendees to events.
I sent an invitation from my device, first off its annoying how it defaults to send via outlook email and i have to sync with outlook to send that invitation.
She received it on her BB but it said its an invalid format and cannot be opened.
However, she sent me an invitation to my device from the BB and it worked fine, was able to accept and everything...
Confused...
I tried looking at the BB forums, but all I coudl find was stuff about the BES and enterprise servers...not helpful.

My wife and my brother both had blackberrys until they got their HD2s recently. We had the same problems but worse. the only way we got it to work wad when my HD2 was syncing to a proper exchange or enterprise server, didn't work through google. Also when people with berries email me items my HD2 can't open them unless you save them to the memory with the correct file extension. Now we all have HD2s all is good.
Solution: get her to bin the RiM and buy a HD2.
