I cannnot acces to my email un gmail.
I'll really apprecaite if somebody can give me all parameters
I have 3 Gmail invites available
I was able to access my Gmail on XDA II. I now have an XDA IIs with 2003 se. I used the same parameters as on the XDA II 1.72 but I am unable to access my gmail. It seems to log on but stops in the downloading process.
Sorry, but I just realized that the problem I was having with my gmail account was not due to using 2003 se but because apparently (I don't know how) the settings on my gmail account had changed.
Here are the instructions that helped me from http://www.pocketpchow2.com/archive/2004_11_14_index.html
Update: Using Gmail from Pocket PCs
Earlier I had written here about how Google has started providing POP access for their Gmail email service. This week my account was enabled for POP access, and since then I had been trying to get it working with my Pocket PC. My efforts had been stymied by an error stating that email could not be downloaded to my mobile device. Today thanks to some assistance from Ed Hansberry got it to work. The trick is to enable POP only for new mail rather than for all mail.
If you have a Gmail account and want to access it using your Pocket PC, here is the information that you need:
Your userid and password is the same as what you use to access Gmail via a web browser
The incoming mail server name is pop.gmail.com
The outgoing mail server name is smtp.gmail.com
You need to configure the account so that the Outgoing e-mail server requires authentication
The account also requires an SSL connection
If you read Google's instructions for setting up an account you will notice that they specify port numbers for the incoming and outgoing mail servers. The numbers they provide are the standard port numbers for SSL access, so all you need to do is configure the Pocket PC account to use SSL.
You specify the authentication and SSL connection information on the 2nd account options screen. To access that screen tap Options on the fourth E-mail Setup screen and tap Next to display the Options (2/3) screen.
Since Gmail is free and provides 1 GB of online storage for email, it is a very useful email service. What makes it even better for Pocket PC users is that it requires SSL, which encrypts all your email as it travels between your Pocket PC and Gmail's servers. Keep in mind that when you use regular email servers that don't use SSL via a wireless connection, your email is floating through the airwaves in clear text. That means that anyone with the ability to capture wireless traffic can see the contents of your email. I highly recommend that since most people access email via wireless connections today, they use some form of encryption, whether that is provided by VPN or SSL.

I have an xda2 and was always able to collect my email from our Windows SBS2000 exchange server using VPN. Now we have upgraded to Windows SBS server 2003 we cannot get mail.
We are able to log onto the VPN.
We can even use the terminal services and see the server screen, but we cannot download mail.
If we try to get mail we get the following message:-
"Messages cannot be downloaded to your mobile device. Make sure you are connected and your e-mail account settings are correct . Then, try to download messages again"
The email settings we are using are the same as those that worked with SBS2000 server.
Can anyone help please
Thanks
Sam
From what you wrote I have gotten this...
1. Using VPN to connect to work network.
2. You can access resources on work network, proving the VPN is working.
Now, how are you connecting to get your mail? POP, Exchange Mobile???
I am going to assume you have a reason for not just using Exchange Mobile via Internet, such as don't want external access to Exchange box etc. etc.
sbs2003 mail access
I am using pop3 to access.
This was the way I accessed with SBS2000 with no problems.
The settings of my XDA2 are:
email address: [email protected]
user name: [email protected]l
password: mypassword
account type: pop3
incoming mail: servername
outgoing mail: servername
When I ask it to get mail GPRS is loaded and then VPN is loaded
then I get "connecting" then after a period I get the above error message.
If I leave the email prog and go to Terminal Service I connect and see my login and I can log in.
Sam
pop3 isnt enabled by default in sbs 2003, check settings in exchange admin and in services to make sure youve got the pop3 service running
sbs2003 mail access
Thanks for your help. Pop3 was not started, and WILL NOT START I do not know why. It says look in the Event viwer but no errors appear there.
I have started Imap and that has worked and I am receiving my mail. Thanks for your help.
Sam
PS in your first email you refer to Exchange mobile via the internet.
Isv this a big deal to setup and what are the advantages.
Again thanks for your help. If you are busy please do not bother to answer the PS. I am gewtting my mail so all is ok
Thanks again
Sam
I had it working pretty much straight away, OMA is another thing. Ultimately, we moved on from Exchange Mobile as it didn't offer real-time push capability (unless using SMS).
We now use Pylon Anywhere and couldn't be happier. Not only does it do everything you want, it only costs $654 US for five users. It works with Pocket PC, Palm and Symbian (amongst others) based devices.
I have done a search on this site and HOFO and cant seem to come to a solution. I'm about to go crazy.
I know my company uses Microsoft Exchange. I also have webmail access for my email as well as VPN access.
At this point, I'm unsure what to do with all of the info. I was hoping some of you could help me out. I am on yahoo messenger as curiosity7277466 or I am definitely open to calling you or talking via email. I have been really looking forward to making this work. Hopefully someone here can make my first post here a success. Thanks!

it's pretty easy.
*IF* your company has an Outlook Web Access (OWA) Email Server setup so that you can access webmail from the net, you should be able to setup your outlook/exchange email as well.
I bought my 8125 a few nights ago - and while sitting in the store, entered my OWA info and, boom, had my contacts, email, etc. within a few minutes.
Open ActiveSync on your device and click on menu/configure server.
enter your server email address - it should be in the format of mail.doman.com. so, for example, it could look like one of the following:
mail.xda-developers.com
inetmail.yourcompany.com
The point is it will use the same web address that you use for webmail from outside the company. If you use https://mail.xda-developers.com to gain access to your OWA, you'll use mail.xda-developers.com as your server address. You'll likely need to select the SSL connection.
Hit next.
Your use name is your Active Directory user name. The password is your corporate password; and the domain is your AD domain.
You may typically know your user credentials as domain\user name, yet you do need to keep the separate on this screen. Enter user name, passowrd, and domain. Click on the save passwork box.
Hit next. Select your preferences and hit finish.
that's it. you're done.
enjoy.
The key question is which version of Exchange is being used, and what has been exposed to the Internet.
Browsing to Outlook Web Access is the usual clue. Exchange 2003 OWA looks very different from the previous versions - it is very similar to Outlook.
First thing I would try is OMA - Outlook Mobile Access. You can try it from a desktop before you start playing around with your handheld.
https://servername.domain.com/oma
You should get a prompt with username and password.
Enter your username in the format of domain\username and then your regular domain password.
You should then get a list of options in plain text. You can now read your email etc.
Move over to your handheld and enter the same URL and the same thing should happen.
If that doesn't work then you will have to speak to your Exchange administrators to see whether the options have been enabled. There are a number that aren't enabled by default which can stop OMA working.
As Exchange Active Sync works through the OMA virtual directory, if OMA doesn't work then I would be surprised is EAS works.
Exchange ActiveSync setup is as previously posted - but without support enabled on the server, it will never work.
Simon.
The best bet is for you to call your help desk. They may not know but they could probably open a ticket to the Exchage team and you will get a correct answer from them.
There are many different ways to expose the Exchange Front End server to the internet that just guessing will drive you crazy. Some companies expose the whole exchange web directories and other only expose OWA
With all the Firewall Settings Web Proxies and ISA configurations out there it will be hard to tell if you can use Active Sync.
URLs follow this method of connecting to the different IIS Web inerfaces of Exchange
mycompany.domain.com/exchange = OWA
mycompany.domain.com/OMA = WAP based OWA
mycompany.domain.com/ActiveSync = is for ActiveSync
So they have to expose ActiveSync to allow you to use it.

Outlook is officialy not supportet at mail2web live i think, but is there a way to use your desktop outlook with the free service?
currently i sync my Wizard with my Outlook and the Exchange Service, so i have all things synced between outlook and exchange indirectly, but a direct sync would be better.
Yeah, I've tried messing about with Outlook to get it to connect to the exchange server, but no luck so far. If anybody knows a way, then please post it here!
I think the only way to "hack" the service for desktop outlook would be a OMA Plugin for outlook, to sync with the Server ActiveSync.

Could you post any more info about this?
Ye please! would be very interrested in a solution
If you think it have such a tool you misunderstood.
There are only 2 open doors to mail2web: OWA (Outlook Web Access) and OMA (Outlook Mobile Access). We can forget OWA. OMA is for syncing PocketPCs (ActiveSync Server). So we need a plugin or tool for the desktop outlook, that make it syncing over OMA!
Is there any development in this area. I was looking to sync my web2mail with my Desktop outlook.? Is it possible at all?
Cheers
I am presently using mail2web live very successfully.
I have my comcast email forwarded to the mail2web email address and leave the messages on my comcast server to download later to outlook.
I put the mail2web server source settings into Active Sync. It somehow syncs these server settings to the pda and with my unlimited monthly cingular data plan, I get ALL of my email OTA downloaded to my PDAphone immediately as it arrives to comcast.
Works great.
Yeah, that is possible. I am getting my gmail OTA, which I have forwarded to mail2web. My question was about syncing mail2web with desktop outlook, not mobile outlook. The idea is, then I dont have to sync with PC using USB cable at all. I sync with mail2web OTA, and when I log on to outlook on my PC it will sync with mail2web. So, I dont need a physical connection between PC and handheld. :lol:
This works if you pay $1.99 to mail2web.
However I too would like a free version.
Is it $1.99 per month..?
Yes
http://services.mail2web.com/Personal/EnhancedEmail/
or something I am in the process of trying
getting ADSL with a static IP address / web address and using the OWA MS 2003 server settings, setting my PC as a server, so I can use the MSFP to directly sync in with my home PC ( I think you need XP Pro to do this though, not XP Home).
This will also allow me to VPN in and take anything from home out and about.
I should also be able to do this to e.g. play my music files from my PC on my device. Will let you know how this works.
Unfortunately I am not a software developer, but if any of you need an idea; do what I just said in a one off program that runs on any PC and cradled device - syncs 'em together via GPRS / wi-fi that would be nice.
Just to let you guys know that mail2web now offer a FREE MS Exchange based e-mail account called 'mail2web Live'. As standard you can use it with ActiveSync (...and direct push if you're using WM5).
You also get access to the usual Outlook Web Access (OWA) and Outlook Mobile Access (OMA).
I've been playing around with it for the last few days and I'm well impressed - so much so that I've upgraded to their 'personal exchange' plan - to my mind a bargain for a meagre $1.99 a month. This gets rid of the banner and google ads that do take up the best part of 1/2 of the screen in the free version as well as giving you a gig of space and a few other goodies.
Cheers,
Rik
Here's the cheap way of getting picking up emails on outlook and using direct push
Sign up for 2 email accounts, one mail2web account and another email account that uses pop3(or use an existing one).
Set up email forwarding from the pop3 account to mail2web.
Set up your outlook account to leave email on the server.
This way you get the best of both worlds.
Then set activesync to sync to both outlook and mail2web and get the emails from mail2web so thats it uses direct push.
One other thing you could do is to use an advert blocker (like adblock in firefox) this gets rid of the adverts as well.
hope that helps save some cash
thanks

As hedgehog1982 suggestes this is a pretty good option, especially if you have an e-mail address on your own domain. This does have a couple of drawbacks though...
(i)
When you send (or reply to) an e-mail it will come from the mail2web account and not your POP account. You can get around this by setting up both accounts on your XDA (i.e. ActiveSync for your mail2web account and SMTP to send from your own e-mail address) - however, you'll have to remember to send from the SMTP when you send and don't hit reply.
(ii)
You'll effectively get two coppies of your e-mails (one to mail2web on your XDA and one to your POP inbox) - so if you want to delete an e-mail for example you'll have to do it on both. The beauty of the ActiveSync setup is that both server and XDA sync, so if you delete/move/organise your e-mails/calendar/contacts/tasks on either, the other also updates.
There are companies out there that will give you a single (or more) Exchange account(s) on your own domain but this will cost you more - most start from about a fiver a month.
Any way to sync mail2web with Desktop outlook yet?

Guys how do you set in your PPC "both accounts to send from your own email-address" ? My target is to get mails pushed from my corporate exchange server and to be able to reply also using my corporates email address. But our company doesn't allow any remote access to exchange (except VPN with my notebook and OWA).
The only workaround I found is to have redirect emails from exchange server to f.e. gmail, in gmail you can set an alternative email address you can send from (it will fake my [email protected] and send it "on behalf of xx"). This way I can receive and send my emails from my PDA and it looks quite well. But - with gmail I only can pull and not push.
So using mail2web.com I could push and reading your instruction how to set that SMTP in my PDA, it should also work to reply with my corporates address, but there is no possibility to set this you described...how did you do that?
I think what he means is to setup your exchange account as POP3/IMAP, but never use it to receive, only use it to send.
Example:
1. You have ActiveSync setup with mail2web (push), and you setup gmail to forward to this account based on filtering or direct forward.
2. You setup another account with the same details as your exchange server. Have this account setup so that it never downloads. Depending on your setup, you would need to setup either POP3 or IMAP. I would suggest IMAP.
3. When you want to reply to a message, don't hit reply from your 'Outlook Messages' (that's your push email). You would compose a message and use your corporate email servers outgoing SMTP to send it.
However, since you mentioned that exchange is closed except via VPN, it makes me think that they have also closed all other ports.
It might be possible for you to install a VPN client on your device and sync that way?
I recently got this email from att yahoo:
Dear AT&T Yahoo! Member,
We're making some security improvements to your AT&T Yahoo! service. These changes will affect members who send or receive email from a desktop or mobile client program, such as Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Outlook Express, Eudora, Apple Mail, or Thunderbird.
To help us ensure the security of your email, you will need to change the settings on your desktop or mobile email client program.
you may take the following steps to change the settings on your desktop or mobile email client program:
Open your email client program.
Locate the email account settings for your particular client.
Change the POP server to pop.att.yahoo.com.
Change the SMTP server to smtp.att.yahoo.com.
Check the option labeled Use an encrypted connection (SSL) and change the SMTP port to 465.
Check the option labeled Use an encrypted connection (SSL) and change the POP3 port to 995.
Confirm the above settings then click OK.
I already tried my first comandment "Thou shalt not ask before search!" but alas I can't seem to find how to change ports on e-mail set up. I'm running wm6 but I don't know if wm5 had this abbilty as I didn't need it then. Any help would be great!
So, mabey I should have posted under wm6 & titled the post photon question. At the very least somebody would reply to flame me or something. lol
I had the same problem. Turned out to be the operator. They do not offer full Internet services, only WAP and unencrypted e-mail (i.e. no SSL). The problem sorted itself out after switching to another operator . . .
Add a colon then (port #, no spaces) after each in/Out server. That is how I have it set up with my 8525/ wm5
Thanks, I'll give that a shot. If not I guess I can open a hot mail account and forward email till att fixes the auto set up in August (per the "help" desk)
Hello,
I have an HTC Ozone. Purchased about 2 months ago. I have been unable to send email through a company mail server since I have got the phone. I can log on and download my messages with no problem. When attempting to send mail I connect to the server but my phone sends no authentication information and I get a message bounced back saying no relay access allowed. I have tried the microsoft fix but my phone would not install it. I am currently using the most current 3VO 6.5 rom, I have also tried the official rom. With all three roms I have been unable to send mail. I have also tried multiple email clients.
I have tried to send mail through our server over wifi with outlook mobile and profimail. Same resault error 504 relay acces denied. I know for a fact our server supports relay access with authentication, I have no problems sending mail with my laptop using my verizion air card.
As i noted earlier I have had this problem from day 1 with stock 6.1 rom, with the official 6.5 rom and with the 3VO rom.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Brian B.
Ok more testing. Tried same account information with my wife's phone same resault. I was thinking verizon was blocking port 25, cause I have tried other outgoing servers. Our IT guy says logs show phone connecting but not sending the login information. This baffles me. As anyone with an ozone had these problems. I have searched all over everything I find says use an alternate smtp server but this doesn't work either. This phone is really making me angry.
Of course, you are using your phone operator SMTP ?
Do you have the same probleme with GMAIL and IMAP protocol ?

What do you mean? I'm sure I have a T-Mob mail account, but I don't use it. I use my Internet provider's SMTP email. I cannot get my folders on my phone, "deletes" don't get sent from my phone, and every once in a while I cannot send email.
Not all pop server work well with pocket outlook. For instance, I cannot get my gmail mails synced correctly using the pop protocole, I need to activate IMAP (that may solve your sent mail issue).
As far as other accounts go, in order to be able to send mails, I need to use my mobile operator SMTP (and username / login), i.e smtp.orange.fr. (still keeping my e-mail provider's pop account, though).
Is you problem permanent (you never manage to send any e-mail) or odd (sometimes it will, sometimes it won't) ?

The sending problem is intermittent, but the folders issue and the deletes issue are permanent. Plus, if I read and/or delete an email from my phone and do not read it on my email server it gets re-sent to my phone as unread mail.
Btw, the incoming server is a POP server, the outgoing server is SMTP.
All right. Although I do not have a precise idea of what your problem is, I would suggest the following:
- Call you provider (T-mobile if I understood well) and ask them what is their smtp server address, and what is your login / password, and try to use this config to send mail.
- Try to switch one of you webmail from pop to imap and to sync your mails using the imap protocol.
Another solution would be transfering all you mails to a live mail account, as these of course are well integrated in WinMo.
