Hi guys!
Nice skille community you've got here, I'm still browsing through all your previous posts, but I can't wait to ask you this:
I have long been looking for a solution (tweak or software) that would allow me to schedule an automated send/receive on my Hotmail account just the way it works on my regular POP accounts.
Any hints?
So far, I have kept MSN Messenger always on, which allows real-time e-mails reception. But I don't really like this workarround as it drains both my battery and my monthly data transfer allowance (don't know the word for that...).
However, if you were to tell me that this is indeed the only workarround, I would appreciate the answer to this: what are the parameters that would make my Wizard ring or vibrate, depending on which mode it's in, upon reception of a Hotmail e-mail? It does that just fine for POP accounts, but not for Hotmail (although it keeps vibrating whenenver someone pops online on MSN Messenger, which is a pain in the a..).
Well that's it for now, I truely hope you guys can help me out!
Thanks!

I truely wish this was a feature as well. I would love at the very least to be able to set a Hotmail retreival schedule. One of my biggest complaints!
There are several programs to check your Hotmail automatically:
e.g
PocketHotmail:
http://www.frieger.com/photmail/beta.html
HTTPMail Provider:
http://www.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=9539
Well I paid and downloaded HTTP Mail.
At first it seemed I had found the solution I was looking for BUT the data consumption is simply enormous.
Your average send/receive with the regular Hotmail account (the one that cannot be automatically retrieved) uses 1,12 kb when there is no new mail.
Now, the same operation, still with no new message, consistantly uses more than 700 kb! That's basically horrific...
So back to square one, but 10€ lighter :evil: !
Still, thanks very much for trying to help! But this really isn't a good solution...
Again, if anyone has another idea, please share ;-)!

I put this Pocke MSN wish list togther a while ago:
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.

Live Messenger
Up.
I learnt yesterday about the new live messenger and its push capabilities. Needless to say, I was pretty excited to finally have a reliable solution for receiving my Hotmail e-mails immediatly and being notified.
I installed the latest, seemingly non-beta version of Live messenger and began testing it.
Well I was quite disapointed, but maybe (hopefully) I am missing something.
First, the push capability (sync setting on "as item arrives") comes nowhere near a Blackberry or Emoze solution. Well sometimes it does, but in average reception needed about two minutes. Not as fast as I had hoped, but I can live with that.
The main problem, however, is that they seem to have done it again :- I cannot get any notification working. The screen turns from "0 new e-mail" to "1 new e-mail" without any notification being triggered. I played arround with the settings for quite a while but have not been able to find a solution; searching the forum was just as vain.
Anyone any idea? Am I missing something here? No idea it is relevant, but I'm running an AKU1 version of WM5.
Thanks a lot for your help guys!

I used to have Yahoo.go installed on my WM5 Hermes (HTC TyTn, cingular) for quite some time. I love it, it kept my device in sync with all my yahoo services.
All my phone contacts where saved to my yahoo address book, all my calendar entries where sync with my yahoo calendar, and of course the mail as well. Also every time I took a picture with my phone camera, it will back it up to my yahoo photos, so that even after I deleted the picture from my phone it was still saved on yahoo photos, and I could download it back in to the phone any time I needed it.
I am very upset at the moment because I just superCID my TyTn, so that I could install the newest Cingular Rom in it, witch I did and it worked fine, but when I went to install yahoo go, so that I could have all my contacts, mail, calendar, etc. I find out that yahoo upgraded yahoo Go to 2.0, and that new version has not been released for PPC's yet, only for regular phones.
So, since I don't have outlook, because I always backed up my data and info to yahoo, now I have no way to sync it all back to my phone, so I have to do it manually.
The new yahoo go looks great, I can't wait for the PPC release, but until then, I will have to make do by manually importing all my contacts and calendar entries, and accessing yahoo mail by pop3.
check it out here: http://mobile.yahoo.com/go
My bad....
ok I found the link to yahoo go 1.0 here it is: http://us.rd.yahoo.com/mobile/conne...ad.go.yahoo.com/sm/ygo/win_mobile/ygo_ppc.exe
I just installed it and I am synchronizing my data as we speak.
Looks cool, worth a try...downloading.
Great find!!! However, I get an error message when I try to access stocks, weather and movies...anyone else?
It is working fine for me ... weather/movice/finance/driving directions etc. just link in (by opening up PIE, which is my default browser) to my already set preference on my "my yahoo" page.
I like the email integration --- much easier than trying to view my yahoo mail via webpage (and I never wanted to pay for the service to allow pop email access)
thanks for the link! I didnt know we had a working edition for WM5, it kept telling me no version was available!
I've been using this for quite some time. Makes easy backups of photos. It automatically uploads them to my yahoo Photos.
And backing up my calendar, and contacts is always good.
i have issues (here in the UK) of accessing Yahoo Messenger via Yahoo Go - it loads a blank page and will not take me through to the IM. i tried changing the part of the url from 'uk' to 'us' and got through - anyone else having the same issue?

I've just tried it here, it takes me to a web-based yahoo messenger. It sucks, but works!! I'm using the PPC version on a Wizard BTW.
Yahoo Go! for the PPC has a big memory leak problem.
Its been noticed before on this forum as well as the Cingular HTC forum. The application hogs all available memory (if set up to auto sync every X minutes), and forces a soft reset every other day.
I switched to using the POP3 yahoo account (premium service).

Are you using the one from this link http://us.rd.yahoo.com/mobile/conne...ad.go.yahoo.com/sm/ygo/win_mobile/ygo_ppc.exe
or this one
http://download.go.yahoo.com/sm/ygo/win_mobile/ygo_ppc_wm5.cab
This first is yahoo go v1 and the second link it yahoo go for WM5 for the Moto Q/Palm700w.
Maybe the old version 1 is bad, I havent tried either yet.
Yahoo Go! for Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition or Windows Mobile 5.0:

Thanks for clarifying, I wont try it now.
I am still using it ... I soft-reset once a day anyway ... it seems to work fine for me (but I am now going to keep an eye on memory to see if I have the leak issue).
Yahoo Go 3.0 Working!
Hi i just download Yahoo Go 3.0 installed to my Himalaya (XDA II) with WM 6.5, its working guys! and touch screen too!
[Added 30Euro Bounty]
Hello Everyone,
I seem to have run into a shortcoming of both WinMo 6.1 and 6.5.
Apparently (I have searched the forums for this quite extensively) there is no way to have a notification (sound or vibration) to notify the reception inform of an email that has been pushed from the exchange server directly to a subfolder of the inbox, based on a server side rule (i.e. having all the emails sent from my office go directly to my inbox subfolder that is labeled Work Emails).
I am sure plenty of people have exchange accounts with subfolders and would like to see this issue resolved. Moreover, I cannot understand how this feature is present on email clients for Symbian devices but is not supported in Microsoft's own Pocket Outlook (RoadSync for Symbian has this feature).
I am not a programmer, but it would appear bizarre that there is no way to associate a notification to an email, simply because it does not appear in the inbox but in a subfolder of the inbox. From a logical point of view, all that is required is to exted the notifications that apply to new emails in the inbox to ALL new emails both in inbox AND subfolders.
I am willing to pay 30Euros to whomever develops a hack/registry tweak/cab...whatever, that can:
1) make WinMo notify an email that has been pushed to a inbox subfolder;
2) integrate the solution in TF
So far the only solution that have been suggested are:
1) FlexMail 4, that is not compatible with TF or SPB shell
2) http://www.blackmonlabs.com/faq.html. However even this solution is not what I am looking for.
3) CheckMail 2.0 (http://www.soft32.com/download_234983.html) is an app that does exactly what I am looking for, I am now testing if it works with TF3d
Please help,
[I honestly cannot understand how this issue has not been addressed yet]
did you try second today or similar software that allows wmToday and touchflo to run at the same time?
it may work with http://www.blackmonlabs.com/faq.html.
Let me see if I understand this correctly.
I install second today, and for that today screen I install blackmonlab application; therefore, on my second today screen I would get subfolder email notifications.
However, if I understand correctly, I would still have no form of notification when in TF3D today screen. I would still have to switch to my second today screen and verify whether I have received new emails or not.
I don't know....this appears to be so strange. I cannot believe all the Microsoft Exchange users have not in some way addressed this.
Let's see if the addition of a small bounty attracts some good willed programmers.
I am sure there must be a number of people who could use this fix.

yeah dude give it a try before dismissing the idea. it might work well for you
also, whats the name of the app that adds today screen as a tab in touchflo. it might work better than second today or mtoday
I don't know.
In fairness, I am new to WinMO as I recently moved from a nokia communicator E90; I also have some Blackberry experience, since my GF has one.
Honestly, I just love WinMO so far. However, the whole messaging system is pretty weak compared to other platforms and I am rather unsatisfied.
I have not tried SPB mobile shell 3.0, as of yet.
I have mainly used TF Rhodium version and Titanium.
I really like TF, however, I would get rid of both the SMS and Email tabs and replace them with one unique tab that incorporates a fast smooth messaging client. For someone who receives 30/40 SMS per day and about 80 emails, the TF is just very inefficient.
If there was a way to integrate a POWERFUL messaging client in either TF or SPB I would definitely try it. By integrating I mean a Messaging client that:
1) notifies me about SMS, Email (and subfolder emails) vibrating/ringing;
2) Visually modifies my TF3DHome/TitaniumToday/SPB now/ screen showing an envelope and the number of unread messages;
3) provides a pop-up preview (not necessary);
4) one finger tap from Home/today/spb now/ straight to the new Message (no scrolling/clicking to the tab, then clicking on the envelope).
Perhaps there is something like this and I am unaware of it?
hi, does the check mail 2.0 supported TOUCH FLO3D? i went to the description link it says only displays on Today screen.
CheckMail 2.0 does not support touchflo or any other Graphic shell.
Ok someone just messaged me with a solution which appears to be rather interesting.
Using BBconnect and BIS service from phone carrier or alternatively BBconnect and BES (for those who work in a company that runs a BES server).
Apparently BB connect can be integrated in TF3d without issues.
Can someone confirm perhaps?
Did you ever find a good solution to this problem? I too am dumbfounded that this is not natively supported, even in WM 6.5 which I'm running on my Fuze (Energy Rom 8/1 build).
Come on people, there has to be a solution!!!
that feature has never been supported by pocket outlook, nor the PC version of Outlook. ALthough the PC version finally gave the user the ability to create reminders based upon new email into a folder or email specifics. Likewise, PC version of Outlook will not give reminders on flagged items that are not in the inbox and you used to have to use an Outlook plugin to get to do that.

I can definitely do this in the PC version of outlook with the built-in Desktop Alerts. It seems like it would be such a simple and useful piece of functionality to implement in WM. Anyone else heard of a good way to do this, especially in WM 6.5?
THe only solution I have found for this, that does not require a second today screen or closing down TF3D is a #rd party app called watch flag.
Here is the home page http://www.watchflag.com/
I used it with WM6.1, it did the job, I found the interface to be a bit clunky, and did not woirk entirely the way I wanted.
That is probably my fault becaue I could not get it to notify me on specific subfolders, I could only make it notify me on all subfolders.
In the programs defense it was over a year ago and has had revisions since then.
The other issues are the program is not free, but has a two week trial and while TF3D can be running , i think it just has regular on screen messages and does not integrate with TF3D message notifications.
Like i said I have not used it in a Year.
Is it possible to load facebook chat on the HD2? if i go to the main site the chat client doesn't load.
On the left hand side it says friends online. I can pick one of them and the chat box pops up. But when i click 'view all' (friends online) nothing happens.
so it seems browsing the main site on the HD2 i can only chat to friends that appear on the left hand side (a small selection)
So... is there an app for it? or some way to do it? cheers......
download Palringo for Windows Mobile.
download fim
Thanks for the suggestions. I installed both these apps and have the same problem on both.
Parlingo just remains on 'logging in' with the yellow square no matter how long i leave it.
FIM just gives me connection failed all he time.
Any suggestions? Connected over my wifi, opera working fine

Hi Sentinel196 & kcab87
Thanks for the heads up.
Hi all.
I have been experiencing weird functioning of the IM+ Instant messenger, on my Mango Omnia 7.
Even if I check the option "Receive the messages after program closes", I got the notification of message, but when I clicked on the IM+ icon, I got the app's splash screen, then "connecting" notification, and no notified messages! Why is that can't be connected constantly???
I thought that the multitasking was added since Mango...
Thanks for the answers.
excuse me but why you have to use im+ if mango has windows live messenger and facebook chat built in???
Well I use it because of gmail chat
And also, I use the ICQ protocol... The IM has everything, but does not function...
it looks sick with all those features!
