I am having lots of trouble logging into various forms on my XDA that I normally access easily on a normal PC. I cannot even log into my webmail via Pocket Internet Explorer.
I have been told it is the browser.
Please can someone recommend a good browser for a Pocket PC or point me in the direction of the way to log into my forums and webmail.
Thank you.

I have use all the time homebanking at home. I can use explorer to do lots of things with my bank accounts. My bank, like many others, offer this service by HTTPS.
I really would like to access it in my Pocket PC thru WiFi, but the autentication method on the webpage doesn't work on all Pocket PC browsers i've tried. And I think I tried them all.
Check out the banks site to see what kind of authentication i'm talkin about: https://caixadirecta.cgd.pt/
I think it has something to do with java version ou something...
Can anyone find a solution to this? I've tried pocket Explorer, MiniMo, Net Front, and some other browsers... the all fail to run the authentication as it should.
Instead of typing the user name and password, this authentication method works on clicking the numbers on screen. When I try that with the PPC nothing happens
CGD works with opera
I had the same problem but it works now with the Opera browser.
Hi!
When I navigate on the web using Pocket Internet Explorer on my pda-phone I cannot have access to some forum or view via browser my mail account.
I call my phone provider (gsm/gprs) and they tell me that I must not have activate IE' popup block.
Where can I found this option?
Thanks!

Your phone provider has morons in technical support!
There is no such thing as "pop-up blocker" in PIE (Pocket Internet Explorer).
The reason you can not see many sites is because this browser is very limited, it can not handle java and other things many sites, particularly forums and mail need to display properly.
What you need to do is download the free minimo (mozila) browser. It can handle almost any site and has tabs and other goodies - the downside is it is extremely slow (heavy app).
haha
I had my suspicions about that...
When they tell me about popup a huge doubt grow in me!
I thought I'm wrong
...
But there is a strange thing. One of my friend have hp 6515 with Windows Mobile 2003se and he can access to one forum that I can't access with my xda! ...it's strange...
What do you think about opera?
Thank you,

i'm not sure what the deal is with your friend being able to browse the website while you can't, but i do highly recommend opera's latest beta. far and away a better browser than pie, with many more features such as tabs and flash support. most definitely one of, if not the, best for internet browsing on pocket pc.
here's the link for WM2003:

Or trying using Opera Mobile as your main browser.
CAn anyone please help with the following problem?
When I log onto my email provider's web access page using a WiFi connection from my Hermes everything goes OK until the point when I have to enter my username and password. At this point all keyboard input into the relevent boxes appears to be disabled, but I can still control the browser OK. Any ideas ??
chances are the site is encrypted or uses SSL and the version of pocket IE on your device does not support logging into that site. you can set the account up in messaging or you can try a different browser such as opera mobile.

Im not sure if this file works on WM6 but I had no problems when i used it on WM5.
Thanks Cliff I will try Opera - never did like IE anyway
My Schools network uses clean access agent, which checks to make sure your windows device has the correct authentication. It will not let me go on ie, as it sees that I do not have the correct Virus protection etc. However it lets you use Opera, as it just lets it bypass the checks because none are in place for it.
I can use Opera or Skyfire, that isn't a prob. But when I try to use a program that connects to the Internet such AIM or QuickGPS, It won't work. Im assuming that the program is using IE to access the data. Although I have no idea how a program connects to the Internet (Does it use a browser?) Anyway, is there a way I can change the settings to get the program to use Opera?
Thanks,
I'm not sure that it will work, but you could try changing your default browser.
There are many threads in the forum with this information, Here's one, do a search for others.
hey, if you talk to your university's computer support team, they may tweak their internet settings so mobile browsing can work. i go to western connectisut state university, and i e-mailed the computer center with this problem (i dormed on campus and the ResiNET they used blocked me as well b/c i didnt install clean access agent. the university's network read my device as if it was a desktop since they blocked me saying i needed to install that ****ty software). once i did that, they e-mailed me back saying they updated their systems so i was able to use the web-based login, and then i began surfing the net. once u logged in, you should be able to update the GPS & use AIM with no real problems.
i hope this helps! there isn't a real way to bypass the system. believe me, i tried searching for ways to bypass the system. changing your default browser won't remedy it b/c the network only reads IP addresses and the fact information (doesn't matter what it is) is being pass through its network, it will block it without proper ID keys from the web-based log in. i even tried searching for a mobile version of cisco clean access agent but there isnt such software. like i said, talk to your university computing center and they can help you. it is really up to them to be able to change the settings around.
I have seen this same problem covered on forums for the Diamond and also on Opera related sites, but not really seen a solution as yet...
I'm having real problems accessing my company Webmail via Outlook Web Access (OWA) within Opera. Each time I do it, instead of getting the login screen I get a cookie authorisation problem where it tries to download 'CookieAuth.dll' (opening or saving does no good).
Through messing about I managed to get it to work ONCE! When i tried to replicate the scenario (clearing cache/cookies etc) it didn't work again .
I can get it to work through Skyfire, but I'm not entirely happy about using it here as pages are rendered on their servers...
I know some of you will say why don't you set it up to sync via ActiveSync, but I believe work have put some kind of block serverside which prevents me from doing this, so for the moment I'm stuck.
Any suggestions folks?
Had a similar problem myself and it was down to my office server using two versions of web access and one being outdated.
My resolve came from a simple change of web address.
Ask your Network admin if they have an alternative address for access.
Instead of the original owa.xxxx.xxxx I was told to use webmail.xxxx.xxxx for ours.

Thanks for your reply Farsquidge. Hmm, yes I'm using a webmail.xxx.com address - I think this is actually due to a problem with Opera, but you say that you can access it okay now?
I use OWA to my work without any issue
Why not just set up active sync instead?
Edit: uhm.. sorry
No problems accessing webmail.xxx.com on my end.
