I've setup POP3 but have no idea how to setup hotmail. Is this possible? When I've tried it's asked for Outgoing mail info and incoming mail info - but thats for pop3 right?
Has anyone done this before?
You have to install a program called HTTP Mail Provider.
In settings, enter hotmail (or msn if your address is @msn) for both incoming and outgoing mail.
Please tell me more about setting up hotmail in XDA - I have found the software and downloaded it to my laptop, however the 6x files are unreconised by my laptop, theres no setup.exe for example? Can you give me some more info please?
Thanks
HTTPMail Provider
HTTPMail Provider
1- Get the software from www.pocketgear.com
2- After installing it on your device, open the inbox and set a new account
3- Follow the steps. Once you reach step 4, choose HTTP for Account type
4- In step 5, enter hotmail for both incoming and outgoing mail if your addres is @hotmail, or msn fot both if your address is @msn
That's it[/i][/b]
Use pocket MSN. They make a hotmail inbox in pocket outlook for you

Pocket MSN looks great but it could be pricey.
I have istalled the "HTTPMail Provider 1.0", however I keep getting this error when trying to connect..
Inbox
Unspecified error
(80004005
Error Source: Connection Manager
Status: Connecting
I then click OK and find that I need to try again. When I do log in again, Pocket PC just shows me that I'm loggin on and when I go to disconnect as it takes forever, my inbox crashes!!! I then close my inbox and open it again, and after quite a few minutes of waiting I get this error...
Inbox
The operation timed out
(80042002)
Error Souce: HTTP
Status: Logging on.
I don't know if this is a problem but I have not setup my HTTP access, only POP3 and MSN messenger. Can anyone help please?
Can't send mail
Even if I mention hotmail in outgoing server, it still doesn't send mail successfully. It's kinda wierd but my GPRS service provider do not have any SMTP server fot users. I get the following error when sending mail though HttpMail... "One or more arguments are invalid (80070057), Error Source: MAPI, Status: Sending outgoing messages". Please anybody help...
First connect to GPRS using your Pocket PC internet connection
then open inbox and start send and receive
OK I managed to fix the problem - I changed my connection from Work to Internet. however, I have another querry for those who know about this. I have set my hotmail account options to automatically connect and check email every 15 minutes but it says this...
Note that connecting automatically may result in higher connection charges.
Now I understand that my connection is through GPRS which I've been told you only pay for downloading data and do not pay for connection or time spent connected. Can anyone please confirm this is true because I don't want a huge bill at the end of the month!
Thanks again
Paul.
Well, we are discussing another problem, here.
I don't know about O2, but, usually, GPRS is sold by packages of total amount of download (40MB, 80MB, ...) per month, and not according to time use.
So, if you have a GPRS subscription, time does not count. Actually, you can keep your phone always connected.
When you add a new modem connection (using Start/Settings/Connections), in the modem selection, do you have a Cellular line (GPRS) available ?
ps: When you say you receive e-mail headers, is it by e-mail or by SMS ?
I recieve my emails by GPRS
Regarding email header this is just a cropped email limiting the download to about 2K. My network O2 allows me to download up to 100K free, after that they charge per Mb of data or I can buy discounted packages to save money. I just want to make sure theres no connection charge for always staying connected and retrieving my email every 15 minutes!
Yes I have Cellular line (GPRS) available.
It doesn't matter if you connect every hour or 15 minutes or stay connected all the time. What makes the difference is the amount of kb you are downloading each time you send and receive e-mail. Probably, whether you are receiving usual pop3 or HTTP, they are all part of the 100k package or whatever. So if you limit your messages to headers only, you would be saving a lot. But even if you exceed your package limit, it must not be expensive. In my country, the cost is 1$ per 1 MB.
In sony ericson cell phones, there is option in messages settings that you can set it to get Area Info. After that you will see some information about your cell location in first screen.
is there any program/tool for getting area info on wm5?
Such app ewisted also on Nokia
Yes, that would be good to have such app on HTC. I remember to have used an app on my Nokia (7650) that allowed to automatically change my phone profile depending on the area it received from the operator antenna.
Any info on that ?

yes you can...
- go to settings > cell broadcast
- check the 'Enable' and 'Receive Channel List'
- tap 'Add' or 'New'
- give any name (e.g: location), and enter the channel number '050'
- DONE. you will receive a message from network everytime the phone enters new area.
credits to someone in this forum (i forgot) who gives this tips.
Thanks.
Or you could install Google maps. (Visit www.google.co.uk/gmm on your mobile web browser)
It has a location function based on cell sites (no more accurate the more cells near you.. It gives you an area on the map displaying where you are (in case you've got no windows). You can then search for businesses in your area.

Another vote for Google Maps. I'm running in my 8125 and it will give you a good idea of where you're at area-wise. Plus, it's simply an excellent mapping and navigation system.
However, the way it works depends on someone with an active GPS transponder being in the same general area as you. Now, this works most of the time perfectly well, and will give you a pretty good pinpoint of where you're at (within .5km or so, is what I've found). That said, sometimes late at night when not many people are out and about, or when I go over to my girlfriend's house, who lives in a sparsly-inhabited part of town, it won't always come up with a fix.
Still, by far my favorite application on my phone.

cell channels only available in selected models
you can add a third party application but it will be dependent on your radio rom!
google maps support this but you will have to pay for it because its over GPRS or EDGE.

I am really seeking for another application, do you know one?
Also I saw in O2 XDA ppc with wm5 that there is option in phone setting for setting broadcast channels is it possible to use o2 cpl file in my ppc?
is there any GSM codes or GSM command to enable Broadcast Messages?
Is there possibility to have field in adressbook saying in which network contact has his cellular phone? Ideally it should be automatically set based on prefix list (every netowrk has his own) but since it's possible to migrate with number it's useless.
The best would be to manually set network picture for every number.
And it would be nice having this picture also on dialpad skin.
I think maybe it should be possible to somehow overlay network logo onto person's picture?
Hi
I was wondering how to know if WiFi has priority over 3G when its enabled because I notice when I have WiFi enabled and do send and receive in my outlook it's turning on the data connection option in connectivity (thats 3G I'm guessing) and downloading stuff. Ideally I'd like it to use the WiFi if its enabled but am not sure if it is?
Can someone clarify please!
Thanks
I'd like to know the answer to this too.
The only solution I've found which is quite crap to be honest is to set up a fake dummy connection or go
All settings > Connections tab > Connections > Advanced tab > Select Networks
Then choose My ISP or anything that doesn't have a modem connection defined. You'll then have to turn on wifi whenever you want to access the net. This isn't exactly ideal to be honest.
From what I've found out today and from searching on here is that it's the windows mobile live client has got it built in to prioritize GPRS/3G etc over Wifi ...
utter crap so I looked up alternate ways to get hotmail you can use pop3 and stuff but not sure it will sync like IMAP does, but that's the only solution I've found for now. So change the network connection to something other than mobile web when you're on wifi then change it to mobile web when you're on the streets etc and don't have wifi access.
Must be a better way though??? There's been so many people ask this on this forum and everyone of them got half arsed replies.
Outlook plus pop is ok, that is it use wifi if it is available and 3G otherwise. The problem is on hotmail accessed using windows live.
I found a solution in using HTTPMail provider 1.5 to access hotmail (it is not free but cheap enough). You can find it googling around.
I read reports around about problems during installation so I simply extracted the files (HTTPMail.dll, MIME.dll, HTTPTransport.dll and HTTPMailReg.exe) from the cab and copied them under \windows, registered manually HTTPMail.dll, MIME.dll and HTTPTransport.dll using regsvr_arm.exe (you can find it at http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=80255&d=1207768826) and registered the software using HTTPMailReg.exe
After installation an hotmail account can be created using this procedure.
Open Inbox
Tap Accounts and choose "New Account"
Enter your a fake e-mail address (not hotmail, otherwise windows live kiks in) and tap Next
Skip auto configuration (otherwise windows live kiks in) and tap Next
Set the user name to your complete e-mail address, enter your password, check the "Save password" option and tap Next
Set the Account type to HTTP and tap Next
Depending on which service you are using enter "hotmail" or "msn" (without the quotes) for both the incoming and outgoing server names, leave the domain field blank and tap the "Options" button
Set the connection to "The Internet" and tap Next
Set the maximum amount to fetch for each message or accept the default settings and tap Next
Set the maximum age for the downloaded messages and tap Next
Good luck.
i would be interested in this too.
at home, i have a wifi router and i'd like the phone to use that connection when reachable/available. then, when i'm not at home and there's no other wifi available, without doing any manual setting, it should skip to 3G.
is the device working like that by default? any special settings needed?

Can you run over this please as I'm not getting the screens in the order you've written them.
1. First screen I get email address so I put in a fake one.
2. Second screen I get "Your Name" field and then "Account Display Name"
3. Third screen I get "Incoming Mail Server" ... what do I put here? You said "hotmail" or "msn" ... but what exactly... pop3.hotmail.com or what?? and other field is account type. I see HTML there so I choose that.
4. Fourth screen is "Username" and "password" I put that as my hotmail username (not fake) and proper password...
5. "Outgoing Mail Server" ... again what to put for this?? Advanced settings on this page ... I've set it to "The Internet"
Left the rest of the other pages as default when I go to hit send and receive I get an error saying:
"The URL does not use a recognized protocol (80042001) Error Source: HTTP Status: Logging On"
hmm??

1. Ok.
2. Insert whatever you like.
3. Insert literally "hotmail" or "msn" and select HTTP.
4. Username should be the complete address, for example [email protected], password ok.
5. Again, insert literally "hotmail" or "msn", advanced setting ok, do not check Outgoing... and Use the same... should be grayed (disabled)
Before that you must register the DLLs (using regsvr_arm.exe) and the software (using HTTPMailReg.exe) and soft reset.
Followed all of that exactly as you said registerd the dlls and the software soft resetted and got a different error 80042002 HTTP Forbidden

I'm sorry but can't say what the problem is.
Just in case this is my account configuration (after the initial configuration I edited the address on the first page to the correct value, maybe you should try this too).
It sounds to me as though the people with the problem of cellular data connection kicking in when there is a valid wifi connection ought to examine the settings in whatever application is playing up.
e.g. someone mentioned that pocket outlook opens a 3G connection instead of using the wifi connection. In this case go into email settings (windows messaging application, menu/options then choose the email account that is causing the problem) click on "edit account setup" then press "next" 3 times and press on "advanced server settings". Check what is set under "Network connection:" In order to use the currently available connection this must be set to "The Internet" If you have set it to your cellular data connection for instance "orange internet" it will always use that connection and ignore the wifi.

I can only choose "Internet" under email settings and not my cellular data..?
The options I have are:
Orange WAP
Orange MMS
Orange Internet
Work
The Internet
I ended up just putting in my hotmail details manually using POP3 and set it to use the pop3.live.com:995 and smtp.live.com:587 rather than this whole HTTP issue with SSL and authentication for outgoing and inbound mail. "The Internet" for the network connection to use and made sure it leaves messages on server so now it'll sync without removing them off the inbox and uses the wifi first rather than the 3G.

I have Telenor/Vodaphone in Sweden and am having similar difficulties. It works well to use "The Internet" if I am on a wireless network. However, if I am without wireless I get connection error and have to switch network to "Telenor Internet" for it to work. Can anyone help out?
I'm currently trying to resolve this same issue on my girlfriend's MWg Zinc II running WM6.1.
The strange thing is, I have a Samsung Omnia, also running 6.1, with (as far as I can tell) the exact same setup for email and connections, but I don't have this issue.... ie when I'm connected to wifi and I sync my hotmail, it uses the wifi connection and does not try to connect using cellular data.

On both phones, when I "choose the email account", the next screen to appear is the Windows Live settings screen (where you cannot select the options you mention), not the standard email settings screens... so this method does not work for me.

I've had the same problem on my new Touch Pro 2 on T-Mobile, but didn't have it with my Vodafone v1615 (HTC TyTN II).
If you still have this problem, may be worth taking a look at:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4063850&postcount=4
This has fixed my problem.
I have had this problem with windows live for over 4 years, all other applications will use wifi over 3G if its available.
Windows live will only use 3G, which is an absolute nightmare when traveling as i dissable data and make use with WIFI in hotels and cafes.
Hello, i've got a really annoying problem with my omnia...
When an application uses internet explorer, like facebook integration in spb, facebook instant messenger, appstore, internet explorer shows an error 403 forbidden
The screen explains the problem i think...
Does anyone know how to solve this?
Thanks a lot
up, no one has an idea?
maybe Try contacing your service provider. may be a restriction there I had this with t-mobile a while back
try this!!
Go to Start>Settings>Connections>Connections>Advanced>Select Networks
Select ''MY ISP'' in the first dropdown box(you can find name of your connection setting instead of My ISP for eg. ''Airtel GPRS'' if you are airtel user)
and select ''My Work Network'' in the second dropdown box.
I selected My ISP, but now displaying can't connect to the internet...
