Control Pocket PC via SMS - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

Have a mobile operator which provides SMS-notification, when new mail received on my email box. It comes to Pocket PC (Wallaby) and I would like it to connect to the POP3 account to download mail from it - upon receiving SMS.
Microsoft suggested the following solution: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnppcgen/html/callevents.asp
I don't know C++, neither have the SDK installed... Maybe somebody can suggest the solution?

[sms] aplication to access and sync sms with outlook

hi all,
i'm looking for a tool that can sent sms messages from my desktop pc,
maby there is a plug-in or so for active sync to sync sms, just like the email sync function
thnx
Hi, I use the Jeyo Mobile Extender since a year
http://www.jeyo.com/
Works like a charme
Pocket Controller is another option, lets you control you phone etc. from your PC, a bit like doing a remote desktop connection. You can type and send texts, initiate calls etc. in fact just about anything you would normally do with the phone in your hand

Is it now possible to synchronise subfolders of your SMS account? The versions I tested did not offer this, which is ridiculous.

Push email - SMS to trigger send/receive?

I've been trying to get push email on my PDA. I was trying Exchange Server and AUTD. For those of you who don't know, the way this works is that when new email is received the server sends an SMS to your mobile which causes it to initiate a server activesync.
This is not an SMS which you see - it's a service SMS that the PDA acts upon.
The SMS that was being sent to my phone was:
//SCKL040A AwFqAAADxgADBQHDEMGPINNIoHX2gEOfBBnWxQEB
I wonder if there is a similar SMS content which would cause the phone to initiate a send/receive on on ordinary email account.
Does anybody know anything about how these SMS messages work?
Have u found anything, Baldboy? I got the same idea, and posted it to the number of forums, but no reply - apparently, nobody is interested, however it seems to be the cheapest and simplest way to organize blackberry-free pushmail without any modifications to the server...

Read MSDN. Everything is perfectly working.
Just enter email address of SMS<->email gateway for your phone when asked, setup ActiveSync to sync email with exchange server, and set device to sync "when items arrive".
Of cause this would work only with exchange server. I have exchange 2003 SP1 and WM5 device.

syncing contacts on vario 2 without buying outlook for vista

On my old phone (Nokia) i could sync my contacts into Windows address book on my laptop. Now I've got the Vario2 and vista on my laptop the sync will only let me download my contacts into microsoft outlook- which I don't have and do not want to pay loads more money. How do i back my contacts up or get outlook free
I recently found a program called "PIM Backup". It allows you to back the data up to a file which you can then copy off.
Try looking here or off a similar thread for the download link -

Hi.
Have a similar problem
Using Outlook Express for Email and instead of MS Office / Outlook we use Open Office [its free ]
Found a link to connect O.E. YET to try it, but it is ...
http://www.reunion.com/site-root/download_reunionforoutlook.jsp
Also if you know of a calendar plugin for O.E., please post it
i use Jeyo Mobile Companion, brilliant for backing up contacts, sending SMS via pc.
Its different to some others in the fact that you compile the sms as you would an email but it sends it via the phone, so no internet connection needed.
Its brill at work, save "un-cradling" then reply/send sms then cradle, its all done with a swift alt-tab. heh
Alternative to ActiveSync
I haven't (yet) tried it but there is a project called FinchSync (http://www.finchsync.com) which claims: "FinchSync is a tool for synchronizing contacts, appointments and tasks from Mozilla email and calendar products with a Pocket PC or SmartPhone."
If anyone has any hands on experience with this program I for one would be interested to hear about it...?
you could set up a mail2web account which is push email and has a outlook style web based interface allowing you to sync everything contacts,calendar and tasks Did i mention its FREE. www.mail2web.com

You're using Vista? The WMDC will let you Sync your phone with your Vista Contacts - no problem - infact you should now also be able to Sync your mail with Windows Mail and if memory serves your calendar with Windows calander - all things that with XP you had to have Outlook to do!
EDIT
Sorry - seem to have spoken to soon. The beta version of WMDC allowed for Syncing with those programs - I always use Outlook so I haven't even really looked at those settings since - it appears that it was something they supported in the Beta and dropped from the final edition which is quite unfortunate! (probably just trying to sell more copies of outlook). A free work around might be to use Microsoft Live Mail e-mail client (Not Windows Mail) and then install the windows live messenger and set it up to sync your contact details with Live Messenger and then the Live Mail client should then have a synced version of your contacts - just another idea - sorry bout that!

Outlook Email issue

I can not get my Outlook Email to sync or operate at all. I don't know how to attach my hotmail account to this. Can anyone help? I was unable to find any solutions in this forum.
I'm very new to pc phones & data access (have had my AT&T wireless data and 8525 less than 2 wks.) and I recall having to do a little poking around to attach my hotmail account. But, what I did to get things working initially was to go to http://mobile.msn.com, enter my username/email address and password, and then hit the 'Hotmail' link whilst signed in to see my hotmail email.
Thanks Jefson, but on the device under Messaging, you can view Text, MMS, and Outlook Email accounts. This is the method I want to view my emails because it provides a little more options in sending and receiving emails rather than going to the mobile MSN account through the IE browser on the phone. Thanks though
I should add more information on my phone. I have a Tytn phone and I just recently upgraded to the Dopod version of WM 6. It's great so far, but just the Outlook Email is giving me problems. I was able to sync this with ActiveSync and my hotmail account on WM 5..???
outlook - contacts sync
I have the same problem. Using active sync I can sync everything apart form my contacts - (Im guessing this is because contacts are sync'd through outlook which is also not working). I took my HERMES to the orange shop where I baught it and they said to download a newer version of active sync. Although I cannot find active-sync for download anywhere.
Do you sync to a company server or is it only to your local PC?
hot mail
if you install msn it will ask you if you want to associate your mail account also
click yes
hey presto
off you go
rwcozens - I sync to a local PC, my own laptop
blowfeld - Is MSN avaliable to download to non USA users? Where do I get it from?
thanks
scot
Here you go.
msn
its actualy the windows live that comes with the schaps 54b rom
initialising that will set up the contacts and email for hotmail
it works in uk
mobile messenger / mobile msn live ??
I have not found a place to download windows live or messenger that will allow me to transfer my contacts from my HERMES to messenger/hotmail. Can someone post a link to the appropriate download?
thanks
Scot
Great stuff!!! Just what i was looking for and nicely set out too love the the today page !!!!!

Pls Help: Need Mobile Mail Client to Auto-BCC outgoing emails

Hello !
I am using Windows Mobile 5 on my Pocket PC, with GPRS E-Mail POP3 receiving/sending via outlook mobile.
Every email I send is stored in the “Sent” folder of the mobile device outlook mobile.
However, the problem is, that I then DO NOT have this sent message on my laptop, which I really need when continuing the work from my laptop.
My idea:
I would like ALL messages I send out (or answer) from my WM5 Outlook device, to be automatically BCCd to my Laptop e-mail account.
In my laptop I can make a filter rule, moving this incoming message(s) from my Mobile E-Mail account automatically into the Laptop E-Mail “sent” folder.
However, I cannot make a rule for outlook mobile to automatically send all outgoing mails to a BCC Address as well.
Does anybody have an idea how to achieve this ?
Or maybe: Is there an WM5 mail client which can achieve that ?
Thank you
