I've been trying to get activesync to work with my desktop pc (which is on the net) for a few days now and it seems the main problem is that vodafone (and the others) block the required ip ports. The only reason they seem to do this is to force people to use other software or hardware (ie intellisync which uses other ports). This seems a bit unfair to me so I got to thinking. Move the ports that activesync uses to others which are not blocked. On the pc end this is easy (I used portmap - free software). Hoever, movi the port used by activesync on my xda2 hasn't been so easy.
Does anyone know how to either change the port activesync uses on the xda (either in a config file, hex edit???) Or does anyone know of a portmap type app that will run on the xda2? This way I can get this going (and vodafone can go to hell).

Lyndon.
VPN?
You can easily by-pass the problem by using VPN. Give it a try...
cool - never thought of that. I'll give it a go.
Thanks
I have an email id at my own domain which uses ports 1010 and 2525 (pop3 and smtp respectively). However I cant find out a single way to change the ports on my Xda II Mini from the default 110 port. Any suggestions or working programs? Any kind of advice or help or programs (paid and free) preffered.
mmm that's the same thing i need..... need to set the smtp port 25 to 2525 cause my provider is blokking port 25.
if you have any luck than please let me now
Look for pop3 in your registry, the port value is right beneath it in the same section. Couldn't find the smtp port.

with what kind of tool do I acomplisch that?
edit the register I mean...
newby (sorry) :roll:
Changed to port 1010 but it sure doesnt work
It still connects to 110...whats wrong?

Try Resco Explorer with the registry plugin, It's available on trial.

mmmm damm it doenst work on my tmobile mda vario... still using the smtp.gprs.....
I've upgraded my Vario with the tmobile
ROM VERSIE 1.6.2.2.NLD ( I had the ROM VERSIE 1.3.2.3.NLD) and now it works for 1 smtp account. The other one doens't. That one still goes trough smtp.gprs....tmobile
strange thing is that there are 2 accounts on my vario that connect to the same smtp server with the same settings (tripple checked it.) one is working like a charme and the otherone.....smtp.gprs.tmobile.....
But never the less. It works for one. so maby the next upgrade it will work for both (or more)
Hi,
As per the title... I have a problem getting back my pushmail after upgrading to WM6.
I am with SFR. I updated the ROm for the Radio and the whole WM. Went from WM5 to WM6 (3.23). Everything went well. except that when I reinstall the setting for the push mail with the small piece pf software coming from SFR, it doesn not download mail.
Account is created. Network connection is alive. Everything is fine except it does not work... lol
Thanks for your help.
I had the same problem, checked the activesync error code and found that push mail works when activating SSL encryption.
the error code I had was : 0x85010014
But I do not use Activesync to sync my mail. I use pushmail. Liveconnection. Maybe I do not understand your point.
Thanks.
When you say pushmail do you mean you have setup an account in activesync on the device??
Or "pushmail" is a 3rd party software package ??
This is a third party software but that is almost the only feature that worth to have that knif of phone. This is the same thing as a Blackberry mail system. But on a Microsoft OS.
I know we can set it up directly but it is not alwats alive.
So I use the SFR (The phone company) third party to do the job. It works throufh "Visto" company.
I create a network connection based on GPRS that stay connected with the phone company. The mail software is then able to stay connected as it would be for outlook through exchange. The diffrence is that my account is a pop3.
The service for SFR is provided through push.sfr.fr using Visto Technology.
Since the software is not designed for WM6 (it will have been designed for WM5) it may not work as intended. Unfortunatly you may have to wait until a newer version is available.
That is excatly the answer I was hoping not to receive ;-)
Thanks for your help.
I've isntalled the WM6 LVSW Edition 3.23, do you think it may change somehting If I try the others like the black one or the other?
I dont' really know the differences.
I would recommend upgrading to the latest version of LVSW, its based on a newer WM6 build.
To make sure you have all the recommended stuff on your phone follow my guide. This will make sure you have a fairly up to date device
Suggestion for Push mail
Check if the GPRS setting is wap.cingular or isp.cingular. When I upgraded to WM6, I had my GPRS switch to wap, and when I reconfigured it to ISP, my push mail started working fine again.
If you do not know, you can search for the GPRS configuration in this site.
All the best.
Thanks to alll of you.
I was able to get my mail but using the regular Internet account through the WM outlook. It is less efficient than with the live one.
I've alreayd used your guide with the 3.23 version. But it seems there is a new release every 2 days. I see the 27.3 is now out!
What the diffrences between
XDA Live v0.20.x
LVSW (27/3/2007)
VI Black Edition v1.2
Is that all different version of WM6? Should I hang on LVSW?
Thanks!
Can't find the setting about the WAP/ISP for gprs.
And about the upgrade for WM, it seems that I already have the latest.
IS there a new version that kept the same 3.23.0.2?
Thanks.
I'm also having no luck with the Visto software since updating to wm6. It installs fine and seems to run as it always did, even down to it connecting to push.vodafone.net and saying "connected" and displaying my mailbox name. The problem is emails just aren't getting through!
Also, if I go to the mailbox in the messaging program and try to select "New" it just pauses for a long time and doesn't open a new message so I can't try sending messages.
Any ideas? it seems to be almost entirely working, I'm sure there's some configuration that can be done to fix it?
I found a fix!
A new version not-really-yet-released of the SFR Push Mail software. As soon as I did a clean uninstall / install it connnected ans start to download mail!
Where did you get that version from? Is it the standard Visto software? What version is it?
Thanks.
Got it from the Visto support in Paris. the version is ni my signature. This is the Visto software but for SFR only.
If you are stuck without the real push mail, don't forget you can use a regular pop config on your WM outlook using the Internet connection from your GPRS. It is just not as good as the real tool.
The problem is that my 3G/GPRS data is limited whereas the push mail data is unlimited, including attachments. So push is my only real option.
Does anyone know if there is an actual WM6 device on the market yet that I could say to Visto I'm using?
Hi,
I'm having the same problema as you. Upgraded my Tytn to Windows Mobile 6 (LVSW 26-03-2007 version) and now my Visto push email software does not retrieve any email (I have Vodafone Real Mail Service in Spain based on Visto solution).
The service is the same as SFR in France (and others). Please, could you post your application so I can download and use it (I don't mind having it in french).
Thanks and regards
To all,
Please contact me directly if you want to get WM6 compatible VISTO soft for your PPC.
Just tell me exactly what is your OpCo (VF ES, VF ITA, SFR, etc...) and your GSM number.

My ISP blocks all ports below 1024 so I had to setup my SBS2003 Exchange server to run on port 8080 (HTTP) & 4443 (HTTPS), which works perfectly (tested locally & on remote locations).
When I add the correct secure portnumber to the server address (ActiveSync > Tools > Configure Server Source), ActiveSync cannot find our Exchange Server. When I remove the portnumber everything works fine as long as I'm on my local network.
I enter it like this: exchangeserverdomain.com:4443
I have OWA running perfectly by using the same external server address:<port>, and all needed certificates are on my WM6 device (it's the HTC Touch Dual).
Seems like ActiveSync doesn't like portnumbers.
Any tips?
Me 2
I'm having a similar problem.
Anyone can help?
Many thanks in advance.
Pozi.
If anyone has found a solution for this, I sure would appreciate knowing. As I'm sure you found, older stuff retrieved by Google makes it clear that MS just didn't provide support for ActiveSync on custom ports in previous WM versions, but couldn't they have remedied this oversight by now? Reg key?
Active sync - Exchange: SSL over a non-default port - Solved in WM65 ?
Any idea if there is a workaround for this problem in WM 6.5 ?
thanks,
Koen.
No, I don't know if WM6.5 finally added the ability to specify port number for Activesync server.
We solved this need by using "SSL host headers," which permit multiple IIS sites to use the default SSL port 443 with different host names. Although the IIS (6.0) GUI doesn't provide this capability, it can be done at the command line using adsutil.vbs found in Inetpub\adminscripts. It requires a wildcard SSL certificate, is a little tricky to get right, and results in a misleading error message in the event log every time IIS starts, but it does work reliably.

ISP blocks all well-known ports - server activesync not working
thanks for the information, the configuration of Exchange is indeed not an issue.
Problem is that my ISP blocks all well-known (service) ports like 443,...
I would like to configure server activesync to use a different port (above 1024).
The Activesync interface on Windows mobile does not allow to enter a port number to specify the protocol.
eg. remote.company.com:4433 is automatically changed back to remote.company.com.
Any idea of a reg-key on WM to change the port to use for server activesync ?
If there is a way to do that in WM65, I don't know about it.
What kind of ISP "blocks all well-known ports"?
Good luck.
Not a solution per se but could you use SevenBeta to get your mail pushed? i think it works as long as you can get to the OWA server from the device. probably wouldn't give you contacts but at least you'd get mail while out of the office.
It's not Exchange, but the client...
I dislike it's come to this but it's true, the iPhone handles this over custom ssl ports just fine and I have not come across anything else that does. I do not know why. With the iPhone or iPod touch too I'd guess, you just enter your email address and password. It tries the regular ports and fails, and where you enter the server you enter your port like servername:customsslport and then you have full active synch abilities, synched email, all your subfolders, and the option to synch calendar and address book too.
I recently tried an android phone and looking for a solution, at this very site found out windows phones couldn't do this either... Developers have tried to give google this code correction but they won't accept it for whatever reason. I ended up using a tether to my old iPhone just to get decent ActiveSynch over custom SSL ports until I gave in and took back the Atrix for the newer iPhone, as my old phone was falling apart and was the older slower one. I've tried 2.1 & 2.2 Android phones and when you try to enter the port using serverort syntax you get invalid server format or the save button just gets grayed out until you remove the port. There's a few buggy market apps that sorta work in a limited way. It's possible the Blackberry may allow custom ssl ports on Exchange synch setup too, but I don't know, only that Windows and Android phones had issues with this but it works perfect on the iPhone, so it can't be a limitation of Exchange exactly. I haven't run into any good desktop clients for this, but to access full mobile email, synching even sent items and pushing select custom folders, calendar and contacts the iPhone truly synchs all these fine by entering the same port you use for custom OWA ssl in the Exchange email setup. I wish even desktop Outlook handled custom ssl port synching this well, and I'm not sure how the iPhone does it, as it seems very lightweight.

hmmm this is interesting
Hi all,
As far as I know anybody that needs to connect to the internet through a company proxy (3G or wifi), using Win Mobile 6.1 or 6.5, is facing "big problems".
From what I found doing some searches here in xda and in the internet this seems to be due:
- to a "bug" in the proxy configuration sw that keeps to "0" (instead of "1") the "Type" field of the HTTP-{xxxxxxx} key in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\ConnMgr\Providers\{EF097F4C-DC4B-4c98-8FF6-AEF805DC0E8E}. In other words is like keeping NullProxy configuration insead of HTTP... But this seems to be an "old bug", now the correct configuration is properly saved (I checked in the 6.5 rom I am using and I can confirm).
- But even if the correct configuration is there the proxy password it is ignored, at least for HTTP (source: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa455855.aspx )
For that reason, in my experience, the only programs that can access the net are Internet Explorer and Opera, that allow the user to insert account and pw of the proxy and go ahead... And this should confirm that only the configured proxy address is properly used, not the stored account and password...
But now the "surprise":
I can confirm that the following 4 roms ALLOWED ME TO SURF THE NET TRHOUGH A PROXY WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM !!!
I mean update the weather, use GoogleMaps, use MusicID, check sw updates, update GPS data... and so on !!!
The named roms (for the HD) are:
WM 6.5: (NEW !!!)
[ROM][WWE] XannyTechROM GRID LEO M2.5 ROMS (all versions)
(Note: only with the proxy password saved also in Internet Explorer...)
WM 6.1:
[ROM][WWE][24.07.09][21051.1.6.4]-=® panosha ® =-Black Pearl v 3.4 ("open" ROM, as the author says in his first post)
[ROM][ITA][14/04/2009] LP HD EVO II (5.2.21041 build 21042) Latest Manila
And now the question, as the solution must exist:
Where should we look to find the proper configuration in order to finally use it in all other roms ??
I started checking from the registry, but with no success..
I really hope to see some interest in this, as I understand it is not a "really common" problem...
Regards,
K
THE SOLUTION ... or at least the "very beginning" of it !!
I start suspecting that when the proxy password is saved also in Internet Explorer the chances to be able to use a company proxy with password are increasing... but I still do not understand...
What follows is what I noticed:
- In the WM 6.5 XannyTech ROMs I am using before saving the IE proxy password ONLY the quick GPS update was working (weather update, google maps, ecc. were not able to connect...). This actually means that both account and password of the configured proxy where properly used... but only from the quick GPS progam...
- When I saved the IE proxy password ALL programs that are using the network properly worked... that means that all programs properly red the proxy address stored in the "network section" and the proxy password from IE...
Can somebody try with other ROMs ??
Regards,
K
PS: And why with other ROMs this does not seem to allways happen ??
me 2, the same issue.
I have been trying but still unsuccessfull.
I hope someone can find the solution for this.
Found new rom working
I found another HD rom working properly:
[ROM][WWE] XannyTechROM GRID LEO 1.7b M2.5
So, as I said, a solution exists... but where ??
Regards, K
(PS: First post updated)
Updated post #2

PS: Actually I wrote this post mainly to keep the thread "in the first page"... sorry about that !
I'm using Kisja's WM6.1 ROM (thread) and cannot get proxy to work at my university. I can access local sites, which probably means that there is something wrong with the proxy settings.
But here comes the weird thing: I can check mail through the standard WM e-mail client, and this works great, but I cannot update Manila weather nor surf the web! I've tried both Opera and IE without success.

Just to be sure that I understood: are you using account and password to connect to the proxy, or only the address ?
In may case, I use account and password.
And, just to share, some other little things:
- Not all programs are working through a proxy with account and password... for example Midomi works only through a proxyless connection
- This, toghether with what alreay noticed in the previous posts, confirms that there are programs able to use WM proxy configuration and others not...
We will see...
K
I think that it may be based on the WM build # and what has been removed.
I know I would try dasense's daG's latest kitchen (or equivalent for your phone) without excluding any windows sys packages or certs and running the latest com5 build. 23515.5.5.0
Everything that I've tried works through my company proxy currently.

If found the responsible for this (at least from what I'm seeing : you have a company proxy set up on your USB ActiveSync connection and as soon as you do a sync the "Type" field goes from "1" to "0" thus disabling the proxy.
You'll find a key in "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\App\Tasks" that is something like "DisableProxy", delete this key, restart the phone and you'll be all right.
It seems to me that this is a HTC feature; on some rom it is enabled, not on others... go figure (and I don't know why such a feature exists)
Regards,
Stéphane.
thanks alot
Hello all, I found the solution.
You must:
set the proxy in the APN configuration
connect to the net via Internet Explorer
fill the username and password in Internet Explorer and SAVE it
that's all
This worked for me with the plain rom in the HTC HD2
