Hello everybody,
I'm a satisfied user of a MDA Vario, but I have some questions about tweaking the software. Is it possible to receive e-mail from pop3 accounts automaticly, like SMS? I don't wanna check it every time, I rather like it when it gives me an notification.
Thanks in advance,
Ruud
When setting up the email account there is usually an option to connect to the internet and check every X minutes for new email. X can usually be a value between 1 and 59 I think. That is what is normally available by default with the Windows OS I am sure there are other packages (that can be purchased) that offer more options. I use the same setup and it is fine for me
Yes there are others solutions as well. I'm using vgsmail for this. It's an imap client, so you need an imap account instead of a pop account. The software is still under development & not everyone is pleased with it. http://www.vgsmail.com/ppc/

One problem with this one though.
It doesn’t work from standby, your device has to be switched on to receive notifications.

Thank you, but I don't have an IMAP e-mail, I use DirectAdmin, and IMAP is not supported. I can't change the interval setting, I think there's no one.. could anyone give me detailled support?

On you wizard, open outlook, open your mail account.
Menu/tools/options
Select your mail acc
next (e-mail address)
next (user login)
next (acc type)
the server info page (page 4/4)
options:
Connect & check for messages every: <check box> <pick time period> <pick connection network>
Then it should use wifi/gprs/dun whatever you have set as the network type to check your mail to the frequency you require.
IF you only want it to auto check when on wifi, and not on GPRS (costs etc) you will need to edit your networks (you can add more to have 1 just for wifi) start/settings/connections/connections
Hope it helps
Thank you, this is where I'm looking for!

Trying to make a new profile for this, but wifi does not show up under "modem" connection. Am I missing something here?

in the advanced connections tab click "select networks" (this is where you made a new profile) set the new profile as "internet"
then it'll apear on the settings page, configure it as required then change back to normal network as required.

Hi
I hope you don't think me too much of a plank but I've recently bought an Xda2 and am confused as to the best method of getting my email's.
<sigh> not another idiot I hear you say but as far as mobile anything's are concerned I'm a dummy!
I don't want to dial into my ISP every time so if any of you 'Patient' people can help me set up my Xda, I would be most grateful.
Best Regards
Ian G
It's quite easy providing you have a bit of information about your ISP.
Open your inbox - doesn't matter which one, active sync or SMS.
Use the Accounts -> accounts... menu option to open your accounts
Add a new one with the new button.
First settings page: Enter your email address
It'll now try and auto-configure your email settings. I have never known this to work, so hit the skip button.
On the next screen, enter your name as you want it seen, and your ISP's username and password (check the save password too).
I presume this is a regular POP3 account, so leave POP3 selected on the next page, and give it a name - this will eventually appear as a new set of inbox/sent items/outbox/drafts once you've finished configuring things.
Next page, enter your ISP's incoming mail server address, probably [email protected] or [email protected].
For outgoing mail - and I'm presuming you're with o2 here, use smtp.o2.co.uk. Outgoing mail servers usually only allow people to send mail when they are logged on, so your ISP's outgoing mail server will not allow you to send mail if you're connected via o2 gprs. To send mail via the usual GPRS connection, this must be o2's mail server. Leave the domain blank.
Click the options button and on the options page select whether you want to check for mail periodically (Note, due to a crap design decision at microsoft, only the set of email folders that was most recently viewed is synchronised). Select "The Internet" as the connection (presuming you want to use GPRS or Internet passthrough, and you haven't change the default O2 connections).
On the next options page, leave each checkbox blank, and on the final page you can opt to receive whole messages or just the header + a certain amount of included message body.
Once you click finish, things should start working, and you should be able to select the new ISP's inbox, write messages, and send them with the icon at the bottom of the screen.
Let us know if you get into any problems.
Much obliged to you A.C
I will give it a go thanks for your patience!
Best Regards
Ian G
Set that up ok A.C
Now I get "Unable to connect: you have no modem entries created and no network card present"
What do I do now A.C - bearing in mind that I haven't entered anything into the Xda2 yet, only got it this afternoon!
Thank you
Ian G
PS - I would want to connect GPRS (I Think) <embarrased smile>
If you dont have any modem connections in settings/connections/manage existing connections, you will have to create one, tab new give it a name, chose celllular line gprs, tab next , acesspoint name! dont know about UK settings but here its: internet, tab next , well dont know what to use in your network, here we dont need to fill in anything, tab finish..Now if you then tab and hold you new connection there comes a pop up menu:delete / connect chose connect and if your settings are correct youll see ( after a info pop up) two arrows at your signal strengh indicator, and you are connected...to disconnect hold down your hang up button..using your inbox, send or recieve should start up your gprs connection automaticly..
Dont know if was any help, but anyway, good luck.

Hi
Hoping someone can help me!
My Touch HD has been working fine up until yesterday, and now for some reason it is no longer sending emails. I know the settings are right because it was working fine until yesterday.
I have done a hard reset, and installed an alternative ROM but still no luck. My email server itself is working fine.
Any ideas please, it's driving me mad!
Thanks in advance.
Ben.
Anyone help!
Ben,
You'll have to give us a little more to go on.
Who is your Mail Provider?
What error are you getting?
Anything else that might help.

Also are synchornising your mail by using WiFi or 3G
Provide Sreenshots if you can
Hi - I'm having a similar problem on my Touch HD. I have a POP email account set up which connects and downloads emails absolutely fine when I'm on Wifi or connected via Activesync. However when I am on a data connection (i.e. GPRS, 3G, etc) it comes up with an "synchronisation error", and suggests I edit my connection settings. The data connections works for everything else, including web browsing and other applications that require it. Its almost as if the mail application isn't being allowed access to the data connection unless its over wifi.

Check your service provider.
I had this problem once and they were "playing" with the POP access over GPRS.
I would give them a quick call.
Regards, D
Yup, sounds like I am having the same problem as DaveHodgkinson.
Can download emails fine, can access the internet fine. Just can't send emails. I know all my settings are correct as they were working fine previously, plus I can send/receive via Outlook and webmail absolutely fine. I have a QIQ hosting package with my own domain that I use for email.
I have read about other people having this same error on their WinMo devices, but have not been able to find a working solution for it.
The error message I get is "the message could not be sent. Check that you have network coverage and that your account information is correct. The try sending again".
Well I do have network coverage, and the account information is correct, so what next!!
This fault renders a major function of the phone unusable.
I doubt this is a "fault".
I'll bet your mobile provider is blocking port 25 making everything else not matter.
Get a telnet client and make sure you can telnet to your mail server on port 25.
Use your wireless providers SMTP server.

From searching google this problem appears to be too widespread to be operator specific. I have tried an alternate port and that also fails. I am on o2.
anybody anymore ideas?
Planetgong,
If you are on O2 UK, this worked for me:
If you can't get your own email providers SMTP settings to work then you can use O2 settings for sending email (while keeping your own email provider for incoming email). To do this your main email settings should look like this...
Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)
Host Name: smtp.o2.co.uk
User Name: [email protected]
Password: youro2password
Your Advanced settings should look like this...
Outgoing Settings
Use SSL: Off
Authentication: Password
Server Port: 25
If you can't remember your O2 username and password (you will have registered this when you activated your phone) then just register another one at www.o2.co.uk (the 'Register' link is near the top left corner).
Hi
Thanks for the reply. I've just tried that but get the same error message. Can you tell me where I can find the advanced settings?
Planetgong,
Assuming you can log onto your o2 mail box on your PC/laptop. And sign out again.
Go through email setup, my outgoing mail server is smtp.o2.co.uk, tick outgoing server requires authentication, untick use the same name and password. Under "advanced server settings" (at bottom of screen) have both boxes unticked. Make network connection O2 active (not The Internet).
done and next.
Enter O2 user name and password
continue to end of setup.
Then try it!!
Hi
Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately this still didn't work. It is like my Touch HD has suddenly decided to stop all outgoing SMTP connections. I have tried so many different things now and it still isn't working!

Although the problem is supposed to be solved on the version of Windows Mobile on the Touch HD, it clearly isn't! Cheers Microsoft.
Not sure what to do now. Don't see why I should accept a phone that all the features don't work on?
I've also got the .cab fix installed linked to by the traceyandmatt site.

Didn't work for me! couldn't send any email anymore! Restored a backupfile
I have
G1
FW 1.5
MLIGN-HeroV3.0
I can't log into yahoo mail.
does it have something to do with a port? it's on port. 995.
And when I play music, it plays from the speaker that you hear from.
Not the one in the back.
Do you have Yahoo's paid service or just using the free version of yahoo mail? If you don't pay for the extra upgrade you can't get yahoo emails on your phone.

Okay here is the procedure on how to get the free version of Yahoo mail WORKING on your G1.
Make Sure your WiFi Connection is turned OFF first, before you tell me this does not work.
Go to your Email icon > Press Menu > Add Account
Type in your full yahoo email address including @yahoo.com
Type in your password
Go to manual setup > Press IMAP account and change to these settings....
Incoming server settings
Imap server - imap.mail.yahoo.com
port - 143
security type - TLS (if available)
Press Next, It will check your incoming server settings, then it takes you to the Outgoing Server Settings
Outgoing Server Settings
SMTP Server- smtp.mobile.mail.yahoo.com
port - 25
security type - TLS (if available)
* check Require sign-in
Press Next, Verifying Out Going Settings, Press Next at Account options unless you need to change a setting.
Give your account a name (optional ) - i called my Yahoo Mail and click Done
Hope this works out for those that could not get this done.

Midnight scarab, The reason why you are getting this message is if you chose TLS (Always). I tested it with that setting and got the same message "TLS required but not supported by server". Try it again hope that helps.

Psychoace, the only thing I know of that would cause the invalid username or password is having the wifi connection turned on. The initial setup needs to be done over a 3G connection. If that does not work let me know and I will try to help you out some more..
Thanks a TON! As always I searched all over but should have came to XDA in the first place
Guys please help.
I have two problems with Hotmail which I have no idea how to resolve
1. When I'm on the WiFi synchronizing still wants to connect through 3G. Why?!
2. It NEVER displays my whole inbox but ALWAYS ONLY 50 messages. Is that possible to work it out?!
I have this on every WM Device....
So nobody here beeing able to help?!
I don't know mate, I think it connects by 3G first by default. If I turn the phone off, then it does it by WIFI. It's what I usually do when I want to sync my mail anyways. So I have never looked into changing the order of what it uses to connect.

Well the thing is every app in this device uses WiFi by default once connected, including other mail accounts!!!!
So why the hell only Hotmail is different?!
And why it shows only 50 messages when my inbox is 200?????

I think there was a setting for that message # thing. Aaah I cant remember right now I am sure someone else can remember this. I don't use hotmail myself on the X2, only GMAIL and I set mine to only show todays messages, so I never have the issues you are.

Sadly there is a limitation of 50 hotmail messages, and this limitation is in WM 6.5. I have looked in the registry and not been able to find any settings for this, seems to be hard-coded.
Please prove me wrong anybody!
The only solution I see is to use the POP3 protocol for your hotmail account instead of the hotmail client:
Incoming: pop3.live.com (SSL)
Outgoing: smtp.live.com
SMTP Port: 25, outgoing autentication required.

Well all of my emails are on ProfiMail anyway....
I hope this will be usefull
i didn't see the limit problem because my hotmail doesn't have many mails. but what i know about your wifi/3g connection is that you should change your setting in ==> Start/settings/Connections/connections, go to advanced tab and select networks, it opens network management for you that you can set the connection setting for programs that automatically connects to the internet and to a network.
you should choose any network BUT the network you associated your 3g with.
for example, i set both on my work network, so every connection goes out only on my wifi , if connected. if not there will be no costing connection.
Hello, guys
My e-mail used to be updating correctly the first few days. (set 2 hours interval). But now it isn't. Is it because I already opened the new e-mails in my PC? I use Yahoo, FYI. One more thing, how to refresh the e-mail? Like update now option in weather and twitter. Thanks.
try send/receive and see if you get all the emails you've already read come through.....
Sometimes emails will update on wifi only as you'll need to go into email setup manually and choose your connection...
That could be your problem...
Had the same problem but solved it as follows:
Goto Settings, Wireless controls, Menu, Connections, Set up my proxy server.
If the box 'This network uses a proxy server to connect to the Internet' is checked, uncheck it! This works for me every time.
