WM5 imap email annoyance

In pocket explorer options I can set the connection to automatically detect. Which means if I am active synced it will use my laptops internet connection, and if it is not it will connect to GPRS.
However, in the imap email options you have to choose either work on internet. So when I am activesynced I need to choose work, and when not I need to choose internet to get it to use one of the gprs connections.
Apart from this problem wm5 seems fine.

Newbie - importing contacts + wlan question

Hi there,
New the the whole xda wm5 thing and just getting my head round what I can and can't do with (so be prepared for some dumb questions from me). Here's my first 2:
I don't use outlook and all my email contacts are in thunderbird. Is there a way to import these to my xda without going through an outlook sync?
I only use the wlan when I'm at university. So far it connects fine and I can surf the web quite happily. I can also access my email (imap accounts) but, as yet can't send. This is because the uni network restricts functionality for basic connections. To send email, I need to establish a vpn connection. I've tried setting one up and telling it to connect but nothing happens. I've read on the forums about an issue that vpn is only supposed to be used for "work" connections - I think I set up my wlan connection to be a "connect to the internet" type. Does this mean that I cannot do what I'm trying to do - that is, connect to my uni wlan, establish a vpn connection, then use it to browse the web and send/receive email? Do I need to connect in 2 different ways to do what I want?
Thanks,
John

Q1 - no idea, sry
Q2 - If i remember correctly, you can set your VPN to connect to "my work network" (or make a new network group, call it Uni or something) then you can make that (Uni) network connect to the net. this should allow you to passthrough the local network and onto the internet.
If you dont know where the options are, look in settings/connections/connections/advanced. and/or post again for more help.
Hope it works

Cheers for the reply. I'll give that a go tomorrow.
Anyone any suggestions for the contacts import?

Can't connect to the net via Activesync

Any tips? I'm sure I have everything set up perfectly, but it just won't download any web pages. Is there something i'm missing?
I can download my e-mails fine (Hotmail, and IMAP) but can't get any web pages open using eather IE or Opera.
Cheers

Try disabling proxy on your GPRS/EDGE connection first (take note of the settigns first). I haven't been able to do anything using Activesync Passthru.

It was allready disabled.
I've just done a hard reset, and it still won't connect with a fresh Activesync connection. Any ideas?

ACTIVE SYNC AND INTERNET
Under options in ACTIVE SYNC---you have to have THIS COMPUTER CONNECTS TO INTERNET .

Thanks, but it's allready ticked.
Anything else?

hi!
Use tweaks2k2.net or any other program that enables the browser pass as IE 6.0.. just try

ACTIVE SYNC AND INTERNET
I've also had problems if my OUTLOOK inbox is set to my POP MAIL ACCOUNT (YAHOO). When I check outlook mail for some reason it connects.
Also--what are your connection settings to get to INTERNET for your GPRS and WORK settings unrelated to active sync?

I don't get what you mean. What will this do?

hi
Well, matheprat im just guessing if this is right... but i have encounter this problem wherein i can't load any web page on my ppc..theres an option on tweaks2k2 where you can chage PPC IE as IE 6.0 Well It will not totally chage but it will make your browser pass like an IE 6.0.. just try and let me know if you've done it

Thanks for the reply. I tried doing the above, and there's no change, I still can't connect. Every time I connect the PPC to Activesync I get a message saying that it's unable to find a server assigned IP. Ive tried using a specific IP (my computers), and leaving it to obtain one from the server, but neither work. When it was connecting before, i set it to obtain an IP from the server.
I also can't update the weather info for SPB Pocket Weather, but I can check e-mails (hotmail and IMAP), and sign into MSN on the device.

Mail via WLAN only?

I really searched hard, but couldn't find any solutions, neither in a german forum.
My TD2 can use the wlan for internet via topaz' integrated opera without a problem. But if it comes to adding mail accounts, I am not able to choose wlan as the connection to download / send mails (yes, all access data are correct, it's only that I can't choose wlan as connection). Due to obvious reasons, I don't want to use the regular networks of my phone provider. I just want to use my free wlan at home to send / receive mails. What to do?

Normally when a data connection is request, if pda has the wifi actived it first try to connect with a wlan. if it don't find an active wlan, then it connect by gprs or 3g.
if you want avoid the connection with gprs/3g it is advisable to disactivate it by the program Modaco Nodata.

Got it now, all worked well. But after I entered a complete mail account that worked, I entered a second mail account that I didn't configur till the end. Now it appears in the touchflo 3d, is not deletable and does also NOT appear in the WM Mail structure. It seems it only appears in the TouchFlo, which showed it again after deactivating/ enabling TouchFlo again. SKTools doesn't find it either. Dunno where to fin it apart from the registry, where can I delete it?
