SBS2003 server can't get mail

I have an xda2 and was always able to collect my email from our Windows SBS2000 exchange server using VPN. Now we have upgraded to Windows SBS server 2003 we cannot get mail.
We are able to log onto the VPN.
We can even use the terminal services and see the server screen, but we cannot download mail.
If we try to get mail we get the following message:-
"Messages cannot be downloaded to your mobile device. Make sure you are connected and your e-mail account settings are correct . Then, try to download messages again"
The email settings we are using are the same as those that worked with SBS2000 server.
Can anyone help please
Thanks
Sam

From what you wrote I have gotten this...
1. Using VPN to connect to work network.
2. You can access resources on work network, proving the VPN is working.
Now, how are you connecting to get your mail? POP, Exchange Mobile???
I am going to assume you have a reason for not just using Exchange Mobile via Internet, such as don't want external access to Exchange box etc. etc.

sbs2003 mail access
I am using pop3 to access.
This was the way I accessed with SBS2000 with no problems.
The settings of my XDA2 are:
email address: [email protected]
user name: [email protected]l
password: mypassword
account type: pop3
incoming mail: servername
outgoing mail: servername
When I ask it to get mail GPRS is loaded and then VPN is loaded
then I get "connecting" then after a period I get the above error message.
If I leave the email prog and go to Terminal Service I connect and see my login and I can log in.

pop3 isnt enabled by default in sbs 2003, check settings in exchange admin and in services to make sure youve got the pop3 service running

sbs2003 mail access
Thanks for your help. Pop3 was not started, and WILL NOT START I do not know why. It says look in the Event viwer but no errors appear there.
I have started Imap and that has worked and I am receiving my mail. Thanks for your help.

PS in your first email you refer to Exchange mobile via the internet.
Isv this a big deal to setup and what are the advantages.
Again thanks for your help. If you are busy please do not bother to answer the PS. I am gewtting my mail so all is ok
Thanks again
Sam

I had it working pretty much straight away, OMA is another thing. Ultimately, we moved on from Exchange Mobile as it didn't offer real-time push capability (unless using SMS).
We now use Pylon Anywhere and couldn't be happier. Not only does it do everything you want, it only costs $654 US for five users. It works with Pocket PC, Palm and Symbian (amongst others) based devices.

All of the sudden cant send out emails from 1 of the 3 email

I didndt change any settings and have went over the settings over and over and they are all the same. One of my email adresses wont send out (but can receive ) emails. When I hit the send/receive button it sais
"Messages cannot be downloaded to your mobile device. Make sure you are connected to the internet and that your email accnt settings are corrent. Then try to download messages again"
I even tried to delete the account and then recreate it by doing the setup again.....this is the only account that wont send emails.... it's a IMAP aol account...please help

Are you connected via WiFi to your own internet gateway at home, or are you connected via GPRS?

via GPRS/EDGE

Try an alternative smtp server for your outgoing mail and see if that makes a difference.

does anyone know any alternative smtp server for aol? Im currently using smtp.aol.com thanks in advance

anyone? please help...cant send emails for a week now.

bump..i've seen a few people lost on howard forums that this has been an issue with aol smtp servers...can anyone confirm this?

i'm having the same problem with sending emails

I'm having the same problem - In fact, I have the same problem when using WiFi on my home network, while my home computer using Outlook (with the same settings) running on the SAME WiFi network connects to AOL's SMTP just fine.
I'm stumped.

Yes, as POP3 is a standard TCP/IP protocol as is HTTP, you can access it via Wi-Fi. That is, if you have a working POP3 mailbox already configured on your PDA, it should work over Wi-Fi connections too.
Note that SMTP (outgoing mail) is a bit different question. If you plan to send mails too (not just receive them), you may end up having to use SMTP authentication.

OK! im glad that I can do that!!! Could you give me some information on the settings that I need to use so I can get it to work??
Thanks!

3rd Party SMTP over Orange GPRS

Hi All,
I wonder if anyone can help. I've done a few searches.
We run our own SMTP server and use authentication. Our Company Orange M600's can send and recieve email using WIFI no problem.
Recently (this year) sending email via Orange GPRS has stopped working. SMTP via WIFI still works and we are still using our SMTP server and authentication.
I have tried using smtp.orange.net but this still gives the same error. I'd prefer to continue using our own SMTP server.
Any help appreciated

SMTP - is it just me?

hi
i have a touch hd on the three network. on this connection i can send and receive emails but i MUST use the three SMTP setting or I cannot send emails.
unfortunately when I'm at home on WIFI (tiscali) i have to use the tiscali SMTP or cannot send emails.
is there a way to fix this so that i do not have to keep changing the SMTP settings depending on which connection i am using?
i presume both Three and Tiscali require users to use their own SMTP servers whilst using their facilities. Is this not a bit daft on a MOBILE device?
cheers

SMTP care not if you're connecting from a mobile device or not, it's just a protocol.
SMTP servers are usually restricted by connecting IP address, generally to CIDR blocks owned by the provider of the SMTP service. This is done to prevent the server being an "open relay" and therefore being used by spammers to send out **** loads of junk email.
You might be able to find an email provider that uses TLS/SSL authentication in which case they *MAY* allow access from anywhere.
Presumably the 3 and tiscali email addresses are different so you'd just have the two accounts set up on the phone anyway? I don't really use outlook on my HD so I'm not sure I totally understand your problem.

I'm using smtp servers from www.gmx.com and www.gmail.com, both with excelent imap support.
With these smtp servers, you can send mail regardless of what connection you have.
Both are excelent mail providers with pop collectors.
You can also forward your mail to these accounts.
