Hey.
I have wanted to use the built in email client of my XDA2i with my wi fi connection. At the moment, no matter what I seem to do, I can't get it to connect (send or recieve in anyway). I have downloaded nPOP and it works ok, however there is a problem.
I want to have wifi connected all the time when I am in my home, and have the check interval at 1 minute (or something liket that) so I can be alerted to emails when they arrive... however, although NPOP does this, the alert is a system event sound, which i always have turned off as I don't like having them activated on my phone.
So I wanna use INBOX in order to download and send email. And this will also allow me to set a tone for my NEW EMAIL MESSAGE and will display when I get one like a text alert when I recieve a new email.
Can anyone clue me in as to how to use INBOX with wifi?
Hope this somewhat round about question makes sense...

Further points...
Sorry, just to throw in. I've been examining the differences between INBOX on my xda2i, and the settings with nPOP and even the INBOX program on my HPC Jornada 720. The only difference is that inbox on my xdadoes NOT have LAN as a connection option, where as n pop does and inbox on my HPC does too.
Is it even POSSIBLE to use inbox on xda2i with wifi/lan connection??

Hey,
I just set up my email account on my XDA II.
Little question about automaticly downloading emails.
On my spv e200 (also an HTC phone) I need to have my mailbox loaded before it download emails. What I mean with this: open the inbox and than go to the email tab (not sms).
Is this the same for the XDA II?
Or can my inbox be set on sms and the emails are still downloaded?
Cheers
when one set up ones mail account one have to choose if it should check mail every X minut and which connection it should use to do this so i asume very much that it'll still do it if you are in sms
Yes I did that
Just asking about the inbox.
Thanks for asking.
well i havent set that option on myself so i cant promise you anything but if it dont i would call it a bug
I have set 2 email account on my XDA2 or 1 (it s the same)
well if i programm my accounts to be checked every X mn i have to let the selector on the email account otherwise it wont connect and pop for my mails.
Of course it pop only the email account selected. so you can consider it is the same.
I can not automatically check for both of my mail accounts.
But if you let the selector on your email accout, you will also be notified for incoming SMS, whereas if you let the selector on the SMS account you will not be notified for any new incoming mail
not really a bug, but will be great from MS to correct thant in the next release

hi,
i bought new magacian, and was really impressed by it.
as i had xda whom i could pop yahoo, and other accounts easily.
but now on magacian i m able to send and receive only text messages
but not able to retrieve any pop accounts like yahoo or gmail
with the same settings....
what shall i do....
plz help.
My Magician picks up pop mail without any problems. Maybe try checking you can really connect to the intertnet by going to google first.
my gprs is working alright and i can browse any site and check my mails from IE.
but not from this...
also my pop settings are correct as i had with my old xda on which it was working fine...
god knows whats the problem.
I had this problem - try receiving your mail whilst connected to your PC (with internet connection) first and then disconnect and try via GPRS - make sure that you do not have any unsent mail in your outbox first (probably wont send via your default ISP on your desktop and hang the connection) - Good luck...
OB.
Check this out.
I sent a test email from a web email account to my exchange server. I had outlook open on my desktop, and my Wizard chillin next to me (in standby mode.) The desktop is connected to the exchange server with gigabit (the pc and server have gigabit and there is a linksys gigabit switch in between.) The email hit the exchange server in about 5 seconds (give or take.) A second or so later my phone beeped at me (the new mail notification) and a second after that outlook popped up the new email notification.
So my conclusion is exchange must send emails to the mobile device first, because obviously EDGE is no faster than gigabit (I wish!) However it is still cool that I get it faster on my phone!
Just another geek making fun observations; Lew
lol.....i did the same thing...
actually i did it from a few differnt accounts to see the speed of each one in comparison...hahah
I'm definitely luv'n this also. Finally we have the BlackBerry Killer. My typical response to my 8125 is about 8 to 10 seconds, slightly faster than my workstation. Keep meaning to turn off caching the OL2003 on my pc's profile ... just to be fair .....
i have not upgraded rom so i just get my ms exchange email via the "pull" method. you know... the sms-pingy thingy where i am set to receive as email is sent. when in my office, i usually get my email on the wizard just before it arrives in my pc inbox. i'm on edge btw
I use the push-mail option also, but the mails (or tasks or agenda items) usually need about a minute to arrive on my Wizard. But sometimes it arrives almost immediately. Since the PDA is set to notify directly, I suspect there must be a setting in Exchange to define an interval something like that, causing the Exchange server to send (accumulated) notifications only once per minute.
I have also noticed this, new mail arrives earlier on the Wizard than in Outlook.
If only the Wizard would notify me when I have new mail in the subfolders...
sure when you connect your device to your computer via usb from AS go to the config of your Mail (settings) and check the boxes (mail folders) you'd like sync'd

I suppose Outlook uses "pull", that's why it's slower. I don't know the interval Outlook is using. "pull" and "push" is to different technics and "pull" is faster in most cases.
IMAP, POP3 - "pull"
SyncML - "push"
Does any of the new Outlook versions offer push mail compatibility?
i'm lost :shock: :shock: :shock:
Going out on a limb here, but I *think* Outlook client (PC not Pocket PC) sits there and waits and Exchange sends it some UDP traffic when there is an update to the mailbox and at that point it refreshs itself.
I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but I do know that if the client is firewalled for incoming traffic from Exchange it won't auto send/receive and has to be manually done.

When using push mail ... the connection between the client and server is always on. When a mail arrives the server is pushing the mail through it's open connection. Correct me if I'm wrong.
The exchange push mail.developers even mentioned this in their blog.
Cached exchange mode does usually take longer, the idea behind it is to take the load off the server. If you're not running cached mode, then you should always see the message first in Outlook as in direct mode it's a direct view onto the mailbox.
I get a outlook pop up in cached mode about 1 second after my phone beeps, it doesn't half make people see how good push mail is!
this is worthwhile reading, if you haven't already

I've been testing the push mail as well. Watching https connections with a netstat viewer on the Exchange server, I noticed that the connection to the device will occasionally drop. The device will reestablish after about a minute or so. I think that is why it sometimes takes longer to get the mail notification on the device. There are heartbeat settings in the device registry. If I have time I might play with those and see what it does to traffic and reconnection times.

I don't know much about this but heres my attempt to help:
push email is using activesync as far as I know... So i think the answer is, youre using both
I have tried two varieties of "push mail", the sms based one (asks you to provide an email address for alerts, the exchange server sends alert-emails to this address and they are converted to sms messages by your gsm provider, and are then sent to your phone. When the phone gets the sms, it connects to gprs unless youre already connected to the internet, and it retrieves the email, (and it doesn't show you the sms message)). This one was expensive (when it worked) and very unreliable (my gsm providers "mailtosms" service is absolutely rubbish)
Then theres the AKU2 push email - the real push email (which requires an active gprs (data) connection. The exchange server uses this connection to tell your phone that you have new email, and activesync then syncs the exchange account. Very similar, but usually cheaper, since gprs traffic costs less than an sms usually. You can start/stop this one by using "comm manager" on your phone.) I just started using this one today with a free mail2web.com account
I tried sending myself a message. Within a minute it beeped in my phone.
I then tried sending myself another message. Within a minute it beeped in my phone again. Since it received two messages in about two minutes, i concluded that the mail was pushed to my phone, and not retrieved at regular intervals (the shortest interval in activesync is 5 mins).

Real simple. Make sure your handset is not hooked up to your PC. Add a calendar item in Outlook on your PC. Within a couple of minutes Activesync will auto-start on your handset, and the new calendar item should arrive.
With SMS alerts, you only get auto-starts on AS when a new email arrives.

Tremendous help, thanks guys!
Hey,
I am trying to access my IOL pop account using Pocket outlook on my Xda2i on WM2003. I can send and recieve using my gmail account fine, but can't even get the IOL to download mail, it get a SERVER TIMEOUT error.
My settings are correct as my pc gets it fine and even nPOP on the xdai downloads and sends fine... can anyone shed any light on WHY pocket outlook refuses to do this task?
Additional confusion, it will WORK when i'm on GPRS, but NOT wifi which I mainly use...
ANY suggestions are welcome!
