Hi all,
Life without MSN Pocketpc is a pain. I used to be able to get my hotmail emails downloaded directly to my ppc using http://services.msn.com/svcs/hotmail/httpmail.asp
Trying to setup hotmail without msn the my pocket outlook now tries to get me entering the pop or mapi address.
Has anyone got any clue as to getting your emails from your hotmail onto your m3100 without the need for pop/mapi?
Thanks

Hey all.
At home I've my desktop outlook setup to my pop3 email.
Is there anyway to set this account so I can send/ receive to see if there is new mail - or (as I think is the case) do I have to setup a separate pop 3 account to be able to initialize send/receive.
Cheers fellaz!

I was asking the same question on other forums, but it seems that no1 considers this as a "normal" question; I have never got a reply...
When u sync your Universal with your PC, the emails are automatically downloaded into your Outlook E-mail account automatically.
To check your emails on the move, you'll need to set up a new POP3 account with the same settings as per your PC's Outlook....... and when u do a Send/Recieve, it's connected via your GPRS. E-mails downloaded into your Universal will still be downloaded onto your PC when u do a Send/Recieve on your PC's Outlook....That means the same email will appear in both the Outlook E-mail and POP3 accounts on your Universal
Wonder if I'm making any sense......

You do make sense, but… you have just explained to us what we’ve already knew. I would just like to have normal SEND/RECEIVE in pOutlook without having to setup the same thing on the side (my Yahoo pop3). And after that they could synchronize normally…
I hope that I made some sense now…
:?
Yup perfect sense,
the phrase that airbag14 was looking for was:
'no you can't, not to our knowledge'

Or just use exchange

I struggled for quite some time to make email work 'properly' on using my MDA Pro.
First, note that I use Outlook on the desktop. My situation is complicated because I have multiple accounts that I want to sync.
What I found was:
1. Syncing desktop & pocket outlook mail is useless, unless one uses exchange. There is no way to send and receive mail short of syncing with the desktop. And given that activesync 4 cannot sync over the net, means that messages I want to send are stored until I manage to get close to my desktop. Totally stupid design. Someone must have been smoking illegal substances when s/he came up with it.
2. Switching both desktop and PPC to POP sort-of works, but there are severe problems. The first is that a pop account on the PPC is completely separate from the outlook-synced account, so messages appear twice on the PPC. The second is that if either the desktop or the PPC delete messages off server, then the other device gets confused. Copying a message to another folder on the PPC causes the message to be removed from the server, so that it never arrives in the desktop. Read message indications are not reliable. etc etc.
3. Switching to IMAP on both the desktop and the PPC works the best. One ends up with a set of IMAP folders on both the desktop and PPC, separate from the 'normal' outlook inbox (which are no longer used). Operations on either the desktop or PPC are reflected in the other device when mail is checked. Of course, it is absolutely imperative that both devices download messages, not just headers.
So, in the end I have a set of IMAP folders on both devices for each account. Both devices are set up to download messages + headers. The desktop downloads the entire message + attachments. The PPC downloads 15K of the message and no attachments. Deleting a message on one deletes on the other (when mail is checked). Reading a message on one caused the message to be marked 'read' on the other.
Messages sent from the PPC show up in desktop outlook's IMAP sent items folder. The reverse is not true, because desktop outlook puts sent messages into a generic 'sent items' folder, not the IMAP one. This is not a problem for me.
I have turned off activesync for all mail folders, because sync is done using IMAP. I still use activesync for contacts etc.
FWIW, IMAP in desktop outlook has a few problems. The worst is that sometimes it decides to duplicate a message. IMAP is also a bit more sensitive to network glitches, "disconnecting" from the server and requiring outlook to be restarted to reconnect. In addition, as messages are left on the server more-or-less permanently, one might run into quota problems.
mailbox copy
I stumbled on this mailbox problem here again.
I got exactly this issue, as my provider gives me Pop3 (can't get imap to work), and I cant reply on mails when i'm out (outlook mailbox has no send-receive)
Now I figured out, that in case if I COULD do an mail-box copy on my device from outlook-inbox to anonther account inbox, and before syncing do and send-items-box copy back to outlook send-items-box, this would solve a BIG part of my problem.
Has anyone EVER heard of an app that can let you copy whole mailboxes between accounts on your PPC device?
I also posted this question befor but to be sure are you all saying in a round about way.........
i ave a pop email account on my laptop, this i sync with a cable to my Exec, And on my Exec i also have a pop3 account the same account as on my laptop....
so if i am out ( and my laptop is not on) i use the pop3 account on my Exec for sending and recieving mail no problem, BUT if whilst out i see from my Sync,ed email from the laptop befor i left in the morning a email i need to repley i cant, i wish i could read the email then tell it to reply / send via the proper pop account on my Exec not the sync account
Do you all have this problem
Thanks
John
I prolly dont understand the problem fully, because I think it has a simple answer. On your PPC dont sync the mail from outlook through activesync but set up a new (p-outlook) pop3 account with the parameters from the pop3 outlook account (minus the smtp-server offcourse, this should be the smtp of your phone operator). I have this setup and can send/recieve mail on my MDA Pro. When I get home I recieve all mail from that day on my pc, storing it on my pc. At the next send/recieve on my MDA Pro, all the mail collected by the pc will dissapear (on the MDA Pro) and new mail will arrive. If you want you can sync the outlook mail with your PPC but it will function as a old-mail-database next to your p-outlook pop3 account.
what I did was:
1. I Created a new mail account - POP3 - and configured it to be read just in O2 exec.
2. I configured my mail account to forward all mail to the mail account I created for the PDA, and also keep messages in my mail account, so I can read them in my PC as well.
3. I dont SYNC mails, just check them by using WIFI/GPRS/3G.
This is not very "polite" but works for me. anohter solution, IMAP, another, REAL MAIL from Vodafone.
Hi,
something I'm a little confused about, I've done a sync with Outlook & it has created all the folders on my MDA Vario II. I've created an email account to get my mail that outlook gets for when I'm away from the machine. This has setup a new folder with the name of the account.
What happens when I download emails, does it copy them from my domain server & put them in the Pop3 account folder on the PDA? Then I guess at home l download & sync them to the outlook folders on my home PC back to the PDA or something else?
Is it possible to setup my email account for the Outlook folder or is that structure just for sync purposes? I guess the rules woldnt work (I have 30 folders or so). Any help greatly appreciated!
Cheers,
Ronski
I´m also searching for help
I´ve got the same problem: I want to synchronize my pop3-Folders on MDA with my Outlook at Desktop. But I don´t know how?
Using IMAP
Now I´m using IMAP, so the emails will stay on the server and I can get them at Home with outlook POP3.
I can not get my Outlook Email to sync or operate at all. I don't know how to attach my hotmail account to this. Can anyone help? I was unable to find any solutions in this forum.
I'm very new to pc phones & data access (have had my AT&T wireless data and 8525 less than 2 wks.) and I recall having to do a little poking around to attach my hotmail account. But, what I did to get things working initially was to go to http://mobile.msn.com, enter my username/email address and password, and then hit the 'Hotmail' link whilst signed in to see my hotmail email.
Thanks Jefson, but on the device under Messaging, you can view Text, MMS, and Outlook Email accounts. This is the method I want to view my emails because it provides a little more options in sending and receiving emails rather than going to the mobile MSN account through the IE browser on the phone. Thanks though
I should add more information on my phone. I have a Tytn phone and I just recently upgraded to the Dopod version of WM 6. It's great so far, but just the Outlook Email is giving me problems. I was able to sync this with ActiveSync and my hotmail account on WM 5..???
outlook - contacts sync
I have the same problem. Using active sync I can sync everything apart form my contacts - (Im guessing this is because contacts are sync'd through outlook which is also not working). I took my HERMES to the orange shop where I baught it and they said to download a newer version of active sync. Although I cannot find active-sync for download anywhere.
Do you sync to a company server or is it only to your local PC?
hot mail
if you install msn it will ask you if you want to associate your mail account also
click yes
hey presto
off you go
rwcozens - I sync to a local PC, my own laptop
blowfeld - Is MSN avaliable to download to non USA users? Where do I get it from?
thanks
scot
Here you go.
msn
its actualy the windows live that comes with the schaps 54b rom
initialising that will set up the contacts and email for hotmail
it works in uk
mobile messenger / mobile msn live ??
I have not found a place to download windows live or messenger that will allow me to transfer my contacts from my HERMES to messenger/hotmail. Can someone post a link to the appropriate download?
thanks
Scot

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!

Is there a way to use outlook for recieving mails from hotmail?
pop3 access
you will need pop3 enabled in your email account and the configure it with pda.
pop3 access is paid with hotmail. Gmail offers free pop access.
are we talking for your phone or your PC?
If it's for your PC then ajipta is right and you have to pay for hotmail plus.
If this is for your phone just sign into windows live. It works just the same as outlook and is free!!!
There is a way of configuring hotmail to be read from within Outlook on the HD.
Something about configuring Live when you set it up to sync with Outlook. Works a treat for me. Haven't tried sending but I only download my hotmail, I use other accounts to send.
Regards
Use "Microsoft Office Outlook Connector" (google it)
Install this and you'll have all your hotmail emails in Outlook.
Then use Windows Live on your HD to setup your Hotmail account as a push email service.
Your emails on your phone and pc are kept in sync !!
Works Great + It's FREE !!
There's a second solution for the PC that doesn't need Outlook at all. Get Windows Live Mail (free) and ....voila....you have a spiced up version of Outlook Express with almost full Outlook functionality and it works with Hotmail and all other POP3 or IMAP providers. I use it to manage 6 accounts and I'm very happy with it
On the phone. Just sing in to Windows Live and you will get Hotmail in messaging. Check "As Items Arrive" in the sync options and you have push mail You don't need to have Windows Live on the phone running all the time. Once configured Hotmail works on it's own.
Hiya,
I dont see any option on logging onto windows live , to check on arrival..
Where is it please.
