Pocket MSN (MSN Messanger and Hotmail) only works with a direct connection the internet.
Does anybody know how to tweak it such as way (via registry setting etc) so that it can connect via the proxied internet connection.
The regular desktop MSN Messanger has the option in the app setting to allow it to work via a HTTP proxy server.
The reason I'm asking for this is that, some of us here in this forum, use the cheap GPRS service here in the US that only connects us to the internet via a HTTP proxy. We have web browsing and pop3 working, but not the MSN messanger and hotmail.
Thanks in advance for anybody that will provide some clue.

You must use a SOCKS-capable proxy. That is, not just a simple HTTP proxy. Also see http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?s=SOCKS+messenger&sentence=AND - in there, I've also elaborated on this problem.
I understand this. However, the data service we use (T-Mobile USA t-zones) does not support SOCKS. We only have HTTP proxy and WAP proxy support.
Using the same data service from my laptop (with my PPC as the wireless modem), I could run MSN Messanger from my laptop (by using the HTTP proxy).
The Pocket MSN however, does not work. I would believe there is some way to tweak it to recognize the HTTP proxy as well.

My Mobile Provider let subscribers access internet via GPRS with proxy and it seems that only traffic via port 80 gets through.
Is there anyone here know a messenger client that can communicate with server via this proxy port like PC version does?
Your help is appreciated.
Does anyone know of a software that allows you to connect to MSN Messenger using HTTP Proxy? MSN Messenger that comes with the operating system only connects either directly or thru a SOCKS proxy. Agile Messenger doesn't support HTTP Proxy either.
This feature could be useful in firewalled environments and also with subscribers of WAP-only service :wink:
Hi guys,
I want to use my Universal to surf the web at the university using the wifi. The problem is that the network use a proxy server. I found how to change it in the connection so that I can surf with explorer. My problem is that I still can't connect skype or windows live messenger.
Anyone can help me?

Certain carriers, including mine, restricts GPRS and forces us to use a HTTP proxy.
Windows Media Live does not support HTTP proxy, only socks proxy. I already have a SSH tunnel setup on my TyTN, but the tunnel gets disconnected every now and then, making staying connected to MSN unreliable.
I know when I used to have a Symbian60 device, there were some clients that worked through the HTTP proxy of my carrier, but either they were java based (dont want java!) or it doesnt exist for WM6.
I wonder if anyone has a MSN client that they use through the HTTP proxy of their carrier.
Thanks!
My carrier is Cricket (CDMA) and they also force us to use an http proxy.
Were you able to find an MSN Messenger (or AIM) client that will work through an http proxy?
Thanks

Simpel question: How can I connect with two GPRS connections?
- 1st Internet -> WAP Profile
- 2nd MSN -> Internet Profile
This because I have no limit on the WAP profile, and I can watch internet sites with it, but the ports are closed. Internet profile has 25mb, that's enough for MSN.
With the program slick I could get managed to open 2 GPRS connections, but the program won't work with my MSN account. MSN live works fine with the internet profile, but how can I manage that he always use that profile and Internet Explorer use the WAP profile?
I have a HTC P3470 with WM6
A little kick =)
Or searching for a MSN program that supports HTTP Binding

This is your lucky day I think.
I was about to suggest you to use Talkonaut j2me client which supports Jabber HTTP Binding and hence, msn, aim and other protocols, but looking for their download address I noticed they've released a NATIVE version for WM just today.
Going to test right after posting this, enjoy!
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY, gonna test it right away
---edit
The j2me can connect.. the native version can't
