Hello,
I'm having a stupid issue with the Messaging application. My mailserver is an IMAP server, but the root folder for emails is "~/mail/". The application however doesn't allow my to set the server mail folder. Is there a registry entry for this?
Currently, it hangs on the send/receive action...
For a different mail server (where the mailroot has the default value), the messaging client works ok (with VPN, etc.).
edit: I can circumvent the folder issue as the server still supports POP3, but I would like IMAP to access additional folders...
I tried using QMail, but ran into a lot of issues, causing me to give up on it. The last issue is that it downloads the mail headers, but never the mail bodies (if I choose a mail, it just ignores my choice and refreshes the folder). It also doesn't keep the VPN connection (which I need when I connect to the server over WIFI) alive; after one minute the VPN connection is closed and QMail says it lost connection (actually, it says nothing, it just doesn't do anything anymore).
Thanks!

I run an SMTP mailserver at home through which I can send my emails from whichever network I'm connected to (home ISP, office ISP, mobile GPRS, WiFi hotspot etc.). Naturally it's a secure SMTP server with simple username/password authentication.
On my XDA2 I used a little freeware email client called nPOPw which worked really well (fast, reliable, simple) to send/receive emails but I'm experimenting with PocketOutlook since it's easier to use with the Exec's keyboard and I thought that maybe things had improved in WM5.
But I can't get PocketOutlook to work with my mail server. It receives mail OK (from the same server with the same auth details) but it won't send through the server. I just keep getting prompted for SMTP auth username/password/domain info. Can anyone suggest a reason and solution? Thanks in advance.
nPOPw can send/receive over my WiFi network with no problems, so it's not a network connectivity or a DNS problem. My mailserver is Kerio on a Win2K box with a fully qualified host name. Everything works. Except POutlook.
Hi,
This is driving me nuts.
I have installed qmail (q3u) and cannot get it to send mail.
I have the smtp server as smtp.t-email.co.uk which works fine with pocket outlook. The only difference I can see is that within pocket outlook it is set to authenticate with the outgoing username and password left blank.
qmail will not leave authenticate selected if the username and password are blank.
can anyone help?
thanks
I am using Qmail and cannot get my free Hotmail accounts to work. My other accounts do work. However, it may take me 2 - 4 times to try to log in before they connect. Hotmail will not connect. Any suggestions?
Sorry I cannot help you with your problem.

Hotmail, as has been pointed out in some of my mailer-related articles (for example the IMAP Bible at http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=1247&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1 ), doesn't have POP3 access in its free version. You need to either subscribe to Hotmail Plus or use the built-in Messaging Hotmail account (which does have access to your mailbox - but no other mailer client on your PDA) coming with your Wizard.
well i've managed to fix my problem now. I needed to put the t-mobile smtp server address within the local host section on the smtp tab.
the only thing i can suggest for your problem is to check that the dial up option in qmail is set to the same gprs connection that you usually use.
Everything was working fine on my Mogul with two e-mail accounts using Outlook. All of the sudden, my Outlook can not send any e-mails on either account when using WiFi. I can send using 1X phone line.
I tried setting up my Yahoo account again, to no avail. Any ideas? With my Moto Q, I had to set up Yahoo again as a POP3 account, instead of the automatic account setup, which used IMAP. Is the same thing happening here?
Frustrating!

look for a program called NODATA or NOGPRS here on XDA. Use it to disable the GPRS function on your phone temporarily and then attempt to send it with only the wifi. If it works let me know and i'll talk you through a permanent fix.
Are you able to surf the net using the WiFi (when the evdo connection has been closed via comm manager)?
If you're online with WiFi, but can't send email (yet you can receive), I'm guessing that the WiFi's internet connection may be the culprit...
You see, many ISPs have outgoing mail filters in place so that viruses and the like can't send out spam from multiple computers.
For example, my provider is optimum online, and they only allow outgoing mail traffic on port 25 (the standard pop3 outgoing port) if it is going to mail.optonline.com.
All you have to do then, is change your outgoing mail server to optonline, and you're all set (note this doesn't change your email address... all outgoing mail servers are the same, you can use whichever you want and it won't have any effect on your name or anything). Every optonline user in my area knows about this by now.
Problem is, then you can't send email from EVDO because optonline isn't accessible from there.
I chose to only send and receive email from the EVDO connection (you can set this somewhere, although I don't remember where), so even when using Wifi, outlook is using the cellular connection.
Alternatively, you can use an exchange server which won't have this problem (since it doesn't send outgoing mail directly, but rather syncs with a server which then sends your mail).

This would be an option I would use. Anyone know if the setting is in E-Mail Acct. setup, and would you have to change it to POP3 because IMAP setup is automatic?
Thanks

you need to setup the outgoing mail for port 25 is filtered of the isp that wifi is using: such as mail.optonline.net for optonline
Firstly, i have used search etc and haven't found anything, so apologies if its been asked before.
I've got email set up on my phone, downloaded fine (i think), i've got it to leave a copy on the server. so when i use my email client (thunderbird) on my pc i can download the message for those records.
Is it normal for the message to disappear from the phone once the email client downloads it?.
Is there anyway that i can download the message on my phone, and on the email client, so i effectively have duplicates.
The email client is set to remove the message from the server once downloaded.
yes, this is normal with POP email.
Just set the email client on your desktop to leave mail on the server also.
Thanks Jonno, done!
Or use IMAP4 protocol if your mail provider have it

Hello,
I have an HTC Ozone. Purchased about 2 months ago. I have been unable to send email through a company mail server since I have got the phone. I can log on and download my messages with no problem. When attempting to send mail I connect to the server but my phone sends no authentication information and I get a message bounced back saying no relay access allowed. I have tried the microsoft fix but my phone would not install it. I am currently using the most current 3VO 6.5 rom, I have also tried the official rom. With all three roms I have been unable to send mail. I have also tried multiple email clients.
I have tried to send mail through our server over wifi with outlook mobile and profimail. Same resault error 504 relay acces denied. I know for a fact our server supports relay access with authentication, I have no problems sending mail with my laptop using my verizion air card.
As i noted earlier I have had this problem from day 1 with stock 6.1 rom, with the official 6.5 rom and with the 3VO rom.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Ok more testing. Tried same account information with my wife's phone same resault. I was thinking verizon was blocking port 25, cause I have tried other outgoing servers. Our IT guy says logs show phone connecting but not sending the login information. This baffles me. As anyone with an ozone had these problems. I have searched all over everything I find says use an alternate smtp server but this doesn't work either. This phone is really making me angry.
Of course, you are using your phone operator SMTP ?
Do you have the same probleme with GMAIL and IMAP protocol ?

What do you mean? I'm sure I have a T-Mob mail account, but I don't use it. I use my Internet provider's SMTP email. I cannot get my folders on my phone, "deletes" don't get sent from my phone, and every once in a while I cannot send email.
Not all pop server work well with pocket outlook. For instance, I cannot get my gmail mails synced correctly using the pop protocole, I need to activate IMAP (that may solve your sent mail issue).
As far as other accounts go, in order to be able to send mails, I need to use my mobile operator SMTP (and username / login), i.e smtp.orange.fr. (still keeping my e-mail provider's pop account, though).
Is you problem permanent (you never manage to send any e-mail) or odd (sometimes it will, sometimes it won't) ?

The sending problem is intermittent, but the folders issue and the deletes issue are permanent. Plus, if I read and/or delete an email from my phone and do not read it on my email server it gets re-sent to my phone as unread mail.
Btw, the incoming server is a POP server, the outgoing server is SMTP.
All right. Although I do not have a precise idea of what your problem is, I would suggest the following:
- Call you provider (T-mobile if I understood well) and ask them what is their smtp server address, and what is your login / password, and try to use this config to send mail.
- Try to switch one of you webmail from pop to imap and to sync your mails using the imap protocol.
Another solution would be transfering all you mails to a live mail account, as these of course are well integrated in WinMo.
