I've setup POP3 but have no idea how to setup hotmail. Is this possible? When I've tried it's asked for Outgoing mail info and incoming mail info - but thats for pop3 right?
Has anyone done this before?
You have to install a program called HTTP Mail Provider.
In settings, enter hotmail (or msn if your address is @msn) for both incoming and outgoing mail.
Please tell me more about setting up hotmail in XDA - I have found the software and downloaded it to my laptop, however the 6x files are unreconised by my laptop, theres no setup.exe for example? Can you give me some more info please?
Thanks
HTTPMail Provider

Pocket MSN looks great but it could be pricey.
I have istalled the "HTTPMail Provider 1.0", however I keep getting this error when trying to connect..
Inbox

Error Source: Connection Manager
Status: Connecting
I then click OK and find that I need to try again. When I do log in again, Pocket PC just shows me that I'm loggin on and when I go to disconnect as it takes forever, my inbox crashes!!! I then close my inbox and open it again, and after quite a few minutes of waiting I get this error...
Inbox
The operation timed out

I don't know if this is a problem but I have not setup my HTTP access, only POP3 and MSN messenger. Can anyone help please?
Can't send mail
Even if I mention hotmail in outgoing server, it still doesn't send mail successfully. It's kinda wierd but my GPRS service provider do not have any SMTP server fot users. I get the following error when sending mail though HttpMail... "One or more arguments are invalid (80070057), Error Source: MAPI, Status: Sending outgoing messages". Please anybody help...
First connect to GPRS using your Pocket PC internet connection
then open inbox and start send and receive
OK I managed to fix the problem - I changed my connection from Work to Internet. however, I have another querry for those who know about this. I have set my hotmail account options to automatically connect and check email every 15 minutes but it says this...
Note that connecting automatically may result in higher connection charges.
Now I understand that my connection is through GPRS which I've been told you only pay for downloading data and do not pay for connection or time spent connected. Can anyone please confirm this is true because I don't want a huge bill at the end of the month!
Thanks again
Paul.
Well, we are discussing another problem, here.
I don't know about O2, but, usually, GPRS is sold by packages of total amount of download (40MB, 80MB, ...) per month, and not according to time use.
So, if you have a GPRS subscription, time does not count. Actually, you can keep your phone always connected.
When you add a new modem connection (using Start/Settings/Connections), in the modem selection, do you have a Cellular line (GPRS) available ?
ps: When you say you receive e-mail headers, is it by e-mail or by SMS ?
I recieve my emails by GPRS
Regarding email header this is just a cropped email limiting the download to about 2K. My network O2 allows me to download up to 100K free, after that they charge per Mb of data or I can buy discounted packages to save money. I just want to make sure theres no connection charge for always staying connected and retrieving my email every 15 minutes!
Yes I have Cellular line (GPRS) available.
It doesn't matter if you connect every hour or 15 minutes or stay connected all the time. What makes the difference is the amount of kb you are downloading each time you send and receive e-mail. Probably, whether you are receiving usual pop3 or HTTP, they are all part of the 100k package or whatever. So if you limit your messages to headers only, you would be saving a lot. But even if you exceed your package limit, it must not be expensive. In my country, the cost is 1$ per 1 MB.
Hi! I'd like to know the outgoing server settings (SMTP) of Smart Communications. I have no problem receiving mails from my office POP using GPRS but I can't send mails. I already tried configuring exmail.smart.com.ph and smtp1.smart.com.ph to no avail.
Thank you very much for the help!
I just found out some of the phone running Symbian OS or other OS that have a feature allow user setting GPRS as preferred connection for send and receive of SMS message or switch between GSM and GPRS. Does any1 know if there software/application that let me setting GPRS as default of send and receive for SMS message? Pleaseeee.... let me know. Thank you! Have a great day.
Hi,
I have an XDA orbit using Windows mobile 6. There is an option in settings to send SMS over GPRS.
When I set the SMS to send over GPRS the message fails to send. Has anyone got this option working with o2?
Many thanks!
Chappers
i think the operator have to support it
and if they charge by sms they will loose
alot of money if people can get around that
charge and only pay for the few bytes it cost
with gprs
Fring on Symbian support SMS-Over-GPRS feature.
I can't get my mms settings directly from o2 UK as they say the xperia is unsupported on PAYG.
Is there a cab which will auto configure it for me? I managed to find settings for GPRS and MMS and set them up but GPRS works and mms will send data.
But i cannot recieve mms messages or use WLM and outlook mobile. As the use mms data.
Halp.
