Anybody who know how to make IMAP4 working on QTEK PDA. For somereason I can not login to my mailserver. Firewall is opened. Is PDA IMAP using any special ports ?
Mine works
Its not much help, but mine works:
Connection:
via GPRS (O2 UK), or via Wireless Broadband at home (no proxy, but basic firewall with no rules - Netgear)
Mail Server:
GopherKing
It does NOT work on my companys LAN as they have bared all IMAP and POP3 access on the company firewall.
If you do get it working, I would be greatful if you can tell me if your service allows you to delete mail remotly. I have no problems downloading mail, but moving between folders or deleteing mail does not get replicated up to the server
Takk,
Ian
Hola,
after a week of playing and reading the forum i'm stuck.
unlocked O2 XDAII, now using Vodafone. am able to GPRS into Vodafone, have enabled "mylan" as told by 191 vodafone.
Start VPN, it appears to connect, PPTP into company Sonicwall.
However, when i try an Active sync to Exchange server by server name, times out as expected due to incorrect DNS settings (use DNS Suffix), if i use IP address of server VPN connection is dropped and XDA resorts back to GPRS connection to vodafone.
Please help. :-(
cheers,
Kristian
I have exactly the same problem...
Any help?
You can install Pocket Hosts (Google it) on the PPC, and add the IP and Name of your Exchange Server. Activesync will find it then.

Hi all,
my device (iMate Jasjar 1.13.53 WWE on WM5) syncs without problems through my office-pc with the exchange server standing at the office. This is a wired connection, working through ASync 4.1 (USB).
If I disconnect the USB-Cable, hence force the device to sync through another connection, it will try my GPRS-settings. The GPRS-settings work normal for Internet and eMail. After some time of trying I get the error 0x80072EE2 "The server could not be reached. This can be caused by temperary network conditions"
The server is working normal though.
Does anybody have some advice for a newbie (absolute no network specialist). My exchange server administrator is new to this as well. So if I would be able to read into this somewhere, or get some insider tips it would be very helpful and highly appreciated.
with kind regards,
Ruud Westerhout
how do you have the server name entered in the activesync settings?
are you using ssl?
has it ever syncronized w/o having it connected to pc?
does the exchange server have a public IP address?
thanks for fast reply,
as we are a little apart (time-wise) I am at home already and not able to answer all :
my server is at : mail.al????.ru
I was told to sync like :
Server address : mail
This server requires en encrypted (SSL) connection : NO
User name : the one I am allowed with to enter our network
Password : my usual password to enter our network
Domain : al????.ru
Save Password : YES
If there is a conflict : Keep items on my device
Event logging : Brief
With these settings like this, I was able to sync with the exchange server while connected through USB. ASync was getting a special allowence and the Microsoft Firewall Client was disable for it.
It has never been syncing wireless in any way, only USB, in the office.
I presume we have a public IP address, but I should counter ask my administrator about this.
If You have any ideas after reading this data, please shoot ;-)
The answer on IP I will add (or edit) tomorrow.
regards,
Ruud
yeah. it depends. if it is synching through USB, for me it is hard to tell if you are synching directly to the exchange server or to the workstation. if you have a mail profile setup on your machine and you are synching with activesync. on your desktop with activesync does it specifically show that it is synching with your exchange server? actually better yet if you run activesync the screen will tell you the last syncronizations. you will have an "Exchange Server" section and the last time it synched and probably a "Windows PC" section.
If your Exchange Server section has a synchronized time then your settings are correct. (The time should also be the same as your Windows PC time)
If it has something like Never synchronized or something other than a successful synchronization time, then those settings may not be correct or something is not right on the exchange server or network.
So if you do have a successful timestamp for the "Exchange Server" field, then everything on your device is good. The problem may be that either the exchange server does not have a public ip or a dns issue. (you can try to resolve the latter by putting in the IP of the server instead of the dns name in the server field for AS)
If it still doesn't work then it could be a firewall issue in front of where the exchange server sits.
Hi ccisn,
I actually am syncing with 3 different things. My Home-PC, my Office-PC and also the Exchange Server at the office. I get all synced and a correct time stamp with all, this works.
f.e. My contacts are synced with both Home-PC and Exchange Server (not the Office-PC anymore as this is not possible)
So I understand that the settings in my PDA are then correct and I should be searching for the problem in Server, Firewall, IP / DNS Settings.
I will try this idea of putting the IP though (as soon as I will get it tomorrow)
thanks for now,
Ruud
Update :
I inserted the fixed-IP our Exchange Server has into the address field and with this input the server did not even want to sync whilst I have a USB-ASync connection.
Question for my understanding :
Is the following a technical possible setup ?
-At home I connect through USB giving me access to my Home-PC and the internet. The PDA will sync with the home-PC and the exchange server which he will find through the internet.
-At home I connect through WiFi giving me access to the internet. The PDA will sync with the exchange server which he will find through the internet.
-At the office I connect through USB giving me access to my Office-PC and the exchange server. The PDA will sync with the Office-PC and the exchange server which he will find through the office network.
-On the road I connect with a GPRS- (or eventually UMTS-) connection which will give me access to the internet. The PDA will sync only with the exchange server which he will find through the GPRS-connection.
regards,
Ruud
I am sure the problem is, that you cannot sync over the public Adress with the Exchange Server, because there is only Port 25 for SMTP from the internet to the server, and this port is not for Outlook Connection and these things
No company ever had a Exchange all-open on the internet! try to sync within your local network and the internal-name of the server!
Well syncing within the Network works. If I connect with USB to the office-pc I can sync to both office-pc as well as exchange server.
Do I understand correctly that I can forget (not realistic) to sync wirelessly (GPRS, UMTS) while on the road ?
I just hoped that this way I could receive contacts / calender items from my secreatary on the road.

The Exchange Server is open on your local network, thats why you can sync. But from the internet, there ist only mail access (and maybe a few other ports that the admins opened) to the exchange.
Talk to your admins, and ask if it's possible to connect with a VPN to your office. Over these VPN Connection you can sync with your exchange.

Yes to all of the above.
The vpn solution should work too if your environment supports PPTP connections. Most don't and only allow IPSec or L2TP connections which is a whole other mess to get to work on handheld devices.
As to the ports. It a little different for synching with Exchange. It only requires HTTP (80) or HTTPS (443).
If you can use Outlook Web Access then you can sync over the air with your phone. (Assuming that all the Mobile Sync settings are correctly set up on the Exchange server) Which in your case sounds like it is.
Hello,
I want to connect to my Company's VPN and read my e-mails.
My Company uses a Nortel Contivity switch to which I successfully connected with Bluefire Mobile Security VPN v2.7.5, Build 706 (IKE=DES+MD5+DH1; IPsec=3DES+MD5+LZH+PFS; NAT traversal active), using a cellular HSDPA connection. Now comes the bad part: I cannot configure Outlook to use the Exchange server nor the IMAP or POP servers (I tried with Flexmail 4 but with the same results) - it always say that the servers are not accessible. As far as I could figure it out, it seems that after the tunneling is operational, Outlook or any other software still tries to access the internet through the cellular connection (I tried to traceroot some addresses and it ALWAYS goes through the cellular line (not the tunneled connection).
What would be the correct settings in my connection manager so I could access the my Company's Exchange / POP / IMAP servers after I setup the VPN manually with Bluefire?
Thanks a lot!
DO you work for VZ ?? i too would like to connect to my vpn network ... I spoke to our techsupport and advised that wasnt possible ...just for bllackberry ... which i found odd ... i would be interested tofind out how to also

Hi all,
I'm trying to configure the VPN "SecureClient" on my p3600.
I've installed the SecureClient and configured it.
From my phone I can connect to the company VPN. Using the Remote Desktop I can access the computers inside the network, so the VPN seems to work correctly. I've tried with UMTS and Wi-Fi network.
I've configured the Messages application to access the Exchange servers via IMAP4, because I don't have access to the OMA directory to access it via OWA.
Using the network via activesync when I'm in office, everything work correctly and I can download the emails. So no VPN.
The problem is when I try to access the Exchange servers via VPN. Seems that the Messages application doesn't route the traffic trough the VPN application like the Terminal Server.
I'm using WM6.1
Can someone help plz?
Thanks in advance.
