Hello,
i am looking for an application or maybe a Dev about an application which can allow me to send sms from my company network using outlook.
the destination email address will be an internal one, an agent will receive the email and maybe it can recognize the destination phone number in the object email and this agent can use a GSM modem to send it.
Outlook is just a question but if i can have a little client on my PC whic can connect using IP to an SMS gateway with a GSM modem
Sorry for my poor english.
Thank you for your help

I have configured my XDA2 to receive emails using IMAP4 via GPRS, but when I go to send a new email, it doesn't recognise the person's name (it might be an internal user on our corporate LAN).
It says it's looking for an LDAP server to verify the recipient's name.....but we don't have one.
How do you guys send emails? Is it easy to setup an LDAP server accessible via the net?
I didndt change any settings and have went over the settings over and over and they are all the same. One of my email adresses wont send out (but can receive ) emails. When I hit the send/receive button it sais
"Messages cannot be downloaded to your mobile device. Make sure you are connected to the internet and that your email accnt settings are corrent. Then try to download messages again"
I even tried to delete the account and then recreate it by doing the setup again.....this is the only account that wont send emails.... it's a IMAP aol account...please help

Are you connected via WiFi to your own internet gateway at home, or are you connected via GPRS?
via GPRS/EDGE
Try an alternative smtp server for your outgoing mail and see if that makes a difference.
does anyone know any alternative smtp server for aol? Im currently using smtp.aol.com thanks in advance
anyone? please help...cant send emails for a week now.
bump..i've seen a few people lost on howard forums that this has been an issue with aol smtp servers...can anyone confirm this?
i'm having the same problem with sending emails
I'm having the same problem - In fact, I have the same problem when using WiFi on my home network, while my home computer using Outlook (with the same settings) running on the SAME WiFi network connects to AOL's SMTP just fine.
I'm stumped.
I can connect my device to the in-house Wlan and I get assigned an IP address like it should. I am able to browse the net (IE) using the Wlan and I can even go to the HTTP webmail site but when I set up a POP3 e-mail account I get the error message that I cannot connect with the current settings. Suggestions?
The other strange thing is that I am able to login on a local server using Terminal Services, but I can only connect to the IP address, not the hostname.
Perhaps I should mention that I have an own domain so the mailbox I'm trying to connect is a completely seperate mailbox and should work 'native' with POP3 port 25 settings. This shouldn't be a problem as far as I can see, but it still doesn't work...
I did some more testing, the weird thing is that I can send e-mails using the WLAN connection, but cannot receive them. The connection towards the server seems to be good (I didn't use seperate settings for SMTP) so DNS seems to be correct as well.
Right, I'm not under the impression a terribly large population of users are dying just to solve my problem, but since I located the source of the problem I thought I'd post it here for other users to find.
The problem I was faced with had actually nothing to do with the WiFi at all, it was the POP3 server that was the problem. The connection was fine, sending the mails was fine it's just that the POP3 daemon of the Direct Admin hosting control panel (vmpop3d-e) is unable to work with Windows Mobile 5 due to some kind of problem I don't even begin to understand (nor would I want to).
If you have your own domain and your hoster is running the Direct Admin control panel you won't be able to use the e-mail POP3 function. Instead, use the IMAP4 function which does work.
DA Forum PDA topic
when you set up your mailbox (menu - tools - options) go to the 3rd screen and click options. There you tell it what connection you want. I'd be willing to bet thats where your problem is.
E-mail client doesnt work on my wizard eather. I can receive mail, but sending it is impossibl. I think I tried everything.
If anyone have any suggestions what can I do please tell me.

@primossz, you're pretty active on this forum :wink:
You need to first install the client software provided by your're ISP. So if you use T-mobile you can let T-mobile send the parameters via SMS to yor're cellphone. Just login to your're ISP provider for that on the WWW.

I recently got this email from att yahoo:
Dear AT&T Yahoo! Member,
We're making some security improvements to your AT&T Yahoo! service. These changes will affect members who send or receive email from a desktop or mobile client program, such as Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Outlook Express, Eudora, Apple Mail, or Thunderbird.
To help us ensure the security of your email, you will need to change the settings on your desktop or mobile email client program.
you may take the following steps to change the settings on your desktop or mobile email client program:
Open your email client program.
Locate the email account settings for your particular client.
Change the POP server to pop.att.yahoo.com.
Change the SMTP server to smtp.att.yahoo.com.
Check the option labeled Use an encrypted connection (SSL) and change the SMTP port to 465.
Check the option labeled Use an encrypted connection (SSL) and change the POP3 port to 995.
Confirm the above settings then click OK.
I already tried my first comandment "Thou shalt not ask before search!" but alas I can't seem to find how to change ports on e-mail set up. I'm running wm6 but I don't know if wm5 had this abbilty as I didn't need it then. Any help would be great!
So, mabey I should have posted under wm6 & titled the post photon question. At the very least somebody would reply to flame me or something. lol
I had the same problem. Turned out to be the operator. They do not offer full Internet services, only WAP and unencrypted e-mail (i.e. no SSL). The problem sorted itself out after switching to another operator . . .
Add a colon then (port #, no spaces) after each in/Out server. That is how I have it set up with my 8525/ wm5
Thanks, I'll give that a shot. If not I guess I can open a hot mail account and forward email till att fixes the auto set up in August (per the "help" desk)
I just got a HTC Hero two days ago from T-Mobile (in the Netherlands). But no matter what I try, I can't get the thing to send email. It took me a while to figure out why: either the phone or the network is blocking traffic over port 25.
This is how I tested it:
I wrote a small program that simply listens to a specific port. It would display whenever a remote host connects to the port and it would also display anything the remote is sending. I had the program listen to port 25 and setup another HTC (a Touch) to use my computer's IP address as outgoing (SMTP) mail server. Whenever I tried to send mail from the HTC Touch, the program would show a remote host was trying to connect to port 25. I could change the outgoing port to whatever I wanted and it would show in the program.
Not with the Hero. No connection attempt was displayed when the HTC Hero was set to connect to port 25 on my computer. If I set it to anything else, it would display. So the only conclusion can be that either the Hero blocks port 25, or the network.
Anyone else experience this problem? And is there a way to correct this?
Did a few more test and found out that if I connect through WiFi to the internet through my router, I am able to send mail. Disconnect from WiFi and connect through GPRS/HSDPA and I can't send email. So port 25 is blocked by the network...
having a problem with emails as well.
phone sends emails out but they dont arrive.
when contacting my service provider ("Tele2" in Estonia) they told me that network software "spam assassin" categorize my phone as spammer. so no emails from my phone through their smtp server is allowed...
At the moment only solution is to use alternative smtp provider.
I tried with gmail smtp and managed to send mails out. this is some kind of temporary solution but not final... I would still really want to know what causes this problem, as gmail changes "from" address to gmail account address and I want to use my default address.
What email server are you using? I had to change the standard setting to send out mail by hotmail UK
Right, this is a problem related to SMTP server configuration in general. Since SMTP is not typically authenticated, most ISPs (landline or wireless) won't let you send outgoing email through their servers if you are not connected directly to their network. Some also block any outgoing port 25. For example, if you normally use your DSL providers e-mail servers for POP/IMAP and SMTP and you go to your friends house who uses a different ISP, you'll be able to configure his e-mail client to retrieve your POP/IMAP but not send via you ISP SMTP. In that case you would have to send using his ISP SMTP server. This is typically done for spam prevention. Otherwise, anyone anywhere in the world could just send junk email using any ISP SMTP server as the start point.
For your situation, I think you are trying to use your ISP's SMTP server while connected to the mobile network. For the reasons above, it typically won't work. It works from your Wifi because you are then connected to the ISP network. There are a couple of solutions:
1) Set the outgoing SMTP server to the one provided by your mobile operator. No matter where you go in the world, you will send email through the mobile operator SMTP server which will be fine. The only problem is, depending on how you have everything set up, the emails won't show up in your "sent" items on your normal email.
2) Use Gmail, and maybe others. Google use authenticated SMTP that requires a username and password. Therefore, they allow you send through their SMTP servers from anywhere. Ohh, and it does not use port 25.
Hope that helps.
Just a shot in the dark here - do you have the handcent application (sms app) installed? When I installed this app I got exactly the same problem. Stopped my email going out. Removed handcent and all was ok again.

First note that this is not a problem with Android or HTC Hero.
The problem is that many broadband providers have their servers for outbound email set up to allow clients to connect without authentication from addresses in their own network. Word-wide open access to mail forwarding OTOH is a big no-no and would soon lead to the servers being blocked by other network operators. A client that normally connects over broadband will thus get access denied when it is trying over 3G or GPRS as the phone then appear to your broadband-provider as being connected to an "unknown" network.
There are several solutions:
1. Use a provider for mail that is independent from the one providing connectivity. Such providers offer many ways in which authorised users can send and receive their email. You've got a wide selection of free providers such as gmail and hotmail, as well as paid services from places like imap4all.com and fastmail.fm. This also gives you the flexibility of being able to change bandwith/connectivity suppliers as often as you like without having to change your email-address.
2. Check with your broadband-provider if they provide authenticated global access to their SMTP-servers, and if so what ports/protocols they support. Any half-decent provider will have such alternatives available. Encryption is strongly recommended for the email-setup (both send and receive) and the Hero support SMTP over TLS or SSL for mail delivery, the port can also be configured (to match a non-std setup if required by the server). With a decent provider it will probably be enough to enable TLS (or SSL) for the SMTP connection and configure a username and password, so you might want to try that first.
There's a little more to this; it indeed is largely T-mobile's fault. I want to connect to my own (authenticated and using TLS, so not an open relay!) SMTP server and it failed to connect consistently. I then tried to telnet the SMTP server and found the request being intercepted by a host called 'filter2-tmobile.zx.nl'. Ridiculous.
Strange thing: same SIM-card, same phone number, same everything, but using a HTC TyTN II/Kaiser: no problem whatsoever. So it's definitely partially HTC Hero's/G2 Touch's 'feature' as well.
I'm calling them tomorrow to find out more.

Sounds like your provider using outbound filters. That's also fairly common for port 25. Have you tried with SSL, which by default use port 465. That is usually combined with authentication so it is not so common to filter port 465.
I forgot an important detail in my previous post. Using anything over port 25 for outbound email is generally nothing but trouble. Always use SSMTP (port 465) instead of plain SMTP over port 25 if possible.
Email-providers such as fastmail.fm and imap4all.com provide SNMP-services on a number of nonstandard ports to get around these provider filters. Some even put proxies in front of their SMTP-servers that enable connection through any port. When combined with SSL that makes it virtually impossible for other providers to filter.
T-Mobile (my mobile provider) is blocking anything over port 25. I've tried their own SMTP server (smtp.gprs.t-mobile.nl) and like I said, I wrote an application myself that listens to traffic over port 25. Not even a connection request arrived.
I solved my problem by setting up my own mailserver to also accept incoming connections over port 587 while forcing authentication and TLS.
But it's pretty stupid that T-Mobile sold me this phone (including a mobile internet subscription) while not even allowing me to send emails over the default port and their own mailserver.
I have had the same problem, i have an ntlworld email account, which does not let you use their smtp server unless connected to their network. So to get round this i have used gmails smtp server on the hero, its the only way it lets me send mail.
Have you tried authenticating and using port 26? I do this on T-Mobile NL, however I use the SMTP sevrer of my own domain e-mail account (hosted).
