Greetings all, new user here with a TyTN issue.
I have a TyTN I am having trouble to send/receive POP3 mail while connected to Wi-Fi network with proxy server. I have searched web for solution but did not find anything specific, I hope someone can point me to the right direction here.
This issue only happens when I am connected to my work network. With my current setting I can browse web with IE but not send/receive POP3 mail. I receive following error message "Messages can not be downloaded to your mobile device. Make sure you are connected and that your e-mail account settings are correct. Then, try to download messages again.".
My wireless network configuration are
all default except "Connects to:", which is set to Work instead of The Internet.
My proxy settings are
"This network connects to the Internet" - checked
"This network uses a proxy server to connect to the Internet" - checked
Under Advanced, HTTP proxy's port changed to 8080, Socks proxy port changed to 8080 with sock 5 selected, WAP and Secure WAP were left blank.
My IEEE 802.11b/g Compatible Wi-Fi Adapter settings are
"Use server-assigned IP address"
I have tested my TyTN in free Wi-Fi lounges where proxy isn't needed, I didn't have any problem send/receive e-mail. I have also tested send/receive e-mail via GPRS, that worked fine too. Discussing this issue with our IT department, they suggested to change setting under IEEE 802.11b/g Compatible Wi-Fi adapter to "Use specific IP address" and uncheck use proxy server setting under Network setup. I was able to send/receive e-mail when applying the above 2 changes to bypass proxy server. My question now is can I setup mail to work with proxy server instead of change network settings to bypass proxy server? Any help'd be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Hi guys,
Well I have searched everywhere and found nothing.
Well my college has wifi but it uses a proxy to access the internet.
So in Internet explorer on my desktop/laptop there is a direct option in the lan settings to specify a proxy ip and prot.
how do i do the same for my xda2s running 5.0.
thanks
Hello,
The way to go about doing this is to set up a proxy server under Start> Setings>Connections>Connections. Under My Work Network, select "Set Up My Proxy Server" and check the boxes for "This Network connects to the internet" and "this network uses a proxy server to connect to the internet". Click on the "advanced" setting which should open up a window where you can choose your proxy port and enter your port address & numbers. Note when using pass through or any other connection that doesnt use the same proxy, make sure you turn your proxy port settings off (by unchecking the "this NW uses proxy port" check box). I hope this solves your problem.
Alternatively, a solution I've found which works is to use Opera Mobile - you can specify an HTTP and/or HTTPS proxy to use (in the form of hostname/iport) and then when you connect it just asks you to authenticate against it and boom: you're good to go.
No more faffing about with My Work Network, half the time I could never get connectivity with my Alpine when I did it like that (which meant it tried to dial up to the GPRS)... However if I'm not using Opera for one reason or another, I will use the My Work Network method with my TyTn. Both ways work just as well, I just think the Opera solution is neater because you can just set all your wifi networks as 'connects to the Internet'.

i think it may work
it worked for me
I connect to various access points in schools no problem but I cannot get internet because I can't set the proxy server correctly. On a PC its tools/internet options/lan settings. On Mobile 5 if I got to settings/connections I can set a proxy server in My Work Network/set up proxy server but this does not work. Also it does not give a port number. If I go to advanced I can, but it still does not work.
Hi,
I'm new to this forum, and I have tried searching for a similar entry here at xda-developers.
I have a problem managing multiple connection automatically with my HTC TyTN II (WM 6) device. Here's the scenario:
1. I have configured the Internet connection to be the Internet APN of my ISP (the first connection entry in the Connections / Tasks tab. This works ok.
2. I need to access WAP pages (available only to customers of the ISP I'm using) via the WAP proxy of my ISP. I have configured this in the second entry in the Connections / Task tab. I have configured the APN, and proxy server for WAP browsing. I use wsp:// as the protocol in the address field of IE. This works fine, as well.
3. I also need to use ActiveSync to access company E-Mail. Our company has a third APN for this purpose to access the Exchange server in the Intranet. I have configured this in the second section on Connections, or the Network management under "Programs that automatically connect to a private nerwork should connect using:". The problem is that I need to use both the WAP APN, and this Intranet APN. With current setup I need to manually select WAP APN, when I browse the WAP pages (available only via the WAP proxy), and the Intranet APN, when I would like ActiveSync to sync with the company Exchange server.
Now, I've also tried selecting "Auto pick" in Connections/Advanced tab->Select Networks->Edit (private network section). It seems to always pick the first one, since it's a working conection. I guess this is how it should work. The question is: is there a way to tell ActiveSync to use a particular connection, or put it in another way: is it possible have two private networks, so that WAP browsing would use one, and ActiveSync the other one automatically. Only the WAP connection is using a proxy server. Company E-Mail is accessed via diffrent APN with username, but without a proxy server.
Thanks for your time,

After setting up access to my Gmail account through the native email tool, when I do a send/receive, I get and error saying:
"Cannot connect with current connection settings. To change your connection settings, tap Settings. etc..."
The only time I can do a successful send/receive is when my X1 is connected to my laptop - then I get all my emails. I have already appplied Windows Mobile 6.1 Hot Fix for Sending POP and IMAP E-mail.
I suspect some settings might be wrong - everything else is working fine. Am even getting 3G in SoCal using AT&T on MediatNet. My settings are as follows:
Access point name: wap.cingular
Domain: <blank>
Proxy Setting
Proxy Server: wireless.cingular.com
HTTP: wireless.cingular.com:80
WAP: <blank>
Secure WAP: <blank>
Socks: localhost:1080
Could anyone help? Thanks in advance.
almost certainly its because you are using a WAP connection.
I've never been able to use POP or SMTP on any phone through a WAP connection.
Try using the APN for cingular full internet
a quick google comes up with:-
APN: isp.cingular
User: [email protected]
Pass: CINGULAR1
but don't quote me, and you may need to check with cingular whether they need to change something their end to enable you to use that APN
Im pretty new to email on my phone but i had the same problem i.e. if i was on wireless i could get mail but if i connected via gprs i would get the same error, can not connect etc, i had to set up and new account with the same details as the account which would send and recieve via wirless and tell it to connect via t-mobile internet as there wasnt an auto option, so i now have two accounts for the same email one accesses via the internet and one via t-mobile internet, you can change this if you edit account setup.
Not sure if this is your problem or if i have read it wrong.
Hope this helps
Hi Masseur,
Thanks for the pointer. I did try but looks like it made no difference. Not sure what's wrong from my settings.
Anyone else has seen this? Would appreciate any help. Thanks.
Folks,
Someone in another forum pointed me to the solution. As it turn out, gmail doesn't work off proxys with AT&T. The automatic setup for AT&T had the proxy checked. All was needed is to take out the proxy and just keep the http settings. Working now!
basically i read some where to uncheck the box of proxy settings or somethink, now when i got to send/recieve email it says error syncing. now its askin m to enter ther setting WAP, GPRS etc... username and password? anyody now these.
thankyou in advance
I dont have the proxy unchecked, and mines worked fine.
Here is full internet settings.
settings-menu-all settings-connections
connections - edit proxy server (under "t-mobile internet" or whatever is first default profile)
check the boxes
and click advanced
HTTP 149.254.201.132:8080
SOCKS 149.254.211.10:1080
