Hotmail sync - Touch HD General

Got my touch HD, setup my hotmail but still getting many sync options, works sometimes but doesnt sync on schedule too well. Doesnt seem to sync when machine is in standby and manual sync is 50/50 too.
Any sweet fixes out there, went with wm6.1 rather than an iphone 'cause of the hotmail support...hasnt moved on from what i can work out

I had a similar problem and found that removing thr proxy checbox from my data connection sorted the prob. t-mobile has proxy set by default.

Yer i did that as soon as i got the phone, i'm on t-mobile too (expansys huh!) but had similar problems on tytn...think its a microsoft problem, you'd think they'd sort that out

When you sync with a hotmail address, does it treat it like IMAP or Pop3?
Could you briefly explain how I would set it up?
Many thanks.

Funambol Open Source Push Mail

Has anyone ever tried this out?
I am not sure if you need to install the server application on you workstation or on the actual exhange server. Would like to give it a go, as my company I work for is so slow in implementing any kind of mobile mail acess (we will have WM10 with 8mp camera pocket pcs before my work has mobile mail access). :shock:
you could try intellisync Wireless email http://www.intellisync.com/pages/Products/Express/
I have a similar problem with my company being a bit slow on the uptake...this works perectly...really pleased.
You install an application on your desktop and on the device (all very simple) The desktop app syncs your mail etc to a webserver, then the app on the universal connects to the webserver and sync it down onto the device. Very slick. Bear in mind that you have to leave your desktop logged in to your corporate network all the time, which isn't a problem for me as locking the pc doesn't affect the functionality.
I have seen that, but I don't want to use 6 different programs and places to sync. My dad has Intellisync Mobile Suite 6.2 on his Jam and works like a charm, but I can't get my hands on the original installation package.
I can access my work's e-mail via the web through webmail, but I don't know the settings like port numbers etc to get my Jam configured to connect. Is there anyway one can find out these settings without asking IT, as they are still testing it and won't give it to me at this stage.
Surely if you can connect to webmail (exchange), then my Jam should be also be able to connect. Imate Mail also uses webmail and it works on the JAM.

I was just being sarcastic.
I know on 2 apps, but you still have a "middleman" where you data needs to be sync from the pc, then from there to the ppc, back to the web server and again back to the pc. I want to go straight to the exhange server, which I should be able to do if I can get my work's webmail settings.
I see! Have you looked at xmail from o2...similar but your ppc connects directly to the agenct on the desktop...
it does
it works so far, but it is a pain to configure.
i hooked it up to my mail server.
with the admin tool you need to (under win or x) configure a user, device and principal and there you go.
what the manual does not tell you: you have to replace PipelineManager with PipelineManagerGeneric in ds-server/config/Funambol.xml to get it to work with your IMEI, or configure your device with IMEI syncml ..
It smashes my funny german umlauts, though. There is a patch (already included in Funambol) that should configure my internal storage to use utf-8, still its using internal iso-8859-15 (what ever that is for..)
I didn't get it to Unicode until now..
I have not tried to connect it to my mail server.. and i have not tried push email yet..

I managed to get exhange activesync to work. But since last night I can't get internet access via GPRS and this morning I can't get VPN access. No nothing wants to work anymore.
Looks like I have to reload my ppc and start from scratch, I have checked all my settings and see nothing wrong.
So I reloaded my Jam this weekend, connected to the work's mail server via GPRS and got my stuff.
Came to work this morning, changed nothing on the pc's settings, plugged in my Jam via USB, pressed sync and it connect without giving me any funny error messages that I got on Friday.
It is weird that it works now with the same setttings and now juts because I reloaded my Jam, it works. :x

DirectPush - Send, Recieve Folders - but no email!!

Hi,
I have setup Direct Push on our Exchange servers and setup my Qtek 9100 to DirectPush from it.
I recieve the folder structure
It tells me how many emails need downloading
I can SEND emails
But it doesnt bring any emails down!!
Can anyone help??
Email
I seem to be having this EXACT same issue. I cannot figure out what is failing.
Hmmm.. I am not at all sure, but I have an idea. If you go to activesync on the phone, and then go to configure server (under the menu right softkey), and then hit next and next again, you should see the screen with the things you are syncing... contacts/calendar/email/taskes, ect... If you then click on email, the settings button sould un-grey. Click settings. Change "Include the previous" and "limit email size" to "all", and then hit the "ok" in the upper right corner, and then finish. Hit the left softkey for sync, and it should get all of your email from the server... I have no way of knowing if this is indeed your problem, but I thought it may be worth a try... I would be interested to know if it works!
I have seen someone with exactly the same problem which I couldn't solve.
Are you by any chance running Microsoft SmallBusinessServer 2003 and Microsoft ISA 2004 :?:
Eman
We are running ISA Server...
Does everyone have this problem with Qtek or is it universal? I was going to try update ROM because you cant change account settings once you put them in, they grey out! But the ROM on Qtek seems a lower number than that I have installed... and Im not entirely sure what a ROM update does.
I have selected ALL on everything, just the number of emails to download increases... say 500 it displays 0/500 then 125/500 then disappears, still no email or anything!!
Just tried updating ActiveSync to 4.2 on a HP 6915...
Same problem...!!
HELP
Issues
Ok, here is what I've learned (which isn't much) so far:
I'm using a T-Mobile MDA with the stock firmware. I am trying to connect to Exchange Server 2003. I've seen the server options grey out as well, but the trick I've used is to configure the server options in Active Sync on the pc you have it connected to. The Windows Mobile version of Active Sync doesn't seem to play as nice at times.
Starcruzier--
Thanks for the suggestion, but I have tried that as well. I actually went through the same steps with a T-Mobile SDA on trial as well. When I do the steps that you outlined on both devices, I actually pull down all the mail...but I get no new messages as they come (and I did configure the SMS to send "As they arrive".
I'm starting to think this is more of an issue with either Active Sync, Exchange, or how T-Mobile handles push email from Exchange.
I honestly dunno about qtec, I have a T-mobile MDA. I am running rom version 2.26.10.WWE (just upgraded...) and I am using the Microsoft Direct Push (no SMS required... ) What rom are you using, and are you using the direct push or the SMS method (as I believe they work differently...) You can get the rom I have from a link in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=57554
although it is customized for T-mobile....
Question
I have a T-Mobile MDA as well. Star...did you get push email working with the stock ROM on the device?
Nope, when I got it push email was not supported by the default rom, and so I upgraded. I recently got a new one because the old one broke, but I believe that I upgraded this one before I tried to setup the push, so I dunno if it is supported by the default rom, or how well this works... hope this helps...

That's easy to find out - in ActiveSync on the device, set the schedule to "as items arrive". If you've got AKU2 on the device, it should NOT ask you for a unique device address.
You can also make sure by going into settings > system > about; my OS shows as "OS 5.1.195 (Build 14955.2.3.0). Afaik, that means I have AKU 2.3 on the device. You need at least AKU 2 for DirectPush to work. Oh, and Exchange 2003 SP2 on the server.
Did everyone else just setup DirectPush and recieve emails straight away, or is it just me with the problem?
Does ISA effect it??

If you get the folder structure, ISA should not be the problem. And yes, DirectPush works right away; if you have AKU 2.x on the device and when connecting to the server it determines that the server supports DirectPush, it should work at once.
Of course, DirectPush can be disabled in the Exchange System Administrator console. That would explain the effects you are experiencing.
Do you mean the tickbox 'Enable DirectPush' in Exchange Manager?
This is enabled on the Front End and main Exchange servers..

Yes, that's the one I meant. Did you increase the timeout on the ISA server to 1800 seconds (30 minutes)? Does it work with other Windows Mobile devices? Does your mobile operator maybe not support persistent connections?
I have just set this for Outgoing and Incoming to 1800.
Tried my PDA and it still does the same thing, shows me how many it needs to download (which is nice) and then decides not to download them.
Vodafone (provider) tell me as long as Internet APN is active, which it is, it should be fine.

Somewhere in ActiveSync, you can set the debug level to "verbose". Does it tell you any more when you set it that way? Also, on the backend Exchange Server (where your mailbox resides), check the entries in the IIS Log (%systemroot%\system32\Logfiles\w3svc1\exYYMMDD.log - assuming it runs in the default Web Site, else w3svc1 will be something else). Do you have IIS Lockdown installed on the server? What happens if you sync manually, does that work? In the settings of the user (Active Directory Users and Computers), are the Exchange features pertaining to Active Sync activated?
I have set this to Verbose, cant see any effects of it though..?
If I sync manually, it tells me what there is to download, doesnt download them, then goes again and does 0/1 on everything. And ends seemingly normal bringing nothing down.
I have lots of log entries relating to the GET and PROPFIND from ActiveSync in the log but I cant see anything displaying a problem.. everything seems to be communicating but just not bringing down the emails..
User Enabled Syncronisation is set against the user on AD.

After enabling verbose and trying one sync, what does it show when you hit "view status" in ActiveSync? Also, is it possible that you have policies in Exchange 2003 in place and your device is not compliant (e.g. no/too short password)?
Ive tried Verbose and no error is displayed, everything ends normal on Sync.
It is strange that you can send emails from the device no problems, so I assume the device is compliant. I have tried a HP PDA and have the same problem.

Can anybody help with the email problem

I keep having issues with receiving email (IMAP), i have a non branded x1 and from the start i had problems with this, now im running 5.01 from itje but on all roms i had this problem.
When i press send/receive i get these 2 following errors:
messages cannot be downloaded to your mobile device. Make sure you are connected and that your e-mail account settings are correct.
or
cannot connect to the incoming mail server. Be certain that your login information is correct, then try again to send and receive mail.
Some times i have to press send/receive 5 times before i receive any mail, and i always have a stable internet connection (3G/HSDPA) when i try.
The problem isn't related to Gmail what i first thought, because i have another IMAP account (my own domain) and the same happends to this account.
Anybody know how i can fix this?
Btw: i have searched everywhere but nobody knows what the problem is related to or how to fix this.
which rom have you using ?
As stated above, im currently using itje's Touch-IT v5.01 but i had this problem with the original rom and all other roms ive tried.
I know there is a bug with sending emails. But there is a fix for that. Search for smtpfix (or something). Receiving email through pop or imap should be working fine.

IMAP and Exchange are working fine for me. You can check the following:
1. Whether IMAP connection is allowed in your gmail account.
2. You should download emails using wifi or ActiveSync connections for the first time.
3. Or you can reduce email size and download period shorter such as the past 3 days.
4. I recommend using stock rom for stability. Cooked roms are fast but they have problems with stability.
5. I am sure there are no problem with Xperia stock rom, as I have been using both exchange and imap for 3 months now.

At first thanks for your answer, but i had the same problem with the stock rom, after that the same problem with EVERY rom i used..
1: IMAP is on, i use IMAP for more then 2 years now
2: Is that really necessary? I have never seen then, but will try to set the account up again and receive over wifi the first time
3: Ive allready reduced the size to 2 kb and only for the past 3 days
Im a really the only one with this problem? Pretty wierd since my internet is working great, only sending and receiving mail gives errors..
Does your imap server mandate you use tls or some sort of authentication? I remember I needed to import the server certificates in Windows Mobile. Can you look at the log file on the imap server?

No this is not needed, not for Gmail and not for my own domain.
Ive tried what htanlin said, i connected through wifi and now i have no problems at all, send/receive without any problems..
Now im going to switch back to 3G...... lets see what happends!
Nope, didn't work either..
When i switched back to 3G it worked once to send/receive, which got me 4 new headers..
When i tried to send/receive again to download the emails i got this message again:
messages cannot be downloaded to your mobile device. Make sure you are connected and that your e-mail account settings are correct.
So i cant send/receive email while im on mobile internet
This is so wierd, on my iphone i have no problem at all to receive email from any IMAP account while im on 3G......
HI falkenX, sorry, I might be barking up the wrong tree.
I had a similar problem, have you checked the imap and smtp server addresses? I know on itje's 5.04 ROM, the Gmail defaults to imap.gmail.com, but I've always used imap.googlemail.com (and smtp.googlemail.com). After I changed them to these I stopped getting those errors.

You could consider using a different email client. I gave up on the windows mobile standard client. Using qmail now. It works like a charm and it's free!

Maybe i have to indeed, but do you still get a notification when you receive any mail?
select your account, then go to settings.
select "edit account setup"
click next, until you reach the screen w/ the outgoing mail server prompts.
click on "advanced server settings"
try unticking require SSL for both incoming and outgoing..
but more likely, for "network connection", instead of having it on "internet" (which I think is default), select your actual data connection that you use.

Exchange Sync authentication error

Hi,
I have a HTC magic (Belgian proximus edition).
When I try to setup exchange account to sync with gmail, I am always getting an "authentication failed" error.
I am typing:
my full gmail address: ...
server address: m.google.com
domain: (left blank)
username: my full gmail address
password: xxxx
and tick: This server requires an encrypted SSL connection.
Anyone has a clue for this please ?
Thanks for your help
Do you have an exchange server you are trying to connect to?
If so then m.google.com is the wrong address. This address should be the address to your exchange server something like webmail.mydomain.com
like for my old exchange server it was mail.jasoncohenitservices.com when I had an exchange server.
m.google.com is not a valid address.
Is this a company email accout you are trying to set up?
if you are attempting to connect to a gmail address you use EMAIL program not the exchange sync email. google does not use exchange for their mail service.
I find that "Work Email," as it is called on my MyTouch 3G, is very unreliable and slow. It's spotty and quite frankly I would like something better.
Dont blame the app, blame your companies network. the phone has nothing to do with how fast your emails are delivered to you. i get mine before they even hit my inbox at work on my MyTouch3g using "work email"

Gotta blame the phone/app. Co-worker has an iPod touch connected to the office's wifi and he gets the emails in before the client does. I, too, connected my phone to the office's wifi and had a weaker signal than his iPod did (even had no signal where his had five bars) AND the "Work Email" client was slow to sync and missed emails. I have it to get emails as they arrive too.
I also deleted a folder on the client then sync'd Work Email and the folder still shows up there with no way to delete it in sight. So, yeah, really going to have to go with the phone and software as the problem...
The idea behind it is to syncronize my HTC magic with GMAIL calendar.
Looking at the info I found on the web, I had to configure the "exchange" settings with that google address to sync via "push" (3G).
Seems to work with many users in this way, but I can't get it to work on my HTC.
There is as far as I know, no software that syncs FROM the calendar of HTC TO outlook or Gmail Calendar. As I am not in a company, setting up an exchange server is not an option for me (price is too high).
In fact I am just looking for a way to have my Outlook Calendar synced with my HTC calendar and vice versa. If this works via USB or wireless, this is fine for me. In addition it would be nice to make it work via 3G too.
As I don't have an exchange server, Gmail Calendar looked a good alternative to me ?
Any other suggestions otherwise ?
Thanks
Regards

Gotta be something wrong with your phone. Me and all of my co-workers on android all receive our emails before our Winmo, Crackberry, and iCrap users. This is using EDGE as none of us have a 3G connection in the office.
Ok ...
Now back to the original question please ?
Following to the internet it seems to be possible to push the calendar of an android device to google mail.
What is the exact procedure please as I don't get it to work. And YES they are using "exchange setup" for this on the HTC !
Thanks for your help ...
Regards
My suggestion just start using google calendar and use your phones browser over 3G. The HTC calendar sucks in my opinion.
i also found this online:
If you told the device to sync with google when you set it up you will have the synced events in a calendar called "yourname" (first part of your google account).
The ones that don't sync I think you have put in "My Calendar" which is only local on your phone

You can set up e-mail accounts with hotmail (Microsoft Live), yahoo, gmail, etc.
The yahoo account should be set up as an IMAP type account, although you can manually set it up as a POP account.
I would suspect that you are having the Exchange account prompt is that you have selected 'mail' when you ActiveSync your HD2 with your computer. Thus the phone is trying to connect to an exchange server when not connected to your computer.
ok..sounds good so can you give me some steps..where to do what..just the general steps..not for every provider
Much appreciated.
so first open outlook on mobile(or!?)
2. do tjis
3...

So what to do now? to make it possible?
Go to the email tab in Sense and go Menu, Add Account. It gives you plenty of options, or you can just go to "other" and enter pop3/imap information that way.
thnks..will try.
