Hi newby here
I have upgraded from a touch to a touch 3g from Orange, phones great works fine.
BUT
I used to use windows live push email. It looks like Orange has removed it. There is no short cut in programs.
There is an alternative business orange mail system which is now closed to new users and costs. However there is still the windows live push mail switch in the communications manager.
The best I have managed is to set up a conventional email account polling at intervals. (i have now managed to break this, do not discuss).
I am not interested in a new ROM and my net searches suggest that a download was available once from Microsoft.
I have found "windows live mobile msn/sms" but I think this is something else.
Any ideas?

Searching is huge, thread here with almost all Live links

Thanks namaste74
I had a good look through the forum before I posted. Thanks for your link.
I have had a search through that as well now and not found anything in there. Perhaps this deletion of windows live is new and only by Orange.
In all my web searches I only found one other bod complaining.

Is'nt google great.
I found a link to this forum. A thread by nanek921
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2112669#post2112669
and an attached file WindowsLive_0409 (english).cab
I have run the cab and logged in with windows live and I get the magic option download mail as it arrives.
So I now have push mail again, no thanks to Orange UK

PS
Orange UK have also broken the GPS when used with GoogleMaps. This can be fixed by setting the com cannel to com4 and not automatic.

What do you mean by, "Got windows live on your device"? Is there an app, or are you just using Internet Explorer to browse to http://mobile.live.com
Rob
yes it is possible
@dny238: you can get windows live mobile for wm5 by searching the forums or form the ftp
@mrmrmrmr: indeed it is possible as i have it on mine
how to: ok i have only tested this on the htc AKU 3.3 test rom but it worked and it seems to left poket msn installed after installing windows live
basically all i needed to do was to enter the windows folder of my device and found a file called INSTMSGR with an msn messenger icon it loaded msn messenger (the old one that came with the device) and pocket msn appeared again in the start menu
please leave feedback on whethere this worked for you tell me your rom version aswell so i know which ones it willl work on and which ones it won't
will post screenshots as soon as i have time
i suppose using http://mobile.live.com you could have three email addresses going if th need be
Hey a bit side tracking but just want to point out, I've been trying windows live (the app version) on my SPV M3100. And basically it blows pocket msn, the web based Live and in fact any other messenger app out of the water. Its so easy and functional. First time MS got something right in a long while.
Just wish my wifi connection didnt cut off every time the phone went into sleep mode.
If you aint got Windows Live Messenger get it now.
( I should ask MS to pay me for the free promotion)
even easier
after fiddling with my old charmer I found an easier way to do it as the other method didn't work
go to windows folder, start menu, programs and set it to show all files the poket msn icon will apear but still won't appear in start menu so just copy and past a short cut to the same folder and voila poket msn and windows live at the same time and this does work
great if you have a personal and business email accounts and you want to moniter them both

Hi guys/dolls,
My 1st post of hopefully many .......Got myself upgraded(?) from a FSC Loox T830 to an Orange SPV M3100 (mainly for the larger screen & keyboard) but note that there is no MSN Messenger installed!?! ... How can I get this or Pocket MSN installed? Also, anyone had luck on using 'push email' on this device through the Wlan connection?
MSN messenger wasnt included by Orange deliberatly i think, dont worry it is available on many different ROMs.
Push email works through activesync (on the device) you need to setup an exchange account somewhere and email sent to that account is pushed to the device if you are synced through GPRS/HSDPA Wifi or even through the USB lead on your pc. Denials service is quite good, and a simple $10 donation is all he requires for it. You will find it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=305612
There's also a CAB floating around for Windows Live Mobile... sorry I don't have a link but search for it and you'll find it.
I prefer using that over the old MSN Messenger AND you get free push email with hotmail - awesome!
Please use forum search.
I posted on this very topic a couple of weeks ago.

If you are wanting Pocket MSN then use the thread above.
Orange remove this from their device as it goes against T&C's but there is a CAB attached to the above thread that gets it working.
If you use Live messenger then it has an in built expiry that means you have to re-install it every now and then. It's still in BETA stage.
I would recommend using Pocket MSN as it is working fine error free for me and my M3100 using friend.
Thanks guys.....downloaded and installed the 'floating' CAB, Pocket MSN back and works a dream! Boo Orange!
I have got the Touch yesterday. Everythings work finde except the windows live messenger getting some troubles.
Live messenger could not show any people in the ONLINE list after first time logon. I 've reconfigured my msn account, without any problem at first time.
but... the problem happened again. Any idea?
Yessssss, I haven the same problem : no contact and error message !!!!
There's a new version of the messenger client, linked on the hermes general forum.
The new client works fine.
@ bencassie Can you copy/paste this link please?
1st search result on google for "xda developers new messenger" and you get a post with this link -

Are you guys have a Chinese TOUCH?
I had no problem with Windows Live.
If you have an English TOUCH,
I had no problem with Windows Live either.
Now, if you have an English WM6 but loaded a Chinese OS on it, then it may or may not work (mine didn't) with Windows Live.
Windows CE just like its damn older sibling Windows, applications can run into conflicts; PAIN in the rear end.
I own a Dutch Elf, and the problem occurs here as well :-( No errors or anything, just no-one online. They can message you though, but you appear offline in their contact lists :-\
Edit:
Just installed the newer version of WLM, and now its working great
Can someone post the link for the latest WLM? The one I have on Touch is 10.6.0028.2700

If your touchs' MSN Messenger has problem showing online contacts, this version can fix it
Does this version install over the old one thus taking no extra storage space?
Yes, it will install over the existing but it seems that it does take more memory space...
No update necessary
I've found out that deleting your password in windows Live and login in Windows Live with another account and accepting the license thingies again it works like a charm. (long sentence, lazy today)
WLM Build 1400.CAB
When im trying to install this,
Im getting a error, about: you dont have the rights too install this blabla
Anyone knows what to do know ?
I have a french HTC touch and the problem is the same. the only way to be really connected is to configure the connexion on each time.
If i only ask him to connecte the touch seems to be connected but is not.

Hi - I have just purchased an MDA Touch Plus (HTC Touch Dual) second hand and it hasn't got the T-Mobile (UK) rom on it but something from "Black Mary". Now, I understand that this seems to be an update to WM6.1 and de-branded and all, but one of the reasons I got the WM device was for syncing to my Hotmail email - I have seen that Hotmail email can be received in the standard Inbox application.
Well - this device doesn't appear to have MSN Messenger or any way to access Hotmail from anything other than the web browser....is this something that has been removed from the rom version I have and if so, how do I go back to an original ROM? I have tried at HTC but when I put in the serial number of the device it says that the ROM they have is not suitable (presumably because I am using a T-Mobile and not generic device).
Any help would be great - been out of the WM land for over a year and feel a bit out of date!
I think you could find the original ROM in this thread.

You also can just install the Windows Live software into your Niki again.

Thanks - can't find the T-Mobile UK ROM anywhere in that thread - seems that there are loads of people wanting that one!
So much for Windows Live. Installed...sync'd....downloaded email once. Now sync fails every time. Seems to happen to a LOT of people on a lot of devices. Bit too much to ask MS to get their OS talking to their email servers. Oh well.
I don't know if hotmail supports it, but I use gmail with IMAP4, and it works like a charm, maybe that'll help?
or forward you hm to web2mail and have it "pushed" to your phone
Hi,
i had one question about live messenger,
i can't find the good solution on the website.
When i sign in, all the people in my list are offline.
And when i check on the pc, the most are online!
The problem is not by the provider,
because i have HI ( daughter company of KPN).
Unlimited internet, high speed.
Who know's a sollution??
Regards
I have the same problem (Vodafone).
But I think the solution is to wait a while and then your contacts will apear. Also you can use the other Messenger by going to the Windows Live site. This one does work.
