I cannnot acces to my email un gmail.
I'll really apprecaite if somebody can give me all parameters
I have 3 Gmail invites available
I was able to access my Gmail on XDA II. I now have an XDA IIs with 2003 se. I used the same parameters as on the XDA II 1.72 but I am unable to access my gmail. It seems to log on but stops in the downloading process.
Sorry, but I just realized that the problem I was having with my gmail account was not due to using 2003 se but because apparently (I don't know how) the settings on my gmail account had changed.
Here are the instructions that helped me from http://www.pocketpchow2.com/archive/2004_11_14_index.html
Update: Using Gmail from Pocket PCs
Earlier I had written here about how Google has started providing POP access for their Gmail email service. This week my account was enabled for POP access, and since then I had been trying to get it working with my Pocket PC. My efforts had been stymied by an error stating that email could not be downloaded to my mobile device. Today thanks to some assistance from Ed Hansberry got it to work. The trick is to enable POP only for new mail rather than for all mail.
If you have a Gmail account and want to access it using your Pocket PC, here is the information that you need:
Your userid and password is the same as what you use to access Gmail via a web browser
The incoming mail server name is pop.gmail.com
The outgoing mail server name is smtp.gmail.com
You need to configure the account so that the Outgoing e-mail server requires authentication
The account also requires an SSL connection
If you read Google's instructions for setting up an account you will notice that they specify port numbers for the incoming and outgoing mail servers. The numbers they provide are the standard port numbers for SSL access, so all you need to do is configure the Pocket PC account to use SSL.
You specify the authentication and SSL connection information on the 2nd account options screen. To access that screen tap Options on the fourth E-mail Setup screen and tap Next to display the Options (2/3) screen.
Since Gmail is free and provides 1 GB of online storage for email, it is a very useful email service. What makes it even better for Pocket PC users is that it requires SSL, which encrypts all your email as it travels between your Pocket PC and Gmail's servers. Keep in mind that when you use regular email servers that don't use SSL via a wireless connection, your email is floating through the airwaves in clear text. That means that anyone with the ability to capture wireless traffic can see the contents of your email. I highly recommend that since most people access email via wireless connections today, they use some form of encryption, whether that is provided by VPN or SSL.
It is too odd... My phone syncs with Push over Microsoft Direct Push, but it will only do it when my office desktop Outlook is open and running. If Outlook at work is closed it will not sync over the air. We are using Exchange 2003 and have the outlook web portal running. I just don't understand why the phone will Push sync over the air only when I have Outlook open on my desktop. Anyone have similar issues or a fix?
could you shed some light on how you've set up/configured your server
That doesn't make alot of sense, unless you have a bunch of client-only rules moving emails into the mail folders you are syncing.
I am using the web address to the web outlook portal on my phone; happens to be https://email.jsinc.com/exchange. I put that in and it automatically shrinks it down to email.jsinc.com.
It then connects and asks me for a login and password. I give it my domain username and password and presto it works. Downloads mail, contacts, calandar, tasks, etc. This works all wirelessly, as long as my outlook client on my work desktop is open and running- phone is NOT plugged in over USB, bluetooth, Wi-Fi, etc. Strickly over Edge wireless.
BUT if my machine at work is turned off, or Outlook application is closed, it will not connect wirelessly. Even if I try to do a manual sync on the phone it comes back with nothing- no errors, just no mail. I THINK it says there are messages there, but refuses to download the headers- I only know this because it gives me the correct number of messages that are new during the ActiveSync, but none of them are downloaded.
Once I open up Outlook at work, then presto my mail all syncs up like it should.
I did more digging and on our Exchange 2K3 box, I have
"Enabled user initiated sync" checked
"Enable up-to-date notifications via SMTP and Text Messaging" checked
"Enable notifications to user specified SMTP address" checked
"Enable Direct Push over HTTP(s)" checked
Under Outlook Mobile Access:
"Enable Outlook Mobile Access" Unchecked
"Enable unsupported devices" greyed out
BUT
Under my Active Directory User Profile/Exchange Features I have these items enabled:
Outlook Mobile Access
User Initiated Sync
Up-to-date Notifications.
That tells me things are where they need to be, and that the "All users" enable for Outlook Mobile Access is disabled, but MY outlook mobile access is in tact.
Are you storing all of your email, contacts, etc in a local PST file on your PC, or are you leaving your data on the server?
Do you have an AKU2 ROM? If not, it will be performing the sync through your activesync profile on the desktop, and not directly with the server (which sounds like your problem).
I am storing everything online, no pst files.
I am running version 2.24 ROM w/Cingular 2.25 Radio Rom, downloaded from someone that started with a "x" he makes clean ROM's, over on Howards Forums- sorry forgot the name. That is version 2 right, I have a Microsoft Direct Push button on my Connections window
Ok, I am fairly confident I know the solution but I have questions:
1) What user ID are you using to log into the server? Are you using xxxxxxxx or are you using [email protected]? Meaning, are you only using your Windows login name, or are you using your email address?
2) What is your DOMAIN option set to? Is that the EXACT same domain your desktop shows when you log in?
I bet your problem is that you are logging in with your email address and not just your windows login, or you are using your email domain and not your windows domain name.
when I log into the system is it like this:
jsi\treminga (domain then \ username) Even over the web the login is formated just like that above.
Regarding the Domain piece, I have my username as just treminga, password as my password and under domain i have "JSI"
It does login and retrieve my mail over the air, just seems that I need to have my desktop Outlook open to do that, which I think is weird. I have setup my server source from both my desktop active sync AND just on the phone, does not seem to matter, still seems to need my Outlook open to act as a gateway almost- but over the air? Odd

So on the phone you have:
User name: treminga
Password: xxxxxxx
Server: email.jsinc.com
Domain: jsi
Is that accurate? Can you log into Outlook Web Access without having outlook open on your desktop? When you log into Outlook Web Access, what do you put in the user name box?
This is all correct:
User name: treminga
Password: xxxxxxx
Server: email.jsinc.com
Domain: jsi
I can login from anywhere to my Outlook Web Access, my machine at work can be shut down completly- ie no Outlook open. In the Outlook Web Access I put my user name in like this: jsi\treminga (this is no seperate Domain blank in the login and password window that pops up). It will NOT allow me to connect if I just type "treminga" into the field over Outlook Web Access.
If my settings above were not correct, wouldn't it not allow me to connect? I assumed my login and password stuff was correct since I can download e-mail, contacts, etc and sync them, but only if for some reason my desktop Outlook application is open.
I am curious if you have forms based authentication enabled on your Exchange box. I am guessing no since you do not log in with your full email address to OWA.
Have you tried logging in on the phone using jsi\treminga vs just treminga?
To answer your question about it not allowing you to connect with incorrect settings, I have seen exactly the problem you are describing on my Exchange box, and we determined the problem was that on the phone the user name field had the full email address ([email protected]) instead of just the user name. Once that change was made OTA on the phone started working again without outlook being open on the desktop.
I can't explain why, except to offer this one word answer: Microsoft.
If slacker solution does not work, maybe you could confirm that you have SP2 on the Exchange box
If slacker solution does not work, maybe you could confirm that you have SP2 on the Exchange box
Should I remove the JSI part from the domain entry... ie which should I use
username: jsi\treminga
password: ********
Domain: (left blank)
or
username: jsi\treminga
password: ********
Domain: JSI
SP2 isn't required to do OTA activesync, just for the push. So the problem he is having would not be altered by installing SP2 I don't believe.
Also I should have the SSL box checked right? Since my Outlook Web Access site is: https://email.jsinc.com/exchange (SSL because of httpS) right?
Ok I deleted my server source and readded it, I could not add it WITHOUT something in the domain section. But if I put in the JSI in the domain section, and the user name was jsi\treminga it would jsi\jsi\treminga in the error and would not connect. How can I bypass the domain box? It seems to add the jsi\ with the "domain box", so adding it to the username makes it redundant.
Is there a way to disable password policy on my android when i have Exchange enabled?
Very annoying to enter pass eveytime
On Exchange server itself
The only official way is to disable it on your exchange server itself under Mobile OMA settings, If however it is your company policy, then I did find a workaround for Eris 2.1 roms see my post below, It uses the email app from Driod which did not have password policy built into it

Hi @ll,
we have a bad problem with our HTC mini clients after active sync settings was change for a couple of hours to personal client certificate. Normally and this settings was change back to our exchange server, the mobile clients sync with basic authentication domain username, domain password and domain name + server adress like the exchange owa: for example: https://webmail.domain.com.
Problem what we know have is, that the mobile client couldn't go back to that basic settings. They coulnd't sync anymore. I can delet the mobile outlook account on the device and reconfigured it, it works. But by more than 250 devices is that a realy bad option. Is there a chance or function to delete a special file or something like a sync cache to get that fixed? thanks to all idears.
You don't tell what version of exchange server use.
If your organization use 2007/2010 Exchange servers it will be the best solution to configure autodiscover service.By the way you should already configured that solution.
After configure autodiscover(it should be running by default) and certificates users should only remove Exchanage sync and reconfigure with typing their user name and passwords.
The key point is to make autodiscover working properly.
What type of firewall you are using ?
I was trying to add my office Exchange account to the default mail app of Windows 8. (It's nothing compared to Outlook but just wanted to try this out)
Auto discover did his work and all the settings are filed in correctly.
Then i got this messange;
"Make my PC more secure
You must make your PC more secure to connect to this server. Windows will ensure that your PC complies with any server requirements, including password requirements, requiring sign-in after a specified period of inactivity, and limited the number of incorrect attempts to sign into your PC. Windows might also limit sign-in methods such as picture password."

It gave me the option to cancel or apply the security policy.
But what is it applying? I wanted to know what this is doing to my machine.
After searching allot of fora i found out what it does;
Your computer may not meet the Microsoft Exchange server’s security requirements. The most common reasons why your PC might not meet the Microsoft Exchange server’s security requirements for this account:
An administrator account on your PC doesn’t have a password. All administrator accounts must have a password.
To meet the security requirements, you can:
Set a password for all administrator accounts on your PC.
Remove administrator privileges for any administrator accounts on your PC that don’t have a password.
Remove any administrator accounts from your PC that don't have a password.
BitLocker couldn’t automatically be enabled on your PC. Enable it in Control Panel and then try connecting to your mail account again.
Your Microsoft Exchange server requires security policies that the Mail app can’t support. The Mail app supports the following Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync security policies:
Password required
Allow simple password
Minimum password length
Complex passwords
Password history
Enforce password history
Device encryption
Remote wipe

I just wanted to share this with you all for if someone was wondering the same.
