Hi,
Does anyone know how I can make the "From" field available so I can send on behalf of another user when composing a new email message in Pocket Outlook?
Thanks!
At the end of the line 'Subj:<...>' ou will see a very small sign made of 2v (very difficult to explain but it is the only icon at that place)
When you click on it , the zone will expand and you will be able to enter:
To: <...>
Cc : <...>
Bcc: <...>
Subj: <...>
and
Account : xxxxxx
If you click on the small triangle at the end of this line, you will be able to
change the sender's account.
Depending on your ISP, you may use any account you like...even one that does not belong to you.....(héhéhéhé)
Indeed, the usual restrictions applied by ISP on regular internet access seem not to be applied on wireless internet...
Cheers
Yes, I can choose between "Outlook E-Mail" and "SMS", or any other account that I have set up.
But what I want to do is to use the "Outlook E-Mail" account (as this is what I use to connect wirelessly to my Exchange server), but to specify another name for the sender, just like you would in outlook by entering another name in the "From:" field.
The users on behalf on whom I am sending do not even have their own mailbox storage, they are just entries in the Active Directory on the server. All of the incoming email to these addresses are forwarded to my own user, and when I answer on such an email I would like to be able to make the answer come from that address instead of from my own. The users are not even allowed to log on to the server.
Any idea? I was hoping there would be a registry setting that would add access to the "From:" field.

Unless I'm mistaken, I can't see any way of editing the From: field on Outlook 2003 or Express 6, only To, Cc and Bcc. The From field is set by the account profile you are using. It's the same on the Jam. If you're using the Outlook Email Activesync account, as opposed to a standard POP/IMAP account, isn't the user ID (Exchange email address, identity, SMTP address, etc) controlled by the Outlook profile on your PC and the Exchange server directory, not the PocketPC?

I'm afraid you are mistaken
In Outlook, when you are composing a new email, under the "view" menu you can choose to enable the "From" field. And for all users that you are set up to send email on behalf of, only put the name in the from field and you will send the mail in the name of that user.
So what I am looking for is a way to enable the same option in Pocket Outlook. Or another software that will give me the same functionality as the real Outlook. Had a look at WebIS mail, but they seem to make a thing of not fully supporting the Active Sync/Exchange server protocol. :?

So I am. Guess who had the "Use Word for composing Emails" box ticked
Seems you're stuck then, unless you can send the mail via an SMTP server instead? Then you could set up accounts with different From and Reply-To identities, or have alias/rewrite scripts on the SMTP server to create mail headers depending on keywords in your message. Still a lot of messing about, but better than nothing.
It's abit weird that they left this bit out when implementing Pocket Outlook. It's not like it's rocket science :evil:
Hello,
I'm developing an application for Window Mobile 2003 that will upload GPS positional data to a server which can then be displayed to an end user.
I've managed to establish a connection to the internet using the connection manager Api. I now need to send a HTTP POST header to my server in order to upload the information, could anyone give me any guidance on the best way of doing this? I've tried the HTTPRequest.... functions but the function fails, is there an alternative to this method?
Thakn you in advance
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)
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
Having found various add-ins for computer based Outlook that will automatically add an e-mail address to the bcc field of every message, I have NOT found anyting that does the same for Outlook in WM5 or WM6.
Any advice will be appreciated

Paul,
ever find anything?

Auto BCC for Outlook Mobile
I haven't found anything. I think the only way to do it to create a new form that includes the default BCC. I have found a number of utilities that will work for desktop Outlook - just nothing for mobile.
