Check hotmail online

I've got a question regarding checking hotmail online.
When I goto www.hotmail.com I can login, it takes a while before I get to my default home screen of Hotmail, but when I click on "Inbox" it doesn't respond and I have to open the link in a new tab; still not the way, but okay. When I'm in my "Inbox" tab and want to click on a message, still nothing happens. I see it selects the message (as it does at the main screen of hotmail when selecting my "Inbox" as well) but it doesn't go further after that. Okay, then the way to open in a new tab then; it just opens a new tab, but with javascipt().... in the address bar....
I know you can check your mail by setting up (or automatically let HD set it up for you) in the device itself, but I don't want to use that feature.
Does anyone else have this problem too, or know what can be done to let this work? Do I have to install a different java application for it, or someting else?
Thanks in advance.

I'm having same problem

Tried Hotmail Mobile?
mobile.live.com/hm/folder.aspx
Also, try editing your "Reading pane settings" in the Options, see if any of those other settings help you.

The mobile version works just fine, but email display is not html but text only

Yes, I've tried Hotmail Mobile as well, and that works. The normal html version still not.

I also performed a hard reset yesterday, and it's a little diffent now: I can get into the main screen, can even select my inbox, it redirects correctly, but if I want to select a message now, it doesn't do anything... strange... Before the reset, I was able te open it in a new tab by holding the link, but not anymore....
I've also seen it at another site(s), but don't which one that were. But it would be nice that it will work fine as well. So it has nothing to do with Java or something like that?

email problem

hello! i have a problem with my email account.
actually its gmail. when i try sent or receive mail
there are written password is incorrect.
but its for sure right password. same error i have
in gmail app and opera mini 4.2. i can only
check my mail using ie or opera mobile.
i hope anyone can help me.

I presume you're taking about gmail account in the Mail tab of M2D.
Try deleting the account and setup again.

yes right thats in mail tub. thanks for solution! but i already done that few times
with soft reset. and new account same problem.

well, i would try one thing. type your passwort into a .txt file on cour pc, copy the .txt file on the memory-card, open it on jade, copy to clipboard, set up the mail account again, paste the password from the clipboard.
by the way, what is M2D? touchflo? curious...

Most probably it is keyboard and letter selection.
Meaning the letters you are typing are not the same you intend.

yes m2d touch flo. thanks i will try soon with .txt. i think it
might help me. but regarding letter selection, look's like it's
possible, only question why then i can check my wail in internet explorer?

I am using Gmail in Opera Mini without problems. Do you have any special characters in your password, or just letters and numbers?

this should not be the reason, i have a complicated password with !.2Gg etc, and it works allways... i think it might be a typo..
@vnavigato, u can try it as well by pre-typing the password into a word-file in the jade itself... there you will see it, can check it, then copy paste etc (sorry for my complicated first thought)

i have tried with pre-file made in pc and jade as
well. but it's not working. all the time same problem.
and my password very simple.

did u activate pop3 and imap in the gmail interface?

Yes, activating POP3 should solve your problem. Was in the same boat a while ago
Regards,
Carty..

thanks to all. it's working now. but actually i don't know
what i was done for this.

did u actually activate it? if so, u gotta know that gmail does not support imap/pop3 if not activated. this could have been the solution...
anyway, good to know that it works!

hotmail and pop3
By default WM does not allow hotmail to be configured in the mail tab of M2D. It will force you to windows live. To work around, follow this .. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3236902&postcount=5

yes i think i was activate imap pop3.
thanks so much

Sent emails not showing in 'Sent' box?

Hi guys,
I've had my HD2 for almost 2 weeks now and am loving it! It's my first Windows Mobile device and I'm learning new things every day.
Everything is set up and working well *touch wood* but I have 1 slight problem. I've been sending/receiving emails via my btinternet account on the handset without a problem so far, but once I've sent out an email, there's no record of it on the handset. It doesn't show up in the sent box and, having had a look through the settings, I can't seem to find anything related to rectifying this type of problem. Am I doing something wrong and/or can anyone help?
Thanks in advance

Yup i have the same issue, another bug, sure it will be fixed soon though.
Also you notice how it does not sync any of the other folder either, atl east on hotmail it does not.

Yep I'm having the same problem with my Gmail. The inbox syncs but no other folders sync even though I have selected them in 'Manage Folders'.

Yeah, I've noticed that. It's the same with Yahoo. I don't really mind that so much though to be honest. I just want the confirmation that my emails have been sent, it's very strange?!.

how have you managed to get your hotmail accounts setup on the HD2. i cant seem to connect to the server to sync my email? ive disabled the 'proxy' in the connections settings but still cannot set it up?
Could you pls give a step-by-step setup procedure?
its really appreciated, thanks

I'm also having problems getting my emails to come through. My btinternet email ones seem sporadic and I have to click on send/receive to get them to come through. My hotmail worked a couple of days ago but now nothing....and I know I've new emails. I keep getting the page appearing asking for my password and username poping up. Can't get it to sync at all. Whats the proxy setting you mention? Wheres that?

from inbox; menu/tools/manage folders, then tick the boxes to any of the fiolders you want synched and finaly refresh your mailbox.
By default, only the inbox is always synched.

The easiest way to synch your hotmail account is by using the windows live software on your Leo. Just enter your username and password and it will do the rest.

hi , thanks.
i honestly 'prefer not to' install all the live stuff... as i believe ppl here have been able to sync without installing this? would you know if this is possible (it would be better)?
thanks

You don't have to install anything, it's already there on your start menu. It simply automates your mailbox syncing.

Having the same problem, there's no tick box!

It is strange if you cant see the boxes at least for some folders. I have to choice for Inbox, Sent Items and Junk mail.
Anyway you can try to keep the finger on the folder to get context menu where are other Folder options. And there is something I would like to ask some advanced user - why I can switch there from "Download email headers" to "Download complete message" but nothing happens and from Hotmail account the phone keeps downloading just email headers. Btw. when using POP3 for my other email account I am able to set this option to Download complete message and YES, there it is running like a charm. But with Hotmail I am not able to succeed.
Anyone knows the clue?

got it working
ok maybe its a little late but i figured it out... ---> click on email--> click on menu--> new acc--> pick hotmail/live--> put login info--> if it goes to opera like it did to me or does appear below gmail or so forth on the email tab don't worry im gonna tell you what to do next--> find the windows live icon click it.. once ur logged in you will see Windows live Home follows by Messenger followed by sync--> click on sync--> a new option appears and it should be hotmail option to view your emails..--> now get out and go to your email tab..--> at this point your hotmail is sync to ur device and should be good to go..

thanks so much clown shoes this is so simple but so easy to overlook i spent hours before i found this now have my saved mails

thanks!
I second the above poster! The fix for this was so easy, but so incredibly counterintuitive that I don't think that I'd have ever gotten this on my own.

I am trying to get the incoming mail server settings for the mobile.msn.com so i can add a second account. Does anybody know these settings?

Email deleting from Googlemail

Hi all,
I have looked through the threads as far as I can, and I can't find the answer.
I have just hard reset the phone a few days ago, and set up my googlemail account and other apps I use.
The problem is that the emails seem to delete themselves after about 3 days,and I can't see why. I've logged onto googlemail from the PC and the emails are all still there, which is strange.
Is there any way that this can be fixed?
Also, a hint on how to change the default signature would be great.
Many thanks in advance,
Chris.

You looked as far as you could on the forum, but not in your phone's menus
Email tab, More, menu->tools->options, select your account, and fiddle in the settings until you get to "download mail from the last X days", change the 3 to what you want. On the place where you select your account there's a "signatures" button too, for the 2nd part of the question.

Ah, I expected it would be something simple.... now I'm slightly embarassed
Many thanks for that, I honestly thought that the settings would be on the initial mail setup lol.
Chris.
PS. Sig changed to "Sent from my HD2, much better than an iPhone" Will annoy the wife very much

Ah.. I figured it out immediately after posting my previous msg.. Thanks..

Screen turns on randomly

Does it ever happen to you guys? I didn't get a text, email or anything, the screen just turned on on its own.

yeah lots for me and the new roms I change daily. Always put it down to polling weather servers etc.

Anyway we can fix it? The big screen is a battery killer.

My screen for some reason is showing one new e-mail but I have deleted all of them (from phone and website as well) ... eh whatever ...

Try un-check the Voice Command in Settings/Other.
By default it is checked, so I thing that's messing up the screen in noisy environments.

You have to go to Inbox and actually read every new e-mail, to get rid of those hanging notifications.
There's also a cab fix that adds a menu item: "Mark a Read" but that's essentially the same thing as going to Inbox and opening each mesage.

The real fix lies in Active Sync...
You need to recreate the Exchange Mail account, then access the original or "dummy" account created when the PC synchronizes with your device to access system settings. Within that inbox, you will find the "Welcome" e-mail that you did NOT receive a notification for, nor read. OPEN IT. DELETE IT. And there you are... no more lingering notification on S2U2, or the home screen tab.

If you set up a push account then this is what will happen.While in your email tab inbox swipe to the side till you get to outlook and clear the inbox in outlook.
