Hi All,
In my device TD2 WinMo 6.5 (2.17.720.2 WWE) the Lock settings was not set (The "prompt if phone unused for" check box was unchecked.).
Today when I setup the Outlook/Exchange email, I got a message after the configuration telling that I need to enable the device lock, due to security policy, and I had to enable that by force AND There is no way I can disable that.
Now:
1) I am not able to disable the Device Lock -> How should I do that now?
2) Now it does not allow me to Delete the Exchange Account so that I can get the device locking settings editable.
Please help/guide me here.
Thanks.
Change regisrty to: HKCU\ControlPanel\BackLight\AutoDeviceLockEnable=dword:00000000
Thanks Bruce for the quick reply, I will try that and let you know .
How can I delete the exchange account, if I dont want that now?
Thanks.

You should be able to go into your Email\Tools\Options\Accounts and delete it from there.

I tried that before I posted here, but with no luck. The Delete was disabled for Exchange, but was enable for other emails like GMail.
Thanks.

My device already has this value set to 0, but still the auto device lock is enabled and does not allow me to change.
Any other pointers?
This value should be changeable. You may have to Hard Reset.

I know after hard reset it will work, as Exchange will not be configured that time. because It was working before I configured exchange.

My Vario II is set to automatically do a send/receive to check my pop3 email account every 15 mins. This was working fine but suddenly has stopped and no longer checks automatically. I have checked all the settings and they all seem to be correct. It may or may not be linked but I have also been having difficulty getting active sync to work recently. Any ideas?
Thanks
Michael
P.S. I should add that if I manually select send/receive then it works fine, it just won't do it automatically.
I take it you're running WM5. There is an option to do it, but it sounds like you already have it set.
Oh, check your roaming settings. The phone may think you're roaming, on WM6, there's a checkbox under the mailbox settings to download mail even when roaming. I don't have a WM5 to refer to in order to tell you exactly where the setting is.
I must add my related problem to yours, I hope you don't mind. The option doesn't seem to exist at all with WM6. Has anyone been able to set the pop mail to download automatically?
Yes it's WM5. I checked and can't find that anywhere in the menus. All I can think off is that i've installed something then removed the programme and somehow it's changed a setting. Looks like a hard reset is on the cards unless anyone else can help.

You didn't do the "Fake server trick" did you? That sets your Active sync connection to manual. What kind of problems were you having with AS?
Mike
I don't think so, or at least I haven't done that intentionally. Basically active sync won't connect at all anymore to my PC. It's all very frustrating!

Have you found a solution? We are having similar problems on the new Kaiser:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=332362
It sounds like an issue I had. If you are pressing the power button to stand-by the device it will not check your emails automatically for you. This is something that has been fixed in WM6.
To get around this add the "device lock" today screen item and use that instead of stand-by-ing your device.
Thanks. The Kaiser is a WM6, so it may not have been fixed....I will try the device-lock-then-let-it-go-into-standby-by-itself trick to see if this works...

I can confirm this works!
I posted this in another forum, but thought I'd give it a try here.
I'm using Verizon's Wireless Sync for my work email and contacts. The bad part is, by using that it's enabled the Lock feature after a timeout/standby/power cycle. I know the registry keys that disable the PIN requirement, but whenever I sync, it resets them.
I tried the Zenyee StayUnlock program, but it's not working for me. Nothing I can find has been able to keep those entries from being reset
Any ideas?
Bump for some help
Oh, and the registry settings reset when I soft reset also...
I have the same problem except when I change the reg keys it disables the lock until the next day. I don't think there is a way around it. I have done some searching but not a lot and it doesn't seem like there is any other way.

I can get it to stay..... as long as I don't sync or reset (soft or power cycle).
I had found some people were able to use the StayUnlock program to help keep those entries from reverting back, but I couldn't get it to function.
It is QUITE annoying...
Hi used this StayUnlock program and it worked really well for me never have to enter a password to unlock.
Also, you don't have to use Wireless Sync if your server is Exchange, then you can configure ActiveSync to sync over the air, and this StayUnlock works really well. it just gives me a reminder when my server push the security policy, but it reverse it.
Unzip this, create a shortcut to it and dump it into the \Windows\Startup folder.
Hope this helps.

Use ActiveSync OTA? Never heard of this...
I tried the StayUnlock. It didn't work for me. The reg settings would reset as soon as I ran Wireless Sync or reset the phone.
I installed the program, made a link to it from the Startup folder, but still no go. Do you change the settings BEFORE installing, or AFTER.
Ok, I got it to sync to the webmail server for my Outlook. But it's not a push service.
That's what I like about Wireless Sync. It's a push.
Hello out there.
I can't change my email settings anymore. Also I can't create a new mail account. If I click on these buttons nothing happens. If I click longer I can delete the accounts that all.
What can I do? Please help.
Balba
My advice is to create your account with a alternative program, which is for example Profi Mail which I use with a pleasure. It's very easy to operate with it, and it's very practical, here is the version I use:
http://uploading.com/files/41d4fc78/ProfiMail.v.3.20.rar/
Read the text file in archive, just register it with CD-Key that you want: 543435, 634535334, 434232, 5643534, 654453, 5345 or something like that.

try softreset, delete all email settings, softreset and create new email.
Thanks.
For the second tip I can tell you that I deleted the accounts. But if I click to create a new one nothing happens at all. That´s great.
Anyone an idea? Is it possible that there is something wrong in my registry?
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?
Had 2 gmail accounts working perfect
All of the sudden they are still in the 'sense' gui.. but not in my email app..
- How do I get them out of the sense gui ??
- I fi (re)create my account it does not work anymore..
Anyone has a solution ???

I've been having the exact same problem. It started soon after (but not immediately) after I did my first hard reset. It was very soon after I gave TProfiler a try (which is now uninstalled). Don't know if the issue is related to either of those things, though.
How did you solve the Sense part of the issue?
Thanks for any info.

Use the attached Program. Copy the exe to your device, start it, select the account to repair, type in the necessary data and click on repair. Your account will be fully visible/restored in sense and WM again so you can use or delete it. Works like a charm had to use it several times till now. The problem often occurs after using a full backup or similar.

I got the gmail account fixed right up. Thanks. Having trouble finding the right entries for Yahoo, though. The program asks for POP info, but I'm assuming I can enter IMAP info if that's how I set the program up, right?
Much thanks.

Usually u just need to fill in the first informations (username, password). Most of the other settings should still be stored in the account so that you dont need to fill them in again.
Greets
Sorry for the late reply..
What I did was
goto email tab in sense..
Account management.. delete the accounts there
add them again.. everything ok ..
(until now)...
