Hello,
I'm trying to figure out where the mail settings (in particular the SMTP server) is stored. I was thinking of using MobileProfiler to create different profiles, which I could use to change my SMTP server: if I connect via wifi, I need a different one than if I connect via gprs.
With TotalCommander, I searched through the registry and through the file system, but didn't locate anything.
Any thoughts on where this is stored (and if it is readable)?
Alternatively, I was looking for a "hosts"-file (like in Windows, which links hostnames to ip addresses), as one can modify this to get ip-address to change as one wants. But again no luck...
So, is there a place were this ip/hostname information is stored?
Thanks!

It is. Please see my WinCE database & Messaging-related articles. I've described most of this stuff at http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=231&more=1

Haven't read your article yet in full detail (just glanced quickly), but does that pmailfolders file also deal with the SMTP servers? (I currently have not yet downloaded mails to this device, and I can't seem to find the databasefile (despite the fact that all settings are all set)
If it does, is it possible to change its contents from e.g. MobileProfiler:
http://www.iaccarino.de/silvio/stuff/MobileProfilerReadme.htm
without corrupting the databasefile?
(I'm not a software developer, I just would like to be able to switch/choose my smtp server)
The hosts-file utility does seem like an easier way out, but I'll have to read up more on it. I could my a file for each smtp profile I have (in each file I would put same server name, different ip address), but then I need a way telling the device which of the files to use now. MobileProfiler allows for files to be copied (they illustrate it for Opera-settings), so perhaps.......
Oh, do you know if it is WM5 compatible?
For the time being, do you know an easy workaround? On my Symbian S60 phone, every message had "Sending options", which included the account via which it was sent. I just changed the option to the server I needed to use for the active internet connection, and I could send the file. I can't do this trick on my TyTN...

You should have started right with this
The Messaging databases are pretty hard to (easily) change in WM5 and there are no tools (that I know of) that would do what you need.
Therefore, you REALLY want to check out alternate browsers; most importantly, Qmail. The latter has an XML-based config file mechanism; this means your thirs-party profiler tool only needs to do some very simple file copy/rename operations to completely and easily switch between SMTP servers. Highly recommended!
Please also check out my Mailer Roundup and other, newer mail-related articles; I've published several articles on alternate clients.
Cool, thanks!
Weird though that all these devices (WM5, Symbian, ...) consider a SMTP server to be a property of the mailbox, rather than of the access point. Surely I'm not the only one who needs to change SMTP servers for different access points.
Again, thanks for the help, I'll search for a mailclient that offers better support for this (I'll check out Qmail too).
Jörg
I'm now running QMail, and this seems to sort out all of my problems.
In it, I can still change the account by which a mail is sent (so I can go back to using dummy-accounts like I did before), but I no also have the option to go for the more advanced profile setup using MobileProfiles.
Thanks!!!
(it made the device so much more usable for me)

Hello,
This may be a strange question, but how do you guys switch SMTP servers? I'd like to access the same mailbox over different connections (gprs, 2 different wifi). Reading mails is not an issue.
But for sending them, I need a different SMTP server for each of the connections (as I suspect everybody does). On my symbian phone, I could change the sending options of a mail, and one of the options is the mail-account used to send it. But this is not possible on the built in Outlook.
How do you guys do it?
(I'm planning to use QMail, which does support changing the account by which a mail is sent; but to make it more comfortable I also am working on a MortScript to change account settings when I want. There were some certificate issues in configuring QMail, but I think I solved it. The reason switching is important to me, is that my GPRS subscription has a volume limit, above which I have to pay extra. So if I can use an alternate connection, I prefer this.)

Exactly the same q was aksed either here or some other PPC forum some days ago.
My answer (I pretty much know everything about mailer clients and internal database / file formats - see http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=569&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1 ) is as follows: just switch your Qmail config files (the one that contains the SMTP server) from, say, a Mort script and restart Qmail.
If your mail server supports SMTP Auth, u don't need to do anything.
In the config pages, click on "my outgoing server requires authentication" then click on "use same settings as incomming"
Should solve the problem IF the smtp supports authentication.
Menneisyys:
Yes, that was my post (sorry, I should have linked to that particular thread). I'm just wondering if I'm the only one finding this a huge issue. Either way, I'm writing scripts as we speak (couldn't have done it without you referring to QMail). I also like to show on the today-screen which "smtp-profile" is active (found some ways of doing this too), and while I'm at it the script will also change PIE settings (not load images on gprs, load images on wifi). I'll make the necessary steps (along with the scripts and required softwares) in some tutorial, for reference.
(I had some issues with QMail, but I needed to add the certificate for my servers first).

Yes, but neither my mobile operator, nor my work, nor my analog dialup provider (still need it) support smtp authoring... Come to think of it, I could always set up a VPN to my work, which will allow me to use their mail server (but the VPN is also traffic limited, and sometimes VERY slow)...

Did you finally manage to achieve with something useful ... ? I'm in the same situation and looking for something easy to use to switch from one SMTP to another depending on the channel used (3g or Wifi).
Unfortunately, no...
My current solution is to use my work server: it requires me to set up a VPN first and then log on to it. When doing so, I can use it from anywhere; it works but is far from efficient (starting the VPN takes some time).
I thought of using a windows mobile program to have the equivalent of the hosts file in Windows (this is a small hackers trick: configure the software with a dummy name, and use the hosts file to have this resolve to the IP address you want), but it doesn't allow for easy switching, particularly as I needed a logon for one server. If you need this hosts utility, I should search for it (let me know if you need it); but it doesn't make switching that much easier from changing the settings in the mail client.
A possibility could be to use QMail as the mail client, but this is not possible for me due to some security settings I need (it never could download the mail bodies).
Jörg
Did the Mortscript avenue not pan out? I would of thought this would be something that it could easily solve.
Yes, but apparently the SMTP server settings are not stored in the registry, but in the outlook file which holds the account settings.
Editing this file is possible (founds some references on it), but generally not recommended as it easily is corrupted.

can't you just setup a gmail account, enable it for POP access, and use their provided SMTP server with your gmail username/password? leave incoming via POP on your existing one...

Well ... no thanks ... I'd like very much to have something easy to use ...
It is like to make sure that when wifi is available than use wifi and drop GPRS.
We can then easily imagine that knowing about an available existing Wifi network, the soft should be able to automatically modify the smtp server accordingly, switching back to "normal" when out of the coverage of the WIFI network ... not really a big deal for good programmer, a trip to the moon for me ...
thanks anyway for your proposal ... wait and see what clever people will bring to us

That wasn't an option for me: my incoming mailserver requires a VPN connection (when using the wifi at work). I think that some internet traffic over the VPN is blocked, preventing me from accessing another SMTP server.

Hehe...
The easiest thing would be something more userfriendly that exploits the possibiliy of using the "hosts" file to alter the IP address of the SMTP server (this is how most of the network switching tools on laptops do it). The downside to this approach is that you cannot change logon settings. In order to do this, they need to be able adjust the settings in the mailclient; either via some interface (not sure this is available), or by altering the configuration file.

The gmail route absolutely works for me - no mucking about with scripts etc. I followed this link (http://lifehacker.com/software/email-apps/how-to-use-gmail-as-your-smtp-server-111166.php)
only difference is that the smtp is [email protected]. Follow the instructions to set up gmail with your primary address and bingo.

I'm trying hard to like my x1, can anyone help?
Whenever I try to access OWA using either PIE or Opera I get a page cannot be displayed error. Anyone else seen this and got a solution? OWA works fine using my E90 S60 browser.
Thanks, Martyn.
Just tried it on Opera 9.5 build 15202 and it renders really nicely - pleasantly surprised!
Doesn't work in my Opera Mobile. Can't remember the build. It's the one with Manila favs from Itje's thread.
It works nice and is really fast (as always) in latest Opera Mini.

Try Opera Mini.
I'd not like to use Opera Mini for sensible sites
like OWA. It transmits logins over a proxy,i don't
think it's a good idea...
why don't you use Active Sync? You can sync it
manually and e.g. only for the last days. But for
the most it uses less traffic then visiting
the OWA site everyday...
Better yet, set up your push email. It keeps a HTTPS session alive. You just need to install the certificate on your PC to set up the sync, which you can get from OWA.

How?
Will it work without OMA (mobile access)? I don't think so. We don't have a frontend server to support ssl connection from mobile devices, and I'm pretty sure I've tried everything.
If you have a magic way to make it work I would really like to know.
I've been having the same problem...
...and I tried Activesync, but I get a 'certificate' error. I can't figure out how to get the certificate on my device.
I spent days searching the web for an answer... and I gave up after a while.

If you have the .cer file, you just copy it to your device like any other file and run it from there. It should install. I had a few weird cert errors when trying to get mine to work but random poking and prodding seemed to get it up and running eventually.

To be honest, I don't know, I'm not the exchange admin.
My company's fairly tightfisted when it comes to IT expenditure, so I'd be surprised if they forked out anything extra.
A cursory glance at MS's documentation implies that it shouldn't be necessary because as far as the exchange server is concerned, it can't tell the difference between WinMo's client and a regular web browser. I stand to be corrected by someone who actually knows what they're talking about.
Try installing the cert and setting up your server in Active Sync. It should just work.
I had problem in my work getting this working but after a clean install of OWA on our front end server everything worked properly. The only think needed on the X1 was to import the cer file if you going to use Exchange/Active Sync connection as someone has already suggested.
IE and Opera always worked it was just Active Sync which had problems.
I've just recently got an X1 and been trying furiously to get active sync to work. But as I don't have access to the exchange server at work, I've been trying to find out how to obtain a copy of the cert from my outlook.
Haven't been able to find anything, any suggestions would be much appreciated!
Grab the cert from the OWA website, cause it should be SSL encrypted. The browser shows the encryption with a small lock symbol. Click on it an get more information about the cert. When you opened it, open the cert for the CA shown on the last register. In there choose "save to file" and copy it to your phone.
On the phone open the cert with any file explorer, that will import it into the phone's cert store. From now your phone will trust your company internal CA.
This way is only useful, if your company uses self generated certs with an internal CA. You can see this, if your browser at home (the pc there has nothing to do with your company) show an cert warning, if you open the OWA website. If you really can't get acces to this site from the internet, forget all of the above
Brilliant! I'll give that a go when I get home! I'll let you know how I get on.
Thanks again mcfisch!
I just realised what I did wrong the first time. Under server, I put the wrong address didn't I. However, I've come across another problem, Where it asks for the login credentials, there' username, password and domain, what do I put under domain?
Its all sorted now! I can't believe I was being such a dumbass! I was over complicating things way too much!
Happy days!!!!!!!!
I have tried the built in app and touchdown, but both can't resolve our company exchange mail server. I even tried browsing to mail.mycompany.com and it gives me a 404 error...where as any other device pull it up just fine.

Okay this is funny.
Can anyone tell me if in your web browser you can get to www.continental.com or coair.com?
Yes to the first no to the second.
Same as ^.
Yes to the one you mentioned in PM. With /OWA and /Exchweb trailing the OWA web address.
This was tested on the EVO 4G phone.
I am able to get it resolved through the Mail app as well. Of course I can't get in
I can get in and I'm reading your email right now.

Update your Profile and your PRL again. It helped me with some things such as web pages not completing initially when I first picked up the phone.
I have done the OTA update as well and Revoked Root.
Hope that helps. That's really strange the towers would effect DNS resolution or IP blocks

Are you sure you have all the proper settings for Exchange on the EVO? I do not recommend accepting the 'automatic detect' settings for Exchange synchronization - on the initial screen, select manual setup and make sure you get everything right.
You will need your username/pw of course, but also the OWA site address and domain name. You might want to double-check with your IT department for the right settings.
Finally, if certain websites aren't popping up, I would update your PRL - this should clear up any data service issues.
All that had been done. Was not a settings issue.

I've not had any luck getting the mail client to get pushed email from OWA on my EVO either. I had this setup on my Blackberry before, but it isn't working out for me with the default mail client. I am using the following settings for Exchange Active/sync. If anything stands out to any of you, please feel free to let me know, this is my first droid device.
Exchange ActiveSync
Email address: (my email address for work)
Server address: (owa.company name.com/owa) since our company upgraded to Exchange 2007, we have had to put the "/owa" at the end of the URL to authenticate.
Domain: Active Directory domain for work
Username: GUID used to authenticate within active directory
Password: password used to authenticate within active directory
I have tried with SSL and without, to make sure that wasn't the culprit, but no change in results.

Sorry all, but I kept poking around with it and after submitting this response I was able to get it to work. The only change I made was as follows:
Exchange ActiveSync
Email address: (my email address for work)
Server address: (owa.company name.com) Even though authenticating via web browser requires "/owa" at the end of the URL, i removed it and got the results I was looking for.
Domain: left this field blank
Username: Domain/GUID (used to authenticate within active directory)
Password: password (used to authenticate within active directory)
Enabled SSL
Not sure if this will assist anyone, but thought I'd post the results that worked for me.

My issue was not at all related to mail...it was a DNS issue with Sprint. It seems they have resolved the issue on their end.
EDIT: grats on getting it working
Simple resolution then:
1. Double-check all your Exchange settings, including SSL (which is a requirement, unless your IT department is a bunch of idiots).
2. If you can't browse to some websites, then you have an issue with your Sprint service, such as DNS as the OP has posted.
Hi!
I'm a novice in the Android, XDA world...
I recently bought a G3, and after 1 day I had upgraded to Froyo.
But I'm having some troubles with proxy...
At my home, I don't need it, so everything works fine using my wifi connection.
But at work, I configure the proxy and Web Brower, Navigation, and others apps keeps working.
OTHO, some apps can't connect (eg. market, maps, rom gripper, etc).
Anybody knows where I can configure the default way of general apps connect to internet?
TKS.
The proxy probably filters your traffic and blocks it on not well-known ports. You should ask its administrator for details on what kind of traffic it allows (if that is feasible).

The proxy only allows connections on port 3128.
Do you think that some apps just woks with port 80?
And, if that's the case, anybody knows how to change it?

I can't do it yet. Here, the port that is open is 3128.
Some apps just bypass the proxy settings.
Even when I let the proxy (configured because my workplace network)configured, market works at my home (where there's no proxy).
But browser and others (that works fine with proxy) don't.
I don't know if this is a built-in app configuration (if it is, the only way is to create a route, using the address called by app, redirecting to the proxy - actually, I thought in that just now! I'll test it later! ), that is present on Market, Navigation, Maps and others...
Or if this is a system configuration. If it is, all we need is to find where its defined and change that.

At my home (where there's no proxy) which is far away from my university, I'm able to connect all apps to the internet. (I visit my home once in five months or so.)

That's because somebody(as u mentioned) changed the proxy settings,u will have to undo it and they would work again.

I don't know if this is a built-in app configuration (if it is, the only way is to create a route, using the address called by app, redirecting to the proxy - actually, I thought in that just now! I'll test it later! ), that is present on Market, Navigation, Maps and others...

I use transproxy to redirect to the proxy and it works a great deal except market downloads and Gtalk
