Guys please help.
I have two problems with Hotmail which I have no idea how to resolve
1. When I'm on the WiFi synchronizing still wants to connect through 3G. Why?!
2. It NEVER displays my whole inbox but ALWAYS ONLY 50 messages. Is that possible to work it out?!
I have this on every WM Device....
So nobody here beeing able to help?!
I don't know mate, I think it connects by 3G first by default. If I turn the phone off, then it does it by WIFI. It's what I usually do when I want to sync my mail anyways. So I have never looked into changing the order of what it uses to connect.

Well the thing is every app in this device uses WiFi by default once connected, including other mail accounts!!!!
So why the hell only Hotmail is different?!
And why it shows only 50 messages when my inbox is 200?????

I think there was a setting for that message # thing. Aaah I cant remember right now I am sure someone else can remember this. I don't use hotmail myself on the X2, only GMAIL and I set mine to only show todays messages, so I never have the issues you are.

I think I solved the connection problem
just by sync through windows live.
The only thing which is left is this 50 messages limit in Inbox.

Sadly there is a limitation of 50 hotmail messages, and this limitation is in WM 6.5. I have looked in the registry and not been able to find any settings for this, seems to be hard-coded.
Please prove me wrong anybody!
The only solution I see is to use the POP3 protocol for your hotmail account instead of the hotmail client:
Incoming: pop3.live.com (SSL)
Outgoing: smtp.live.com
SMTP Port: 25, outgoing autentication required.

The same with WM 6.1.
This limitation is ****!
Well all of my emails are on ProfiMail anyway....
I hope this will be usefull
i didn't see the limit problem because my hotmail doesn't have many mails. but what i know about your wifi/3g connection is that you should change your setting in ==> Start/settings/Connections/connections, go to advanced tab and select networks, it opens network management for you that you can set the connection setting for programs that automatically connects to the internet and to a network.
you should choose any network BUT the network you associated your 3g with.
for example, i set both on my work network, so every connection goes out only on my wifi , if connected. if not there will be no costing connection.

Hello everybody,
I'm a satisfied user of a MDA Vario, but I have some questions about tweaking the software. Is it possible to receive e-mail from pop3 accounts automaticly, like SMS? I don't wanna check it every time, I rather like it when it gives me an notification.
Thanks in advance,
Ruud
When setting up the email account there is usually an option to connect to the internet and check every X minutes for new email. X can usually be a value between 1 and 59 I think. That is what is normally available by default with the Windows OS I am sure there are other packages (that can be purchased) that offer more options. I use the same setup and it is fine for me
Yes there are others solutions as well. I'm using vgsmail for this. It's an imap client, so you need an imap account instead of a pop account. The software is still under development & not everyone is pleased with it. http://www.vgsmail.com/ppc/

One problem with this one though.
It doesn’t work from standby, your device has to be switched on to receive notifications.

Thank you, but I don't have an IMAP e-mail, I use DirectAdmin, and IMAP is not supported. I can't change the interval setting, I think there's no one.. could anyone give me detailled support?

On you wizard, open outlook, open your mail account.
Menu/tools/options
Select your mail acc
next (e-mail address)
next (user login)
next (acc type)
the server info page (page 4/4)
options:
Connect & check for messages every: <check box> <pick time period> <pick connection network>
Then it should use wifi/gprs/dun whatever you have set as the network type to check your mail to the frequency you require.
IF you only want it to auto check when on wifi, and not on GPRS (costs etc) you will need to edit your networks (you can add more to have 1 just for wifi) start/settings/connections/connections
Hope it helps
Thank you, this is where I'm looking for!

Trying to make a new profile for this, but wifi does not show up under "modem" connection. Am I missing something here?

in the advanced connections tab click "select networks" (this is where you made a new profile) set the new profile as "internet"
then it'll apear on the settings page, configure it as required then change back to normal network as required.
I'm just wondering why my hotmail email account uses my data connection even though I have an active wifi connection. My gmail and yahoo connects to the wifi no problem but when I do 'send/receive' with my hotmail, it always uses the data connection. Anything to change this setting? Thanks.
We are together in this I guess
Good question! I was wondering why it happens too... I went through the registry, I made a hard reset (Was thinking the problem due the fact I imported mails using a backup problem)... nothing... there is no way to solve it! I think there is someproblem in messenger by itself and the solution might be installing another version?... Any idea anyone
I have this problem too, i go into communications, then disable cellular radio, and activate WIFI, then my hotmail updates over wifi, Strange, some kind of fix for this would be good.
Does anyone know if there is a fix?
In the email account settings try changing connection to "The Internet" instead of the default one (mine said "T-Mobile Internet").
This way email will go via WIFI if available, otherwise via 3G/GPRS... as it should
The problem here, and why it's set to default to HSDPA for email, is the outgoing SMTP server. Orange in particular block the use of any SMTP server other than their own, but of course their smtp won't work when you're connected via wifi. Thus on mine I set it to use Orange Internet for everything (idiotically it wasn't defaulting to that, so no outgoing email when on wifi).
Ideally this really needs different smtp settings when you're on wifi - anyone know a way?

I'm no expert, so put me right if I'm being dumb here:
I'm with Orange (UK) and use my own email account (incoming POP3 and sending via SMTP).
I seem to be able to both send and receive mail quite happily via HSDPA even though it's not Orange email. Am I missing something ?

Hrrrm, maybe just a yahoo email thing then. I can't use their smtp on orange HSDPA.

If it's of interest, the email through my own server requires the mail client to log in for both sending and receiving, and the word SMTP doesn't appear in the server name. Perhaps this helps Orange to "miss" it ?

I have the same problem, but a lot worse. My HD doesn't use my wifi for anything, unless I deactivate my data connection. It's really annoying, especially since I previously had a Diamond, and that worked perfectly!
Any tips would be VERY much appreciated!

Same here. I thought it was just opera that wouldn't use wifi, but its everything. All my apps seem to use my data connection rather than wifi.
Sorry to dig up an old thread, and I don't know if the solution is elsewhere (I've been searching for hours), but I think I've sorted hotmail to connect using wifi here:
http://www.dugaldwilson.com/dugald/archive/2009/02/17/54.aspx
Another solution would be to use 'No data' app and toogle off 'internet' & 'wap' so data connection is not available so phone can only use wifi. If at some point you want to re-use data connection, just toggle them on again.
Hi
Hoping someone can help me!
My Touch HD has been working fine up until yesterday, and now for some reason it is no longer sending emails. I know the settings are right because it was working fine until yesterday.
I have done a hard reset, and installed an alternative ROM but still no luck. My email server itself is working fine.
Any ideas please, it's driving me mad!
Thanks in advance.
Ben.
Anyone help!
Ben,
You'll have to give us a little more to go on.
Who is your Mail Provider?
What error are you getting?
Anything else that might help.

Also are synchornising your mail by using WiFi or 3G
Provide Sreenshots if you can
Hi - I'm having a similar problem on my Touch HD. I have a POP email account set up which connects and downloads emails absolutely fine when I'm on Wifi or connected via Activesync. However when I am on a data connection (i.e. GPRS, 3G, etc) it comes up with an "synchronisation error", and suggests I edit my connection settings. The data connections works for everything else, including web browsing and other applications that require it. Its almost as if the mail application isn't being allowed access to the data connection unless its over wifi.

Check your service provider.
I had this problem once and they were "playing" with the POP access over GPRS.
I would give them a quick call.
Regards, D
Yup, sounds like I am having the same problem as DaveHodgkinson.
Can download emails fine, can access the internet fine. Just can't send emails. I know all my settings are correct as they were working fine previously, plus I can send/receive via Outlook and webmail absolutely fine. I have a QIQ hosting package with my own domain that I use for email.
I have read about other people having this same error on their WinMo devices, but have not been able to find a working solution for it.
The error message I get is "the message could not be sent. Check that you have network coverage and that your account information is correct. The try sending again".
Well I do have network coverage, and the account information is correct, so what next!!
This fault renders a major function of the phone unusable.
I doubt this is a "fault".
I'll bet your mobile provider is blocking port 25 making everything else not matter.
Get a telnet client and make sure you can telnet to your mail server on port 25.
Use your wireless providers SMTP server.

From searching google this problem appears to be too widespread to be operator specific. I have tried an alternate port and that also fails. I am on o2.
anybody anymore ideas?
Planetgong,
If you are on O2 UK, this worked for me:
If you can't get your own email providers SMTP settings to work then you can use O2 settings for sending email (while keeping your own email provider for incoming email). To do this your main email settings should look like this...
Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)
Host Name: smtp.o2.co.uk
User Name: [email protected]
Password: youro2password
Your Advanced settings should look like this...
Outgoing Settings
Use SSL: Off
Authentication: Password
Server Port: 25
If you can't remember your O2 username and password (you will have registered this when you activated your phone) then just register another one at www.o2.co.uk (the 'Register' link is near the top left corner).
Hi
Thanks for the reply. I've just tried that but get the same error message. Can you tell me where I can find the advanced settings?
Planetgong,
Assuming you can log onto your o2 mail box on your PC/laptop. And sign out again.
Go through email setup, my outgoing mail server is smtp.o2.co.uk, tick outgoing server requires authentication, untick use the same name and password. Under "advanced server settings" (at bottom of screen) have both boxes unticked. Make network connection O2 active (not The Internet).
done and next.
Enter O2 user name and password
continue to end of setup.
Then try it!!
Hi
Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately this still didn't work. It is like my Touch HD has suddenly decided to stop all outgoing SMTP connections. I have tried so many different things now and it still isn't working!

Although the problem is supposed to be solved on the version of Windows Mobile on the Touch HD, it clearly isn't! Cheers Microsoft.
Not sure what to do now. Don't see why I should accept a phone that all the features don't work on?
I've also got the .cab fix installed linked to by the traceyandmatt site.

hi,
disable your proxy. that might help
goto settings, tab connections, then select connections
next select 'setup my proxy'. go to tab 'proxy server' and uncheck 'this network uses a proxy server'

Didn't work for me! couldn't send any email anymore! Restored a backupfile
Have setup my HD2 on t-mobile using the automated wizard, i can browse the internet fine using opera, but each time i want to check my IMAP account i get the following message: "Cannot connect with current settings".
If i switch to WiFi it works perfectly, so my email settings are correct. And my internet settings on 3G are correct as i can browse the internet, but for some reason i cant download email over IMAP. Is anybody else having similar issues?
Nb. I'm in the UK.
thanks.
Try turning off the proxy server in connection settings.
Thanks that worked a treat, so much for auto-configuration
sorry if I post it here, but I have an issue with my web.de imap account, wich is that it only shows me messages back till wednesday when I got my phone and set up the account. all messages prior to that date are not shown. neither in my trash, nor in any other folder. and I accidentally deleted a message and it is still there according to my web.de account, but my hd2 doesn't show the message anymore. is there something wrong with the way the hd2 flags messages in imap?
i actually rang up TMobile technical support to ask them what the proxy was for and why it is added in the auto config settings. they had no idea. they could only tell me what it was supposed to be, not why.
Seems like most programs prefer not having the TMobile proxy set.
Maybe there isn't any proxy necessary and it's a problem with the htc mail app itself. see my case above, that's surely not web.de problem but something wrong with the htc mail app. but I can't figure out what and why.
My outgoing mail server requires authentication (the incoming server doesn't). But it just won't work. I'm connecting through Wi-Fi and using the exact same settings as in Outlook. I always get the same error message (see screenshot).
I am entering the mail settings in Start/E-mail/Menu/Options not in Mail/Account Settings - which does not remember the authentication username and password (this is discussed in another thread).
This is driving me nuts. Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated.
Does anyone know anything about outgoing e-mail authentication?
Yes I have this problem to can any won help to shed some light on this subject
Im using about 20th ROM on my HD2 and there is no problem with SMTP authentication. Just only set CORRECT SMTP server name and login name and password. And it does work on GPRS, HSDPA, Active Sync, WIFI without problems... I dont understand what is your problem...

I am using the exact server name, login name and password that I am using in Outlook. I have checked it many times but it is still not working. I have tried it on Active Sync and WIFI.
On your screenshot is strange message. I think it try email send via data connection, not via AS. Is in your Active sync set that connection connects to internet?

My server supports PLAIN/PLAIN TEXT, CRAM-MD5 or DIGEST-MD5.
