Changing preconfigured e-mail settings on Treo 750v

Hi!
I picked up a used Treo 750v (on Vodafone) with a view to network-unlocking it to use with my exiting provider. However I think I've run up against a potential problem. Getting the Treo network-unlocked doesn't seem a issue, the codes are easy to come by for a small fee.
However on my XDA-Mini-S (Qtek 09100) which has never been locked to any network provider I'm able to specify server settings for Outlook mail, so for example I can use the excellent free push-email from mail2web.com which utilize MS Exchange servers.
I read somewhere that the Treo 750v is preconfigured with Vodafone server settings in this respect (yes, you can add additional POP3 and IMAP servers but not the ones typically used for MS Exchange servers in Outlook). Does anyone know if this is true and where I might hunt around on the Treo to try and find & edit these settings?
Many thanks all!
Steve

My 750v, did not come with any preset Exchange server, nor other e-mail settings. I purchased an unlocked 750V in the US, and i have changed server settings from Mail2web to Corporate servers without any issues.

ditto. i've got an unlocked vodafone 750 using push email from mail2web. you need to go into programs/ activesync to enter the server address etc.

Got it - thanks Mike.
I was initially mislead by a posting from an unlock-guy on eBay 'my service will unlock you from the network but not the preconfigured Vodafone e-mail & server settings'. Which I thought was a little odd but nothing mobile operators do surprises me hugely!
On the subject of unlocking - these guys worked fine for me and weren't the eBay people mentioned above. £11.99 UK.

A strange problem from mail2web (in wm6.0)

I just upgrade my palm 750 from wm5 to wm6.
In the past, I can sync my data and email everywhere with mail2web service.I feel happy.However it's too slow to pick up phone and hang up the call in wm5.0.
so I upgrade to wm6.0.it can solve them.but I got a big problem now.I can't use mail2web sync service.
I've according to its guide.
server: mobile.exchange.mail2web.com
user: myusername_mail2web.com
domain: ad2
(encrypted connection)
If I sync with encrypted connection(SSL),it will appear:
The security certificate on the server is not valid.Contact your Exchange Server administrator or ISP to install valid certificate on the server (Support Code:0X80072F06)
If no,it will appear:
You account in microsoft exchange server does not have permission to sync with your current setting. support code:0x85010004
And I also tried to get the certification from the server via "SslChainSaver.exe" and import all to my palm.
But it still can not work. I am so upset.please help me.

I use mail2web as well. Mine works fine.
You need different settings for WM6 than you have for WM5.
The username is not in the format: myusername_mail2web.com but is username_mailxxxx
It's explained on their site. My email settings then activesync settings I think.

Hi.I've tried to input as you said.but it can not work.
Have you import any certification on your device?

And their site said username_mail2web.com. it's very strange

I've not put any certification or anything on - just typed it in as instructed on their site and it worked with no problem.
Sorry can't help more.

Try this
Try this:
change your user: myusername_mail2web.com
to
[email protected]
use @ instead of _
no need to fill up "ad2" its automatic.
the setting on mail2web website is not always universal for some devices.
mine is works that way... Good Luck!

Is anyone having problems with Mail2Web over the past week?

I am having multiple problems with Mail2Web and I am looking for responses as to who is also experiencing the same.
1. Server Busy errors in ActiveSync on my Windows Mobile device(s).
2. "My Email Settings" in Mail2Web's OWA is not working or is extremely slow.
3. PST Exporting is not working.
I have three trouble tickets in with them for all of these problems and they are not being very helpful. This has been going on for a week now and I'm starting to get the impression that they don't care. I am a Personal Exchange paying customer.

I'm having problems receiving push email on a free account, but everything else seems to be working. It might have been after upgrading to WM 6.1 though, and not Mail2Web.

Same here.
Since some days it works only seldom.

I seem to be having the same problem. I just upgraded to WM 6.1 and I entered in my mail2web Personal Exchange info for ActiveSync, and it works only for downloading my messages onto my device. But I just tried to compose and send a new message using my device and it's just stuck at Connecting....
Any ideas?

If you guys are looking to switch...feel free to hit me up. I offer Exchange 2007 account. Feel free to take a look at the thread in my signature to see what I offer.

windows push email

I see from another posting in the diamond forum that people have managed to get BB Connect running on the diamond.
At the moment I use system7 on my nokia n95 to get email pushed from my work exchange server, however everyone else in the office has a blackberry (I didn't want one of these hence my finding an alternative solution).
does anyone have any experience of the direct push technology offered with windows mobile 6?
I might use the bbconnect application (if I can get it working) as it appears to do everything I want it to, but I just thought that if there's already an app in WM that does the trick, I might as well stick with that.

You say you have exchange at work?
The push email system will work just nicely with it, you might have to get onto your network admin and see if they offer activesync connection to it but its very likely they do. You sync your email, contacts, tasks and calender with it...works a treat.
I currently use DenaiL's service on here and it works very nicely...you should be up and running pretty swiftly if ur network admin confirms you can use it.
EDIT: Activesync is built into EVERY ROM in windows mobile and this is the primary way to sync the device over the air (via GPRS/HSDPA or wifi to get push email) or via USB.

we have exchange server at work, but I doubt they'll let me add any software (activesync) to it.
Exchange already has the software needed in it, its a native function of exchange to allow a windows mobile device to sync with it.

EAS is a native part of exchange, but it is turned off by default i think.
I know my place have it turned off, despite all the company mobile supporting EAS, and all the employees using HTC devices that natively support it.
Go figure.
I think they want to save a couple of hundred of quid on a certificate, and spend thousands of pounds on corporate intellisync licenses instead.

so my company would have to invest in a new license to enable EAS?
I'm pretty sure they would have to buy a license to allow me to use BBConnect too? I know that we are running 5 or 6 BBs in the company, each one requiring a license....or have I been misled?
thanks, I really want to ensure that my push email will work perfectly on the device when I get it.

I dont own a HTC Touch Diamond or a Touch Pro. I own a HTC Touch and use Hosted Exchange as my primary email service provider. I use the direct-push technology in WM6 and sync with my exchange account. It works like a charm and I have yet to experience any problems with it. I get my email on my Touch within 10 seconds of receiving the email in my inbox.
Memory fades about Exchange 2003, however, I *think* Exchange direct-push is enabled by default on Exchange 2007. Someone please correct me if I am wrong.

Exchange 2003 w/ SP2 automatically enabled Direct-Push. Same w/ all flavors of 2007. With Exchange 2007, admins DO need to enable Active Sync, but they can do it on a user by user basis if they want to. It shouldn't be a big deal for your IT admins to turn it on for you. Hope this helps.

excellent, thanks for the replies. We are running 2003 SP2, so hopefully in a few days time I might have proper push email. the app I'm currently running (system7) is totally crap at the moment..had nothing pushed for nearly a week!!

Enterprise Activation On Andriod

Let me first apologize if this is a question which has been discussed at length in another area.
My company currently uses blackberrys with an enterprise exchange e-mail system (i suppose that is called BES with blackberrys, no?). Anyway, on my old blackberry, all I had to do was put in my corporate e-mail and an enterprise activation password. From there the setup would do the rest. Is there any way to get my new MyTouch phone to get hooked into the system the same way my blackberry was? Cost is irrelevant, I just want to find a solution.
I have looked at software options (i.e. touchdown, and the work email program) with no luck.
Thanks for any help the community could offer!

Sorry I got no answer, but this is ment to be posted in the general discussion:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=492
Reported

BES servers users BES accounts and they link are like this:
Blackberry <-> BES <-> Exchange
In Android, iPhone or Windows Mobile, you need your NT IAccount credentials as you communicate directly throw your phone to the Exchange server, like this:
Device <-> Exchange
So, probably what you need is:
-Name of the server (sometimes is the OWA(Outlook Web Access) address)
-Credentials (Sometimes is needed to have in your NT Account credentials for that, in the company I'm, we call it Active Sync Access).
-Username, Network login (NT ID)
-Domain
-Password
And... yeahhh this is general!!!

Interesting.. so I believe I have everything outside the credentials part. If I have my old blackberry and my work laptop, can I obtain all the information to set up the MyTouch? If so, do you know how?
Thanks a bunch!
-Ryan

Ryan, what I tried to explain to you is that the BES (Blackberry Enterprise Server) account, you can only use to your Blackberry. Any of the information there, except the e-mail address you'll use to configure your exchange account in an Android phone.
There's also other issue, not all exchange accounts will be working with the normal exchange e-mail feature on the Android, the to the security policies of some companies.
I can help you configure that, no prob man.. This is the list of things that you need to ask your IT department on your company:
- Username
- Password (will be the same as your e-mail)
- Domain
- Server address (in some cases are the same as the webmail address (OWA - Outlook Web Access).
P.S.: Ask them if this access force security features on your phone. If it does, Android phones haven't passwords to unlock and won't match the requirements for having this feature on your phone. You'll need to download a program for that (I don't remember what was that, but in the general section, you'll find as other person indicated me).
And you'll be set...
My best regards,
R

you need to also make sure that on your exchange account, they have Microsoft Activesync enabled on your account in order to allow mobile devices other than blackberry's can access corporate emails. you need to ask your admin on this part.
