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.

Just purchased this device on the advice from the shop that it performs push email. Of course, when I call Customer Services they deny this; SMS text messaging at best. Have I been sold a pup? :evil:
push-email? what would that be like? someone writes you a message and you get it instatly as with ICQ without your device checking emails every second?
AFAIK non of the comon email protocols incorporate such a thing. email is a asynchronous way of communication.
you might want to try msn messenger or any other IM instead.. but don't forget you have to be connected to the internet all the time (which of course is a must, if you want to use any ip-based service at all..)
even if your provider (and the phone) supported wap-push (as in WAP 2.0), you'd have to be connected..
AFAIK, SMS is usually the only "connectionless" push-messenger for mobile phones

It can have the Blackberry client installed on it, which is push email, but as far as I know, T-Mob only supply this for corporate users that have a Blackberry server, they don't do the desktop pop/imap client that runs on your PC from what I have been told.
ah, didn't know about that.... but i guess the blackberry has to either still be connected all the time to the internet or the service provider hast do add some new services on his side too?...
maybe your guy at the store mixed it up with the Motorola MPx, which according to a press release will have that feature (using the blackberry technology) ... and the MPx 220 or something like that should have it too..

I think I remember hearing somewhere that the latest version of MS Exchange can do push e-mail... it works something like the exchange server sends an sms when you get an e-mail and that causes the device (whether it's a XDAIIs or whatever else that is running WM) to connect and download the new e-mail.... never seen it working or anything tho so that could be rubbish...
Perhaps they were simply referring to POP3 through GPRS?? Or maybe just something that they once heard someone say and thought they could repeat to sound knowledgeable!!
Have any of you gotten either of these companies Corporate Email programs working on a Domino environment??
I have the BlueAngel with the WM5.0 and at work use Lotus Notes, I am a T-Mobile user and have the corporate account but the Secure Mail Client will not work because my user name is different from my email address.
Any help would be appreciated
Hey all,
I own a Wizard (8125), which I switched from a BB 8700c and then thought I had made a dear mistake.
But until recently, I found out that's not the case. DirectPush is a blessing. It works even better than when I had GoodLink! (and GLA is proprietary, and doesn't aggregate my existing e-mail accounts)
Are there any others who let go of their crackberry just like i did? I'd like to know!
8125 problems
I gave up the 7100g to be the crash test dummy for our company on the 8125.
So far it has been a disaster! I welcome any and all suggestions on configuration. I have SIM/CID unlocked, and have since changed from Summiter's 2.3 to the recently released Cingular 2.25 yesterday. I am in an outsourced corporate exchange 2003 sp2 environment (provider is usa.net).
They(usa.net) have assured me that my account is properly provisioned for Outlook Mobile Access. I have the correct server address, ssl checked, correct user name and password (obviously) and correct domain.
I was getting a message to correct my exchange server password, that has gone away. Now activesync begins synchronizing and then returns to the Comm Manager app with the activesync button disabled (activesync error code 0x80004004)
I have an opportunity to save the company $15 per month, per device if I can pull this off. That's a savings of over $30,000 this year alone!
Help Please!
You could try to setup a free account with mail2web.com and see if you can get that to work for you, If that does work you would be able to go back to your other provider with some confidence that the problem is on their end.
just a thought.
Mail2Web direct push works fine... no exchange
do I need a certificate installed on the 8125 for my OWA site (exchange.usa.net)?
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?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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!
I'm having a hard time understanding why European GPRS vendors make a distinction between email, internet, and WAP services, and consequently I don't know what service to ask for when I purchase a PAYG SIM when I travel.
My primary GPRS interest is
SMTP for the handset's email client for IMAP (both google and exchange server accounts)
ActiveSync for contacts/calendar synchronization.
RSS reading, resulting in some cases some podcast downloading
Tethering via WMWiFiRouter
as you can see, i'm not a big HTML user, if at all.
What key terms and phrases should I look out for in the service descriptions in order to get the right internet service I need?
A specific example would be the ambiguity Vodafone Romania has between the email mobile vs internet mobile descriptions and the related APN differences "live.vodafone.com" and "internet.vodafone.com".
Also, for some reason T-Mobile UK is not included in the excellent list given over in the thread GPRS/Internet Connection Settings for the whole world thread. seems like it should be on page 4 but it's not. any reason for that, and does anyone know the APN settings for TMO/UK?
Lastly, what is an example of a WAP service?
Thanks in advance.
there is no universal answer to this
they made a big mess of it indeed. want to trick customers
wap service:
in most cases it won't let you out of vendor's special web page. there you have access to services to check your credit, payments, company info, some ringtone, music shops... mostly useless stuff.
ah and with windows mobile, there is no official way of setting it up. you can use 'work' and set some rules for wap.* ....anyway, you don't want that.
email:
in most cases this service will allow you to access only email on vendor's server.
e.g. [email protected]
in another case you'll have POP, IMAP, SMTP and maybe activesync allowed and web browsing limited to vendor's address.
yet another case is your data plan is small, means you'll pay for 1MB more
for rss you would need full internet anyway.
in general, if you have "internet" service, it have everything in it.
