Might help!
Good luck!

Hi,
forget the native MS Push, try OLX Mobile Access from www.gangl.de. Been using this since 2005 and had no probs at all. Absolutely recommended !

This really depends how you want to sync your e-mail. If you want Push, you will need to have exhange server 2003 with SP2 install and have WM5 with Push technology. If you just want to download e-mail everytime you connect your device to the internet, you can do it with any version of exchange 2003 and almost any version of windows mobile.
Also, to get e-mail directly fro your exchange server will depends on your server settings. But you will at least require the following informaton:
1) Server address
2) Username (this does not necessary be the same as your e-mail address, it is the actual username that let you log onto exchange server. Usually it will be the same username as your Outlook Web Access for Exchange 2003)
3) Password (for the above username)
4) Domain (this domain is necessary or else your pocket pc will not be able to access the proper location where your e-mail is located)
Once you have all of the above information, you can either set it up on Active Sync on your PC or on your PPC. To do it on PPC, open Active Sync, Menu, Configure Server... enter all of the above information (remember to click SSL encryted if your server is encryted {most likely it will be}). Then go back to Active Sync, Menu, Options... change all of the data that you want to get from exchange server (ie: Contacts, Calendar, etc). Now you are all set. You just need to connect your device to the internet, open Active Sync, click on the Sync button, it will automatically fetch the information from your server. For Push to work, simply leave your internet connect open, go to your Comm Manager, make sure the Push symbol is Green (or On). Your e-mail will automatically be downloaded to your PPC once it arrive to the server. I will not leave Push on if you are using GPRS or HSDPA as e-mail send to your mobile device will not have been SPAM filtered (unless your server admin has the SPAM filter turn on but it is unlikely as this will restriction user control, normally SPAM is filter by client software like Office on PC), so your internet connect charges can ge quite big!
Anyway, hope this will help. Ciao.

One more note, if you are using Vista, it is about 100 times easier... you just need to have your Microsoft Office Outlook setup to connect to your Exchange server and it will automatically know what settings needed to put onto your pocket PC :O)
And setting it up on Outlook could be quite easy as well if your Exchange Server has auto-configure utilities to download (ie: allow you to download the .prf files for your account profile and you can just import that to Outlook and everything will be automatically setup.). Hope this help and not too too complicated for you.

Hi folks,
you don't need exchange. Although i have one, i mentioned OLX Mobile Access which also supports MS Outlook without Exchange, it's called OLX Mobile Access Personal. You can download a 30 days trial.
And you should, for this one is really cool. It even supports Outlook Notes !
Setup and configuration is in english, so don't mind the german website.

WM5 - Direct Push - SSL & certificate

Hello,
I would like to have your experience feedbacks about Direct Push and SSL under WM5.
I have my own authority of certification (Windows 2003 Server) and I generated the root certificate and installed this one in the terminal.
But activesync does not function (error 8001014). Lot of articles covers the subject, how to add certificates root, the activesync errors, but nothing goes. I spent already much time on the subject.
Then I decided to contact Microsoft. The answer is surprising: Microsoft use direct push with HTTP and not with https (strange isn't it ?)
Here their answer: "Indeed, we have in-house HTC but we pass in HTTP and not in https… If not, WM5 in SSL functions and all the incidents which I saw relate to WM5 and not WM6 and the resolution were to pass in HTTP "
I have create this post to know if somebody made a success of this exploit or if it is really impossible...
Thanks in advance
PS: Does WM6 works with SSL/Direct Push/Own certificate ?

Anyone Please ?

I am using SSL over WM6 right now. What I did was I renamed my *.crt file to *.cer and then put it into the mobile phone and clicked on it to install the certificate. After that I can use SSL over Exchange.

Do you have FormBased Authentication enabled? If so; read this: http://www.petri.co.il/problems_with_forms_based_authentication_and_ssl_in_activesync.htm
And perform option 3. I'm running Exchange 2003 with SLL and Form Based Authentication enabled, and having pushmail.

I am not exactly using Exchange Server but something similar. It is a software by Kerio called Kerio Mail Server. It has push mail features and many other features that exchange lack. Setup is very simpler for me on Kerio than on Exchange but the procedure for setting up Push Mail is very simple: go into your pocket pc, setup the server information and ssl if using it. Then download the certificate from the kerio mail server and rename the file from *.crt to*.cer for windows mobile to be able to install it. Then once it is installed, you can sync and receive mail on pocket pc using push mail. I am not familiar with Form Based Authentication and I think it has no relationship with Push Mail unless you are using it without SSL. I don't think you can use Form Based Authentication since there is only SSL option in the pocket pc. Hope this helps!

I don't know what Georgeot uses for mail. I assumed he used Exchange. And with exchange there is a problem with the ActiveSync, FormBased Authentication and SSL on one computer.

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?

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!

[Q] LG Optimus7 (?) Outlook (?) Bug

Hi everyone!
I'm trying to configure Outlook client with my company account, running Exchange 2007 SP2.
However, due to server configuration and presumably either a wp7 bug and specifically Optimus7 bug, I can not set the correct login data.
In fact my server requires this kind of login:
Code:
DOMAIN\Surname[space]Name
while Optimus7 does not allow to type [space] in the login form!!!
I'm not the domain administrator and I have no chance to manage server-side Exchange settings.
I tried to login both with email and surname.name <- this is the real cn value), with no success: maybe ISA blocks all different login attempts not matching DOMAIN\Surname[space]Name values.
I will appreciate who can help me.

Hi Guys,

i read some threads saying we need to install a certificate in the mobile in order to access secure business email. Can anyone list me which certificate to install and how to get that.
Thanks for your time.

I think Business Outlook installs the certificate on it's own with the password lock etc and enforces the security policies.
My business outlook is set with following details:
Username - the one I use to log in
Password - the one I use for my username
Email ID - the business email address
Domain - your business domain that is generally a prefix to your username i.e. domain/username
Server address: if domain/username can't automatically find it. (mostly it does!)
That's it! It took Outlook literally 2 seconds on 3g network to find the server and start pulling my calendar, emails and contacts.
