Web Mail

I use 0845 dial e-mail which I access either through Outlook Express or the web based version on the Internet.
I am able to go to the log-in screen on my XDA but, when I put in my log-in details, I am not able to log-in.
Can I set my by webmail on the PDA?

Try this:
www.mail2pda.com
I use it, quick and safe.

thank you - will it enable me to use my current e-mail address or do I need to set up a new address?

In principle you need only your existing email address; the system will detect the pop3 parameters to read/write through your account.
If your provider is not so "famous" you may need to manually put the pop3 settings in.

How to configure the ports used in POP3/SMTP

My e-mail server uses non-standard ports for POP3 and SMTP access.
In all the mail clients, like Outlook and Outlook Express, this is easily configurable, but I couldn't find how to configure it in my QTEK 8300 / Tornado with WM5. Is it possible ?
If the feature is not available from the client's interfase, perhaps modifying the registry...?
Any help?
Thank You.

To set up a non-standard port, all you have to do is this:
pop.whatever.com:###
Add :[PORT NUMBER] at the end of your POP and SMTP server addresses and that should do the trick.

Yahoo/Optimum Online E-mail Through outlook

I can set up both my Optimum Online and Yahoo Mail accounts in Mobile Outlook to receive e-mail but I cannot send in either. Both I just entered in my e-mail and let it find the settings.
I do know that optimum online has blocked port 25 so on my desktop I have to use port 597. Maybe that has to do with it but how would I do that on the mobile?!
When setting up yahoo, it gave me these for incoming and outgoing:
Incoming: imap.mail.yahoo.com
Outgoing: smtp.mobile.mail.yahoo.com
I left all settings to how they were configured from the autoconfig.
If someone needs me to list those other settings, let me know.
Thanks, help is greatly appreciated!!

put a colon after the IP or DNS name and then the port number, such as this example:
www.somewebsite.com:23432 would connect to port 23432 instead of the default. This worked for me when I setup Gmail.

Awesome, I was going to try that but among all the crazy cramming for my physics exam I forgot! Thanks that solves the optonline e-mail problem.
This also worked for yahoo!! I'm excited. Thanks!

Outlook Mobile shows incorrect Exchange "from" email address

HTC Fuze with EnergyROM 24.Dec.2009 WWE WM6.5 build 21885.5.0.95.
After upgrading from the stock AT&T WM6.1 ROM to a stable EnergyROM, I configured my corporate Exchange email account. Sync works fine. But when creating a new message in Outlook Mobile, the "from" address is incorrect. My address should be [email protected]. Instead, it shows [email protected]. See screenshot (oldcompany name redacted). I examined my Active Directory record through Outlook 2007 GAL. It includes eight SMTP addresses that have been used over the past 15 years, through an acquisition and eventual migration from Notes. This d244d55 address is not the first listed, but is coincidentally the first alphabetically.
I sent a test message to various other email accounts and the "from" shows properly, so the Exchange server must be substituting my correct email address. But this is annoying and I would like to fix it. I cannot find any way to configure the "from" address for my Exchange connection configured through ActiveSync. I searched the registry and the only place dd244d55 appears follows. I deleted the dd244d55 address from this value, soft-reset, but still no joy. I did confirm that dd244d55 is no longer in the registry.
Key: HKCU\Software\Microsoft\ActiveSync\Partners\<GUID>
Value: Email Address
Data: [list of SMTP addresses separated by semicolons]
How do I fix this? Consider directing me to a better forum since this is certainly not Raphael specific. Unfortunately searching for resolution is handicapped because the word "from" is overused. Thanks for your assistance.

Assuming you deleted and recreated the Activesync relationship and wiped the phone:
This could be a time-consuming war that ends up to be impossibile to fix. Don't let it turn into a crusade! Just from an "eff it" standpoint, which I usually take:
Kill ALL the garbage addresses. Everything that isn't necessary.
What's the worst that can happen? I obviously don't know who you are and what possible types of emails could be sent to any of your 15 years worth of addresses. If no one is going to die, the simplest solution is often the correct and best solution. I'm sure you spent enough time on this already.

Kill ALL the garbage addresses.

I assume you mean to delete the addresses from my Active Directory entry and then delete/recreate the ActiveSync partnership with Exchange. I was thinking along the same lines. I don't need any of the extra addresses but they might be there to support non-repudiation of historical approval records in corporate information systems. I don't have permissions to do modify AD myself but I will ask our IT support folks to do so.
I am sure this problem has been encountered before but don't know where to seek assistance. Having multiple SMTP addresses in an AD record is not unusual. I bet there is an easy way to specify the correct address for the ActiveSync partnership "from" email.

Success. My "from" address is now correct when creating new emails. My corporate IT support deleted a bunch of SMTP addresses from my AD entry. I can't see exactly which ones are left because AD changes take a while to propagate through to the cached Outlook address book. I deleted/recreated the ActiveSync partnership and the "from" email shows correctly now.
One other difference: The first time I specified my email address and password and let WM autoconfigure the connection. It ended up using my email address as the username and left the domain blank. This time I disabled autoconfiguration and manually specified the server name and my credentials (username/domain). This probably had nothing to do with the problem because both formats are valid AD credentials.

Help setting up exchange/mail

Hi, I'm a noob. I have a work email that I think uses exchange (it's a big corporation and we have outlook/entourage in the offices). I can also access my email from anywhere via https://webmail.*****.com/
I can't figure out how to sync my mail app with that email. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try the "Exchange by TouchDown", I'm sure will help

Are you using the default Froyo Email app? or something else?
your username/password combo should be your normal login credentials to login to the webmail service. If your company requires you to append the domain to the user name then it will look like this: domain\username
The server address will be the url of the webmail service for OWA. You may need to also allow all SSL connections for this to work properly.
Hope that helps.

there also is a chance that your company has not provisioned you for Exchange ActiveSync. If none of the above work, give your IT department a call and verify that youre mailbox is enabled for EAS

in the default htc app choose for exchange and put these exactly like underneath
e-mail adres [email protected]
server adres webmail.*****.com
password the password you use to log in to webmail
yes, your server requires an encrypted ssl connection
No domain name is required!!!

Hm. I tried everything above and still cant get it to work. Will talk to IT, thanks guys!
