Pocket MSN did not come preloaded on my PPC device (Verizon w/EVDO),
so I purchased it for $19 based upon M$'s
representation that it would automatically retrieve new messages as
long as I stay signed in to the Messenger portion of the application.
Well, that doesn't seem to be the case. I only get my messages once
per session -- immediately upon signing into Messenger. After that,
Messenger continues to indicate that I am "online" but no new email
messages are received. I have to manually sign out and the sign back
in again for the messages to come through.
Does anyone have any answers as to how I can get this thing working?
It would be much appreciated.

Hello Everyone,
I have a T-Mobile USA SDA and had a problem with emails on the device.
Not sure if it is working as designed or if there was a blug, so I thought I would float it by you guys.
Setup:
Mail client on T-Mobile USA SDA
Configured manually to check pop and send smtp with my gmail account. It is set such that the message headers are downloaded first.
I connect WIFI and send/recieve
I receive a header I had sent myself for testing
I click on it and select to download the message body.
I go back to the inbox.
I do send and receive.
I receive the message body.
I read it.
I go back to the inbox.
I do send and recieve.
Result:
The message is removed without a trace. it is not put into deleted items folder, nor does it remain in the inbox folder.
Is this expected behavior? I am not allowed to store mail on my device? Is there a registry setting to change this behavior? There is no options within the application. Is there a registry setting to change wheremails are stored in general? thanks for seeing the barrage of questions!
Yes I got the same result with you. Mine is a Dopod 577w (Tornado in Taiwan). This behaviour also happens to other mail servers.
ni hao,
I had searched a bit about it and found some places explain it. The explanation sounds weak, but it looks like something we will have to live with until either gmail or ms changes their server or client software.

The problem is with the default behaviour of Gmail - it will "hide" all the
already-downloaded mail. Unfortunately, it seems not even now that the beta
phase is long over can you effectively override this behaviour - the POP3
radio buttons just don't stick in the Settings window.
Therefore, the best solution IMHO is switching to an alternative e-mail
client that doesn't remove the messages that are not available online any
more from the local view. The alternative mailer clients FlexMail and Qmail
are like so - see the row "Does it only display mail that is still on the
server? " in the comparison chart of my mailer client roundup at
http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=569&more=1 . Of the two,
FlexMail offers scheduling capabilities.
PocketPC MAG:
Does it only display mail that is still on the server? : one of the most-criticized problems with Messaging is that it does not show older messages (messages that have been deleted in the meantime) in the Inbox unless you explicitly (mass-)move them to a separate folder. As can be seen, it's, in addition to Messaging, only nPOPw that deletes the messages from the local view that don't exist on the server any more. The other mailer applications don't.
I might just write a pop/smtp client software myself. Much easier to tweak it to do what I need it to do, and in my previous job I worked for an email client so I know those protocols well. I probably won't add advanced functionality or IMAP/Exchange, because I have no individual use for those.
Very Useful info.
My current solution to this issue is Outlook & ActiveSync. Just download your mail to PC and sync. Mail in mobile Outlook account will not disappear unless you delete them.
By the way, I think Gmail mobile website is also okay for mail browsing & composing.
(it is not a good experience posting reply here using Pocket IE)
I'd like to write a mail client using .NET CF just for fun if I have time. I'm not a C++ guy.
Is anyone familiar with problems with Gmail? (gmail account under messaging)
Last week I added my gmail account to WM6 Messaging, which worked fine.
Today I wanted to do a clean install and removed my google account from messaging. But when adding my gmail account again, it does not show any emails anymore in my gmail inbox folder.
It is logging on and checking the email headers, when clicking on send/receive. I also am able to send email from my universal
I have the "WM6PRO_Business_AKU_0.7" from Laurentius&Beast installed (WM6PROBUSSINESSVC_V3)
Is there a way to "really" clean my universal (ie clean cache, folders, etc) I cannot find the folders where this emails are stored
If you are able to receive new e-mail messages on your device, your "problem" has to do with your Gmail account settings. Send a test message to yourself from another address and see if you can receive it. If you do receive it and you are certain that you want to download again all of your previous messages, login to your Gmail account, go to Settings -> Forwarding and POP and select "Enable POP for all mail (even mail that's already been downloaded)".
Most likely that should get you back your inbox (unless you had opted to delete downloaded messages after a certain period).

When changing gmail settings to POP for all mail, it starts checking, then it receives a few old messages, which also shows up in my inbox. But when it finish send/receive, the messages disappear again. It also does not receive/show new messages.
Is there a way to clear messaging cache/setting completely (i have tried deleting my gmail account several times)
OK, I created a new Gmail account and did some tests. These are my findings:
1) In Gmail's POP settings if you set it to keep a copy of the downloaded message in your inbox, your messages never get deleted on the WM6 mail client.
2) If you set it to archive downloaded messages, all mail that has been moved from inbox to the archives gets deleted on the Universal.
3) If you set the mail client to download only a part of the message (say 2K), messages that are above that limit don't get archived (probably because they are never completely downloaded).
4) Any messages that were below the specified size to be downloaded, stayed in my device's inbox, even after they were archived in Gmail.
I suppose that if you want to be able to see all your messages on your Universal you should move them from the archives to your Gmail's inbox, set Gmail to keep downloaded messages in its inbox and re-enable the POP setting for all mail.
Try that and tell us how it goes.
I just tried it with a other gmail account, which works perfectly on my universal.
Also with a pop client on my pc (on same network) receives messages and shows them.
Messages that were download were not archived (gmail is setup to keep an email copy in the inbox). They were still visible in gmail webmail. I'f tried several settings, but no improvement on my universal :-(
When clicking on the send/receive button, it displays "checking message [number]/362" So it looks to me the device thinks it already has the messages in his inbox. But the device also does also not see new messages.
Just a thought:
In my test account I had about 30 e-mails, varying in size from 1KB to 12MB. The first time I pressed the "Send/Receive" button, "checking message 1/30" was displayed for quite some time until it started downloading messages. Same thing when I deleted some messages and added some new ones: "checking message 8/17" was displayed for about two minutes before it actually downloaded something.
Perhaps the number and size of e-mail messages you have is overwhelming to the device and it needs a lot of time to process them?

Hi there,
I had the same "problem" some time back.
Through google I found that all mail that has been downloaded ones by a mobile or maybe even by pop method, this mail will NEVER again be send when trying to download, even when your device is renamed etc. or even another device.
I did find one "sollution"
When you add recent before your email accountname, like "recent:[email protected]" you will ALWAYS receive the last 30days of history of emails.
(also handy, if you use more than one mobile device and or pop mail program, because you will always receive your mail on both !)
greetings,
Wout

Ok, thanks I will try that. (When setting up the gmail account again, it automaticcaly says the "recent" accountname. Untill now I just removed the it
Just tried it, and it works. Thanks all for your help!
I have tried setting up the wm6.1 pocket outlook to fetch emails from out Zimbra email server (Zimbra Mobile provides an Exchange interface compatible with pocket outlook). It works: POutlook fetches the email headers and notifices me. So far so good.
The problem arises when I want to read the full email. I can find no possible way in Pocket Outlook that allows me to fetch the full email. In the menu I found "Fetch Message" but it was grayed (which I found odd as only the header was fetched).
Does anyone know anything about this issue/problem?
It seems this problem only occurs if POutlook is configured to fetch only email headers. If it is configured to fetch part of the email body as well, a "Download the rest of this email" button is inserted at the bottom of the email body which when clicked, will in fact download the rest of the email. Why M$ decided that this buttom wasn't necessary when nothing of the email body was fetched I cannot grasp.
So the solution is to have POutlook always download part of the email body and you get the option to download the rest. Otherwise you have to use IMAP or POP3 instead.
Hi all,
I'm a new Aria user on ATT (everything still completely stock and vanilla) and I've pretty much got everything setup for Exchange access via ActiveSync. I am able to set the HTC e-mail client to receive HTML formatted messages from our Exchange server. However, I get a fair number of basic plain text e-mails; i.e., there is no HTML information at all in the message body. When I open any message that happens to be plain text only, the e-mail client shows a blank message on open. I'm guessing it's because the application is looking for HTML information, and it finds none. Regardless of message type (HTML or plain text or both), I always see the subject header no problem. If there is an attachment to the plain text e-mail, then I do see the attachment itself, but nothing else of the message body. If I change the message format setting to be Plain Text instead, messages that have already been sync'ed (using the HTML setting) are still blank, but new plain text messages are fine.
EDIT: Some additional info. I'm using Kerio MailServer as my Exchange Server. I have version 6.6 of Kerio, so I had to use the "allow unsupported devices" setting to get the account setup. As a test, I changed my Exchange ActiveSync setup to point to my gmail account; using that server, plain text messages sent to the account are displayed, and they appear to be using some kind of HTML formatting. I don't have a proper MS Exchange server to test out more fully. At this point, it looks to be more of a server issue than a mail client issue, but maybe a little of both. If anyone uses Kerio MailServer, I'd appreciate any tips or experience.
I haven't tried some of the other e-mail clients available; it seems like they all have their ups and downs. I have done a decent amount of searching, but did not find much on this specific issue. Is this problem a known issue (or can anyone replicate it), and is there any chance of fixing it? My preference would be to continue using the stock e-mail app, using the HTML format setting for ActiveSync e-mails, but actually be able to read plain text e-mails!
Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions,
JEBroussard
