So I got my shadow and knew I would have to configure a proxy in order to allow the phone to access the internet without the total internet plan. I have been using the t-zones in this fashion for a long time (teathered laptop, PPC etc). I searched for the proper settings for the proxy on the shadow and got it all entered in. Pretty much everything seems to be working now except the Live messenger and the other live services. I've got opera, and all the other messenger programs working so I don't understand why Live won't. Is there another setting that I am missing or is is just blocked by the Proxy? I'd appreciate any help I could get with this. Thanks!

Hey guys.....
I read in another post that https is supported by the xdaII but it didnt say whether it was through GPRS.
The reason I ask .... I have to purchase 3 pda/phones and this looks ideal.......if I can connect through GPRS connection to the https exchange server and send recieve emails.
Thanks in advance.

Scarper, I run my own little mail server at home which has a https web frontend in addition to serving POP & IMAP requests. I can access my mailbox on XDA2 via GPRS through the https frontend. Transport-wise I can safely say you should be able to access MS Exchange mailboxes via https. Question is what frontend would you be hitting? OWA? These things are rarely designed for the 240x320 screen size & GPRS bandwidth. You may find that access is unbearably slow or generally unusable due to UI limitations. Last but not least, if OWA uses any ActiveX components not supported on Pocket Internet Exporer you may still be out of luck. Hope this helps. Let us know how you go. Best of luck.
thanks for quick reply k_kirk .....
It will be going through OWA, now i have a dell axim connected to my home network and it uses owa to my work email no problem so i am guessing there will be no software issue.....I realise the speed through gprs will be slow but as long as it work I dont mind that.
Anyone else had an experience with this....comment or thoughts appreciated
Thanks again.
Scarper
Hi there. You are most welcome. This is most encouraging. An option you may want to try is fronting it via terminal services and access via the terminal services client on the PPC. This may give you a slight improvement in performance depending how heavy OWA is. Just a thought. Will wait to hear about your experiences. Regards
@scarper: What did you do for getting OWA to work via PIE?
Besides the scrolling you have to do on the MDAII,
I CAN get in, but once I want to open any email, it just doesnt repond . . .
edsub I am using a dell axim at the moment....I didnt do anything special just logged in and apart from all the scrolling it works......I dont know why or if it is supposed to......but it does.....so I am not complaining. Just as long as the xdaII works on it too, or I'll be in trouble because we have just ordered three xdaII's for use on the road for email.
If you want to know anymore info like settings in IE I would be willing to answer as best I can.
Cheers

I am surprised they block voip and messaging traffic or warn you you could be blocked.
Using MSN does not use much band width and the phone is supplied with MSN. What if your company use Exchange instant messaging.
or the new MS Office communicator.
Anyone know of anyone thats been cut.
I assume if you vpn to your office first then use voip/messaging it is harder for them to detect as the traffic will be encrypted.
I have done some searching, and have not found anything that really answers my questions. I have an HTC-P4300 and am using the Jbed MIDlet manager (same behavior with TAO). Opera Mini runs great and works fine through the system set GPRS (Edge) proxy. As expected, it also works fine when I have my connection set to "My ISP" and connected via WiFi.
My problem is with the Gmail MIDlet. It works fine in the later configuration using WiFi. It can't connect when my phone is configured to use the proxy (port 80) with GPRS. From what I can tell the MIDlet should only need http and/or https access. I can log into gmail using a browser without problems. I assume there is something going on behind the scenes I don't know about... What am I missing? Shouldn't this MIDlet be able to work with a proxy?
Any help would be wonderful! Thanks in advance and have a GREAT day!

same is happening with me
Well, I haven't found anywhere that will state it directly, including on Google's help groups, but I am guessing their new java app uses IMAP to connect to their servers. In short I don't think this will ever work with a proxied network connection. That is a true bummer!
Anyone have their old MIDlet laying around I could try? Thanks for the help!

hello guys, if first like to start off by saying that i did try searching but was unable to find a solution. I currently have my email address at msn.com. I'd like to be able to access my email and recieve notifications of new emails on my phone.i realize that windows live program does not work with the tmobile proxy, so i found a program that forwards email from msn to gmail.com so i figured id use outlook to check my forwarded email, but outlook wont connect through the proxy. what im asking now is whether theres a program out there that allows me to check my email (msn.com or gmail.com) through the tmobile proxy? thanks in advance and all answers are appreciated.

I think you might be a little mistaken. The 5.99 T-mobile plan includes unlimitted free e-mail. As long as your outlook e-mail uses a standard port (which gmail does), then you don't need to use any sort of proxy or anything to get it to work, it just works.
If you do have the proxy set up, then you would need to make a second wap profile that circumvents the proxy.
Hey guys,
I use a Touch HD on T-Mobile basic web'n'walk, now I've heard many times that you can't use MSN or Skype or even FTPs. However the windows live on the phone functions perfectly, this is not the case though when I use it as a modem for my laptop.
So Basically I was wondering if there is a work around to get it to work on a laptop or computer as it works on the phone. Maybe a proxy or tunnel could do it?
Lastly if the above isn't possible what is the best web-based msn client? At the moment I use meebo and MSN web-messenger but I'm looking for something more developed than that.
Thanks in advance.
Bump - someonemust have an idea on this.
