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!

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

Hi!
When I have my PDA connected to my PC using bluetooth and activesync, I can use the Internet connection of the pc directly from my PDA. For instance I can launch Mobile IE and visit a web page.
However I cannot use the Voip function of my PDA. The Today plug-in shows 'No service' status for my voip configuration (if I connect to Internet using WiFi, Voip works).
In the beginning I thought that ActiveSync only allows port 80 (HTTP) access. However I can also download or send e-mail messages using POP3/SMTP which use different ports.
Do you have any idea if I can also use Voip over the Internet connection shared by activesync?
Ha ha, good attention, however estimate should be be subjected to limiting of.The Voip used when Voip perhaps can'ted use "unit constitution"

The original question has not been answered, so I ask again.

I assume this is down to the NAT implementation on the Host PC and/or Windows Mobile 6.x not actually allowing this anyway - the PDA to PC uses the autoconfig IP network 169.254.0.0/16, all connections from the PDA are proxied via the host PC. I have just captured the traffic flow using WireShark from the host PC out (i.e. not the PDA to PC link) to see what is sent when the SIP client is started (Internet Calling). I can see the initial DNS lookup for the SIP server host (in my case 'sip.btsip.bt.net') which gets a valid reply, however there are no more packets transmitted from the host PC.
If I capture on the PDA-to-PC link (USB) I can see the DTPT protocol (DeskTop PassThrough protocol) which although WireShark understands it isn't very intuitive. I can see a 'QuerySet' with the DNS name embedded (sip.btsip.bt.net) but there is little else.
I really don't think ActiveSync is capable of doing this and to be honest I don't think the Windows Mobile is even trying. I have captured several conversations over WiFi when I first got the SIP client working and the conversation I am seeing here is nothing like them.

fring works! windows 7 & wm 6.1
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!
Hello All,
Does anyone have suggestions for a good sip/voip app for XDAndroid?
I use SipGo under WinMO and works perfect on my HTC Touch -CDMA- phone.
I have an asterisk server setup at home that uses Google Voice as the trunk,FYI.
I have tried Fring,that has no provisions for entering an server address. Sipdroid hanged bad. The closest I have come is CSimpleSip,,,but only works on my lan. Will NOT work outside of lan. As though it is not able to traverse nat,possibly? This same scenario happens when trying to use the native sip client under WinMo. Will work on lan but not out on the internet
Thank You,
Barry

Sipdroid works great for me. I tried CSimpleSip but it killed my battery. Check the Android Market for more Sip Clients, but those two were the best IMO.
I'm looking for a mail client (for android obviously) where I can set a proxy.
I need to use a proxy to connect to the company exchange server. I could set the the proxy for all of my internet traffic but I don't really care for the idea to route all my data through the company proxy.
Allready looked at K-9 and Kaiten but couldn't find any proxy settings.
"Enhanced Email" by Quantum Apps says it can run pop/imap mail service. Ask on their support forum if its proxies are configurable.

Any update on this?
i'm looking for the exact same thing,
and with the search words 'proxy and android', even with other search words email,
you are drowned out, on google, with lots of irrelevant results...
so that, it took me a long time even to find this post.
I want to setup an email client to connect to my email server over Tor.
Much in the way that I can do that now on thunderbird, using Tor and torbirdy,
I will use Orbot on android....
Any ideas?
Maybe this will work with SandroProxy, app tab where you can redirect traffic just for one app and transparent proxy.
SandroProxy can then connect to other proxy. It's a little bit tricky but could work.
I'm developer of SandroProxy, Drony. There are also other proxies that can do the same.

I wonder if we have any app that natively support this.
