Hello
I have a question to people with blackberry services enables on their pda.
If your blackberry services are activated ,you will have a pin no by which you are identified on the blackberry networks. Now this pin can be used to send pin messages to other blackbeerry users, I avail this functionality in my blackberry handset (8700g) .
do windows device also have thsi feature ?
I know nothing about how it really works, but from what Ive heard, that this is only for the blackberry true function and from what I know, while WM has something close(push email) its not the same.
OK I really said nothing to your answer because I never looked in Push Email before on how it works. But I have just been told that it wont.
I wish it would thou cause I carry two phones and I only use my Blackberry for the free Pin function.
If you have found your pin with the push email system, why dont you send a pin from your blackberry to you WM phone to see what happens, you might not be able to read it or get it but maybe you will see on the blackberry if it was delieveried or not.
BB connect gives you a pin number but you cant send any pins. You need a real BB to do so.

hi,
i am having an issue on my TytnII where i cannot get my email to download from Yahoo.
in pocket outlook, almost mediately when i click send/receive i get 'error syncronising' in bottom left hand corner then a bubble appears with 'cannot connect : cannot connect with current connection settings....'.
any idea whats causing this?
i can get web access no problems and all other comms seem to work fine. Just can't get email to work.
any help appreciated!
p.s. my phone is a UK O2 Stellar (unlocked) and i'mm on t-mobile, dunno if that makes any difference. Standard 02 ROM i think.
if you're positive that your out and inports are set correctly
and ssl and the likes are set correctly
then maybe your cellphone network may be blocking those ports
in which case you can try the same using wifi bluetooth or usb to performe
the same operations
using Wifi i can get a bit further so there is definately and issue with my email contacting the mail server via GSM.
But i think there are also issues with my setting so i will try that first, when i get it working solid through wifi i will try to sort the GSM issues.
thanks,
i have it working fine over wifi now but still having same issue with GSM.
any idea how to resolve? change ports?
i had email working fine on my old phone (hermes) using same SIM and email address.
hi,
i am still experiencing the problem listed in the initial post.
I can connect to internet and browse websites, can access mail on yahoo website, MMS and SMS both work fine but still get 'error syncronising' and 'cannot connect : cannot connect with current connection settings....' when i try to use pocket outlook to download my POP mail.
it works fine when usig WiFi so must be an issue to do with the setting that pocket outlook uses for connecting to web but i cannot see where i can change this.
any help appreciated.
all the experts on this forum who know WM inside out and noone has even a suggestion to help with this problem?
sorry if it is too simple for you, but quite simply, i don't know how to fix it!
Hmmm,
I would say you answered your own question! It just looks like your GSM network provider is blocking this ports since your email settings seem to be correct (otherwise it would not have worked via Wi-Fi either!), so, you will have a hard time finding a solution.
However, here a not-so-convenient workaround:
If you can access other (non-YAHOO) pop-email accounts, try to forward all incoming YAHOO email to that email account, then set also your outgoing messages regarding to the functioning pop email account but as reply email use the YAHOO.
Try to contact your GSM network provider's technical stuff to verify your settings / ports. If they can asure you that this ports are not blocked, well, then there is only 1 other party to contact: YAHOO themself!
If you are a paid YAHOO SUBSCRIBER and you upgraded to the pop email account at YAHOO, they might be able to walk you through. If you use only YAHOO's free email: the free service does not work with pop email clients - only via their webmail.
hi,
thanks for the suggestions.
i am fairly convinced it is nothing to do with Yahoo as i can access when using wifi so that rules them out (no?) it also confirms the pop settings etc are correct as i can send and received mail with no problems.
using GSM I can access the rest of the web and i have previously used the same sim in another WM device to access email with no problems so forbidding a change to t-mobiles policy at exactly the same time as i switched phones i think it leaves only the phone as the possible cause.
i have tried t-mobiles technical helpdesk who are still to get back to me after 3 days... i am not holding my breath.
i think it may be something to do with it being an O2 phone/ROM and that it may be trying to connect using their settings when using email? does that sound reasonable?
i will flash a new ROM in the new year when i get new satnav software to replace the dodgy copy of TomTom on the device when it was delivered. hopefully that will solve it.
Thanks for your help.
Here is the problem - my company uses Blackberry for mobile email so I can not get company email pushed to my Win Mo 6.1 HTC Touch. I just signed a 3 year contract before I started with the company so I am not cancelling to get a Blackberry.
I can active sync email when connected to my computer but that does not allow me to get email on the go. I read in the threads that Microsoft got rid of remote Active Sync for security reasons and I can not find a solution. I have tried to make "Rules" in Outlook (both server side and client side) to forward all incoming mail to my gmail so I could remotely access my gmail account but security software at our company stops it after a few emails as suspicious activity.
The best thing that I have figured out is to leave my computer on all day and access my computer remotely with "logmein" but this is a major pain to do and annoying to do on the small screen.
I have unlimited internet access on my phone. I don't care if I can email anyone back from my account, I just need to see email as it comes in.
Any ideas?
I use Windows Mobile 6.1 with Pocket Outlook to access my POP3 account. Until some time last year, I was able to send and receive. Then, for reasons unknown I could no longer send, maybe starting in autumn or winter 2009. The error message says (I translate from Japanese): "Could not send one or more messages. Verify that your network is functioning and that your account settings are correct, then try again."
I finally got around to calling Softbank and they suggested that I look at the port number. Well, the Pocket Outlook interface doesn't actually have an option for port numbers but I suppose that "domainname.com:587" should work. 587 is the port number that my regular Outlook is set to. I tried that on Pocket Outlook now but it doesn’t change anything... Same error message again.
The Softbank guys just keep tellng me it's not their problem, I should change the settings. So... what do I do next?
I don’t think you can change the port number for pocket outlook. flexmail will give you the option. Which email provider are you using?
However Softbank has definitely block the ports and you might need proxy settings. therefore roll the ball back ask them to set it up for you
Bulldog, thanks. You can imagine that Softbank customer support isn't supportive at all. My email provider is Verio. In fact, this is company email (my own company) and others in our company have no trouble with this. They have Softbank phones, use the same settings that I use, use the same SMTP server and have no issues. You can definitely specify the port number as I described. "domainname.com:587" is definitely OK but this doesn't solve the issue. I called my company's IT support guy and he gave me access to his personal SMTP server. Again, I cannot send. He thinks that my specific phone or email account for some reason must be blocked by Softbank....
Alex,
I have forgotten to ask...are you using the original ROM or cooked one
Besides Have you ever test your device with another POP email account and settings (i.e like Gmail)?
Still uncooked. ANd now I am going to do exactly what you suggest: do a lot of testing.
1) Same POP3 account on a different Softbank phone / SIM that I will borrow from a colleague
2) On a different Softbank phone with my own SIM
3) With somebody else's SIM on my own phone
And, as you suggest,
4) Different, unrelated POP account on my phone/SIM
Any other combinations you can think of?
Hello Axel,
The Test procedures (1-4) you thinking of are solid. They should give the answers.
Cheers mate
Ha! I haven't gotten my hands on one of my colleagues' phones yet but I dug out my old X01HT, put in my SIM card, fired it up and tried sending from there. And guess what: no problem, with the same settings I have always used (don't need to specify any port)!!! So what does this mean? My guess is that something with my X05HT is wrong. It's not Softbank per se and it isn't Verio either. So it's got to be the device... Concur?
Yes, Now I would I also think it is the device. If you haven’t yet delete the Pocket Outlook Account and re-setup again, do that first. If that did not help then I am afraid you would need to make hard reset after backing up all your user data.
Hard resert did it
Hello Bulldog, one thing I did not think of was to perform a hard reset. The lady at the Softbank shoi did that today as part of their routine to get phones ready for repair. When she did that I figured might as well try once more and blow me down, that did it. We still don't know why it didn't work before the reset but at least it now works!
Thanks again for your help!
My mail sometimes contain sensitive information. Now i like the idea of mail delivered straight to my phone...but its insecure as sometime I give my phone to people for calling n' all..
Is there I can password protect outlook...even a basic 4 digit pin will do...but I don't want my whole device to be locked with password..
If its not possible, are there any other email program for WinMo that have that feature?
Using Custom Spark ROM for HTC Trophy and suddenly I can no longer reply or forward an email from any of my 4 email accounts. Has anyone experienced this?
I don't know if it's ROM related problem as the Trophy forum doesn't really get much activity at all so I thought I'd ask here.
Umm... could you at least identify which (of the dozens of options) custom ROM you're using? For that matter, what phone are you using - there are two different devices called the HTC Trophy (Verizon sells a CDMA+GSM one called Spark_W internally)?
A much better place to ask this question, aside from the Trophy forums in general, would be a ROM-specific thread. I assure you, the rest of the world has not spontaneously lost the ability to respond to email on their Windows Phones.
It would also help if you described the problem in any degree of detail. Is there an error message? Are you able to write the mail, but not to send it? Do the Reply/Reply All/Forward buttons not work at all? Can you compose mail and send it normally (not as a response)? Are you still receiving mail (i.e. connected to the Internet and able to sync with the server)? Did you recently connect to a WiFi network that you don't normally use, or get a new ISP (some ISPs block the SMTP ports to force you to use their own email servers. These ISPs suck and should be avoided, but you may not have known that about them)?
version 7.10.8107.79 DFT ROM FOR SPAR-W VERIZON VERSION OF THE TROPHY is the ROM I'm using for Verizon Trophy, CDMA.
Doesn't seem to matter if I'm using WiFi or 3g. Started out if no where.
What happens is I click the reply button then I see the pop up with Reply Forward and Reply All. No matter which one I select the pop up window goes back down and I still see the email I wish to reply too. I can receive and even create and send new emails.
I haven't connected to a network I don't normally use.
Did you load any particular app just before this started occurring or make any changes to anything in the phone (registry, settings, etc)?
