How to specify alternate SMTP port? - Touch Pro, Fuze General

Hi there,
does anyone know how to set up a mail account on the TP using an alternate SMTP port? The syntax "mailserver-colon-portnumber" like e.g. in "mail.com:587" does not seem to work on the TP or on WM 6.1.
Any hints?

Are you doing this when you originally set up the account? I mean, I've noticed on the Tilt that if you try to add the port number to the hostname after you've already set up the account, it doesn't "take." You have to delete the account and start again.
I don't have a Fuze yet, but white-santa-claus-on-wheels (FedEx) should be here shortly. I paid $200 for it from AT&T after being connected to their Customer Retention department (would have been 425 otherwise).

I would also be interested in a answer for this question.

Thanks a lot that solved the issue though setting up all the accounts wasn't exactly what I liked to do. Damn Windows Mobile, sometimes I'd like to kick the programmers for such crappy behaviour. Not to mention the finally with a hotfix solved SMTP send problem.

Suddenly strange Outlook entry called "PUSH" ??

Hi all,
I am not sure whether I am completely right now, but I am quite sure I have never seen an entry called "PUSH" in my Outlook mail accounts list on my Vox before.
But now it is there, along with my ActiveSync account, a Windows Live account and 3 imap accounts.
I cannot access any settings nor can I delete it.
Does anybody know what it is for? And where it comes from?
Many thanks and have a lovely day

Push mail is instant mail. You get it when you connect to a exchange server.
Just another question...
Hi,
many thanks for the answer. I am aware what pushmail is.
Just I was concerned as I have for sure not set up this "PUSH" account. But now it is there.
Is it automatically created whenever I configure my exchange account for push mail? Is this the secret behind?
I was just surprised as of why this is not hidden or so, as there is no obvious use for it.
Thanks
Andi
hey guys even i have the same thing..it occured suddenly in my s710...can anyone explain me what is that clearly..
i got the same, and the strange thing is that when i configured an exchange server, that one was added as outlookmail and still there is an empty push item!
???
Did you install the jb5 browser recently? This installs a WAP Push account which appears in the mail application, in the settings of this browser you can disable it and after a soft reboot the account disappears.
you are totally right my friend!
I tried to install jb5. that didnt work because I got an 'installation unsuccesful', but since then the pushmail is there.
do you know how to install/deinstall jb5 on wm6.1?
so, I cannot use the jb5 browser to delete the push mail. You know how to do it manually?
I've not been able to install it since upgrading to WM6.1, however, for me, the unsuccessful install didn't add the account to the Mail app. I have no idea how to get rid of accounts that can't be accessed apart from the obvious of a hard reset...
Solved !!!
Hi,
thank you very much. Yes, I have installed JB5 browser and this was exactly the root cause.
Now I removed it successfully and I am happy again.
Great community here, many thanks!!!

Mail2web not working..?

Has anyone had any problems with mail2web not syncing with MW 6.1..? Mine just stopped working this morning and I logged into my mail2web account and noticed they added changes to WM 6 users as your [email protected] was changed to username_mail2web.com and with theses changes it's still not syncing. This is driving me nutz as all my contacts are synced and 12 hours without syncing makes you loose all your contacts! Did I miss something??
My Mail2Web account works fine, pushes email to my phone fine. I've tested it out several times since I've been going back and forth between different ROMs.
Do you have the LIVE account which is free or the regular one. I have the live account and as of right now, its not working. I know alot of people at treocentral.com are having the same problem with treo 800w's as I am. Funny thing is it has been working flawlessly for the past week until this morning.

I have the free account, and just sent an email to it from my work corporate account and it went to my phone in a couple of seconds.
FYI - I have MRH 8.1 ROM running WM 6.1 build 20270 on a Hermes.
ok, weird how some users its working for and some it is not. Are you using windows mobile 6.0 or 6.1..? Also, are you using the WM 5.0 setting which have worked for me on WM6 for as long as I can remember or are you using the new setting that are listed on the mail2web site..? The difference is [email protected] vs. username_mail2web.com (which is listed for WM6 users) The big difference is when you use the WM6 settings it will not let you move on until you ad a domain which is ad2 for mail2web. Anyone elce having any problems?

WM 6.1, using the username format of [email protected] with no domain specified.
hmmm, ok thx. Very strange how my account is not working. I can view it and log in on their website but it just stays stuck on the syncing process on my treo. Strange.
Its now working. I had to disable the SSL. Something must be going on with their servers with some users. Buscuit, thx for the replys.
Just checked/sync'd mine ok. Not sure if it makes any diference but i paid for exchange 2007 account so my user name is [email protected] even though its hosted by mail2web.
I am however having issues with MX and "A" records, anyone here any good with that stuff?
I just emailed them about the problem and got this reply:
"Sorry for the inconvenience this may cause.
We are aware of the issue and are working with Microsoft to fix the intermittent downtimes that are occuring. We're sorry for any inconvenience and ask that you use your OWA to check your secure mail for now or disable your SSL option on your device to try to access the account."
Been struggling with this for a day or 2 now!

Lotus based email servers

i have checked in all opereating systems of windows CE in almost all devices
but there is no support for lotus based emails servers wheather i am contecting via gprs or wi fi
the email box opens perfectly but the buttons of forward reply bcc cc are not visible,
i have done jave aplets and this and that but the problem is still there
now thinking to switch on blackberry for the push email facility
or anyone can tell me that any application can help me
now a days um using treo 750v with wm 6
we have it at work, i'll see if I can find the details for you. Notes/Domino are the biggest pieces of **** i've used in my life (that and the several thousand lotus notes "applications" we have)
cud'nt get u
what application i need for this problem?????
would your goodself be that much kind to tell me in brief?????
Ignoring the anti-Domino stance of the first respondent i would suggest you investigate CommonTime. They do a server side push email system designed for WM devices as well as Symbian.
If what you are looking for is a mobile version of DWA then i think you are going to have to wait until your Domino servers are upgraded to version 8.
oh my God
i cant bel that i gonna have solve my problem of email
that was a kind info thx
let me try that soft first
You may also want to try out Seven Beta, they also do a push email soultion for Domino/Exchange and all manner of third party POP/SMTP servers.
Forgot to add this is also a FREE option.

If your domino server is on version 8 or above you can use IBM Notes Traveler http://www-01.ibm.com/software/lotus/products/notes/traveler.html
it's far better than MSFT solution because it allows you to replicate signed and encrypted email. that's only my opinion

MS E-mail doesn't work with my personal domain

MS mail working fine with an account on a "public" provider, even it is not the same I am using for the GSM.
MS mail doesn't work (no send, no receive) with an account on my personal domain, hosted by a third party provider.
Strange is on PC is OK, on an other mobile phone is OK and either on my PRO using QMQIL is working fine, I checked the config 1000 times that's nothing wrong, any know issue with MS mail?
Thanks

Max

You say this is Microsoft HoTMaiL but is hosted elsewhere or did I misunderstand what you are telling me? I had a problem with a personal somain hosted by MICROSOFT but a couple of emails to support eventually fixed the problem.

Sorry for the confusion, with MS mail I mean the original mail client coming with the W6.1.
My personal domain is hosted by a provider which is not the same as for the GSM services.
Thanks

50 email limit - Windows Live Hotmail

Hey all,
I have a HTC Touch phone through Bell and have my hotmail account setup on it to receive emails from my account. The problem I am having is that it will only allow me to see the latest 50 emails.
Does anyone know how to change this value? Is there a registry hack/setting/etc that can be changed?
I saw one "solution", which was setting up your account through outlook instead, but then there isn't push, and that's why I use it.
Any help is GREATLY appreciated!
There is no solution to this as far as i am aware. I am using a different client to push hotmail to my trinity and had the same issue. All i could see was the top 50 messages in my inbox, as newer ones were deleted then older ones would synch across. Checking with them it was confirmed that the 50 message limit was imposed by Microsoft.

i am Sooooooo frustrated.
i thought i finally found the answer to my problems in windows live.
My wm6.1 phone is SOOOOOO unreliable when i need it to download/send emails.
I set up a hotmail account and configured windows live on my phone only to find out that i can only SEE MY LATEST 50 EMAILS!!!
WHY WOULD THEY DO THIS?!?!?!?!?
They create a solution to smtp/imap/pop3 problems in windows live and then they make it unusable for ANYONE!
What other solutions are available?
I will never purchase another windows mobile phone again. Apparently this has been a problem for a long time and they have yet to address it...
ugh
