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.

Hi. I've been using mail2web services for a while. They were great until the last couple of weeks, now their service goes down like a pro.
So.. I started to look at alternatives.
fastmail -- nice account, IMAP.. but for the life of me I couldn't get it to "push" email to my phone. It supposedly supports IDLE, but I couldn't figure this out. Am I missing a setting somewhere? The thing never pushed mail to my phone at all.
1and1.com -- slightly more expensive exchange2003 account. No .CAB for the activesynch settings, they have to be input manually. No problem, until I set "as arrives" in scheduling and it asks me for an SMS gateway. Uh-oh. Im on Softbank and I know nothing about any gateway.
this post:
http://forums.techarena.in/showthread.php?t=410683
explains that Exchange works by sending a header SMS to instruct the phone to synch. However, mail2web never asked me for my provider or any SMS gateway.. so if this is how it works how did mail2web do it?
If anyone can shed some light on how to get this working properly, or where to find more technical details on how this stuff works I'd be a lot happier. As it is I'm having to check gmail periodically.
Thanks for your help!
I think your getting mixed up a bit sir, mail2web uses the push feature because it uses your GPRS connection to talk to it. If you ran a netstat program to see what the device is currently connected to you will see an active connection to mobile.exchange.mail2web.com, as soon as an email arrives it signals activsync on your device to synchronise your emails, the device simply tells you that there is an unread message. The connection is always on. If you have GSM signal but no active data connection you wont get your push emails.
The connection is always on but stuff is sent to and fro only when there is a change on one end (for example if you add a new contact.....it will sync with the mail2web server and the new contact will be on there aswell).
and FYI...mail2web has been a bit unreliable lately but its ok at the moment!?
Thanks for the info.
So..... do you have any advice as to how I would set up activesynch the same way to connect to 1and1?
When I set it up it asks me for the gateway, otherwise won't let me choose "when arrives" for scheduling, could this be a setting on my side, or a setting on their servers?
mail2web may be OK now, but for a non-free service 1 whole week of unreliability is enough for me. Who knows how long it'll be up before problems start again.

mail2web seems back to normal service today... Nearly
But yes one week without push... including sometimes when your email just do not even reach your acount and bounce (ie they're just lost...) it's not really what we need
I hope in the future more and more providers will propose Exchange 2007 accounts by default...
I am also a former m2w user. canceled my account in fury after indeed more than three weeks of problems, topped with a week off.
Fortunately my school's email supports ActiveSync so I moved there.
I cannot recommend any particular commercial replacement.
I've heard a few folks using Goodlink, but I am not convinced.
Push email is no joke, once you have it and rely on it, and it goes bananas, the harm is real.
Do we know when mail2web is planning on using exchange 2007??
Ok so I flashed to WM6.1 got everything finally going and decided to get my email setup. Got my yahoo mail account and my gmail account started then tryed to sync and keep getting this message:
Dialed: isp.cingular
Cannot connect for an unknown reason.....
I think i need to manually set something up, possibly "My ISP" in settings. Can someone please inform me. I searched, but couldn't find a thing on 6.1 and AT&T.
Thanks

Here are the settings you should use.
trying to locate the ATT proxy manager.....anyone have it close by?
It sounds like the same problem I had.
You need to change the advance server settings on the individual accounts to use medianet. You can find the setting in onhthe Outgoing mail server page when you are checking the setting on the email accounts.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=XDA-LiveTiltAddonFiles
changed settings and rebooting as we speak.
now I get this message
Cannot connect with current connection settings
tried to remove and restore proxy settings with no luck
having the same issue, any more ideas out there?
I had this problem also.. this is why I went back to 6.0
ok so with WIFI connected I am able to sync my email. when I set the connection to Media Net, Work, and The Internet I get the error sync message. I have removed and restored proxy.
anything else?
I think there could be a larger problem. My Internet stopped working late Tuesday (Feb 5, 2008) afternoon. A quick perusal of the Kaiser and Kaiser upgrading etc. forums in looking for a solution to my problem suggests others may be experiencing the same thing.
Can only get online using PIE
I cant use AT&T internet on certain apps?
Opera Mini works but not PIE?
Internet stopped working on my Tilt at around 8pm PST today. Seems to be working fine now though.
Similar problem here
Running Dutty 6.1 Beta. 2 yahoo accounts, 1 gmail - tried auto and manual IMAP configuration. None can connect using MediaNet. However, both Internet and Outlook push from exchange server work fine.
Turn on Wifi, then Yahoo/Gmail work. Connect through USB ActiveSync, then Yahoo/Gmail work. Very strange...
Hey guys, its not an upgrade issue, its a network issue, here's some more info over here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=366104
ok so with everything set to connect via Media Net I get not connection, still get the error.....WELL.....this morning I work up and the phone had sync'd?
What the heck? So i am guessing the connection is set correct, maybe I just have a stubborn phone? I will test and try things out today
I had the same problem Post 2 and 4 fixed my problem.

I can't believe I missed that setting! That was it! It was default to "The Internet".

Thanks for this post, dragonacc, you just saved my butt after I installed a new ROM!!
I had the same issue moving to Dutty's DualTouch v4, so it has nothing to do with 6.1 vs 6.0. It was the "by default" setting. Turns out that streaming media and Pocket Outlook were trying to use the "My ISP" setting rather than MediaNet. Fixing the default fixed it for them, too.
short description of the problem:
sending of emails would fail whilst you could receive emails.
I had the same problem. It can work normally for weeks and suddenly stop and again eventually start working again....
Applying this patch will fix this. I tested it and it works
Overview from microsoft.com
Overview
This behavior is associated with a feature that was introduced in Windows Mobile 6.1. It provides a way for users to send e-mail through an alternate outbound e-mail server provided by their mobile operator in the event that the default outbound e-mail server becomes inaccessible.
The problem occurs if a mobile operator doesn't use this feature, and therefore doesn't supply a value for the alternate SMTP address. When the mobile device fails on any attempt to connect to the e-mail provider's default SMTP server, Windows Mobile 6.1 automatically loads the value for the alternate SMTP server—which in this case is blank. The e-mail account configuration details are then corrupted, which results in loss of the ability to send e-mail with that particular e-mail account.
With this fix, the feature is patched to ensure that Windows Mobile 6.1 takes appropriate action when it detects a blank value for the Alternate SMTP server.
Note: After you apply this hot fix to your mobile device, the messages that have been sitting in the Outbox folder of your affected POP and IMAP e-mail account(s) will be sent. Since these messages could be out of date, you might not want to send them now. You can keep these messages from being sent by navigating to the Outbox folder of these accounts, and then either delete them, or move them to another folder. On Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional devices, you can access account folders by tapping the folder drop-down located in the upper left portion of the message list. On Windows Mobile 6.1 Standard devices, you can access account folders by pressing the Menu soft key, and then selecting Folders.

Everytime I tried to install it using the cab file, the Touch Pro will soft reset. Anyone encounter this?

Mine did the exact same thing after I was prompted if I wanted to run it.
Go check your add/remove programs and see if the KB is listed there; on mine it was after the first reboot. Maybe the installation only takes a second and soft resets right away?
i think it was intended to do this..
microsoft always wants you to reboot your device/pc after updating..
my also soft-reset but afterwards the problem was gone
I tried to install the CAB file, but I get this error.
This update cannot be installed on this version of Windows Mobile. Current: 6.1 AKU 1.5.0.0 Build 20273 Platform 2
Anyone knows what the problem is? Thanks!
Anyone actually have this work? I've been having this problem since day one... I hard reset today and installed the hotfix immediately and it still happens. 1st email using imap on gmail will go through, the next will fail and that's the end of it. I have to delete the account and re-create to get one more email through before it starts failing again.
I have already tried this patch and still cannot send email, the error says something about making sure my user information is correct and try again.
I am thinking that it is my email client (AKO..military) that will not allow sending from imap/pop in order to keep tabs on security.

I am also facing the same issue. did u get it resolved?
Make sure your carrier doesnt have a different SMTP setting for mobile phones. Some do some dont.
I have this issue on my laptop, when i tried to send from my home internet i can not use and SMTP for a specific account, but at work I can. When we investigated it, we found that our work internet connection allows various SMTP's all on the same service, but on our home we could only use the home SMTP. BOth internet connections are on the same ISP it was jsut a setting they have for work and home connections that we had to work around. It might have some of the same issues on mobiles.
Did anyone managed to get it resolved? I have this patch installed but still cannot send email. There is no SMTP problem, I just can't send it :/
The only way I've ever been able to resolve it is to delete the account, and then created it again.
I've had the same problem.
I tried the microsoft patch AND it didn't work!
I can receive email but cannot send it.
When we changed our ISP at work from Orange to TalkTalk we couldn't send anymore using our Orange SMTP, apparently, when you send email, you can only send through your Internet Access Provider's outbound (SMTP) mail server.
So I tried the same with my v1615
Instead of using smtp.talktalkbusiness.net, I changed it to send.vodafone.net (I'm on vodafone obviously) and it works! (so far)
Possibly, you may be able to find your networks smtp?
Hey, I just got the fuze and setup my gmail. I can receive, but can't send. Whey it tried to send I get the message "The messag(s) could not be sent. Check that you have the network coverage and that yhour account information is correct. Then try resending".
I did verify my account info was correct and I double checked the gmail settings. Also I thought maybe the proxy was active so I did run the disable proxy.
Anyone else have this issue?

I got the same error trying to send an email to Gmail IMAP server over a 3G connection. Does the WinMo 6.1 problem/fix apply to Gmail IMAP the same as it does to POP3 accounts?
Sure does.
Brian
Thanks for the verification, Brian. I applied the fix, and Gmail IMAP is working as it should.

Thanks to all of you who help others around here!
Okay, so I'm having this problem as well. I installed the Microsoft update, but like ... it's still not working.
I recently switched from a Tytn II/Tilt and Touch Pro/Fuze. I had email working on my Tilt, but it won't let me send on the Fuze. I am 100% sure all the settings are correct, and like I said, the update is installed. Aside from the proxy server thing, I have no ideas of how to fix this. But I don't know how the proxy server thing works.

What provider do you have, what account are you trying to set up, what ROM are you on, etc, etc, etc.....
I hope you weren't expecting someone to answer your vague question...
Yes, you mentioned Tilt and Fuze which tells me that your on AT&T but you really haven't provided enough info to assist you.
For your proxy, go to Start\Settings\Connection\Connections\Manage Existing Connections\Proxy Settings and check "TAhis network connects to the internet" uncheck "this network uses a proxy" and clear out any proxy listed.
Also go to Advanced\Select Networks and set both to MediaNet.
Depending on WHAT e-mail your trying to set up, check your settings for the outgoing server.
For example default settings for Yahoo put in smtp.mobile.mail.yahoo.com but I have to remove .mobile to get it to send.

I have pop enabled for gmail--do I need imap instead?
I can't seem to connect--it rejects my password.
Hotmail works.
Pop3 through Lunarpages server works fine.
I can access my gmail just fine on my desktop computer.
oopsss, it decided to start working..didn't do anything different, not even reboot. persistence pays..
Fuze--change default email account?
How do I change my default email account?
I have several apps that send email to the default email set in Windows, and they all end up in the Outlook E-mail account Outbox, which is the Exchange one, and I don't use it.
Can't delete or change it. AT&T support was clueless.
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)?
