FUZEinMYpants,
Are you using a large outfit like gmail or something like your company email? If the latter, does it only work on wifi when you are on your company's wifi network or Starbucks' wifis as well?
The reason I'm asking is that depending on the email servers (there are two, one for sending, the other for receiving mostly) you may only be able to interact with them if your coming from an IP address that falls within the range of whatever the administrator set. I for example could not send email when I went down to Florida because AT&T gave me a too different IP address than what I get in New York so I had to ssh into my email server and modify the range.
Your admin may only allow email to be relayed out and/or read if you're on the LAN which in this case, in your office or college on their wifi network connected to the local area network to which the mail servers are connected.
If that's not it then we may have a connectivity problem with your settings. Maybe a bad proxy configuration, your email server doesn't like wap.cingular which is behind a nat, maybe your email server requires a type of encryption you're either not specifying or is not supported by Pocket Outlook, maybe they're using imap and not pop and you're mixing that up, maybe they don't have encryption but they used funky ports for the vanilla protocols -- I'm going to stop typing until you tell me what the story is with your email setup.
In the meantime, to hold yourself over with the phone and without wifi, consider getting your mail through a webmail thing your server may run (I run roundcube) using Opera or PIE, depending on the webmail interface.

Check the setting in your email settings under advanced server settings and make sure that it says Netowrk conncetion media net or att isp. I have seen it default to Work and that locks it into Wifi. I send and recieve email everyday on EDGE since I do not have 3g within 40 miles of here.

--> Push Mail question <--

When connected to WiFi and GPRS is disables (via NoDATA) Push Mail does not work. why is that? isn't there a way to activate Push Mail in an "office only" mode, using WiFi only?
Hi,
thats not possible because WiFi is turned of when the device is in standby.

... it doesn't work even when the device is constantly on (I disabled automatic standby in Power Options).
Hi,
as long Wifi ist turned on the GPRS conn. will be disconnected.
AFAIK there is no way to change this.

Maybe some operator-software changed some properties concerning the Push Mail. So check your network settings. Can you connect to the internet when using Wifi only? When that's possible, you can try to reassign a connection with your Exchange server in activesync. Personally, my Push Mail works on the campus using Wifi and GPRS disabled. So good luck

is it working in true Push mode (schedule= "as item arrives") or in Sync mode (schedule= "Every X minutes")?
anyway, it is not operator-software related issue because my wizard runs XDA Mobile 6 Release 2a with no Extended ROM based files installed.
Check your Firewall Config!
Normal you publish your Exchange OWA Server direct in the internet. Via a Firewall ... possible your Rule Set in the Firewall doesnt allow the access this IP/Adress from Internal LAN/WIFI.
Next is ... possible you cant resolve the DNS Name in the Internal LAN.
Check it ... it isnt a Device Problem ... its a Network Problem!

actually its a mail2web account but I am building a test exchange 2003 domain and will post my findings. Thank billie for virtual server!!!
possible you have block some ports on your firewall!
i must read some whitepapers to know all ports for syncing via exchange.

Push Mail Works fine with wifi, you can set the device to not go on standby mode, when you are in office. Wifi will drain the juice outta your battery though. You dont necessarily need exchange 2003, you can use kerio mail server. I am running kerio and its quite good. No Problems as of now. It has Web Mode, WAP Web, and Exchange OWA, and POP
Test results!
Due to high work load it took me some time to build the test environment and actually test this thing.
it looks like push mail DOES work in WiFi-only mode, beautifully, but when both WiFi and GPRS are connected - mail is downloaded through the slow and expensive GPRS connection rather then through WiFi.
am I the only one dealing with this issue?
P.S. - there is no firewall between my wizard and the internet - just a router. same goes for the exchange environment.

Are you sure? i was under the impression that when you connect to WiFi it will suspend GPRS...
Do you have the correct connection for Wifi (to Work or to Internet network...)

Yes, I am sure. new mail is downloaded through GPRS even though WiFi is available. when I disable GPRS - mail is downloaded through WiFi.
do you get different results?

No internet using USB to PC

Apologies if this has already been asked/answered, but have spent the last two days looking for a solution..
When connected via USB I cannot establish an internet connection, unless I delete the T-Mobile proxy setting.
I've applied the regedit edit that's been mentioned as a solution, but this didn't work.
Is there anyway to use the pass through connection without having to delete the proxy everytime?
The main annoyance is that the phone won't sync with my exchange server whilst connected to the PC. I have mail set up to sync with exchange server and all other items syncing with my PC. My Hermes sync'ed with anything and everything.
Thanks
just leave the proxy out.
T-Mobile's proxy is a pain in the arse and causes all sorts of problems.
I deleted the proxy from my connection on t-mobile nearly three years ago and on every single device i have had since. never had a problem since.
If the proxy is there, it affects ALL internet connections, so when you plug it in to your PC, it is trying to go through a Proxy that you can only access over GPRS.
that's why proxies are a PITA and should be deleted permanently.
and no, it should not affect anyhting if you delete it. or not that i have noticed anyway.
Thanks will give it a go when I get home.
Seem to be able to access internet without the proxy, but forgot my usb cable so can't test pass though at work.. fingers crossed!
When I deleted the proxy I couldn't then send SMS texts...?
That's a completely random coincidence. The proxy has nothing to do with SMS whatsoever.
you can of course make sure that you are using GSM for SMS. start>settings>connections>advanced network>SMS
set it to GSM. if this is already set, then it has nothing to do with the proxy.
Says "Your text message cannot be sent" after I removed the proxy. SMS is set to GSM. Could it have altered any other relevant settings? Have put the proxy back now but it still refuses to send the message.
Any ideas?
no, wouldn't have changed anything else. The proxy has no bearing on SMS whatsoever.
Like i said, i reckon it is just a coincidence, otherwise turning the proxy back on would have fixed it.
If it is set to GSM already try the other three settings as well.
and a soft reset of course....
Have found a cable and tested - still no joy after deleting proxy.
Connecting to PC, and items syncing with host PC are fine. Mail syncing with Exchange server fails and can't access internet via pass through.
Browsing and syncing with the exchange server is fine when not connected to the PC.
Btw kempas - SMS works fine after deleting the proxy setting, as it should do.
Steve
on the handset:
start>settings>connections>wifi (NOT Wireless LAN)> network adapters
set the drop down box to Internet.
On the PC:
Open Activesync>File>Connection Settings
Set "This computer connects to" to the internet.
Dunno what it is in vista, i have avoided it like the plague....
I did a soft reset and tried again (a couple of time) with no luck, unable to send text message.
Went to settings, connections and run through the network provider setup wizard, let it reset the phone and tried again. Settings 'seemed' all the same but SMS now sent without issue.
Will try removing the proxy again later and testing with another SMS.
EDIT: removed the proxy and sent an SMS without issue this time... So was a "completely random coincidence" as rhedgehog said.
Still can't access You Tube via it's mobile client though, at least, it still says no videos...
All now appears to do what I expect after removing proxy and following rhedgehog's advice. Pass through now works Many thanks!
Also appeared that the t-mobile proxy blocks Windows live and messenger

Just Web N Walk I believe, not plus, so I guess messenger is a no no. Will bypassing their proxy end up with me being charged for data??

No, but it is against the t&cs to use IM software when on basic web n walk. Tmobile block the ports for IM software anyways, it seems for new customers since several old customers managed to get through.....i never could though, so the proxy would make no difference if it is on or off.
I personally am on wnw+ which is TOTALLY worth it for using the HSPA when out with my laptop on location.
Cheers for that. Won't really need messenger to be honest - but the proxy setting interfering with the pass through was annoying.

Log into My T-Mobile or call customer services and get the adult content filter turned off.
I think they blocked it to prevent kids blowing mummy and daddy's credit on watching videos.
Of course, Streaming is also against the T&C's of wnw standard, so it could be that this is why. I'm on wnw+ and had to turn off the filter to get it working.
Yep, that was it. Cheers for the reply...

att data problems?

so my phone has been fine ive used romeos and im now using proven
data was never an issue then today im having connection problems
i usually use the my isp connection but now when i try to connect i get the error saying it cant connect for an unknown reason
i switched to media net i can call i can text and i can send pic msgs weather in TF3d works IE works and opera works google maps works and even beejive IM works
but if i try to check email it says "cant connect with current settings" skyfire wont work and kinoma freeplay wont work
wifi works for everything
what could the problem be?!
i think i know why because i have a special employee plan that just got changed and somehow the settings may be altered?
still need a fix though
no one has an idea??
i have set media net default settings and even downloaded the restore and remove proxy cabs tried both and still no
someone anyone?
go to setting-connections, then under media net click on manage exisiting connections
now click on the proxy tab on the bottom, make sure the second box (this network uses a proxy server) is unchecked...
I had the same problem when I switched to Proven
Go to e-mail account options(Menu>Tools>Options)>Choose an account>Edit account setup>Go to that page where Advanced Server Settings tab(click on it)> Under network connection choose MEdia Net. That should fix your problem. Do the same for each of yours e-mail accounts.

The only option I have is 'internet' (so I can't change it to Media Net. When I check my connection media net is the only connection I have though. Any ideas how to get that changed in my ActiveSync/Email settings?
use this cab..it adds a new connection named ATT GPRS which has a different dns..i have been using this since i found it and have never gone back because by utilizing these dns servers you get much better speedtest results and it seems to never have any connection problems..thing is you gootta use a tool like advanced config and go into connection settings in the program and disable medianet from being used as a connection because if both are active your device randomly chooses which to connect with so you gotta make sure medianet is no longer active..here is the cab

i guess next time it hsppens make sure the feature is the correct one on your account. call your regional account executive to check it out.
it happens from time to time because when medianet is on for quite sometime, it can't authenticate the phone. Easy fix is just to just disconnect from medianet then try it again. You can do this by sliding to settings and clicking on "communications." After that, just turn off data connection and reconnect.

WinMo 6.1, Messaging and VPN

I have a Windows Mobile device 6.1 Pro.
I have Messaging setup to collect my personal emails from the Internet via my HSDPA connection.
I also have an account for my work email (POP3) which I collect via the company VPN.
This is my problem, and it's something I've lived with for a long time as I don't think it can be changed. Maybe you guys can help.
I open Messaging and switch to my work email account. I have the Network Connection set to use 'Work' Settings, and in the Work settings I have my VPN connection.
If I open Settings, Connections and click and hold on the VPN settings I can connect manually. Now I have a VPN connection and I can send and receive mail.
However, I want to be able to Send/Receive and for this to be automatic, so when I do this, if there's no 3G, it connects first, then the VPN connection is triggered, and the connection is established - however, in the mean time Messaging has gone off to try to find email from my work servers on the Internet, and always fails obviously. If I Send/Receive again, it connects right away as the VPN connection is already established from the first attempt. Email is sent and recieved as you would expect.
My problem is Messaging doesn't wait long enough for the VPN connection to be established, and although it triggers it, it tried to collect email before it's finished connecting, then I have to try again.
Or connect the VPN manually, but this is many clicks and not so User Friendly for staff who aren't so WinMo savvy.
Is there a way to have Messaging wait long enough for all relevant connections to be established before trying to find the mail server??
