Hello,
I've tried searching the forums, but couldn't find an relevant threads. I've got Pocket MSN Messenger (not the live messenger beta) on my Hermes but I can't connect to the service. Every time I try I get an error message saying that the device couldn't connect to the service.
I'm on T-mobile, with the £7.50 web'n'walk data tariff and am in an area with 3G coverage.
Does anyone know what the problem is or what I can do to sort it out?
Cheers
Paul.
Are you able to connect to the Internet through Pocket IE? If so, if you have proxy server settings set up (Start -> Settings -> COnnections [tab] -> Connections [icon] -> Set up my proxy server), try fiddling them, and re-connecting. That may work.
Connection to the internet is fine for everything (Internet Explorer, SPB Weather, push email), but I don't connect through a proxy server.
Hi, on my Polaris I've my Gmail account which updates itself through IMAP4.
I want the following: Wenn i have a WIFI connection the email will update through WIFI, without WIFI I want hem to automaticly connect with GPRS.
This is standard with internet explorer.
I allready found out that you can switch the connection manually: Mailoptions --> Adanced server options --> Network connection, then change it to internet or GPRS
Is there a way to do this by for example making a network connection which can use both???
Don't know too much about the topic itself, but maybe try a more advanced email program like Outlook?

I'm still using my Hermes whith wm6, whith Outlook so there shouldn't be any real difference, but I haven't noticed the problem you're encountering. Whith WiFi on it uses it and when not, it uses GPRS/3G/HSDPA.
But then again, thw wifi network is set to connect to the internet, and the ISP settings are set to be automatically used.

Considering the fact that I got a 2-month free trial for Outlook, I doubt that the built-in email program is Outlook on the Polaris. Else, it would clearly state Outlook (M$ would not sell it anonymously , my guess )

I use my e-mail account of my ISP.
When in range of my WLAN it uses WIFI else it will establish a connection with GPRS.

strange, becouse the programm is called 'outlook E-mail' it even has the same icon as it has on my desktop computer.
Aren't there any Polaris users who have the same problem??
If it is the software which email program do you suggest to use.

Yeah I can do that, 'The Internet', only two options are available in the specified menu, 'The Internet' and 'Work' nothing else.
And the default messaging app is Pocket Outlook since ancient times.

Ok tanx, it seems that 'The Internet' is removed either by me or a programm, I was considering a hard reset for some other problems. (Activesync isn't working properly) so I think its the fasted way to solve this problem as wel.

After a hard reset still the same problem, the network connection selected for my IMAP mail is set to 'The Internet'
When connected to WIFI it will get my mail, when not, a pop up is displayed saying: Can't connect with current networkconfiguration. To change this configuration go to this link.
When I click the link I get connection configuration in which I didn't changed a thing.
I don't get it, doesn't anybody have the same problem as me.
Maby the new cooked ROM will help.
My Polaris configured automatically, I am not sure if it depends on the provider. I am using KPN.
It shows you the result during configuration.
Has yours completed normally?
I have had the same problem.
In Settings - Connections - Advanced - Select Networks - Choose there which connection u would like to use when device need to automaticly connect to the internet. I have there my GPRS Web settings and when i'm not on wifi it's using GPRS connection. When u have The internet there it cannot use it when u are not connected to it (when u are not on wifi).

Exactly, it's just weird that both type of connection can be used but you have to change it every time you want to use the other.
Which provider do you use??

Currently i'm using Vodafone, but i'll switch to KPN in March, hopefully it will work properly then.

Simple stated, I can use both for e-mail and internet and WIFI get's priority over GPRS/UMTS when in WIFI range.
ok... I've had this same problem where my TC won't check email, windows live, etc through my wifi, despite being connected.
The reason is... my wifi connection was setup to say it connects to "work" as opposed to "the internet".
For those having the same problem as me, follow these instructions...
1) Click on start, settings, connections, then "wi-fi" icon
2) Press (hold down) on your wifi connection, and then click "edit".
3) change "connects to", to say "the internet".
4) Click next, next, and finish.
5) Close the settings menu and try again.
Worked for me!
PS... yes I know I'm a donkey for messing it up in the first place, but it's all good fun learning!
Same weird problem here now.
It use to work without problem. Wifi was preferred network.
When wifi not available, GPRS/UMTS (T-Mobile NL) was used. Since yesterday i'm not able to retrieve pop3 mail through G/3G anymore. Internet is ok and WindowsLive also no problem. Also pop3 mail through wifi is no problem.
I'm going to hardreset now.
I have my brand spankin' new TC on Rogers here in canada. Ran the auto connection wizard, great! I have Internet! But I get the cannot connect error every time i send or receive email using outlook. I have tried everything I know, is there something you can suggest? It works fine over WIFI, and ActiveSync via USB. But over the 3G there is nothing!
OK, I figured it out.
For future reference.
When your setting up the email account, do it manually as opposed to allowing the auto set up to happen. And at the outgoing mail server screen select advanced options and make sure it connects to your carrier (In my case "Rogers Internet") internet connection.
Friends,
I am using HTC Touch. i ve installed gprs settings for vodafon india. internet is working very well. no problem in that. but when i setup a mail like yahoo or gmail at (start>messaging> outlook mail> [email protected]) . Setting is done. i can send and receive mails through wi fi , so mail setup is ok. BUT when i send and receive through our pre installed gprs settings it is not working. Message given check the internet connectivty. while through this setting i can exlore any web site through opera or internet explorer.
Any suggestion to solve this ? u ll help me a lot. as i want to set up a scheduler for mail checking and everywhere wifi is not available. my mail id is [email protected].
Thanks.
I'd call the service provider to make sure I didn't miss any settings required I forgot to use...
or maybe.. it's the ISP's problem itself.
Ive seen this before when using exchange mail. Make sure you check in settings/connections that "programs that automatically connect to internet" are you gprs settings (vodafone) whilst programs that "automatically connect to a private network" are set as my work network.
I can connect through WiFi, but not through GPRS
I have a similar problem. I've set up a POP3 account in my Outlook, and I need to be able to connect through GPRS and retrieve mail when I am away from my office.
When I choose "The Internet" in Outlook > E-mail Setup > Advanced Server Settings > Network Connections and I enable WiFi, it connects and retrieves mails.
If I switch to "Mobile Internet", it connects to GPRS when I hit "Send/Receive", but I get the following error: "Cannot connect to the incoming mail server. Be certain that the server name is correct, then try again to send and receive mail"
Is there any way to make this work through GPRS?
I have the following situation:
I received a Raphael for work purposes with push mail activated and i'm able to receive through gprs my work mails, go on internet using opera
at home I connect through Wlan to my router and I'm able to download emails from gmail and update my weather tab on flow3D
However I'm not able to:
- update the weather tab in flow3D using GPRS, only through Wlan
- update my gmail and hotmail through GPRS
- go on internet with opera using WLan
Purpose: I would like to link/update data using gprs or wlan for all applications except of course my work mail (this is using a proxy) depending were I am because wlan is cheaper and faster...
Any help?
Thanks a lot
any help please?
You havent given any info on your network, but try going into your data connection settings and turning off the proxy (not your work e-mail proxy, the 3g one) it causes a load of connection problems with some carriers.
