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.
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!
hello, many times i cannot synchronize the mob with hotmail account. when i tap send/receive, although mob tries to syncronize my mails, it cant... why is that?
does it work sometimes or never?
What message does it give when sync fails?
there may be many possible problems so it is important to start eliminating possible causes.
without more info its hard to say but some possible reasons could be:
incorrect setup info (username or password or imap/pop setting)
phone not automatically connecting to data service when trying to send/receive, so check you have internet before trying to receive
your carrier maybe blocking mail port, test over wifi?
when using the phone number dit will not let me reset the password under "forgot my Password".
Under the email sign in it will not take the verification code. Difficult enough when it is case sensitive and it uses that funny print but I didn't get it wron 50 times.
I am ready to throw this time away.
Hi,
You haven't provided enough details to point you towards help. Like device make and model number. Or what you are trying to log in to? If it is Gmail, or another online mail service.... You need to contact them. No one here can help with that.
Thanks!
My family is not very savvy with computers/phones.
my mom has a Samsung galaxy S4 from a while ago and had her email setup for her on the phone (outlook/Hotmail). however, she has forgotten her password and cannot reset it because (stupidly) she had set the alternative email address to be of another email account that she has no access to!
The emails work fine on the phone though.
question is, is there a way to extract the email password on the phone? is there another way to change the email password without knowing the original password (i.e password reset)?
thank you.
