[Q] GPG or Open PGP for WM 6.1/6.5? - General Questions and Answers

i am looking for gpg or a newer pgp for windows mobile 6.1 to 6.5
(or any gpg or pgp that will work)
i would love it integrated into an email app but i can not even find
a simple cut and paste or text file gpg text file encryption solution
pgp mobile from symantic appears to be not only costly but requires a "server" for some unknown reason other than marketing..
a clipboard encrypt/decrypt or text app that will encrypt/decrypt
the only app i could find was pgp mobile 1.6 from 2003 and its not compatible with newer keys. and is no longer available
i found a link to "PocketConsole - a Windows NT-like console for the Pocket PC "
but the link (http://www.symbolictools.de/public/pocketconsole/) is dead
is there anyone developing gpg or open pgp for windows mobile?
thanks for any info

I'm surprise no one uses pgp for their email.
I tried to goggle about PGP for Windows Mobile but unfortunately no good result. I think pgp corp stops selling this product together with pgp palm...

[PATCH] Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.1

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 Since these messages could be out of date, you might not want to send them now.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.

Shouldn't this be applied if you run the Microsoft Update from within the WM6.1 device?

Certificate in Windows Mobile 6

Hi,
I have this "problem": for my home banking, my bank get me a personal certificate to use in browser pc.
Well, I would use my home banking from my tytn (WM6) and I should install the certificate into the pocketpc...
How? Where? And this certificate (compatible with pc desktop browser) is compatible with the pocketpc?
Many thanks
you'll probably need a whole different certificate for your PPC... as it's supposed to be a *.cab file.
ah...
thanks for the support

Hows to associate alternative to Pocket Word/Excel in e-Mail client?

I have a HTC Touch HD running Windows Mobile 6.1.
Also using Blackberry Connect to provide wireless synchronisation to email, contacts and appointments via my corporate BES.
Have the SoftMaker Office 2008 for Pocket PC to allow me to work on word, Excel and Powerpoint files on my mobile device.
The SoftMaker Office 2008 programs (Testmaker, Planmaker and Presentations) are all associated with the appropriate file file types.
For example if I click an an excel file the file is opened for editing by Planmaker, not pocket excel.
The Problem.
I receive office type documents as attachments in my windows mobile device email. However when I open the attachements from within the eMail the default pocket word/office applications are used to show me the attachment instead of the Softmaker applications.
I work in EH&S and the majority of attachents I receive are Incident Notification Forms consisting of large mutil tabed excel sheet. Because they are large and they take a long time and considerable space to fully download.
I am happy to be able to see the initial part of the attachment (with option to download more) but I would like to see this in Planmaker as pocket excel screws the formating so badly I cannot read the summary information (displayed on the initial tab on the spreadsheet) which I need to read to determine if I should download the entire file to my mobile device for immediate action or wait until I am back in the office.
Is there a way to associate an alternative application (eg Planmaker and Textmaker) other than Pocket Word/Excel to handle attachements in the windows mobile e-Mail Client?
I have asked this of the Softmaker Office Support team but they were unable to provide a solution.
Hope I have explained my issue appropraitly, any help greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Ed
No ideas from anyone?
