I am trying out qmail for a variety of reasons.
One thing I am finding frustrating is that qmail issues a lock in the folder where mail is stored. If I soft reset, the lock persists because I have the mail stored on the miniSD card, but this means I get the question "WM_user has locked the file, do you want to continue?" Answering yes clears it but since I want the program to run automatically at start up, I would like to eliminate the query. Is there a way to prevent the locking or, if not, to prevent the question?
Second, I went to the trouble to install a bunch of RSS feeds, none of which render properly. The nature of the problem is that html commands aren't being rendered, even with "html mode" checked. I tried a bunch of different settings (quote mode, raw mode, etc.) but none of them led to proper rendering. Clearly others using the program aren't having this trouble; can you point me in the direction that would let me see these feeds? I like the idea of a single program doing mail and RSS, all from the SD card.
I've been using qmail for a while now, and I've found the locked file problem is caused when qmail is running and your PPC is turned off. qmail doesn't seem to handle this very well, but if you shut qmail down before turning your PPC off you don't get the locked file issue.
As to the rendering html rss feeds, I've found this happens only when you are online and try and view the feed. If you are offline you just get a blank page, but if you turn the html view off you get the raw view of the feed.
Not a perfect program, but a whole lot better than the built in one.

Automate deletion?
Azol (http://www.azol.ru/texts/QMail3_eng_FAQ.htm) has a means of automating the checking of mail, and of semi-automatically deleting messages from the server when they are deleted from Inbox. I would like to automate this process -- adding a command to apply the rules using autopilot. Does anyone know how to do this?
Also, has anyone figured out how to put the number new messages Qmail has found on the Today screen? That isn't so important to me -- I'm planning on using Qmail for travel rather than as my regular service -- but it would help make it a complete replacement.
Finally, Qmail doesn't work one-handed very well; it would be nice if some of the Dpad keys did useful things.

You may want to use for example nScriptm to start Qmail: instead of just starting Qmail via a lnk file, just delete the lock file from a nScriptm script and, then, Shell () Qmail. Please see for example my latest screenshot-related article for more info on nScriptm.
Or Skschema
Thanks. I figured out how to do this with skschema, as in order to run qmail automatically from the minisd card, I need to delay launching; programs in Windows/Startup start up before the miniSD is available (I even tried a faster card to see if this would fix it, but it didn't) and hence don't start and generate errors. I use skschema to start qmail, and also to start phmtraylaunch since the icons from the minisd card aren't available, either, at the time it starts.

Yup, SKSchema / nScriptm is also a great tool to do this. With earlier PMRecorder versions, I did need to use it (see for example http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=513&c=1&page=1&more=1&tb=1&pb=1 if interested) to avoid the \Storage Card2 problem
Qmail is perfect for me, with one exception. When I hit reply, the original message fills the page. I just want a clean screen to type my reply, and I don't want to include the original. This program does practically everything but this. Any ideas?
Thanks

This can indeed not be got rid of.
You can, however, just tap and hold the screen, choose Select All and, then, just click Delete on the Keyboard SIP to get rid of eveyrthing.
Thanks, I was afraid that was the only solution.
qmail questions
I'm having a huge problem sending email with qmail. One thing that would help is if I understood all the settings in the program, which are different from anything else I have ever seen, probably due to it being translated from Japanese.In tool/account/general, I understand that host information refers to the incoming and outgoing servers, but what is to be put in "user information". Is "address" an email address? "User" tab seems simple enough, as I use authentication and just enter the same in "outgoing" as in "incoming". "Detail" is simple enough. "Pop3" as well, though I don't know what apop is. "SMTP" tab; what do I do here? I don't think I am using a local host. "Dialup" is ok. In "advanced" I read on this forum that my email address should go in "identity". Is this right? If so, would this be the address of the account I receive email with or of the account I send with(if they were different)? I have a comcast account on cingular service. The messaging program can receive and send email using mail.comcast.net and smtp.comcast.net with authentication and no ssl, but qmail can't. Two months ago it could, but now it cannot. Now I"m going to try using a hotpop account to send, but I'm not real confident this will work, since I'm not sure h ow to configure qmail. Any help would be apprecited, Meinnesyss or anyone else.

Here, you only need to enter the info that will be displayed as a sender name / address. In most cases, you can enter here anything.

Wrong. You must enter smtp.comcast.net in here.
SMTP error. (0x00030500) Error occured while MAIL command. Receive an error response. 501 expected [email protected] - <"">
General: outgoing= smtp.comcast.net
SMTP: local host= smtp.comcast.net
advanced: identity= my email address

I use PIE (WM6) and I want to login at www.hotmail.com to check my email (because with my telecom provider I need to use a proxy server to get on the internet, so I can’t use Windows Live), but every time I get the message: please enable cookies. And then the Windows live website gives an example how to enable cookies for IE 6 and firefox… So probably Microsoft doesn’t even recognizes his own PIE?!?
I get this message after I filled in my username and password and click on the login button.
Btw, I already activated the option “allow cookies” in PIE.
Can you login at www.hotmail.com using PIE (WM6)?
If yes, what settings do I have to apply?Hotmail: please enable cookies?
try this instead:
http://mobile.msn.com
Thanks, but then PIE closes itself?!?
I go to http://mobile.msn.com and click on hotmail.
Then PIE is Locating and opening it. But while opening it (I don't see anything on the screen yet) suddenly PIE closes itself....
How can I solve this?
Hey guys...
I need your help... I have been trying to install my CA Certificate so i can use it for XenApp Hosted Applications.
After 3 hours of struggling & trying to get my Xoom to recognize the Certificate i finally got it working by changing the .cer file to .crt & changing it from .pfx to .p12
& placing it on the mnt/sdcard/
So after it was recognized i was jumping with joy and started Citrix Receiver and logged in on my domain & started an app.. but i still get the same certificate error The error is "An Error has occured while making an SSL Connection to Xenapp. Please contact your Xenapp Administrator"
Please help.
I've given up trying to set up citrix directly through the app. I get authentication errors and certificate errors no matter what variation i use.
People that use ipads have no problems so I've concluded its just a matter of the amount of access/device types that have been granted by the admins.
Something that does work for me though: When I open my companies web access portal through firefox it downloads an .ica file that opens in the citrix app. I've tried other browswers including the stock browser, dolphin for pad, and others that don't work correctly but firefox does.
I am the Admin & I myself have setup the Citrix XenApp Server, and i know this for sure that Mobile Devices are fully allowed.
Even if we get the .ica via firefox are we able to run it & run the hosted apps? on the stock / dolpin hd browser it doesn't work nothing happens if you click on the apps icon.
thats what I meant. Getting the .ica via firefox is the only way i can get the citrix app to launch stuff.
Hello,
I am hoping someone can help me out. I have my work email setup on my phone using their webmail address. If I use the standard address, i am required to have Maas360 installed, which is not an option with me being rooted. Anyways, if I have the email program I use, which is either Nine or Mail Wise, setup for ActiveSync, my business server will catch it and block me. So, I have to setup the email app to scan for new emails every X minutes.
The problem I am running into, is I did not know that I had to have ActiveSync turned off, so now my device is banned when using Nine mail. So, I tried the same with Mail Wise, and got banned again. Now, on my third app, AquaMail, I have realized the problem, and its working great. However, I would prefer to use Nine mail. When trying to go back into Nine and recreate my account, i get an error that my device is blocked. I get the same error on Mail Wise. Both list a different Device ID. NineXXXXXXX and MailWiseXXXXXXXX. Is there a way to change this ID? I tried creating a new ID in Titanium Backup and that didn't change the IDs in the mail apps.
Thanks to anyone who can help!
you could ask the app developer (he should know it^^) or ask you sys admin. Normally it isn't that hard to unblock a phone (had done that enough).
I tried that. Sent an email a few days ago and haven't heard back.
Do you got a solution? I have the same problem, thx
Reply after very long time, but maybe could help someone else...
Nine email device ID is stored in a text file /data/data/com.ninefolders.hd3/deviceName. Could be changed with root rights. Changes become effective after re-start of Nine
Hey man, i'm in the same boat.
Thanks so much for sharing the solution.
Can you help me how to setup Nine so that it doesn't get blocked again?
Bump
Bump. I have the same issue. Any solution for non-rooted phones?

I recently tried to give Nine a DeviceID by amending this file. The Device ID is saved in the file, but Nine is always announcing the hexadecimal equivalent of that ASCII Device ID to the server. So if your approved ID by the server is in hex format, you can reverse it and put that into the file.
If not (which is my case), I would appreciate anyone who can indicate if there is a string that enforces Nine to keep the Device ID of the file without hex-transformation...
Hi!
I am using multi-factor authentication for all my Google accounts.
I am pretty sure that I once used app-specific passwords on my Android (that time version 4 of Android) devices to authenticate.
Yesterday I reset my device and also the app-specific passwords I created earlier. I recreated new app-specific passwords.
Then, after having restarted my freshly reset Android device I tried to add one of my Google account after the other. As part of that I am, for each single account, first asked for my mail address and password. But, for whatever reason the app-specific passwords are just not accepted. Once entered I am just prompted again and asked for my password. Fascinatingly Google seems to recognize that the password is correct, because if I enter a wrong one on purpose I really get an error saying that the password is wrong.
Entering my "main" Google password works and leads me to a UI then asking for my Google Authenticator code.
Are app-specific passwords no longer support for adding my accounts on Android or am I doing something wrong?
Thanks!
P.S.:
Yes I have seen this thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gen...n-specific-password-google-t2964926?nocache=1
But I wonder if there are meanwhile more official news available?
