Does anyone know of any bugs/issues with Windows Mobile (or any specific rom issues, for that matter) that exist with attempting to use multiple IMAP accounts? I used one of Dutty's roms before, then Alex's rom (I believe), and I'm back to Dutty's and still have the same issue. I can only seem to get one IMAP send account to work. Basically, when I was on Alex's rom, only my work IMAP would work, Gmail wouldn't. Now that I've re-flashed to
Dutty's rom, I can't get my work to send messages (and I'm certain it worked on Alex's and Gmail wouldn't), but Gmail does work. Any ideas?
Has no one else had this issue? Is there a setting or something that I've missed? I've looked up and down the phone, but see nothing...
If you're looking for issues regarding sending email, you have to search for the SMTP protocol, not for IMAP. POP3 and IMAP are used to receive mail, SMTP to send.
Are you sure the SMTP server you are using is accessible through your internet connection (I mean like 3G, GPRS, EDGE, not WLAN)? Most likely this is where the problem is situated.
Gmail SMTP is accessible through a mobile connection, but most SMTP servers from ISPs are not.
Good luck!
Yeah I'm sure. On Alex's ROM my work email would send ok (which didn't actually use smtp.xxxx.com; instead mail.xxxx.com), but gmail wouldn't send anything (using smtp.gmail.com). But now back on Dutty's, my work account wont send, and Gmail will. Does that answer your question?
In a way it does.
I tried using different SMTP server just now, but one of em didn't work. It might be the exact same issue as you have, but I think my problem has got more to do with the SMTP server itself than the configuration.
Sorry
Basically my issue only exists in SENDING emails. I can receive emails from all accounts fine, but I haven't been able to get more than one IMAP account to be able to send. Anyone else familiar with this issue, or have encountered it as well?
att smtp
I use att and the only smtp that work is their smtp. Even though you can receive any pop, you can only send through them. That may your problem
But that can't be it either. I've gotten GMail's SMTP to work on my latest ROM...just can not get my work, which is just mail.xxx.com instead of SMTP, which doesn't make any sense since I've gotten it to work before; basically I've gotten each of them to work before, just not at the same time. Also while I was at work Friday, I had our IT manager pull up the email server log, and on "send/receive" it shows it me connecting, receiving, but when it comes to sending messages, nothing reaches the server; it's like something fails on the PPC's end before it reaches the server. And I've quadruple+ checked the address, so it can't be that either.
Nobody else know anything about this?
While I was looking for something else, I ran into this:
Q.How can I configure Exchange ActiveSync to support multiple SMTP domains?A.Exchange ActiveSync locates a user's mailbox by using the primary Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) address. However, if users have a different SMTP domain in their e-mail address, they cannot synchronize their mobile device with Exchange Server 2003. To address this issue, you must add a registry key to force Exchange ActiveSync to locate the user's mailbox by using a secondary SMTP addresses. For more information about how to configure Exchange ActiveSync to locate users' secondary e-mail addresses, see You receive an HTTP_500 error message when you synchronize your mobile device with Microsoft Exchange Server 2003.
Caution: Incorrectly editing the registry can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Problems resulting from editing the registry incorrectly may not be able to be resolved. Before editing the registry, back up any valuable data.

Its a right pain setting up POP3 mail acocunts, in fact I've never had one working.
Currently I've solved my Yahoo and Hotmail accounts by using Windows Live and forwarding all my mails from yahoo to hotmail.
But I've got another POP3 account that wants money to set up mail forwarding. Sod that me thinks.
I'm 100% sure that all my settings for POP3 mail retrieval are correct,
INCOMING: pop3.graffiti.net
OUTGOING:smtpx.graffiti.net
USERNAME: [email protected]
P/W: XXXXXX
all yes to outgoing secure authentification, and same ID for sending emails.
but no dice grandma, no emails and a message telling me that im not connected or have incorrect account settings.
My internet connection works fine 3G and GPRS, I use it all the time, I have tried to retrieve emails while synced and while roaming, still no luck.
Anything I'm being thick about, or is the POP3 mail facility in WM6 just really fickle and buggy?
Thanks in advance for all help
Pop3 is fine. I have never had any issues with it in WM2003, WM5 and WM6.
I don't know graffiti.net personally. but a quick look at their login page and the fact they have a link to "interaction with other devices" or something like that suggests that you need to enable it on their website.
(Yahoo email requires you to log in to the webmail client and enable pop3 forwarding and access before you can access your emails via outlook or on your device and I am going to guess that graffiti make you do something similar)
Here in the states on AT&T I have to use the AT&T smtp mail server for sending email, but getting my POP3 email works fine. have you ever had your graffiti pop3 account working somewhere else?
Guys,
I am having an issue where I can read email but cannot send email. This is a basid (free) Yahoo account.
When sending I get a message saying "....error synchronizing". I have confirmed that my email setting is using MediaNet and I have also confirmed that all of my data connections settings are stock.
Any ideas?
I am using a stock rom AT&T Tilt with no additional programs loaded.
I assume you've specified cwmx.com as your SMTP server?
That fixed it....bztips you da man! Thanks for the help.
Yeah, noob's (including myself) often get hung up on that. You'd think that somewhere somehow the cell phone companies would PROMINENTLY publish their SMTP servers and explain to new users that they have to use that instead of their email account's SMTP server.
IMAP doesn't seem to work in any of the WM6.1 ROMS. Anyone know how to work around this?
I'm having my mail account configured using IMAP and it works without problems (WM6.1 Lite). I also had it with 6.1 "full" and WM6.
Whenever I setup a new email address it doesn't give me the option to NOT automatically get settings from the server for Gmail.
To make it work with Gmail you have to not use the default settings. I had it working just fine with WM6. Any ideas?
Have a look here.
https://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=78886&topic=12920
With the wm6.1 versions floating around there is no "check box" - that's the problem.
To resolve, you need to enter in a bogus (or incomplete) domain name for your email address in order to "fool" it and stop the auto pop3 config. then you can choose imap and afterward go back and correct the domain.
Are you talking about for exchange or for just a normal Outlook Mobile email that I added? Whenever I add a new email address through Outlook it doesn't ask for a doman.
Can you explain in more detail maybe??
Edit: I tried the bogus domain thing and it didn't work. Hmmm, this is pretty crappy. Unless there's a fix I might have to to back to my old ROM, cause the main reason I have a Treo is for email :/.
I don't have wm6.1 anymore (the version I was using was not ready for primetime IMO). But when asked for your email address (the first step I believe), do not put @gmail.com, instead make it gmai.com (not the missing 'L') then proceed through inputing everything else correctly, at some point you'll be asked for the mailbox type (drop down of pop or imap). Choose IMAP and carry on to finish. then go back in and correct your email address. synch your mailbox...
Worked like a charm man, thanks a lot!
I can't send e-mail from one of my e-mail accounts on the phone. The only thing I think that might be an issue is I can't turn off the option "Use the same user name and password for sending e-mail" on the "Outgoing (SMTP) mail server:" screen - it is greyed out with the box checked. Is there a way I can uncheck it. I tried deleting the e-mail account and re-entering all the information, but that didn't help. Thanks.
Dunno if it helps but I 'think' it logs into the account and checks is there's any incoming mail ... before it will send. On some testing I did, if the account didn't exist, the email wouldn't send.
DRZ400 - Thanks for the reply. It does seem to check for incoming mail first. We use two different servers - one for incoming and one for outgoing mail. When I try to send I get the message "The message(s) could not be sent. Check that you have network coverage and that your account information is correct. Then try sending again."
Another interesting thing I've noticed. This e-mail account is used by Outlook on the PC. When I sync to the PC (even though I don't have e-mail set up to sync), the e-mail that I created on the cell phone gets sent.
A Lot of the carriers require you use their unsecure smtp server for sending mail. Example: AT&T's is cwmx.com
So, check your cell carriers preferences, not your ISPs mail settings for smtp.
Need more input...
Exactly - UnHolyOne - that is what I think my problem is. I can NOT uncheck the section to use the same user name and password to send messages (as to receive them). I believe my provider does not want a user name and password and therefore I can't get access because I'm trying to log in. At least that is the only thing I can think of so far. (I tried using smtp.cwmx.com for my outgoing e-mail and that didn't work either.)

it's not smtp.cwmx.com, it's just cwmx.com. No www., no smtp, nothing else. No username and password. Try that. It's not the greatest, and it's not secure if that's an issue with your business or anything, but it works if you are on AT&T.
That did it!
BlowFish64 (and UnHolyOne) - THANKS - That did it - I works now. I really appreciate it. (I shouldn't have assumed it needed the smtp. in front of it).
My employer hosts a webmail enabled Microsoft Exchange mail server. I am able/allowed to conntect to this server using https://webmail.myemployer.com from all web browsers and from all locations I have ever tried (I travel a lot), except ofcourse from my X1. Neither Pocket Internet Explorer nor Opera works; same result (Error Code 500: Internal Server Error).
I have retrieved the certificate from the mailserver, copied it to the X1, installed it and restarted the phone. Same result (doesn't work, same error code).
Is the access to webmail enabled Microsoft Exchange servers restricted on the X1? Can Exchange block access from cellphones? Is anyone reading this able to access Exchange webmail via SSL?
My ultimate goal is ofcourse to get the mail/calendar/tasks/contacts setup via ActiveSync but realize that I probably need to get this part with the webmail to work first. Colleagues of mine have successfully set it up on their iPhones, but ever since my first encounter with McIntosh back in 1984 ("an error of type -1 has occurred - Abort - Retry") I just can't stand that crap. I have no idea, but I doubt iPhones use ActiveSync.
if you know your Exchange webmail address, a WM phone can automatically configure Exchange. Open ActiveSync and on the right softkey menu, click "Configure Server" and type in your webmail address, username, pw etc and it'll automatically set up your server for push sync. If it works on an iPhone it is definitely enabled.
Close, but no cigar. The ActiveSync setup doesn't work and returns 0x85010004 "Your account in Microsoft Exchange Server does not have permission to synchronize with your current settings. Contact your Exchange Server administrator." I have verified the right settings at least five times. It doesn't work.
Activesync needs to be configured separately on the exchange server to work wirelessly.
Have you tried to put /owa/ at the end of the URL in your browser?
Yes. No luck. When I enter the URL above in the address field of a browser and press enter it eventually (in the successful case) changes into something like https://webmail.myemployer.com/exchweb/... but this is not the case when trying to access same URL from the X1 (then it simply stops with the 500 error code).
Is anyone reading this able to access MS Exchange webmail over SSL with the X1?
This is strange. Have you tried your account on an iPhone? There might be a problem that is isolated to your account only.
Edit: If you are using Exchange 2003 this might be a server problem. Refer to:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/817379
Yes, I Have
I access my company email account via MS exchange webmail on my X1. We dont use a 3rd party website, just type in the IP address of our server followed by "/exchange", dialogue box pops up for username and password and im in. Nothing had to be set up on the phone but, IE does not work ...has to be Opera and Im currently using the version that came with the phone.
I also had the same issue of Outlook Mobile Access disabled at Exchange, but Outlook Web Access enabled. Try Seven"Out Of Office" OWA connector or eMoze, both of them worked for me. Seven enabled GAL/Directory lookup as well...
Thanks. I tried adding /exchange without luck but was able to atleast get to the login page with the following URL (which I copied from my laptop after successful login): https://webmail.myemployer.com/CookieAuth.dll?GetLogon?curl=Z2F&reason=0&formdir=2. I can enter my user name and password and even click on "Login" before I get the 500 Internal Server Error message.
Strange...
I've also looked at Seven and emoze. Didn't even know they existed. Thanks for the tip! Seven seems operator dependant and as my operator charges €10 per month for it, it kinda fell out of the picture. Emoze can successfully fetch my e-mail through the OWA (webmail.myemployer.com + usr + pwd) and it works like a charm.
Almost...
Emoze has some pretty severe issues with its calendar synchronization in that it handles repeat calendar entries incorrectly. Emoze will keep adding duplicates of these in an eternal loop (about one duplicate per minute). I had to use a tool called Allcleanup to wipe all calendar entries. So a warning there. Also, emoze will add some corny "this mail sent by emoze" on all outgoing e-mails and this seems to be unavoidable, even in the pro version. Plus emoze handles character sets incorrectly (Scandinavian/German characters like ÅåÄäÖö are not translated correct). But if you "just" want to be up to date with your inbox, emoze works fine I guess. I now use GoogleSync and ActiveSync with Gmail and Calendar, emoze for work mail and contacts.
