Hi everyone,
I bought an MDA Vario III on T-Mobile UK yesterday and setup email so I can send and recieve my Freedom 2 Surf POP3 email wherever I am.
I want to use T-Mobile GPRS/3G when I am out and about then switch to my ADSL WiFi Router when I am at home.
Sending and recieving worked fine using GPRS/3G and an SMTP of smtp.t-email.co.uk
When I got home and connected to my Wireless router instead recieving was fine, BUT nothing would send. I changed the T-Mobile SMTP setting to Freedom 2 Surfs (outmail.f2s.com) and all was fine.
The problem is when I go out again and want to use T-Mobile GPRS/3G it wont send until I change the SMTP settings back to T-Mobiles.
don't want to keep changing each time I want to switch connection.
I have worked around it for now by setting up 2 email accounts, one for Wifi (with the Freedom 2 Surf SMTP settings) and one for mobile (with the T-Mobile SMTP settings) but this is not ideal and I keep using the wrong one!
Have others found this problem and if so can anyone suggest a better way round the problem?
Cheers

Try using your email providers smtp server (e.g. gmails is smtp.gmail.com)

Thanks for the reply.
I have tried that. It works with my wifi connection (which uses Freedom 2 Surf for broadband) but wont send when I use T-Mobile.
Any other ideas?
The issues is that most providers have their SMTP servers set to only allow relaying from a specific set of IPs (normally their customers), so that random spammers can't use their mail servers to relay spam out to the world. You'll need to find out if your home ISP's email server supports SMTP authentication, so that you can connect to it with a username and password and it will then allow you to relay mail normally as if you were connecting from one of its authorized valid IPs.

Thanks for the reply explodinglemur. I figured that was the case as I've had trouble with SMTP settings on old handsets when changing sim & network.
I would be interested to hear how others get round this problem. Currently I have one account setup for syncing my F2S email with Outlook, another so I can send/receive my F2S email whilst mobile (using tmobile smtp settings) and a final one so I can send/receive my F2S email using wifi at home.
I am sure there must be a better way to setup email so I can lose one of the accounts?

What I do is I run sendmail on port 587 and configure SMTP to talk to my own mailserver at that port (e.g. smtp.infernix.net:587 in the smtp server config). This way no ISP filtering of port 25 gets in the way.
This does require AUTH SMTP. Configuring your mailserver is beyond the scope of this forum
I also had to setup a secondary SMTP port on my mail server because many ISP lock down TCP port 25 only to their own SMTP server.
You would need to find out if Freedom 2 Surf has/allows a secondary TCP port for this.
I have been searching thru the forum and i can't find any specific information about it
i use windows live messenger, email , and browse with Opera...I do use live search and google map too and i am with the 19.99 total internet plan now..
Just want to see if it is possible to save the 13 bucks coz i don't need hotspot at all....
I have seen posts that about changing proxy and get the internet with PIE to work but it doesn't mention about other programs like tomtom google map live search and i don't want to change it to the T-zones without confirming this.
Could anyone help please?
i'm in the same boat as you, the 5.99 works on my dash, so i'm expecting it to work on the tilt, but i just cant get it to work...now when i open up PIE, it goes from connnecting, to loading to opening, and just stays there and then gives me error #502... so if you figure it out, def let me know, thanks
omar
Same here, I have posted a thread about it already but no replies, Here. Do let me know it thr is any, n i'll do the same.
I can confirm t-zone plan works fine with google map, push mail to exchange servers, browsing using IE, and regular smtp/pop email. The weather update progam on the today screen does not work. On the other hand, SBSH Pocket Weather does work (I let it update throughout the day). NTP time server service also does not work (using CityTime).
1. add new modem connection -- cellular line (gprs, 3g);
2. access point name -- wap.voicestream.com
3. leave password blank
4. proxy settings check "this network connects to internet";
5. check "use proxy server"
6. proxy server: 216.155.165.50
7. advanced: change http port from 80 to 8080
Under network management, set Internet Connection to the account just created above. Leave private network as "My Work Network".
Soft-reset.
If you have trouble with POP accounts, edit each POP account and change connection away from "My ISP" to the t-mobile account.
Cheers
Okay i have tested this setting for T zones and i am trying to add a few details on it.
1st. Windows Live and Windows Live Messenger does not work =/ I guess it is because it doesn't support proxy connection. I am wondering if anyone can somehow mod it or change the proxy settings of these two programs with registry or other means so i can actually use it?
2nd. PIE works right away with the setting, but Opera won't. Later i add the proxy server in the Opera setting then it works like a miracle too=)
3rd. Some other IM site such as communicationtube.net does support the login of msn using T zones...Kind of a substitute even tho the stock messenger works much better.
4th. for 13 bucks/month the only different is probably only on Windows Live and Windows Live messenger....or if someone can actually provide a mod version of these two programs or a tweak that changes their settings. T zones works perfect for kaiser...
I can confirm that GMM works with the method listed in the link below with the $5.99 T-Mobile Web plan and WM5. But "My Location" does not, may be my phone (Cingular 3125) http://www.ehow.com/how_2245457_tmobile-shadow-any-windows-mobile.html
Did anyone successfully get T-MobileWeb to work on the Tilt to get internet access? I am able to send/receive email but cannot get PIE to connect tot he internet. I've setup the usual T-Mo proxy setting but is there another proxy in PIE somewhere? Is it an issue with PIE connecting through a WAP port?
Thanks.

I think therefore I am.... confused!!!
you need to search forums for tilt tmobile, thats what i had to do..how are your MMS working out... i cant get mine to work after i changed my proxy to get the $5.99 hack... i am thinking i might have to get the data plan.. let me know if you get it working...
these are the settings i am using;
Under Modem,Edit, needs to be wap.voicestream.com
under Proxy the setting needs to be, see below;
This network connects to internet, network uses a proxy server to connect, box need to be checked.. 216.155.165.50, then under advance
216.155.165.50 port:8080
216.155.165.50 port:1901
216.155.165.50 port:1901 or 03 worked for me
sockets, need to be blank
guys, i was able to get both working, however, not on the stock at&t tilt rom. first to get the mms working, i just went to settings-connections-connection setup, and let it setup ur settings for tmobile usa. this will not allow your mms to work. now go to the connections and modify the settings for the 5.99 plan (i posted the exact settings a while back, search for it).. all u pretty much gotta do is add the proxy. good luck
omar
ps..if ur using the tilt rom, i never got the mms working, and wasnt able to access the internet on the 5.99 plan. on the 19.99 plan worked fine tho

Here's the setting:
5.99
start
settings
connections
connections
under proxy settings check: this network connects to the internet
check this network uses a proxy server to connect to the internet
proxy server should be :216.155.165.50
click advanced
http: 216.155.165.50:8080
wap: 216.155.165.50:9201
secure wap: 216.155.165.50:9201
socks (blank)
under modem, your access point name should be : wap.voicestream.com
name and password blank.
under advanced check use server assigned ip address
use software compression
use ip header compression.
T-Mobile Total Internet
The only differences is instead of wap.voicestream.com, its:
internet2.voicestream.com or internet3.voicestream.com
And instead of ports 9201 its 9203.
i did try those settings...(that is what they are set to now) my internet has no problems, but my MMS does not... so i cant understand the prob!
I've tried all the settings provided by we3zy but still can't get it to work. In PIE, it kept on saying "opening..." and then came back with the following error:
Error 502 - Bad Request
The server could not resolve your request for url: /
Any thoughts?
- Thanks.
OK, got it to work with accessing internet and email by adding a modem setting. However, I have to switch the two connections depending on which function I need.
Under Setting, Connections, Advanced button, Select Networks...I need to do the following:
In the Network Management screen I have a few choices but only the two settings in the top choice (Programs that automatically connect to the internet should connect using: ) need switching. When I click on to select the choices, I have setup one for accessing the internet and another to get email.
Is this normal or am I the only one that have this issue? Its kind of annoying to keep on switching the setting for the functions. Any way to combine the two connections or have the device auto choose and connect automatically?

I really can't explain why your getting that problem. But visit www.yahoo.com and then visit google.com again. I had that problem on the iphone, don't know why.
Make sure you've checked:
use software compression
use ip header compression.
and all ports are 9201
the settings above worked to get ny internet browser up i am currently on google with the original at&t rom now im gonna check my emails and weather plug ins

They are all checked. I changed all ports to 9201 even the http and now when i open pie it says
"You do not have access rights to this site
URL=www.google.com/
Status=20(hex)"
Also it adds "wsp://" in front of any link i type in the browser. Maybe you didnt mean change the http port to 9201 but i gave it a shot. are you guys and XXwindowsXX using the 5.99 deal? and it works?
email routing issue + cannot download TM's w/ pics
Hi All ~~
It sounds like I may have found the right msg board! I am a T-Mobile customer using an unlocked AT&T phone with the original ROM (minus the bloatware). I currently have three msging accounts on the Tilt: text msging, a hotmail account and a work email account (which I check via Outlook on my PC). I am having two annoying problems:
(1) I keep getting TMs saying that I have received an email on my work account; however I cannot (a) get the text msg notifications to turn off, nor (b) get the emails to actually pull down into the account. So: I know I have a work email (even who from), but cannot read it. Any thoughts on how to resolve either or both of these issues?
(2) I cannot receive or send pic text msgs. Really annoying; I am curious to see how other T-Mobile Tilt users have their settings arranged for this.
Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide ~~ Kim
TYTN/Hermes settings?
These settings in post four, would they be the same for the HTC TYTN/Hermes as well? After going into cnections, I notice that there isn't anything called connection settings. Just add new modem conection, proxy settings etc. I'd really like to be able to get this T-Zones up and running on my Hermes as well.
Thanks,
Cristobal

Yes, it should be. You'll need to add a new modem connection and edit the proxy settings. PM me if you can't get it to work and I'll try to help you.
Tilt Solution To Force Http Instead Of Wsp On Tmobile
Our good friends at ATT have two cab files in the \windows folder which install and remove a hidden proxy. By default, it funnels through the proxy.
BAD ATT!
If you are using T-mobile's 5.99 gprs plan and the HIDDEN proxy is enabled, all traffic will be routed through the hidden proxy and you will be forced to WSP:// pages. This will effectively lock you out of many of the sites that do not support the WSP protocol. Other carriers (Orange?) may be doing this too to drive WSP traffic.
To correct the problem, go to the windows folder and
1. run the restoreHiddenProxy4CWS_0522.cab
2. and then run the removeHiddenProxy4CWS_0522.cab file
3. Close your data connection and restart it. If you don't know how, just press the reset button.
After this is complete install the standard T-mobile GPRS settings and you should be in good shape. If you need a cab for t-mobile, search the board for the most current one or PM me. I keep one handy too.

So after doing that, will I be able to browse regular HTML pages (without going through proxies) using the 5.99 plan ?
i have a ty tn II and t-mobile is my carrier and i have the 19.99 internet plan,so i would like to know what are the correct settings for the MMS cause i cant sent picture messages nor recieve them..please help me thanks

try this:
server name: call it whatever you want
Gateway: 216.155.165.50
Port: 8080
Server address: http://216.155.174.84/servlets/mms
Connect via: whatever you called the server name
Sending limit: 300k
WAP version: WAP 2.0
make sure you set this MMS server as default
The 5.99 plan requires a proxy. No exceptions that I'm aware of. The good news is that I've not found a page that I cannot browse. The speed isn't stellar, but quite acceptable. Additionally, since the power requirements for GPRS are low, I check email every 10 minutes.
There are a series of CAB files floating around here somewhere that have all the correct settings for each of the Tmo plans.
Same phone also ulocked for T-mobile Final solution
I suggest that you start afresh (Hard reset your phone)
then go to this link and download the cab
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1521768&postcount=70
download this cab
tmobyjoe599.cab
I had the same problem as you but that worked for me and im sure it will work for you.
Oh before i forget make sure that you disable automatic wireless configurator, that stuff is crap.
p.s note to be a pain in the ass. Next time search the forum even google will lead you to the answer of your question.
Hi all,
The proxy server is used in wireless system at my work. I enabled proxy server configuration in communication manager and i can connect web sites with internet explorer.
My question is, while i am unable to connect windows live messenger, there're also no proxy configuration on it. Are tehere any way to use messenger through proxy server ?
Or, i guess Windows Live for Windows Mobile is brand application came with WM6.0. Do you know may i use old messenger versions via proxy? Or do you know any other msn client with proxy support ?
Thanks in advance for your help.
you can setup the proxy in live messenger
I couldnt find any place to enter a proxy address in messenger. Could you please tell me where can i enter the proxy?
hey, I connect through a proxy for all my internet (using tmobile usa), and I was never able to figure out how to use windows live via proxy. however to download my hotmail emails I finally found a work around. you have to upgrade ur hotmail account to hotmail plus (20 dollars/year). now u have access to pop settings and set up a new email account using those settings (not through windows live) good luck
omar
I do not care mails, i even dont use hotmail for mailing.
i need to instant messaging to keep talking with my girlfriend.
You can't use a proxy server to access WLM Service from your Pocket PC. It simply doesn't support this.
The way that the client communicates with the Messenger service greatly differs when using a proxy, and support for this is not available in the mobile client. You NEED to create a direct connection, which thus prevents you from connecting in networks where using a proxy server (HTTP or SOCKS) is mandatory.
My mobile connected to Wifi but I couldnot surf WEB cause I didn't know how to setting up
my working Proxy via port 8080.
Help me!
Same problem here, but a little diferent.
I connect to the proxy server in my office network trough wireless access point, and then it asks me for the user credentials. I put in the credentials (i have an unrestricted account, i'm one of the administrators) but then it keeps asking me for them as if i had used wrong credentials! Are there any configuration on the proxy server to accept WM6.1 connections?
Thank's!
Hi,
My Provider gave me an offer to use gprs/3g unlimited browsing through opera but no outlook e-mail, using a specific proxy server which limits file downloading to 1MB, gives free web access but stops POP/IMAP traffic completely.
Is there any way to make outlook *automatically* use the standard gprs/3g settings and proxy server in order to receive/send e-mails (and of course pay for that traffic) and at the same time Opera *automatically* use the unlimited data settings (and of course not pay for that traffic)?
Activesync is all webdav over https - whether or not the proxy is configured to allow it through is another thing.
If you go into connections, and specify the proxy, activesync should try and use it (I tested on mine with an invalid proxy address, and activesync failed to work, so it should work in theory)

Thanks, but I don't use activesync (if you mean sync with my PC).
I download mail through the air (3g or gprs). I don't have an internet connection at home (don't blame me for that, plz), and at work I am not allowed to install activesync...
