HTML Email in ActiveSync (Zimbra Network Edition) - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

Hi,
I have ActiveSync setup to sync my email messages. This works perfectly, however HTML mail is displayed as text (so the CSS and all is displayed at the top of the email without any proper formatting). In the mail options for the server the format (where HTML/text is displayed) it is grayed out and it is defaulted to text. The mail server is Exchange compatible, we use Zimbra Network Edition. On all platforms the mail is received in HTML however it doesn't seem to pick this up.
Any ideas how to fix this?

New Gmail via IMAP Server Questions

I'm sure most people have already seen this, http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/...ly-your-mobile-email-client-and-gmail-fall-i/
I configured this per directions on the Gmail site and now have it listed as one of my email accounts. I can even send messages, but can not yet receive. Also, it hangs on the "Looking For Changes" screen and never says "finished" as my other email accounts do. I am wondering if anyone else has tried to configure yet, and if anyone is having luck?
Works ok for me on an HTC Touch. Have you enabled IMAP in Gmail? It's under settings >> Forwarding and POP/IMAP. If you don't see IMAP, it's not been setup for your account yet by Google.

I answered my own question, helps if you just show a little patience, never been my strong suit! For anyone else as impatient as me, a few tips. Make sure you manually configure your email settings. If not, it will not pick up the incoming server as an IMAP server. So, long story short simply follow the below instructions and voila, you will be up and running in no time.
Configuring other mail clients
You can use the following information to configure IMAP with many mail clients. If you encounter difficulties, we suggest contacting your mail client's customer support department for further instructions -- we're unable to provide assistance with configuring mail clients not listed here.
Incoming Mail (IMAP) Server - requires SSL: imap.gmail.com
Use SSL: Yes
Port: 993
Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server - requires TLS: smtp.gmail.com (use authentication)
Use Authentication: Yes
Use STARTTLS: Yes (some clients call this SSL)
Port: 465 or 587
Account Name: your Gmail username (including @gmail.com)
Email Address: your full Gmail email address ([email protected])
Password: your Gmail password
I noticed that some of my emails aren't fully downloading in IMAP mode. I switch it back to POP and the same email comes up completely. In IMAP mode, the body of the email is blank. Any ideas?
It sounds like you are only downloading the headers. Depending on which mail client you are using, you need to change the settings to download both the header and body of each message, or you can download them as you view them (usually by right-clicking a message and selecting "download").
Not working for me... Guess they havent updated my account to work with the the new IMAP servers!
In Progress
I have 2 accounts. 1 is updated to include IMAP, The other isn't.
Keep in mind if not already mentioned, Language selected in settings must be English (US).

Nope. Made sure the selection was to download the entire email and the entire attachment. Which brings me to another topic. Even when in POP3 mode with those selections made, I still have to manually download the email and attachments.
But, no, still unable to see the emails. It's funny though because it indicates that the entire file was downloaded.

HTML Email in Outlook/Exchange

I cannot seem to be able to get HTML emails in Outlook from my Exchange 2003 server.
Everything I receive is in plain text, yet the emails are HTML.
When setting up the Exchange server on my TYTN2 (duttys 2Y8 fix) I get the choice of plain text or HTML, I select HTML, but after it is setup I see it has changed to plain text and is greyed out.
It does not seem ROM dependant as it has been the case with all the ROMs I have tried.
Any email that is HTML based is in plain text with the links shown, but no HTML formatting.
I have tried to find others with this problem, but searching does not yeild results.
Please help
I believe this is due to exchange server settings, not your phone. I sync with exchange 2003 & have the same results. HTML email is fine with pop3 or imap.
Dave
HTML with exchange only work with exchange 2007
looks like i will need to upgrade the office server to exchange 2007.
Thanks for the replies, I honestly thought HTML would work

Outlook Mail

Hello everyone.
So here's a little problem I've been having the past couple of days...
I'm using MS Outlook 2007, which I have set to retrieve my emails on hotmail through POP3 (for some issues that I've managed to fix by doing that, I hate Outlook connector ...) I've also programmed it to delete emails from server when I download them on my computer
So far, everything works great, as expected.
Now, here's the deal.
By doing that, my email account (server-based) is empty, so on my Htc, I can't set up Windows Live to retrieve emails, because there's nothing to retrieve.
The only way I can get it to have my emails on my TD, is to set an ActiveSync connection to my pc and have it sync my emails. But when I'm on the go, I don't have them...
What can I do to have them?
set outlook 07 not to delete mail from server - common sense no ?
I wish someone would say that
Yeah it is common sense... The only thing is, that it keeps it on the server, no problem for that... But it doesn't mark it as read... So it keeps poping up in outlook, so I end up having 10 times the same email...
Get rid of hotmail and use a proper service like gmail with IMAP.
Ahah I've been dreaming to do that... But since a use like every product of microsoft (Xbox 360, Zune and so on) so I have to use a Hotmail account...
Windows Mobile 6.1 Hot Fix for Sending POP and IMAP E-mail
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...;displaylang=en
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.
download the cab file and store it in ur phone memory and run it.
So this will allow me to do what... ? Because clearly, I didn't understand your post...

QMail Email Client

Hi,
Anyone use this email client? It states you can view emails as HTML, but I when I receive those "sales" emails from Amazon.co.uk, they are all in text, they look nothing like the email I see on my computers Outlook.
Any ideas what I could do? Does the default mail client in HTC Touch Pro support HTML viewing?
You can find the software here: http://handheld.softpedia.com/get/Internet-Utilities/Email/QMAIL-8837.shtml
The reason Im using QMail is because the default mail client always uses a data connection rather than WiFi, is there a way to change this?

Access MS Exchange webmail

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.
