I've just upgraded rom2 to rom 3 last nite but one minor problem.
Before when the X1 (o2 UK) was on Rom 1 and Rom 2, I could access my Hotmail directly on my phone but since I upgraded to Rom 3, it automatically opens up Opera or IE and goes to Windows Live thing?
I want it like it before where I can download all the new email msgs on my phone as oppose to going online via Opera etc.
Any help?
there was nno difference for me,
updated to R3A and setup hotmail account as normal via settings menu.
just like before

not the case for me.
Every time I set up a new email, it automatically opens up mobile.live via opera. anyway round this?
Hmm, I just tried to create a test account, if you set something with a hotmail.com address and let it setup automatically it launches Opera.
had the same problem. found this on another thread:

Like some of you already noticed. There is a problem with Live Messenger and Vodafone, which denies access to the Live Messenger server. with this client the problems are solved. i just tested it and i got back online!

no one has use for it?
so your saying it will accept wifi connection and not data gprs?
tvos
It just works like normal. Vodafone or Microsoft have blocked connections to Windows Live Messenger. with this client it works again with HSDPA/GPRS/EDGE/WIFI
I was able to install the app and use it with my tilt w/no problems over wifi.
Thank You!
tvos
Thx, this is just what a friend of my needed.
i don't use IM MSN much on the pocket pc, but at times it has been helpful. it was a pisser to find out that AT&T choose to use their data network restricting wifi to the OZ IM application.
anyways, thank you!
tvos
Just tested it on 2nd vodafone device. And it works. thx.
this version saves the msn contacts in the contacs list..
ugghh
is there a hack to prevent this?
This is the version 10.6.23.300 and the most recent version is 10.6.33.600
Hmmm. I had problems as well and remembered a post from someone stating that the use of the proxy in the Voafone GPRS connection settings was causing the problem. After unchecking the "this network uses a proxy server to connect to the internet" it magically worked!
I am now using Dutty's ROM v3 (need to update my signature) and radio ROM 11.31.
Please let me know if this worked for you guys!

No it does not work, i still can't connect to the MSN network via WLM.
What kind of version of WLM do you use, to connect to the network?
yes.. but the latest version doesn't work
But the old version adds your MSN contacts to your contact list @ mobile phone.. that sucks ;x.. but it works.. Grmbl..
yes..
i have more than 170 contacts on msn, so i had to put on fring..
mah.. i really don't understand why they are blocking msn..
:|
do you guys think it is possible to crack the latest version without the annoying contacts sync?
i'm looking in to it now.. using fring too..
I suspect that this is from windows mobile 5? as all the files are dated 30 October 2006.
I've got a call open with M$ at the moment, and the "helpful" chap is suggesting I try a reset (like I havn't done that 100 times before).
I'll let you know how it goes.
Also, the problem is on Three as well as Vodafone, but its OK on Orange and T-Mobile. Can't confirm o2 either way though
I installed MSN messenger .cab yesterday and it works beautiful!
I had a question though!
When I login to my account, it says that it will put all my contacts via IM in my exchange email contact address book. Whats the story with this and can I say "NO" to this option? Will this screw up my outlook email address book?
I removed those earlier from the address book not realizing it deleted a few MSN IDS.. Thank God for restore!
please advise!
tvos
I installed it on my vodafone 1615 and ik worked I say ik worked because indeed it imports all your msncontacts in your addressbook even the contacts where you already entered the messagge-contact in their info, they are doubled so i removed it again and wait for a newer version
Thanks man. I had for 3 weeks some problems with windows live and after installing this cab it works like a charm.
Thanks m8!
Hi guys I have an htc diamond no brand and i am getting crazy with the setup of the mail. i mean the account email from the tf3d tab. every time i try to set it up (i have an hotmail free account) i cannot complete the configuration because opera starts up and i go to the webpage of hotmail. If i close opera, no account have been created so i have to start from the beginning again. i cannot save the account, i am able to fill in only the page when it asks the email and the password, nothing more!!! what's up??(((

i tried to set up an outlook account and it works, it is saved but i can't do it with hotmail... why??
Err... the FREE Hotmail doesn't support pop3...
does it?
You can set it up with outlook and it SHOULD work with Windows Live.
Hmm, I've set up my Hotmail account twice without problems as far as I can remember. Entered my email address and password, tapped Next and it was recognized as such by the set up software. Maybe having Windows Live Mobile installed has something to do with it? You can try if that helps if you want. Here you can find the cab file, courtesy of my custom ROM dealer
When it opens up opera it goes to the windows live login page. Just press log on or whatever it says and enter your info. should work since I've done it several times..
it starts opera to windows live page and then i clic on hotmail but i only cann see the mails from the webpage and no account is created. every time i have to do the same thing...

Hi there. I had the same problem as you. But I solved it.
When I first got my phone I configured it so hotmail would turn up in my inbox, without opera or any browser, but since I installed the latest ROM I couldn't get it to work - when I tried to configure hotmail as my email it wouldn't save my account - just open up Opera.
But I now know how to do it. You can't set hotmail as your email directly, you need to configure Messenger to do it. WHen you do that, you are asked if you want to use Live (something) as well as Live Search. I removed Live search but kept the first one. Then I was asked if I wanted my email and contacts to be synchronized and I klicked Ok. Now when I click on my emailtab I have my hotmail emails there!
/S
Thanks for the advice. Work fine for me.
Hello, since a couple of days i've been experiencing problems using iGoogle on my opera browser... The problems started after upgrading my phone from 1.37 rom to 1.93, but they're probably unrelated to the rom.
I can access the google page, but after entering my email and password to login to iGoogle or gmail something strange happens: I am directed to a completely blank page, with 1 word in the top-left of the page "Google". Nothing else. Also, a small icon of a lock appears in the address bar. The address bar displays an url starting with https://.
One time i got an error message saying i had cookies disabled, but when I checked in the Opera settings it was enabled, and i never changed this... so this appears to be a problem with Opera not allowing cookies, since google wants to place a cookie when you log in.
Does someone recognize my problem and know how to solve it?
Some other people have the same problem, see here.
I have the same problem. It started a couple of days ago, and I didn't change any settings. This was before I updated to the 1.93 rom, so I should think it's a problem on googles side, and not with the phone.
I'm still able to access gmail with Internet Explorer (but the light version for mobile phones).
i sorted mine out .solution here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2557072#post2557072
It's a different problem to the one you had coopigeon, and the solution that worked for you doesn't help here.
I think omnivore and jaeger are on the right track that it's an Opera issue in how it's interacting with the gmail servers, perhaps relating to 1.93, or some new settings google are now using??!
It used to work or me, and now it's not working for me (after I upgraded to 1.93) so I'm stuck to using IE for e-mail checking
Yes it's different, because I use a mail account set on IMAP for gmail and that works perfectly... I don't even want to use the browser gmail, cause the WinMobile account stuff is good enough for me.
The problem is indeed related to the way the Opera browser interacts with the google page. I have now tried something:
I typed the entire url in my desktop browser... and voila, there i was on iGoogle. I guess my new diamond is not as shiny as my old desktop pc ;-)
The long url i get when i try to log in on starts with https, which means it's a secure connection, and apparantly Opera can't handle it. Either placing cookies is disabled in the software (although the settings say different), or the browser somehow can't redirect from the https secure page, to the normal http page.
Are there programmers here who can look into this? You'd be a great help, cause I'm addicted to my iGoogle with 10 different news-sites! RSS feeds don't even come close...
I use my hotmail all the time, and have been using it on my Diamond for the last 4 months successfully.
Yesterday I logged into Hotmail on my PC and I got a message about Hotmail has changed... better layout etc - but since this I can't get it to work on my Diamond.
I go to www.hotmail.com and then enter my user and password. I get the inbox screen, but it never fully loads (the green bar is about 1/3rd of the way). I can see my new messages in the inbox, but if I click on them nothing happens. Can someone else try this and tell me if its just coincidently collided with my update to the new Dutty 2.8 ROM - or have Microsoft added Flash content into the Hotmail page or something?
I've also tried Opera Mini - which is exactly the same making me think its not my Dutty ROM.
I'll be a bit miffed if I can't check my Hotmail anymore on my Diamond, as its one of the main things I need an 'internet' phone for.
Right... I've now set up the Windows Live application - so that my Hotmail comes into my Outlook. It seems to work well, but when I do a Send/Recieve from within Outlook it connects via my GPRS / 3G rather than my Wi-Fi (which is connected at the time).
If I do a sync from within the Windows Live app, it syncs by Wi-Fi.
Its a bit annoying as I just got a message with a 2mb attachment. I try to open it, and even though I'm connected by Wi-Fi, it still tries to downlaod the attachment by GPRS!
I've looked through all the settings, but can't see anything? Any ideas?
I've just tried it and got similar results; I got the "we've changed the design a bit" message then my inbox loaded up fine, but I could click on any of my email messages. It was like the page just wasn't registering the clicks at all.
It's not a complete killer for you though as you can access your Hotmail inbox using the Windows Live application on the Diamond which, as I understand it, will skip the web interface entirely.
EDIT: Sorry dude, I was still typing when you made your second post so I didn't notice that you'd already found the Windows Live app. I don't use it myself so can't offer any help with the issues you're having there.

Thanks for trying it. I don't know what they've done in their changes, but its pretty annoying!
I'm probably better using the Windows Live program anyway as it will be quicker anyway. Its just annoying that it wants to connect to GPRS instead of using my Wi-Fi!
made a post in the general section as it seems to affect other WMs aswell?

Hi, i just update my Xperia X1 with the new R3A update, and all seems to be fine, until i try to configure mi Hotmail account in the e-mail services.
It seems to find the configuration for the Hotmail account, but when i finish the configuration process, the Opera Mini gets open and reddirects me to the mobile Windows Live site.
Does anyone had this same issue?
Thanks a lot!

I've always had trouble with inputting settings for the email service for Hotmail, but windows live usually does the trick for me. Have you tried the windows live app that comes with the phone?
Hi Sfkn2!
I usually use the e-mail app for all my e-mail accounts, POP3, Gmail and Hotmail. Just today it starts not working.
Maybe it's a Windows strategy for us beginning using more the Windows Live App.
I notice a few minutes ago that Opera is the predeterminated browser now.
Weird....
No idea what happened but I am experiencing the same problem. I would rather do the send/receive thing then open up opera to view my hotmail. any fixes for this?
Didn't had the problem. But you can try windows live to configure you're hotmail.

hi.
So where do I go exactly to configure this? I can't find it when I re-directed to mobiles.live.com via Opera.
I just want it so I can download my hotmail messages directly to the phone via clicking on send/receive. There must be a fix for this.
Download and USE Windows Live Panel!

My question is why is this only happening on the r3 rom when it didn't happen on the rom1 or rom2 ?
Just config it manually.
First, create an account with some unknown email address such as [email protected] (we will change back later) then edit account settings and use these parameters.
Incoming mail server : pop3.live.com
User name: Your FULL email address ex. [email protected]
Outgoing (SMTP) mail server : smtp.live.com
Check those 2 boxes. (require authentication & same username)
Click Advance server settings. Check another 2 boxes.
Done.
thx kanthai, this method worked for me perfectly..
Thanks man!
updating windows live does the trick, the R3A rom does not include the latest build
how do you update windows live??
also would the push email work with these setting as ive never managed to get that working?

I can't seem to send emails now with the above settings. I can however still download emails to my phone. It was working fine a few months ago.
I get the error "The message(s) could not be sent. Check that you have network courage and that your account information is correct. Then try sending again"
Any ideas why?
Solution found
Guys, I have found a solution after almost one week frustrating, I got same issue as suddenly my hotmail account disappeared. When ever I tried to add account in email wizard, it was redirecting to opera with mail.live.com. I spent so many hours on XDA and many other forums but was unable to fix this. Right now just 5 minutes ago, by playing here and there, I found a solution, I have successfully added my hotmail account and it working 100% perfect. Not sure if it was a particular fix only.. but I will highly recommend to who ever have had this issue, try these steps.....
Go to Start menu, programs....
Click on Windows Live.... ( note, its "Windows Live" icon, no email or live messenger etc....
Now you are on windows live desktop, windows search box is at top of page.
Click on right bottom corner, "menu" and choose "Account Option"
Choose first option..... "Clear Password" .. done?
Choose second option, "Switch Windows Live ID"
Wait for a while and wizard will bring you to windows "Sign in" page....
Just close this page and you are done....
Go back to your "Email Wizard" and add new account as hotmail....
You will able to add hotmail account without any problem.
This is what worked for me after one week almost trying every thing. I am on X1i using Touch IT Leo 11. Please leave comments if it work for you. Good luck to all.
