I'm not sure how I did it, but I managed to configure my Tilt to sync with my work email. It worked for about a week then it stopped syncing. When I check the settings, the password looks way to long. I correct the password but it changes back to a password twice as long. I'm confused.
How do you all get work email on your phone. Do you push it somehow? I can access it online through an owa address.
First, the password looks long because it's masked to prevent people guessing it.
Ask your IT guy what to do.
Man something is going on.
The setting keep changing back. When I put in the server address, it keeps chopping of the end /exchange/. I had it running for a week. Everything was perfect. Now I can't set it up. It has to be something changing the settings.
Finally got it working.
My Tilt has always been reluctant to accept any change in settings without soft resetting. I changed the email settings, soft reset the device, and made sure to UNCHECK ssl encryption and it's working ok now.

Howdy,
I am having trouble using smpts with our servers here at work. It sometimes works and most of the time does not. When it does not work I get a generic message about not being able to download messages or the account info is not right. Obviously the account info is right as I can occasionally send. Sending and receiving are set up for secure access to our servers. When we watch the server logs sometimes what we see is that the phone connects and then does nothing. Other times we never even see a connection attempt. Of course now and then it will send the mail like nothing is wrong. Sometimes it seems that a soft-reset helps to send mail ONCE, and then it is hosed again. The soft-reset does not always work either. I did not try to use secure email when I had the stock ROM, has anyone done this?
Anyone using secure email on the Cingular 8125 (built in mail client) and having issues? I'm running the Molski beta 3.2 rom and typically have the phone overclocked to 240. I've tried dropping the overclock but that did not seem to help the issue.

Certificate
I had to install a certificate, provided by my company, to receive email.
We have a certificate on our server but the weird thing is that every now and then the phone will send the mail. When it works it works as expected and we see the log in and file transfer in the server logs. Otherwise it either connects and then just seems to drop the connection or does not even show a connect attempt.
How/where did you install your cert?
Cy
Sorry but I dont understand the problem.
I assume you are trying to use push technology with an exchange server 2003 sp2.
If so the certificate you need is the one installed as the security check on the server. In my case this is a self generated one using a domain name I own. Some people use a more secure one that can be purchased.
A good place to start with this problem is to go to the mobile settings on the exchange server and turn off the security, this will allow you to check this is a certificate issue, you need to check the obvious as well, firewalls etc..
I use secure IMAP and secure SMTP on summiter's last rom and it works fine most of the time. Sometimes it won't connect, but i think that is either a cingular issue or it also seems to happen if my push email (Exchange) is doing some random activity on my phone. It is definitley more reliable than trying to view my hotmail...
My phone prompts me about the certificate every once in awhile. I just click yes and move on. It prompts me after rebuilding the phone or randomly every couple of weeks, usually after a reboot.
what protocol are you using for receiving email on the phone? pop or imap?
try it on a 2.xx rom and see how it goes.
We do not use exchange here. This is not a push setup. I have the phone checking for mail every 5 minutes. We have a very customized Linux server running sendmail. As I mentioned earlier, the incoming pop3s is working great. But most of the time I get an error on the phone when trying to send using smtps. About 1 in 5-10 attempts will go right through. It is very strange that on our server we do not see much in the way of details. It has to be something about the phone/cingular service. When we check the functionality of our server config using a desktop client configured for secure send/receive it works every time.
Cy
"Why do we always seem to get these intermittent problems?"
weird. if mine is going to have trouble it just won't connect at all. once it starts downloading email, it will send as well. Try the new 3.3 rom and see if it works for you with that one. Mine is working great on there
Yes, I loaded the new 3.3 yesterday and it seems to have fixed the issue. Although now I am having trouble with Cingular's IPs not resolving so our server won't forward my emails. :/ But, that is another issue.
Thanks to everyone for trying to help me with this issue.

I have a strange problem with my new Kaiser and was wondering if other see that too.
After making a phone call and pressing the end button, the screen backlight turns off and the start button (hardware button & menu) no longer responds.
I have now worked out that this is caused by syncing with exchange server.
Is anybody else using exchange server push e-mail? Are you having trouble?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I already did a hard reset and set everything up from scratch. Didn't resolve it.
Many Thanks
Magxs
Please ignore...
Just worked out that the issue is caused by exchange server sync and amended my above posts.
Thanks
Sorry for posting again, but I am making progress.
I have now found that the problem is actually not exchange server sync but locking the device with a password (Start/Settings/Lock). I thought is was the exchange server, because our server requires the use of a password.
I did another hard reset and did not configure exchange. The only thing I did was lock the device with a password and tried making a phone call. Bingo. Locking up.
If the password is removed, it is back to normal.
Now that I know the issue, I will open another thread with a better topic.
If any admins see this, please feel free to delete my journey of discovery.
So I have had the ATT Tilt for a few months now. I love it, it does everything I need, how ever a few things are driving me insane about the phone. Please help figure these out.
btw I upgraded to WM 6.1, everything was fine for about 2 weeks and now it is acting up.
1) I know this isnt related to windows mobile upgrade, but when I send a text, is there any way to stop it from notifying me "message sent" alert?
2) This started to happen this past week and has never done it before. I have the device setup to check my att mail. Everything is fine, downloads messages, but when trying to send a message, it tells me "The message(s) could not be sent. Check that you have network coverage and your account information is correct. Then try sending again"
Like I said, everything was fine, until this past week. Never changed any settings, I have a strong 3g signal and I am connected to my home WiFi. If I disconnect from WiFi, it doesnt matter and I still get that error message.
3) When turning the screen display on, sometimes it turns on then off real quick. Its fine if I try it again and is only a fraction of a second, but when it does it 5 times a day, it gets annoying.
4) This is a big one that I cant stand. Every 10 minutes it tells me "you have such and such messages unread" notification. Granted there might be some email that is unread and I understand it, but how do I disable those notifications from popping up all the time??
One more question and it is a bit off topic. Help me understand how a ROM works. If I install a new ROM, that doesnt get rid of WM6.1 but more changes the interface of the pda right? If I change the ROM, will I still have all my normal functions of the pda? (camera, 3g, calender, etc....) Please help me understand how it works and what would be the most stable ROM.
Thanks everyone!
Sounds like someone needs to look at KaiserTweak for at least one problem.
The ROM is everything. It's windows, it's the software on it, the addons.. ALL OF IT. Of course you can add to it yourself but it's everything that you had on your phone when you turned it on after a flash. If there was no ROM at all you would just have empty memory on your phone.
I'm sure someone will have something more scientific to say but thats really all you need to know about that.

What are you using for your smtp server? cwmx.com? If so, that server is notoriously unreliable and has been known to be down for a couple of days. I experienced my last straw several months ago and since then, I have been using my ISP's smtp server (my ISP allows this; not all ISPs do).
Having stated that, though, on a few occasions I had solved the problem by simply deleting the account on my phone and re-setting it up. On those occasions, cwmx was fine; it was just something with my account setup on the phone. Like you, nothing was changed by me, but obviously something got corrupted/damaged somewhere.
My recommendation to you is to use your ISP's smtp server and if you are unable to do so, then try deleting and re-setting up the account on your phone.
I have the same problem with sending emails.
Its not the smtp server, it does not matter what SMTP server it was, but its WM6 itself.
The only way I know to solve it is to delete the email account, and enter everything again. Which is a nuisance because you have to type the email that you wanted to send, all over again.
this looks promising, I am giving it a try once I get home.
Do report as well if you can get it to work.

The mail question first. Is there any way to configure the mail account so that it leaves a copy of the message on the pop server? I would like to be able to check mail from my other account on my hero but I don't want it to download the message from the pop server and then delete it from the server. That way I can retrieve the messages with my outlook program as well when I am at home. The only setting I saw about deleting mail from the server when sending.
And now to the other part. I have noticed over the last couple of months(it is getting worse) that when the phone is plugged in and I try to do anything involving the keyboard or pushing buttons my phone acts crazy regardless of whether it is plugged into the pc or the charger. Sometimes the screen freezes or the keys will have like a 30 second delay or it will just reboot itself. NO I am noticing that I am getting random reboots. Once when I was watching a video on the internet. Another time it rebooted while i was checking my mail. This is happening at least 3 or 4 times a week.
Go into the Mail program. From there, push menu, more, then settings. Click on send and receive, then uncheck Delete mail on server. That's the only setting I see.
As far as your phone acting crazy, try a different rom if you're rooted.

Yeah I'd suggest a different ROM. What are you using now?
I have tried the Fresh 2.1, then 2.3.3 and it happened on both roms and I did do a factory reset between rom flashes. I am currently trying the cyanogen 6 rom. And eventhough I am not running app2sd I went ahead and replaced my sd card as well and that didn't stop the rebooting and random freezing.
Hello! i have an experia z (obviously) and a long while ago i changed my password on my google account. A few days ago, i was doing something (i dont remember what) and it said that it cannot access my google account. so i went into settings and removed the account and tried to relog in. but now all im getting is a screen saying it cannot get a stable connection to the server and asks me to use wifi for more stability. Sadly, i was already using wifi so i still went through the guided setup to select my wifi and try again. still didnt work. so i turned off wifi and used my 4g and it still wouldn't let me log in. So now im trying to troubleshoot ways to log in because i have none of my contacts and stuff like that.
it still lets me log into the account in the browser window and in the gmail app and in the email account setting in account. just not in the guided setup for making it the primary account. (i tried to add it as email and sync to think "just maybe it will work" but it only syncs emails :X)
my device is rooted and using stock rom
Here are things I've tried to do (some are from suggestions online that aparently helped others):
Reboot phone
remove data/cache from google play store
uninstall updates for google play
unchecking auto time
checking auto time
making sure time is right
checked for software updates
restarted phone, took sims card out and tried logging in
tried to log in through youtube app (which goes through the says black screened log in guide)
turned on airplane mode, turned off phone, turned it back on, then tried wifi and data again.
and i think that is all i have tried. But it tried alot of things so im not sure. Once again. i can log into the account on my phone in other places just not in this black windowed log in guide and yes im typing in the right password and username... i can add pictures if needed.
Bump also tried factory reset and going to website and did the trouble shooting guide. Still nothing
Bump threw phone at wall and drowned it in tub. Still not doing it
Also I called customer service. And like I assumed, all he did was tell me to reset cache and data and restart device. Then asked if I could try to factory reset and then couldn't find any other solutions. So im stuck
