Using an at&t SGT with overcome 1.3.0. Long time linux user, and well-indoctrinated into homenetworking. Somewhere > novice but < journeyman android user (got an n1 spring of '10 and my SGT in 1/2011)
At home I use wi-fi most of the time on my sgt. I have an imap server in my home lan, and want to connect to it and check mail from my SGT (while on my home lan). I have done the manual imap setup with default email client -- no worky. I have tried K9 too--no worky. Both rather quickly say 'cannot connect'. I have used both my imaps server's ip and name -- no wroky. I have used both port 143 (default imap) and 1143 on my SGT (yes i changed my server to listen to those ports, too) -- no worky.
Finally i can ssh fine to the box running the imap server from my SGT. I can telnet to my router from my SGT, too. Monitoring some of the logs on the imap box doesn't even show any sort of hiccup that the SGT even got to the server (while attempting to imap).
Imap works ok from thunderbird to the target imap. . .
Any ideas where to check next?

Almost fixed. Turns out my SGT was probably not at fault...
There is/was some wicked combo of selinux and iptables that was blocking inbound connections and then i had issues binding to ports using the ip of the host (when iptables was sorted out).
The later bind issue still persists but running the imap/mail server (who's ports are > 1000) as root fixes that. . . User space apps not binding to ports >1000 is new to me. . .been running fedora core versions since its beginning and haven't had this issue before. The imap host is a fc 13box; disabling selinux didnt help, either. I guess this is no longer an android issue. . .
Besides i am just talking to myself anyways...

Hi experts!
I need a little help in this one.
I want to access to my hotmail account in my inbox on my HTC.
I can only access to ports 80 443 and 8080
I have already tested httpmail Provider (which need a hotmail Plus subscription and I have only a @hotmail.com mail) ,and it crash with a Logging On and a screen with :'The server returned an invalid response (with a lot of jibberish **** and a (80042003), Error Source:HTTP Status :Logging On
I have already tested pocket hotmail 2.5 (it doesn't work ,it doesn't pass the Logging In and I get a: 'connecting to server failed)
I read some stuff about mail2web(actually good) ,with a not pratical solution ,going through hotmail->izymail ->gmail ->mail2web
but izymail doesn't keep a record of the mail,and most important thing it's not free.
So, what can I do ?
I know there is a HTTP way to get the mail (http://services.msn.com/svcs/hotmail/httpmail.asp)
With the Peracount app ,i would like to see if I'm receiving some mail.
Thanks in advance!

I velieve I installed windows livw from a cab I found on here. Let me knowi fyou cannot find it. Search for Windows Live 10[1].6.33.0600 (Fixed).zip
Windows Live for Windows Mobile
Microsoft actually makes it easy this time, though this page is not easy to find. Just load Windows Live for Windows Mobile and you are fixed.
Also it allows you to use your hotmail contacts and to save you phone contacts to hotmail
https://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/mobile/wl/download-en-us.mspx
I have tested both solutions:
As I said before ,I can only surf with ports 80 8080 and 443.
With Windows live (the fixed and with the link) I cannot pass the Checking Internet connection (I have one,I was surfing to test it).
I was thinking develop a small app which connects to the HTTP site and try to catch if there are any new mail and put it on the today screen.
But I cannot believe there is no solution for my problem.
Could you give us more details about Windows Live app not connecting. I use that app for my hotmail and it works flawlessly.
Whose your service provider? (IE, T-Mobile, at&t)
I'm on a french provider : SFR .
The problem is that I cannot pass the Checking Internet connectivity.
I think the problem is the port (it must be testing another ports rather than 80 8080 or 443).
I think his internet connection is wap based (via proxy) and that's why he can't pass the internet connection check
Yes ,I think that's the problem.
That's why i was wondering if a small app cannot go to the hotmail site (http) and catch some information
Are your connections settings using a proxy server?
Yes ,it is using a proxy server to connect to Internet ,and then it blocks all ports except 80 8080 and 443
hey, had same exact problem. on tmobile USA's tzones plan it uses a proxy connection so windows live doesnt work. after lots of time, i finally figured out one way that works perfectly. first, you have to upgrade to hotmail plus. you can now set it up like any other pop3 email account. search google for hotmail pop3 to find the settings, otherwise ill post them for you when i get home. this is the ONLY way i ever got it working. good luck
Is there any way you can set up a connection profile without using a proxy server?
With at&t for example, connecting via a proxy is only necessary for accessing the Media Net home web page.
@ omaralt :
Hotmail plus is free ?
@GWelker62
All data must pass via the proxy
no, its $20/year, well worth it for me

I would suggest spending the pocket change like omaralt suggests, and get hotmail plus.
Hi all,
I'm having an issue when trying to synchronize two diamonds and a cruise (all of them running wm6.1 FRE) with an Exchange Server 2003 SP2. Each time I try to synchronise through GPRS/3G , i'm getting an error (n° 0x80072EE2, wich means server not available).
Below is my initial situation :
Synchronization is ok using USB on all device. ActiveSync 4.5 is configured to use server "mail.mydomain.com", refering to a different IP address depending on whether synchronization is initiated from outside or inside local network. From outside, a redirection from gandi.net transfers mail.mydomain.com to https://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/exchange, "xxx.xxx..." being my exchange server's public IP.
After spending days looking for a workaround, here's what I've tried :
- Disabling WM DNS cache (tried with both DnsCacheEnable and DnsCacheEnabled registry entries) and soft reseting the device, as suggested here : http://forum.soft32.com/pda/Wireless-Attempt-results-Error-0x80072EE2-ftopict76576.html ;
- Unchecking the "use proxy" box in my connection's advanced properties ;
- Placing the OWA redirection (https://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/exchange) on a new subdomain : webmail.mydomain.com, in order to have mail.mydomain.com pointing the same public IP address inside and outside the network.
Now I have :
mail.mydomain.com --> public_ip
webmail.mydomain.com --> https://public_ip/exchange
So, theorically, putting my public IP address or mail.mydomain.com inside ActiveSync server's configuration should be exactly the same (except for certificates). Here is my problem : When using directly my IP address, I can see the request going through the firewall, to port 443 of my exchange server (but getting a certificate error, since i'm supposed to be connecting using mail.mydomain.com). When using mail.mydomain.com, I still get the 0x80072EE2 error, and nothing goes through my firewall..........
Looks like there is no DNS lookup during wireless synchronization when using a domain name in activesync configuration...
Thanks for reading, any help would be great.
Hi
I've been trying to setup an IMAP account on the built in email. But can't seem to connect to it, it says:
"Cannot connect to the incoming mail server. Be certain that your login information is correct, then try again to send and receive email"
But I'm definitely sure all email account info is correct.
Wierd thing is, when I go back to the email Accounts setup, I notice the password there rather than ******* 7 characters long password it is like ********************** 20 characters long. I've tried changing back to the real password, but still don't work and if I check the Accounts setup again, the password, again shows really long like ***********************
I've tried accessing my IMAP email account through the internet on the phone via Opera, and that's working OK.
Any ideas?
Mmmm...
Can't really help you with your settings, but I can answer one question for you. The masked password is always a long string of ****'s. This is so no one can guess the actual number of characters in your password.
I've never set up an IMAP account, as I use POP3. I had an issue years ago when I was first trying to figure out how to set email up on these things, but I'd just got the incoming pop address wrong. I went on the internet and Googled the proper settings. Sorry I can't be of any more help
During the email set up there is a link for Advanced Server Settings. There there are settings for Require SSL for Incoming/Outgoing email. You might try toggling those. It depends on the IMAP server setup. Which IMAP server are you trying to connect to? I run my own IMAP server. The difference between IMAP and IMAPS (i.e. with SSL) is that you connect on a different port. If your IMAP server only accepts IMAPS then it's listening on one port but you're asking on another.
I've noticed that the email doesn't work when using activesync for network, but it's fine if using WiFi for example.
Actually, the problem is probably Activesync itself, as I have network problems with it... Activesync seems unable to remember proxy settings, its like it works after the initial setup , for a few minutes, then any proxies that were setup there are gone a few minutes later, just dissappears and consequently the network won't work anymore until I manually set it up again
I am in the UK on vacation, and just tried to check my yahoo mail. It would not connect to the server, so I deleted the account and tried to add it again, using the same set up I had before (I wrote down all the settings). That didn't work, so I went online and looked at other problems posted - and I tried all combinations of settings, from imap.mail.yahoo.com, port 993, ssl, to smtp.mail.yahoo.com, port 465 to 143, to android.imap.mail.yahoo.com to android.smtp.mail.yahoo.com and NOTHING works, all I get is "unable to open connection to the server."
Would this have anything to do with me going overseas to the UK from the US? I wouldn't have thought so, but I cannot figure this out.
I'm using the IMAP option, putting in my [email protected], my password, and all the manual settings (automatic didn't work either) - help someone please? Please note, I am rooted with Gingerbread.
type email address then password > go to manual setup > IMAP
Incoming Server Settings
Username = [email protected]
Pw = xxxx
IMAP server = “imap.mail.yahoo.com”
port = 143
Security type = none
IMAP Path prefix = none/blank
Outgoing Server Settings
SMTP Server = “smtp.mobile.mail.yahoo.com”
port = 587
security type = none
require sign-in = yes/checked
username = [email protected]
pw = xxxx
After that select w/e options you want for inbox checking frequency, a name for the account, and then the name you want for..something I don't remember. I set it up a minute ago using these settings and it loaded up fine.
If you're having problems, try connecting to wifi and doing this again.
If that doesn't work OP you could always try the official yahoo mail app that's out on the market - (market link)
Edit: I'm running a CM7/Gingerbread equivalent ROM as well

Still doesn't work (yahoo email)
I tried all these settings, but can't get past the incoming server setting - tells me unable to open server connection. I know there's no problem with that, as my gmail emails are coming in just fine - and I don't really want to have the actual yahoo application on my phone, not unless I absolutely have to.
Finally got it to work
After trying everything, in desperation I took out the @yahoo.com and just put the first part of the name in as user name, and then pressed "next" so that it would do it automatically (although I'd tried many times before) and immediately it worked. I checked the settings, and this is now what it has:
INCOMING:
android.imap.mail.yahoo.com
port 993
SSL
OUTGOING
android.smtp.mail.yahoo.com
port 465
ssl
don't know what happened, or why this wouldn't work for over a week, and I've been trying every day. Anyway, it works now, and thank you to everyone who helped!
is there a way I can work the built in VPN client to connect to a VPN using IPSec mode
i'm kind of a noob regarding this issue
i have the directions on how to set up the connection in an iPhone using the IPSec mode
i have
> server address
> account name
> password
> group name
> secret
for the connection
now, how do i work this into the android client
i tried configuring using different combinations of this info above
but it says "Unable to connect to network. Try again?"
i have a rooted samsung galaxy s 2.2 stock froyo
any help is really appreciated
tia
edit: the handset is technically a samsung captivate, although I don't suppose it'll make a difference
Unfortunately the stock Android kernel won't work with a VPN requiring a Group Name. If you've got a google account (eg a gmail address) you might want to add another star to issue 3902 to ask for this to be fixed.
code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=3902
It can be done if you replace the firmware with something which includes the tun device. The Galaxy SII supposedly includes this out of the box.
The alternative is to reconfigure the VPN to use L2TP/IPSec and authenticate with a certificate rather than preshared key.

Sorry those two links, well, aren't links. Being new here I'm not allowed to post links in case I'm a spammer.

Using only the built-in VPN client it's not possible to connect to a Cisco VPN.
I made a small How-To (Link) to get this working on 2.3.3, but I think this way should basically work for FroYo too. Maybe you should give it a try
