Hi to all,
I have a problem with my customer. Users use outlook express, or similar pop3 client, in order to access theirs mailbox through internet. Firewall permit only pops traffic so, only port 995 is allowed. When you configure a mail profile in Outlook Express 6.0, you can configure secure comunication in "Advanced Options".
Now, I would like to use XDA but pop3 client in Pocket PC 2002 doesn't permit secure comunication over pop3. Is it correct? Do you know a pop3 client that provide this features?
thanks
Lorenzo
Hi Lorenzo,
PPC 2002 has the same problem for both POP3 and IMAP. Here is an article on how to tunnel IMAP over SSL:
http://www-unix.oit.umass.edu/~mgilbert/S_Imap.txt
You can easily use the same setup to tunnel POP3. For example:
stunnel -c -d 110 -r your.mailserver.it:995
Windows Mobile 2003 seems to have SSL option for both POP3 and IMAP accounts.
Good luck,
Mike.
Fantastic. I will try this procedure.
thanks a lot

Hi
I need some advanced setup tips for my email.
My server requires "username" when logged to incoming server, however on the outgoing "[email protected]" as the username to be able to send email.
I can do this on outlook at my desktop but on ppc wm2003 doesn't allow such advanced setups.
Can I do it on outlook? Or is there a small add-in software or a seperate software that'll do it?
Thanks,
Ceki
My Smartflip deletes mail from the server when I delete it from a POP3 account I have setup. On PPC's I could choose in the account setup but there is no such option on Smartphone.
Is there a mechanism to tell the Smartflip not to delete mail from the server, i.e., "Leave on Server" option?
Thanks for any help.
Anyone? I would also like the answer to this!!
Thanks..
I don't know about the normal MS Mail client.
I use ProfiMail, with that you can define it.
You can find it here.

I have done nothing but research since last night about how I can use ActiveSync for Exchange with a different port but can't seem to find an answer.
What annoys me more is that this can be done on the Apple iOS.... a dumbed down, off the shelf, user device but not on our devices.
The standard email.apk doesn't allow you to specify a port, only allows SSL on/off. I am running SSL over port 8081 due to my hosting ISP limitations.
K9 Mail will allow me to use a port but doesn't sync my contacts, calendar, etc... I really need ActiveSync!
Any one know of how we can get ActiveSync on Android to talk on a different port to the standards?
Thanks!
For anyone in the same boat as me.... I found a reasonable solution that works quite well.
1. Forward your domain email account from your domain to a Gmail account, authorise Gmail to send and receive for your domain email account (you can set it to default to reply from your domain email address). Two ways you can forward:
A: If you're hosting an exchange server you can create a contact in Active Directory, make that contacts email address the gmail account email address. Bring up the user properties of your domain email account, select Exchange General tab, select Mail Forwarding, then select the contact you just made. Apply all and that will forward to the Gmail account.
B: Put mail forwarding options on your domain host to forward your domain email account to the gmail account. This costs some money but not much (currently about $5 per year with Go Daddy).
2. Export your contacts from Outlook into a Windows CSV file, Gmail understands this file with no issues. Gmail will inherit all your contacts once this is done.
3. Setup the Gmail calendar with whatever specifics you need (time zone, etc).
4. Setup Gmail on the Android. It works like a dream... I've not found an issue with that setup yet and I get my email, calendar and contacts all sync'd happily
Really hope this helps someone.

HI,
i am using htc SXL and wondering which one of the above is the best (quick) one to receive emails? (push email).
thanks,
You can google the differences between POP3 and IMAP.
Basically POP3 will delete messages from the server once they are downloaded to your device where as IMAP will keep them on the server but mark them read. Only if you delete them youself will they be removed from the server. So if you also read your email on another computer/device and want to see all your messages new and old, IMAP is the better choice.
Exchange works similar to IMAP as far as mail goes but also allows you to sync calendars as well. I use a calendar for work in Outlook via an Exchange server and it syncs nicely with the Android calendar app.
Good morning all,
I am looking to setup my yahoo mail via active sync again but after lots of research I cannot seem to be able to find the server name required. For example hotmail is m.hotmail.com
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Are you 100% sure Yahoo are using Microsoft Exchange I would have thought their use something like pop3 or IMAP?
Well i had the others set that way and had a feeling yahoo was too
Yahoo does not use the activesync protocol. Instead, use its imap settings.
Alternatively, you can download the Yahoo app for push mail and contact integration.
