When connecting to PC the wcwscomm.exe process sometimes leaves a port open to my POP3 server holding my email server hostage. The only way to allow Outlook, or other email programs access is to kill the process, or take the phone out of the cradle. Anybody know how to get ActiveSync to let go of the POP3 when done with it?

hi there
is there any way to syncronize my XDA over the internet?
can you tell me the steps for that
thanks in advance for your help
I'm assuming that you need to sync with a Exchange server?
It's not quite so easy, basically you have to install an enterprise software component call Microsoft Mobile Information server, this is a chargable option (quite expensive).
It acts like a proxy gateway between your PocketPC and the Exchange server. Your company may already have one setup, i doubt it.

If by chance all you need to sync is POP/IMAP & Avantgo, then you can do this by simply;
1 - Setup the POP / IMAP service in you "inbox", then when you are connected just hit the sync button
2 - When in avantgo (in IE) just click on Tools down the bottom, then hit "Modem Sync" whilst connected, this will updated all your AvantGo stuff.
Cheers

I'm a little unclear on your setup, but I'll ask some questions here. Is your computer connected to your Exchange server on the LAN? Your computer has to have access to the Exchange serverand Outlook configured for the server for it to work. I don't know how well it works over a VPN, but I'd imagine it'd probably work, if that's what you're using. If you're trying to do it over a general internet connection without a VPN, it definitely won't work.
Thanks surrealmonk
Iam trying this from my home pc which is connected to net by dialup so its not in LAN.But i check my emails and conacts by webmail from my home.
I have tried sucessfully by GPRS to sync to exchange server its ok,but my question is why to use GPRS when i have internet at home pc where pocket pc is docked with this i need to sync my all conacts & calendar mails to exchange server.

I definitely don't have any good answers to the age 'ol problem of connectivity issues with Activesync. I have been scouring the internet for hours and hours and hours trying everything and anything imaginable to get it working flawlessly. I haven't seen a Thread like this anywhere so I thought I would make one with easy, quick navigation to a system of solutions.
What I am running and have tested the following avenues on:
ROM Version: DCD 3.2.5Radio Version: 3.42.30
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here is what all the different forums recommend:
- Reinstall Activesync- 4.5 is the most resent and, supposedly with the fewest bugs.
- Restart both desktop/laptop and also soft reset the PPC
- If you are running a Firewall, either:(a) Follow the instructions on this page to add ports to your firewall to allow communication with Activesync(b) Completely turn off your Firewall. "Not reccomended"
- Some sites recommend that you turn off your antivirus to see if that helps. "Also not recommended"
- Ensure that no other program is using the same port/ports that activesync also uses. Most of these programs are file sharing, remote login, and other similar programs. -If other programs do exist, either alter their ports or turn them off completely
- On the PPC- toggle the "Enable advanced network functionality" on and off- located START->SETTINGS->CONNECTIONS->USB to PC
- Opening Outlook. Some say this helps Activesync connect.
- One far fetched idea is to continuously pull out and plug in the USB cord until it connects. If it still doesn't connect, restart PPC and try again.
- Replace the USB cable and/or trying different USB ports on the computer---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have done everything imaginable and I can't seem to get any kind of a reliable connection.
Here is a list of all the issues I have had:
~ Activesync connects and never syncs, arrows turning~ Activesync in the Sys Tray says connected- arrows stopped, but the program says connecting- arrows turning- Never connects~ Activesync connects, starts to sync- then suddenly disconnects and no longer recognizes the device~ Activesync tries to connect but says it cannot communicant with device- Runs troubleshooter and finds nothing wrong~ Windows identifies device as unknown and avtivesync does nothing- even searching for the device turns up nothing.
Some of these issues are a hit an miss, but I am almost guaranteed to have one of the above problems every time I try to connect.
If anyone has any more ideas for me, that would be great! Please help spread the word of known fixes to the horrible world of Activesync.
I truly hope this helps everyone who reads it.

Have you tried deleting all the mobile devices showing up and then start over.....you can also go into the device manger and delete everything there as well....if anything is showing....
I am experiencing the exact same issue with the exact same Rom/Radio. Now when I go to Connections\USB to PC and try to uncheck "Enable Advanced network functionality" I get this message: Failed to disable RNDIS to use Serial. Hope this helps in troubleshooting.
Thanks for all you do DCD and GC!
Web2mail calendar & Desktop Calendar
After signing up with Web2mail live version my active sync has two accounts. The outlook account I familiar with and the exchange server account via mail2web.com.
Is it possilbe to sync my desktop calendar under activesync with the exchange server calendar? Any pointing to help, threads or pdf manuals would be greatly appreciated.
Ciao
Darrell
I believe that if you click on each account under activesync you will be able to select what you want to sync with each, but cannot be in both. I do all but e-mail on my work PC. Use the Exchange server for e-mails. When I plug into cable on PC it will sync both the exchange server and the PC items.
Device is a Sprint HTC Touch Pro. Every time I connect it to my laptop with the USB cable to ActiveSync it makes me enter my password on the phone before it will sync. This is rather annoying. I also do Exchange ActiveSync which requires the device to have a password set for security reasons.
Is there some way to disable having to enter the device password every time I sync with the computer, or is this just something I am going to have to learn to live with due to the device password requirement in order to do Exchange sync?
I know on my old Treo 700 there was a way you could just disable it but I can't find anything like that on this device.
Help please!!!
So I'm the only one having this problem??
When I first set up the active sync with my PC it asked me if I want to use a password every time I sync with my PC. The default is yes. Try delating the partnership and set it up again. I am also syncing with an exchange along with my PC.
Since you have a password set up on your device, you'll be promped on ActiveSync to enter the same password. So yes you'll have to live with it. I know it kind of is annoying.
I've had Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync set up on my phone for a few weeks now. Over the past weekend I noticed that it quit working. When I opened up the email app it said something to the effect of it wasn't connecting to the server. I deleted the email account and tried adding it in again, but it just won't connect. I will put in my email account and password and it'll eventually say it couldn't connect and there is a button to manually edit the setting. When I click that It shows the server as pod51010.outlook.com. I know this is the correct server and since I didn't put it in it must have been able to successfully find the server, just will not allow me to connect for whatever reason. I have co workers that are using other android phones(HTC inspire, Samsung Stratosphere, Google Nexus) and none of them have the issues. It's just my phone.
Anyone have any idea what's happening?
EDIT: I also check my Captivate and it no longer works, So maybe its just a selection of Samsung phones.
