Guys,
My company's security group recently pushed out an "upgrade" to the GoodLink client on my personal Mogul Power PC that allows them to arbitrarily (in practice, during working hours) disable access to my Pocket Outlook apps, including POP3, IMAP and even text messaging clients. The GoodLink Messaging client apparently accomplishes this by replacing all shortcuts and making changes to the registry. I suspect that that is the extent of the problem because Pocket Outlook apps running during the morning lockdown period continue to function normally, but become inaccessible if shut down.
I would greatly appreciate some assistance in installing or implementing a workaround.
Thanks,
Goodbane
P.s. I am using a corporate-installed Good Mobile Messaging client (v5.0.3.23_EN) with WM6 Pro CE OS 5.2.1238 (Build 17745.0.2.3) on an HTC Mogul.

Hi All,
I need some decent add-ins for outlook mobile. The limitations of this program baffle me! Does anyone know where I could get some decent add-ins that would allow me to flag messages etc. or is there a different email manager you recommend?

Which OS are you using? WM5 or WM6? In WM6, Pocket Outlook does a lot more...
WM6 . . . but it doesnt seem to have` much added functionality?
I've been looking for how to flag my outlook emails and it says it's now supported in WM6 and I've even found sites with screenshots showing a 'Follow-up' option that when you select a email appears in the menu.
However I don't see it in my menu and the best reason I can come up with is that it requires the Exchange Server be running the 2007 version and I think my office is still running 2003.
Can anyone confirm, Exchange 2007 is a requirement to be able to see the Follow-up > Flag options appear in our menu?

Hi. Yes.. I'm using Exchange 2007 and you can flag messages in your inbox for follow up (but you can't set any reminders - only flag the message).
You can also view your e-mail in HTML format.

Since I upgraded to WM6 I am not using it anymore but FLEXMAIL 2007 might be able to help you out? Link: http://www.pocketinformant.com/products_info.php?p_id=mail&dir=wm
Ditto that for FlexMail 2007 - works great for me
I've moved over from the Windows Mobile camp very recently (2 days now!) and thought i'd say hi
I've found plenty of info in the Hero section very helpful to get me going, and so far I'm remarkably impressed, I was expecting a much less robust solution as Android is so young. I've found it slick, fast, easy to use and very reliable - it's taken away all the pains that WM can cause!
To anyone who has yet to take the leap, I'd STRONGLY recommend it, if you're considering Android in place of your WM handset, you won't be disappointed.
Within an hour of having the device, I've updated the rom, connected it to my exchange server and gmail accounts, setup a forward from my sms to my email (for this sms problem that i've heard mention of), looked at the sky on google sky etc. and it's been a great experience so far.
Anyway, I'll see you around in various threads - no actual questions as such...but this felt the correct area!
Does Android itself provide MS Exchange support for corporate emails without any add on third party software?
I am in double minds to switch to Android but am held back only for the excellent MS Office support on Windows Mobile.
Please advice. I need to decide on this in a day.
The Hero supports exchange natively, but the software provided by Touchdown apparently provides a better corporate "experience", in terms of PIN enforcement etc.
For MS Office support, use DocumentsToGo, which is great, though the device is supplied with QuickOffice which can read many MS Office documents.
Both Touchdown and DocumentsToGo are paid apps.
Regards,
Dave
I find the exchange support sufficient with the hero (Hero version of android supports it natively, Android itself doesnt).
I'm running exchange 2007 and connected it with SSL without any issue at all. calendar, contacts, email all work perfectly fine
Hello.
My workplace currently does not support the Android platform, and thus I cannot access the Microsoft Exchange server/Activesync from my phone.
Have any apps been developed that would possibly disguise my phone as an iPhone, or something similar, so I can receive e-mail via mobile? iOS is currently the only mobile platform they support, so that'd most likely be the easiest work-around.
I know someone who works in the data center, and he showed me the script they run every week to check if anything other than iPhones have accessed the server, which they then have the option to boot/wipe memory as needed.
Any suggestions are welcome!
You might try Touchdown. There is a 30 day trial.
@ejsholly: Which Android release are you running?
@Anthodk: Touchdown worked as a charm with 2.3.3 on my Desire. Native ICS Exchange works fine here.
The main thing with Touchdown, is that you can choose exchange server 2003/2007 as protocol, instead of active sync, if this for some reason (IT management decision) had been disabled.
Does anyone know of any Windows compatible software that allows for Exchange 2003 email to be pushed to an Android Device?
I used to use SEVEN networks' Desktop Connector to achieve this. However, the beta ended. So I am trying to find anything [free or paid] that allows me to access my work email from my personal phone without the Exchange Administrator knowing/intervening.
Note: My company doesnt allow for OWA or ActiveSync. So these two are not options.
I'm using rom as in my signature.
gmail & hotmail accounts setup as pop3 have suddenly stopped working, I get error message like below .
messages cannot be downloaded to your mobile device
make sure settings & connection correct & try again
Settings are all correct & we got same fault on more than one HD2 and same via wifi or 3G .
Assuming certificate issue or protocol change the WM6.5.5 inbuilt mail app can't handle .
Had a cert expired warning message for some time but could click accept to carry on ignoring cert issue !
What email situation others having on WM6.5.5 roms ?
Will look into certs & updating but any info from others would be good ...
Well after some research & testing it is ssl protocol change.
mail works fine on a no ssl test setup, after some searching & replies in other threads issue is crypt.dll in wm6.5 only supporting sha1 and now sha2 in use .
newer crypt sha2 is available but looks to need implementation during rom building rather than easily copying/patching it in a device running rom. :-/
Unable add crypt files to roms that protected, unprotected roms would probably work with simple copying of crypt files to running rom but as most are protected (inc NRG) then it will not work.
Also unable dump from protected nbh so will need start from scratch.
If NRG had supplied a kitchen sometime after he retired from WM development it would of been a 15minute job to add the newer crypt package ...
2 easy email solutions is third party apps, profimail & nPOPuk, both work but built in outlook was/is a neat mail client.
amazingly the nPOPuk open ssl works as had better protocol standard .
apps added below if needed (all freeware). npop not nicest to use but is light & runs sd card with no installer .
Other solution is using rebuilt roms with crypt.dll already fixed. Poyensa has done this & some can be found in WM6.5 Rom area .
Try Re-routing Emails Through Local Email Service
Firstly, thank you for continuing to provide support for the magnificent HD2 - I'm on my 5th and will continue until it proves impossible - I'm currently using the Australian Telstra model T9193 but have also had a U.S. T-Mobile model and the original T8585 model.
Secondly, I had the same problem with emails for the last 12-24 months as GMail, Microsoft, Yahoo and others progressively increased their POP3 email security to TLS exclusively, however there are still many email services that continue to use SSL only, for example, iiNet and Telstra, both in Australia. All I do is make use of the free option provided by all the major email services, to forward all my emails onto another email service, from where they can come directly to my HD2 and via which I can still send out emails. For example, I configured my POP3 Microsoft Outlook email account (and others) to forward all arriving emails onto my POP3 iiNet email account, which in turn forwards all emails that arrive there onto my HD2 WM6.5 Pocket Email manager App. It all works seamlessly, just as it always did when all the services arrived separately.
The only confusion that may arise is if your correspondents realise that you give one email address which they can use to contact you but all your responses come from another email address. Frankly, no one I communicate with is savvy enough to even notice.
Cheers, and thanks again.
^ That is a good point .
I do the same for my mums phone as she has a tiscali email with ability use old ssl or none.
Problem is I have no services offering suitable email or see any available. another option could be via web hosting if you got one and have some email setting control .
Is a pain, shame the dll not easily overwritten in device rom as easy tidy fix for everyone .
Thank you for researching this. I had to pull my Tilt2 out of retirement when my M8 tanked on a WM10 build. Was able to revive it, but now that I've got the Tilt out, I plan to at least catch it up on things...

Dude, this crypt dll is a part of XIP - that means - no way to copy anything to ready rom. Besides - yesterday I just for fun cooked 29366 rom for Leo TMOUS - even with new crypt dll in xip outlook sync does not work. So - just forget it. Gmail seems to work.
