Is anyone successfully using Windows Live on their Verizon TP to access their Hotmail account?
I've got the thing set up OK but if I leave the Sync Schedule at "As Items Arrive" my TP will miss e-mails, despite Microsoft's claim to the contrary (note: I don't even have Windows messenger installed so this is not THAT problem). However, when an e-mail DOES come in I get an audible notification.
So I set WL to pull every 15 minutes which works almost always but then the TP NEVER rings when a new e-mail comes in: the D-PAD does flash (laboriously slow, but it flashes), but no audible warning.
Does anyone have WL set up on their TP to pull periodically and also get audible notifications?
Thanks for any info.
I cant even get Windows live to install. I used the fixed cab and whenever I try to even clock on it, it starts to load and then locks up. I tried with TF3D off, I removed the windows live stuff off the home screen.
I've tried everything...

Well, that doesn't surprise me.
In fact, you might consider yourself lucky.
It's apparent that WL, like the Windows OS, is inscrutable to even Microsoft and has bugs that may never be corrected. As I say, if you DID manage to get it installed you'd have to contend with unreliable push or unusable pull e-mail. You might even run into my latest issue: random lockups a couple of times a day requiring a soft reset.
Better, IMO, to leave well enough alone.
Well I got it work flawlessly on my verizon htc apacherunning wm 6.1 and tf3d. Im very frustrated right now with the touch pro. it seems verizon has made it impossible to get your msn mail except by using the app you have to download. Even when i use opera, i can navigate to hotmail,the main inbox screen will load, but when i click on an email it just sits there. I can put checkmarks on messages but when i select mark as junk or move to folder it also hangs. I did a hard reset and installed the new opera with flash support from xda here and it does the exact same. I tried setting up a new account in outlook on the phone and when i click fin8shed it says it found the settings for msn and then it does nothin does not save the account at all.
Im just so frustrated. Is there a way to make the email screen in touch flo to activate the downloadable verizon mail program instead of trying to open up outlook that I cant get to work?
Well, far be it from me to defend WL but something is weird if you can't get it loaded after a hard reset. Even I can do that (did it directly through PIE).
Opera is evil. Try not to use Opera. Why don't you use PIE and go to http://mobile.live.com/pocketpc/. This should allow you to access your hotmail through PIE.
From my understanding WM 6.1/Outlook on the TP handles all Hotmail through Windows Live (unless you want to go through the browser). I tried and, if you ask Outlook to detect settings when trying to set Hotmail up as a POP/IMAP account, it will launch Opera.
If you've tried downloading WL through PIE and can't get it to install, then I don't know what to say. If you CAN get it to install but it hangs when you attempt to link it to your Hotmail account I would suggest, just for giggles, creating a brand new Hotmail account. I have a very old one and WL didn't like it at all. You might also try creating the new account if the WL link I gave you above doesn't work. I've heard say that older Hotmail accounts don't play well with WL (as if anything does).
Good Luck.
It works flawlessly on my VZ Touch Pro for whatever reason. I changed the sync settings to manual though due to the horrendous battery drain.

I am really puzzled by this one. I have been using the Cooked Official Hermes Mobile 6 for Cingular / ATT rom for a few months now with no problem. Just last night I lost my Outlook Inbox in my list of mailboxes. After looking a little deeper it appears that I cannot use direct push anymore. I have tried clearing memory and reloading the ROM onto the phone.
The very first time the phone comes up after running the AT&T cab packages, I set up the server sync options. While it is doing its initial sync I can quickly go into the Schedule setting ans it is set for As Items Arrive.
Here is the problem...
As soon as it finishes the first sync, grabs contacts, mail, calendar, and tasks. I go back into Schedule and it is defaulted to Manual, and the option for as items arrive is no longer there. If I go into comm manager there is an x through the Direct Push icon, I can enable it, close comm manager, attempt to sync again, go back to comm manager and it has an x through it again????
This one is killing me here. I know the server is set right as we have 10 total phones at my company that are all setup for direct push, they are working correctly, just not mine. Granted my phone is the only one running mobile 6. But it has worked flawlessly for months, even before the "official" rom. I have tried Schaps latest version but the problem seemed the same. Is there a problem with the phone outside of the rom image?? Something that needs to be reset? Please, I need some help with this! I don't want to switch back to my 3125, noooooooooooooooooo!!
Thanks in advance for your help!
Edit...
Still don't have it working but... Couple of things, Calendar, Tasks, and Contacts are working just fine. Subfolders in my Exchange mailbox are working ok. But i am still unable to select "As Items Arrive" or keep the Microsoft Direct Push button in Comm manager enabled. Again any thoughts would be very helpful. I am a network admin with direct control over my exchange server. Tonight I am going to fire up my 3125 and pop in my sim and I would imagine that things should work just fine. The part that boggles me is even with a fresh rom flash or with multiple roms the problem still exists?? I don't know if any of you out there are Exchange Admins too, but could it be something on the server side of things? Thanks again everyone for taking the time to read this!
direct push
a good test to eliminate phone vs. exchange would be in your web browser goto IP address of server + forward slash OMA (Outlook Mobile Access) i.e. www.domain.com/oma
this should open a login prompt, put your active directory credentials in there and click ok. If this works then your server is good...
An excellent troubleshooting step! Unfortunately I have tried that, and it did work correctly! I have reverted to my 3125 for the moment. All works well with that phone. 8-( Sooo, my exchange account is fine, my sim / AT&T account is working properly. I guess somehow the phone was corrupted?? Is it maybe worth reverting back to WM 5.0, and then bringing it back up to 6.0? Thanks for taking the time to help!!
I recently update my 3125 to WM6 and it is working great. But I do have one issue that was previously working when I was using my old ROM. I have my email synced with my company's Exchange server. I am able to get email contacts, etc. But I used to be able to delete an email on my 3125 and then it would also delete it on the exchange server (removing it from Outlook). This is the way I prefer it. Is there a setting that I am missing? or is this a bug with this new ROM (I used the CLEAN version by the way). Any help would be appreciated.

Deleted items won't get deleted immediately. It does take some time, because deleting items isn't as urgent as receiving. That worked the same way in Mobile 5.
HTH
Thank you, I may have not been waiting long enough, I see if I do a Send/Receive it works immediately. What setting would I change to do it faster?
you can see if there is a setting like in the professional version of Windwos Mobile concernig the Emptying of deleted items, the options are imediately, on next send & receive and another one is manually....
BUT I am not sure it is present on the Windows Mobile Standard, (sorry I am too lazy to go downstairs and get my startrek power it on and check...so you have to look for it yourself
No, I don't see that setting, that's fine though, I'll just let it take it's time I guess.

I don't know and don't care. Because if I delete an item on my mobile, than I'm away from outlook. And than I don't care if the item flushes down right now or later. As long as it is gone all is fine.
Bye
It saves battery and data not to "push" the "read" or "deleted" updates immediately.
As you say, you can send/receive to force it - but it will also be updated next time it syncs anyway ie when you get another email.
I've played around with this a lot since picking up my Hero last week, and have done loads of forum searching/googling too - but I still have issues.
FTR, I run Outlook 2007 (usually locally because I work remotely from the office) off Exchange.
1) Exchange/Outlook tasks do not sync to the Hero as standard? Is there a way this can be done? I've trialled Touchdown but don't like it.
2) Exchange/Outlook folders are a complete mess when displayed in the normal HTC mail app. I have something like 25 main folders, with each having 2-10 subfolders. But instead of appearing in the correct order, they seem to display randomly, which makes it an absolute pain to find anything. Is there a fix to this?
3) When sending Exchange emails from my Hero, they don't appear in the sent items in Outlook. But strangely they do appear in my Webmail version. Weird? Possible sync problem?
4) When sending gmail emails from my Hero, they too don't appear in th web version.
5) Have started using gcalendar recently. Still can't get tasks to appear on the phone, so have decided to use events to track things. However, when adding events via the web, they appear in the Hero's calendar, but when adding with Hero, they don't appear in the web version. Also, when deleting events on Hero, they don't delete from the web. Common issue? Fixable?
6) When I add an Exchange event on my Hero, that too doesn't appear in Exchange/outlook.
7) Coming from WM6, I was able to set peak/off peak sync times for Exchange. Is this possible with the Hero? Is it a case of "finishing" work and changing the sync settings to "never" or something like that? And then re-enabling in the morning? Not ideal if that's the case. Or I guess you could changes scenes to "social" and have no obvious instance of work-related stuff available? I'm trying this now because I'm on annual leave at last.
If you get this far then thanks for reading I'm mightily impressed overall with the whole Hero experience, and have spents probably a couple of man-days setting it up and configuring stuff, but it's just these little bugbears that are making it frustrating to get everything working properly.
Cheers

Started having this problem today w HTC Titan. Google email acct keeps asking for the password. To verify it's correct I logged into it on PC but it won't sync on phone. I deleted and recreated the acct but no luck. Anyone else experience this?

Not sure about Google, buy my Live/Hotmail account did this on my phone, but it corrected itself after about a day. Hasn't acted up since. My friend's LG Quantum did it too, but also cleared up after a day.
I would just wait and see if it comes back up. For whatever reason, the email will flake out on these phones and then come back up. Fortunately, it doesn't happen often.
This happened to me in Winmo 6.5.x, wait a day and try again.
This is definitely an issue with gmail. I have seen reports of this happening with people connecting to gmail on Android using the Exchange client as well as people using Outlook and lots of other programs.
Some people report that disabling SSL on your gmail account fixes it. Others say a more complex password fixes it. I havent found either useful.
You can always go to this webpage: https://accounts.google.com/b/0/DisplayUnlockCaptcha and enter your details. It always makes things work immediately for me.
Thanks. I turned off and on and so far so good.

I'm currently running CM10-20121210-Nightly-d2spr.
I was trying it to see if I can get the camera to work and of course it still doesn't focus so I've pretty much given up on the camera ever working again. I guess I can live with that but the one thing I cannot live without on my phone is the gmail not working.
I can receive emails just fine but it will not send emails. It says "sending" when I press send and acts like it's working but it never leaves the phone.
Also, now when I delete an email in my gmail account it is not deleting on my desktop. So I guess I have two problems, the "SEND" feature is not working and it's no longer syncing with my desktop.
Any help, suggestions?
Sorry - found the solutuion after posting
But if anyone else is having the same problem..
Go into settings, applications, manage applications, Gmail, then click on clear data. You may also try rebooting after that.
