Is there Firewall app for Windows Mobile, so if another app wants to use your data connection then it prompts you to Allow or Deny it? e.g. OK for weather updates and email, but not other apps if you don't want them to.
I've done a search in these forums but nothing is coming up as related.

I'm on stock 2.2 without any Root. I can't connect either to android market or to any google apps like gmail, gtalk etc. There isn't any issue with my data plan as i can browse the net and using twitter and Facebook flawlessly. As i am newbie in this android bandwagon i don't know if it is required to have any specific configuration for google apps and market?
Gmail
I think you have to register your GMail account first to use the GTalk & Market app.
ya i tried to register in the market app via handset.. popup shows it requires to have around 5 minute to connect to google server..then error message showing that cannot connect to server..It may be an issue with my operator? but then i can browse the net and use FB and twitter.
" can't establish a reliable data connection to the server" this is the error message poping up while i tried gmail,gtalk,and market app.
Wi-Fi
If you get the chance, try using Wi-Fi first just to register your GMail account.
My issue is solved...this is what i did:
Settings-accounts & sync then ticked the auto sync option..
Now every thing working perfectly...
Hello everyone, I am trying to find an e-mail client I can use with Google app specific password thing. I ave profi-mail on my windows phone right now, but it wont load up gmail because it needs an app specific password. Well i haven o idea where to put the app specific password into the program. I may be missing something totally here.
all this is coming about form an error i get on opera mobile that it wont allow me to pull up gmail anymore it gives an invalid address error. G mail still works in the regular IE mobile but its a pain in the butt.
Thanks for any help
Disregard, I am supposed to enter the app specific password in place of my normal password.
Still open to any freeware clients. I want to make sure it doesn't automatically connect unless I tell it to thought because i dont have a data plan therefore I only want ot access the inbox when im connected to wifi or via USB internet.
One other thing about connecting Via USB. If I am using one of these pop3 servers (or via the browser) can the admin of the network im on (IT) see my e-mails ?
I am on prepaid data plan so I use DroidWall or Android Firewall (iptables based) to only let several apps through to use mobile data, like GMail, messaging apps, email, etc. while everything else is wi-fi only.
Blinkfeed is growing on me and I'd like to let it through the firewall, but I couldn't figure out what it is called in the list. Anybody knows?
Hi Community,
Everytime i install a firewall i set it first to whitelist mode.
So absolutly no app is able to connect to the internet, excepting google search?
If i open an internet browser (no matter which one) and want to open for example Xda-developers.com it doesnt work. As it should, because the firewall is blocking the browser. So far so good.
Now the problem is that no matter what brower i use google.com can always be opened. And i can search with google as there would be no rule. I can search for pictures, videos etc, but if i click e.g. a picture i cant open them. Because here the firewall is blocking the browser again.
I disabled, freezed the app -Google Search- but that doesnt work. No matter what i try, google seem to be above all.
So how the hell does google gets his rights from to -ignore- those firewall rules and get internet access through every other third party app?
I am currently using K9 email which seems to be the least bad app for POP3
This has a global config for server deletion (POP).
It is useful, when travelling, to got rid of unwanted emails there and then. Is there an email app which, when you delete an email, it prompts if you want to delete from the server also?
I have had apps previously which did that, on Symbian and Windows, but don't know of any for Android or IOS.
Another solution is an app which downloads headers only; these exist for Windows and usually have a server delete option. Such an app is handy anyway, in case somebody has sent you a 20MB email while you are roaming But I have never found one for Android. It must be dead easy to write...
Or of course one could install a second email app which is configured for server deletion and just run that for this purpose, but that's stupid.
Another solution for cleaning up the mailbox is to use webmail...
I don't think anybody reads this forum but in case somebody finds this on google, I can confirm Maildroid does exactly that I wanted.
