hey guys from prophet forum!
had started this service out to TYTN users and figured i should spread the news around to some of the other boards. if you guys are looking for push email, please get in touch here's what i posted in the tytn forum:
I'm now offering exchange mailboxes to users (subscription based service). right now i see two, one by austindkelly in the wizard forum (he's disappeared for over a month and looks like he doens't offer his service any more) and one by denial in the kaiser section ($5/month). I thought I'd offer up a similar service starting with the hermes group (cheaper of course) with a few extra tidbits of joy...
- supports iphone exchange services, saves a heck of money over apple's mobileme service!
- outlook web access (with the advanced interface)
- 1gb quota
- both SSL as well as standard port options
- *IMAP access* - you don't even need outlook, syncs flawlessly with your phone.
- *MAPI* outlook access - hook up your outlook on your PC to sync with my service which in turn syncs with your phone. no plugging in ever needed!
- alias included (get your own email)
- changing your password through outlook web access (one-way non-reversible encryption).
I figured it's a bit of an overkill having my own exchange server that's serving a single account (i.e. mine). so why not open it up!
Price is $10 for 3 months, $19 for 6 months.
Please PM me if you're interested... I'll probably set up your account within 12 hours (probably less).
And yes, will give you unused credit money back etc etc if you're unsatisfied for whatever reason. I'm really not in this for the money, it's more to utilize something I spent hours building up, plus to cover the costs of my internet / server hardware.
And, as usual, if you need any files hosted for xda-developers just let me know, i'm already hosting over 40 ROM images and serving 5-6gb/day in ROMs from the wiki!
cheers!
free accounts:
will provide 10 rotating free accounts at any given time for test purposes, will base it off of usage. so if you use the free account, i'll keep it up indefinitely, if not then account will be removed after 14 days and given to the next person in line.
Free accounts have 50mb storage, and have no alias, and no MAPI access...
Depending on utilization I may increase this 10 free account limit.
two account requests from a couple of hours ago have been set up - please check your PMs
few people are asking about synching from multiple sources...
from my understanding i can only give you one alias for your accounts, which means you can't select your "from." however you're free to forward as many accounts as you wish to the account i create for you, but you can only send from one "alias."
another multi-synching thing people are asking is whether you can sync calendar with your desktop and email with my service. sure!! its best that way in fact - that's what i do. i have my outlook on my desktop which has my calendar, contacts, and only sync my email via push on exchange to my server... you can even take this a step further and set up IMAP access so what you see in your email client is the same as what you'll see in your pocket outlook... if you delete from your desktop, whoosh it disappears from your PDA too
this is stupid,why you people just sign up in gmail.com and start using all of the above,even better for free???

JAJAJAJAJAJA!!
MAPI (i.e. desktop outlook) access is now enabled
still plenty of resources to use up so drop me a line if interested!
Hi chameleon. I have sent you a PM - I am keen to give this a try. I have read through the thread in Hermes section. Glad you have MAPI sorted now.
Clearly Zeroed doesn't understand the power of Exchange Server!
I read that you are using Exchange Server 2003. Do I presume you have it patched with SP2?
Thanks for providing this service. I will comment here how it works out for me as a Prophet user.

hey richard!
account set up check your PM. yep, using ES2003 with SP2.
quick note: MAPI will be a subscriber-only feature, but i'd be glad to enable it for the test users (PM me) for testing purposes.
cheers!
going to take the server down for about 15-20 minutes this afternoon for a quick reboot and offline backup. planning for 3:00pm GMT. please be patient, hopefully it should be done much much faster!
Hi friend,
Any chance you would be upgradin ExServer 2007 in the near future?Would like to try that out...
hi there,
won't be upgrading to exserver 2007 unfortunately; my hardware doesn't support it
quick question - has anyone here managed to get this to work with outlook '07? if i recall someone had, but someone pointed out that they get an error message saying that this version of outlook has been blocked by the administrator, which just isn't true
updates: outlook '07 started working - user discovered you just need to enable cached exchange mode.
i also have a couple of trial accounts left for those i turned down last week if you're still interested, shoot me a PM
Quick update regarding update in the server!
I know I've had some VERY avoidable downtimes this past few months. Because this is running on a laptop it has been unplugged from the power / ethernet while its been moved.
however good news! I've just purchased a replacement - a nice server
Specs - dual core AMD 5600+ with 2 gb RAM, 820gb storage (for those attachments ).
i'll do the switchover soon as i get the machine, should hopefully take 10-15 minutes as i just need to image the drive across.
once i get the machine i'll push up the trial accounts to 15 or 20 so if you're interested i'll post here when the migration is done and you can drop me a note
cheers!
been getting a few PMs recently about whether i still offer this (maybe its the iphone crowd finding a cheaper alternative to apple's crazy crap service!).
yes i do and i think users can attest to the fact that since the upgrade to the new server been up and running at 100% since june!
drop me a PM if any of you need service. and yes, it is compatible with the iphone - i use it on my iphone too.
quick note - yes there was a 3 hour outage between 5am and 8ish am on saturday; sorry about that. seems my ISP went down, given how short the outage was and how this was the first one in god knows how long i didn't bother spending 1/2 an hour on the phone with them figuring out what the issue was will chase it up if it happens again though!
can someone who has successfully set up outlook 07 with my service PM me with the settings they've used? i need to get some instructions on my site on how to do it, and i don't use exchange 07 myself...
thanks!
UPDATE Now offering Exchange 2010 accounts - fully compatible with latest outlook, html email etc!
Information and registration at https://exchange.etbox.info
so after reading a few posts about people emailing htc about the flashlight app, the clear ui at the bottom and the pano cam. for the hell of it, I emailed them and this is what I got back, if you find it useful cool, if not ignore it
Dear ...,
The Flashlight application and batterty widget were removed in a software update. We are currently looking into getting it back.
While the Panaromic Camera and Transparent Rosie were shown at CTIA or other sources, we have not developed those applications for production models at this time. Whether or not they will eventually be included has not yet been decided.
While we are planning to unlock the bootloader for the phone, we have no ETA on when the update that does that will be released.
We appreciate your continued patience in these matters.

So.
I can only hope that posting this here doesn't somehow ruin it down the road, but everyone here has a Gmail account corresponding with their devices, and most likely WebStorage (if you use it) as well, so I've been thinking for a while that this "exploit" may be possible: AND IT IS!
Is everyone familiar with a feature of Gmail and Google's infinite wisdom that allows you to make any number of "fake" accounts that tie in to your actual, single account? Of course most use it to register for and subsequently filter out Spam.
However, it's Google's servers which account for this ability, and so the (and really most/all) WebStorage app will accept any dotted (and dashed? don't remember what all you can do) form of your Gmail account name as a new account. So although it will be 8GB segments you could have any number of them with organized info distributed per "account."
I believe this could most likely also be done with an OG Transformer to activate* the one year of "unlimited" storage, and you could upload massive amounts of info in a relatively short amount of time across a few "accounts" and have just about any of your stuff up. I don't have an OG so someone will need to check it out.
*EDIT:
Let me also state I only did this to begin with because ASUS or whoever manages WebStorage said they couldn't update my initial account to correspond to my ownership of the Prime. They told me to do this.
Code:
ASUS bundles of ASUS Webstorage could only be activated within new accounts. Therefore, you won't be able to expand your subscription of current existing account, but you're definitely welcome to register a new ASUS WebStorage user ID to retrieve your term of Transformer.
Please follow the steps below to access complementary ASUS WebStorage Service:
1. Logout from current ASUS WebStorage ID.
2. Register a new account from Mycloud
Hi everyone. I have a problem trying to figure out a sort of cloud solution for my small business. I am not sure if there is a service like the one I am looking for. I am after a service that will allow my small business to:
- Allow employees to load pictures to a common cloud services and possibly some data.
- Have the supervisors as administrators and receive alerts any time a customer has a repair need.
- Create folders with date so files can be stored chronologically.
- Allow a feature like (write only) for employees so they can upload the data but can not modify it.
- It needs to be compatible with iOS and Android.
Hope there is something like this available. I will appreciate any input.
Thanks to everyone, best regards, Frank.
