I have a question..im using outlook on the PPC PE for my POP3 mail account. I can dl and receive messages fine, but the problem lies when im trying to send messages to domains OTHER than my POP3 domain. Example, i cannot send mail to hotmail or yahoo accounts at all. I get an "Invalid Message Recipient" error. Anyone familiar with this problem or could offer some advice? THanks in advance
Your ISP does not allow submissions from the Internet. If you change the smtp server to the one provided by your GPRS service provider then you should be able to send.
where to change ?? please can u tell me step by step how to
where to change ?? please can u tell me step by step how to do it
It sounds like that when you set up the new pop account in the inbox you ticked the verify user name with you online provider.
If this is the case the solution is
inbox tools options address (then deselect that service provider or add all the new one you wish to check.
Hope this helps
Many of the public email hosters block email if none of their domains are in the "To", "Cc" or "From" fields.
So probably you just need to enter "correct" e-mail address in POP3 service settings. E.g. if your e-mail is located on www.mail.ru - you need to enter [email protected] as your own address - and no mail will be blocked by smtp.mail.ru. Just thy to check "howto's" on your mail hoster website.
HOWTO: Sending mail through GPRS
In fact: they usually check whether one of their users is a recipient for the mail . For this they use the 'Envelope-to', which is what the remote mail server supplies in the SMTP protocol using 'RCPT TO:', and not a line from the mail (otherwise BCC would not work).
If not, they check whether the sending machine is on their network. They usually do this by IP-number, so putting the right mail address in the from line would not help.
So: you need to use the SMTP server supplied by your GPRS provider when sending mail, and not the SMTP server of your ISP.
this is a good thread.
After all, how can you set different usernames/passwords for both services for different ISP's
e.g POP (incoming) from PIPEX
SMTP outgoing using o2.co.uk
Without using two "services" set up on the xda. After all how much of a pain it would be to switch between them, remembering to click the white box on the pop service when you've sent from the other service... argghh.
Am I the only person that hates the way this is setup. Anyone tried a third party POP/SMTP program other than the Microsoft Pocket Outlook Inbox?

The Official Twitter Text Commands

The Official Twitter Commands
Did you know: you can perform certain actions, like following or marking a friend's update as a favorite, by using the designated Twitter commands? Use the commands listed below from your phone, the web update box, or your favorite third party application.
Please note : When using these commands make sure that you do not append an @ along with it.
For example, if you want to turn on device notifications send only ON and not @ON.
Similarly, if you want to stop getting updates from Twitter send STOP and not @STOP.
If you send these commands with an @, it will be considered as an username and will not be executed as expected!
Read on to know more Twitter commands..
Turning Twitter off and on: device notifications
*
ON: turns ALL phone notifications on.
* OFF, STOP, QUIT, End, Cancel, Arret or Unsubscribe: turns ALL phone notifications off.
* ON username: turns on notifications for a specific person on your phone. For example, ON alissa.
* OFF username: turns off notifications for a specific person on your phone. For example, OFF blaine.
* FOLLOW username: this command allows you to start following a specific user, as well as receive SMS notifications. Example: follow jermy
* LEAVE username: this command allows you to stop following a specific user, as well as stop receiving SMS notifications. Example: leave benfu
Fun Stuff: friends, favorites, and stats!
There's more to Twitter than OFF and ON! Use the commands below to send private messages, mark updates as favorites, or even remind someone to update their Twitter page if you're wondering what they're doing!
* @username + message
directs a twitter at another person, and causes your twitter to save in their "replies" tab.
Example: @meangrape I love that song too!
* RT username
Retweet's a users latest Tweet
* D username + message
sends a person a private message that goes to their device, and saves in their web archive.
Example: d krissy want to pick a Jamba Juice for me while you're there?
* FAV username
marks a person's last twitter as a favorite and causes the message to show up in your "Favorites" tab.
* SET LOCATION placename
updates the location field in your profile
Example: set location san francisco
* WHOIS username
retrieves the profile information for any public user on Twitter.
Example: whois jack
* GET username
retrieves the latest Twitter update posted by the person.
Example: get goldman
* FAV username
marks a person's last twitter as a favorite. (hint: reply to any update with FAV to mark it as a favorite if you're receiving it in real time)
Example: fav al3x
* STATS
this command returns your number of followers, how many people you're following, and your bio information.
* INVITE phone number
will send an SMS invite to a friend's mobile phone.
Example: Invite 415 555 1212
Noteworthy Facts
* using on/off username from your phone only stops notifications to the place the command comes from; you'll still collect a person's updates on the web.
* using follow/leave username from your phone is the same as using on/off username.
* following someone from a phone for the first time will also cause you to follow them on the web.
* there is no way to stop following a person on the web without visiting their profile and removing them. The off, leave, stop, and quit commands will only disable updates for the device(s) from which they were sent.
* you don't have to use on/off username from the phone, you can also set individual notifcations from a person's profile page, or check your following page and manage all phone notification settings there.

Google SMS
Google has a beta SMS service which answers queries sent from your mobile phone or device. Simple conventions are used to express queries for phone book listings, dictionary definitions, product prices, etc. Google touts their service as
“Just text. No links. No web pages. Simply the answers you’re looking to find.”
Examples of queries are “pizza 21228″ to find pizza places near UMBC or “george bush, washington dc” to find the address and phone number of the US president and “Price ipod 20gb” to get a prices (and sellers) for an ipod. The SMS messages are sent to the 5-digit US shortcode 46645 which corresponds to GOOGL on most phones. My mobile phone has a good browser, but I think I’d prefer to use this SMS service for the supported common query types for several reasons. The interaction model is simpler and a better fit when I’m away from my desk. I can fire off a query without bringing up a page and navigating to the query form. I don’t have to and am not tempted to sit and wait for the result page to come up, but can do somethihg else with my phone. Finally, the results come back in a very compact form — more suited for a small screen.

STOP When used on its own, the STOP command deletes all schedules, which will stop any further SMS messages being sent, until a START command is used to set up a new schedule. LSE STOP
