Subject: Checking Email
From: Bobby Gallagher

Hi
I want to be able to check my email very 30min. At the moment I
do this by leaving a GPRS connection open and this allows the
Pocket Outlook application to send / reveive emails every 30min
This also drains the battery very quickly - I only get 5 or
6hours without having to recharge.
If I leave the GPRS connection closed then my battery life is
OK.
Is there anything like a scheduler that can start up Outlook and
open a GPRS connection to check my emails every 30min
Regards
Bobby

Subject: Email wont send, any ideas??
From: Si
Date: 31 Dec, 2002 03:44:15
I have entered the correct email account details and my xda
picks up my mails fine, but no matter what account i use to send
mails out they always fail, reason "no such recipient" or
something like that. The addresses I am sending too are 100%
real and working.....why wont my xda send these emails.
Any help appreciated!

I know it sounds simple, but have you been able to send mail in
the past?
If not, check the authentication settings in email setup,
"options". You may have to switch this on, even if your mail
provider doesn't normally require it. I had this for a POP
account that does not normally have authentication switched on
in Outlook Express, but switched it on on the xda and it sent
mail fine.

I have an XDA and no matter what accounts I use to send emails
it keeps saying invalid recipient even though I am 100% the
email addresses are good......any ideas?

Looks like your provider doesn't allow an external address
(which your phone is once it comes in via GPRS) to mail to
addresses external to your provider. This is done to stop spam.
Either get the address for an SMTP (outgoing) mail server at
your GPRS provider, or authenticate to your provider's mail
server, if they allow for that.

Ah, that explains why I had to switch on authentication on my
xda - it would be okay dialling from my PC where I am connecting
direct to the ISP, but obviously through O2 GPRS it thinks it is
coming in from outside.
Cunning.
Happy New Year,

I tried the Authentication option, and if thats on it refuses to
recieve emails aswell as not sending them. I think as suggested
that the mail servers (ntlworld and totalise) dont allow me to
send unless connected through them.
Does anyone know where i can get a mail account that i could use
to send outgoing mail without having to be connected through
there ISP?
Cheers for all the ideas.

For a free mail account that you can use for POP downloading,
try

The XDA is like most POP3 email clients like Outlook in that if
you do not have an email account with the ISP you are using to
connect (either dialup or GPRS operator) you have to change your
SMTP server to that of your email address e.g. if you are on
GPRS with O2 in Ireland but have an Eircom.net account your
email setup would be:
Incoming: pop3.o2.ie
Outgoing: mail1.eircom.net

You don't say what network you are on.
As others have said, most SMTP servers won't allow access from
another ISP or require authentication.
For O2 UK, users should specify smtp.o2.co.uk for outgoing SMTP
email.

Sorry a bit off topic but tabbycat, you seem to have an O2 smtp
connection. Do you have a special O2 account? I wasn't offered
anything when I signed up for mine, but I'm wondering if it's
just because they're crap or I've missed the point! I currently
just use my O2 GPRS cxn to connect to softhome POP mail.
Can you tell me what path you followed to get O2 access?
cheers,
Alex.

Hi Alex,
No, you don't need to set up an O2 account.
As long as you connect the mobile.o2.co.uk APN (which you are
doing by the sound of it) then you can use the smtp.o2.co.uk
server.
I'm sorry to hear that the information is poor. As I work in O2
I'll see that this is noted.
Incidentally, if you use the O2 Mobile Web software (not
recommended for xda unfortunately) then the smtp settings are
configured automatically.

My fix:: I had E-mail faults, even when I had contacted o2 to
fix the problem. They said to to a hard reset!!!. I found that
deleting the account and reinstalling the account settings from
scratch worked!!!
I think there is an easy solution to be found at freenet.de. You'll find a step by step instruction how to configure the MDA/XDA for emails in and out. In case that you can't find it ( and it's hard to find) I could provide you with two pdf-files which describe the settings.

PocketPCs generally not being able to use the majority of SMTP servers is a known issue - PPC tends to make them fall over so most ISPs block mails being sent from PPCs.
smtp.o2.co.uk (for example) is an open relay provided as a work-around to this issue.
Hi,
Can anyone tell me if MSN Messenger generates any GPRS traffic if it's just sitting there, logged in?
My provider charges per Kb, and whilst I don't mind paying for the messages that I send and receive I don't really want MSN Messenger to stay connected if it's going to keep sending "keep-alive" packets all the time.
Anyone know?
Thanks,
Paul...
Practically nothing. I have left MS Messenger logged on all night, and it was less than 10 KB in idle traffic, I believe. Use GPRS monitor to watch the use
Regards
Michael
Any IM application will keep sending/receiving short system messages to tell the host server that it's still logged on and to get the latest update of the contact list status. The traffic amount depends on the frequency of these messages, but it's slim to none in most of cases.
how can i make the mail program on my xda check for e-mails once a day, since in the settings i can choose maximum intervals of 60 minutes between each time it cheks for e-mail.
Might be easier to turn off the auto check feature and download manually once a day, you could set your pda to prompt you to do this.
I am able to connect to the internet just fine but when i go to email and click send/receive my connection disconnects then reconnects but email is never checked, on the lower left side of the screen it says "error synchronizing" i have Cingular(AT&T) just wondering if anyone else is having this problem. thanks.

Who is your email provider? any of these: yahoo.com, yahoo.co.uk, or Hotmail. i have the same problem as well.
Yahoo and new hotmail accounts need to be paid for to sync via outlook, those of us who have been syncyng Hotmail for a while (was it oct 2006 or 2005 they stopped - I have a memory like a seive) can still sync.
When you set up the email account how did you do it, who is it with and did you test the settings?
But you could still forward all your Hotmail mails to another free mail provider
(to which you can freely sync to Outlook).
i have the same issue. set up with an IMAP server. it doesnt even try over 3G and works while connected to a pc and uses its connection. suggestions? is this answered elsewhere?
[Edit]: Found on another thread (thanks to Pawel062) to uncheck the proxy info on the Media Net, this resolved the issue for me.
I just loaded the PK Black Dual ROM and I love it for the most part, but there are two issues that are really driving me crazy. When I open just about any e-mail message in Outlook, it takes an unreasonably long time before I can read the message-- it shows "loading message" at the bottom of the screen, and during this time the phone is more or less locked up. It never did this before. I have two e-mail accounts set up, one an ActiveSync connection to an Exchange server and the other an IMAP connection to Gmail. It does this on both accounts. It does this for each message. I don't have a lot of messages in my Inbox for either account-- only about 15 in the Exchange account and 30 in the Gmail one.
The other issue I have is with the browsers, Opera and IE both. It takes a long time before I can actually use them. After they start, they just sit there for up to a minute before they start downloading pages. After that initial delay, they work fine, until the next time I open them.
Does anybody have any ideas? It's driving me nuts. I'm on AT&T's network in the SF Bay Area.
Thanks

Sounds to me like you need to reinstall - I have many emails in my Outlook and it reacts instantly - as do Opera and IE - the only delay is when I change from 3G to HSDPA and that is a 5-10 second delay
The 3G thing may be the key-- I was in a GPRS area last night and suddenly it got very responsive. When I went back into a 3G area it slowed down again. It seems like it is taking a very long time to switch, but I don't understand why Outlook would slow down as well, since the messages are stored locally after being downloaded from the server.
