I used to sync my hotmail and msn mails directly with Pocket MSN via ActiveSync, the messenger working too
Now with Live (pre-installed on WM5 AKU 3.5) it stop working (messenger) and i don't know how to re-configure mail accounts
any idea how to configure Hotmail or MSN with new Pocket Live
If any one has "Pocket MSN" installer please send it
best regards
Windows Live
I am using Ivan's AKU 3.5 and this does not come with Windows Live pre-installed. Therefore I downloaded the Windows Live cab-file from the xdev-ftp site and installed it. I just needed it to get access to my Hotmail account. After istallation I logged on to Windows Live and set up to only sync my email (not my contacts) and everything worked smoothly.
Dunno if it is of help, but there is no need to downgrade. I also 'tested' Helmi's UKA 3.5 and Windows Live worked for me (as far as I remember)

I am using the Windows live and I do receive my hotmails without problems. In fact I would say it is better than previous pocket msn.
I have tested to sending myself a mail from other account. I have received the mail on my device ca. 15 -30 sec. after it has arrived on my hotmail inbox. It feels like push mail. Indeed I have started to forward my usual email accounts to hotmail and get it pushed to my device.
Who needs a exchange server :0)
I do exactly the same thing All my e-mail now goes to my hotmail account. Just be carefull that you don't drain the battery when staying connected
I was wondering if anyone has the cab installer for Pocket MSN. The ones before Windows Live? ... I've even asked this in another thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1090483&postcount=334
Is the above cab file the installer?

Strange.
PMSN puts the emails (send & receive) in "Hotmail Inbox/Sent" but Windows Live put the emails (receive? & send) in "Windows Live Inbox/Sent". At least those which I sent via Windows Live goes into "Windows Live Sent", not "Hotmail Sent".

Anyone has Live Messenger or Pocket Live worked via ActiveSync connection??
it doesn't work with me, but Pocket MSN does.
it fails at the final step with "Windows Live is unable to connect. The service may be temporarily unavailable, ..." error, but I have an internet connection (tested by IE)
How well does it work on the hermes compared to having exchange setup? Thinking of switching to it but was wondering the pros/cons, I know a lot use it here so i figured it would be fine to ask in the wm6 section. Also does it sync contacts like exchange does? Thanks
If you are or work for a company that uses Exchange 2003 SP2 or Exchange 2007 then there is zero need for BB. BB is for companies that:
Use older versions of Exchange or other brands of mail servers.
Have lots of users locked in to BB contracts with their providers
Just fear change.
Functionally, they work exactly the same. Practically, I jumped for joy the day I got rid of my Blackberry and went to WM with a push-enabled Exchange server, it handles email/PIM stuff so much better. But if you are still working for or with a company stuck in BB land, but want to use push with the Hermes, then I suppose BBConnect is the holy grail. If not, there is certainly no reason to switch TO BBConnect/BBServer.

Well I need 5 push accounts and with exchange I can only have one, I recently started my own company so I have multiple business addresses that I personally read if not respond to.
Does BBConnect enable support for multiple push accounts? or does it require the consolidation into a single BB Internet account?
I was under the impression (possibly incorrectly) that you could only be tied to one BB Enterprise Server.
Can anyone confirm? I'm in the same situation...

For me, version 2.1.2.31 BES (BB Enterprise Server ) works excellent. Email and Calendar. Address book is corporate and I can do lookups, but contacts I sync only with my home PC. Never used with BIS ( BB Internet Service ).

I think only one BES or BIS. I also have pocket outlook pulling my personal mail with POP from Yahoo and Gmail every 10 mins.
BIS vs. BES
hi guys. i'm no expert but I am using the blackberry internet service which supports gmail, yahoo, imap, and pop mail servers. I think there are 2 flavors of bbconnect, the enterprise version and the internet service. I work for a small business so i'm out a lot selling but keep in touch with the office mail using blackberry and the business imap server. been using it for over a year and so far so good. not sure if you can run bis and bes over the same bbconnect client though.

There are some big security implications for using Exchange push email vs BB.. so its not quite as simple as people fearing change if they already have BB established.
@custel,
I am fortunate to have BB, Good, and Exchange and I must tell you now with a Pocket PC (PPC) there is nothing like Exchange 2007. BBConnect is limited on the features you can have with PPC, however it is great if you have a BlackBerry device. Good Technology takes over you PPC and it is very heavy on the resource side. However, you are looking for a single interface for various devices and don't care about any thing else on the device, then Good is excellent. With Exchange 2007, well you already have all of the tools you will need and there is no need for any additional client on the PPC. Overall if you are only concern with the e-mail part and nothing else, then they will all do the job and you ust have to pick one. In my case I prefer the Exhange push because I don't have to be bother with third party software.
I'm running BBconnect 4.0.0.67 with a BES service. BBC4 contains further security settings and services; giving me email, calendar, tasks, contacts note syncing and a blackberry browser.

whats the rom OS version (5.x.xxx), AKU and system version (found in the BBC about tab)?
I think we have similar requirements, this is how I set mine up for very little outlay
I also have my own business and this is the setup I am using and it works very well for me.
I Have a VPOP3 mail server (www.pscs.co.uk)
And each user has a mail2web account (the free one)
In Vpop3 I have it set so that each user's assistant is set to their mail2web account (this automatically forwards all mail to the mail2web account as well as leaving it in the users mailbox for when he downloads mail to his outlook on his pc. The only negatives is that when I send mail from my Hermes it shows my mail2web account but I use a signature on my device that informs the recipient that the mail was sent from my mobile and that they should please reply to the following account etc.
This solution works really well for me.
My Wife is on a corporate Blackberry server with a proper blackberry device and when I send a test mail to mine and her device mine gets the email withing 30 seconds where hers sometimes takes up to 15mins.

Thanks dude. I'll give them a try...
Edit: Hmmm I've tried that combination before and my BB 4 client is generating the same BB system version but I'm getting illegal pin. I wonder if RIM is checking device type as well as I'm on a Wizard...
Does BBConnect enable you to send and receive PIN messages? That's the one thing Exchange push lacks. It's a nice thing to fall back on should there be anything wrong with either the Exchange or BES servers.
Does anyone know how to get im+ to work through blackberry's connection? That is the 1 downfall for me because I stay connected all day which = no email since it goes through cingy connection, I tried to force bb connection always on with no luck...

Could you also be so kind and have a look in the following reg-hive and tell me what is listed there?
HKLM\System\Versions\DeviceVersionInfo

On BES that will be a problem, as the connection is established with blackbery.net ( private, NAT'ed ). And it gets groped when any other edge/3g connection is requested.
Hi,
I'm in need of a few answers to my SBS 2k3 and Push email problems since my new SBS build.
Are there any Gurus out there that are quite experienced in it?
Using SBS 2k3 Exchange install right now on my Tytn II. What are your issues?
Hi,
My Old SBS 2k3 server died the other day so we rebuilt a new server on new hardware.
Applied all the updates and upgrades.
re loaded all my emails and contacts under my login name and now up and running receiving mail via SMTP.
I have now setup my hermes (flashed with WM6) to the server under active sync and it has brought across all my emails / contacts via the grps.
Now if I say add a calendar event to my hermes it within seconds has synced it with my servers client machine with no interaction from myself other than adding the event. (this way works fine)
Trouble is if I add an event to my client machines outlook it doesnt sync it with my phone for ages ( ie can take up to 10 minutes) or I have to manually initiate activesync on the phone.
So it pushes from the phone fine but the server doesnt push back properly.
The schedule under activesync on the phone is set to 'as items arrive'.
I hope this makes sense.
sbs 2k3 direct push
after you update an appointment from the PC open the inbox from the PPC and click on send/receive... see if that forces the updates to the phone.
Hi Guys,
I bought myself a HTC Desire last night but it wont authenticate with my Exchange 2007 server. I have many other handsets which use Windows Mobile and manage to connect to and sync fine via ActiveSync.
I have tried this via both HSDPA/3G connections and also WiFi within the office.
No joy
Can anyone offer any advice?
Exchange 2007 worked fine using 2.1 (Mail), and better using froyo (Mail+Appointments)
I just point to the corporate webmail server, using the correct domain/user/pass.
It is off course necessary for your IT dept. to allow this..

Hi hmmr,
I am definitely using correct credentials and server address etc. As for the IT Department, I am it
I'm thinking there's something I need to do on Exchange 2007 but not sure what.
Did you try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7593171&postcount=4 ?
I found the problem, it was user error. I was typing my password incorrectly. I will now sack myself
I'd like to sync my HTC desire's calendar and contact with Outlook from work. The issue is that at work I do not have priviledged rights to my PC, so I can't install any program and our IT helpdesk does not want to install for me an Outlook add-on that would sync with google calendar/contact.
The only thing I can do though, is to run programs on my work PC that don't require installation (ie portable apps only).
So far, what I have been able to do was to run portable thunderbird on a UBS key, collect my Outlook contact with portable thunderbird. Then transfer these thunderbird contact to thunderbird installed on my home PC and with the gContactSync addon, the thunderbird contacts extracted from thunderbird are eventually synced to my google contact(and then obviously to my phone). This is however a tedious process that I can't do on a daily basis. And it's only a one way process from home to google/phone, not the reverse. I'm wondering whether I could do this in a more convenient and more automated way (including possibly the calendar)?
Also I know the Desire can be synced with Exchange servers, but I doubt it would be feasible in my case: To start with, I don't know how I would be able to do that, and in particular how I would be able to collect the exchange server info required for the setup without the help of the IT services (they won't be particularly helpful because it is not for pro usage).
Any advice would be nice

Well, you can always try a way that worked with iPhone and any other device with MS Activesync.
If you have a VPN account to your company, try to connect with a VPN client to your desire and then you can setup an activesync account to your phone.
Try it using the actual ip address of your exchange server.
It worked for me in the past.
