Hi I've just upgraded to WM6 on an Hermes and have just tried the mail2web free service. However when I send emails it shows up as comming from [email protected] (I have activated email forwarding from my personal email address). Is there anyway to show my personal email address that with the free account? or does one need to have the $5 per month account?
Thanks!
You must have a paid account to show your own address in the From: field.
Anybody know what paid service package in mail2web can change the "reply to" as my personal email address?

Personal Exchange is what you want.
If you go into your account options, you will se where you can upgrade right there.
I tried it, and it worked fine. I actually went back to the free version, because my emails to my co-workers always bounced back since the alias wasn't from the work server (we're on a POP3 mail system).
it's something like $3 or $5 a month.
BTW if you have any problems, just email their support staff. I get great service, and within a few hours, actually.
hey guys from Artemis 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 do not have MAPI access, have 50mb storage, have no aliases either.
Depending on utilization I may increase this 10 free account limit.
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
mail2web.com offer free exchange with push and 1gb limits. Been using them for a year now and there pretty good. You can also enable their email aggregator. Thisis where it picks up pop3 mail from your other mail accounts into the one.
They also offer a subscription if you want some enhanced services but it is more than yours. Used to be $2 but they more than doubled the price Not so bad for me though as Im in the UK and the exchange rate is good but still, a huge leap.

i used mail2web for a couple of weeks when i first got my phone their free service, however, does not support aliasing and I didn't want that. so my options were to either pay $5 a month or just set up my own server. i of course went for the latter!
the aggregator is an unnecessary feature if you ask me. any email provider that allows pop access would also allow forwarding access. forwarding would just be much much faster (i.e. instant) versus pop where you have to tell the aggregator to download email every x minutes.
but yeah, anyway, choice is always a good thing
MAPI (i.e. desktop outlook) access is now enabled
still plenty of resources to use up so drop me a line if interested!
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!
Chamelion
Have you got any free accounts left ?
Also - I don't think that my ISP actually supports email forwarding (BTYahoo/BTInternet) ... so does you support email collection yet ?
** Edit - well, just for a change it appears that I'm wrong. They do support email forwarding ! Must be a new feature
Cheers
Mark
hey mark,
can set you up with a free trial account, shoot me a PM with desired username
i don't support email collection, but a workaroudn is have a gmail account pull mail via pop and forward everything to my server...
Just a note of thanks
I've been using Chamelion's mail service for about a month now...
I have an exchange server for my work mail, but just needed a fast, clean IMAP server, with no ads and resonable storage. I also get no mobile signal at home, so connect over wifi in the house, and push email rewuires a GPRS connection to work.
I have my mail polled by my device every 10 minutes, and also have an IMAP account set up on my Outlook on my work system, so I have a consolidated personal email account at Chamelion's servers. I've forwarded my personal domain mail to the server, and created cname records on my personal DNS for imap.mydomain.com and smtp.mydomain.com to go to chamelion's, so my mail setup looks totally like it's my own server!
RECOMMENDED TO EVERYONE!

appreciate the positive review quite a setup you got going there, amazing how much you can pull off if you know what you're doing!!
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!

Fellow XDA Users!
I have set up a mail system hosted by Google with the domain name 'mailtomymobile.com'.
You can have an account there if you'd like one - it's based on Googlemail, so you get all the features ofGmail - large disk capacity, full web access, forwarding, spam filtering etc, and of course, you can access it via POP3 or preferably IMAP on your XDA.
There is a limit of 500 user accounts available beyond which it is not financially viable... if you'd like an account, I'm asking for a one-off donation for setup of £10 (20 USD)... some of the funds generated will be donated to this site and xdasite.com to contribute towards running costs. PrivateMessage me or email [email protected] with the username you require and a secondary email address where the login information etc can be sent, and I'll get back to you with more details. Usernames are, of course, first come, first served.
There's already a thread in the Dev&Hacking section but I think this may be worth sharing with the TP2 crowd.
ALOL offers free exchange service. If you check out the other thread, you will see that a lot of xda users (including myself) have signed up and are generally quite satisfied with the service.
A great thing is if you donate, you can ask them to change the "From" field of your emails to whatever you like. So if you have all your Gmail forwarded to ALOL and have them change the "From" to your Gmail address, you will have true push Gmail.
This service is also provided by an XDA-member, I use my gmail as an alias on this service. Not free but works perfectly (and great support!):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=346153
so with this can I essentially get my exchange mail on my TP2 without going on the exchange server and making changes?
Dear admins,
I received this email from paypal this morning.
http: imgur.com/hRcDthL
Background:
- Email was registered with xda using yahoo address guard since 2010.
- Emails are forwarded to gmail account
- I am not an active contributor but i do frequent this site a lot to find info.
- My xda account details are not set to public
- Other services which have this email address is tapatalk
I believe the email is legit, as it has been signed by paypal and verified by gmail.

Thanks for the heads up - I think the concern here is that your email address has been discovered via XDA. There was another thread where people were getting spams to XDA-only email accounts, where the accounts were all created before 2012. It would appear that at some point email addresses were recoverable from XDA, however we are not sure if it is via a privacy exploit on a web page, a 3rd party service (like tapatalk) or database dump. We don't have any evidence of anything besides people with XDA-only email addresses getting emails. What we would recommend is changing your password on XDA (and all sites!) occasionally just in case there was a database dump, and we have looked into any privacy exploits on our servers and are not aware of any now (or in the past).
Hope that helps.
