Has anyone managed to get the auto notify of messages working with a Blue Angel on the O2 network?
i've registered for email-to-sms and the device is definitely receiving some kind of notification, but the activesync isnt trying to connect to the server to resynch against the remote mailbox.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Which email-to-sms service have you registerd with? I know O2 don't offer that.

This appears to offer what I'm looking for!
Very interesting!
I've been reviewing a whole host of 'push email' solutions available to O2 users here in the UK.
GoodLink, Smartner, Intellisync..... etc
I don't receive mail particularly often; hence I think the inbuilt auto-check would be an unnecessary waste of GPRS data bandwidth. Besides, it defeats the purpose of 'push mail'!!!
The service you've mentioned looks like it may make AUTD a viable option.
I have an O2 XDA IIs by the way, and have been waiting for the O2 Blackberry ROM update to be released (aaarrgh)!
Will give your suggestion a go.
carl, let me know if you get it going.
Like i said, mine seems to be working as I can track the message leaving the exchange environment and entering my sendmail scanner before being delivered to the mmail.co.uk mx gateways.
the device does appear to receive something, but i've got no idea what.
Suppose I should probably switch my SIM to a non-MS mobile and see what arrives.
as you said its not true push, and costing 10p to receive an SMS may seem excessive but it depends on usage, and apparently you can configure the sms notification to a timed period, say once an hour. This hopefully would mean that even if you dont have a mail in an hour, no sms will be sent thus you only actually sync when the server acknowledges receipt of new mail.
Look forward to hearing your results.

Mmail has been around for years but this has nothing to do with AUTD on your exchange. Bit of a nasty compromise.
Much more interesting are rumours of Windows Mobile 5.0 and a service pack for exchange 2003 that will fully integrate push email.

Hi,
I've tried that here in Germany with O2 and it didn't work either. Previously when I had a vodafone account it worked without problem.
After some investigation I found out that O2 is adding some kind of signature (or removing some characters, don't remember). There is nothing you can do about it, you need a different e-mail to SMS provider!
We are currently using GFI Faxmaker's SMS gateway with an account from an SMS provider.
Tried a number of different configurations!
No luck in trying to het the mmail.co.uk service to work with AUTD on exchange server.
Guess I'll have to hold out for the proposed Windows Mobile 2005/ Exchange Server SP2 solution!!!

I am holding off buying the device until this is available. Any idea on when and on what fixes it will have?
Latest update from O2:
" Blackberry for the xda2s is still on the way we are actually testing this in conjunction with RIM and our enterprise server support team. We still do not have a confirmed date for release as there are still some bugs in the system. I know it is frustrating but we have to be sure that it will integrate fully with the xda so as to provide a powerful piece of kit. "
They also denied that AUTD would work on O2 due to Microsoft's implementation of the notifications (nothing to do with how they mangle any messages).
To his credit, the analyst who mailed me back tried to appease me by describing the steps to get it synching on a schedule, but this isnt ideal as everytime is synchs, even if nothing has changed, thats data being used. The bonus of AUTD is the device only synchs when it KNOWS something has changed.
Still waiting and to be honest I'm in serious doubt if it will ever appear and might get rid of my device.
Oh no, that is bad news. I only want the device because it is supposed to support Blackberry so I don't have to carry around two devices. If it doesn't come out then they have lost a sale with me. Oh well. It is good to hear they are testing and won't release it until it works, doesn't always happen this way!
I've heard that this service will work with AUTD, but don't know myself as I don't use it:

There are a lot of e-mail-to-SMS services you can use. It's just O2's service that is causing the problems.
You could also install your own e-mail->SMS gateway
We are currently using GFI Faxmaker's SMS gateway solution, it works just fine with O2!
Hi I just bought MDA Pro badged as T-Mobile in Brunei. The software it came with is O2 !! ?? so someone has changed it from the German OS from original T-Mobile maybe and made it English using O2 software maybe.
Anyway it all works ok apart from I can't synch to my PC running MS Outlook 2003.
I have updated my Active synch to 4.1. My old XDAII still synchs no problem but new MDA gives support code 85010014.
Any ideas
Many thanks
if you can do all the other syncing but not the office2003 sync you should repair your installation of office2003. it is there in the help tab.
Thanks for the help but I have already tried that. Also reinstalled activsync and repaired it. I see from other sources on the web (take a look at google) that this is happening to a LOT of users but NO answers yet. Not that seem to WORK anyway and OF COURSE nothing from MS!!
Just do search for the error code here in the forum and I'm sure you'll find an answer.
I'm not quite sure, as I recall you need to unistall & reinstall outlook, as well as deleting more than one or two partnership is in active sync.
Thanks
Hello,
I have problems to synchronize my Xda Exec (Qtek 9000) with my computer at work. Sometimes it succeeds but mostly it fails. Activsynch 4.1 is installed. I have two kind of messages : either "server is busy" code 85010017, either "there was a problem on your desktop", code 85010014.
Can somebody help me ?
thank you
Vincent
Yup im getting the "85010014" all of a sudden, worked fine last week until i forgot to recharge the exec, now when i put it in the cradle to sync and charge i get that error, from what i've read the soloution is to uninstall and then reinstall outlook which im loathe to do as the backup prog i use for outlook backups doesnt bakup the rules i have set for it.
Yup. It's works!!! I had the similar problem and what I did was in the 'Add or Remove Programs' in the 'Change' applet to remove and add the Outlook again. The rules are still intact but I'm not sure it will remain under your case. Many thanks pal.

Hi Guys,
I just got my phone bill from Vodafone (Spain) and the bill was way high! They said it was because I wasn't accessing my email via push mail what ever the heck that is.
Since I'm using the Excalibur (a phone they don't have) with WM 6.1 (that really threw them) they had no clue how to walk me thru the set up on my phone.
I've done several searches but I couldn't find a tread on how to set up push mail. Anyone able to share their insight?
I'm running Kavanas ROM
Thanks in Advance.
