Older version of messenger

Does anyone have a .cab file for MSN messenger that was avilable before the live version was released. I'd love to try it on the Orbit to see if it works as this will get around the contacts problem (and possibly another issue)?
<edit> I've done a search but only seem to turn up Live Messenger.

@darkblak
I couldnt find anything as well.
I am looking for the Messenger from the Original German O2 WM6 Rom. If anyone can help me? I dont like this Live log in.

Yes, similar - the older version of Messenger gets around the firewall here - whereas the newer "Live" version is blocked.
And I just hate the newer version.

Is there any version of MSN LIVE, which cant add anything into my contacts??

I have a Pocket MSN version from WM5 system which don't add msn contacts into the phone. I think it is better than any live versions.

Great post ! Thanks!

best IM program for its AIM

the only IM program I use is aim. I've read the comparison chart and a few threads I found searching but I haven't really seen one that comments directly on the aim functionality of the programs.
what client do you all like best for aim?
thanks

I use IM+ and i like it.

Agile Messenger all the way. Has softkey support for WM5/6 which IM+ does not. Plus IM+ doesnt auto-reconnect if you drop cellular signal. Agile does.

I use MunduIM. It's cheap, has a decent interface, and works well.

auto reconnect seems like a must have feature if you want people to be able to communicate to you on aim reliably.

i was looking for an IM program that works with sms so i downloaded mobile IM (oz communcations) via medianet and it works ok, i dunno why but windows mobile makes everything seem complicated. i had the same prog on my old sony ericsson w810 and it seemed to work a lot smoother

im also looking for a good Aim client sort of like the one similar to the sorry ass t-mobile sidekick... an aim client that includes ur buddies away messages next to there name and also has there icon picture visable

I've noticed a majot trend- seems like almost everyone here wants something that used data instead of SMS for IM. I'm quite the opposite, and am looking for a client that works like the original OEM, that uses SMS. I actually don't have a data plan, and even if I did, I have unlimited IM through SMS and would rather use that than a data connection.
I've found CABs of the Oz client used on both AT&T and T-Mobile, and I've installed both, but both give me the same strange error when I run it.

Any ideas or hints on this one? Any good IM clients out there for WM6 that would use SMS, or at least give you the option to use SMS?

slick messenger..
can buzz in yahoo and live messenger with it
dunno in aim because i didnt have aim id

For those looking for IM over SMS get the latest OZ Instant Messenger and Today plugin here:

http://www.cinetsystems.com/xda/Kaiser Cab Collections/OZ_IM_Today_Plugin.CAB
For those looking for IM over DATA get Agile Messenger here:
http://rapidshare.com/files/57054171/agile_messenger_ppc.CAB.html

slick is definitely the best.. its so fast to when i send messages it actually is instant unlike other programs. plus it free and supports a wide variety of protocols.

Without question, agile is just as "instant" as slick and FAR better looking than slick (which looks like it was directly ported from a series 60 device and doesnt even utilize the windows mobile interface.) Have you even tried it?

Am I doing something Wrong ?

Same hea, it just doesn't connect at all either through 3G or WiFi.

OK I thought It was Just me lol
"mbial" Are you using this and it's Working for you ?

Go figure it's having problems...the proxy used by this program is currently offline, but it is a temporary problem. Expect it to be resolved soon. It is NOT the program, but the web proxy. Please be patient and it'll work soon.
MJB

Interesting ? And exactly Who's Proxy Is this going through.... Please PM me if this is Sensitive Material
Anyway to Tunnel it Through my own Proxy Server ? So I don;t have to Rely on Someone elses ?

i have used agile before and i admit the slick interface isn't as nice as agile, but its not unbearable. i actually kind of like the simplistic streamlined look though. plus slick has features such as file transfers, offline ims, messages history, and a lot more configuration options.
also doesn't agile require you to purchase a key after a certain amount of uses?

GMail Java App on Excalibur/Dash

I was wondering if anyone has been able to use the Gmail java app on WM 6.1 on the excalibur? When I try to log in after I run it, there is some error, the applet closes and I get the message "This file cannot be viewed on this device".
Any ideas? I tried to install a newer Jbed+opera mini+gmail pack yesterday from one of the other forums, but it didn't work very well and had display problems compared to the Jbed version included in the 6.1 roms. Are the newer esmertec jbed versions better? I found several 2008 revisions on the forums, but can't tell if theyre for smartphone or just for WM pro.
Thanks in advance!

Why not just add your gmail account to your phone and skip the java app? It's unnecessary.

I have the same problem. Luckily Opera Mini works fine.

Have to agree, unless you mean using the gmail layout as homepage, to which i don't think works on Mobile devices?

I have been using gmail with the phone's built in email system, which has been OK, except that I cant seem to send any emails through gmail's smtp server. I wanted to switch to the java app because one of the local cell phone providers has a cheap unlimited on device browsing option that doesn't work with the phone's email system but apparently does with the java gmail app. Looks like I'm stuck with opera mini then! Thanks!

I would go to your Gmail account and enable IMAP, then use that on the Excalibur's standard email account handler. IMAP is far superior to POP/SMTP especially when you check mail from multiple locations- any deletions (or even marking something read) are passed up to the server so you only manage your emails once.
There are tutorials on Gmail's site that detail getting IMAP enabled, and also how to configure your typical mobile phone to use the IMAP settings. It was easy for me.

I think the gmail java app works by IMAP also. At least that was my experience with gmail mobile on a blackberry.

I am having the same problem as the initial post. has anyone figured this out? please don't tell me to use wm's native email client. I know I can do that. i need to use gmail's java midlet. i have tried installing other midlet managers but they don't work either. is there a way to uninstall the dash's native gui java midlet manager?

Using the phones email client takes away your search ability as well as the label system which I use alot.

Text Messaging through PC?

I've done a little research into this and I'm wondering if there's an application to use that I can send text messages through my PC when my S620 is connected?
I found a Microsoft SMS program that seems to only work with non-smart phones. I would think they especially make an app for Windows Mobile phones if they have one for plain old cell phones.
Any know anything?

hey there
There's a product called TrueConnect but it aint free. Look for MyMobile which is almost the same, but ya cant text (that i know off) using it. If anyone knows any different, post a reply please.

DashWire allows it and it's free...

WinMo 6.5 Out of Office Assistant

hi folks! I have been playing around with my new tilt 2 and searching this forum and the web for an answer but have been unsuccesful. I am trying to learn how to set up an "out of office" (OOF) auto reply using Outlook mobile. Most references I see to this are for Windows 6.1. I have looked under Tools and Options while in outlook inbox and while in the calendar and I do not see the OOO assistant anywhere. Anyone know where to find this? I was hoping to find some sort of user manual for WinMo 6.5 that would provide info like this but cant find that either.
any advice would be great, thnx!

Hi Taz The instructions for setting it up are on page 158 of your Tilt2 users manual.
If you don't have yours anymore, there's an archived copy on THIS page

thxn for the reply sirphunkee! unfortunately, when I navigate to Outlook email and then click on Menu -> Tools, the only option I have is "Sort By". I do not see an out of office option like the instructions suggest. Any idea what I could be missing here?

No, and I noticed I don't have the option there either...but I'm running WM 6.1 instead of 6.5 so I assumed that was the reason. However, after looking around some it seems that all references are to the option being in that location, for both 6.1 and 6.5. The only other possibility I see is that the option will work only if the account is through an M$ exchange server, particularly 2007...do you know if the account you're accessing is on an Exchange '07 server, or on Exchange at all?
That's all I could really find on that...

It is connecting to an exchange server but I'm not sure which version it is....

You need Exchange 2007 or 2010 in order for the Out Of Office to work. I'm a Systems Administrator btw
