Problem setting up email after 6.1 upgrade - HTC Excalibur

I installed Ricky's 6.1 and everything went well. I have turned on the GPRS and can go to the web and stuff like that. The problem I am having is I can not get my Email to work when I add an account. My Outlook email box syncs fine, and my Text messages work. But when I go to add my Gmail account or my work email, they both keep asking for my user name and password for the incoming server.
I know the settings are correct, they are the same I used before the 6.1 upgrade. Now I did use Sprite backup before the update. When I restore my backup up the Email works fine, but it screws up a bunch of other stuff from the upgrade.
Is there a file or T-mobile plug in I have to install to get it working again?

Windows Live Messenger screwed (WM6)

Managed to upgrade my XDA Orbit to the original WM6 upgrade fine, was all running sweet. Had WLM set-up for my hotmail account. I wanted to use another hotmail for WLM so I decided to click on "Switch User"...... ehm now WLM is screwed. All my messenger contacts are gone from contacts, messenger will open but tries to sign in with no account?? It wont let me add another account, and I cannot set-up my hotmail for emails as it uses WLM to set it up. When I try to set it up for email, Windows Live just loads and never asks to set-up an account. I have tried reinstalling WLM but this just adds duplicate links and has the same issues?? LOL
Is there any way of "resetting" WLM (without having to hard reset my device?
Any help would be much appreciated
so I'm guessing nobody knows anything about this? Has anybody tired switching accounts to see if its just my software? Any response would be nice
Switching accounts works fine on mine. I am using the Touch-Flo ROM from on the site.

WM6 & xpressmail not deleting from server

I'm using xpressmail with Lotus Notes at work. I just upgraded my phoen to Windows Mobile 6 and the newest xpressmail client. When I delete mail on my phone, it does not delete on the server. I can delete 100 messages on my phone, synch it manually or automatically and the mail is still in my server-copy. It's very annoying. It will mark read messages as read on the server, just won't delete.
Any ideas? This worked fine on WM5.
xpressmail client version 6.6.4.160
xpressmail phone version 6.7.3.296

Hmmm, I also use Xpress Mail, and mine NEVER actually deleted anything from the server when I "deleted" it from the device ... not under WM5, nor any of the versions of WM6 that I have used. Are you SURE yours used to have this ability under WM5?
Anyway, considering how often I mess with this phone, flashing ROMs and playing with configs, I don't think I'd WANT it to be able to delete my work email, since it sometimes gets confused when a new ROM is flashed, and then when it re-registers, it finds mail in the download path. I like being able to see the mail "magically" disappear when I move stuff out of the Inbox at the desktop at work
But that's me.
-pvs
go to Seven.com and sign up for the beta... It is the new version of the xpressmail app by the developers

BB Connect and Calendar entries

Is there a way to accept calendar invites when they come through BB email onto my Dash and have them automatically go onto the calendar in the Dash? I found something in the Calendar settings but it only allows me to select Outlook email.
TIA.
were you able to activate BBC on your dash? when i try i get an error message. also i have no e-mail settings,, "unavailable"... services-- only provisioning, and my two mail accts. do you have the browser, im, and what ever else????
I am not sure if you did this yet or maybe you have it working by now, but in order to get the BB emails from, lets say T-Mobile, you have to add a BB plan. Then you have to go to T-Mobile web site, change your phone to a BB8100, go to set up BB email and set it up with an email account to push. Then after a while, for me it was 3-4 hours, go back to the email setup and there should be a notification that a device with your BB PIN# wants to receive mail. Click yes. It should start working.
Pre-requisites:
T_Mobile ROM does not support this working. You must upgrade to the new HTC ROM posted here.
You need to make sure you ave the LATEST BBConnect installed on your phone. Earlier ones did not work for me.

Go to messaging\Setup E-mail and just use automatic setup and it will connect via POP3.
Doesn't work POP3 either, I did it before and nothing....I was searching on internet and most of peoples said that use IMAP4 but nothing....
I'd like if anyone that has proxy 5.99 TMO has been configured GMAIL on WM6.1
What server are you using guyz???
I have gmail setup on kavana's 6.1 rom also using tzones 5.99 for internet. works fine. Im just using the regular pop and smtp settings
What option do you have for the server...Internet?
with that doesn't work mine and I change for: T mobile MMS, T mobile Data, work....doesn't work either
I have mine set to work.
I have the same problem. I have the unlimited plan and I get the "connection error" and I it asks for my login and password over and over. I only have this problem with 6.1. I have tried the T-mobile email plugin, and the other 3 ways of adding an email account.
Wierd thing is, I backed up my 6.0 data before the swap to 6.1 with Sprite backup. When I restore to the 6.1 I get me email back and it works fine, problem is that it really screws up most of the stuff I got with 6.1.
I also have the same issue.
My Yahoo and Gmail worked fine on 6.0.
6.1 Yahoo refused to work until just the other day...It has not worked since the 6.1 install until now...
Gmail will not work either no matter what... It did download the headers, but it shows nothing and will not work otherwise...
if you guys want tell me the screens you need and ill get you the settings that work for me.
I tried a lot of option and nothing guys, let see what I do....I did POP & IMAP and nothing..I tried Yahoo and doesn't work either instead they work fine through IE.
I did it POP as default and "works" sometimes, when you click on send/receive gave you the Connection ERROR....and when the system did by itself work good ( I think)...
ERROR....." The remote party has ended this connection"...
I go a new messajw
"The remote party has ended this connection"....
Does anyone has this message before?
just out of curiosity do you have pop turned on thru gmail?
Off course....
And I have setting up to "work" too
When I push (send/receive) gave that error...
Only download automatically messages twice when it's wants....
What do you recommend me to do?

Send/Receive not Receiving, but its sending.

Hello, I'm a bit confused at this problem. I just yesterday upgraded to WinMo 6.5. Seems to be working fine except my gmail account isn't working right. (It was working on 6.1). When I click send/receive, it doesn't download any messages (even though I have download messages from last 3 days).
It just says: Connecting, logging on, looking for changes, finished.
However, when I *send* e-mails, they recipients get them.
What am I doing wrong?? I didn't use exchange or outlook or any of that stuff. When I was setting up my phone from startup I Just put in my userID and password.
Also another side question: I Would like to install a custom rom, but since the devs are updating and making fixes very often... how am I to update them? Would I have to hard reset and install it all over again for the minor bug fixes?
Thanks
are you using pop3 and not imap for fetching the messages?
did you setup the account by typing server addresses or by selecting gmail.
you are probably using POP3 and those missing messages get downloaded already to your PC.
imap is working more smoothly for me. is more advanced and newer, just it could take little more data.
set the account manually, you have to go around little to do so, on first screen, when asked to put your email address, mistype it, don't put gmail there for now. "[email protected]"
go through all settings, set it to imap and then go back through option to edit that account and fix your address.
-don't forget to allow imap access in your gmail account through web-mail in internet browser
if you insist on POP3, chenk other devices you use for mail if there is "leave messages on server" option ON
i am not quite sure now, been not using POP on gmail for a long time, but I have a feeling that gmail's interpretation of POP is IGNORING "leaving messages on server" option, so having 2 devices POPing mail is not possible and you'll need to use IMAP at least on one

you have only three options
1. ignore updates
2. just download updated app and install it over the old one.
- not recommended if you don't know about how OEMs are working,
2. yes update always and then you can have a lot of different tools to help you get back where you finish with the old one. backup/restore, provisioning scripts, reg files. and though you will need to set quite a few things first time, to match your needs and private settings, after that, every time you flash or format, you are where you've been.
I made couple of them too, packup is working just fine for me,
you can try sdautorun and place your settings in CABs on SD card too.
Thank you, it seemed to work. I had deselected and reselected Imap, did a send/receive and nothing happened. Set my phone to charge and then I come back and all my e-mails had been downloaded.
Thanks for the custom rom info. I think I'll just stick on stock 6.5 for now. If the ram usage gets too much then I'll go for energy rom.
