So, today I have been playing with MSN Messenger Live on the my 8525. However, I have been having issues talking to older MSN Messengers [say around 4.7 or so]. I was testing it chatting to my PC and to my Wifes PC, once I updated both to 7.5 all issues seem to go away [for my PC and my wifes PC].
The odd thing is that Live on the PDA see the users perfectly well, even when their status changes. Also, the issue goes both ways - the older MSN can not sent text nor can the PDA send text to the older MSN. You get a error like: "Unable to Start a conversation with *user*, the following message could not be sent".
Anyone else having this issue?
no but im having other problems. on my 8525 when ever i use the today screen plug in to try to get back in to messenger it opens a new messenger and bugs out on me i have to restart before i can sign back in. get any of that?
@odie3:
I've had that a couple of times, I simply signout and sign in again.
@fb.knight:
Take a look at the other threads, there are more stable cabs (not necessarily newer) floating out there.
I am using VP3g's ROM and am having some xpress mail trouble. I like xpress mail as it provides better functionality than a basic pop setup. I am having three issues.
1: I couldnt find the xpress mail that came with the phone. I searched cingular's site and found what I think to be the correct version. Dont remember the exact title of the file, but it said "WM5" in it. Does anybody have the cab for xpress mail that cam e with the un-official "official" release of WM6?
2: When I try to connect, i get this error: Error S7122: Cannot connect to the server. Please check your connection and try again" ... my connection is fine. nothing else has trouble. The passwords are fine too. When i first set up xpress mail, it pulls all of my messages down no problem... but never works again.
3: When i try to send a message, it will stick in the outbox. But... the person I sent the message to will get copy after copy after copy after copy ... until i remove it from my outbox.
It's a pretty frustrating problem. I'd like to use xpress mail (even though I know the push features are crummy at best) but can't seem to get it right. My issues may be resolved with a simple cab from the lates release from HTC/ATT. If anyone has that and wants to upload it, i will be glad to try it : )
thanks for any help,
Jason
UPDATE (WORKING):
I signed up for SEVEN's beta program. I was able to download a cab for what appears to be the new xpressmail client. This cab was marked intended for the 8125.. but, it works and it works VERY well. Even better than the old one with the REAL official ROM. Cab is attached to this post. hope it helps someone.

I'm using Xpress Mail with the Black Shadow IV WM6 ROM, without any issues. Works well as a matter of fact. I didn't have to do anything "special" to get it to work. Just installed the client on my PC and the 8525 per normal install instructions.
got the issue fixed.
J~
thank you i like xpress mail
Nice lead, I hadn't heard about 7 and it's perfect for what I need. Thanks!

gr8hifi, what did you use for the "connector id" on the user name, password, connector id screen (unless it's personal and not some universal setting)? I assume you got that when you signed up for the beta program?
I've run the reg hack to disable the roaming warning but xpressmail won't delete messages out of my pc's outlook on wm6...they'll delete on the phone but that delete won't get sent back to my pc's outlook. If I flash back to the signed rom off HTC's site that the 8525 came with (so running wm5) it works great and the delete replicates within seconds. I've tried this on quite a few wm6 roms but no joy.
Does your beta version replicate the deletes back to your pc?
thanks!
oh if you still need the xpressmail.cab that you get from the "Get XpressMail" PIE link I'll ftp it up to the upload site
thanks for the program!
has anyone with a comcast email account successfully get SEVEN to push and send email out?
i had to configure my comcast email account through the POP configuration, and then had to manually configure the incoming/outgoing settings. once i did that, it successfully connected to SEVEN. i have no problem sending emails, however, i cannot recieve incoming emails. anyone have any thoughts?
thanks!
I'm using this with my gmail account. For my user name and pwd, i just put in my gmail information. It syncs the mail from my gmail to my phones inbox. If I delete from the phone's inbox, it will delete from my gmail account. I do not have it connected to my desktop email. The only thing I do is, at night, i open my desktop. Then, all of the messages that I left on the phone are downloaded to my desktop. I can then delete them from my phone and they will be deleted from the gmail servers. This is the setup that I am using.
I wish I could be of more help.

I have been running the duttyfix windows live messenger on a kaiser for a few weeks without problem on the standard orange ROM with some additional cabs installed.
However since yesterday messenger has repeatedly failed to sign in with the error message "there is a problem with this server, please try again later"
I have tried to reinstall the cab after removing the original and have made no other ammendments software wise. I wondered if this was something that other people were experiencing currently? internet access on wifi and 3g is fine and i have no other handsets in this location to do a test with a different unit.
If anyone can post comment its appreciated. thanks
Update .. have installed the old CAB for pocket PC and this is working fine .. letting me access messenger with no problems but without the obvious add ons of messenger live.
Just making me even more puzzled now lol. Has anyone contact microsoft over this and if so have they had any suggestions?
D
I searched all the forums about this issue but all I can find is things dealing with setting up text messaging. I have no network problems with data, text, or voice I just used the HTC network wizard.
Whenever I get a text message I can see the the beginning of the text in the selection screen but when I click on it the message is blank? So I can't read the whole text. I searched this Forum but couldn't find any people with similar problems. It seems to send them fine I just can't read the whole message for some strange reason. I have been clearing my memory and then flashing my Tmob Dash for the last three Kavana releases, they all exhibit this behavior. Any help appreciated with my problem.
What Rom are you using?

Kavana 080408. The texts that I get show up on the main screen with a little bit of the text but when I click on them they don't show anything. I tried pressing all the buttons I can but it doesn't seem to do anything.
See is UNthreading them helps.
Uhm, just a silly guess here, but next time you're on the blank screen, click menu (right softkey) > 5 (Folders) > change to inbox, at least if it's not on inbox already. My friend changed his to sent and couldn't figure out why he couldn't see new ones either hehe
I looked everywhere in the messaging app and also the regular phone settings I don't see anything for unthreading. Also MMS can be viewed and sent normally. Just whenever I try to send or read a recieved text I have problems. When I try to send a text it doesn't let me type anything in at all. Not recipient and not the body of the text.
No I have already gone to all the folders. The inbox folder is where I can see the messages. You can read the begining of them, and who it is from but when you select one it doesn't show anything.
I had the same issue before, the problem disappeared after I uninstalled CE-Star (Chinese-reading problem).. do you have it installed?

Check in Accessibility Folder for unthreading.
DON'T Turn off the Damn active x
I finally fixed this problem.
I had a problem with WM 6.1 will only showing the headers and not allowing you to read the contents of : Text messages, Emails, MMS. This errors would also not allow you to write emails or text messages.
I thought Kavana's ROM had some big error with it but no one else was complaining. I downloaded Ricky's rom but same problem. So this weeked I fooled around with my phone believing it was some program I was installing. Even though I only install Google Maps, TCPMP, YGo, and Windows Live. I would install something then restart. I tried installing them one by one then it seemed to work but still after a time was becoming broken. I thought it had something to do with synching corrupted contact data. So I didn't synch but after a while it still came back.
This morning I finally realized that if you turn off active x it breaks the email and text which I assume both use IE active x The bad setting is.....
Main Settings Menu->IE Settings->Advanced Options -> NEVER TURN OFF ACTIVE X CONTROLS.
I think if Kavana, my personal hero, rolls another ROM you should take out this option.

I am glad to hear that you fixed and resolved your problem, and haha I hope that Kavana makes another Rom, he is awesome. But then again I got to thank Ricky for this rom to I love it.
hello i am having the exact same problem i checked all advice given i.e. make sure it is on inbox folder, check ie active x is enabled, and no change.
any advice
also when u do see the message headers like yianaki but when you select the message and then press a soft key it says"message cannot be signed and/or encrypted"
You need an encryption key for your email and you don't have it on your dash email, maybe. Just a guess. Is there documentation as to what you need to set up your email. What steps did you need to take to get your email on your home computer.
i actually have kavana 6.1 version 080408 so i just used the connection setup for US tmobile. and it was working previous to this problem. i did a hard reset now and its back to normal for now
SWEEEET!
Thanks "Y" you saved my life, I had the same problem. Keep Active x controllers checkmarked "On".
change IE option.
I had the same problem only can view the header of a msg, but can
t see the content. Here is what I did to solve it: go to IE\tools\option\general\encoding\change to Unicode
Cant Open Text Message.
Hi, I'm from Jamaica, I bought my HTC S621 from Digicel Jamaica [here]. I followed the instructions and installed WM6.1 80408 Kavana and it was totally amazing, I did it on Saturday and it worked great, everything was working GREAT. On Sunday I realized I was unable to open my text messages for viewing. When I click Text Message, the colour wheel shows and it starts to open then it closes. I did all the suggested this in this thread but nothing works, any more suggestions please, I really need to send text messages to my work crew and this is a major hindrance. I dont know how to soft or hard reset and would like to try that first, any other suggestion would be great. Thanks.
PLEASE dont laugh or throw tomatoes, I fixed it. In my attempt to load a Yahoo messenger app I installed an SMS application that was causing the issue. Problem solved, sorry to be a bother.

Just wanted to voice my agreement with Yianaki about "Never turn off Active X controls". The whole issue lies in the fact that the text messaging app is basically an Active X control. But I wanted to add the reminder that you need to make sure that the "Text Messages" app gets closed then reopened after you make the change, or it will not appear to work. (Use the task manager/celetask to close it)
I had the exact same problems with text messages: I could send an MMS, receive an SMS, but not send an SMS. When a text message came in, it showed up in the list as expected, but an attempt to view it resulted in a blank area with no useful menu options. I also couldn't send text (SMS) messages out because the create-new-SMS screen was blank and non-functional. It has nothing to do with the threaded vs unthreaded Accessibility settings for the phone, nor do you need to worry about configuring your WAP settings (GPRS and MMSC Settings); the "Connection Setup" app takes care of everything for T-Mobile perfectly. It's all an Active X issue.
PS: This is all on Ricky's v24 "Vanilla" ROM of WinMo 6.1 running on a T-Mobile Dash.
Howdy, whenever I try and log into MSN I get an error " Checking internet connection." and then "Synchronisation failed."
When I was on the stock 6.1 I had no trouble logging in. Also, if I install 'Live' I am then able to log in using the later version.
My problem is that Live insists on installing a Live mail button in my email accounts list, and I don't want it there. Trying to delete it just gives a popup saying it has to be deleted using 'add/remove' which obviously then removes all of Live so I am back to square one.
So I want to get my stock 6.5 MSN working, or find a way of installing a later MSN (from Live maybe ?) but without all the bloat that comes with it.
I am on T-mobile in the UK, but using an unlocked/unbranded handset.
Thanks folks.
