I used to sync my hotmail and msn mails directly with Pocket MSN via ActiveSync, the messenger working too
Now with Live (pre-installed on WM5 AKU 3.5) it stop working (messenger) and i don't know how to re-configure mail accounts
any idea how to configure Hotmail or MSN with new Pocket Live
If any one has "Pocket MSN" installer please send it
best regards
Windows Live
I am using Ivan's AKU 3.5 and this does not come with Windows Live pre-installed. Therefore I downloaded the Windows Live cab-file from the xdev-ftp site and installed it. I just needed it to get access to my Hotmail account. After istallation I logged on to Windows Live and set up to only sync my email (not my contacts) and everything worked smoothly.
Dunno if it is of help, but there is no need to downgrade. I also 'tested' Helmi's UKA 3.5 and Windows Live worked for me (as far as I remember)

I am using the Windows live and I do receive my hotmails without problems. In fact I would say it is better than previous pocket msn.
I have tested to sending myself a mail from other account. I have received the mail on my device ca. 15 -30 sec. after it has arrived on my hotmail inbox. It feels like push mail. Indeed I have started to forward my usual email accounts to hotmail and get it pushed to my device.
Who needs a exchange server :0)
I do exactly the same thing All my e-mail now goes to my hotmail account. Just be carefull that you don't drain the battery when staying connected
I was wondering if anyone has the cab installer for Pocket MSN. The ones before Windows Live? ... I've even asked this in another thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1090483&postcount=334
Is the above cab file the installer?

Strange.
PMSN puts the emails (send & receive) in "Hotmail Inbox/Sent" but Windows Live put the emails (receive? & send) in "Windows Live Inbox/Sent". At least those which I sent via Windows Live goes into "Windows Live Sent", not "Hotmail Sent".

hi
iam having trouble with windows live oin Official HTC rom, it just refuses to download mail, it gets stuck on syncronizing inbox.
any idea guys?
I have similar issue since yesterday. Also, when I try to search for something - it does not bring the results. Just opens another search window.
I am having the same problems.
Things were fine when I was using an old instalation of custels WM6...
Then today I decided to reflash the device to the new Official HTC WM6 rom and I could not get Windows live to sync with the inbox for email...
I then reflashed to the TNT2.0 rom and the same thing...
Real weird.. anyone have any ideas?

I had very similar problem, when I used rom Schaps_WM6Pro_WWE_3.54b-0804_Full. Problem was in internet settings (Ver. 3.60 - fixed).
I solved this problem install internet settings form cab: T-Mobile_UK_Settings_V1-1.1.CAB
Another problem, Hermes refuses operator settings. Whes T-Mobile tried to send me.
Similar Issue with Live Mail
I am also having an issue using Windows Live Mail on Sleuth's latest ROM. Over the last few days, some of my email messages are coming through blank. The message size is listed as 0/kb, but there is no option to download more of the message. When I check my email via PIE or on my laptop the entire message is there as normal.
Funny thing is this has only started over the past couple of days. It worked fine for weeks before, and now it seems that this issue is becoming more frequent (I got 8 blank messages today!)
I even tried changing to a different Live account and then back to mine. It fixed the blank messages in my inbox, but the second email I received was blank again!
Has anyone else experienced blank emails coming through from their hotmail email account?
Microsoft is currently extending from 2G to 5Gb live acount. Could be linked ?

I have a pocket pc made by HTC, model is Tytn. I am a Cingular subscriber in LA.
I have been using my PPC with windows mobile live 6 to access my hotmail account for the last year with no problem.
Just yesterday I installed an OFFICIAL WINDOWS MOBILE 6 rom that is the latest update from HTC for my phone. After instalation I could no longer sync Mobile live with my hotmail inbox as before. However, I can connect to my Live messenger from the same phone. When I try to sync my mobile live client with my hotmail inbox, I get an error message thats states, "email server did not respond, sync has failed". I then tried to connect with my wifes hotmail live account and had no problems at all. ThenI tried reconecting with my hotmail info and I got the same error message and the sync attempt with my hotmail inbox failed again.
This doews not make sense. I can sync with my wifes account, but cannot sync with my hotmail account. Why can I not sync to my hotmail inbox with mobile live, but I can sync to Mobile live messenger? Why does my hotmail live account work on the PC, but not on my phone? Why did it work the other day seamlessly, but not now after upgrading to a newer Official Windows Rom. Do you guys need to reset my hotmail account? I have also reinstalled the old rom and I still have the same problems.
Please solve my issue.. I depend on my mobile email retrieval from my phone for my job and at this point I am losing money and clients since I cannot use my email on my phone.

Lets back up here. This same device was working fine with my current hotmail account just a few days ago. All I did is reflash to a new Official, HTC, Microsoft windows mobile 6. I also flashed back to the version that worked and it still is not working... Maybe my account info is corrupt living on your particular server. How about just resetting my account, I bet it would start working again.
How about your customer service department live up to the enormous reputation that is Microsoft, and give me a call to help me work out this problem.
My number is.... XXX-XXX-XXXX

Hello JB,
Thank you for writing back to Windows Live Mobile Technical Support. My name is Joan. I understand that you are still having issues in synchronizing your Windows Live Hotmail account on HTC device.

We are currently looking into the reason why this is occurring, and our product team is engaging additional resources to locate and isolate the exact server that is causing the issue.
The details you included in your email will be very helpful to our investigation. I will be forwarding it to our product specialists for inclusion to the analysis of this case. They will be getting back to you once an update becomes available.
At this time, there is no definite timeframe for a resolution yet. However, we wanted to let you know that this is definitely our top-most priority. Thank you for your patience.

Ok... I am very frustrated that nothing has solved my issues with MY ACCOUNT.
Here are the answers to your questions. I'm hoping you can solve my issue.
- Did changing your display picture work?
No. I even changed it to a blank picture as well as a default pic.
- Were you able to sign in to the Windows Live application using a different email address? If yes, what email address did you use?
Yes I was. Like I said in my initial email, I can sign in and syncronize to my wifes hotmail account inbox no problem.
- Were you able to successfully clear cache and history of visited websites on your device?
Yes I was succesful doing that.
- Were you able to sign in using the WAP version of Windows Live Mobile?
Yes I was.
- What is the exact error message you are getting?
"Syncronization failed. Unable to syncronize inbox. Server did not respond."
- What specific HTC device are you using?
HTC Tytn. Same device as the cingular 8525. I have now tried 3 different roms.. 2 of which used to work with the windows live client before. Current rom is the latest from the HTC website.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I had a problem with live when I first went to WM6, a while ago now, that sounds similar to the problems being experienced here. My solution was to log into hotmail / live on a PC and update my passport account. I attributed this to maybe an old account.
Well... I gotta hand it to ya... I went into my setting page for my live account and changed my id and password for my live account and that fixed it... I find it pretty interesting that Microsoft had no idea, or they just didn't Giva F-ck.
Thanks...
JB

I had the same issue... It is known to M$. The solution I found was reinstalling WLM Live. If you do, make sure you uninstall it first thru active sync.

Unfortunatly that doesn't work for me, have tried 4 different versions and everytime the same problem.
If I Sign in with an other account the e-mail syncs correctly!
On my old Wizard it worked always, so it's very strange.

Exactly the same happened to me yesterday.
Try going to your windows live account from your computer. Then change your password and add or change your windows live ID. This worked for me and I had the same problems.

does anyone know how to configure windows mobile 6.0-6.1 to connect with my websites email?i have spent hours trying to find out. other than an exchange server is there a way?
You need to tell us what type of email, it is most likely a POP account, so grab the details from your providers and just add them in one at a time in the accounts panel on your device.
i am new to the 'website' stuff, so i am not sure. I just started it a couple weeks ago. in my outlook on my PC, under accounts, it says MAPI. Outlook on PC connected perfectly, but when i use outlook on hermes, it says i need to put in settings manually.
Okay what you need are basically the following details:
username
password
pop server name
smtp server name
The above details you need to setup a basic mail account however look at your PC outlook account connection and copy those exactly.

Hi James,
Thank you for contacting us at Microsoft Office Live Support regarding your Microsoft Office Live account.
My name is M. Srinivas and I have created the Service Request # 105892****, for this case.
I understand that you want to configure your Microsoft Office Live account on your Windows Mobile version 6, to send and receive emails and you need to incoming and outgoing server information. I comprehend your concern and realize how this is important for you.
I regret update you that with the current version of Microsoft Office Live we do not support synchronization of Microsoft Office Live account on Windows Mobile of any version. This concern is with our Product Development Team and they are working diligently on this.
Alternatively, you cannot synchronize your Microsoft Office Live account with the Windows Mobile, however, you may sign-in to your account and view your emails. Still, there is a condition, that the internet speed and the Windows Mobile settings should match the system requirements of Microsoft Office Live.

lol you dont need to pester M$ about this it sounds like they didnt understand the issue anyway.
First thing to do is to take a look at the settings under your account in outlook (on your PC).
As the post said above you need the username, password and the incoming/outgoing server addresses.
on your device go into messaging>menu>options>New Account....
fill in the details it requests and also how often you wish it to check for new mail. Its a pretty simple process dude
the problem is i dont know incoming/outgoing server. IT IS NOT IN MY SETTINGS. If i double click my account settings, it gives me the 'outlook connector'. the ONLY info under settings for this account is under 'type' it says 'MAPI'. there are NO other settings, no way to see incoming outgoing server addresses. This is a Microsoft hosted website, hence their reference of my "Microsoft Office Live account". so it connects with outlook connector. WHICH i cannot get for WM6. please if YOU don't understand the problem don't flame for me being ignorant.
hahahha......hahaha, way too funny.
anyway, i've never heard of this office live mail thingy, so i did a little looking around about it on google, interesting stuff. all i can suggest is to use windows live and try and see if you can sign in and sync ur email with that, cause i suspect that this office live thingy has to be somehow related to windows live.
Mate people are trying to help you not flame you. I can see this is frustrating you so what you need to do is get the details from your provider. Who are they? If you put your providers name down somebody might be up to the challenge to working this out for you OR maybe even have the same provider thus can assist you.
You just need to gather some information then people can make a better and informed decision about what you should do.
MICROSOFT is my PROVIDER......
hence the microsoft office live.....
I believe I have stated this more than once.
and I can log into my mail server using the internet, but I need it to update automatically. And I cant do that with outlook in WM6. It is a situation that would take someone 'in the know', maybe someone who has had this exact problem, and figured a way around it. If someone is smart enough to figure it out, that would be swell too. But most likely it will need to be someone who has faced this problem on their website, and figured a way around it.
To learn more about my 'provider' plz see http://www.officelive.com/
Let's get something clear, you have Microsoft Live account (Hotmail), and you want to make it download emails automatically? If that is the case go back to your Outlook and then go to setting to set the "Sync Option" it is on manual so set it to something you want.
Hi
I've no experience of Office live but there is a thread I have found that may be of use to you. Hope it helps.

I have a live Office Basics account with a web page and 3 e-mail adddresses and have not been able to get my phone's Live messenger to receive or send my e-mails. When Live Office first came out, You were able too send and recieve e-mails with your phone, but they changed servers and is a NoGo as of right now. I am 99% sure with Windows Mobile 7, they will integrate it.
ugh... figures
I know I'm years behind time but I've only just found out about Windows Live that enables you to get push email with your Hotmail account. However, my supplier (Orange in the UK) have removed the app from my phone and it seems that the download is no longer available. Can anyone point me in the direction of the download, or suggest any other (free) ways that I can get push email with Hotmail?
I just don't get it...
Microsoft has the next:
Windows
Windows Mobile
Hotmail
Windows Live Services
Windows Phone
My phone
MS Exchange
IE Mobile
and still.... you cannot power on your windows phone... do the magic... and have all your live/hotmail data on it.... i just don't get it...
i know... you cand have emails and contacts.... BUT what about the rest...
- no more than 50 emails at once... no option to download the hole message...
- the sent mail are not saved on the phone (with the settings done right)
- adding a contact on the phone will stay only on the phone... if you would like it on live contacts... you have to do it manually... on the stock rom this ended in a error... i don't know with newer versions... but still...
- no photo contacts
- NO CALENDAR sync
- no upload to live services from the album.... HOW's THAT MS?... you have youtube, facebook... but not your own service?...
- no acces to skydrive... you cand do it for photos... but with a too simple interface.... facebook has much better integration with photos...
- MS My phone does it all regarding to syncing.... and that's it... why not interacting with the live corespondents?...
and others that i cannot remember...
BUT....
GMAIL can do Exchange
Facebook can do photo share
Youtube can do video share
Opera works way better than IE
and now... WHY DO THEY CALL IT WINDOWS PHONE???? it should be ANYBODY'S PHONE
all the MS competitors have much better integration on a MS platform than MS themselves
So... is there a chance will get this in the future?
This seems a bit of a rant, but it also seems something that Microsoft are certainly addressing with Windows Phone 7.
One minor note about Exchange though, is that there are no devices that implement the full and complete set of Exchange Activesync tricks, apart from Windows Phone. It is the best experience, when on a WP, and you get stuff like SMS syncing.
