Hi.
I am trying to create a local DB to allow the XDA to act as a helpdesk call portable platform which needs to be synchronised to the Office server over GPRS (or possibly GSM if no coverage).
Data calls can be initiated in both directions as we have static IP addresses and are running IPsec connections to the office.
I'm not looking for someone to write the solution, but realistically I guess I'm looking for a robust two way database sync application and possibly underlying database. We've looked at XML and SQL CE and although they both work fine, the data merge/sync is problematic or useless.
Any thoughts / pointers gratefully received. And if you fancy developing the application, cash is on the table too!
Thanks in advance.
Can anyone help.
I use the ordinary pre-installed outlook program on my MDAIII. I have always been able tos end and receive pop email over wifi and I can receive email no probelms via gprs. However, when I send messages via gprs they come back as undeliverable. I don't think it used to happen all the time but I think it is doing now.
I have never changed the rom versions or done anything like that so I shouldn't have done it any serious damage.
Any help anyone?
Check if your e-mail acount provider needs password for outgoing emails. If so, probably writing your user name and password which you use to read your incoming mails to outgoing mails section will solve your problem.

Thats sounds logical - although wouldn't that affect me sending mail via wifi? it works fine via wifi - just not GPRS?
That's also logical. :wink:
If your mail account provider needs an SSL connection and specify the incoming and outgoing ports, your GPRS carrier may not support this kind of connection.
SOrry to be dim but I am not sure I am quite with you. I know that some of my emails have previously got through but have no idea why this has changed. DO you know how I need to check these settings as I am not sure about it at all.
thanks so much

The problem is some weard logic from the ISP's. You probably have an email account with the ISP that gets you your internet connections as well at home.
When using WiFi @ home you still send your email via your own ISP.
When you send email via GPRS, the email will be send via your GSM/GPRS provider of your sim-card which will be another telco/isp.
For some reason telco's/ISP won't allow you to send mail, using the smtp (outgoing mail) server of your own ISP. This is why it won't work via GPRS.
It very much depends on your telco company to get this working. I know the trick for vodafone in the Netherlands, but that won't help you I think. Most of the time some smart "googling" will help.

Although it was long winded andnot exactly easy I have solved this by the most logical method.
I have kept my settings the same for my 3 pop email accounts (same ISP) for wifi and set up one new one called gprs etc. for sending mail by gprs with the outgoing server as smtp.t-mobile.co.uk rather than that of my isp. Thanks very much for sending me in the right direction.
Warning to anyone else struggling with similar probelms - you need to keep the acounts seperate I think. have one for wifi and one for gprs as the outgoing servers are going to be different and the blasted machines can't cope with automatically switching.
thanks to all concerned.
Hi,
Im currently in the process of setting up Mail2web mainly for the purpose of having email "pushed" to me.
When its all up and running mail will be "pushed" to me automatically via GPRS obviously at a cost to myself for the data. What happens if i'm in range of a Wi-Fi connection, can the mail then be "pushed" via the Wi-Fi connection. If so, whats the process of switching between GPRS/Wi-Fi for the purpose of "pushed" mail from mail2web. Is it as simple as turning the GPRS off while in range of a Wi-Fi connection or will it default to Wi-Fi when in range.
I think this is a stupid question (but i'll ask it anyway). To get "push" mail working correctly I assume that both the device and email provider need to support it? I couldn't get my XDA to receive "push" from a any email provider...........sorry this is all new to me!!

Does anyone know if there's a way to make a phone call direct from an Outlook contact if the phone has an activesync connection thru USB or Bluetooth.
I use a bluetooth headset and it'd be neat to be able to dial direct from Outlook,
I just got a car that has bluetooth. When I went to sync my phone, it used the PBAP profile and tried to sync my address book.
The problem is that I have about 2,000 entries in my address book, and the car has a limit of 1,000 entries. And, it seemed to just do a random selection. I really only need a small number in my car, but the car seems to only have options to sync the address book from a phone and to delete it from the car.
So, is there any way, on the EVO, to limit which contacts will get synced over bluetooth? For example, is there any way that I can just create a group of "important" contacts, and limit the sync with my car to just those?
I probably only need to do the sync once (or rarely anyway).
Any ideas?
