Messenger

Hy i just installed WM6 for Hermes LVSW Edition (2007-03-13)
(WM6 Pro Style)
This version works great on my hermes.
But there is no Msn Messenger in this version, is it possible to download it somewhere??
But my biggest problem is that i cant set a hotmail account in outlook (on my phone), and he doesnt sync the hotmail account set in outlook on my pc.
Has anyone a answer to this?
Thanx

yer ive noticed this, if anyone could point us in the right direction would be appriciated.
Thanks

WM6 uses Window Live but its in beta so you'll have to find the .cab
I think there may be a .cab for MSN also but not sure..

You'll find Live Messenger under the "Optional Apps" Extras.

Sync contacts & calendar w/Thunderbird Windows & Linux

I thought I'd share this since I haven't seen any posts here regarding the Funambol plugin. I run it on my 8525 and Motorola Q. On the desktop, I run Slackware 12 Linux with Thunderbird/Lightning for my Email/Calendar client. I also run my own Funambol server. With this setup, I can sync anywhere wirelessly and not have to rely on any third party servers. If I flash a new rom, I just install the Funambol plugin on my phone, setup the URL to my server and hit Sync and I've got all my contacts & calendar entries back.
I've tested the Funambol plugin with Thunderbird/Lightning on WinXP and it works just as well. You can use public SyncML servers as well from what I've read.

Can contact pictures and Notes be synced?

The notes sync fine, the picture doesn't. I only have one picture so far (my wife) and Thunderbird's address book doesn't seem to support a picture. When I reload my rom next time ill note if the pictures sync back. edit: Nope, no pics.
Theres an Outlook plugin as well for folks that prefer Microsoft byproducts {{shiver}}

Funambol Rocks
For anyone out there that has a Scalix Groupware server and wants to sync to WinMo (via Funambol) I started an open source connector that syncs contacts and calendar items.

Anywhere for Windows live messenger

Hello,
Is there anywhere I can download Windows Live messenger for mobile I have searched on google but I couldn't find anything the reason I want this is because that my current Windows messenger wants me to sync contacts to my address book but when I select do not sync contacts it still asks me when I go to sign in so I was hoping that installing a new messenger may change this.
Thanks

i use this one

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.
