What's the best way to update an apk (not from play). Remove old version first and install newer OR just install newer version on top of older version ?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gunthermic:
Depends on how it was install to begin with sir.

1. If not through the PlayStore and is a modded apk, and new one is from the same person, yes install onto most likely.

2. If replacing a Stock app with one created by another, then most likely un-install previous version, unless dev states doesn't need to be.

The problem is this is a very generic question and not enough info.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yachats:
I think that helps. It is a newer version of same app/author so over top is ok. That's easy. Thanks
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] geoffreycross:
Hi,

I'm rather excited to announce the very early stage alpha release of my push-email client which has been an ongoing fun project of mine ever since I dumped my Blackberry for an i-mate Jam (actually I went via a Treo with Chatter which was almost as good as the Blackberry).

What I have implemented is a IMAP transport which supports the IDLE extension. Therefore if you mail server provides IMAP access (many do) you can probably have push-email on your Pocket PC without running exchange and without any intermediaries. And obviously as this is IMAP, all new email and changes are synchronized both directions on your desktop and your PDA. This is only a 'transport' and so you will still use Outlook (or any other MAPI client) as your user-interface.

Now a few comments:

The code is in a pretty early stage, but I have personally been running it for a while now without any problems. I know of a few bugs, and will put up a bug-tracker sometime over the next couple of days; in the meantime, please post here for help and bug reports.

I have tested the IMAP implementation against a few different servers, but there might be some issues. Please post here if you have problems and I'll provide you with a debug version which will allow you to help me diagnose the problem.

A few of the main limitations of the current release: 1) only incoming email (sending is now my top priority for the next release); 2) only one mailbox (and it must be your INBOX) can be synchronized; 3) no attachments at the moment.

Battery life of your PDA will obviously be limited, as a socket connection is kept open. However, I have personally found there to be very little difference under normal usage.

Clearly you need to have a 'data plan' from your provider, and under normal usage the IMAP client will be transmitting data on a regular basis. So if you pay per MB, this is going to cost you. I have been careful to keep this to an absolute minimum, but it will obviously depend on how much email you receive. In 'idle' mode (i.e. with no incoming or outgoing email), the traffic will be less 0.5kB per hour.

There is no particular reason why this shouldn't run on other Pocket PCs. However as I have only tested it on my i-mate Jam, I'll have to leave that up to the patient and brave for the moment (if you do try and have problems, please post or email me, as I'm hoping to provide support for as many phones as possible including Smartphones).

I will eventually support WM5. Why bother as there is already push-email provided with WM5? Because this way you don't have to have an Exchange email server!

So enough from me. If you're still willing to give this ago, I'd very much appreciate your feedback. I've put the downloads and some brief installation instructions here:

http://www.vgsmail.com/ppc/

Hope this works for you!

Geoff.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Pyrofer:
Hi, the 512bytes an hour sounds good, but some providers 'round up' the data, im not sure what rules they follow, and by how much or how often. But you may find that it ends up being 100k an hour because of this rounding.

Does anybody know how to find out the rounding rules for networks in the UK such as Orange and O2 ?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] geoffreycross:
FWIW, T-mobile UK don't round and simply compute the 'total' over a full month.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] bruins3:
I'm verry glad I live in The Netherlands. T-mobile NL has a flat rate plan for GPRS/WIFI/UMTS only €9,50 without limitations, even no fair use. As much data as you want. The only limitation is the max. bandwith for UMTS (64KB). Doesn't matter since the MDA has no UMTS.

Hi geoffreycross,

This could be what I'm waiting for. But i cannot get it to work properly. First installed it to storage following your steps and got an error that it couldn't get a socket. After soft-reset I got the error that it couldn't open MAPI interface. Reinstalled it to main, recreated the mailaccount in different orders nothing changed. Errorlog is greyed out, so please send some debug code.

I'm on flatfee TMO, so the data costs or no problem.

Looking forward to your answer,

M
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] geoffreycross:
oltp:

I have PM-ed you with a debug version. I forget my email address on the original post. If you have bugs, you will get the fastest turnaround if you email them to ppcbugs@vgsmail.com

The transport can definitely not be installed onto a storage card and I would recommend trying. I'm not sure about the client executable, but I doubt it (and it's pretty small anyway!). I am surprised it worked at all. However the problem does not sound like it is related to the storage card. I'll give a full diagnosis when I see the debug trace.

Geoff.

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] k_kirk:
Geoff, this looks great! Thanks for your efforts! Question I have is how this solution differs from the existing functionality in the built-in mail client to connect and get mail every x minutes? My understanding is that this is still a pull solution driven by the pocketpc keeping an open socket and querrying the IMAP server on a regular intervals. Am I missing the obvious here? Regards & Thanks

I've got a problem with WebIS Mail 2

I can't choose vgsmail (choice is between POP3 and IMAP) there :

Is there a way to make it possible ?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] geoffreycross:
There is an extension to IMAP called IMAP IDLE which I am using. In this mode, you keep the socket open but you don't need to actually do any polling as the server pushes messages down the socket as soon as they arrive. So when a message arrives you will generally receive it within seconds, and when no message arrives there is no data being sent in either direction (with the exception of a keep-alive message very 30 minutes or so). This is exactly how Blackberry and push-email with WM5 works (although they use their own proprietary protocols which require you to use their servers).
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] geoffreycross:
DocteurN:

I have just tried out WebIS2, and it seems that they don't use the standard 'MAPI' interface for email (this is slightly surprising and disappointing as the API is designed to be available to 3rd parties). Therefore my transport won't work currently with WebIS. I'm going to have a look and see if I can reverse engineer their storage format and if I can I will be able to support WebIS. In the meantime, I'm afraid you will have to use the built-in Pocket Outlook.

Geoff.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] geoffreycross:
FOSA:

Unfortunately gmail and Yahoo both provide POP but no IMAP which means that you're back to polling on a regular schedule (and that is not 'push-email' really). There are a number of groups trying to pressure Google and Yahoo to implement IMAP support (apparently it is the most requested feature of gmail).

In the meantime, have you considered using a mail provider like www.fastmail.fm which would pull email from the various servers and provide IMAP access to them all?

Geoff.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] BaldBoy:
Isn't this how Seven (Smartner) works?

http://alwaysonmail.com/
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] geoffreycross:
Yes and no.

Seven does use IMAP, but the connection is made via an intermediary server owned by Seven and your PPC will then connect to the Seven server using a unspecified protocol. Therefore you need to give them your userid and password. The code I have written connects directly to your own mail server and cuts out the 'middle man'. To be honest, I have no idea why Seven implemented it this way (other than to allow them to charge a yearly subscription).
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] herman3101:
Suggestion

Using the software, so far seems excellent but I've noticed two things so far:

- The setting to only pull messages within X days doesn't seem to work, it's downloading all the messages

- When you connect to the server after losing GPRS connection for a while, when it reconnects it displays new email message despite them not being new. Would you be able to limit the new email message to unread emails only?

Cheers for this excellent application, your effort is much appreciated
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] geoffreycross:
herman3101:

1) Yes, there are a number of settings which are currently ignored. The size limit of the initial download is also ignored. I have these on the bug-fixes list. The date limit on the downloads is slightly more complicated as the synchronizing is now constantly happening and so it might appear a bit strange if your messages suddenly disappear as their age 'expires'. I will think about that one.

2) Yes, the 'new email' notifications are a bit screwy. I will fix that asap.

Hi all,

Just to let you know that I am currently away on holiday (sunny Cape Town) which explains why I haven't been responding to many emails and posts here.

However development hasn't stopped on this and I've done quite a bit of work over the last few days. I'll probably aim to make a release once a week or so when I get a stable version for the next 3 weeks.

No valid profiles found

Dear Geoffreycross,

I'm new in this forum, and also new in Windows Mobile 5 world.

I need a IMAP-Idle client and I found your solution a good fit of what I'm looking for.

After following your instructions, I succed to install both CAB, setup, the account... but after installing the vgsmail and starting it... it displays a messages telling:

"vgsmail error manager: No valid profiles found".

Do you know what I can be done wrong ?

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] oltp:
Geoffrey,

Small, but rather important, question from a fastmail.fm user. This weekend I got a mail from fastmail.fm stating that my mailprogram is logging on with wrong credentials:

"Currently, when you use our server for sending or receiving mail, your

email software is logging in using the name "xxxxxxxxx@".

However, our server requires that you use the name "xxxxxxxxx@fastmail.fm"."

So I changed the username in the registry & it seems everything is ok.

Question is wether you want to keep the logging on mechanisme this way. Apperently it's not completely standard. I know that you do it to support different incoming-/outgoing mailservers. Give it a thought pls.

Regards, M
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Izzard-UK:
That's a good point actually. Until now, Fastmail has allowed us to log on with just the username but, because they are splitting their domains, you have to use the full e-mail address to log in.

vgsmail currently requires that the username and password are the same for both incoming and outgoing mail. This is not a problem for those with paid Fastmail accounts, as they can use Fastmail's SMTP server for outgoing mail, and still use the same login.

However, I use a free Fastmail account (IMAP only, no SMTP) so I use Google's SMTP server for outgoing. Conveniently, my Fastmail account name and password are the same as my Gmail ones, so this works out fine (for now).
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] cseilern:
i second all these requests for the ability to use different credentials and servers. i'm currently using 1&1.com for imap, but their smtp sucks and I would lve to be able to use another one.

Installing VGSMail on a Wallaby (I know, "r u nuts?!&qu

I have a Wallaby which I've stuck with for far too long. It has WM2003SE and for the most part works ok. After installing VGSMail (which BTW is a great program) I have some SERIOUS issues. I know that this is a Magician forum, so I apologize for jumping in (after reading all of the WM2005 threads though I don't feel quite as bad as I normally would :wink: )

1) the majority of the time I try to turn my Wallaby on, it hangs halfway between the splash screen (OzUp) and showing the VGS control panel for about 5 minutes, then comes on for about 10 seconds, and then shuts down altogether.

2) when I am able to keep it up running through various means of tricking it into trying to sync or otherwise distracting VGS (1 in about 6 times), it works great (although despite changing my settings, it still won't download the whole email), but often drops the connection and then won't connect again.

3) as time progresses, VGS eats away at my memory (what little I have left), eventually giving me the Critical Memory error. I can have abosutely nothing running besides VGS and I will eventually lose all of it.

Ok, so the obvious answer is get a newer PPC. I actually had the XDA 2i for a day, but it kept crashing on me and I sold it to a colleague. I have been waiting for the 'next best thing" or at least have a US GSM provider offer one at a discount with a contract committment, and have been intrigued by the Atom and Wizard. Unfortunately, neither has the 128 mb/128 mb ram rom config I want.

So here are my questions: (1) is there anything I can do to the Wallaby to actually make it work with VGS?; and (2) when I do purchase a new machine, any recommendations?

Any help is appreciated and offers to sell phones are as well! :)

vgsmail on Windows Mobile 5

I am getting a lot of private messages from users asking me how I got vgsmail to work on my Windows Mobile 5 device.

Unfortunately I don't know (yet) what the magic combination of moves is, as I haven't done a hard-reset and tried to set it up from scratch.

However, here is my best guess for getting it working. I'd be interested to see if the following works for anyone else.

1) Get the Windows Mobile 5 version of the vgs transport, attached to a reply by the author earlier in this thread.

2) Follow my instructions here.

You might well still find it doesn't work, and that you get "no valid profiles found". If so, try adding the following keys (StringValues):

HKCU/Software/VGS/Profiles/Email/Username= <your mail username>

HKCU/Software/VGS/Profiles/Email/Password = <your mail password>

My current theory is that everything works fine except that these values are not getting stored in the registry when you set up the account and that's why you can't edit the profile in Messaging, you can't see the mail account and you can't run vgsmail control.

I THINK if you have all four keys in place in the registry (IncomingServer/OutgoingServer/Username/Password) then it will work.

The only other information I know is that, when it IS working, you will also get a "vgsmail" key in the registry, under /Software/VGS/ (i.e. at the same level as "Profiles".

This is all I know for now. Really we need the author to reappear ;)
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] geoffreycross:
Hi,

Sorry again for the silence. I'm still in South Africa (sunny, warm and off to the beach shortly in case you cared).

The WM5 transport is no different from the most current transport you can get from the website. So use that one.

As far as I can tell (and I still don't have a WM5 device, but I am expecting to find one waiting on my return) the only problem is that under WM5 the transport is not correctly creating the registry entries. And so Izzard is completely correct and all you should need to do is edit the registry to put in the entries

HKCU/Software/VGS/Profiles/XXX/Username

HKCU/Software/VGS/Profiles/XXX/Password

HKCU/Software/VGS/Profiles/XXX/IncomingServer

HKCU/Software/VGS/Profiles/XXX/OutgoingServer

where XXX is the name of the profile you have created in pocket outlook.

Please don't hound Izzard... I promise to support WM5 as soon as I get my new phone.

That's great to hear! (Apart from the bit about going to the beach - that's just depressing when I look out of the window here.)

I believe he's getting an O2 XDA Atom.

By the way - 2 days running the current version and it's working great!

Actually, I'm not sure if the GPRS Dial setting is honoured but it's definitely staying stable if I have a current GPRS/WiFi connection established.

Also, the notifications say the e-mail is from an unknown sender but this might be a known 'feature' (I guess it's not reading the full header). Just letting you know.

Got the same issue about the 'unknown sender', in the previous release this was working fine. I think it can wait till you're back in the UK, no need to hurry. Rest is working good, maybe the prio is still a bit high as my magician sometimes becomes a bit slow especially the camera.

So enjoy the beach :-(

Samsung i730

Anyone else here using a Samsung i730 who has tried VGS mail? I'm currently using autd, but would prefer something like Geoff is creating (was an avid Chattermail user back in the day on the Treo). However, whenever I run VGS on the i730, the damn device refuses to wake up from sleep, requiring a soft reset. I've been in communications with Geoff about this, but while waiting for him to return from holiday, I was kind of hoping that someone here might have an idea as to why this might be occurring (BTW, I'm not the only i730 user having this problem with VGS mail).
