Don't mean to hi-jack the thread, but...

On a whim, I tried setting up push on my 8125 to work with my server here at work. (Tried in the past, but thought maybe something might be different now. It's not) LOL

I get:

The device timed out waiting for you to supply credentials.

Support Code: 0x8500200C

What does that mean?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] austindkelly:
yes it syncs your mail,contacts, calander, and tasks with the exchange server
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] austindkelly:
how should i know? i would try googling the error code/message sounds like your work server is not set up to support direct push or they might not have SSL or perhaps they are running an older version of exchange
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] austindkelly:
Answer to a question...

People keep asking if i can set up a reply-to address or email alias so it looks like thier email is coming from a different account. YES this is possible and lot of people are doing it. please just remember to include your email address that you want to have it send from when you are registering.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] FallN:
Hi, I have a coupleof questions:

1. Can direct Push Email on your Exchange server be pushed over WiFi? I've found using web2mail when I select "As Items Arrive" I am forced to use cellular data. Can Push work 100% over WiFi?

2. Do I have to have a data connection to have true push email even when I'm connected to my home wifi (or other wifi hotspot)?

3. Is this REAL TIME, immediate Push Email with DIRECT PUSH meaning I don't need to do anything or set my device to check every X minutes. The server will automatically push the email to me without any human intervention or need to schedule device to pull email from he server?

Thanks in advance for you help. :)

humm i have a domain called ttractive.net which i use for my email

on my pc ive set it up in outlook like this -

pop.ttractive.net

smtp.ttractive.net

username

password

etc and it works fine,

on my pocket pc i set it up exact same and with wireless on it still wont send or receive my emails on my wizard???

Whys this anyone tell me ?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] austindkelly:
1) the notification for direct push i think actually works via celluar signial regardless (gprs) but when connecting to the server you phone will pick the best connection. so if you get an email the server will notify your phone to download it via gprs, and then if you are on a wifi connection your phone should use that to download the messages to your device from the server using active sync. some of this might depend on the settings on your phone. but if you have the latest firmware you should be fine.

2) yeah, you do. how do you think you are going to get the email if there is no data connection, regardless of type of service? if you have a wizard with the latest firmware it will choose when to activate the GPRS data connection as it is needed, really no need to mess with that.

3)yep, thats what Direct Push means. when it hits the server it hits your inbox at the same time.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] austindkelly:
I think you should try another thread, i dont really know whats wrong with your phone, i just provide an alternate email service.

Robert writes to tell me about his experience with Mail2Web vs. Port88.org

Please be sure to write your review!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] FallN:
I sent an email about setting up the Exchange Account with Diret Push. Once you've set it up and I have everything configured on my PPC, I'll definitely leave feedback about the service.

Thanks! :)

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] austindkelly:
just so you know, i do get your emails guys. but i have a real job and so sometimes i dont respond right away. please be patient
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] FallN:
No problem. Just wanted to let you know I responded to your PM. Take your time. :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] FallN:
Thanks to Austin, I have my account set up and working. For those wondering, it took about 24 hours just like Austin said it would. He has a day job so give him some time and he'll come through for you too! Very smooth operation. No setup issues. :)

I've been playing with direct push and testing it and noticed something:

1. It takes more than 30 minutes for mail forwarded from gmail to show up in my port88 inbox (and then be pushed to my device). With web2mail forwarding from gmail was immediate. Is this normal for port88?

2. Calendar/Contacts/Tasks changes via OWA (port88.org) don't direct push to the device. The only way I've noticed it will update changes to my calander/tasks/contacts is when it's pushing email so the changes sit there, unsynced, until some email arrives in my port88 inbox. Does anyone know of a way to make the changes push immediately after making them?

3. Though I can sync wirelessly, when I cradle my device and connect through Active Sync on the desktop, I notice that it never syncs with port88/Exchange. It'll have a message saying "synchronzing folders" for a good couple of minutes then show an exclamation mark. When I click the exclamation mark it will display the following error message:

"The server could not be reached. This can be caused by temporary network conditions. Support code:80072ee4"

I know I'm directly connected to the internet. Heck, I'm typing and sending this very post from the same computer so my connection is fine... Any clues as to what the problem might be and how to fix it? Thanks in advance. :D

BTW, mail sent directly to my port88 email is pushed out immediately. Mail received directly through port88 is sent immediately. Lightning fast! Great job, Austin! :)

I just need to get the above kinks worked out and this will be the PERFECT service! Going to do a little more testing and write a full review. Possibly even donate to help keep Austin going. :D

Thanks again, Austin!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] greatsokol:
I have the same issue. And sometimes my mail forwarded from gmail or other servers doesn't reach port88.org at all.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] greatsokol:
mail.ru servers

Today, after a week of conversations with Mail.ru support, Mail.ru servers moved port88.org to their "white list" finally.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] austindkelly:
RE errors

1)I cant tell you why gmail takes so long to get to port88.org. My gmail account forwards immediatly. But I can't really do anything to speed up the forwarding process that gmail uses.

2)If you make a change in OWA, it is noting going to show up unless there is a sync. you could just click sync if it is that important, but there is nothing you can do to change this, as DirectPush is tech only designed for email.

3)when connected to your pc, if you are getting an error or something similar to the one above, it is because your device is trying to use your computer as a proxy to the internet to access the port88 servers. thats a your problem on your computer, it is not something that effects everyone, so check your settings, otherwise just dont plug it into your computer.

I dont see why you would need to plug it into your computer if everything is syncing wirelessly. Thats kinda the point of the service.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] austindkelly:
I also wanted to note and ask if anyone is having trouble recieveing mail, to please let me know. I have had to change alot of SPAM filters and settings as the community has grown, in an effort to keep SPAM levels low.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] austindkelly:

I have created a signup page for everyone to use, so that i can get the correct information the first time around!

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] fluxist:
No gmail problems for me

I've had no problem with gmail forwarding. I just sent a mail to my gmail account and 2 mins later it arrived on my device. Perhaps your problem is on the gmail end?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] austindkelly:
for most people it takes about 2 seconds to show up, and there are a few reports of it taking upto 30mins. I don't really have control on how gmail forwards thier mail. I can tell you that I have mine set to keep a copy in the gmail inbox and forward the mail to my port88.org account, and it works well for me.

I do wish I could get that working better but it looks like it is in googles hands.:rolleyes:
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] FallN:
Thanks as always for the replies Austin.

Yeah, I couldn't figure out why Gmail was taking so long to forward mail to port88 or whether port88 was taking a long time to post it to the inbox. I've also had mail forwarded from gmail never show up at all (like another poster said). Very strange...

BTW, I have my gmail forwarding set up just like your's: keep copy in gmail inbox & forward to port88.org email address.

I'll do some more testing today and report back my findings.

Thanks again for all your help Austin. :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] austindkelly:
well i can assure you that it has nothing to do with how mail "post" to your inbox. there is no holding area for mail or any kind of wait time. it gets to your device as fast as the data can be sent to it, and the same goes for any mail that is sent to you from any source. once the actual data hits my servers, it is in your mailbox as fast as the data can be shifted around (so thats like microseconds or something).

Question

Hi Austin,

Yesterday I requested a push mail account.

It's only 24 hours ago now but I'm waiting patiently (NOT) :D

I only hope you'll be able to send me the info today (your today, that is) because after tomorrow I will be on holiday and it would be nice if I could have everything configured and working before that time.

Thanks in advance,

Marcel
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] austindkelly:
23 hours

I do this as a hobby and with the new registration form i have had an influx of registration request. I am taking the premium users request first and then everyone else is first come first serve. you are on the top of the list i should get around to creating your account this afternoon.

sorry for the wait.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Marcel Bruinsma:
Thanks Austin,

I'll might be a Premium Member soon I hope. First see if all works fine on my HP iPAQ hw6915.

By the way, can you tell me (or direct me to a site where they can tell me) how this push mechanism works?

Does your system send my PPC an SMS which triggers ActiveSync or so?

Thanks,

Marcel
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] austindkelly:
DIRECT PUSH EXPLAINED

This is a great question, and you are partially right about the SMS.

It used to be that your phone would get an SMS that would "wake-up" your phone and tell it to sync. But now with DirectPush email, that has eliminated the wake-up call (or SMS) by sending an OTA transmission to your device though your GPRS (or "Always On") data connection.

More specifically, when you turn your phone on and it registers with your sevice provider, it gets an IP address, just like any computer on a network. Then ActiveSync sends a "Hello" message to your exchange account server (in this case port88.org). The server then records your latest IP address or location on the GPRS network. Then when you reviece an email on the server it sends an Over The Air message using the http protocall to your phone telling it to retrieve the message from the server.

This cuts back on the cost of SMS, connection delays, and the ammount of time it takes your device to recieve data.

So in short, no it does not use SMS (anymore), it uses the already established data connection your device has with your service provider to transfer all the data instantly.

NOTE: If you do not have the latest version and/or DirectPush on your device, you will be using the old SMS method of retrieving email.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Marcel Bruinsma:
Hi Austin,

Thanks for the information.

I hope the DirectPush works for my 6915.

I'll post again when everything works (or not).

Marcel
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] austindkelly:
I have been asked by a few users if they can access the exchange server via thier desktop client.

No

But, I have been working on a solution for some time for this. Recently I have been working to set up RCP over HTTP so people can access thier account via the outlook desktop client and sync everything there as well.

Anyone that has experience setting up RCP over HTTP on the server side, please contact me, it is by far one of the craziest things i have ever dealt with, and is giving me uber trouble trying to set it up, and any advice would be welcome.

Thanks.

Hotmail and msn accounts

Can hotmail and msn accounts work on mail2web? and can they work on ur server austin?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] austindkelly:
This is a maybe for me. The way people have been going about this, has been that they are having thier email forwarded to thier new account that i create, and then i setup and alias so when they send out an email it shows the email address they are forwarding. i do not know if you can forward email from hotmail/msn but if you can, then the answer is yes.

GENERAL RULE: If you can forward email from your current email address, I can encorporate that same account into my DirectPush email systems.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] austindkelly:
sure thing, i would be happy to do this for you, however you are not the only person that signed up today, so you will need to provide me with more information, like, what is your username? then i will be able to make the change.

This goes for everyone, please when posting here or pming or emailing me you include specific information about who you are (username) and if you are getting an error, tell me what it says.

I don't know about anyone else but I have a problem with my phone. The Active Sync is not automatically syncing anymore. I would have to do it manually and then I would receive the Emails. Sometimes it will sync automatically but there would be a huge delay before I actually get my email.

Well I think that's my problem I have to fix... this phone has great features but not the most stable phone I have ever had. x01ht

SSL question, I tried set it up but I couldn't get it to work, it would just be stuck at the sync screen. The phone is trying to sync but that's about it. Anyone can help me out with that?

I will be not using the SSL until I can figure this out.

Hey Austin,

I am usually on WiFi at home and work. Even in the mall i am usually on WiFi. I dont think I will be needing an Exchange mail account right? I mean I can send/recieve, direct push and all that just on wifi and outlook works fine. I dont really understand the purpose of setting up a Exchange mail account while you are always on wifi and can automatically sync using remote access or i usually carry my laptop which i can use to sync a couple times.
