[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] dumbquestion:
email 4 all on WM

GMail, Hotmail, Exchange, Newsgroups, and RSS all on the same Windows Mobile (WM5 and up) reader, with HTML, links, & attachments all working.

It is not a new reader- it’s qmail (qmail3) version 3.0.7. I am not an expert, and don’t have a clue as to all of the filter settings and crap that you can do with it, but I did figure out how to get all of the above working in ONE PROGRAM! Below are the workarounds and settings that I discovered.

I previously used Qusnetsoft reader for NNTP and RSS and Flexmail 4 for email. I was unhappy with the Flexmail viewer (no touch scrolling; scroll bar with stylus only) and email navigation from open mail to folders a bit of a pain. Qusnetsoft took too long to sync (nice interface though). I had used QMail3 before and liked it, but still use Hotmail and was bummed by MSN no longer supporting POP.

First… Download QMail (http://handheld.softpedia.com/get/Internet-Utilities/Email/QMAIL-8837.shtml) for WM.

Then, for each account, In QMail, <Menu<Tool<Account<Add Account

GMAIL

Name=Gmail (or whatever)

Class=mail

Incoming=POP3 (or IMAP, but I’ll cover POP3 settings)

Outgoing=SMTP Then tap “OK”

In General Tab…

Incoming=pop.gmail.com

Outgoing=smtp.gmail.com

Name=your name

Address=your email

Reply-To=your email

In User Tab…

Username=your Gmail Login Name

Password=your GMail Password

Check Authenticate

Username=your Gmail Login Name

Password=your GMail Password

In Details Tab…

Incoming mail Port=995

Secure=SSL

Outgoing mail Port=465

Secure=SSL

All other Settings are fine or adjust at your discretion.

HOTMAIL

First off, if you are not living in the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, France, Japan, Spain, Germany, Italy, or the Netherlands (Where MSN has made POP for hotmail available again) you’ll need to change your location in Windows Live or Hotmail to reflect that you now live in one of those places. The site I used for these settings is http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/...and-smtp-support-instantly-for-all-countries/ Once this is done, the Qmail settings are as follows…

Name=Hotmail (or whatever)

Class=mail

Incoming=POP3

Outgoing=SMTP Then tap “OK”

In General Tab…

Incoming=pop3.live.com

Outgoing=smtp.live.com

Name=your name

Address=your email

Reply-To=your email

In User Tab…

Username=your Hotmail Login Name

Password=your Hotmail Password

Check Authenticate

Username=your Hotmail Login Name

Password=your Hotmail Password

In Details Tab…

Incoming mail Port=995

Secure=SSL

Outgoing mail Port=25

Secure=SSL

All other Settings are fine or adjust at your discretion.

I use an HTC Kaiser (AT&T Tilt) w/cooked diamond rom 6.1 and I don’t have a data plan- I have WIFI at home @ work, so I needed something that could load everything onto my device for offline viewing when out-n-about. If you open a message then tap ok, then <Menu<Edit<Select All then tap-and-hold any off the messages, select <Mark<Mark Download, then do a Sync or Roundup again (you can find these by tapping and holding icons on the bottom toolbar) you can download full emails/news articles/etc. Hope this helps someone
