basically it's a Brazilian ISP, founded in January, 2000, and one of their broadband pioneers...

at least it's free and it works :p , thanks to the OP for posting!

One question to you guys:

Are you running the Windows 7 RC??? Or just Vista? Because I think these issues might be related to Windows 7. Thanks.

hi.. i have the this problem on my ppc with WM6.5... "the security certificate on the server is not valid. contact your exchange server administrator or ISP to install a valid certificate on the server."

I'm sorry guys i dont understand this.. help me please
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ace10134:
Oh that happened to me too. Go to the exchange settings (on your phone) and then make sure to uncheck the secure SSL server box thing. Then finish the settings and click sync. It will ask you if you want to be secure or whatever, and say yes.

Those are general instructions, but you should be able to figure it out. That's what worked for me.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lezink:
Nope. I had it working on Windows 7 RC but I had to reinstall VISTA because of The journal Windows not opening and all my Work notes Taken with it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ace10134:
Well I had it working with Windows 7 but then it stopped working randomly. It said the exchange server was "Disconnected". I tried a bunch of things and nothing worked. This was on Outlook SP1

Now I re-installed Outlook and am on Outlook SP2. It gives me this error when trying to open:

Cannot start Microsoft Office Outlook. Cannot open the Outlook window. The set of folders cannot be opened. You must connect to Microsoft Exchange with the current profile before you can syncronize your folders with your offline folder file.​

Any ideas? I've been trying at this for hours now.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lezink:
I dont know. Did You try the fake address book trick or googleing your problem ?

You Can also e-mail thé ALOL support. They Werehelpful for me;maybe they'll be for you too

Good luck
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nhuda:
Have you tried it? Can you post your opinion if you have tried it.

Regards,
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mr.vandalay:
it's still kind of a beta service... sometimes it stops syncing and just doesn't work (SSL problems - don't know what exactly ), buut it's a great idea.

you can register and than you get a email to join their google group where you can post your problems/questions.

http://groups.google.com/group/massaint-dpush

anyway it's one more solution to push your google mail to your phone, you can't sync your contacts and calendar.

it's still beta as all the other services out there :)

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lezink:
WM7 ok - need help on other "problem"

Now, I am back on WM7 as i found a way to have the journal working !

(and i must say that's good news for tablet users as the handwriting recognition is far far better in wm7 than in vista, and the GUI is more stylus friendly than vista too).

For now, that's to say since yesterday afternoon, I had no problem syncing my tablet (WM7) with alol exchange service, either from 3G+ (blackstone as modem) or from home (ADSL). It just works everytime and realtime (I added an appointment from blackstone, and it was automatically and immediately sync'd on tablet and on home desktop as well).

I received several mails too this morning on blackstone and on tablet in the mean time.

The only drawback, that is not intended to WM7 but to outlook (or the way i managed to configure it, to say it all), is that I have no access to my PIM datas (on tablet which is not always connected) when exchange is disconnected (that's to say = when there is no internet connection). IF SOMEONE COULD HELP, THAT WOULD BE GREAT ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dannyedilber:
Thanks a lot!! it's working now.... the only thing I hope its's than stays free this service.. it's great for my ppc
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Leandro Sozio:
Try to use without ssl connection. Or enter in https://win.alol.net.br and get the certficate file and copy to your phone and run the certificate file .cer.

Both options work to me, I am using now with certificate. Its work great! :D

I put the certificate in a zip file and uploaded for you! :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ace10134:
He already got it working by disabling the SSL connection a week ago or so.

And I would use the certificate that you posted (thanks for finding that, by the way), but with the frequency that I flash new ROM's, it's just not worth re-installing it every time. I bet others will find it helpful though!

Oh and could the original poster of this thread update the thread so that it includes the cercificate file that Leandro just posted? Thanks!

direct push questions

Hello all, i'm noob in direct push techology. I really wanna try alol service, it looks like very good service, especially with 1GB storage and 100MB attachement. I have few questions before i'm using this service:

1. How does alol service and wm6.1 syncronizations work?

2. How can I receive pushmail in my XDA2, is there any "howto"?

3. Should I use Office 2007? or maybe there is an update for my outlook2003 for using alol pushmail service?

4. howto bring my yahoomail, gmail and hotmail using Alol service?

Right now I'm using office 2003 on WinXPSP3 and wm6.1 on xda2.

I hope you can answer my questions.

Thank you guys:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ace10134:
It works through an Exchange server, which is what large companies use to send and recieve emails. Basically, it's just like your gmail but it supports syncronization of your E-Mail, Contacts, Calendar, and Tasks, all over the air without plugging in your phone. And it's all synced real-time which means any changes made on one device are "pushed" to the other device, instantly.

Any Windows Mobile phone can recieve push e-mail via an Exchange server, so yes, your phone will work with it. When you sign up, they send you the settings that you have to enter. All you gotta do on your phone (after you sign up for the account) is go to Start -> Programs -> ActiveSync, and set up a new server under the Menu option. Follow the set-up there, and use the settings that they e-mailed to you. Make sure to uncheck the "Secure SSL Connection" box while setting it up, and then when you first try syncing, it will say that it needs to enforce security measures, say OK. Oh, and you need a data plan or internet access of course :)

Outlook 2003 should work fine. It should install any necessary updates if there are any needed ones. If it doesn't work properly, just ask us.

Well, you can set up your yahoo, gmail, and hotmail accounts to Foward mail to your @alol.net.br account. Then you will recieve the messages on your devices, but you can't reply to them from your yahoo account. All replies will be sent via your @alol account. If you need some help on how to get your mail forwarded, just ask us again.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Navigare:
Guyz,

Thaks so much for sharing info about this free exchange host. I have synced my winmo 6.1 with it and with help from this thread it works great.

I have only problem with connecting my desktop outlook 2007 to Ex 2007. I did anything described here by lezink:

-------------------------------------------------------

3. In the config panel, find the mail icon ('courrier' on my french vista), in order to configure your exchange account as follows :

(3.0. choose the option to configure exchange account)

3.1. disable automatic config

3.2. server address = win.alol.net.br

3.3. disabled using cache

3.4. enter your user name (what is before the "@alol.net.br")

3.5. check name (now that SP2 is installed, you should get the server renamed to WIN.alol.net.br and underlined, and your name change to whatever you filled for 1st and last name, then underlined as well)

3.6. leave all the other (advanced) options as is, if it doesn't work then the problem comes from elsewhere, yu can beleive, i tried nearly any possible combination of these options

3.7. finish the exchange mail configurator and launch outlook (while connected to the internet)

-----------------------------------------------------------

But I stop in 3.5 when I click check name - I have error - Cannot complete action. Cannot combine name with names on address list.

I have Outlook 2007 with sp2 and also I have installed hotfix provided here - I spent few hours giving endless combinations of name (with @alol.net.br and without) - but it just doesn't work.

I can log in to OWA and it syncs with my winmo6.1 - any ideas how to get it to work with xp and outlook 2007
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lezink:
As you applied the hotfix and (i assume) you are connected to Internet, did you try to disable your firewall, just to see if it is faulty.

Otherwise, try to start from scratch with a new outlook profile (in config panel > mail)

Other than that, I don't really know, but now that Leandro is active on the thread, maybe he will be able to help you.

To leandro > thanx again for helping when i was in trouble with outlook'07
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Navigare:
lezink,

thanks for prompt reply - now I spent another few hours with no result - of course I tried disable firewall, av - I have also tried to connect from another comp in my home with same result - this is exact error I recieve:

The action could not be completed. The name could not be matched to a name in the address list.

I read that it may be smth with permissions do Address Book so I gave full access - but again - not success.

I really need help...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lezink:
did u try to create a fake address book in outlook ?

send a mail to alol (via OWA) maybe they can help :it seems that you are not recognized.

you got the login form ?? if not you could try to force ssl in adv.settings
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ace10134:
EDIT: Exchange server is back UP!

Is anyone else's Exchange not connecting? Mine doesn't work on my PC or on my phone. Seems like they must be working on it right now.

Their website (http://www.alol.net.br/) is down too. This sucks. Hope they get it fixed soon.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] miguelfp1:
I can confirm that it's not working for me either, from my computer or my mobile phone.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ace10134:
EDIT: Exchange server is back UP!

But, maybe this has something to do with it: http://www.neowin.net/news/main/09/06/08/100000-websites-destroyed-by-hackers

100,000 websites were destroyed by hackers. Hopefully it's just a coincidence.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ace10134:
Exchange server is back UP!

Yay, my mail is coming in! Looks like we didn't loose any e-mails. Seems like it was just a short outage.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Navigare:
Yes I have login form, I have also tried to create fake address book, but I don't know if Iam following your precedure (I tried to rename and add some addresses in general adress book which ends .wab and also tried to add some fake book as import to outlook - how exactly you did this step).

I am bit tired of this and, I wrote to Alol support and waiting for answer also - anyone have any ideas?

No one didn't face same difficulitu with "name could not be matched to a name in the address list"?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Navigare:
Did you use following address to contact alol suppor - I could not find anything in owa (this address is from contact on their website).

atendimento AT alol.com.br
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lezink:
address book : i created a fake 'mobile phone' book

for contact mail i used monitoralol@alol.net.br

(found at bottom of activation message)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Navigare:
They just contacted me - it was issue on their side (propably I was hidden in GAL) - now it works like charm! Thanks for suggestions!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Navigare:
I think their server is down again. OWA doesn't work either.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ace10134:
EDIT: Exchange server is back UP!

EDIT: Well that was a very short outage, since it went back up the second I posted the message! Yay!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Navigare:
I can confirm it was short malfunction. I have another question regarding Exchange - I don't know how much you take care about your data, but I use Outlook from years I need all my email, taks, calendars etc in one piece.

Here we have this issue with ost file instead of normal pst. From what I searched it should be exact copy of outlook data (same like this on Exchange) storaged locally at out pc hard disc.

In fact it isn't - ost work as long as you are connected to Exchange, if they go down for good, or make some changes in their policy (monthly fee etc) we can lost all our data. This is MS policy for preventing data fraud (ex employee fired from work wants backup all company email and so on). It is not possible to change default location of data from Exchange to local pst cos this option is greyed out (server admin issue) and ost>pst converters are expensive and do not work always.

I have managed to solve issue with mail by creating rule that moves all send and incoming mails to specific, pst based folder - but I don't know how can I do this with contacts, calendars, tasks etc.

Anyone has same data security concerns? Is it possible to make rules for every created data, task entry to move it auto to pst based folder (copy), or anyone tried to get his data in pst file instead of alol exchange?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lezink:
It comes nearly to the problem i mentionned in an early post : how to have my pim data available when not connected to exchange ? for instance, a copy (pst) of the ost data hosted on exchange server. I have no clue about that for now, unfortunately.

Concerning the specific case of not losing data in case of month fee or unavailability of server, couldn't it be possible to make a backup of the whole pim data, say every week, for example ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ace10134:
Dude, ALOL doesn't work with my new Palm Pre :confused: It's cuz of the security certificate issue. I tried putting the certificate on the phone, but it won't recognize it. Dude this really sucks. Well I guess I'll be returning the Pre, unless you guys have any ideas?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Kirbysuperstar:
Can't register at the moment, "insufficient system resources".
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bliblablub:
really nice service.

I'm using it for some weeks now. Firstly outlook 2007 didn't work, but somehow it works now :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lezink:
try to uncheck the ssl option
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ace10134:
yeaaa the Pre is too advanced to have an option to not use SSL, lol. The Pre sucks, It doesn't even have a file explorer!

Oh and I even have the certificate installed, but that doesn't do a thing, for some reason.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Navigare:
Did you know that they plan to stay with this service for free (holding it only from donations) - I just recieved email from their support.

Do you have also "Use above settings when roaming" in Schedule>Activesync unticked and greyed out?

I made some search and it looks that this option set by Exchange 2007 server admin and it's not possible to change it? Anyone had issue with this?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] R3PUBL1K:
A great service from...

4smartphone.com

have beenn using these for some time, the service is great but not free.

14 day free trial available
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Solidus_k:
Thanks for share, this service is great, but is there any way to foward my free hotmail account to this server?

Thanks for the advise.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ace10134:
Yes, go to your hotmail account online, go to Options, and then More Options, and there's an E-Mail fowarding option.

Fowarding Instructions

Go to mail.live.com

Sign in

Click Options

Click More options

Click Foward mail to another e-mail account

Choose the Foward your mail to another e-mail account option

Type in your @alol.net.br account in the text box

Click Save

Close out of the window, and your mail will be forwarded!

You can choose an option to keep copies of the forwarded messages in your hotmail account, I would choose that option

Enjoy!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Solidus_k:
Thanks for your answer but still showing this: You're only able to forward mail to a custom domain or an e-mail address that ends in hotmail.com, msn.com, or live.com. Please try again.

Also I tried to use this trick http://www.howtoforge.com/forwarding-hotmail-to-any-other-email-account but didnt work.

Thanks again.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ace10134:
ohhh yea hotmail or live accounts won't forward to our domain for some reason. @msn accounts forward just fine though. idk, i guess it won't forward ever. That sucks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jjm34:
Yeah, this option (and many others) can be disabled by the security policy set up on the Exchange server, and this is the case here.

Kinda sucks when the phone sets the roaming status even when registered in the home network though (like in my case) :(

Also, I'm shocked by how often it's mentioned in this thread to go without SSL instead of getting the certificate to work.

You do realize that this way your password will be sent unencrypted, right?

You never know who's listening in on the traffic going over open wifi networks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lezink:
Yeah, you're absolutely true, but I myself never use open and unsecured wifi networks. I'm always connected through 3G+ (unlimited, or nearly).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JohnQ:
hey, i also tried this, but there is no Mobile alerts for new messages option in my windows live mail account.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mr.vandalay:
if you get the following message:"the security certificate on the server is not valid. contact your exchange server administrator or ISP to install a valid certificate on the server."

Copy the certficate file (from first post) to your phone and run the certificate file .cer.

certificate attached in first post.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ace10134:
When you go in without SSL, it comes up with a message that requires you to accept some security policies, so there is security that you don't know about.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jjm34:
Oh no, not at all. These are security policies that contain settings for your device, like whether a device lock password or storage card encryption is required, whether it's allowed to access the device camera, Wi-Fi, storage card, stuff like that. In this case, the security policy disables the ability to automatically sync when roaming.

These settings are configured by the Exchange server administrator in order to protect corporate information; they do not add encryption to the Exchange ActiveSync protocol, and they will be applied whether you are using SSL or not.

Of course, if you know what you're doing (like not using public networks to connect to Exchange, or connecting through an encrypted tunnel) you can disable SSL; unfortunately, most users probably don't know what they're doing and don't understand the implications of clearing the SSL checkbox. This is not the proper way to get this to work.

So please save yourself the trouble of someone else possibly gaining access to your account and do it the proper, SSL-encrypted way, by installing the security certificates on your device.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Solidus_k:
You have to enter directly from mail.live.com and they appear.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JohnQ:
hi, i tried this too, not showing either.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Bulldog:
I have used in the past mail2web. It was good reliable service on PDA but you could not connect with Desktop outlook. Therefore I have not sync. PIM information and just used for push email.

After the free service has been cancelled I start to use MS live.

Be frank it was a big pain in the Axx. Compare to a Exchange service. Sometimes it doesn’t sync at all. Sometimes mail arrives late. But then sometimes no problem at all. However if you don’t have a good connection it leads you high data transfer and higher battery consumption.

Of course you have no possibility to sync Calendar, task, etc.

Now since one week I use “Alol.net.br.” Be frank I think it is very very good!! Better then mail2web which was Exchange 2003

The Service guys are just perfect. If any issues..send email and they usually answer under 2 hours

Besides after some difficulties( try 3 days :mad: ) I can also connect my Desktop outlook. Now I can Sync all my Desktop PIM which will be then Air sync to hand device. In this one week I barely use ActiveSync or connect my WinMo to my Desktop.. very very happy!!!!! One small thing maybe the "@alol.net.br" seems long to remember for some.. just "@alol.com" would have been great. Anyhow will sure donate some cash to those guys.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Bulldog:
Outlook and exchange server are usually communicating trough port 135. Most of the ISP’s are blocking those ports. Therefore please check whether your port 135 is open. Other good trick to use to see whether the issue come from your Ports or whether you have some issues with your outlook is to use your WinMO to connect your desktop to internet. (Internet sharing)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lostcausenjtown:
Has anyone had trouble getting access today.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Daved+:
I just signed up but I do not get any emails I send to my alol address (tried from my gmail and my work email).

Is anyone getting emails?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ace10134:
I got my emails like normal. It could have been out for a little, but once it comes back up (it's up now), your emails that you missed will come in.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lostcausenjtown:
Yeah it was down earlier. Everything is just peachy now. Great service.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dolkin:
Good service..... It's really fantastic, but i've a little problem, i can't manage my directory from my Pharos. The option to manage directory is grayed :(

I want to sync personalized email directory and actually it's not possible :(

With mail2web, it's working, but not with alol. At the first sync with alol, my device tell me to accept new policies, do you think this policies block directory management ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tesna:
Well, the service was working fine until today, my last email received is from 6 hours ago. I tried to manually send from yahoo and gmail but the email still not come up in alol inbox.

The strange thing is if I send it to outside (from alol outlook/webmail interface) to yahoo/gmail the mail is delivered to my yahoo/gmail inbox. Strange....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ace10134:
You HAVE to accept the security policies upon first sync. That's probably your issue. Try it again, you might have to remove and then re-configure Exchange in order for that pop-up to appear again.

Yea, it seems like it was down for maintainince again. But the good thing is that once the server comes back up, all of your missed emails will stream right in, so you don't have to worry that you missed anything!
