i use alol since 2 weeks now and i must sat that it is really reliable.

i sync ppc, tabletpc and desktop pc (mail,calendar,contacts n tasks).

the guy from alol was very helpful to configure all of this.

but if u want to also sync ourlook 2007 sp2 with alol (and any other xchange i guess), you will have to dl a hotfix for outlook, unless you configure the account before applying sp2. i did a lot of search and test before understandin and finding that.

u can pm if you need

btw, i recommand alol, it is working very well (i ger all my email from several addresses with gmail and forward all 2 alol; so that i get push for all boxes with 1 only account. little drawback: i answer all my mails with alol address)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] geroh:
@lezink

Can U tell me, which outlook hotfix it ist, because i´m having also trouble with alol an the Outlook 2007 SP2. I can´t connect to the server.

My mobile syncs without problems, but I want to sync my desktop pc also.

Thanx

geroh
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] armour_infantry:
can u please share wud is the necessary hot fix to be downloaded as well as the configuration settings for outlook 2007 as well?

:D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lezink:
yes for sure

i will post it from work tomorrow

Thank you! My exchange account stopped working too, and I couldn't get it working either. thanks so much, I'll be waiting.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vcdwelt:
What about Security? Can't find anything about alol Organisation...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ace10134:
Hmm that's true. Idk, I actually never thought about that. Bad idea by me, most likely. Well I'll tell you if anything happens. I noticed that they seem to be from Mexico or another Spanish speaking place, because all of their e-mails have spanish in the headers, like the to and from parts.

ALOL - offers now on the homepage the exchange 2003 support only for a donation - probably thats the problem ??

Greetings ...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mindfrost82:
Its been working fine for me. Occasionally it seems to time out on my desktop, but it'll connect after a little while.

I have it setup on my WM phone, on Outlook 2003 on XP, and on Outlook 2007 on Windows 7.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JohnQ:
it's just suddently failed to connect using outlook 2003. in the past 3 months, there was no problem. what should i do? do i have to updating outlook to 2007? that would be ok?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ace10134:
Update to Outlook 2007, or donate to ALOL. They said on their homepage that if you want to still use Outlook 2003, you would have to donate.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JohnQ:
oh i see, thank you ace10134
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cityhunterx:
Im having the exact same issue, i think its ISP related.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ace10134:
We just said it was because ALOL is phasing out support for the old Outlook 2003. If you want to still use your old software, all they ask for is a donation, and then you're back in commission.

Install certificate in Outlook 2007

All,

I have been using this service for about a week now on my phone. It is great! It also works on Outlook 2007 if I am not behind any sort of corporate firewall or a hotel that may block certain IP traffic. I have tried and tried to get the alol certificate to install to the Trusted Root of my Vista computer, but it does not work. When I do the import, I get the message stating that the import was successful. But, the certificate does not appear in that particular store. Any help is greatly appreciated as I need the HTTP proxy connection. Thanks for your help!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] devalian:
hey guys.. i previously able to sync with outlook 2010 TP. but once i format my pc, the current outlook 2010 it juz wont sync.

the error said the name cannot be resolved and do not match with the address book.

previously it works with the same isp. i even port forward 135 to my pc.

is it the only way is to downgrade to 2007 sp2?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dom_mitchell1:
I had this problem when trying to set up a second pc with Alol. It works fine and I've got it running on Office 2010 TP. I emailed monitor@alol.net.br and they sent me different informationt to put into the 'Name' section. One thing though, you need to have created you Alol account before 8/22/2009.

Obviously that is the name for my account, I don't know if your would be the same but changing the username after the cn= part. Best advice, drop Alol an email at the above address!

Hope this helps; it's allowed me to have it running on both Outlook 2007 SP2 and Outlook 2010 TP across two machines.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] devalian:
hmm, tried. but still not working. hey bro, how u get the email address of it?? i search around i found nothing bout the support email. really thx for it. i will email them n see. thx.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dom_mitchell1:
Just used the email address that sent me my sign-up confirmation. Was a bit of a long shot but turned out to be right.

Got a fairly speedy response as well!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bliblablub:
Had the problem with Win 7 that the account couldn't fit the one from ALOL. But they mailed me to use the long name. The name can btw found in OWA -> Options -> Info -> Exchange postbox-adress

Please can anybody upload the missing hotfix for ms outlook 2007 sp2?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ace10134:
Hmm mine worked fine, I'm on Outlook 2007. I didn't install a single hotfix.

Maybe someone already posted it earlier in the thread? Search for it. Otherwise, hope that someone does upload it, lol.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Bib_x:
I got it directly from ms.

I have the error which is explained here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=3871029&postcount=22
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Bib_x:
Installed the hotfix, but it was already installed.

Nothing changed, no connection to exchange-server with outlook.

I tested:

Vista 32bit business with outlook 2003 sp3

Win XP prof with outlook 2007 sp2

all up to date

No connection with outlook.

Certificate is installed on all machines.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Bulldog:
are you sure your ports (135..139) not blocked by firewale or from your service provider?? if you wanted to confirm whether you have issue with connection or with outlook it self you could do one thing..connect your computer to net with using your device as modem (internet sharing) then try to connect to alol.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Bib_x:
My router is an avm fritzbox 7270. My ISP doesn´t block any ports.

I can connect with my mobile phone with wlan to my exchange-account. Isn´t windows mobile outlook using the same ports as normal outlook for desktop-pc?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Bulldog:
For my knowledge PPC using different protocol to connect to exchange then PC. Furthermore I am not sure abut your router but port 135 to 139 ports are ussualy blocked by routers and firewales.Therefore you need to make sure you can connect to Alol with your desktop. You might try to ping Alol to see whether you are able to get connection. My previous suggestion using your ppc as modem is also other way to find out that you dont have connection problems on your desktop
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ace10134:
Honestly, setting up Exchange on Windows Mobile is 10x easier than setting it up on Windows :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Costelas:
Hi all, this is my first post! I have very little knowledge on this area but was able to resolve my problem with the help of this forum.

Thank you very much for this info bliblablub! I was struggling with this for the past 2 days and the solution was here.

I was trying to setup my ALOL free Exchange account in Outlook 2007 and couldn't get the name checked.

I was using "first_name.last_name" for user and was always getting this error message: "Name could not be matched to a name in the Address List".

In my case, the solution was:

Access Outlook Web Access @ http://win.alol.net.br/owa/

Options;

About;

Copy the text after "Exchange mailbox address: "

/o=ALOL/ou=Exchange Administrative Group (ABCDEFGH12ABCDE)/cn=Recipients/cn=first_name.last_name;

Use the text as user and press "Check Name";

DONE! The server and user names should now be underlined
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] deedee:
Looks like this has gone the way of mail2web and is now no longer free. :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ace10134:
Well do existing customers get to keep their free account? My exchange is still up and running.

But I think that's the point of these...they lure you with the free account, and then over time, when you become more dependant on it, they make you pay :p
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bigchrizzieboy:
outlook 2007... ???

Hi, is it possible to configure outlook 2007 on my desktop?

I readed much info in this post and on the internet, maybe i forget something? or it simply doesnt work:confused:

Hoping not for an reaction like: "search":cool: THANKS!

What i've done so far (and found by searching)

Using win.alol.net.br since 04-08-09 on my PDA

- i saw somewhere you needed to be registered before 01-09-09?

Installed the certificate from the first post

- followed the steps under here:

1. if you have SP2 for Office 2007 installed, DL the hotfix from MS here :

http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;969519

(was already installed on my computer)

2. install it by using the password emailed to you by MS (I didn't have to reboot after that, but you may have to ...)

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)

IN OUTLOOK

outlook should configure your account automatically but if it says that it can't open mail folder and that server must be down for maintenance (blablabla) then closes itself, here is what i did :

1. go back to mail option in config panel

2. create a fake address book (i created a mobile phone address book)

3. start outlook

4. once synchronized with exchange (check in the right lower case), delete fake address book

5. close outlook and restart, just to be sure.

I don't know if these last steps will be necessary because when i did them on my tabletpc, in the meantime, the guy from ALOL following my case had opened a second TCP (1038), which is reputed to help solving some connexion problems. So i don't know what trick worked, but now it works from my ppc, from my desktop and from my tablet.

Tried many diffirent exchange adresses & usernames like: http://win.alol.net.br/owa, http://win.alol.net.br/, https://win.alol.net.br/owa, http://win.alol.net.br/owa/cgabakker, etc.

Usernames: cgabakker, cgabakker@win.alol.net.br, /o=ALOL/ou=Exchange Administrative Group (FYDIBOHF23SPDLT)/cn=Recipients/cn=cgabakker

opened ports 135 till 139 on my firewall's switch/norton

Tried to contact monitor@win.alol.net.br but getting an non delivery...

You're my last hope otherwise i'll give it up.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] simplistian:
Google does email + calendar + contacts.

http://www.google.com/mobile/products/sync.html#p=winmo
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Bib_x:
Can i sync with googlemail with activesync and pushmail or do i have to install another programm, like syncml (this program i need for pushmail with some non-exchange-accounts)?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bliblablub:
Try without the WIN ^^

@Bib_x

I don't understand... Why do you want to sync a exchange box with google? Best would be to forward all google to alol and get the mails via activesync...

Then you also can use Microsoft Direct-Push
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Bib_x:
I want to send my mails not with my exchange-adress, but with another email-adress.

Can i set up my mobile phone in this way? when i´m in the inbox of my exchangeaccount and click on new mail, there should automatically be used my other (pop3/smtp) mail account as sender.

Receiving mails should run over my exchange account (all other email-accounts are forwarded to the exchange account).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] simplistian:
google offer push mail and calendar and contact via activesync, why forward?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Bib_x:
But i heard a lot about googlemail forwarding mails not as fast as an real exchange-server.

What about contacts? I don´t want to get all my contacts twice - with exchange there is no problem, all the same software - but what about googlemail?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] piratoes:
Today I´ve got a big Problem.

My PPC won´t sync cause the Certificat on the server is not ok.

The Problem is: There are no Buttons where i can ignore this. On my last Roms there where Popups to force to sync.

Is there a Solution for this Problem?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] piratoes:
Sorry it was my mistake.

I just had to juse the file in Post1.

Greetings.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ouioui:
You must know that Google has now his own push server. With it you can get ur mail by using wap connection.

Connnections details here : http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?answer=138636&topic=14299

You must configurate it as an outlook exchange mail (under active sync) il you want to use the push options.

Specially useful for ppl like me with only wap data connection (french SFR Illimythics).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nosralr:
Using my own email address?

I have been looking at www.alol.net.br and thinking of singing up, but with the lack of information there one hardly knows exactly what it all involves.

http://win.alol.net.br/simple/

Listed on the above link I am satisfied with what I would receive for a single donation of $10 or the $29.

However, can anyone tell me if I could retain my old email address and use it in this exchange account, or I would be forced to use myname@alol.net.br I can't find information on this.

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] powersquad:
late reply but with $29 donation, you can change the FROM field of your exchange e-mail address to your old e-mail address..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ace10134:
THANK YOU! That solved my issue too....now I'm getting Exchange to work in Outlook 2010 on my new Tablet PC! I wish exchange was as easy to configure as it is on our WinMo phones though, hah.

If anyone else is having issues configuring Exchange for Outlook on their PC, do what he said above!

Is alol.net.br no longer free?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] soclean:
nope no longer a free service. 10 or 29 dollars to sign up
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] soclean:

today i could not get my outlook to log on and i could not get OWA to work either? anyone else having this issue?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] boricua022:
ALOL server down??

+1 It's been two days i havn't got my email via alol. even the website is down. I emailed them to see whats up
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] soclean:
it had been awesome

they were good for the time they lasted. and i paid the 10 bucks for the premium so it was actually great for me

lets hope they didnt take our money and run.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Bib_x:
I use web-frontend (OWA) - no problems in the last few days.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] soclean:
still no luck as of today

i cant get it to work on my outlook or OWA today still. have you been able to use it today?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Bib_x:
I use it all the day - owa and mobile connect.

No problems since last few months.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] soclean:
okay. got a reply from alol webmaster. my isp is not updated to their new ip and keeps attempting thier old one. i was hoping i was doing something wrong and it wasnt their server. now i just have to figure out how to update my ISP to see thier new ip.

update

using my phone as a router i have access... using my verizon broadband at home i get no access to the website.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] boricua022:
I here you. I paid $24 and only lasted 3 days before the shut-down. One thing i did find odd is that, when you go online to there website www.alol.net.br using a pc, it won't connect as if the website is down. but when i used my Fuze to go to the site, i was able to log in.

Edit: I forgot to mention that I havn't heard anything from the email i sent them :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Bib_x:
The service isn´t down. They only changed their IP.

So i think your internet provider hasn´t updated its dns-server.

I can connect to alol without problems.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] soclean:
very correct. thats what i was saying in my other post.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] boricua022:
ALOL is back

Glad that finally Verizon FIOS updated there dns server. Its been 2 weeks that i been without push email and had to rely on regular email. Guess i was spoiled with push :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] signothefish:
Looks like their service is down. I can't connect to their server through Outlook or OWA.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Bib_x:
They are online again.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] camro:
only a tip/hint...

try schedhandler (only INSTANT EMAIL via IMAP IDLE).

the new version 3.0 is for now NonPublic, because i'm not ready with the manuals(videos) + HP is under construction, but i know, that it is working VERY good and a lot of users are happy with it.

(you'll find it -> search for *SchedHandler*)

(if someone is interessted to test -> PM me)

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] meajude:
Thanks for the tip, solved my problem.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nosralr:
Moved on

I tried these ALOL folks out for awhile. For the small donation I have to agree it wasn't all that bad. However, I was interested in something of better quality, even if I had to pay a little for it. ALOL just wasn't pushing it on time all the time. So I bumped around and the cheapest I could find was the Zimbra Collaboration Suite for $4 a month. I bit the bullet and haven't looked back since. Signed up a colleague after he also used ALOL for 1 month and he isn't looking back either. http://www.squeaksoft.com/ Absolutely no complaints so far. If you can live without phone support and rely on email support, and $4 is within your budget, then follow me.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] stevefg:
Any one know the link to sign up for this.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] clevergirl:
IIRC there used to be the owa login, ads and a link to signup on alol.net.br

Now my old account still works, but it seems this link and the ads disappeared, so they probably stopped taking new registrations?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bliblablub:
Mates, is this real? ^^ Somehow I can't get the intention from the text...

Why do they speak of a "symbolic" annual rate?!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] the-gog:
Yes, it's legit. I've emailed them about it. The only concern I have about paying is its unreliability. Sometimes incoming mail can be delayed by hours, i.e. nothing comes in for hours on end, despite the fact I know it's been sent. This happens for all the devices I have connected, and even their webmail interface. They reckon that with the anticipated drop in user numbers after the introduction of this yearly charge, the service will be quicker and more reliable. The other gripe I have is that sometimes outgoing mail is also delayed for several hours.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bliblablub:
So this is meant to be a annual, recurring fee of ~25 $ per year, isn't it?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Bib_x:
I changed completely from alol to gmail - much better with android on my hd2. No more delay on sending and receiving mails.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] the-gog:
It seems that they blacklisted the IP address that my incoming mail routes through, so since 12:50 UTC I've had no mail whatsoever. I sent them three emails to let them know about this and for them to do something about it, but as of 21:45 UTC I've had no reply. :mad:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mamamam:
game over :rolleyes:

gmail is my new favorit
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Bulldog:
For people that don’t know yet, Hotmail started few months ago also offering kind exchange push mail same as Gmail, and for those living in Outlook (calendar, contacts, email) on their PC it might be much better solution then Gmail.

Outlook config walkthrough

OK, so here is the walkthrough i followed :

1. if you have SP2 for Office 2007 installed, DL the hotfix from MS here :

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;969519

(you may have to ask for it and receive link by mail with a password on archive like it was for me, as it was not publicly available last week)

2. install it by using the password emailed to you by MS (I didn't have to reboot after that, but you may have to ...)

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 ;)

2. create a fake address book (i created a mobile phone address book)

3. start outlook

So i don't know what trick worked, but now it works from my ppc, from my desktop and from my tablet.

Hope it can help other uses.

For informations ALOL = america latina on line - it seems to be an official ISP provider in brazil, but i don't know if it could be a proof of security for our informations. (in fact, what about what we knew from mail2web ?? In my case, i know alol as well as mail2web on the subject of the security of my data)

cheers.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] armour_infantry:
oh i just checked my outlook 2007 and it's sp 1 :eek:
