DOMAIN section for e-mail setup

Do you guys remember when there used to be a Domain box in the e-mail setup options when inputting pop/imap server settings? I notice that with WM6, its gone! The reason i ask this is cuz there is a program that is called Pocket Hotmail which lets you check your hotmail/msn inbox without using windows live! But for MSN e-mails, it requires a name in the Domain field.
Is there any way to get the domain field back? The reason i ask this is cuz i HATE windows live! I have 2 msn accounts and 1 hotmail account, and the only way for me to check them thru live is to log out then log onto another one, then log out again, and log onto the other one. Any ideas anyone? If windows live let us put multiple e-mails to be checked at a time that would be great... but i dont see them doing that in the near future
For clarification, look at step 7 on this link:
http://www1.umn.edu/adcs/guides/email/winmobile5/
you will notice that there is a Domain field. Sum1 please help
Or if anyone knows how to attatch a msn/hotmail account with the standard inbox program that would be great help too!

Typically, if you can't put in a domain name in it's own box, you just prepend it to the front of the username field.
User: rob
Pass: mypass
Domain: mydomain
becomes
user: mydomain\rbruce
pass: mypass
Hope that helps.
Rob

I agree with Rob, that solution would probably work. Usually when you require a domain, putting it in front of the username solves the issue.

I've given up hope on pocket hotmail ... it actually doesnt work ...
Does anyone know of a way i can check msn/hotmail e-mail with the inbox program without using windows live? This would be a HUGE help... but til this very day, i haven't found a way to do it.

In WM6, just go into the messaging list and click "New E-Mail Account", it'll setup the email for you.

in WM6, if you click New E-mail account and enter a msn/hotmail address, it will redirect you to set it up with Windows Live!
I want it to be in just a standard inbox.

It is a standard inbox? Live is just the new name for it.
If you disable the today plugin, you'll just have the Live inbox. Can't you just add and then add again?

In some aspect it is just co-linked with the standard inbox. Hence why sounds cannot be associated when you receive new email messages. Also, you CANNOT add more than one e-mail account at a time. So its a pain having to log in and out of all three of my msn/hotmail accounts.
And currently, i am having a problem with syncing e-mails "as they arrive". If i go to the settings and set it so it notifies me "as they arrive" , the settings don't stick. I officially HATE windows live!

hotmail account problems [SOLVED]

Hi, my hotmail account got hacked recently and I have had to change all my details, however after trying to change them on my phone the account disapeared. I tried to add it again but now when I put the username and pass it and click next it logs onto windows live web mail, i dont want to have to faff about using webmail, i want to collect via outlook mobile. Can anyone direct me to a post where there is a fix for this?

apologies, please can we stick to the thread, please log this issue on a seperate thread as it isnt relevant to this issue.
thanks

try this, delete your hotmail account from your htc and then re add it. make sure you use these settings when prompted:
POP server: pop3.live.com
User name: Your Windows Live ID, for example [email protected]
Password: The password you usually use to sign in to Hotmail or Windows Live
SMTP server: smtp.live.com
Authentication required? Yes
might fix it...

not even there
There is no hot mail account there, it disapeared, Here is exectly what happens:
1. Click new account
2. insert username [email protected]
3. insert passwords
4. click next
usually here it downloads the setting for the account and the it asks if you want to add live account shortcuts to today screen, then downloads folders and then the account shows up in your list of accounts.
What happens instead is it opens opera and tries to log into what looks to be a live webpage, however the login details are simply a jpeg, it is really odd like some virus or something. I had this working before ok, i am not sure what has changed.

are you using windows mobile 6.5?
because if you are, in my experiences, the mail setup tool forces you to go to a website to check your mail. I havent used a 6.5 ROM that lets you use the inbuilt app.

I have the same problem and i'm using windows mobile 6.1.
in gmail it's all working perfect.

good to know
Hi, its good to know I am not the only one out there with this problem, i thought i was going mad, I amusing the latest stock romm with spb mobile shell 3, dont think that has anything to do with it though as I had it setup ok at one point. My NTL (virgin) pop works ok.

the reason?
This might be happening as winmo will only let you setup one hotmail account, someone on my phone the old account might be there even though it is not showing up as an account, therefore when you go thorugh the wizard it automatically forwards you to live webmail, this would make sense, does anyone know how to find out in the registry what acounts are setup?

go to this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=476603&highlight=hotmail
i had this problem before as well but just searching on the various forums you can pretty much find the answer for anything.
all you need to do is create a new email account (without using the automatic settings for hotmail) type in the pop3 settings and your done.

Updated
I had a similar problem when I first set-up the phone. I originally downloaded a fixed version from this site. More recently I downloaded the update available from the MS website.
Always downloads to the phone now.
Running version 10.6.0046.0800

good man
Good job that man, that worked, you simply put in a rubbish user and pass and click next, unclick automatically look for setting from the internet and then it allows you to set it up manually.
thanks for that.

application to setup hotmail as push mail

i successfully set up my hotmail in my X1, set the sync frequency to As Items Arrive, intending to activate push mail.
but now everytime i have new mail, i am not notified at all, not even showing of the numbers of new mails in the Today Screen.
i still need to manually go Menu > Send/Receive to update my mailbox.
any1 got solution or what application i need install?
thanks

yes: GMAIL lol
This would be a workaround, but it would work.
1. Create a Gmail account.
2. Forward your Hotmail to Gmail.
3. Set up your Gmail so that you can reply using your Hotmail account. (yeah you can do that...nifty eh?)
4. Go to your Outlook on your phone and set up "gmail-sync" as your push mail account to retrieve from. It's in beta right now but is working 100% perfectly on my Kaiser. (I'm in here because I'm getting a SEX1 in a couple days ) I frickin' LOVE IT - it pushes IMMEDIATELY as soon as the mail comes in. Instructions here:
http://www.google.com/mobile/products/sync.html#p=winmo
5. Now all your e-mails will be stored to your phone permanently too, instead of the inbox getting wiped every time you send receive, or whenever you have your timing set up for that.
6. Forget about Hotmail and start using Gmail lol. Just kidding...but if you set it up that way, you can still use your Hotmail completely, Gmail will be practically invisible to you. (Or is it the other way around? lol)
Seriously, Google's free push e-mail service is amaaazing. I am LOVING it.

ohhh pls tell me how to fwd mails
in aol /hotmail pls

Syncing frequency to As Items Arrive works perfectly for me.

I confirm that both hotmail and gmail works as a push mail on my XPERIA.
For hotmail, you can just use windows live connection setup and choose/set "as items arrive" and set the time as "always". For gmail, you can use the activesync feature on outlook mobile as have been told by deezy7 above.
Or else, you can use the feature from Emoze service.

hi all.
thanks for ur advices.
i did add my hotmail using the Windows Live program, did set to "as items arrive" and did set for "always"
but nothing ever appear in my pjone for new mail unless i do it manually using "send/receive"
i prefer to use my hotmail acc ley.
any1 pls help mi.
thanks

I just set this up and it works Thank u for an explanation
But I have a question. Now only one of my mail accounts deliver mail. Is there an option to set more e-mail accounts to use push mail feature ?
If so how to do it ?

If you would like to have a free account for push mail service you should try Emoze. I have been playing with Emoze and honestly it helps me much to get my XPERIA have numerous mail account which works as a push mail ....

Ok, I did some workaround, created another gmail account and forwarded all my accounts to that one, and I receiving only that one.
Maybe not the best solution , but I prefer not to use online services like mobipush and such where u leave them your user name and password for each account u have...

As an alternative to Emoze i use Seven Beta. It provides near realtime push on most types of account.

Hey icbicb, in response to your other question as well, my suggestion would have been to do what you already did, which is create another gmail acccount I also prefer not to use any other online services, and was very happy when Google came out with Gmail Sync, since I've already been using my gmail account for five years, and don't have to give out sensitive information to yet another company
To those here using other services, I'd suggest you give Gmail Sync a try. Deedee, I noticed you said that Seven Beta provides you with near realtime push. I've noticed with Gmail Sync, and having my Gmail open at the same time on my pc at work, that Gmail Sync pushes in actual realtime! I'll hear the notification on my phone first before my page refreshes to show me my new e-mail! Also, I should mention that I am using gmail plug-ins to autoupdate the screen when new e-mails come in, and the Gmail sync sends them to my phone simultaneously or even before my page refreshes, thus, I know that it is actual real-time. Just like blackberry's service! I'm in love with it right now
icbicb, I'm glad it's working out for you , loyjwe I hope you are able to give this a try...

it's a good solution, but if i transfert the mail from hotmail to gmail they will be of the hotmail box...
And it's a probleme for me...
do you have a solution for that
(excus me for my bad english)

Big advantage of Seven Beta is that it works for almost all POP3/IMAP email systems and it keeps all the accounts separate so that replies from your PPC keep the correct return address.
I have it working on Gmail x 2, Hotmail and a POP3 account and all four accounts are independant of each other.
I said near real time sync as i didn't want to claim real time in case it wasn't. I rarely use the web interface since starting Seven so haven't been in a position to check. As i tell the BB users at work if you have time to compare the two delivery times then maybe you don't need a BB.

Hi titeloo...bad english is okay lol, but, I don't really understand what you mean by "they will be of the hotmail box..." need further explanation!!
@Deedee, gmail does that also....so... for example, when you get mail forwarded to your gmail account, if it was originally sent to your hotmail account, when you reply on the phone, it will reply from the hotmail account. Gmail's set up pretty good that way. I believe right now though they have a limit on the number of accounts you can send mail from, not sure if it is 3 or 4. So it's pretty neat that Seven Beta keeps all accounts separate ...btw very nice avatar

Seven is only restricted by the number of accounts that can be set up in WM, think it's 8 in total, that includes your ActiveSync/Exchange and SMS accounts.
Thanks for the compliment. Always prefer to use real piccies for avatars where practical.

why doesn't my email sync??? HELP...

i've got my own beautiful desire.
wonderfuk thing, but i've got a problem.
i've got 3 email accounts from hotmail and 1 gmail in my phone.
it all works great, and i like it very much.
except for 1 thing, if a delete a message on the server, my phone still saves it.
i want it so sync and delete the messages that are removed from the server.
i check my mail during the day with my phone, at night i check it on my laptop.
there are often emails in my inbox that are rubish, so i delete them.
usually i do this at night (don't know why, but i just like to do my paperwork at night).
so when i want to check my email during the day, my phone syncs with the account i select but still shows all the email i deleted.
so i have to manually delete them from my phone.
i hate this stupid way they made this.
why in *****'s name would i want to save a message that i deleted from the server?
does anybody have a solution to this problem?
because there aren't a lot of good email clients for android.

+ 1 here; my deleted emails are also shown :-(

What type of email you have setup?
POP3, IMAP?
POP3 will not delete emails (if you delete an email from server, it will stay on the device, and vice versa).
In IMAP, if you delete email from server, it will be deleted from the device too (or vice versa -> device-server, on the next sync)

like is said, it's hotmail so it's pop3.
who came up with the brilliant idea to sync imap and not sync pop3?
again, one of those things i so ****ing hate with software.
why does my windows vista mail program (on the laptop) sync beautifully with my account, but not my android mail program?
is android just to retarded to understand how to sync with pop3?
the day somebody comes up with a program that just works.....
it just pisses me off that nothing with the desire is made to be just right, every little rotten thing needs tweaking to make it work right.

..hm I came from a windows mobile device and I synched the same account; deleting an email in outlook has been also deleted on the device - and vice versa!

It's not about android, Desire, or Windows XP. It's how POP3 works.
Even if you setup the same account on 2 different PCs as POP3, you wont be able to delete emails from one PC to the other.
What I suggest is enabling IMAP on gmail and see how it goes.

If it's a gmail account and it used to work on WM but not on Android, then I would delete and re-add the account. My gmail account works great. I delete or mark as read an email on my PC or webmail, and the same goes to my Desire on the next sync.
If we're talking about personal domain (not gmail, hotmail...), then during setup in the Mail application choose the IMAP protocol.

that still deosn't solve the issue with hotmail on the desire.
hotmail is pop3, doesn't do imap.
but it works great with windows mobile.
on android it works like it's just rubbish.

I don't know about that really, I don't use hotmail.
I use gmail, and personal domain/server.
I hope someone else can help you with your hotmail issue.

so nobody knows anything about this?
they can figure out how to get the bleu led to switch on and off, but nobody can make a tweak so hotmail gets synced properly?

I think it's because in the WinMob email app you can tell it to download emails from the last 3 days and anything older disappears automatically.
The Android email apps don't do this but you can set them to delete emails from the server so if you delete the email on your phone it will delete it from the server but you can't do it the other way round.

has anyone found a solution for this.
Starting to annoy me now as well

Email in the phone

Guys
I am using an Android phone. I have the stock email program and I have also K9 and Enhanced Email all running at the same time.
I have an Gmail account but don't use it for email or for nothing really dont trust the cloud/google.
My problem is all the email apps work great BUT when I open outlook then they all get removed form my phone. So basically the only emails I am left with are the send ones(in my phone). This happens with my POP and exchange accounts.
My question:
1) is there a Mail App that will make a copy of the email in my phone so when I open outlook they wont get sync and disappear?
2) If number 1 is no then is there a easy way to full your phone to keep the emails.
Thank you

A properly configured Exchange server usually doesn't allow the local device to retain the message data, it's all accessed real-time from the server. Its possible you have what I call a Half-Ass Exchange, which means you have a central address directory, but the IT department set up Outlook and Exchange to store messages locally on the PC rather than on the server. This would lead to what you are experiencing... Outlook takes all the messages off the server, leaving your phone with nothing to see when it connects. There's not a whole lot you can do about that unless your IT guys will move your email data to the Exchange server. Or maybe they have an IMAP access option. (See below)
With pop3 accounts... You have a similar problem, except there is no way to for two different devices to access the same data. The closest you can get would be to configure both devices to leave messages on the server after downloading them. Any emailed replies then can only be accessed from the device from which you sent them.
If you have the option, switch your pop3 accounts to IMAP. All user data is kept on a server (just like GMail), and any device that is connected to that account automatically syncs with the server, including access to deleted messages and sent messages sent from any other device.
All that being said... The stock email program kinda sucks. I would stick with the 3rd party apps like K9.

This is a new issue to me. I came from a PRE WEBOS and i did not have that problem. I believe the problem is in the way ANDROID OS handles emails. Basically all its changed is the device all else remained constant. I believe but not sure that if i was run all my mail thru gmail this will not be an issue. Its that true?
Thanks

I access my pop3 mail just fine using K9 (again, I don't like the stock email program). Downloaded messages remain on my phone after they've been downloaded by my Thunderbird installation on my PC.
My current company doesn't have an Exchange server, so I can't speak to that with direct knowledge... My lat experience with Exchange was about two years ago, so its behavior could certainly have changed! My current company has 10 locations, and they are content to use a 3rd party pop3 solution for email. As an IT man, that annoys me, but then, I don't write the checks!
If you haven't changed any settings in your Outlook, then I would look closer to your settings in the email programs. K9 specifically has a setting that you need to check in order to download the messages to your phone (as opposed to just reading them off the server). I don't remember if it came checked by default...
Check to see if your phone email programs are set to actually download entire messages from the server, or just the message headers. In K9, there is a specific setting under account

I don't see that option on my Enhanced Email program nor in the stock email program and I can not use K-9 because y does not support outlook 2010 exchange yet.
