Hotmail and HTTPmail not functioning.

'Working' for text. Not attachments, as it used to on this device just before I upgraded to WM2003. Seems to me that the newer OS has more email problems. HTTPmail's developer sent me a debug version to test, analyzed the results, and determined that the attachment problem must reside in the Inbox application or device registry, not in his app.

Gerard, the problem is with your device, not Inbox and not httpmail. Both text and attachments download fine on all my devices and I'm using all flavors of PPC (2002, 2003 and 2003 SE). You should, perhaps, consider a hard-reset.

Oh, well, I am a very forgetful person. Seems likely that the advice I followed, from someone who's name eludes me, was to create a dword there called ForceOffSSL and to give it a value of 1. Maybe that's it. It immediately dropped my Hotmail updates from about 20 seconds to about 6 seconds or so.

Thanks Gerard, I will give it a try !!

Adrian,
I appreciate your suggestion as above, same suggestion you made to me by email.
Your program worked fine on my Axim X30, WM2003SE. I loved it. On my Axim X50v,also running WM2003SE, suddenly I can only download truncated emails and no attachments.
I suppose I could hard reset and reinstall, but what would that change? Same software environment. I just can't understand what the difference could be between the X30 and X50. Something different about the Inbox function? Some conflict with the VGA?
If you really think that a hard reset might change something, I'd go ahead with it, because HTTPmail is that important to me. Thanks.

Forget HTTPMail. Let's make it easier:

Configuration
* Incoming server: in.izymail.com
* Outgoing server: out.izymail.com
* User name: you have to include @hotmail.com (for example pepe@hotmail.com).

Try it and you'll see how easy it is. Forget plug-ins, HTTP mail, web access or similar.

Quite frankly, after reading the original post, I think I was stoned when I posted that reply....

Let me try to save some parts of my a$$ here ... I confused HTTPMail with the http mail protocol, bah. Then I mentioned POP access when Hotmail uses http to connect via an e-mail client... lol, then I hurriedly looked for an article about MSN discontinuing http client access and messed that up...

so to end this reply.. yeah I sounded like a moron.

tomas; are you involved with IzyMail's paid subscription service somehow? On a commission? Are you the developer? You keep posting about This in threads where people are trying to get Inbox working with HTTPmail or Pocket Hotmail, and though there is plainly a tangential relationship, a paid proxy mail service is not what people are asking about in these threads.

Besides this obvious problem with your suggestion there is the legitimate concern about handing over one's MSN ID and password, along with one's entire current contact list, to a third party. IzyMail may well be secure, but who knows? With this sort of sneaky introduction to the service - appearing to be free, appearing to be simple, but being neither and eventually resulting in spam and weird Inbox behavior - I recommend fairly strongly against IzyMail. They are not being open about what they offer, and frankly neither are you.

Especially this - your Hotmail ID and Password are now your sign-in to Microsoft's .NET passport, their "secure" logon to many services (Expedia and others). Someone, like izymail, gets hold of your Hotmail logon, its more than just your email account. Theoretically, someone with that info could buy plane tickets on Expedia with your stored credit card, and who knows how many other sites.
Unwise in my book.

... and email via an unsecured port and/or protocol such as a PPC POP3/SMTP service is not safe from anyone clever enough to do some snooping. I'm not that clever, and frankly have better uses for my time than ti figure it out. But there are those who are very interested, for criminal gain, and who will stop at virtually nothing to get at such useful information as might be sent between IzyMail and a user. Like you said; way too risky.

Not at all. I was only trying to show you this option since it was not mentioned in this forum. In fact, I just made a copy & paste of the same reply in all the posts with such question. It's up to you to use it or not. For me it's an easy way to have not access my hotmail account.

If you don't trust in Izymail, don't use it. I dis not have any information about problems with Izymail. If you have it, it's goodto know, but at the end of the dayI think that there a lot of more easier ways to get your personal info than hotmail accounts. Don't be paranoic with Expedia, and, and.. please

I insist, I do not have any realtionship with those guys. Sorry if my answers have annoyed you but it was not my intention.

Okay, you've cleared that up, thank you tomas. It seemed a little too much like the sort of cross-posting I've at times had to delete from the CEWindows forums, when some vendor decides to hit every specialty forum with the same copy/paste. In general this is not a great way to get word out, tending rather to annoy... but then again you are obviously enthusiastic about IzyMail, so it makes sense that you should want to share.
