CR4700

Ok well I just had my first success fixing my E-mail problem involving Comcast.net as my ISP. I wasn’t able to send e-mail only receive it. So I found the solution on our forum and viola it worked and I now have my 4700 back to being the sweet business machine that it is. This was a win for me to get it up and going. Just in case anyone else runs into this problem I attached the solution below.

Peace

There is indeed a bug in Pocket Windows 2003 that relates to NOT being able to send SMTP mail .

Curious there is no mention of this flaw in the HP ipaq support site !!!

Credit where credit is due: I got the information from:

Following is a copy of the post that talks about solving this problem:
----------------------------------------
This is a PocketPC 2003 flaw.

There is a problem with sending email from PocketPCs with the PocketPC 2003 operating system.
The problem has to do with how ISP is set up. The PPC has a problem with certain mail servers. Some servers are configured in a way that it does not have SSL enabled, but the operating system thinks it does have it enabled. So you need to do a registry tweak that forces the registry to tell the operating system not to use SSL.

You will need to use a third party registry editor, such as “PHM Registry Editor� (http://www.phm.lu/Products/PocketPC/...t/download.asp) to make the following changes:

Note that the install does not work properly with some PPCs, so instead download the .cab file. Just put this in the PocketPC My Documents folder. Do an ActiveSync, and then click on the cab file from within the PPC File Explorer to install.

Follow these steps using with any registry editor software for Pocket PC:

Open the PHM Editor (Programs>>PHM Regedit)
Locate HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Inbox
Create a new DWORD value ForceOffSSL and give it a value of 1, Base=Decimal (tap Edit, and New DWORD Value).
Soft-reset device.


WARNING: This is not for the novice user. Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall all of your applications, and in some case to hard reset your device. Modify the registry at your own risk.

Hi CR4700. Thanks for the post.

Hi swhoutx035,

I’m still a novice but will continue to post my resolutions as they arise. Having the problem of not being able to send email was a huge one, it defeated the entire purpose of putting out $$$ for the 4700 and making it my laptop replacement.

I just purchased Spb Plus and I’m learning how to maximize the features it offers. I’m enjoying the desk top feel it gives, makes for a more practical way to get to your app’s & programs quickly.

Peace,
