Connecting to webmail server

plmyers · 06-15-07, 02:36 PM

I have found that I cannot connect to either of the two webmail serviers I use for home and work. I get error messages stating that my device is not supported from my work server, and login errors from my home ISP. Is this due to teh level of encryption required for the connection or something else? Is there another way to connect that might work?

Can you access the webmail sites to get to the point where you would enter your username & password?

You may wish to tell us what browser you are using and perhaps the web mail server too. Pocket IE is known to be rather primitive when dealing with sites having complicated client-side scripts.

I can get to the point of entering my user name and password. After that, on my work server I get "No authority could be contacted for authentication". Here I am attempting to connect to Exchange server.
My connection to my home server also lets me get to the log in screen, but at that screen also shows "Your mobile device may not be supported" and will not recognise my login.

I am using Pocket IE on my Axim as my browser if that makes any difference.

I am using Pocket IE. Attempting to connect to Exchange server at work, and Earthlink webmail for home. Also see my reply to Elrendhel.

What other browsers have good features for this?

You were right zhaoyun!
I switched to Mozilla's Minimo and was able to log in to both servers. It must be an IE thing.
Thanks for the insight!

Good to hear that my blind guess did help you.

That's great, and for an even better browsing experience, I highly recommend the newest Opera 8.65 Beta browser, superior in every way.
