Flexmail not working on WMXL v0.20?

[char05]

Hi,
I got WMXL v0.20 running on my device and I would like to use flexmail. I tried to install the last Beta release which should work on WM6.

http://download.pocketinformant.com/FTF/FlexMail_2007_R2_Public_Beta/PB1_1418/

But it does not. When installing the cab file I get an error message Flexmail requires a pocket PC 2002/2003/2003SE system. Anyone figured out a way to install Flexmail?
Thanks

Cannot help you: But consider NOT to install FlexMail. Its really buggy and developer is not very responsive about criticism.

The built in eMail client does have SSL encryption and it does read HTML emails - one key reason why a lot of people used FlexMail.

For me using FlexMail I would loose all my eMails twice a week. Then SMS/TEXT would not work properly anymore - even if you would not use FlexMail for these messages. I spent quite a while figuring out that FlexMail was causing all the problems. And no help from the developer - no refund of money - instead he urged me to send him more and more log files. Well - I was not beta testing :(

Now using the WM6 standard eMail client without any problems :)

Hallo Applestar,
thanks for the hints. So far I was using the standard email client in WM6 and everything worked fine. Since this week I have the following problem. When there is an email in the outbox there is an autentication problem. The smtp server I use requires authentication and the wm6 email client does not handle it properly as the autorisation is always refused. It is not a problem with the password nor with the smtp server as sending emails work fine from my laptop. So I wanted to try Flexmail as an alternative which in this case I better not.

I had the beta version working just fine... are you sure your downloading the right cab/install version?

With WM6, I no longer need FlexMail. The reasons I needed FlexMail were for HTML mail and proper IMAP sync/delete support.

Now with WM6, HTML support seems to be pretty good. And IMAP account emails that I delete and resync seem to really get deleted as expected.

I never could get SMS to work properly with FlexMail either. And it would lose my db's every few days to the point where I had to conciously back up its Mail folder constantly so when it did upchuck, I could just replace the folder and resyc. Total pain. Good riddance.

Now if only MissingSync would support WM6, I'd be one happy guy.

I considered to install Flexmail for the IMAP Idle Support.
But if it's so crappy.....
So how can i use IMAP Idle with the build-in Outlook on WMXL 0.20?
