Hotmail Inbox (port 443/8080/80)

[bonilla]

Hi experts!

I need a little help in this one.

I want to access to my hotmail account in my inbox on my HTC.
I can only access to ports 80 443 and 8080

I have already tested httpmail Provider (which need a hotmail Plus subscription and I have only a @hotmail.com mail) ,and it crash with a Logging On and a screen with :'The server returned an invalid response (with a lot of jibberish shit and a (80042003), Error Source:HTTP Status :Logging On

I have already tested pocket hotmail 2.5 (it doesn't work ,it doesn't pass the Logging In and I get a: 'connecting to server failed)

I read some stuff about mail2web(actually good) ,with a not pratical solution ,going through hotmail->izymail ->gmail ->mail2web
but izymail doesn't keep a record of the mail,and most important thing it's not free.

So, what can I do ?

I know there is a HTTP way to get the mail (http://services.msn.com/svcs/hotmail/httpmail.asp)

With the Peracount app ,i would like to see if I'm receiving some mail.

Thanks in advance!

I velieve I installed windows livw from a cab I found on here. Let me knowi fyou cannot find it. Search for Windows Live 10[1].6.33.0600 (Fixed).zip

Microsoft actually makes it easy this time, though this page is not easy to find. Just load Windows Live for Windows Mobile and you are fixed.
Also it allows you to use your hotmail contacts and to save you phone contacts to hotmail

I have tested both solutions:
As I said before ,I can only surf with ports 80 8080 and 443.
With Windows live (the fixed and with the link) I cannot pass the Checking Internet connection (I have one,I was surfing to test it).

I was thinking develop a small app which connects to the HTTP site and try to catch if there are any new mail and put it on the today screen.

But I cannot believe there is no solution for my problem.:confused:

Could you give us more details about Windows Live app not connecting. I use that app for my hotmail and it works flawlessly.

Whose your service provider? (IE, T-Mobile, at&t)

[bonilla]

I'm on a french provider : SFR .

The problem is that I cannot pass the Checking Internet connectivity.
I think the problem is the port (it must be testing another ports rather than 80 8080 or 443).

[zalaros]

I think his internet connection is wap based (via proxy) and that's why he can't pass the internet connection check ;)

[bonilla]

Yes ,I think that's the problem.

That's why i was wondering if a small app cannot go to the hotmail site (http) and catch some information

[GWelker62]

Are your connections settings using a proxy server?

[bonilla]

Yes ,it is using a proxy server to connect to Internet ,and then it blocks all ports except 80 8080 and 443

hey, had same exact problem. on tmobile USA's tzones plan it uses a proxy connection so windows live doesnt work. after lots of time, i finally figured out one way that works perfectly. first, you have to upgrade to hotmail plus. you can now set it up like any other pop3 email account. search google for hotmail pop3 to find the settings, otherwise ill post them for you when i get home. this is the ONLY way i ever got it working. good luck

[GWelker62]

Is there any way you can set up a connection profile without using a proxy server?

With at&t for example, connecting via a proxy is only necessary for accessing the Media Net home web page.

@ omaralt :

Hotmail plus is free ?

@GWelker62

All data must pass via the proxy

[omaralt]

no, its $20/year, well worth it for me

[GWelker62]

@GWelker62

All data must pass via the proxy

Bummer.....

I would suggest spending the pocket change like omaralt suggests, and get hotmail plus (http://get.live.com/en-us/mailplus/features).
