FREE EXCHANGE SERVICE www.alol.net.br - has anyone tried it?

[mr.vandalay]

anyway since mail2web is no loner free this free service could come in handy http://www.alol.net.br

if you get the following message:"the security certificate on the server is not valid. contact your exchange server administrator or ISP to install a valid certificate on the server."
Try to use without ssl connection. Or enter in https://win.alol.net.br and get the certficate file and copy to your phone and run the certificate file .cer.
Both options should work.
certificate attached below.

has anyone tried it ? i'm currently using windows live but i'm not too happy with it since i have to forward my gmail to my live acc...

anyway i have tried these services as well:

emoze - only 1mb attachment size
emansio - doesn't work with gmail when HSDPA is enabled (customer service sad that that will be fixed in their next release)
seven - service is unreliable , and too buggy for me (still beta).
WM live - doesn't allways sync (sometimes it takes up to 3hrs to sync my acc)
mail2web - no longer free
funambol - it doesn't exactly push mail.. it usually gets it within 10mins
imap pusher service - isn't stable , however a great and promising project
massaint direct push - http://dpush.massaint.com
It's free DirectPush , currently works only with gmail through ActiveSync

so does anyone have some more info on this alol.net.br exchange service - my main concern is if it's going to stay free and can i use a different "reply to/send" adress.

thanks



EDIT : added alol certificate

regards ;-)

I would rather use Chronobis ! Try that if you want Outlook emails on mobile !

[ushisama]

It works perfect. Pushes in a second, 1GB space, up to 100MB attachment. Thanks for sharing. But looks you can't use different address.

[BigQ]

This free service is exchange 2007 or 2003 server?

[mr.vandalay]

This free service is exchange 2007 or 2003 server?

it's 2007 , same as mail2web

[BigQ]

it's 2007 , same as mail2web

Thanks for your reply.

but I cant find about pushmail setting for alol.net.br...

[mbritten]

It's on the first page after you create an account:

Mobile Direct Push Mail Configuration:
Exchange Server Address: win.alol.net.br
User Name: <your username>
Password: <your password>
Domain: ALOL

[alexirsi]

Google is also providing an exchange-service (mail + calendar + contacts)

[mr.vandalay]

Google is also providing an exchange-service (mail + calendar + contacts)

are you sure that you can sync mail? i know about calendar and contacts.
are you using something like nuevasync?

[ace10134]

Works with your desktop Outlook 2007 and Outlook 2010 :rolleyes:

Very nice, but you can't use your existing Windows Live account for it. The only way to get those emails would be to foward them. Other than that, if you're looking for a new email address, this is fantastic!

Google is only providing Calendar and Contacts. Not mail.

[alexirsi]

Really? Thought it was also syncing emails when i tried it.
I don't remember exactly, i'm only using calendar + contacts.

I think you can add a GMail account to your Mail on your phone, but it doesn't use the Exchange server at all, it just goes through POP or IMAP or whatever it uses.

[lezink]

i use alol since 2 weeks now and i must sat that it is really reliable.
i sync ppc, tabletpc and desktop pc (mail,calendar,contacts n tasks).
the guy from alol was very helpful to configure all of this.
but if u want to also sync ourlook 2007 sp2 with alol (and any other xchange i guess), you will have to dl a hotfix for outlook, unless you configure the account before applying sp2. i did a lot of search and test before understandin and finding that.
u can pm if you need

btw, i recommand alol, it is working very well (i ger all my email from several addresses with gmail and forward all 2 alol; so that i get push for all boxes with 1 only account. little drawback: i answer all my mails with alol address)

[geroh]

@lezink

Can U tell me, which outlook hotfix it ist, because i´m having also trouble with alol an the Outlook 2007 SP2. I can´t connect to the server.
My mobile syncs without problems, but I want to sync my desktop pc also.

Thanx

Thank you! My exchange account stopped working too, and I couldn't get it working either. thanks so much, I'll be waiting.

What about Security? Can't find anything about alol Organisation...

Hmm that's true. Idk, I actually never thought about that. Bad idea by me, most likely. Well I'll tell you if anything happens. I noticed that they seem to be from Mexico or another Spanish speaking place, because all of their e-mails have spanish in the headers, like the to and from parts.

[armour_infantry]

yes for sure
i will post it from work tomorrow

thank you very much :o

[lezink]

thank you very much :o

OK, so here is the walkthrough i followed :

1. if you have SP2 for Office 2007 installed, DL the hotfix from MS here :
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;969519

(you may have to ask for it and receive link by mail with a password on archive like it was for me, as it was not publicly available last week)

2. install it by using the password emailed to you by MS (I didn't have to reboot after that, but you may have to ...)

3. In the config panel, find the mail icon ('courrier' on my french vista), in order to configure your exchange account as follows :
(3.0. choose the option to configure exchange account)
3.1. disable automatic config
3.2. server address = win.alol.net.br
3.3. disabled using cache
3.4. enter your user name (what is before the "@alol.net.br")
3.5. check name (now that SP2 is installed, you should get the server renamed to WIN.alol.net.br and underlined, and your name change to whatever you filled for 1st and last name, then underlined as well)
3.6. leave all the other (advanced) options as is, if it doesn't work then the problem comes from elsewhere, yu can beleive, i tried nearly any possible combination of these options ;)
3.7. finish the exchange mail configurator and launch outlook (while connected to the internet)

IN OUTLOOK

outlook should configure your account automatically but if it says that it can't open mail folder and that server must be down for maintenance (blablabla) then closes itself, here is what i did :

1. go back to mail option in config panel
2. create a fake address book (i created a mobile phone address book)
3. start outlook
4. once synchronized with exchange (check in the right lower case), delete fake address book
5. close outlook and restart, just to be sure.

I don't know if these last steps will be necessary because when i did them on my tabletpc, in the meantime, the guy from ALOL following my case had opened a second TCP (1038), which is reputed to help solving some connexion problems. So i don't know what trick worked, but now it works from my ppc, from my desktop and from my tablet.

Hope it can help other uses.


For informations ALOL = america latina on line - it seems to be an official ISP provider in brazil, but i don't know if it could be a proof of security for our informations. (in fact, what about what we knew from mail2web ?? In my case, i know alol as well as mail2web on the subject of the security of my data)

cheers.

it is rare when i can bring a contribution that no one have already done, so when i can....

in fact, i learned so much more from xda-dev than what i have to teach...

[vcdwelt]

Have found some INformations about alol. They are from Brazilia --> http://www.alol.com.br/acesso/robo/

Don't understand the Language, but it seems is an Brazil Internet Provider...

[armour_infantry]

the ms hotfix din work on my sp1 hehe

now i'm gonna upgrade ms office on my machine to sp2 and try ur method and see how things go again

[miguelfp1]

basically it's a Brazilian ISP, founded in January, 2000, and one of their broadband pioneers...

at least it's free and it works :p , thanks to the OP for posting!

One question to you guys:

Are you running the Windows 7 RC??? Or just Vista? Because I think these issues might be related to Windows 7. Thanks.

Oh that happened to me too. Go to the exchange settings (on your phone) and then make sure to uncheck the secure SSL server box thing. Then finish the settings and click sync. It will ask you if you want to be secure or whatever, and say yes.

Those are general instructions, but you should be able to figure it out. That's what worked for me.

[lezink]

One question to you guys:

Nope. I had it working on Windows 7 RC but I had to reinstall VISTA because of The journal Windows not opening and all my Work notes Taken with it.

[ace10134]

Nope. I had it working on Windows 7 RC but I had to reinstall VISTA because of The journal Windows not opening and all my Work notes Taken with it.

Well I had it working with Windows 7 but then it stopped working randomly. It said the exchange server was "Disconnected". I tried a bunch of things and nothing worked. This was on Outlook SP1

Now I re-installed Outlook and am on Outlook SP2. It gives me this error when trying to open:

Cannot start Microsoft Office Outlook. Cannot open the Outlook window. The set of folders cannot be opened. You must connect to Microsoft Exchange with the current profile before you can syncronize your folders with your offline folder file.

Any ideas? I've been trying at this for hours now.

it's still kind of a beta service... sometimes it stops syncing and just doesn't work (SSL problems - don't know what exactly ), buut it's a great idea.
you can register and than you get a email to join their google group where you can post your problems/questions.
http://groups.google.com/group/massaint-dpush

anyway it's one more solution to push your google mail to your phone, you can't sync your contacts and calendar.
it's still beta as all the other services out there :)

Now, I am back on WM7 as i found a way to have the journal working !
(and i must say that's good news for tablet users as the handwriting recognition is far far better in wm7 than in vista, and the GUI is more stylus friendly than vista too).

For now, that's to say since yesterday afternoon, I had no problem syncing my tablet (WM7) with alol exchange service, either from 3G+ (blackstone as modem) or from home (ADSL). It just works everytime and realtime (I added an appointment from blackstone, and it was automatically and immediately sync'd on tablet and on home desktop as well).

I received several mails too this morning on blackstone and on tablet in the mean time.

The only drawback, that is not intended to WM7 but to outlook (or the way i managed to configure it, to say it all), is that I have no access to my PIM datas (on tablet which is not always connected) when exchange is disconnected (that's to say = when there is no internet connection). IF SOMEONE COULD HELP, THAT WOULD BE GREAT ;)

Try to use without ssl connection. Or enter in https://win.alol.net.br and get the certficate file and copy to your phone and run the certificate file .cer.
Both options work to me, I am using now with certificate. Its work great! :D

I put the certificate in a zip file and uploaded for you! :)

He already got it working by disabling the SSL connection a week ago or so.

And I would use the certificate that you posted (thanks for finding that, by the way), but with the frequency that I flash new ROM's, it's just not worth re-installing it every time. I bet others will find it helpful though!

Oh and could the original poster of this thread update the thread so that it includes the cercificate file that Leandro just posted? Thanks!

Hello all, i'm noob in direct push techology. I really wanna try alol service, it looks like very good service, especially with 1GB storage and 100MB attachement. I have few questions before i'm using this service:
1. How does alol service and wm6.1 syncronizations work?
2. How can I receive pushmail in my XDA2, is there any "howto"?
3. Should I use Office 2007? or maybe there is an update for my outlook2003 for using alol pushmail service?
4. howto bring my yahoomail, gmail and hotmail using Alol service?

Right now I'm using office 2003 on WinXPSP3 and wm6.1 on xda2.
I hope you can answer my questions.
Thank you guys:)

It works through an Exchange server, which is what large companies use to send and recieve emails. Basically, it's just like your gmail but it supports syncronization of your E-Mail, Contacts, Calendar, and Tasks, all over the air without plugging in your phone. And it's all synced real-time which means any changes made on one device are "pushed" to the other device, instantly.
Any Windows Mobile phone can recieve push e-mail via an Exchange server, so yes, your phone will work with it. When you sign up, they send you the settings that you have to enter. All you gotta do on your phone (after you sign up for the account) is go to Start -> Programs -> ActiveSync, and set up a new server under the Menu option. Follow the set-up there, and use the settings that they e-mailed to you. Make sure to uncheck the "Secure SSL Connection" box while setting it up, and then when you first try syncing, it will say that it needs to enforce security measures, say OK. Oh, and you need a data plan or internet access of course :)
Outlook 2003 should work fine. It should install any necessary updates if there are any needed ones. If it doesn't work properly, just ask us.
Well, you can set up your yahoo, gmail, and hotmail accounts to Foward mail to your @alol.net.br account. Then you will recieve the messages on your devices, but you can't reply to them from your yahoo account. All replies will be sent via your @alol account. If you need some help on how to get your mail forwarded, just ask us again.

Guyz,

Thaks so much for sharing info about this free exchange host. I have synced my winmo 6.1 with it and with help from this thread it works great.

I have only problem with connecting my desktop outlook 2007 to Ex 2007. I did anything described here by lezink:

-------------------------------------------------------

3. In the config panel, find the mail icon ('courrier' on my french vista), in order to configure your exchange account as follows :
(3.0. choose the option to configure exchange account)

3.6. leave all the other (advanced) options as is, if it doesn't work then the problem comes from elsewhere, yu can beleive, i tried nearly any possible combination of these options
3.7. finish the exchange mail configurator and launch outlook (while connected to the internet)

-----------------------------------------------------------

But I stop in 3.5 when I click check name - I have error - Cannot complete action. Cannot combine name with names on address list.

I have Outlook 2007 with sp2 and also I have installed hotfix provided here - I spent few hours giving endless combinations of name (with @alol.net.br and without) - but it just doesn't work.

I can log in to OWA and it syncs with my winmo6.1 - any ideas how to get it to work with xp and outlook 2007

As you applied the hotfix and (i assume) you are connected to Internet, did you try to disable your firewall, just to see if it is faulty.

Otherwise, try to start from scratch with a new outlook profile (in config panel > mail)

Other than that, I don't really know, but now that Leandro is active on the thread, maybe he will be able to help you.

To leandro > thanx again for helping when i was in trouble with outlook'07

lezink,

thanks for prompt reply - now I spent another few hours with no result - of course I tried disable firewall, av - I have also tried to connect from another comp in my home with same result - this is exact error I recieve:

The action could not be completed. The name could not be matched to a name in the address list.

I read that it may be smth with permissions do Address Book so I gave full access - but again - not success.

I really need help...

did u try to create a fake address book in outlook ?

send a mail to alol (via OWA) maybe they can help :it seems that you are not recognized.
you got the login form ?? if not you could try to force ssl in adv.settings

[ace10134]

EDIT: Exchange server is back UP!

Is anyone else's Exchange not connecting? Mine doesn't work on my PC or on my phone. Seems like they must be working on it right now.

Their website (http://www.alol.net.br/) is down too. This sucks. Hope they get it fixed soon.

Yes I have login form, I have also tried to create fake address book, but I don't know if Iam following your precedure (I tried to rename and add some addresses in general adress book which ends .wab and also tried to add some fake book as import to outlook - how exactly you did this step).

I am bit tired of this and, I wrote to Alol support and waiting for answer also - anyone have any ideas?

No one didn't face same difficulitu with "name could not be matched to a name in the address list"?

[Navigare]

Did you use following address to contact alol suppor - I could not find anything in owa (this address is from contact on their website).

atendimento AT alol.com.br

[lezink]

address book : i created a fake 'mobile phone' book

for contact mail i used monitoralol@alol.net.br
(found at bottom of activation message)

[Navigare]

They just contacted me - it was issue on their side (propably I was hidden in GAL) - now it works like charm! Thanks for suggestions!

[Navigare]

I think their server is down again. OWA doesn't work either.

[ace10134]

EDIT: Exchange server is back UP!

EDIT: Well that was a very short outage, since it went back up the second I posted the message! Yay!

[Navigare]

I can confirm it was short malfunction. I have another question regarding Exchange - I don't know how much you take care about your data, but I use Outlook from years I need all my email, taks, calendars etc in one piece.

Here we have this issue with ost file instead of normal pst. From what I searched it should be exact copy of outlook data (same like this on Exchange) storaged locally at out pc hard disc.

In fact it isn't - ost work as long as you are connected to Exchange, if they go down for good, or make some changes in their policy (monthly fee etc) we can lost all our data. This is MS policy for preventing data fraud (ex employee fired from work wants backup all company email and so on). It is not possible to change default location of data from Exchange to local pst cos this option is greyed out (server admin issue) and ost>pst converters are expensive and do not work always.

I have managed to solve issue with mail by creating rule that moves all send and incoming mails to specific, pst based folder - but I don't know how can I do this with contacts, calendars, tasks etc.

Anyone has same data security concerns? Is it possible to make rules for every created data, task entry to move it auto to pst based folder (copy), or anyone tried to get his data in pst file instead of alol exchange?

[lezink]

I can confirm it was short malfunction. I have another question regarding Exchange - I don't know how much you take care about your data, but I use Outlook from years I need all my email, taks, calendars etc in one piece.

Here we have this issue with ost file instead of normal pst. From what I searched it should be exact copy of outlook data (same like this on Exchange) storaged locally at out pc hard disc.

In fact it isn't - ost work as long as you are connected to Exchange, if they go down for good, or make some changes in their policy (monthly fee etc) we can lost all our data. This is MS policy for preventing data fraud (ex employee fired from work wants backup all company email and so on). It is not possible to change default location of data from Exchange to local pst cos this option is greyed out (server admin issue) and ost>pst converters are expensive and do not work always.

It comes nearly to the problem i mentionned in an early post : how to have my pim data available when not connected to exchange ? for instance, a copy (pst) of the ost data hosted on exchange server. I have no clue about that for now, unfortunately.

Concerning the specific case of not losing data in case of month fee or unavailability of server, couldn't it be possible to make a backup of the whole pim data, say every week, for example ?

Dude, ALOL doesn't work with my new Palm Pre :confused: It's cuz of the security certificate issue. I tried putting the certificate on the phone, but it won't recognize it. Dude this really sucks. Well I guess I'll be returning the Pre, unless you guys have any ideas?

[Kirbysuperstar]

Can't register at the moment, "insufficient system resources".

I'm using it for some weeks now. Firstly outlook 2007 didn't work, but somehow it works now :D

try to uncheck the ssl option

[ace10134]

yeaaa the Pre is too advanced to have an option to not use SSL, lol. The Pre sucks, It doesn't even have a file explorer!

Oh and I even have the certificate installed, but that doesn't do a thing, for some reason.

[Navigare]

Did you know that they plan to stay with this service for free (holding it only from donations) - I just recieved email from their support.

Do you have also "Use above settings when roaming" in Schedule>Activesync unticked and greyed out?

I made some search and it looks that this option set by Exchange 2007 server admin and it's not possible to change it? Anyone had issue with this?

Thanks for the advise.

Yes, go to your hotmail account online, go to Options, and then More Options, and there's an E-Mail fowarding option.

Fowarding Instructions


Go to mail.live.com
Sign in
Click Options
Click More options
Click Foward mail to another e-mail account
Choose the Foward your mail to another e-mail account option
Type in your @alol.net.br account in the text box
Click Save
Close out of the window, and your mail will be forwarded!
You can choose an option to keep copies of the forwarded messages in your hotmail account, I would choose that option


Enjoy!

ohhh yea hotmail or live accounts won't forward to our domain for some reason. @msn accounts forward just fine though. idk, i guess it won't forward ever. That sucks.

Yeah, this option (and many others) can be disabled by the security policy set up on the Exchange server, and this is the case here.
Kinda sucks when the phone sets the roaming status even when registered in the home network though (like in my case) :(



Also, I'm shocked by how often it's mentioned in this thread to go without SSL instead of getting the certificate to work.
You do realize that this way your password will be sent unencrypted, right?
You never know who's listening in on the traffic going over open wifi networks.

When you go in without SSL, it comes up with a message that requires you to accept some security policies, so there is security that you don't know about.

[jjm34]

When you go in without SSL, it comes up with a message that requires you to accept some security policies, so there is security that you don't know about.

Oh no, not at all. These are security policies that contain settings for your device, like whether a device lock password or storage card encryption is required, whether it's allowed to access the device camera, Wi-Fi, storage card, stuff like that. In this case, the security policy disables the ability to automatically sync when roaming.
These settings are configured by the Exchange server administrator in order to protect corporate information; they do not add encryption to the Exchange ActiveSync protocol, and they will be applied whether you are using SSL or not.

Of course, if you know what you're doing (like not using public networks to connect to Exchange, or connecting through an encrypted tunnel) you can disable SSL; unfortunately, most users probably don't know what they're doing and don't understand the implications of clearing the SSL checkbox. This is not the proper way to get this to work.

So please save yourself the trouble of someone else possibly gaining access to your account and do it the proper, SSL-encrypted way, by installing the security certificates on your device.

I have used in the past mail2web. It was good reliable service on PDA but you could not connect with Desktop outlook. Therefore I have not sync. PIM information and just used for push email.

After the free service has been cancelled I start to use MS live.
Be frank it was a big pain in the Axx. Compare to a Exchange service. Sometimes it doesn’t sync at all. Sometimes mail arrives late. But then sometimes no problem at all. However if you don’t have a good connection it leads you high data transfer and higher battery consumption.
Of course you have no possibility to sync Calendar, task, etc.

Now since one week I use “Alol.net.br.” Be frank I think it is very very good!! Better then mail2web which was Exchange 2003
The Service guys are just perfect. If any issues..send email and they usually answer under 2 hours

Besides after some difficulties( try 3 days :mad: ) I can also connect my Desktop outlook. Now I can Sync all my Desktop PIM which will be then Air sync to hand device. In this one week I barely use ActiveSync or connect my WinMo to my Desktop.. very very happy!!!!! One small thing maybe the "@alol.net.br" seems long to remember for some.. just "@alol.com" would have been great. Anyhow will sure donate some cash to those guys.

[Bulldog]

Well I had it working with Windows 7 but then it stopped working randomly. It said the exchange server was "Disconnected". I tried a bunch of things and nothing worked. This was on Outlook SP1

Now I re-installed Outlook and am on Outlook SP2. It gives me this error when trying to open:Cannot start Microsoft Office Outlook. Cannot open the Outlook window. The set of folders cannot be opened. You must connect to Microsoft Exchange with the current profile before you can syncronize your folders with your offline folder file.Any ideas? I've been trying at this for hours now.

Outlook and exchange server are usually communicating trough port 135. Most of the ISP’s are blocking those ports. Therefore please check whether your port 135 is open. Other good trick to use to see whether the issue come from your Ports or whether you have some issues with your outlook is to use your WinMO to connect your desktop to internet. (Internet sharing)

I got my emails like normal. It could have been out for a little, but once it comes back up (it's up now), your emails that you missed will come in.

[lostcausenjtown]

Yeah it was down earlier. Everything is just peachy now. Great service.

[dolkin]

Good service..... It's really fantastic, but i've a little problem, i can't manage my directory from my Pharos. The option to manage directory is grayed :(

I want to sync personalized email directory and actually it's not possible :(

With mail2web, it's working, but not with alol. At the first sync with alol, my device tell me to accept new policies, do you think this policies block directory management ?

[tesna]

Well, the service was working fine until today, my last email received is from 6 hours ago. I tried to manually send from yahoo and gmail but the email still not come up in alol inbox.

The strange thing is if I send it to outside (from alol outlook/webmail interface) to yahoo/gmail the mail is delivered to my yahoo/gmail inbox. Strange....

You HAVE to accept the security policies upon first sync. That's probably your issue. Try it again, you might have to remove and then re-configure Exchange in order for that pop-up to appear again.

Yea, it seems like it was down for maintainince again. But the good thing is that once the server comes back up, all of your missed emails will stream right in, so you don't have to worry that you missed anything!

[Sergio PC]

Yep its down. I messed with the setting for ages before I read that you fellas are also getting black outs.
But... we cant really complain, we get free exchange! and that's great:D.

ah finally. I just finished setting up z-push on my server (active sync bridge to imap-push), just in case if alol.net.br won't be coming back up. But I found out the memory usage on the server goes through the roof :eek: No way I'm keeping that on my server.

[ace10134]

EDIT: Exchange server is back UP!

Seems like Exchange is down again. I'll post back when they get it working again. I wonder why it always goes down!

It's back now. Yep, like every few days or each week. Idk if I like this...

Wow cool! Do you think you could let me into it? Plz? That would be awesome!!

[zotero]

i have to ask this: why dont u guys just use pocket outlook, snycing it every 10 minutes or so?!? where is the big disadvantage?

[mr.vandalay]

Wow cool! Do you think you could let me into it? Plz? That would be awesome!!

our server is in my friends home and his internet connection is 8 mbits/s download which is good but his upload is 512 kbits/s which is not that good... so when you're downloading your mail you can download it with 50kb/s speed :( in other words if you want to download 2mb attachment you have to wait ~40 seconds!

however once we get everything in order... right now we are trying to get zimbra working on linux os (ubuntu) so that we can decide which is better... (zimbra has some nice features) i'll contact you so you can use our service if you still want to :)

also we don't have our own domain jet, we are using *.podzone.net domain...

i'll pm you once we're done... however i don't think that we can except more users at this time because of slow internet connection... he also uses that connection for everything else (downloading ,surfing..)

btw. with exchange everything works perfectly contacts, mail , calendar and tasks... mail arrives instantly!

[ace10134]

i have to ask this: why dont u guys just use pocket outlook, snycing it every 10 minutes or so?!? where is the big disadvantage?

Huh? You mean not use Exchange?

Many reasons:


Push Mail - Instant delivery of messages
Calendar, Contacts, and Tasks are synced - A must for many people
And it's perfect for restoring our phones when we flash a new ROM

[CWKJ]

Thanks. Has been searching for a free exchange since mail2web start to charge.

[tommytao]

Why there's no "Tasks" sync ?

[ace10134]

It should sync tasks too. Is it not syncing your tasks, or are you saying that I forgot about Tasks when saying what Exchange does?

You're using Outlook Web Access Light, it looks like. The full version will have a Tasks option. Also, you computer and your phone will sync tasks. Sorry for the not-so-quick reply, I was sleepin, lol. Here's what Outlook Web Access - Full Version looks like: You can get into the full version when logging in, you have the option of full or lite.

Sorry for the low quality image, XDA compressed it I guess. But the Tasks are at the bottom left.

Don't think that using two exchange servers is possible, except on the Palm Pre, but that's not a Windows Mobile phone. It's amusing how the Palm Pre can use infinite Exchange servers, but then a computer is still limited to one!

But no, you can't use two, as far as I know.

When using Outlook Web Access you better use IE as the full OWA site is only available with IE, it's much much better than with any other browser. Only with Exchange 2010 will Firefox and Safari be fully supported as well.

[Bulldog]

I just saw when you make donation then you can change the setting "From" by sending and replying emails.
That would means the receiver of the mails will see your "main email adress" and ofcourse if the receiver reply then you will get it in you "main email" did anyone has try that?? any feedback???

I made a donation $30 and received a mail from monitoralol@alol.net.br asking me which my address to change "FROM" I tell my gmail. And in my gmail I configured to forward all mails to my alol.net.br mail and now I am so HAPPY :D support ALOL is very Greats and fast.

[Bib_x]

I get a wired error message:

When i send an email from my webfrontend of my email-account (germany, arcor.de) i can send mails to alol.net.br.

When i send an email with thunderbird from arcor.de to alol.net.br i get an error message back: can´t deliver mail because of spam


This error message only cames back, when i send the mail over the arcor-smtp-server. Today i tested in my work, same Thunderbird-Client (Thunderbird-Portable) but over my smtp-server in work, an now i can receive the mails.



If i delete an email from my ppc, why won´t this be deleted on my alol.net.br-account to? I tested this several times, but the mails i deletetd on my ppc were never deletetd from my account, only from the mobile device.

[Bib_x]

Which folders will be synced on my PPC? Can i sync all my folders, including SPAM, Deleted items, and self created subfolders?

[ace10134]

Which folders will be synced on my PPC? Can i sync all my folders, including SPAM, Deleted items, and self created subfolders?


Deleted Items - NOT synced
Drafts - NOT synced
Junk E-Mail - NOT synced
SubFolders - Probably not, then


But, any other service isn't gonna sync those either. An Exchange server is the best it gets.

[stathis95194]

It's working like a charm. I just sent a donation for $10 with instructions to change my "FROM" address to my gmail account. I received a confirmation from alol.net.br just a few minutes after i sent the donation leting me know that the change had been done.

Just tried it from my imate ultimate and voila, the from address is my gmail address.

Thanks alol.net.br for a great service

[Bulldog]

Which folders will be synced on my PPC? Can i sync all my folders, including SPAM, Deleted items, and self created subfolders?

All folders can be sync. To do so in your ppc choose Inbox-->Menu-->Tools-->Manage Folders--> then choose folders that you wanted to sync

[Bib_x]

All folders can be sync. To do so in your ppc choose Inbox-->Menu-->Tools-->Manage Folders--> then choose folders that you wanted to sync

I tested this, but the folders will not be synced. I can only choose deleted items and sent mails. but they won´t be synced.

[Bib_x]

Can i sync with my Desktop Outlook 2003 too? Or do i have to use Outlook 2007 SP2?

[ohyeahar]

This is indeed a great service. The donation is well worth it. They changed the "From" address and added back the 1GB storage and 100MB attachment just a couple minutes after my donation.

It syncs with desktop Outlook 2003. But for me, I don't do it because somehow, every email my desktop Outlook retrieves, it removes the email from the server and there's no way to get it back. So, I only use my phone to connect to the exchange server (which doesn't experience the same problem). This may just be a problem with some of my settings. If anyone knows how to fix this, I'd really appreciate it.

[Bib_x]

Can i sync my notes too?

[ace10134]

Don't think so.

[Bulldog]

I tested this, but the folders will not be synced. I can only choose deleted items and sent mails. but they won´t be synced.

Mhmmm I have no idea why you cant but on my side no problem with other folder sync. Outlook 2003 is just fine for Sync. Notes cant be sync.

[Bib_x]

If i send a mail from my mobile phone, i can see the sent mail in the folder on the web-frontend. The folder sent mail on my mobile phone is empty.

If i delete a mail, i can see the mail in the folder in the web-frontend, but again my folder on mobile phone is emty. With self created folders it´s the same.


So the folders are synced, but only in one way. On my mobile phone only my inbox is synced.

[ohyeahar]

If you go to "Manage folders" in the mail app, you can check your Sent folder. This will sync that folder. It is two way. What I send on my mobile is visible in the web outlook. I've sent in web outlook is visible on my mobile.
The delete folder appears to be 1 way sync. What you delete on your mobile will be deleted on the server. But the web outlook's delete folder's contents will not show up on the mobile.

[Bib_x]

Yes you are right. Now i can see my sent mails on my ppc too.


Can i access with IMAP to this exchange account?

[ace10134]

Yes you are right. Now i can see my sent mails on my ppc too.


Can i access with IMAP to this exchange account?

Set up your IMAP account to foward the mail to your @alol.net.br account. That's the best you can do.

And if you donate to ALOL, then your exchange account can appear as your IMAP account (a.k.a. It'll look like it's actually sending from your IMAP account). So that's the best option, foward mail and donate to ALOL.

[Bib_x]

Yes, i know that already. I have all my former email-adresses forwarded to the alol.net.br-account.


But i still have one problem:

I´m from germany and it seems, that german-providers mark this brasilian-account as spam. I sent a few test-mails to my other (german) email-accounts and in two accounts the mail was declared as spam.

I sent a simple html mail with only a few words for testing. No picture, only "test test test".

If i let change my email-adress-name, will the german email-accounts still declare my exchange-adress as spam? I think, german accounts are set to declare asian and south-american mails as probably spam.

Anyone has this problems too?

This really sucks.

So i only can use this account for receiving mails and i have to send my own mails through my former e-mail account.

I found out, how to sync your own folders:

I use a german vista, don´t know the english names of the things...

-open Vista Mobile Device Center
-click on the last entry (maybe settings of your mobile phone)
-click on first entry (maybe settings for sync)
-click on email--settings for sync
-click on last entry (maybe choose folders to sync)
--> now you can choose all your own folders to sync

I tried and it works!

I've got this working with Outlook 2007 SP2 but when I added the Exchange Server to Outlook 2010, Outlook no longer loads up. It fails, even when trying to start in Safe Mode.

It still won't open even once the Server details are deleted.

Anyone else experienced this problem?

Works really well unless you're using the Office 2010 beta it seems. Really finding this useful for keeping my calendar and contacts in sync. I still use the Seven beta program for my push email - too much hassel to change from my Yahoo! account of 7 years!

Idk, I haven't used the Outlook 2010 beta for a while. It had too many issues and lots of bugs. I'd recommend just downgrading to 2007. Sure 2010 has some nice threaded e-mails, but I think it still deletes your e-mails when you read them, for some reason. I can't help you with getting 2010 set up, either. Heck, I had trouble just getting Exchange to work with 2007!! That was tough enough. I didn't need more Beta issues screwing it up.

Outlook 2010 is awesome; I cannot wait until it moves into Beta and out of Tech Preview. Accross the board, Office 2010 provides some really nice little touches to make me definitiely want to purchase it and upgrade my 2007 system. [FYI - it doesn't delete any emails. If you mean they disappear off the server then try unchecking the "delete from server" option in the Advanced Settings of Account Setup just as per all versions Outlook. Alternatively, don't click the "Clean Up Conversation" option. Don't think that bit is quite nailed down yet.]

I've currently downgraded back to 2007 and alol is working like a charm. Anyone reading this thread and wondering if they should go with it, do it! If you've not used Exchange before you'll be amazed. The whole experience is seemless: Calendar, contacts, tasks everywhere. If you're happy to change email address as well, hell you'll even get you're mail pushed to you and maintain a sensible folder structure.

Well recommedened!

update: from now on, new alol.net.br signers will only get 150MB storage and 25MB attachments.

i got one before this change. 1gb space/100mb attach

[JohnQ]

It's working like a charm. I just sent a donation for $10 with instructions to change my "FROM" address to my gmail account. I received a confirmation from alol.net.br just a few minutes after i sent the donation leting me know that the change had been done.

Just tried it from my imate ultimate and voila, the from address is my gmail address.

Thanks alol.net.br for a great service


only 1 email as "from " address? can it be change freely? or only one and can not change back to alol address? thanks

[JohnQ]

i got a reply from alol.net.br admin.
said can donate any value as we want. can change one "from" adress one time. if you need to change again. no need to donate again. just send him an email

[mindfrost82]

I love this service so far. I donated and changed my From address as well.

Has anyone had any problems with US ISPs completely rejecting mail though? Its not even being marked as spam, its just completely rejecting it.

I've had returns from:
@prodigy.net
@att.net
@verizon.net
@aol.com

att.net and prodigy.net seem to have them blacklisted for abuse:
att.net #521-200.169.217.120 blocked by sbc:blacklist.mailrelay.att.net. 521 DNSRBL: Blocked for abuse. See http://att.net/blocks ##

I sent an email off to the alol.net.br admin, so hopefully they can work something out.

[powersquad]

Signed up last night. Account was activated in ~ 8hours. All set up and working to receieve push emails :)

Great service.

[Navigare]

Here in Poland most ISP's are rejecting alol.net.br emails also - so I cannot send antyhing via Exchange, only from my IMAP.

I hope these great Guyz from Alol support will figure out something soon.

I contacted them with the ISP's that were blocking them along with a copy of the rejection reason from the ISP.

They contacted them and got off their blacklist and even sent me a copy of the email they got from the ISP.

Of course, their server seems to be down right now :( The first outage I've seen since I started using it a month ago.

[Bib_x]

I can confirm, that the server is down partialy since a few days.

Do you get a mail from the servers back, which are blocking alol.net.br or where do you get the information, that alol.net.br was on their blacklist?

Server seems to be down right now. Once the server comes back up, all of your missed mail streams in, so no worries.

Yeah, I was getting returned mail with a message like "alol.net.br is blacklisted" or something similar. I only had a couple ISPs blocking them.

[mindfrost82]

Their server appears to be down again :(

Well I'm occassionally getting emails to my phone, but Outlook still isn't connecting and I still can't get to Outlook Web Access.

[ace10134]

Server is UP again.

Not a good day today :( But it came back :) But it went back down :( Now back up again and time for bed :)

[powersquad]

Exchange Server is now UP

[ace10134]

Exchange Server is now DOWN

it's up, edit yours :)

[MLonon]

Lol, whoops! Nevermind, my data connections was down again. Everything is fine now. Sorry, I will just go back to lurking now.....

Hi, Lurker here. I just registered and donated. Got the response that everything was set up (damn that was fast!). However, Activesync will not connect, it just says "Synchronizing" until it times out.

Does anyone know if ATT is blocking alol.net.br? The only other cause I can think of is that I installed the certificate from the first post BEFORE I set up the account but I do not think that would effect the basic connection. Help please?!


BTW, I have and unbranded HTC TyTN II with everything stock.

[Bib_x]

How much did you all donate to change your email-adress?

Is 5 US-$ ok or is this donation too small?

[MLonon]

When you click on the Donate button it auto sets the amount to $10. I am guess in they consider that to be fair so I went with it. $10 is not bad.

mhmm funny, suddenly I cant access with firefox but IE seams fine. I did not change anything at all.

[ace10134]

mhmm funny, suddenly I cant access with firefox but IE seams fine. I did not change anything at all.

It works better through IE, anyways, I think.

[mindfrost82]

I've always used IE to access it too. I think OWA is made for IE. You could always try the IE tab plugin for Firefox too.

As far as the donation, I believe I did $10 too.

Except for the 2 recent outages, its been very reliable for me and a great service and I'm glad they offer it for free (even though I like the perks of the donations too).

According to their support, the 2 outages were related to a hardware upgrade, and all emails were queued and delivered when the server came back up.

Yea, we get like 2-5 outages each month. But it's not that big of an issue, because all of your missed e-mails stream in once it comes back. You will NOT miss any e-mails.

[Shadowman19]

On the page, it says that after donating there is the possibility to change the "From:" when sending or replying. Is there a possibility, like at Gmail, that "From:" is automatically set to the email the original mail was sent to?

Like if I forward my GMX account to alol, I want to have my GMX-address as From for all emails that I reply to which were sent to my GMX adress. Is that possible?

Thanks in advance :)

[Bulldog]

Shadowman, Yes donating money and choosing your own email adress for "from" will appear as the mail comes from your own GMX email account and the receiver of the mails will ofcourse reply to email that is "from" (your own)

[Shadowman19]

Thanks for your reply, but I think that is not exactly what I wanted to know, sorry for having been unprecise.

I have several adresses and I forward all to the ALOL account. Now if I get an email to adress A and I reply to that via ALOL, I want the adress A as From. If I get an email to adress B, which is forwarded to ALOL and to which I reply via ALOL, I want adress B as From. This works with Momail, Gmail, .., they know to which adress the original mail was sent and automatically select the right From.

Would be so great if that was possible with ALOL too :)

Do people reckon Alol will be upgrading to Exchange 2010? Really want to have a play with the new version of Pocket Outlook/ Outlook Live but it only supports Exchange 2010.

[ace10134]

Windows Mobile 6.5 works with ALOL, if that's what you mean.

[dom_mitchell1]

Not what I meant. I've been using wm6.5 for months now (currently on Dutty's Leo R2). I meant the new version of Pocket Outlook (now called Outlook Live). Outlook on our devices can be updated OTA to contain the new features that were demoed and discussed as the time of the Office 2010 Tech Preview release. However this update only takes place if you are using Exchange 2010.

A few details here (http://wmpoweruser.com/?p=7109).

[akito]

I'm providing it for free. But on a Exchange 2003 server. You can have your reply-address set to any address you wish, so to the recipient it seems like you're using your regular mail address. I'm doing this in my spare time, so it's free (though donations are appreciated ;))

[Bib_x]

@akito:

Which domain do you have for your service? Because some providers block mails from this free exchange alol.net.br even you have changed the reply-adress to your own.

I have installed outlook 2007 and the sp2.

Do i have any other patch for outlook or is sp2 all i have to install?

Getting this up and running on the PC seems a little hit and miss.

I had no problems at all setting alol up to run one my Windows 7 RC using Outlook 2010 Tech Preview; since downgrading to Outlook 2007 SP2 on the same machine there are still no problems.

I cannot get alol to work on my Windows 7 RC laptop running Outlook 2007 SP2 though (no idea why) and I've tried to get a seperate account set up for someone else on a Vista SP1 laptop running Outlook 2007 SP2; but that seemed to be a no-go as well.

I've had no problems with Activesync on both WM 6.1 and 6.5 devices though.

[JohnQ]

its strange.
in the past 3 months , i sync the alol server through PC outloook 2003 is working like a charm. but since the last week, it always failed to connect with alol server. does alol block outlook 2003 users?

PS: my WM phone is no problem of syncing with alol server.

ALOL has changed the IP address for the win.alol.net.br. before it was 200.169.217.120 now it is 200.169.217.117.... see whether that will help you?? Beside make sure your ISP/or firewall doesnt block ports like 135.....139

Have you checked whether your 135...139 ports open? To check whether you have issues with your ports or with Outlook itself there is 2 ways:

1)Use your Mobile device to connect your PC to Internet(connection sharing)
2)use the free VPN service by http://anchorfree.com to see whether you can connect with it

[neo24]

ALOL - offers now on the homepage the exchange 2003 support only for a donation - probably thats the problem ??

Greetings ...

[mindfrost82]

Its been working fine for me. Occasionally it seems to time out on my desktop, but it'll connect after a little while.

I have it setup on my WM phone, on Outlook 2003 on XP, and on Outlook 2007 on Windows 7.

[JohnQ]

it's just suddently failed to connect using outlook 2003. in the past 3 months, there was no problem. what should i do? do i have to updating outlook to 2007? that would be ok?

Update to Outlook 2007, or donate to ALOL. They said on their homepage that if you want to still use Outlook 2003, you would have to donate.

[JohnQ]

oh i see, thank you ace10134

Im having the exact same issue, i think its ISP related.

[ace10134]

Im having the exact same issue, i think its ISP related.

We just said it was because ALOL is phasing out support for the old Outlook 2003. If you want to still use your old software, all they ask for is a donation, and then you're back in commission.

[chipsgear]

All,
I have been using this service for about a week now on my phone. It is great! It also works on Outlook 2007 if I am not behind any sort of corporate firewall or a hotel that may block certain IP traffic. I have tried and tried to get the alol certificate to install to the Trusted Root of my Vista computer, but it does not work. When I do the import, I get the message stating that the import was successful. But, the certificate does not appear in that particular store. Any help is greatly appreciated as I need the HTTP proxy connection. Thanks for your help!

I had this problem when trying to set up a second pc with Alol. It works fine and I've got it running on Office 2010 TP. I emailed monitor@alol.net.br and they sent me different informationt to put into the 'Name' section. One thing though, you need to have created you Alol account before 8/22/2009.

If want to access your ALOL.Net.br account via Microsoft Outlook place the following in the name form:
/o=ALOL/ou=Exchange Administrative Group(FYDIBOHF23SPDLT)/cn=Recipients/cn=dom_mitchell1
When to ask your login and password just put "dom_mitchell1" and your password.

Obviously that is the name for my account, I don't know if your would be the same but changing the username after the cn= part. Best advice, drop Alol an email at the above address!

Hope this helps; it's allowed me to have it running on both Outlook 2007 SP2 and Outlook 2010 TP across two machines.

are you sure your ports (135..139) not blocked by firewale or from your service provider?? if you wanted to confirm whether you have issue with connection or with outlook it self you could do one thing..connect your computer to net with using your device as modem (internet sharing) then try to connect to alol.

[Bib_x]

My router is an avm fritzbox 7270. My ISP doesn´t block any ports.

I can connect with my mobile phone with wlan to my exchange-account. Isn´t windows mobile outlook using the same ports as normal outlook for desktop-pc?

For my knowledge PPC using different protocol to connect to exchange then PC. Furthermore I am not sure abut your router but port 135 to 139 ports are ussualy blocked by routers and firewales.Therefore you need to make sure you can connect to Alol with your desktop. You might try to ping Alol to see whether you are able to get connection. My previous suggestion using your ppc as modem is also other way to find out that you dont have connection problems on your desktop

Hi all, this is my first post! I have very little knowledge on this area but was able to resolve my problem with the help of this forum.

Thank you very much for this info bliblablub! I was struggling with this for the past 2 days and the solution was here.
I was trying to setup my ALOL free Exchange account in Outlook 2007 and couldn't get the name checked.

I was using "first_name.last_name" for user and was always getting this error message: "Name could not be matched to a name in the Address List".
In my case, the solution was:

Access Outlook Web Access @ http://win.alol.net.br/owa/
Options;
About;
Copy the text after "Exchange mailbox address: "
/o=ALOL/ou=Exchange Administrative Group (ABCDEFGH12ABCDE)/cn=Recipients/cn=first_name.last_name;
Use the text as user and press "Check Name";
DONE! The server and user names should now be underlined

[deedee]

Looks like this has gone the way of mail2web and is now no longer free. :(

[ace10134]

Well do existing customers get to keep their free account? My exchange is still up and running.

But I think that's the point of these...they lure you with the free account, and then over time, when you become more dependant on it, they make you pay :p

[bigchrizzieboy]

Hi, is it possible to configure outlook 2007 on my desktop?
I readed much info in this post and on the internet, maybe i forget something? or it simply doesnt work:confused:
Hoping not for an reaction like: "search":cool: THANKS!

What i've done so far (and found by searching)

Using win.alol.net.br since 04-08-09 on my PDA
- i saw somewhere you needed to be registered before 01-09-09?

Installed the certificate from the first post

- followed the steps under here:
1. if you have SP2 for Office 2007 installed, DL the hotfix from MS here :
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;969519
(was already installed on my computer)
2. install it by using the password emailed to you by MS (I didn't have to reboot after that, but you may have to ...)
3. In the config panel, find the mail icon ('courrier' on my french vista), in order to configure your exchange account as follows :
(3.0. choose the option to configure exchange account)
3.1. disable automatic config
3.2. server address = win.alol.net.br
3.3. disabled using cache
3.4. enter your user name (what is before the "@alol.net.br")
3.5. check name (now that SP2 is installed, you should get the server renamed to WIN.alol.net.br and underlined, and your name change to whatever you filled for 1st and last name, then underlined as well)
3.6. leave all the other (advanced) options as is, if it doesn't work then the problem comes from elsewhere, yu can beleive, i tried nearly any possible combination of these options
3.7. finish the exchange mail configurator and launch outlook (while connected to the internet)
IN OUTLOOK
outlook should configure your account automatically but if it says that it can't open mail folder and that server must be down for maintenance (blablabla) then closes itself, here is what i did :
1. go back to mail option in config panel
2. create a fake address book (i created a mobile phone address book)
3. start outlook
4. once synchronized with exchange (check in the right lower case), delete fake address book
5. close outlook and restart, just to be sure.
I don't know if these last steps will be necessary because when i did them on my tabletpc, in the meantime, the guy from ALOL following my case had opened a second TCP (1038), which is reputed to help solving some connexion problems. So i don't know what trick worked, but now it works from my ppc, from my desktop and from my tablet.

Tried many diffirent exchange adresses & usernames like: http://win.alol.net.br/owa, http://win.alol.net.br/, https://win.alol.net.br/owa, http://win.alol.net.br/owa/cgabakker, etc.
Usernames: cgabakker, cgabakker@win.alol.net.br, /o=ALOL/ou=Exchange Administrative Group (FYDIBOHF23SPDLT)/cn=Recipients/cn=cgabakker

opened ports 135 till 139 on my firewall's switch/norton

Tried to contact monitor@win.alol.net.br but getting an non delivery...

You're my last hope otherwise i'll give it up.

[simplistian]

are you sure that you can sync mail? i know about calendar and contacts.
are you using something like nuevasync?

Google is only providing Calendar and Contacts. Not mail.

Regards

Google does email + calendar + contacts.

http://www.google.com/mobile/products/sync.html#p=winmo

[Bib_x]

Can i sync with googlemail with activesync and pushmail or do i have to install another programm, like syncml (this program i need for pushmail with some non-exchange-accounts)?

@Bib_x
I don't understand... Why do you want to sync a exchange box with google? Best would be to forward all google to alol and get the mails via activesync...
Then you also can use Microsoft Direct-Push

[Bib_x]

I want to send my mails not with my exchange-adress, but with another email-adress.

Can i set up my mobile phone in this way? when i´m in the inbox of my exchangeaccount and click on new mail, there should automatically be used my other (pop3/smtp) mail account as sender.

Receiving mails should run over my exchange account (all other email-accounts are forwarded to the exchange account).

[simplistian]

google offer push mail and calendar and contact via activesync, why forward?

[Bib_x]

But i heard a lot about googlemail forwarding mails not as fast as an real exchange-server.

What about contacts? I don´t want to get all my contacts twice - with exchange there is no problem, all the same software - but what about googlemail?

[piratoes]

Today I´ve got a big Problem.
My PPC won´t sync cause the Certificat on the server is not ok.
The Problem is: There are no Buttons where i can ignore this. On my last Roms there where Popups to force to sync.

Is there a Solution for this Problem?

[piratoes]

Sorry it was my mistake.
I just had to juse the file in Post1.

Greetings.

You must know that Google has now his own push server. With it you can get ur mail by using wap connection.

Connnections details here : http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?answer=138636&topic=14299

You must configurate it as an outlook exchange mail (under active sync) il you want to use the push options.

Specially useful for ppl like me with only wap data connection (french SFR Illimythics).

I have been looking at www.alol.net.br and thinking of singing up, but with the lack of information there one hardly knows exactly what it all involves.

http://win.alol.net.br/simple/

Listed on the above link I am satisfied with what I would receive for a single donation of $10 or the $29.

However, can anyone tell me if I could retain my old email address and use it in this exchange account, or I would be forced to use myname@alol.net.br I can't find information on this.

Thanks.

late reply but with $29 donation, you can change the FROM field of your exchange e-mail address to your old e-mail address..

Hi all, this is my first post! I have very little knowledge on this area but was able to resolve my problem with the help of this forum.

Thank you very much for this info bliblablub! I was struggling with this for the past 2 days and the solution was here.
I was trying to setup my ALOL free Exchange account in Outlook 2007 and couldn't get the name checked.

I was using "first_name.last_name" for user and was always getting this error message: "Name could not be matched to a name in the Address List".
In my case, the solution was:

Access Outlook Web Access @ http://win.alol.net.br/owa/
Options;
About;
Copy the text after "Exchange mailbox address: "
/o=ALOL/ou=Exchange Administrative Group (ABCDEFGH12ABCDE)/cn=Recipients/cn=first_name.last_name;
Use the text as user and press "Check Name";
DONE! The server and user names should now be underlined


THANK YOU! That solved my issue too....now I'm getting Exchange to work in Outlook 2010 on my new Tablet PC! I wish exchange was as easy to configure as it is on our WinMo phones though, hah.

If anyone else is having issues configuring Exchange for Outlook on their PC, do what he said above!

they were good for the time they lasted. and i paid the 10 bucks for the premium so it was actually great for me
lets hope they didnt take our money and run.

[Bib_x]

I use web-frontend (OWA) - no problems in the last few days.

okay. got a reply from alol webmaster. my isp is not updated to their new ip and keeps attempting thier old one. i was hoping i was doing something wrong and it wasnt their server. now i just have to figure out how to update my ISP to see thier new ip.

update
using my phone as a router i have access... using my verizon broadband at home i get no access to the website.

[boricua022]

I here you. I paid $24 and only lasted 3 days before the shut-down. One thing i did find odd is that, when you go online to there website www.alol.net.br (http://www.alol.net.br) using a pc, it won't connect as if the website is down. but when i used my Fuze to go to the site, i was able to log in.


Edit: I forgot to mention that I havn't heard anything from the email i sent them :(

[Bib_x]

The service isn´t down. They only changed their IP.

So i think your internet provider hasn´t updated its dns-server.



I can connect to alol without problems.

very correct. thats what i was saying in my other post.

[boricua022]

Glad that finally Verizon FIOS updated there dns server. Its been 2 weeks that i been without push email and had to rely on regular email. Guess i was spoiled with push :D

[signothefish]

Looks like their service is down. I can't connect to their server through Outlook or OWA.

[Bib_x]

They are online again.

[camro]

only a tip/hint...
try schedhandler (only INSTANT EMAIL via IMAP IDLE).
the new version 3.0 is for now NonPublic, because i'm not ready with the manuals(videos) + HP is under construction, but i know, that it is working VERY good and a lot of users are happy with it.
(you'll find it -> search for *SchedHandler*)
(if someone is interessted to test -> PM me)

I tried these ALOL folks out for awhile. For the small donation I have to agree it wasn't all that bad. However, I was interested in something of better quality, even if I had to pay a little for it. ALOL just wasn't pushing it on time all the time. So I bumped around and the cheapest I could find was the Zimbra Collaboration Suite for $4 a month. I bit the bullet and haven't looked back since. Signed up a colleague after he also used ALOL for 1 month and he isn't looking back either. http://www.squeaksoft.com/ Absolutely no complaints so far. If you can live without phone support and rely on email support, and $4 is within your budget, then follow me.

[stevefg]

Any one know the link to sign up for this.

[clevergirl]

IIRC there used to be the owa login, ads and a link to signup on alol.net.br
Now my old account still works, but it seems this link and the ads disappeared, so they probably stopped taking new registrations?

Mates, is this real? ^^ Somehow I can't get the intention from the text...
Why do they speak of a "symbolic" annual rate?!

Warning of Annual Rate!
Monitor ALOL

Dear customers,

For some years, we provide a free email service, which has always been funded through donations. Unfortunately, due to operating costs, it became impossible to continue providing the service for free.

From now on, we inform you that the our Exchange service is going to be charged an a annual and symbolic rate, of $24.99, which is necessary to keep the service. The value, if compared to other similar services, is only symbolic.

Those who are interested in continuing to have the our Exchange service, can pay the rate on the link below, until April 30, 2011.

paypal com

Those who do not wish to continue with the our Exchange service, just do not do the donation. The accounts of customers who do not donate until the date of April 30, 2011 will automatically be canceled. Those who opt for non-donation and for the service`s automatically cancel, should do some copies of the necessary information and data, until April 30, 2011, which is the date when all accounts and information from customers who do not donate is going to be deleted.

Sincere Thanks,
ALOL.Net.br

Yes, it's legit. I've emailed them about it. The only concern I have about paying is its unreliability. Sometimes incoming mail can be delayed by hours, i.e. nothing comes in for hours on end, despite the fact I know it's been sent. This happens for all the devices I have connected, and even their webmail interface. They reckon that with the anticipated drop in user numbers after the introduction of this yearly charge, the service will be quicker and more reliable. The other gripe I have is that sometimes outgoing mail is also delayed for several hours.

[bliblablub]

So this is meant to be a annual, recurring fee of ~25 $ per year, isn't it?

[Bib_x]

I changed completely from alol to gmail - much better with android on my hd2. No more delay on sending and receiving mails.

[the-gog]

It seems that they blacklisted the IP address that my incoming mail routes through, so since 12:50 UTC I've had no mail whatsoever. I sent them three emails to let them know about this and for them to do something about it, but as of 21:45 UTC I've had no reply. :mad:

For people that don’t know yet, Hotmail started few months ago also offering kind exchange push mail same as Gmail, and for those living in Outlook (calendar, contacts, email) on their PC it might be much better solution then Gmail.
