I apologise in advance if this is not strictly the best thread to post in but I have searched for the answer.

I have a T-Mobile Vario III and an Orange TyTn II arriving on Tuesday (yes I love these devices).

Can I (officially or otherwise) use the devices with my laptop and wen n' walk?

Is there a thread that I have missed that indicates how I do it?

An article in the News of the World today states T-Mobile are introducing a £20 per month unlimited laptop tariff from next month but I would like to use my existing account (and equipment) if possible.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Spectec issued a new driver on the 14th October. My Blue Angel running WM5 can now connect to 802.11g networks.

The list of free s/w looks very impressive. Couple of questions. Is the s/w covered by a 12 month license or is it all perpetual? Can it be transferred when I upgrade my PPC?

Any good?

Visit www.mail2web.com for free Pushmail server. I have used it for 6 months, excellent service.

Come back if you still need help setting it up.

I have had TT5 & TT6 on my M600. TT6 is much easier to set up, suggest you upgrade asap.

Either will work but you need to register the new one. It's easier to use original, mine is fine with original.

I think lescargot means it now works with SSL ticked (mine now works again).

Password for ActiveSync is not a PC password, it is the password you set up with your mail2web account.

Receipt is immediate with SSL on or off.

As indicated by others SSL now appears to work again. Perhaps mail2web have fixed the certificate issue following the emails we sent them (although they haven't replied to the emails).

May just be temporary and SSL may fail shortly but it's operational at present.

I used SSL for about a month, 10 days ago it stopped working on 3 different PPC's I have. We are guessing they have changed their security certificate.

How do you know there is a delay?

Have you tried sending test emails to yourself?

You should arrange for mail to be FORWARDED from your ISP rather than COLLECTED by mail2web. Collection does involve very long delays, I was waiting 30 minutes or so when I relied on mail2web collection.

No delay with my pushmail. There is a schedule in ActiveSync, needs to be set to 'as items arrive'.

Following your suggestion I have just sent them a brief email regarding their security certificate. I will let you know when (if) I hear back from them.

I am reluctant to operate with SSL off but when I'm out of the office I have no choice (or no email).

Is the certificate checking down to the PPC, network provider or mail2web?

Unchecking SSL does appear to 'fix' the problem. I still suspect mail2web though as SSL connections were working until recently.

Either that or the mobile network operator has made a change at their end.

I am with T-Mobile, what providers are others experiencing trouble with?

Exact same problem here, worked fine for 3 weeks and now only works with WiFi. Think it's a problem with mail2web system as my Vario, Prophet & Blue Angel all now fail with GPRS. Suggest someone emails their tech support.

I agree.
100 soft resets on Blue Angel, Wizard & Prophet with SD in place without any problems (until Monday). Also some of my startup progs are on the card so it really needs to be in place on reset.

Bit more information.

I checked with file explorer and even put the SD card in a card reader and half my files 'had' gone, not just in program files dir of SD card. I started to copy some files from PC to PPC and suddenly all the files reappeared EXCLUDING the ones in program files. At least all my backups from the root directory have not been lost. I have now made a copy of the program files directory and transferred my backups to PC. Strangely I have some files TWICE on the PPC, EXACTLY the same name, extension etc. This is from copying the files from the PC when they were already on the SD card (albeit invisible at the time). Deleted some of the duplicates and it only removes one copy.

Any idea why the files can disappear and reappear? Really bad news when program dir gets wiped. I have been given a tip to remove the SD during soft resets.

Using an M600 with a 1GB Viking SD card

On Sunday I installed Agile Messenger, all went well.

Yesterday I made a couple of registry mods (GPRS timer and GPS icon in settings per Wiki WM5 registry changes). Again all went well.

Left the PPC on Monday night and this morning it had locked up.

Not too worried at this point as PPC's do lock up (like PC's in the early 90's).

Soft reset and all hell let loose, after all it is the devils day today (6/6/6). Today screen missing lots of loaded software, Smartskey not working, Agile Messenger not running etc etc.

When I checked the SD card half of my programs AND ALL MY BACKUP files were gone. It will take me hours to set up the PPC again. But before I do can anyone explain what happened to the files on the SD card?

As it is 6/6/6 I can't help thinking it's the devils work but perhaps it's somethine less sinister.

Working ok for me.

Cheers jimbouk, that worked a treat. I'm logged into MSN now.

If like me you were daft enough to install mobilemessenger you need to completely remove it and soft reset PPC before running the 2 files.

Thanks I have done that but I'm a bit confused. I have an MSN account (not a Mobile MSN account) but when I try to use MSN Messenger it comes up with 'to use the product, sign up at http://mobile.msn.com'.

What does 'signing up' involve and are there any costs?

Edit: Looks like it's a one off £10.99 to activate the software.

Think you are wrong.

The file in the Extended ROM is 'PP_RemoveMSNLink.CAB'. This removes a LINK to 'Pocket MSN' but Pocket MSN isn't present in the ROM. All the link does is take you to a web page about Pocket MSN, it doesn't run MSN.

Anyone know where we can get the Pocket MSN cab from?

MSN is in the operating system. If you hard reset and then soft reset within the 3 second warning the Orange cab that removes MSN will not run.

Alternatively unlock the extended rom (search xda-developers.com) edit the cab installation file (config.txt) to remove the specific cab (PP_RemoveMSNLink.cab) and do a full hard reset (without soft reset).

EDIT: It looks like I was wrong, the link in programs states Pocket MSN (rather than MSN) and when you click it you are taken to a web page to sign up for the paid for mobile MSN.

I believe you can use Agile messenger instead of MSN.

I will see if I can find a MSN cab.

Pushmail is normally a paid for service as it requires an Exchange server etc. Gmail doesn't offer it.
