Windows Mobile 6.1 Hot Fix for Sending POP and IMAP E-mail

This behavior is associated with a feature that was introduced in Windows Mobile 6.1. It provides a way

for users to send e-mail through an alternate outbound e-mail server provided by their mobile operator

in the event that the default outbound e-mail server becomes inaccessible.

The problem occurs if a mobile operator doesn't use this feature, and therefore doesn't supply a value

for the alternate SMTP address. When the mobile device fails on any attempt to connect to the e-mail

provider's default SMTP server, Windows Mobile 6.1 automatically loads the value for the alternate

SMTP server—which in this case is blank. The e-mail account configuration details are then corrupted,

which results in loss of the ability to send e-mail with that particular e-mail account.

With this fix, the feature is patched to ensure that Windows Mobile 6.1 takes appropriate action when

it detects a blank value for the Alternate SMTP server.

Note: After you apply this hot fix to your mobile device, the messages that have been sitting in the

Outbox folder of your affected POP and IMAP e-mail account(s) will be sent. Since these messages could

be out of date, you might not want to send them now. You can keep these messages from being sent by

navigating to the Outbox folder of these accounts, and then either delete them, or move them to another

folder. On Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional devices, you can access account folders by tapping the folder

drop-down located in the upper left portion of the message list. On Windows Mobile 6.1 Standard devices,

you can access account folders by pressing the Menu soft key, and then selecting Folders.
