(Q) Email auto configuration - General Questions and Answers

Is there a way to auto-reconfigure an email account after a complete hard reset (for example when the battery is empty)?
Is it possible to do this with some registry keys, or with a xml script?
Thanks for the anwser (it's very important).

XML
You can do it with this xml script:
Code:
<wap-provisioningdoc>
<characteristic type="EMAIL2">
<characteristic type="{D671C70B-8EE3-4881-8045-2AEE6F731B55}">
<parm name="SERVICENAME" value="MyIMAP"/>
<parm name="SERVICETYPE" value="IMAP4"/>
<parm name="INSERVER" value="Imapserver"/>
<parm name="OUTSERVER" value="smtpserver"/>
<parm name="AUTHNAME" value="alias"/>
<parm name="AUTHSECRET" value="password"/>
<parm name="DOMAIN" value="oceana"/>
<parm name="REPLYADDR" value="emailAddress"/>
</characteristic>
<characteristic type="{4FE84006-9E8A-4158-864D-A2E1E98C3786}">
<parm name="SERVICENAME" value="MyPOP"/>
<parm name="SERVICETYPE" value="POP3"/>
<parm name="INSERVER" value="popserver"/>
<parm name="OUTSERVER" value="smtpserver"/>
<parm name="AUTHNAME" value="alias"/>
<parm name="AUTHSECRET" value="password"/>
<parm name="DOMAIN" value="oceana"/>
<parm name="REPLYADDR" value="emailAddress"/>
</characteristic>
</characteristic>
</wap-provisioningdoc>
Good luck,

ISP provided settings.
what exactly does mail do when it's trying to get mail server settings? i work for an ISP that does email as well. every phone we have tested with auto setup seems to give us different results for email servers.
droid- (domain).com
droid x- mail.(domain).com
it always seems to come up using the default mail ports.
the server settings have to be pretty specific to work on verizon's network as they block port 25 for outgoing mail. we need to set up SSL using port 465 on the outgoing server.
desktop mail clients like thunderbird and outlook have an autoconfigure feature that pulls information from an xml file located on the domain.
does anyone know if it's possible to configure a server side xml like the one in the post above?
thanks!

Does HTC touch (Windows Mobile) support SMS provisioning?

hello,
after about 3 years away from windows mobile, there are many things lost for me.
I want to know, if HTC Touch, or Windows Mobile, supports SMS Provisioning?
for example:
Code:
<wap-provisioningdoc>
<characteristic type="NAPDEF">
<parm name="NAPID" value="NAP1"/>
<parm name="BEARER" value="GSM-CSD"/>
<parm name="NAME" value="ANY NAME 3"/>
<parm name="NAP-ADDRESS" value="+XXXXXXXXXXX"/>
<parm name="NAP-ADDRTYPE" value="E164"/>
<characteristic type="NAPAUTHINFO">
<parm name="AUTHTYPE" value="PAP"/>
<parm name="AUTHNAME" value="myuser"/>
<parm name="AUTHSECRET" value="mysecret"/>
</characteristic>
</characteristic>
</wap-provisioningdoc>
I am using NowSMS as SMS Gateway. But when I send the OMA-Provisioning SMS to a HTC Touch, it doesn't notify any incoming SMS.
Thanks
Pai
Finally, I find some info from MSDN:
Provisioning OTA Through a WAP Push
Note: OTA bootstrapping is disabled by default in Windows Mobile-based devices. Before you can bootstrap or continuously provision the device OTA you must enable OTA bootstrapping. For more information see Enabling OTA Bootstrapping.
It looks like, that the HTC touch can't receive Push-SMS correctly.....
how to solve this problem, in order to receive a Push SMS on HTC touch?!

Sync Sent Items & Today Messaging plugin- Registry?

Hi All,
I hope you can help with this one.
I am currently creating a CAB file to automatically deploy some custom settings into several devices. I have set up Activesync and done most of the required options however there are still 2 left that i cannot seem to crack!
The main one is the Sync Sent Items check box in 'Messaging - > Outlook Email - > Menu -> Manage Folders
I would like to be able to check this box using my custom cab file but i cannot find the appropriate setting in the registry, does anyone have any idea where i can find this?
The second one is that one of the options i am deploying is to store email and attachments on the storage card however in order to do this i know that you need to disable meesaging in the Today plugin, once again i cannot seem to find this in the registry. I would like to disable this then set the storage card options so i dont run into the old Storage Card2 problems.
Any ideas suggestions greatly recieved.
Thanks in advance.

[Q] gprs APN Problem

Hello, recently I buy an XPERIA X8 android 2.1 rooted and I’m having problems connecting to internet only with certain applications like Maps, Market, OperaMini, RoadSync, etc while other applications can connect perfectly like Browser, Email, Sending MMS, Wisepilot, Barnacle, etc.
When I tried to use Maps there is no gprs activity, is like these applications can’t see the APN.
These are the APNs configured in my cel:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' standalone='yes' ?>

Can anyone help me?

Change a primary account user name

Hi!
Does anyone know how to change WP7 primary account (Windows Live) user name via registry (AFAIK it's not possible by standard way)?
Thanks!
I found solution by myself, and like to share with xda members
How to change LiveID email and user name without hard reset on WP7
On the desktop:
1) Go to http://account.live.com and sign in with your old account;
2) Change your LiveID email (use existing email or get new one from @hotmail.com);
3) Save your changes and re-login with new ID.
On the handset:
1) Using registry editor or provisioning file, change these values:
[HKCU\Software\Microsoft\ActiveSync\Partners\{B2830118-7BC6-4A74-8C9A-3D8B9CEF88E0}]
"Email"=[email protected]
"User"=[email protected]
[HKCU\Software\Microsoft\IdentityCRL\Environment\Production]
"DefaultID"=[email protected]
Provisioning file:
Code:
<wap-provisioningdoc>
<characteristic type="Registry">
<characteristic type="HKCU\Software\Microsoft\ActiveSync\Partners\{B2830118-7BC6-4A74-8C9A-3D8B9CEF88E0}">
<parm name="Email" value="[email protected]" />
<parm name="User" value="[email protected]" />
</characteristic>
<characteristic type="HKCU\Software\Microsoft\IdentityCRL\Environment\Production">
<parm name="DefaultID" value="[email protected]" />
</characteristic>
</characteristic>
</wap-provisioningdoc>
2) Reboot phone.
Now you completely changed LiveID on WP7 without factory reset!
P.S. Key HKCU\Software\Microsoft\IdentityCRL\UserExtendedProperties also has some interesting values
Sensboston, you sir, are my hero!
Incredible! Thanks!
Does it also change the region of Marketplace if i change my hotmail to another one with another region?
It only changes the email associated but you cannot change region. MS creates a unique id in back which carries all your profile data and is tied to billing where one cannot change its country.
So may be only live email cna be changed but this does nit allow you to switch regions
Thanks a lot, very helpful indeed!!
How can one change the region in the marketplace?? Hard reset only,maybe??
Yes. You need to use a live id d which is of dfferent region. I have created this tutoral using one of the custom backup restore tool of this forum http://www.wpxbox.com/how-to-restore-and-backup-windows-phone-homebrew/ which you can use to switch between two backups. One can be for Us account and other for Indian account fr example.
Thanks, I was expecting as much!
I'll check out the tutorial once i get the chance.Hopefully I'll succeed!
Provisioning file
It didn't work for me using the provisioning file from post#2 with the tools of Xboxmod: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=907169.
Then I generated a new provisioning file exactly as written in the post quoted above:
Code:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\ActiveSync\Partners\{B2830118-7BC6-4A74-8C9A-3D8B9CEF88E0}]
"Email"="[email protected]"
"User"="[email protected]"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\IdentityCRL\Environment\Production]
"DefaultID"="[email protected]"
converted it with rgu-2-xml.exe:
Code:
<wap-provisioningdoc>
<!-- *** COMMENTO *** -->
<characteristic type="Registry">
<characteristic type="HKCU\Software\Microsoft\ActiveSync\Partners\{B2830118-7BC6-4A74-8C9A-3D8B9CEF88E0}">
<parm name="Email" value="[email protected]" datatype="string" />
<parm name="User" value="[email protected]" datatype="string" />
</characteristic>
<characteristic type="HKCU\Software\Microsoft\IdentityCRL\Environment\Production">
<parm name="DefaultID" value="[email protected]" datatype="string" />
</characteristic>
</characteristic>
</wap-provisioningdoc>
now it worked.
Your finding saved me quite a bit of headache, thanks for that!
Can you also just delete the windows live mail with this method ?

Now you on new LiveID email without factory reset!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This will work, but you won't be able to post to Twitter, LinkedIn, Windows Live, or upload photos to SkyDrive. I'm looking in to a way to fix that at the moment...
Oh, that sucks... But I realised something, in that method I'm just changing my email address, no? What I wanted to do is switch to another ready made Windows Live account, that's not possible?
Thank u !

@revxx14
any idea yet?
I tried to search the registry / google / etc. but no solution to this so far.
Is there any way to browse the 'hidden' parts of the registry?
thx
WP7 Root Tools, or any other full-permission registry browser (including the TouchXperience one, if you elevate with WP7 Root Tools), can browse the full registry without restrictions (no "hidden" parts).
