Touchpro + Cricket + Email... How?

[boredmug]

I'm a little confused after doing some searches in here. I flashed a touch pro for a friend to cricket and have everything working except E-mail. Internet works, Picture mail works, voice and text. If he enters in his account like you normally would for email on the touch pro it gives and error when he tries to connect.. With searching the site i have noticed people talking about push mail not working.. I've NEVER used push mail on my touch pro.. I usually just have it update every two hours. Are they saying that PUSH MAIL is not possible with cricket or not even normal E-mail? I have this program Funambol that looks like a solution, but i'm curious if there is a way to make it work without it. He doesn't need mail being pushed instantaneously, just normal mail that he can click send/receive and it will work. Can anybody explain it to me?

it is proxy issue.
pop mail generally does not use the ports that cricket allows.
if you can find a mail that will allow you to use those ports,
then i believe it should work.

cricket uses:
port 8080 for HTTP
port 443 for HTTPS

for example.. i know gmail does not use those ports. gmail uses something in the 900's..
so i just forward a copy to my phonenumber@mms.mycricket.com as notification
and then check with browser when a mail arrives.

btw.
there is also a client called "emoze" that you could try
as an alternative to funambol.

well the biggest issue is attaching a file to email. he was trying to use yahoos web email and there is no option to attach a file. if i could find a way to do that im sure he would be happy. maybe another email like gmail or something?

[krielys]

hmmm, what about the Yahoo Go program ?

http://communication.howstuffworks.c...-internet1.htm

the above site claims Yahoo Go's mail section can send and receive attachments..

I use this method as well. I have a godaddy email account and will only send/recieve on wifi. I normally use opera to access their web email lite version to get my emails. Although sometimes the email sent to my text is readable by clicking view text. Can't reply unless on browser or wifi. Adding broadband to my account so will research that avenue as well.

Well, in order to get the email client in the Touch Pro to fully work, you need to do the "proxy workaround" hack, that yes, does require a broadband account.

I take absolutely no credit for this, and I'm not sure who is really the one that figured it out, but Mikeysride made a complete guide on how to get it working (and yes, it works, I'm using it now lol). It also makes everything else work as well.... google maps (fully), navizon (fully), pretty much ANYTHING that has to connect to the internet will fully work now without limitation.

The guide is on HoFo, and here is the direct link:

i have an htc touch pro on cricket wireless. i use proxycap and it allows me to tunnel through the cricket proxy and use outlook, im clients...literally everything that doesnt use UDP since http(s) proxies dont transfer udp like socks do. it costs $15 but a very good investment in my opinion. there are a ton of cracked versions on the web but literally none of them work.

i set a rule for web with port 8080 to tunnel straight through and then a rule for the rest to tunnel through the proxy. i tried funambol and all that other crap but it was all a waste once i tried proxycap. works with touch flo email as well...the whole 9. hit me up if you have any questions or need help setting it up.

Check out this http://cdmagurus.com/forum/showthread.php?1611-Proxycap it'll help you a lot with proxi cap. and if you have Gmail I know a way to get it pushed through the proxy with out any additional programs.

Feel free to PM me for details.

I have e-mail working on my TP, but I pay for it with the $15 extra for the real web, I have issues getting & sending picture messages because my phone shows up in there systems as a Motorola Evoke QA4 which doesn't support MMS, but lately, I have been receiving a couple of MMS. I tried the proxy workaround and the push mail, but it took to long to setup each time, I flash my phone.

So if he wants to shell our the $15 each month that would work, if not i was getting gmail with the Java client but i had to activate it to receive my mail.

hope this helps
