Mail2Web works for me.. without entering the domain. Just make sure your time settings are correct because that screwed me up initially. That's the only suggestion I have, but I can confirm it does work.. No HTML though because they dont have Exchange '07 yet.. I heard they'll be updating sometime soon.

Good luck

I have been having trouble geeting the screen to align. When trying to align it just keeps going back to alignment over and over, until I just soft reset. I have only had this problem with WM6 upgrade.

Your have a dead spot on your 6700. Try to hard reset again, but if you can't get past the align screen, flash back to factory rom and take it in for an exchange. Good Luck!!!

Fisrt off just want to say great work, Helmi. It is really quite an accomplishment to get WM6 running on the Apache. Things were really weird when I allowed the Sprint customizations to run: poor stylus alignment, frozen scroll arrows & bars, physical keyboard malfunction, slow processing, really bad bluetooth, no storage card recognition and no WAN. I went back and did a hard reset and did not let the customization run. General functionality vastly improved. I can only echo problems already listed like the the WPA WAN/WIFI issues, media players with strange screen orientation problems. I am most bummed at losing my TCPMP ability to play full youtube videos (but I have seen some possible work arounds in the forums already). HTC HOME/TODAY is pretty cool but needs to be more customizable. I have been 'playing' with the rom for about 10 hours now, and except for an IE freeze (something to do with youtube downloading all the flash ads...), the rom has been pretty stable. I am going to keep this install for now because it does what I need most (phone works, plays music and surfs the web). I will be waiting patiently for a C&S rom/kitchen. Overall, really happy. Great Work!


EDIT

Sprint 6700, sprint customizations not installed, nothing added to Helmi's rom

After running the WM6 for about 72 hours I noticed the following signs of deteriorating stability:

-Some programs are not shutting down when I tap the 'x', they only minimize, frequent offenders are TCPMP and CommManager
-scroll bars/arrows stop working, requiring reset
-touch screen stops working, requiring reset
-speed seems to be slowing down - eg takes longer for a program to open, dialing is taking longer, switching between screen orientations takes longer
-significant battery drain compared to last rom, at end of day my seidio 3200mAh battery is at 70%, used to not drop below90% with same amount of use.
-IE chokes much more frequently, not only on youtube/video pages, but opening a page with moderate still graphics, oftens requires reset
-a couple of times in TCPMP and in IE the page orientation would swtch from wide ange (keyboard open) back to 'normal' orientation, happens radomly.

I know this is a 'beta' version of the rom, so I hope the above helps. I am still thrilled with the rom, A2DP really kicks, I got the WAN/WIFI to work, and the HTC home is cool....will keep using rom unless it really becomes sub funtional.

Edit on 9/15/07

Everything mentioned in above edit continues to happen after running WM6 for a week. Battery drain and overall slowness most noticeable now. Scrolls bars and stylus alignment become dysfunctional frequently. I am doing a couple of soft resets a day now. I debating whether no not to go back to 3.5, but man I really love the A2DP with WM6.

None are working as of yet. If you need to update your roaming, search to forums on how to manually update it.

This works if you install the updated Big Button Dialer for the mogul.

Seems to fix the problem for me. I am on Verizon.

A new annoying issue.
Activesync connects, but won't actually sync.
It says Connecting; Looking for changes; Synchronizing.
At this point, it usually goes down the list and shows the progress of syncing each item.
Now, the little green wheel/arrows just spin and say "Synchronizing" with no other information forever.
And the data is not getting synced.
I've reset my phone and PC.
Changed the advanced networking setting a few times.

ooooooooooooh. wait a minute.

Now it just synced.

OK. Something to look at, but appparently not a critical issue.
After further investigation it looks like I've got some issues w/Outlook2003. I don't think its an issue w/Activesync or the phone at all.

[later]
OK. Now I'm not so sure. A little digging and it appears that certain Tasks aren't getting synced either. I found that a few Contacts hadn't been updated earlier. I know this worked perfectly before going to WM6, but I don't know how long this hasn't been working!

Anyone having the same issue I am with trying to set a new keyboard SIP (PCM Keyboard)? I had it set once by playing with <forgotten option here> then doing a soft reset. I had it working for a while, and then another soft reset (thanks, Spb Backup) and now I can't get it to work again...

The Touch dialer seems to have a few problems including:

911 doesn't work

If someone calls you and you want to ad their number to your contacts, clicking on :Menu - Add to contacts" makes the phone LOCK UP.

I decided to use the original WM6 which dialer doesn't seem to have either of these problems.

To switch to the original WM6 Dialer, just edit the registry:

[HKLM\Security\Phone\Skin] change "Enabled=1" to "Enabled=0"

I did notice, however, that the WM6 dialer seems to be missing the "DELETE" button(Just an empty white rectangle where the buttonshould go, but it does work if you press it). I will search the forums to see if I find a solution for that.

I tried that as well. I didn't like the look of the new dialer, but a missing button looks even worse!

As far as cosmetics, theres a decent fix for the new dialer...

but if you find a fix for the old dialer button, please let me know.
