I have it setup on my phone, do a send/receive and nothing comes down. I have 2 messages in the inbox currently which I can see from the server. Has anyone ever seen their phone give any type of error message?

 

[madmatt]

Something along the lines as "...operation interrupted...".

However, as for your phone not wanting to download emails sitting on the server.

Under "Options (2/3)" check to make sure it is set to "display the messages from..." and under "Options (3/3)" make sure it is set to download the headers AND ~25KB of the message body (or full email).

Also, with Verizon make sure you have configured your VZWMAIL.NET account.

mine came with a doc but what exactly is the purpose?

the usb connection does the same thing

btw

have we merged my thread onto this one?

 

[madmatt]

Perris, mine didn't come with a dock, but a customer who has the VZW VX6700 got one. There isn't a point to it.

Perris, no. I didn't merge your thread because I didn't know if you wanted it merged.

 

[kcnychief]

I'll have to check my settings.

I had GMAIL downloading fine without a verizon account setup on my phone, so not sure that is the case.

 

[madmatt]

You need VZWMAIL.NET for outgoing on Verizon's network. I was just throwing that out there.

I don't know if that one should be merged to this one or not, I leave it to your judgement

 

[madmatt]

Let me re-read it.

 

[madmatt]

perris, have you upgraded your OS/ROM?

Is there any kind of tweak/hack that will keep your sent messages somewhere so that Outlook can get them at some point?

I have my phone setup and working fine, messages go to the phone I can send and receive without issue. When I run Outlook it downloads messages that I originally received, but anything I ever sent stays on the phone and doesn't come onto the PC. Is there anything I can do, even if it's a manual process?

Matt gave me a tip if there is something I may need, I can CC myself which works. Was just wondering if there was another way without having to do that.

 

[kcnychief]

FWIW, I thought I would mention that the Treo 700w does NOT require a registry hack to stay connected all the time for a send/receive. It's simply a box you can check, which is off by default, that also has a time adjustable interval for doing the send/receive

 

[madmatt]

Where is this option?

 

[kcnychief]

On the "Server Information" section, which is 4 of 4 for your account setup, there is an Options button. If you click that, you can check a box that says "Connect and Check for messages every:" with the time interval

I thought the connect meant to dial up, but mine stays dialed in all day long and I turn it off at night

 

[madmatt]

Yes, but that option doesn't keep my customer (VX6700) connected at all times. It still dials *777 every time.

However, that might be because of her data plan (I don't think she signed up for unlimited).

I don't think that matters as verizon, like any other, will charge overages withou warning. There is a disclaimer of sorts on that page that warns about more data charges if you stay connected.

 

[madmatt]

It doesn't phase me. With Cingular I have an unlimited plan and it keeps me connected at all times -- no dialing out and even when I am on the phone.

 

[kcnychief]

I have found that when I am connected, and am on the phone, my signal and clarity is a bit deteriorated

This happens at an AMAZING time:

I am not really happy with my phone atm, and I'm prepared to eat my words saying that I just don't like typing out long e-mails on it

I know you guys told me that the Treo was a bad keyboard layout, and I've used it before just not to the amount of traffic I do now.

Perhaps it's time for a switch to Cingular in the Fall
