Q10322 - HOWTO: Setting up the email client on a Windows Mobile phone

If you are going to be using your Windows Mobile phone from outside your network (which you probably are), then you will need to ensure that your MDaemon server is accessible to your phone when it is connecting from the Internet back into your server.

This will usually require that your router/firewall has been configured appropriately so that your MDaemon server is accessible on the following ports:-

IMAP:  TCP port 143
SMTP:  TCP port 25

If you are going to be using SSL encrypted connections (if you're not sure, then you're probably not), the appropriate port numbers

are as follows:-

IMAP over SSL:  TCP port 993
POP over SSL:  TCP port 995

Make sure that you've previously logged into your account via WorldClient at least once - this ensures that all your standard personal folders such as 'Drafts, Sent Items, Deleted Items' are present along with your Inbox.

To add an email account select the email icon on the desktop ' No Unread Messages':

Select 'Setup E-mail':



Enter the account email address and password and choose next:



Untick 'Try to get e-mail settings automaticaly from the internet' and choose next:



Select 'Internet e-mail' as the e-mail provider and choose next:



Enter your full name and a name to give this account and choose next:



Enter the Public address of the MDaemon mail server. Either a public IP address or A record are valid. Usualy this would be mail.yourdomain.com. Select the 'IMAP' account type and choose next:



Enter your MDaemon Username ( full email address) and password and choose next:



Under the outgoing server settings tick the option 'Outgoing server requires authentication' and 'Use the same user name and password for sending e-mail'. Choose Finish:



The Phone should now connect to Mdaemon and collect any e-mail for this user.
