A profoundly weird mobile email problem
 

So here it is. I have a blog set up that I can post on by sending an email to it. So I sent an email through my Treo 700w and my Exchange mail. And nothing happened. No new post, no failure message. The message was in the sent mail folder. So in testing I found these results.

Treo 700w through Exchange mail - never posts

TMobile SDA through same exchange mail - Never posts

Web browser on Mac through same Exchange account - posts quickly

Treo 700w through same Exchange account to a Google mail address - arrives quicky

Treo 700w through same exchange account to an exchange address - arrives quickly.

SDA though a Gmail POP account - posts quickly

Any ideas? I would really appreciate some help on this, it seems awfully odd to me. Thanks.

I am still trying to get my Treo to send/receive email. I bought it unlocked and my mobile company said it is not on their approved list so I can't even get the settings to program it myself.

You my friend are 1 step up on me.

Hmmm, what Treo, what carrier and what email service? I might be able to help with that.

Sounds like the blog software is dropping messages from your mobile devices. Could be a format issue, or perhaps if you're re-mailing to your blog the blog drops relayed mail... or maybe it sees the sender & source addresses as different and flags it as spam. If you can access the mail logs on the various servers involved you should be able to see where it's dropped.

I use a Treo 600 on the fido network (www.fido.ca).

As for email service, it came loaded with mail by palmone and also inbox to go.

But are you trying to connect to like gmail or Yahoo mail?

I am trying to connect to my pop account at rogers.com.

Unfortunately, mine is Windows Mobile 5 and all I did was say create a new email account and it asked for the address and set it up, just asking me for a password and such. Have you tried looking at www.howardforums.com ? That is a site like this for cell phones. Plus it is in Toronto so there are a lot of Fido and Rogers customers there. Sorry I cant help more, Im not sure what kind of mail hookup the Palm OS Treos have. Maybe someone else here can pitch in.

I gave up on my problem by the way and just created a gmail account and a POP hookup on the Treo to that. In looking at the headers the ones coming from the Treo through Exchange are different and longer than the ones out of the Web Exchange interface. I found some indication on the web that long headers could crap up blogger so I just bagged it and went to the POP account which works fine.
