Configuring your HTC HD2 Leo email account to use Wi-Fi

If you've read any of my posts, you probably know I'm not one to shy of Microsoft's technology. So, when it came to buying a smart phone I went for the best Hardware available - even if it means using Window Mobile as my my OS. Getting the best HW these days means the HTC HD2 Leo
So, from time to time I'll post some tips here.

If you want your email account to use Wi-Fi in order to send/receive your mail (instead of the expensive GPRS default) - do this:

Start >> E-mail >> [select your account] >> Menu Options >> [select your account from the list (yea I know you did that in the previous step)] >> Edit Account Setup >>Next >> Next >> Next >> Next >> Advanced Server Settings >> In Network Connection select "The Internet" >> Done >> Next >> Next >> Finish

That's a well hidden configuration wouldn't you say?

SSL must not be enabled for pickup-directory delivery methods

I mean, at least when I’m not dealing with the bleeding edge of technology, I should expect to find a post from somebody who’s already ran into a similar problem – right? Well, I was a bit surprised when I tried to implement a simple email client using the totally mundane System.Net.Mail (really not bleeding edge, is it?), and received the following exception: “ SSL must not be enabled for pickup-directory delivery methods “ Happily I searched the web for this error message only to find two (2!) whole articles about it, none of which was any help at all. So, I figured it’s a good enough reason for my first blog post. After all, the blog itself has been ready and waiting for several months now for me to find the time and motivation to write something. But, I was doing something really trivial - ther...

Containing Child Controls inside a UserControl

User Controls are a very quick and effective method to develop reusable controls for your application. They are usually much easier to develop than writing your own custom server controls. I ran into a situation the other day that a user control we’ve made and had been working on for some time, just got a new requirement to be able to contain child server controls. I was a bit surprised to discover this is not a trivial matter. It seems there is a weird limitation on User controls. If you try to put child controls in them or nest a user control inside another, the designer will complain. Furthermore if you thought you could use the PersistChildrenAttribute in order to convince the designer that your control is really intended to support this behavior, then think again – it seems that the designer simply ignores this possibility when it comes to user controls. While searching for a solution, I discovered this post by Bobby DeRosa that suggested a reasonable solution. The problem ...
