I did the same.. and the 4.5 wont connect for me. errors like Unknown user!...Please check network setting and signal level!... I do have the browser option and i have internet. mms no problem.

Do you allready have a shangmail acct on the english site? If you do the 2 accts might be contradicting, and you can be receiving errors, it was happening to me.

**elpocol0c0** · 06-10-2009, 05:36 PM

I got the 4.5 shangmail working now by just playing around with it and suddenly it got connected lol.

Did it connect with the user name that you made on the english site with v1? I have the same problem and I heard I should register on the chinese site but i'm having some issues with that. Also, when you log in what does it say under "network"? the choices are CMWAP, CMNET, and Other. CMNET & other tell me invalid user and CMWAP tells me network error.

register on the 4.5v on your blackberry device not on the website then add the accounts, it worked for me amysharen, but i noticed sometimes when i reply to msg i get disconected from the nextel service, it goes to sos, and then the bars come back, thats weird, anyone else having that prob sometimes. how can i avoid it, thx

**amysharren** · 06-11-2009, 11:33 AM

I always got the same error from time to time on the english version, that's why I was trying the other version. U can still send the message u just have to copy what u wrote and paste it in a new email.

I think its bc the reply is too long for shangmail to handle.

I registered on the webpage. then installed the shangmail by downloading through my bb, then i tried to log in with user name and pass in all the possible connections that they have, i think they only have 3. then i went to register and did it there, and finally worked fine.
But now, i dont see any notification when i receive an email, just the little envelope on top of the main screen. I dont see the red asterisk on the Message box, just the red bliking light, and the bad thing is that i sometimes get that red light flashing just because and its annoying, because i checked all the apps and mms, email, and apps and they have nothing new and that light keeps flashing, and sometimes stops but i dont know what is that cause its annoying and keeps my attention all the time...

I cant bind shangmail to my yahoo account.

I downloaded shangmail through the english site and installed it on my BB
-tried to bind through my computer and it said account information error ( i tried to use both yahoo.cn and yahoo.com.cn)

I downloaded shangmail through my BB and tried to bind through my phone and the same error occured.

has anyone gotten shangmail to retrieve their yahoo email

**Placer** · 06-18-2009, 04:22 PM

^i have the same problem. PM me a message if you get it to work,i'll do the same. mean time,im tryna' bind an MSN account.

its getting frustrating because the instructions are simple as **** and its making me feel as if i cant read lol.

Does anyone know what the binding function does? I have no clue. I've never used it. Should I? Hm....

As far as Yahoo...does Yahoo even offer POP3/IMAP4? I am not a yahoo user, but I am pretty sure they don't offer POP3/IMAP4...which means they won't work with shangmail. I did a quick google search to verify this and found this information on yahoo answers:

If you want to use Outlook, Outlook Express, Thunderbird or other third party email clients to view your email you have 2 options.
Subscribe to mail plus:
http://billing.mail.yahoo.com/bm/Upgrade...

or download and install YPOPS
YPOPs! :: Free POP3/SMTP Access to Yahoo! Mail

Placer; you said you were trying to do an MSN account...which would be like hotmail, right? Hotmail USED to not offer POP, but I think they do now. I did a quick google search and it seems that they also only offer POP to paid accounts.

So, with that being said...I recently started a new job and my email works on a Microsoft Exchange Server. I know nothing about them, but so far our IT guy hasn't given me any info on using POP/IMAP. Any bright ideas on getting the email on my BB?

**Placer** · 06-18-2009, 11:34 PM

aww damn

i was hoping you'd give ME answers lol. i swore you had it working ALREADY. since i read that thread you posted. i figured i was just doing it incorrectly the whole time

I'm confused. Didn't I give you answers? What did you think I have working? Am I being conceded, were you not even talking to me? I don't get it.

I have shangmail working, the chinese version. I added two accounts to it (a) my gmail account and (b) my personal account for my domain. I have never used the bind option b/c I have never needed to. I just added the accounts on shangmail's site (yeah, even on the Chinese version). You can only use POP/IMAP.

I am curious if anyone is using a different client for a Mircosoft Exchange Server? I could probably just forward it to one of my other accounts, but I want something more clever (: I also know nothing about Exchange servers, but I would imagine I could just get POP info for it, right?

**Placer** · 06-20-2009, 02:47 PM

yeah i was talking to you Amy. and yes you've given me answers. after this last post of course lol.

i was confused cause i got stuck w/the chinese version of shangmail. i THOUGHT you was using the english version. i kinda wanted to work the english one since its in ENGLISH. i hated those chinese weather reports.

but i guess i'd have to register a new email then since my MSN doesnt seem to work. and yes its hotmail.

**Placer** · 06-21-2009, 04:08 PM

btw i just jumped ship and went to gmail. shangmail is working good now cept' must i always DL the attachments? i cant find the thread speaking on it.

well shangmail offers their yahoo.cn users the ability to login, they did put it in their common email list. i dont see why not.

When you have pressed reply, press menu and then Delete Original Text, that helps.

I started having problems today also, I am using the English version, so I think it is Shangmail server issues b/c everything else on the phone works.

**Delrahim69** · 12-11-2009, 07:41 PM

It started yesterday, but today has been frequent.

The Shangmail BIBLE for BOOST users:
-----------------------------------------------
If you didn't realize it yet, with the newest 8350i BB Firmware version (.313) you can SEND e-mail attachments using the Shangmail program. I finally have a full working BB on Boost. Also, now I can reply or forward long e-mails... with previous BB firmwares I would get my radio connection reseted and the message would not go through.
-------
Here is what you should do to stop the NETWORK ERROR message:
---------------------------------------
Go to Shangmail/ Settings/ Accounts and select "Delete Account"
-------
Go to Settings and select "Reset"
-------
Do a battery pull, wait 2-5 minutes and reboot BB.
-------
Download the Chinese version of Shangmail directly from your phone (OTA) ... Here is the link: http://www.shangmail.com/mobile4/Shangmail.jad
------
Go to Shangmail and select "Register" ... create a new user name and password... Make sure you have selected "CMNET" in the register menu.
------
After you log in, "BIND" your e-mail address to this new account...
Make sure you did the first step or you will not be able to add the same e-mail address to 2 different Shangmail accounts !!! You will get the "Account exist" error and you would have to log back into previous Shangmail account and then delete from there...
------
If you use a G-MAIL address, you can get all your other e-mails to be forwarded to your BB... Log in from your computer to the G-MAIL account, go to settings and use the POP3 servers to extract e-mails from other accounts...
You can even get your Yahoo e-mails, if in the Yahoo settings you change your Time Zone to Asia. After you make this change, you will see the POP/Forwarding option activated in the Yahoo settings. From there, get your POP3 server addresses and put them in the G-MAIL Account so you can get the e-mails to your BB.
-------
You can also use the "Download" option to get the attachment to your phone from the e-mail received.
To get the downloaded location of attachments to a convenient folder (on your SD card) go to Shangmail/ Settings/ Configuration go down to Attachment Storage, click BB Menu button and select "Modify"... Go to a folder on your SD Card.
--------
To Upload/send attachments with the e-mail, click the BB Menu button and select "Add Attachment" then select the file you want to send.
Don't select "Attach File" or "Attach Contact" because those options don't work.
--------
After months of headaches and research, I managed to get my BB working properly on the Boost Network... Follow this and you won't have any more problems.
