Funny: I've had my WM6.1 Touch Pro for months, and have been able to send e-mail via smtp without problems until a week ago. And now, right after this issue had me totally baffled, Microsoft releases a fix! Especially for me, I like to think.

thanks for pointing out my typo... i meant to type email messages.

Before I apply this patch, does it override the cab file that was floating around (the Tracy and Matt fix I think it was called), or should I delete that first just to be safe?

I'd be inclined to delete the registry hack that Tracy and Matt had just so there is no confusion.

I deleted the .CAB file from them, and soft reset my Epix. Just installed the MS patch and sent a test email without a hitch.

Very nice. Now I wonder what this patch will break next!
And how many years before HTC puts it in their roms. Oh sorry, my TC is obsolete already.

I installed the smtp patch and my pop mail account seems to have disappeared form my phone , BlackJack II with 6.1. The number of email messages for the account displays on my home screen but the pop account is not in the list of messaging accounts. I cannot access the pop account to see the messages. The only two accounts which show now are my Outlook inbox synced from my computer and my text messages. I tried to setup the account again with the same name but cannot because it says that name is already being used. I tried to setup the account again, twice, with a different name. I make it all the way through the setup process but the account never shows up.

Unfortunately I installed the patch without having experienced the problems it was intended to fix. I did it as a precaution. Any suggestions?

UPDATE SOLUTION! I uninstalled the patch. Never thought that would be easy but it was. My original pop account reappeared and the two new accounts I added appeared also. I am very happy.

I do not recommend this update for the HTC Touch by Sprint. It did not allow the email to function at all until I uninstalled it. Beware!

Well I downloaded the cab and applied it. Nothing bad happened...yet? LOL

I'm happy to see M$ promptly addressing a technical issue. However, I'm still pretty bummed out about the Windows Update feature on my Touch Pro not doing anything other than telling me "there are no updates available at this time". It would have been a great way to roll out this patch.
