Blackberry ESS standalone mode & Outlook 2007 - blackberry

I launch Blackberry ESS in standalone mode. However I don't have Outlook Express on my computer. Instead I have Outlook 2007 on my computer. I set up an email account in Outlook 2007 which uses 'localhost' as its pop3/smtp server. The port numbers I used are the same as those in http://www.blackberryforums.com/developer-forum/5590-sending-receiving-email-device-simulator.html. However I got the following exception. 'UnknownHostException:pop3.server'. I am wondering if Outlook 2007 works with ESS.

I found the cause of the issue. I forgot to fill the following fields.
Name
The name to display in outgoing messages from the device simulator
Email
The email address to display in outgoing messages from the device simulator
But it is quite weird that the error message is UnknowHostException.

IBM Connections mobile application - any registered URL handlers?

On a mobile unit (iOS in this case) - I need to be able to open the connections mobile application to a particular profile, something like this: https://connectionsServer.com/profiles/html/profileView.do?userid=theProfileUID&lang=en_us
Triggering this URL would open the Connections application (if installed) and displaying the corresponding profile.
I doubt that IBM thought of it, but I you never know...
Thanks!
/J
The URL scheme for the IBM Connections app is of the form ibmscp://com.ibm.connections/.
Opening the app to a profile like your example would be done by opening the URL ibmscp://com.ibm.connections/profiles?userid=theProfileUID.
More information can be found on this IBM page.

Print Through Terminal Service In vb6 application

i`ve facing a problem with terminal services in my vb6 application.
My program can print reports with Printer.print in remote printers \\ip\printer. But when i try to print some report in my application, i receive a error message 'printer error 482'.
I don`t know what can i do to solve this issue...
any idea?
Probably you don't have a printer installed from at specific user profile.
In the user profile, add a printter and its driver in the control panel / printers.

Delphi JvMail + Outlook 2013 - Error when Outlook is not closed

I'm using JvMail component to send e-mails by outlook in my application.
When sending e-mails by outlook 2013 and the outlook is closed, the new e-mail window opens normally, but when JvMail tries to send e-mail while outlook 2013 is running, I get the error: MAPI Error: (2) General MAPI Failure.
I'm using windows 8 and outlook 2013. I have tested this situation with outlook 2007 and Windows XP and works fine with the outlook 2007 open or closed.
How can I fix this? I'm working with Delphi XE3.
Obs:
There is no need to post my code, because the error happens even if I create JvMail and call JvMail.SendMail(True).
After some time without seeing this, I have figured out that the problem only happens when I try to open outlook with the Delphi opened.
If I use the JvMail to open outlook when executing my application without being by delphi, the problem doesn't happen.
I have also tested trying to open outlook using report builder, Indy and JvMail. All of them don't open outlook when running my application by delphi but they work perfectly when running my application directly by the exe file.

How did a Captive Portal force to open a browser

I've setup a Captive Portal with dd-wrt, wifidog, authpuppy and some plugins from authpuppy as well as my own web app.
I am wondering what's the exact thing that will trigger a
browser on the client device to popup?
Is the popup browser from iPhone/iPad a regular browser mode?
It seems some JavaScript will fail on the browser mode, like the shake.js,
event though iOS Safari version is > 4.2.1 from https://github.com/alexgibson/shake.js/
P.S.:
I've done the research like
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captive_portal
https://personaltelco.net/wiki/CaptivePortal
they don't talk much about the popup browser.
Could anyone help?
If you will try to see the network statistics [request/response] you will find out that devices like ios and android both of them continuously hits some particular urls [in case of android it is www.google.com/generate_204 , don't remember exact url for ios]. These url are generated by system internally. These pings let their server know about various details. So as soon as ios gets connected with a captive portal it tries to hit the system generated url, failing to which it understands that this is packet level protected network and open the browser.
Hope this helps.

How do I get a desktop notification from a web app?

I need to create a web app for a client, and one of the requirements is whenever an event is triggered there should be some desktop notification in Windows XP/7 that tells them of the event. Similar to the balloon that pops-up when a new file is added to a folder in Dropbox.
I am using Rails for the web app, but have never done any desktop development. What should I be looking at?
Would this: Growl Notifications from a Web Server
plus Growl for windows meet your needs? http://www.growlforwindows.com/gfw/developers.aspx
It may be worth looking at Noti.
This tool allows web apps to push notifications to a small app running on OS X, Windows and Linux.
Would RSS-enabling the application, coupled with a RSS widget on the desktop, suffice? This has a few drawbacks - for example, it requires setup on the workstations and is not immediate. But it is non-proprietary.
If this is a Windows environment, perhaps the application could use the Windows command msg.exe to pop up an alert box (assuming Windows messenger service is enabled on the workstations).
You can use Telegram (desktop portable version included) with TeleNotify gem. Downside is, your app must have HTTPS. But with CloudFlare you can get your app working with SSL for free, even without changing your source code.
