The one Windows Mobile tweak that I can't live without!
I could never understand why it would take forever for my Comcast email to connect and logon so I could download email to my device and yet on a different account it seemed to be almost instantaneous. For a long time I figured that it was just the way Comcast was so I just sort of lived with it ... but I was not happy about it.
But then by a stroke of luck I ran across a discussion about this very issue and someone posted a "Tweak" that would forever change how I would receive my Comcast email. It was a simple fix and if you have a registry editor, you can change how you receive your Comcast email in just a few seconds.
Comcast Registry Fix
There's a registry fix that speeds up that long Comcast logon process. Using the registry editor of your choice (mine is Resco), go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Inbox. Create a new DWORD named ForceOffSSL. Assign to it a value of 1. Save, and do a soft reset. You will immediately see the difference in the connect/logon speed.
The sad thing is that I can't give credit where credit is due on this one. It was a tweak I got years ago and saved it in my "Tips and Tweaks" file. But to whom ever it was that figured this one out, I am forever grateful! Note: You can see FULL screen shots of the three pictures above after the break

Really? It sure seems to work on my devices.
As soon as I applied the tweak, my ability to log on and get mail was significantly enhanced.
