Hi!
I have a Dell Axim x50v (VGA device) running WM5 AKU 2.3, and would really want to have HTML support for email, since WM5 email client doesn't support it. I don't want to download any extra third-party application like Flexmail, but rather would like to know if there is some kind of a plugin for this native email client that allows HTML support.... I heard of WM6 and it's richer email client. Is there any way you can install WM6 email client on a windows mobile 5 device like mine? If not, is there any WM6 ROM that will work on my PDA? (Other things like viewing Internet Explorer Mobile in high resolution mode, or the new "calendar ribbon" would also be a worthy upgrade.)
.... There is a very slight chance that Dell will release an official WM6 upgrade considering how old my model is.... (it came out in 2004, being replaced by x51 models in late 2005).
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
For what I have read, you are basically out of luck.
You can't rip the email client out of WM6 since it seems to be very much incorporated within the OS. If you want to enjoy the WM6 email client you have to upgrade.
As far as if there is a WM6 I am not sure and since you have reached a HTC forum, well, have you tried a Dell site?

Quoted for the truth.
Outlook (PIM) depends on Shell, Shell depends on Coredll, Coredll depends on kernel. Bummer.
Like I said, there is no chance that Dell will be releasing WM6 upgrade for its handhelds, so visiting "aximsite" wasn't very usefull for me right now.
When you guys mentioned that the WM6 email client is very much incorporated with the OS, does the same apply with the Internet Explorer Mobile that now supports high resolution, or the Microsoft "MarketPlace"?
Is there at least a third-party HTML support plugin for the native email client, or is Flexmail the only solution for viewing HTML-formatted emails? (I would really prefer a "free" third-party application.)

Try Qmail IMHO the best email program and what is more important free
http://q3.snak.org/download/ take most up to date compilation from Nightly build section and don't be afraid about japanese page Qmail is in english! At the bottom of download page you'll find openssl extension for secure connections.
I can't properly download this "Qmail" program. If I want to download and install it through activesync by first of all extracting the zip file from the nightly build and then running the exe file, it eventually says "not a valid Win32 application" or something like that. In fact, i can't stand that official japanese website, cause i get that same message for anything i try to download from there.
Actually, i got a chance to see how Qmail works (looks pretty nice - it supports HTML, right?), but not necessary to use it. Instead of running it on a PC, i copied right away that zip file to my device, and installed Total Commander on my PPC. However, I had to extract each component for Qmail separately using the Total Commander. Really a disasterous download, if not even. It ended up opening the program, but never really saving it anywhere on my device. After a quick soft reset, there is no more trace of it.
So, SERIOUSLY, does anyone have an alternate cab or exe file of the latest nightly build for Qmail v3 that actually works, not links to that japanese website?
I think you don't get the idea of inslalling it it's not self installing program! unpack it on your desktop than move whole folder with all files (all dlls and q3u.exe) to some folder on your ppc, probably the best is storage card. You can copy files that way by opening activesync and than klicking on explore button there will be your ppc just like any other folder in normal desktop pc. Copy whole qmail folder to it and thats it, you can start qmail using totalcommander on ppc or later create some shortcut to program on today or in programs.
here is packed folder "Qmail" with all needed files unpack it on your desktop and copy unpacked folder with files to your ppc using activesync explore button! Sorry but I can't write it more simply This one works on my ppc as all other versions did!

Nice!!! I finally got Qmail installed on my device. Seems like it can do a lot more than just let you view HTML-formatted email. So, how well does it compete with the native WM6 email client?
Ohh, you guys never answered me about WM6 Internet Explorer. I find that IE that comes with WM5 takes very long time to open pages, or at least - fairly slow. (Doesn't work very well in the morning when you are in a rush, and don't want to wait for your PC to start up, and whenever it's ready to connect to the internet). Many WM6 reviews say that the WM6 IE is quite faster, supports AJAX, and especially more stable. (Don't know how to explain it to you, but when scrolling too fast the web pages, especially in landscape mode, at one point all the graphics and program icons become as if shattered with black, grey, green, red, ... lines -the images corrupted, that requires soft reset.) Not sure if this is an error, or if WM6 fixes it. That's why I was thinking of overwriting my current IEMobile with the Internet Explorer that comes with WM6. Or is it hard-coded, as well as WM6 email client, into the OS?
One last question. (sorry, if I'm bothering you guys too much.) Everyone knows that IEMobile of any kind does not allow multiple tabs. And i really would have preffered some kind of a plug-in, not a separate web browser, that allows it. I tried PIEPlus, but it also adds way too many features that I don't even need (i need a browser plugin that handles it as simple as possible) that only wastes more memory, and i think, slows down the IE even more. Any idea???
Ok, I know I was asking above lots of things. So, to make it easier:
1)Does anyone know how i can speed up my internet explorer mobile?,
2)And how i can fix that occasional screen error that occurs while browsing the internet that messes up my whole PDA?
So, um, can somebody help me?
Hello! Is anyone out there?
I am getting started with the Blue angel (O2 Xda IIs)
I like it a lot this will probably become my best buddy during my travels
I intend to use it for business purposes, mainly Internet through
Wifi and GPRS, pdf and offices documents.
I saw on this forum that you advise to change from WM 2003SE to Windows Mobile 6 (the last published by Microsoft)
-My question is: This PDA is already a bit old now, is it going to work smoothly wit the very last OS, which is designed for more recent PDAs (i.e which should be more efficient).
I mainly want to use it for Internet, wich browser do you recommend ?
Internet explorer? Opera Mobile? Opera Mini? other browser?
By the way what is the difference between Opera Mobile and Opera Mini
1. I propose you to search for information about differences between 2003 and wm5/6. Ity is hudge.
2. Look for problems you might encounter after update (not to be suprised). WM5 was never officially prepared and unleashed for BA, so it's straightforward and problem-free, but it works fine after all, if you know what you are doing.
3. Yes, WM5, WM6 and even WM6 work fine on BA (with some usual small problems). Speed is very good and much better than many other devices (for example my HTC Hermes is MUUUUCH slower that BA).
4. It's worth updating mostly because new software is usually not compatibile with PPC2003 any more.
5. Browsers: you have to test and decide on your own what you need, how you want it be feed and what are your restictions (speed, security). Like there is no one car for everyone (apart from Ford T) there is also no one browser for everyone. Test, try and choose on your own. You have the choice now (IE, Opera Mobile, Opera Mini, Netfront and 2 other experimental based on WebKit).
Opera mini is a java applet: you request a page, it is prerendered on proxy server in Norway (at Opera) and send back to your phone in scaled down version. Cheaper, faster, but less secure (never use it for your online banking). Works on virtually any java-enabled cell phone with internet access.
Opera Mobile is full Windows Mobile browser that downloads and renders everything directly on your phone. Worth trying, especially upcoming 9 series looks promising (alphas are already circulating on XDA forums).
I upgraded to Ricky's ROM on my dash and love it.
however I have a quandry. I want to go to MSNBC and get their multimedia app, so I can watch their stuff.
Their website www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17692217 lists the dash as supported, but our far superior rom reports as an HTC S-620. is there a way to change how the phone reports itself in order to convince the site it is supported, (when you click the link to get it, the site says your phone isn't supported .. yes i am clicking within the phones browser)
also is there a way to get opera mini to register itself as a desktop browser? when i go to aol.com it gives me the wap version.
doesn't work:
changing HKLM\windows\current version\internet settings\5.0\user agent\(default) string value started with HTC s620 to T-Mobile Dash (don't know if changing the next part to that is 5.2.968 to a different version number or if there should be a different spelling or punctuation)
changing hklm\ident\OrigName from HTC s620 to T-Mobile Dash
also is there a way to get opera mini to ID itself as a desktop computer and not a mobile phone at all times? when i go to AOL.com it shows me the WAP website
perhaps someone who still has a "dash" can go to the link and download the program and the put it where we can see if it will install on a dash that is no longer a dash? see if it signed to only install on a particular device.
hello, i now i'm not a genius but i can take direction or instrucctions..i tried to download your jzsmartmort application but i guess my phone couldn't support it or it was me who didn't know how to installed it..anyways i did have problems with the original ie icon it said that an error or could not run the mortscript ..but i finally uninstalled the program..ok, the thing is that i defenetly would like to see if you mr jzsmartmort can provide me with a program other than my original ie on the phone that i can use..i already have syfire but is too slow..i tried opera mini but it doesn't let me installe the program..like i said i'm not an expert but i can defenetly follow instrucctions on how to download applications or other programs that could make my phone a better phone or a phone that has a lot of programs i can use..thanks a lot and in hopes to receive a good response..
well....
well, i use multiple browsers for different reasons. i rarely use IE, skyfire is good for full sites and flash and, I use opera mini for most of my searches and overall browsing. im tinkering with a few others. They just came out with a smartphone friendly version of the full opera browser v10 beta 3. Id try that but it is kind of slow as well. In regards to opera mini, you do have java installed on your phone right?
btw, smartmort doesnt install more browsers. cool stuff though once you figure it out lol
Greetings!
My question is: how to disable Update Profile tool on Sprint Firmware , so it would be not
to run automatically once a day?
Help me please. Thanks!
I've since updated to the Tmo official 6.5 update back in Jan. I haven't really used internet explorer that much since I've been doing little tweaks here and there. Now when I go to a site ,which I go to alot for traffic/cameras, now it always say "it is not signed or have a trusted certificate." I never had this problem with the older version of IE when I had 6.1. Now I noticed also that if I use google to search and click on the link it always say, "this site is not endorsed by google" blah,blah,blah. Anybody else having this problem. Man might switch back to 6.1 or get the HD2
