hey just wondering if any one can help me. recently purchased my xda mini s and havent worked out how to delete all of the text messages in my inbox or sent items folder. is there a way of doing this?
Easy. Go to Inbox and drag the stylus accross all the items for deletion, then hold the stylus over the highlighted items and a menu will appear with Delete as the top option. You can also do this in the Sent box and once thats done if you go to Deleted Items and do the same again they will all be cleared.
cheers cant think why i didnt try that before

Is there a to have messages count as "read" (i.e. decrement the messages waiting counter) when using the touchflo preview screen. You can scan through messiges when thery are still in the envelope this doesn't change the new message counter, you actually have to open the message to reset the counter. I'd like to have messages count as read when I flip through them in their envelope rather than having to open spam messages that I dont want to read.
That would be nice. Or be able to delete from the mail tab. Right now, so I don't have to open spam, I hit inbox and then hold down on the message until I get the delete option (if it is at top of inbox, you can just hit delete softkey). Anybody else have a better way or an idea for a hack like mentioned?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=379265 you can put "mark all as read' with this .cab
Edit: noticed you said flip through them :/ i would like to do that also
Yes. I like that cab as well, but it would be cool to have more functionality from the mail tab, without having to open inbox. Right now when you hit menu, you have 3 options (New Mail, Accounts, Send/Receive). It would be awesome to get Delete, Mark As Read, Reply, Forward, etc.

I second this request. PLEASE, if someone could develop a tweak, cab, add on, etc that would add all or some of these features. I guess this is directed at HTC, carriers, and/or xda cooks. TIA to anyone who gits 'er dun
First of all I am using manila 2.5. When you slide to contacts a button appears saying "all people". When clicking on this button you abviously open the contacts manager, but it is the old (or windows) manager. The new contacts manager however is not only nicer, but gives you all the options back to send mails from a contact card even if you have installed the SMS patch. Because of the SMS patch you don't have this option any more in the old contacts manager.
My question now is how can I make sure that the "all people" button opens the new contacts manager?
Thanks in advance

What SMS patch are you using? I used this one here, and it did not affect my contacts list. Make sure you follow all 4 of the manual steps described in that post (not just step 3). If you tried something else, then uninstall it, soft-reset and try my link.

Hi Chris,
I am using this patch and BTW the cab file 1.2 does everything what the manual settings do, but you can't click in a contact card to send a SMS, mails work, not SMS. I have discuseed this already with the author and he knows that it doesn't work.
Anyway, this is not a solution for my qustion. The new manila 2.5.1920xx has a great new contacts manager and I want to use it everywhere I can, because it is not affected by zenyee's SMS patch, it looks nicer. But apaart from making a shortcut I don't see how I can use it as a softkey in in the home screen or in the contacts (people) tab.

I'm confused about what you wrote (the bold part I highlighted). What do you mean it is "not" affected? I thought you said it is affected - i.e. the "send message" part of a contact card doesn't work. Am I just totally misunderstanding you?
In any case, you can change the left softkey in the home tab to open the Manila contacts list instead of it bringing up the phone pad. All it is is registry entries that need to be changed. But, if you have the sms patch installed, I assume you'll continue to have the same problem.
Let me know if you want to change the left softkey in the home tab anyway. I made a cab for it so that I wouldn't have to manually make all the changes every time I hard reset my phone to factory defaults.
EDIT:
Here is the cab that will make those registry changes for you.
This is the ALL PEOPLE Reg Value, restore it using any Registry editor

Let me explain what I mean using the two screen shots: one from the classic contacts manager, the other from the HTC contacts manager. If you apply the SMS patch and open a contact and click on "send message", nothing will happen. If you use the other contacts manager, you can open a contact and click on send message and it will open the windows messaging service.
Look at the answer from zenkinz, see [Tweak/App] Disabling HTC Messaging in manila 2.5 (version 1.2 Updated on 29th Sep), page 17
zenkinz said:
yes the send message from the contact will not work. It's due to a service I've disabled, and if I don't disable it, you'll not be able to send the SMS from the winmo app, so it's a catch 22 situation. I'm trying to work on a fix for that, but it's going to be tough.

Now what I was looking for is to replace the contacts manager in the contacts (people) tab. If you click now on "all people" it will open the "old" windows contacts manager, I would like that the new and better (and nicer) contacts manager would be opened.
Thanks anyway for the suggestion, but I don't want to replace the left soft key on the home screen.

Okay, so you want to keep the sms patch installed, but you want the "all people" softkey in the contacts tab to open the new Manila contacts list? And how do you then plan to open the WM contact list so that you can use the "send message" option in a contact? Do you plan on having a home tab quick link to WM contacts? I guess that would work.
I don't know where the settings are to the left softkey of the contacts tab and I don't know if that particular option is available in the registry just like it is for the home tab softkeys. I also looked into adding a quick link in the home tab, but I can't get it to open the manila contacts (only the WM contacts).
Sooo.... I think I'm out of ideas. Maybe you'll consider changing the left softkey in the home tab as you mentioned at the end of your second post (that's why I mentioned it as an option in the first place ). I don't know what you currently have set for that, but if it is still the "phone" then you can always access that by using a hardware key on the HD. Or maybe you have something in that softkey that you can place in a quick link instead.
How do you copy and paste text without removing the stylus. I know how to select the text I want to copy by maneuvering the blue arrows, but I can't figure out how to copy it to the clipboard once it's selected.
How do you get S-Note to insert question marks? It will insert a period if I say period, but it actually types the words question mark when I say question mark.

Maybe a screen shot would help, what app are you in? Once you select text a menu should appear, like this. This is with chrome, the stock browser is similar. I didn't use the stylus with this.
Not sure on the S-Note thing.

Yes, I tried searching, but did not find anything specific to my question.
Basically, is there a way to add a folder to the stock email app? I would like to be able to move emails into a "Save" folder, instead of leaving them in my inbox, but I do not see any way to add/create a new folder.
I'm using all my email accts (yahoo, gmail, live, outlook.com) in Pop3.
thanks.

What you will need to do is create the folder in the email itself in a browser. Once that's done go to the email app on the phone and tap the inbox name at the top. it will give you a drop down of options, the last one should be show all folders and your new folder should be there (not required, but if you wanted to check). When you check mark an email and choose to move it, it will list all the folders available, if you don't see it just scroll and you will find it...

thanks for the reply... no go though... no additional yahoo folder showed up.. i have one in yahoo called "save"
If I am not mistaken the only way to have other folders is to use IMAP or Exchange POP does not allow for it.

You can create folders for each account, you just can't create a folder while using the combined view.
To the left of create an email it should say which inbox you are viewing. If it says combined tap it. A list will appear. Then select the account you wish to create a new folder in. (Let's say gmail) once in gmail inbox tap your menu button. (To the left of the home button). Select folders. This will show you your current gmail folders. At the top right will be a + sign. Tap that and add your folder.
You have to do that for each account. You can't move emails from different accounts into one generic folder. I have yahoo, gmail and my apple account. I can't select emails from all of those accounts and move them to one folder called personal. I have to create a personal folder for each account and move the emails from each account into its own 'personal' folder.
Hope that makes sense or helped.

Thanks for the help but it still doesn't work for me. I'm using the stock att email app from the clean rom roms.
As you can see in the screen shots, there's no plus button to add a new folder

I'd ask scott (from scottsroms) he is the developer for clean rom and shoupd be able to help.
If you were on the stock rom in the second screenshot there would be a + sign for adding folders.
I didn't realize you weren't on stock firmware. Sorry.

You are welcome. If you can set those mail boxes up AS IMAP or Exchange you will be able to add folders but not the POP accounts. At least I cannot add folders to POP accounts.
Can someone tell me how to "empty" icons that are stored in a folder back into the regular app drawer? The usual click, hold, and drag takes me back to the homescreen layout page. Just as a clarification, I'm talking about folders contained within the app drawer itself. I know how to handle everything on the home screen. Thanks in advance.
~Vol
I finger dinked and actually figured it out myself. Posting solution just in case others are wondering. While in the app drawer, click the menu button in the bottom toolbar and select edit. While in the edit mode, the icons are being moved around only inside the app drawer which lets you open the folders and drag the icons out. My OCD self can rest again.
