After flashing my Cingular 8525 device with LVSW's latest WM6 rom, I can no longer send text (sms) messages to an email address as I was able to do before.
I found a workaround for this actually. I found this on wikibooks:
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Cingular_Wireless_FAQ#How_Can_I_Send_E-mail_From_Any_Cingular_Phone.3F
Basically instead of sending an email direct to an email address, you would send it to 121 with the email address at the beginning of the message body followed by a space. I tested it and it works, but it is a pain as I have to manually type the email address rather than choosing it from my address book.
Does anyone know of a permanent fix for this problem? The problem seems to be that there is no longer a gateway between SMS and email. I tried searching the registry for a possible fix but nothing jumps out at me. I also tried searching the forums and the wiki but to no avail.
Kudos to LVSW for a great rom, BTW...
This one might help,
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Inbox\Settings]
"SMStoSMTPShortCode"="121"

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried adding that value to my registry but it still isn't letting me send an SMS to an email address. Here's the exact error message:
"Cannot recognize one or more recipients or the address is not valid. Would you like to send the message anyway?"
So I hit yes then it says:
"The Text Message account cannot be used to send e-mail messages."
Anybody have any more ideas? Tomorrow I'm going to get a hold of a buddy at work that has a Cingular 8525 and see if I can find the settings in his registry.
Is this something that will be fixed possibly with the Cingular apps cab install? Or is that only applications and not settings such as this?
Try this one

Maybe it could resolve
Hi,
Have the same error message on my TyTN when trying to send or reply to any SMS I receive.
Have found a solution on the web to resolve this and remove the error message :
go to messaging/menu/options/address tab
(in, contacts, get email addresses from) : choose [all e-mail fields].
Hope it can help some users ...
Regards to all
Thanks.
It did help. Solved m SMS problem.

Is this a DWORD, etc? what do I need to add?
If your on AT&T just use this..Worked for me in the past..
not working properly
i did install this cab file, JASJAM WM5. i send sms to many people, like groups, but i get same error. it send only on 1 or 2 sms but not to all recipient. Any help?
Well I finally got my TyTn, TNT flashed, unlocked and good to go!
However, I have one question/issue.
Until I can get Blackberry Connect to work (how do I create a PIN?) I am using my IMAP4 account.
I did this all the time with my old 6700 and had no problems, but under WM6, it will start to download/send email and crash most of the way through.
Any thoughts?
Thank you!
Yeah I'd noticed this problem recieving IMAP mail in WM6 on my Hermes. WM5 worked without a problem. With WM6 it will receive about 50% of my email and then say something like "failed to download email". I then click on the 'Send/Receive' option again to get the rest of the email. It's not a show stopper but is a little annoying. If anyone has any suggestions I'd be grateful. Maybe there are some timeout settings in the registry that I don't know about.
Hello,
I've looked through the forum, but can't find anything relating to what I'm after- so any help would be gratefully received!
I get 30-70 emails a day through my company's exchange server (2003), workign with activesync. Works really well, but I'd like to be able to transfer the important emails into Tasks (a bit like you can do on outlook).
Is there any application that'll let me do that?
...Or alternatively any application that will let me flag important emails quickly?
Thanks!
Hola XDA,
Basically I'm experiencing a few 'inconvenient' issues with Exchange ActiveSync.
When I recieve an E-Mail/s if I delete them then they dissappear, however when Mail sync's this change rather then the change happening they just re-appear as un-read E-Mail's. I have double checked on Hotmail to make sure that the settings allow the client to delete E-Mail's and the settings on there say that it's allowed.
Would appreciate any help with this, just as I know the problem isn't existant on the iPod Touch.
Thankyou very much!
There seems to be a new "bug" or whatever, in these later "upgraded" versions of K9. My home internet/email provider doesn't allow using their smtp while on another network. So far, it hasn't been a problem, since K9 allows sending via smtp of choice, with as many aliases as you want. Now, suddenly, no other smtp seem to accept sending email via alias. So far, I've tested Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail & Mail.com. Same result - "server doesn't allow aliases", or else it works, but the smtp change sender email back. What gives? Have all smtp providers suddenly stopped accepting this? Hard to believe. I suppose it must have something to do with the later versions of K9. Anybody else experience something similar? Any input would be appreciated....

Am I really the only one using K9 aliases/other smtp:s here? Or does it work for everybody else?
