Today-screen says Emails: (0) although there are new messages (IMAP) - HTC Excalibur

Hi guys,
I have a HTC Excalibur sporting WM6. I am using the default messaging app with an IMAP account. My problem is, that whenever I recieve a message, the message count on the today-screen says "SMS: (0), Emails: (0), MMS: (0)".
Does anyone know how to solve this? When using a POP3 account the same happened.
Thanks for your help!

Notification: 0 emails
I have the same problem. Did you ever find a solution? It worked fine when I was on the T-Moblie ROM but now that I've flashed to the HTC 1.33 ROM it just says "Emails: (0)" on the today plugin even though there are new emails in pop3 or imap (non-outlook accounts). Does anyone know if there is a registry key that handles which account flags the notification? Thanks.

This happen to me too....
Go to Settings>Sounds> and change your new email sound. Mine was set at none.
It worked for me.

My Excalibur can count now!
Thanks for the reply although I don't see how a sound will fix the visual indicator on the home screen. I didn't try it myself since I've already found another workaround that I'm very happy with.
Good news: my Excalibur can count now!
After doing a little more research I found out that this is a bug in the HTC today plugin. Upon changing the homescreen layout file from HCT 1.11 to something else it will be corrected. I even attempted at writing my own xml file for the today screen and it worked just fine.
Bottom line is that there are many better looking and functioning home screens out there just use one of them instead of the built in HTC plugin...or just write your own. I'm using "Twilite" and absolutely loving it.
Kudos to everyone out there for contributing to the community and helping to make our phones much better devices. Thank you!

Windows Live notifications in WMXL .20

I have posted this a few times in the "issues" and "chatter" and one or two other people are having this problem. I have switched my exchange push email from mail2web (at least until they upgrade to Exchange 2007) to Windows live (hotmail) so that I can get pushed HTML. It is, for the most part, working very well in Kyphur's Rom, but there is one relatively major problem. I have indicated in sounds and notifications that I wish to receive sound and on screen notifications of all e-mail that arrives. Windows Live does not seem to be working properly in that you occasionally (1 out of 7-8 emails) receive a sound and on screen notification of email. I am guessing there is some kind of registry entry that could fix this. Any ideas or solutions would be welcome. I have placed Windows Live on the today screen, so I do get some indication of new mail, but no sound or pop up, so the screen must be turned on and you must be looking at it to see that there is new mail. Thanks in advance for any ideas or thoughts.
I find that Phonealarm works for me, always notifies of new 'pushed' hotmail.
I also get this problem, is there any suggestions?
It could be the problem of ROM you are using. I am using Faria's ROM and I checked Windows Live after getting to know about it from your thread. Its working fine but I think there are some time intervals even if you select for as it arrives option for SYNC of Windows Live. Thanks for the information, i was trying with mail2web but got the alternate. Do check with the ROM cooker.
Edited
Ok I got the main reason. If you are using any Live version and signed in through your Personal Computer not the windows mobile device then you will not get the Push Email as it assumes you are available somewhere to check the email. Do check about it and I am sure you will get the notification and sound if you are not signed in anywhere in world on Live messenger. You will be having this push email thing.

HELP ... WM6 - 2 Small questions

I have two small questions. Hopefully they are eay to answer though I have had no luck so far finding if the answers are here.
1) In the mail / sms app the left soft key is "delete", can this be changed to "new" as it was in wm5 ?
2) In the nice new HTML email mode I get my emails fine, but the images don't download in the mail. Is it possible to stop each mail promopting and for it just to happen ?
May not be ROM specific but just in case, I am using Schap's WM6 Pro 4.31.
Thanks for reading
Dave
hi Dave, firstly, no you cannot change the button back. Well not that i know of. Annoying.
Secondly, i assume you are connecting to an msexchange 2007 server so that you are actually viewing the mail in html, a lot of people made the mistake of assuming that wm6 would give them html email through their existing ex2003 server.
I am guessing though that the images in the emails are being seen as attachments and are therefore not downloaded until you say so. Maybe you should tick the box to download attachments automatically and limit the size of them to something sensible. Probly dont want to try this unless you have a decent data plan.
Hi,
Thats a shame. I keep deleteing my message when trying to send new ones !
Actually I am not using any server for my mail. I am collecting directly from my ISP using pop3. The message contains a little notification bar just like IE would saying that I should click it download the images.
Someone I know who has this ROM said that there was a reg key i could change and it would do it all automatically.
Cheers for the response.
Hi dmj1973,
I have done quite a bit of Google research on the pocket Outlook issue of not automatically downloading pictures, and there doesn't appear to be a solution. I myself have switched to qmail and no longer have that problem.

Can't read text messages on Dash 6.1 - Only Header

I searched all the forums about this issue but all I can find is things dealing with setting up text messaging. I have no network problems with data, text, or voice I just used the HTC network wizard.
Whenever I get a text message I can see the the beginning of the text in the selection screen but when I click on it the message is blank? So I can't read the whole text. I searched this Forum but couldn't find any people with similar problems. It seems to send them fine I just can't read the whole message for some strange reason. I have been clearing my memory and then flashing my Tmob Dash for the last three Kavana releases, they all exhibit this behavior. Any help appreciated with my problem.
What Rom are you using?

Kavana 080408. The texts that I get show up on the main screen with a little bit of the text but when I click on them they don't show anything. I tried pressing all the buttons I can but it doesn't seem to do anything.
See is UNthreading them helps.
Uhm, just a silly guess here, but next time you're on the blank screen, click menu (right softkey) > 5 (Folders) > change to inbox, at least if it's not on inbox already. My friend changed his to sent and couldn't figure out why he couldn't see new ones either hehe
I looked everywhere in the messaging app and also the regular phone settings I don't see anything for unthreading. Also MMS can be viewed and sent normally. Just whenever I try to send or read a recieved text I have problems. When I try to send a text it doesn't let me type anything in at all. Not recipient and not the body of the text.
No I have already gone to all the folders. The inbox folder is where I can see the messages. You can read the begining of them, and who it is from but when you select one it doesn't show anything.
I had the same issue before, the problem disappeared after I uninstalled CE-Star (Chinese-reading problem).. do you have it installed?

Check in Accessibility Folder for unthreading.
DON'T Turn off the Damn active x
I finally fixed this problem.
I had a problem with WM 6.1 will only showing the headers and not allowing you to read the contents of : Text messages, Emails, MMS. This errors would also not allow you to write emails or text messages.
I thought Kavana's ROM had some big error with it but no one else was complaining. I downloaded Ricky's rom but same problem. So this weeked I fooled around with my phone believing it was some program I was installing. Even though I only install Google Maps, TCPMP, YGo, and Windows Live. I would install something then restart. I tried installing them one by one then it seemed to work but still after a time was becoming broken. I thought it had something to do with synching corrupted contact data. So I didn't synch but after a while it still came back.
This morning I finally realized that if you turn off active x it breaks the email and text which I assume both use IE active x The bad setting is.....
Main Settings Menu->IE Settings->Advanced Options -> NEVER TURN OFF ACTIVE X CONTROLS.
I think if Kavana, my personal hero, rolls another ROM you should take out this option.

I am glad to hear that you fixed and resolved your problem, and haha I hope that Kavana makes another Rom, he is awesome. But then again I got to thank Ricky for this rom to I love it.
hello i am having the exact same problem i checked all advice given i.e. make sure it is on inbox folder, check ie active x is enabled, and no change.
any advice
also when u do see the message headers like yianaki but when you select the message and then press a soft key it says"message cannot be signed and/or encrypted"
You need an encryption key for your email and you don't have it on your dash email, maybe. Just a guess. Is there documentation as to what you need to set up your email. What steps did you need to take to get your email on your home computer.
i actually have kavana 6.1 version 080408 so i just used the connection setup for US tmobile. and it was working previous to this problem. i did a hard reset now and its back to normal for now
SWEEEET!
Thanks "Y" you saved my life, I had the same problem. Keep Active x controllers checkmarked "On".
change IE option.
I had the same problem only can view the header of a msg, but can
t see the content. Here is what I did to solve it: go to IE\tools\option\general\encoding\change to Unicode
Cant Open Text Message.
Hi, I'm from Jamaica, I bought my HTC S621 from Digicel Jamaica [here]. I followed the instructions and installed WM6.1 80408 Kavana and it was totally amazing, I did it on Saturday and it worked great, everything was working GREAT. On Sunday I realized I was unable to open my text messages for viewing. When I click Text Message, the colour wheel shows and it starts to open then it closes. I did all the suggested this in this thread but nothing works, any more suggestions please, I really need to send text messages to my work crew and this is a major hindrance. I dont know how to soft or hard reset and would like to try that first, any other suggestion would be great. Thanks.
PLEASE dont laugh or throw tomatoes, I fixed it. In my attempt to load a Yahoo messenger app I installed an SMS application that was causing the issue. Problem solved, sorry to be a bother.

Just wanted to voice my agreement with Yianaki about "Never turn off Active X controls". The whole issue lies in the fact that the text messaging app is basically an Active X control. But I wanted to add the reminder that you need to make sure that the "Text Messages" app gets closed then reopened after you make the change, or it will not appear to work. (Use the task manager/celetask to close it)
I had the exact same problems with text messages: I could send an MMS, receive an SMS, but not send an SMS. When a text message came in, it showed up in the list as expected, but an attempt to view it resulted in a blank area with no useful menu options. I also couldn't send text (SMS) messages out because the create-new-SMS screen was blank and non-functional. It has nothing to do with the threaded vs unthreaded Accessibility settings for the phone, nor do you need to worry about configuring your WAP settings (GPRS and MMSC Settings); the "Connection Setup" app takes care of everything for T-Mobile perfectly. It's all an Active X issue.
PS: This is all on Ricky's v24 "Vanilla" ROM of WinMo 6.1 running on a T-Mobile Dash.

Thank you!!! I've had that happen before, and got so frustrated with it that I removed the email tab from tf3d A new rom install fixed it, but I can't remember what caused it to begin with. Now I'll be able to try new things again without cringing...

email being hidden/deleted after X days??

Hey, my boss and I just got the Rhodium and I am in charge of setting everything up to his wishes. However, we seemed to have run into something strange: the email on his phone seems to be hidden or deleted after a certain amount of days.
He is connecting using IMAP and all the mail is still on the server, but this morning his phone seemed to have hidden/deleted all mail from 3 days ago and before.
I can't find anything relating to these settings in the phone, can anyone help me with this problem?
You will need to alter the settings which can/should be found as:
Go to the email screen where you would read your mail. While there go through the following options:
Menu -> Tools -> Options -> [select the required account] -> send recieve schedule
From there the option is available in a drop down menu.
Hope that will work.
they aren't hidden, but deleted. But it's just a copy. the idea is that you don't need all the emails, only the recent on on your phone. it could (if you work with a lot of attachments) fill your memmory.
But waht music art1st said, you can said you want the email from the past 3 weeks or some other period.
Thanks a lot, I managed to find the settings now. I was a bit confused because the phone is in Dutch and I am only really used to running all my OS's in English so things were a bit difficult to find.
What you said worked perfectly though!
i had the same problem, and the solution was changing my configuration to IMAP not POP
emails
may be some one had this problem as well:
When you receive an Outlook e-mail message that was sent by using a russian version of Windows mobile, the name that appears in the From field may not appear correctly.
Email is ik, i read all and topick appears ok, but person name and address are shows like lots of letters: "njdnfjdnjfnd" if i press on it them it will show me the address.
On TP1 i didnt have this problem. but in TP2 i have it and i dont know how to fix it.
Thank you for help in advance.
