using SMS notifications to activate ActiveSync?

I would like to develop an application which listens for incoming SMS, verify which ones are email notifications and automatically starts Activesync to retrieve emails, synchronize calendar and so on.
Is this feasible?
I have heard that you can't use the sms API as the interface is stolen by the 'phone edition' bit and you have to use the CE MAPI interface instead, working on SMS once they have been stored in the Inbox.
Any experience with this? Code bits?
Thanks, ciao,

SMS notifications
You can use the RIL interface to get notification of about anything to do with the GSM part. However, it is not very well documented. If you go to the URL below you'll find a small app that will display notifications for incoming SMS messages and incoming SMS status reports.
However the message part is still encoded! There are some library calls that can decode the message, but I have not yet figured it out.

Setting groups

Hi
Im on winmo 6.1 and i was wondering if we can set contact groups.
Example when i send mass text i have to constantly build the list, and i know on the iphone it keeps the list so you can easily next time just type the text message instead of rebuilding the contact group
any ideas??

If i had to guess. Make a new contact just for SMS and MMS sending.
Add the phone numbers or contacts in that contact seperating the numbers with a ; and a space.

This is something that used to be in Windows Mobile 2003, but was removed around WM5. Categories, filters, etc. seem to be there, but they don't work for much, if anything. I have yet to find a way to edit categories, make new ones, or assign them to contacts on the phone under WM6.1.
A few posts were made in other forums on here about pocketPC apps that do the job. I don't know of one for a smartphone. It's all a jumble in my memory, but one of those apps that lets you assign different ringtones to individual contacts and groups of contacts has the feature for SMS as well, I think. Try a search and see what happens.

I have searched far and wide as well
what Mikey says is pretty much gospel. So far, there is no other way to do this other than create a HUGE contact with all of the numbers you want added to it. Then, you just sms that contact you created. No other ways are possible, YET. Mikey RULES!

Yes, Mikey has a decent kludge to get around WM's limitations. The weird question is why the limitation was added in WM5? For all the plusses, it sucks that a phone of this calibre can't do something a $15 Nokia can.

i tried making a contact with "number; number" format and it didn't work. I get this error
Cannot send to e-mail recipients from the Text Message account.
any ideas how this can be possible?

are you placing email address' or phone numbers in the "SMS contacts?

phone numbers

all im doing is making a new contact
and in the phone number field just typying in phone numbers ie. 1234567899; 1234567899; 1234567899
when i select it to send a message to it shows NameofContact<12345667899; 1234567899; 1234567899>
then i get an error when i try to send

Email Messaging on HTC Touch Pro2

Hi All,
Say, if i do emails on my tp2, i send the email out and forget to bcc me, i forward the email to myself separately. I only get my signature without the full contents. Wondering if this is normal??
Is there any way we can configure the client or alternate programs to like pull emails like from 9am to 6pm instead?
Kinda like Nokia's default email client on e71s, i can choose when and how to download emails. And at the same time have an option to automatically send me a copy of the emails.
Thanks alot in advance or sorry if this is a stupid question..
EDIT: Is this a known thingy? Will wm 6.5 be addressing this issue?

1. When I forward mails, the entire message is included. I can think of 2 reasons why this isn't working for you.
a. You use Windows Live email (ie Hotmail) and you didn't toggle on the setting in Windows Live to include original message when replying/forwarding.
b. You've only set to download the email headers. You need to download the full message from the server before forwarding to include the whole message.
2. You can schedule your email push/pull between specific times of the day only if you use Windows Live or Exchange.
I know many people like to bcc themselves on all emails but you can just check the Sent folder as an alternative. I guess it's just a matter of preference...

My work email is primative pop3/smtp.. I'm using the default messaging on the htc touchflo3d, not the windows live.
Hmm.. i'll try the down entire message thingy..

Hi,
Have tried to use download entire email messages... still the same.. when i forward the email out.. it goes until only my signature.. does not forward the entire message

anymore ideas??

I was wondering that perhaps it may be because you're connecting via POP3. But this doesn't appear to be the case. I just tested setting up my Gmail account via POP3 and I can forward messages just fine.
After you tap on "Forward", you should be taken to a compose screen where you type in your recipients. If you scroll down, do you see the original message in full?

thats the thing... i can see the whole email in full.. theres teh "edit original sender's message" thingy...
but when i actually click send.. it only send out the portion i typed.. -.-
I have sent my phone in for service b4, updated software, hard reset... all the same... maybe i'll try my gmail and update again..

What happens if you tap the part thatt enables you to edit the original message before you send?

same ; ;
10chars

tested with Gmail and yahoo... by configuration, both uses imap on the client..
tested with my other personal email from isp... think i found a pattern..
If i forward from inbox.. everything ok..
If i forward from sent items... only what i type is sent...
i didnt test on imap.. deleted my account.. anyone got any observations??

any help??!?? ; ;

New mail notification for IMAP folders

I know this has been asked several times, but I never seen a conclusive answer (and maybe that is the answer in and of itself):
When you use IMAP with Outlook Mobile (this is a standard internet IMAP account, not exchange), your unread message count and your new email notification is only for your Inbox main folder. Subfolders do not get counted, and what is more frustrating is that there is new notification. I used to have a Nokia E71 and used Seven email client on that and it also did not normally show the total unread in all folders, but it did notify me when an email came in in a subfolder, and so I'd check my box and if there was nothing, then I would check my subfolders for new mail.
I have also heard people say this is an Outlook overall problem, including desktop versions. I'd have to disagree. Sure, the unread count at the top level of the account is only going to show the unread in the Inbox, but I have been able to tell Outlook to alert me whenever a new message comes in regardless of its folder. But I haven't found a way to do that in Outlook Mobile.
Is there a registry edit that can help me? If not, has anyone found that System Seven works on WM 6.5 so as to alert you whenever a new mail is downloaded, regardless of folder? When I tried it, it didn't seem like it.
Any clues appreciated.

Same question here on wm 6.5. for 6.1 there is a plugin available "Message notify " from blackmon labs which does the task. Anyone got a solution on 6.5 ?

[Q] SMS from PC

For our work process, we send SMS to our customers via the phone so that there is a chat log to check the conversation history. We have a custom code in ms Access (vba) which the program automatically process the message we want to send.
With the button in ms access, it will use the software myPhoneDesktop to send a message to the iPhone. This iPhone will in turn decrypt the message and set the message in the SMS app so that the phone number and message are in the right place. All we need to do is to press the 'Send' button on the iPhone.
We now want to upgrade to the Note II and wonder if there are anything similar. There is a MobileGo by Wondershare which has an excellent SMS function which we can send SMS directly on the desktop (the messages are also logged in the SMS thread so it's exactly like sending through the phone) or Moborobo which does it similar.
What we need now is to make a similar function in ms access to automatically send the message through this software so we do not need to copy and paste the message ourselves. I have thought of using macro, but it will have to record mouse clicks and everything so it's not efficient in the long run.

Ufff... I'm sorry I can't help more, but the only thing I can think of are:
1) Use an app that allows you to send an email, or reply to an email (which is actually an SMS Forwarded from your phone) and having the reply be sent as an email.
2) Samsung Kies Air and Airdroid offer sending SMS through its interface.
But I don't know of anything that can help you through Access :s. Sorry

Install MyPhoneExplorer on your gNote-II and MyPhone Explorer (PC Client) on your PC. With this now you can use your PC client to send SMS. Further, you may integrate the PC app with your MS access for further needful..
Google MyPhoneExplorer for links...

I am not sure whether I understand the question correctly, but have a look at MightyText
