As of today i'm the proud owner of an Artemis to...
Coming from an MDA 3 this thing is a huge leap forward
The only thing that kinda bugs me is that i havent been able to find any MSN like apps on it.
It seems that Pocket MSN only goes as far as Winmobile 2003, perhaps any of you have a solution here?
Mine has Pocket MSN on it. Original ROM with no mods to it bought from Expansys. Not sure why your's wouldn't. In a pinch, you could use: http://mobile.msn.com to use the web version of it. Gives you everything except MSN Messenger but you can search the forums here for the Live Messenger Beta.

Contacts to Address Book
hey guyz,
has anyone tried that file i post the other day.
i installed it and used it for a good 1hr. the only thing i was not happy with was the first time you use it, it asks do u want to add contacts to device address book. the only options you have is OK for yes and Cancel. Do cancel and you cant login. So its forcing you add the contacts, which i dont really want. I was wondering if anyone knows how to get around this??

Hi cheers for the app.
I am rather new to this pocket pc game and I was wondering where I should drag this (unpacked) file or where (and how) I should install this.
thanks again
hey will
you and me both. forums are great help.
just place anywhere either on device or memory. then just simply click and it will do the install. and then you should find it under programs.
get anymore problems holla back.

ok i thought would be smart and delete the contacts from the device...hmmm not the best idea. Seems that it deleted the contacts within msn messenger as well.
anyone know i dont know how to get them back. without typing each one of my 200 contacts
why do microsoft have to make things so difficult
UPDATE 15/12/06 22:00
hi guys just to update you on this issue with the contacts. got my normal msn contacts back, thank god i do backups.
i have synced my MDA with my Apple mac and its built-in address book. Something i noticed on the MDA contacts was that there was one contact whose number, email/msn, address i had. and in his details it had his msn email under a field called IM (instant messeging). So i went back to my Mac Address book to see if it had similer field... and yep it did. So i spent a good 1hr changing all my 200 contacts email field into IM field...
Re-Synced the MDA and computer.... *wants to rip hair out*.... thats right no luck. Now my mda address book doesnt reconise the IM field from the Mac Address book...so the mda has no EMAILS at all now.
Hi all.
My Orbit has MSN installed, but instead I use the free Agile Messenger. Here's from the developers:
"Agile Messenger is the most feature rich and versatile Instant Messenger for mobile phones on the market today. Agile Messenger is used daily by over 2,000,000 users and has been perfected based on feature requests and feedback from tens of thousands of users. No other mobile Instant Messenger is as mature and reliable as Agile Messenger. "
You can get it here: http://www.getjar.com/products/5317/AgileMessenger
only about 500k file. Oh yeah, did I mention it's free?
Damn, I had to edit this post...this WAS free, I can see now that there's only a free trial. Well as they grow, the greed grows with them I guess... Even when I installed the previous FREE version after starting the program they FORCED me to upgrade, and then the upgraded app informed me that it will expire in 7 days unless...well you know.
ok, so just to do a quick recap.
I installed the above posted file, all went well, my contacts were imported and are now in my device address book and they are still on my msn on my PC.
What should I not do (or do) to not lose all my contacts?
oh and can the good gentleman that helped me before please tell me how to make a back up of my MSN contacts. CHeers

hi will,
congrats installing it.
this is the problem everyone is facing with live messenger. theres a thread about this problem.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=282540
one thing you DEF DONT!!! want to do (speaking from experiance lol) is delete the contacts from your device - Do that and contacts from your contacts PC msn messenger will happly be removed also.
if you want to back-up your PC msn that should be very easy. My experinace is based on msn on Apple Mac. Shouldnt be too different on Windows. YOu simply go to File > Save Contact List ... And choose a location to want.
Hope that helps.

hi rawedge,
the 2 ways i know of syncing is two apps
1) great app called Missing Sync can be found at here and is great syncs iCal, Address, Time, Photos, iTunes, etc see website for more details. Its one of the best app i have used for syncing.
2) the other one is called PocketMac i think this app doesnt have support for WM5 yet but should do soon.
http://www.pocketmac.net/
this is what there website says about WM5
"Windows Mobile 5:
We are currently testing cumulative updates for all of our Windows Mobile products (PocketMac Pro, PocketMac Lite and PocketMac Phone). We expect to have updates out shortly and will email all of our customers the moment they're available."
You can download both apps for a triel period, after which you have to pay for it. Altho i think Missing Sync is worth the money.
As far as i know of iSync doesnt sync with Windows Mobile platform. But i think missing sync uses some of the technology behind iSync for sync information.
Hoep this helps. Anything else just holla
thanks
I've just looked at missing sync however the artemis/02xda orbit isn't listed in their supported phones. has anyone got it to succesfully work? Don't want to fork out ££ if it's not going to work

hi rawedge,
when i said i thought it was worth the money. i ment that i have successful tested and used for the past 2weeks. without any major problems. i would def recommend it for mac to windows mobile syncing. worth the investment def.
hope it helps. if u need any more specfic info, will be happy to help

You could use Windows Live! Mobile. Please read the Wiki and search the forums next time before asking such a repetitive question .
You can get it from here (it's in the .zip file)
Ive just installed it on my phone, it really is the dogs danglies, far better than that £10.99 pocket msn rubbish Microsoft sell.
I used mobile live to get hotmail BUT this causes the wake up problem for me even after I remove it. I now use a fresh rom with GETMAIL program. I use the getmail freeware on my home desktop and forward all hotmail recieved to a pop3 capable account which I can use the built in outlook to check. Until a new version of live comes out I do not recommend it.

thank you very much!
although not searching for wmxl, I did search for hotmail with just abig misunderstanding on my part with the results. I guess sometimes mobile versions don't quite look the same as when rendered on the desktop. Once again thak you very much.
hello,
basically i want to ask is there anyway to disable the privacy protection settings in wM6 outlook. I want outlook to automatically download all the pictures in the email without my permission. Is it possible???
Thanks in advance
I'd like to download images automatically too without going through the options. What security issues are there about automatically downloading images?

1. What does this have to do with windows mobile 6
2. What does this have to do wth a Hermes
3. What does this have to do with a PDA
4. HTTP://WWW.GOOGLE.COM
4.1 Maby an off topic post
And in response to the question when you download a image from a server the server knows the fact that you requested the image.
Also you can actually put info into the image url eg : www.spammer.com/[email protected]
This then shows the spammer that the email [email protected] is active cause an e-mail client (outlook) downloaded the picture.

Knbhead!
1. outlook in WM6 can display full html emails, the 1st time a M$ mobile operating system can do this.
2. WM6 is now on the Hermes
3. Hermes is a PDA
The rest of your reply was an intelligent answer to a good question. Thanks.
This forum might as well shut down if a good question asked for the first time that affects a lot of people is flamed, we don't need xda-developers because we can spend hours going through Google for different questions instead of finding all the great advice in one place. What is the point of this forum if if we can't ask for help?

Dont know about you but my 2007 exchange downloads all the pics before i even opne the email.
Has anyone figured this out yet? I do know that Exchange will download the pictures but the POP3 will not automatically download. I have searched exstensivly with no luck.
I had the same problem with my POP3 account from Yahoo. There is an option in the Yahoo account (on the Yahoo server) to block images for privacy reasons, etc. I had to log in to my Yahoo account from my desktop, switch to the Yahoo Classic version (not the beta), then click options, then it is the 3rd page of the SPAM settings. Apparently it also affects emails that are sent to the mobile device. Hope this helps, even if you use another mail provider.
I have been searching the threads now for quite a while and I have tried several solutions so that messenger won't copy all of its contacts to my contacts/phonebook.
Has anyone ever found a good solution?
dude im waiting on that one too.

apparently an older build works... cant confirm that though... someone needs to merge all these Windows Live threads... (hint) (hint) taurusbullba
When you're finished browsing, just go to windows live and sign out (select sign in with a different account, and when prompted enter nothing/cancel). It should remove your msn contacts from your phone contacts.
It works for me
I know this should be up here somewhere and i did do a search. havent been on the site for a bit and it is way hard to navigate anymore.
probably too many phones out there now to keep up with.
any way, how can i back up my contacts to microsoft office 2007?
Ok first thing questions go in the Q&A section not general. Your contacts should be backed up on your Google account. If you use a computer and log into your Gmail you can download and save your contacts into a text file (word) or comma deliminated style (excel). I hope this answers your question
