SMS Questions

Appreciate any help with the following questions regarding SMS:
On the home screen is it possible to hold more than 25 texts on display to scroll through without having to go through all messages tab?
When deleteing messages in the all messages tab,is it possible to delete messages seperately when you have multiple messages from the same person.I keep deleteing whole "conversations" rather than just one or two that I don't need to keep.(hope that makes sense)
And finally,is it possible to add another folder to the list i.e. named friends for example,as well as the standard deleted,drafts,inbox,outbox and sent folders?
Apologies if this has been asked before,but I'm all searched out on this one! lol.

you could try to change the layout of the messages, instead of threaded, you could put standard and delete one by one? I haven't personally tried this though.
Of course deleting from TF3D would delete just one message...

Thx for reply............anyone else have any ideas,even if its just to tell me it cant't be done,at least I'd know ,thx.

Bump.............any help??

Thanks for the tip on changing the message layout from threaded(I'm a complete noob and have only just found out how to do this in tweak!) I think this will solve the problem of deleteing messages I want to keep.
Can anyone enlighten me on how to/if at all possible,add another folder to put messages that I want to keep into. e.g. Friends folder,Work messges folder etc,cheers.

Search e-mails

I am coming back to Dash after a while with Palm and PocketPC, so excuse my ignorance.
I tried to search the answer to my question, but I guess it is too general.
Is there a way to search for e-mails? I mean input text and let the PDA search for different fields. I know that PPC has a Search in the main menu and my old Treo 680 has even hardware button.
Any idea how you can search through e-mails and/or other items such as tasks, calendar, or others. Any idea?

depending on the rom you have on your device, you just start typing while in your inbox.
for example: if i was searching for an email about your mom, while in the inbox, i would type "koli..."

I am using ookba's 3EVO ROM and I just tried it and it works. But it does not work in the tasks or calendar. Is there such a tool, which would allow me search through tasks and calendar? Also, the e-mail search searches only through name, subject and address. I wondered if I could search through body of the message.
Thanks

SmartphoneFind will do that, but not free and it is slow at searching as it seems to be searching everything or searching algorithm is slow i dont know. u can try it for 30 days, from here:

I dont use email on my Phone, but if you go into the START MENU then TOOLS and then click SMS Tools Pack ... that has a search feature...I dont know if that works for the e-mails though. It is worth a shot...
This can also be access from the SMS/MMS inbox by clicking the MENU SoftKey and go down to (#8 ?) SMS Pack.
Good Luck

Thanks for the advice (I like when people spend their two cents ). I checked it but it works only for the SMS. But it appears to works with keywords through the body which is nice to know.
Anyway, if somebody has another two cents I am all poor in this department.

[Q] Is there a way to delete multiple emails at once?

Currently using the stock email program with my Samsung Epic Touch, which doesn't seem to have an option to delete multiple emails at one time.
Anyone have a work around so one can delete multiple emails at once? In other-words...a select all messages, so you don't have to select each message one by one.
If not, anyone know of an email client that allows multiple email deletion at one time?
Thank you,
Skid

kaiten email does just that..been using it for several months now..

Thanks to all who replied and i apologize for not explaining this better.
What I want to do is...delete all messages rather than selecting each one, one by one.
In other-words...have an option for -select all messages - and then have the option to delete them all at one time so you don't have to check each message, one by one.
Thank you,
Skid

This is not possible with the stock email app.
This is why most people who want to access pop3 accounts use a 3rd party email app. The stock email app also sucks for IMAP accounts that have any real security on them.
Try one of the free email apps in the market... K-9 is actually pretty good, and is what I use to access my work email.

as I said before, the only program I found that does exactly this, and a lot more is kaiten email, in the market..here is the link

Thanks wase4711 for the reply again and the link. I will give Kaiten email a try.

[Q] Q: How to chose default messenger per contact

Hi
I did try to Google but couldn't find the answer....
Is it possible to choose the default messenger per Contact (not global default messger App?)
For example, for some of my contacts I would like to use WhatsApp, and for others SMSPro.
When I chose to send a message to the respective contact (from the address book), the appropriate app should be launched.
Any help would be most appreciated. This has been nagging me for sometime.
Thanks in advance

Why do you want to do this?

Firstly, thanks for replying to my query. Now for the reason....
For my contacts who are availabe on WhatsApp I would like to use it, for the rest I would like to use normal messaging app.
(Others may even want to extend it to other similar apps too.)

I'm not 100% sure, but i don't think you can. Unless you just don't choose a default message app. Then everyone you wanted to send a text message, a box will pop up asking which app you want to use. I think.

Thanx, this is what I do right now but is quite annoying. I guess I will use the WhatApp app directly for the few contacts that use this specifically.
Would be a great option to have.
I could think a similar aspect for the dialer app too. Use Google Voice, default dialer, ....

[Q] Mail Settings - Next or Previous?

Hey everyone. Maybe I am missing a setting here, maybe not.
On my older Android devices one feature Ive enjoyed was the ability that when deleting an email in the stock mail app, I could choose to go to the next or previous email and not always back to the email list. Is there no way to do this on this device?

In the GMail app under General Settings, there is a "Auto-advance" option. Selections are Advance to "Newer", "Older", or "Conversation List" I think if you select "Newer" it will go to the next newer email. I haven't tested yet.

Im talking about the regular mail app, not gmail. I use it to connect to exchange accounts for work.
