Send contacts' vcard via eMail (and not via MMS) - Touch HD Themes and Apps

Hi,
I have a general question: Is it possible (in WM6.1 or new Manila) to send a vcard contact via eMail (and not via MMS)? If I choose "Send contact" always it opens the send MMS dialogue, and I cannot save the vcard file.
Eriol

hi,
I'm very interested in a solution for this too. When you can only send the contact card pr mms, the new "my contact card"-feature from manial doesn't make sense

I wonder if someone has found a solution to this problem yet? The new manila contacts works so good - but how can I exchange a contact via email?
Eriol

Wow. I find it hard to believe that this isn't possible. Has anyone figured this out yet...?

Meanwhile I am using a newer Manila
but I still haven't found what I'm looking for.
Even HTC seems to ignore this problem - any workarounds/ideas or (freeware) tools that may help us here???
Thanks,
Eriol

Yes, this is unbelievable !
I'm using a workaround for this.
1st/ start a send vcard (MMS)
2nd/ the card is stored in folder /temp. Filename seems always to be 'me.vcf'
3rd/ attach it to a normal email using whatever kind of file explorer !!

this thread is 2 years old, i guess we can consider the matter resolved. also, i already posted a detailed tutorial on this matter a few months ago.

Where are my sent email items (and sent SMS)?

Hello all, have looked but couldn't find any posts about this problem (although I recall reading about this problem some time ago) so please, apologies if this duplicates previous posts.
I have checked the box to keep mail sent in the sent mail folder and am using the pocket outlook application supplied with the BA.
Am using an IMAP email account to send and receive email and have confirmed emails are being sent no problem (sent one to my work email and see it hitting my in box), mail is being received by the BA no problem as well.
The problem is when I send an email it isn't keeping a copy of it in the folder called "Sent Items", this goes the same for my SMS messages :x
I am using GPRS to send the emails at the moment but I guess this shouldn't make any difference.
Am i missing something here or have to reset for changes to take place or something??????
Your guidance is apprecaited. :wink:
copy send items
Go to tools - Options in messaging and tick the box keep copy of send mail in send folder ans your problems is solved i think

Sending email via SMS

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.

Hotmail Sync Problem

Hi,
Im havin problems syncing my hotmail account through the windows live program - it syncs contacts and the inbox perfectly and get all the info - but it does not sync all my other folders.
I like to put my emails into different folder (e.g. University, Ebay, Play.com, Family etc etc) so I keep myself organised. The thing is if I want a file that a friend sent me two weeks ago and I put it in the University folder I cannot get to it and would have to transfer it before hand from my pc to my inbox. (ie the mails inside my other folder are not being synced)
Is there any way I can solve this? Maybe some setting I missed or an update to WMLive that fixes this?
Thanks to anyone for his help

Hi,
I'm facing the same problem but haven't found a solution yet... :'(
In you inbox screen tap menu in the bottom right and then extra. There should be an option manage folders i think. I dont know exactly because my phone is not english. It is the second option in the extra menu. You can just check the boxes of the folders you want synchronized.
yes its called manage folders
thanks a lot
also, not sure if it interests you or if it even answers the issue but hotmail's mobile website looks fantastic on the Opera browser...
My main email is on AOL and I've just ditched the buggy email client for AOL's wap portal...
give it a try!

Mail from subfolders in touchflo

Hello,
I have 2 questions:
1.
I have a lot of email in subfolders and i was wondering if it is possible to get the mail from that subfolders visible by the contact (in touchflo) who mailed me.
Now only mail that is in my inbox will be by the contact, mail from my contacts that are in subfolders are not displayed.
An example of the screen where i want the mail from the subfolders (and inbox) to be seen:
http://www.pocketnow.com/html/portal/reviews/0000001139/review/pc_capture55.jpg
2.
Is there a posibility that i get an "new message" notification, when i get mail in one of my subfolders?
For as far as i can find with the search tool there is no solution for this, or do i missed something?
Anyone?...
no free solution yet. even M$ never plan to support the function.
btw, u may try this.
I sync with my mailserver and my mailserver automaticly moves mails to the specific folder
the program you suggest does the same, but then on my mobile.. that's not needed for me
I think that my second question will never be answered, but that my first question is touchflo specific, so maybe someone could tweak it?
*bump*....
i need such a solution too
Anyone?...
I had the same problem too. My mailserver automatically distrubutes the mail to the proper subfolder, skipping the inbox.
Fortunately I was able to add an extra rule leaving a copy in the inbox. Now everything does come in. After I have read the message I simply delete it since it is also stored in a subfolder. When I need to check it again I go to the subfolder where it is still unread.
I have the same problem. mail is synced with exchange server. mail is ordered in subfolders on the exchange server.
now on the contact - mail page (see first post) only the mails in the "INbox" are shown and not the mails in the subfolders.
Does anyone have a solution for this?
thanks
No to be dense but have you tried
From the Inbox, select Tools->Manage Folders and make sure there folders are selected? I also believe it is a limitation to only get a alert for "InBox" and not the other folders. Must also be Exchange 2007 on server...

That's allready done but you don't get a notification then
AND mail in subfolders is not displayed by the contact. only mail from the inbox is... and that's the problem

Have you tried to contact with HTC support? Maybe they can suggest something about it. If you haven't maybe I will, because I also need this feature
So I did, and here is a reply from HTC support:
"there are no plans to change the way that touchflo works in this situation, or at least, no plans that anyone here is aware of. Touchflo is designed to give you quick access to your inbox, not the entire email program. it therefore only checks your inbox. To check your subfolders you need to go to the messaging program and view them there. best regards, HTC Europe Support"

hmm
now maybe wait till the XDA developers find a solution would be nice!
Or maybe more people should bother HTC support so they know it is a feature a lot of people want.
If enough people request it, they may put it on their featurelist.

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??!?? ; ;
