Does anyone know of a quick way to achieve the following: I have a PAYG 3G contract, so I have Outlook set to download only message headers when I do a send/receive. I then download full messages selectively, to minimise my downloads.
What I want is to set up a 1-click way of configuring Outlook to download full message content (or at least the first 250k) but only when I'm tethered to a desktop. I then want a 1-click method of reverting back to "download headers only" when I disconnect from the desktop.
Can anyone think of a way of doing this?
you need to find the registry setting, then make one reg file for setting it to "high" and one to "low"

Hi
How can I do this??? The message has been fully downloaded, and I can see the attatchments' icons below the message but... tapping the jpg has no effect, nor does the save as dialogue?? Very annoying!
Any idea's? or is this yet another bug?
Nigel
Not just jpgs
Hi
Its not just .jpg files NO attatchments will open, even simple text or html files. Does the PPC messaging application actually support attatchments???
Nigel
If someone here CAN view attatchments to emails on their Blue Angel please post. If its possible then my unit must be screwed (hard reset time) but I would rather avoid wasting umpteen hours re-installing after a hard reset if it stands no chance of fixing the problem.
My device is the O2 XDA IIs

Hi There
do you have a little arrow next to each attachment??
are these attachments that are in the email folder that you have Active Sync'd across????
it sounds to me that you haven't set active sync to copy attachments............go to options, inbox, settings......down the bottom you get the chance to copy message attachments across upto a pre-determined size
if it's via pop3 dial / gprs tha tyou can't do it, then it's probably because you have created an account to download message body or headers only....just tap and hold on the appropriate email message and select 'mark for download'
of course, i may be in danger of teaching the proverbial egg sucking !!!
perhaps a hard reset is required....i have had no issues with jpg etc
Hi
This is a POP3 account and the full message has been downloaded, but clicking on the attatchments' icons that appear below the message text has no effect.
I can see the attatchments on the device through the file explorer, and the size is reasonable (though obviously this data is in a format only understood by the mail app). Looks like I will have to do a hard reset.
I have tried and then uninstalled a few apps - looks like on of them failed to leave the device as it found it when it was uninstalled.

My HTC Kaiser running WM6 syncs with my companies Exchange server. Thus, I have to have their security policy enforced on the phone. This includes the usual: PIN, timeout, autowipe after 10 failed passwords.
However, one of the registry settings (I haven't figured out which, yet) is causing one of my programs to have file access issues.
When I restore the registry from before the security policy, everything woks fine. Within minutes, when the phone connects to the Exchange server, the policy is again enforced and the issue returns.
What I need to do is automate a registry change (maybe in a .bat file), so when I want to run the program, I can quickly change that registry value and launch the program. (Running a registry editor and restoring an entire .reg backup and reboot is not very practical.)
Any ideas if this is possible?
Thanks,
David
you can use mortscript to do this.
works very well.
basically, you write the few lines mortscript and then call it with the wrapper .exe
did this to toggle a few things on my ultimate by means of a button click.
Thanks. I hadn't heard of MortScript.
My problem turned out to be Direct Push. Turning off Direct Push fixed the file access issue. I have no idea how Direct Push causes a program to stall when scanning a directory.
But I will use MortScript to write a batch file to turn off Direct Push and launch my program.
Problem solved.
Hi all,
I'm using WM6 on my backup device, the XDA Orbit and have a few annoying niggles. Can anyone advise on the below?
1) I have 2 hotmail accounts - one personal, one business. I would like to have visibility of both in my messages window. To my knowledge, I can only use one at a time and have to switch accounts via Windows Live each time I want to view emails. Is there a way you can have both?
2) I can't seem to syncronise the new folders on the POP3 account I have. Is there a way? It's an O2 account. When I create a new folder on the XDA, it doesn't show when I log in via webpage & vice versa.
3) I'd like to be able to edit the caller display when someone calls. When a contact information is filled out in detail (i.e company, job title etc.), some of the information appears on the incoming caller display bubble. Ideally I just want the name, number and photo. Possible? Fussy I know
4) In WM5, you used to be able to turn WIFI on AND off via the GPRS icon (next to the phone signal icon/speaker/clock). In WM6, it seems you can only turn it on. I know it's lazy as the Comms Manager in the 'System Tray' is only a few taps away but is there anyway to resurrect the WM5 functionality or provide a link to a 3rd party app/plugin?
5) And finally...I'd also like a bluetooth plugin on the system tray for quick access - any links?
Thanks in advance,
GW
Q1 - 2 live mail accounts can be done by setting up 2nd account as POP3 but apparently you need a yearly MSN subscription to be able to use this. Will just make do with the one account!
Q2 - Been advised to set the account type to IMAP4 to be able to sync new folders although this doesn't seem to work with an O2 email account. Can live without it though.
Q3,Q4,Q5 - Appreciate these will require registry changes - does anyone know what strings/values to edit?
Q1: I have my hotmail via a outlook plugin called httpmail. I guess it would work also with two hotmail accounts.
Here is a link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=225779
Thanks, will check it out.
re: Q2, I don't think the sync can be done on POP3 accounts. Under Messaging > Account i.e. O2 > Tools > Manage Folders, when you click & hold on the new folder that's been created the only options are 'New Folder', 'Delete' or 'Rename'. There is 'Folder Options' but it's greyed out. There are no tick boxes next to the folder like there is for syncing a folder in the Windows Live account.
I've given up on Q4 but I'd really like to fix Q3 if possible, surely just a small registry change required there...just a case of finding what to edit! Anyone help with this?
230 views - come on, who can rise to the challenge of finding a fix for me
Just to summarise question:
is there a way (registry, 3rd party app. etc.) you can edit the details on the incoming caller display bubble. For example, when the 'company' field data is entered on a phone contact, it shows under the name & number when someone calls. Ideally I just want the name, number and photo, no other info.
Is this possible?

My manager who thinks I'm a TP2 expert sent me this, could you guys help me out with what to tell him? Im new to the phone myself, but I wanna give him the right info. THANKS to any who answer any question. Much appreciated.
Questions:
1. I use Outlook Mail on my laptop to manage my emails from multiple accounts (Verizon, 2 Gmail, one Yahoo). I do not use it via an exchange server. It’s basically the place where I pull in all my emails and from which I send out emails.
However, as such, it has more than 4000 items, many of them with attachments.
I obviously do not want my phone to sync with Outlook Mail if it means my phone will end up trying to hold all those emails
However, I do want to be able to use my phone to access those accounts AND in some instances be able to retain on my phone a copy of select emails that I will want to have access to when I don’t have my laptop with me (e.g. hotel reservations, etc.).
At present, it seems I can only do that if I keep the email on the server at V, G or Y. But is there some way that I can:
a) keep the email on the phone, independent of whether or not it’s on the server;
b) copy the addresses, text and links from the email and store them in another document somewhere else on the phone so they can be referenced and used?
2. I use Outlook Calendar for my calendar, task management, etc.. And in that sense I would like to be able to sync with the phone, make calendar entries on the phone (i.e. after a phone call or text message) and then have that sync with outlook later, etc., etc. How can I do that?
3. I also want to synch and cross enter contacts – how?
7. I get a new email. But when I tap on it to read it, I get a message telling me the text will be available the next time I download; but sometimes even after I hit s/r again, it still won’t open. Sometimes, when I clock on it it shifts to reply mode and in some of those cases I can see the email that was sent but the text of which I couldn’t see before. In other cases, that still doesn’t work. If I click reply, same split results. Odd. In any event, if the email has arrived, shouldn’t one be able to view the text the first time one tries to open it?
11. Can I delete an email from my phone without it deleting the email from the server?
I want to keep it on the server, but I don’t want to clutter up my phone with the email

Code:
Yes, can sync with multiple pop/imap accounts
Can be set to download only last weeks or todays etc

a) keep the email on the phone, independent of whether or not it’s on the server;

Create a new sub folder in each accounts folder structure on the device and copy the mails for retention into these folders
b) copy the addresses, text and links from the email and store them in another document somewhere else on the phone so they can be referenced and used?
Code:
Copy and paste into word doc on the device

Only sync your calendar not your mail with activesync
Contacts will be merged between PDA and PC

Configure the mail app to download entire message including attachments, not just headers
11. Can I delete an email from my phone without it deleting the email from the server?
Code:
Again options in the settings for the mail app on the PDA
I want to keep it on the server, but I don’t want to clutter up my phone with the email

Advise you look into the detailed configs and get a better understanding of the settings available for mail on the PDA, all the features you want are available as standard.

Sorry to be dim, but I assume I need to change a setting, somewhere. Can anyone please tell me how I can stop messages I have deleted on my desktop popping up on my Desire five, or even ten, minutes later?
Thanks, in advance...
I'm guessing you are talking about emails here? if so, it depends on what type of account you have setup, eg. POP or IMAP.
POP will download each and every message to all mail clients (desktop and phone), unless you have either selected the option to 'delete messages on server' or manually go into the main mailbox and delete the message from there.
IMAP (if your mailbox supports it) is the best option if you view your messages using multiple devices- it keeps all the messages sync'd with each other.
If you're using Exchange then you may find you have cached exchange mode enabled which would cause a delay in the message being deleted from the server.
The option in Outlook 2007 would be found in :-
Tools > Account Settings
Select Exchange account and click change, there will be a check box that will allow you to enable\disable
