non-outlook email problem

Hi,
Is anyone having any problems with viewing email synchronised from non-outlook sources? We use websphere everyplace client at work, and everything syncs fine, however when you click on the message header within "messaging" you get a blank (white) screen. I cannot view any detail at all from the messages, and have spent the last 2 days mucking about with various settings (Changing the inbox options to get full copy of messages etc) to no avail. I am currently working back on WM2005 with no problems, but would love to go back to black!
Any assistance would be fantastic.
Cheers,
Rob

rvaker, not sure what you mean, but kind of similar problem I have now too. I also get the "blank screen" but the thing is that the program scrolls down by itself the message, thus you see only white screen. If you see the scroll bar, scroll back up. I've got confused first time too, and thought it's not working. But at the moment, I don't know how to fix this and have the message on top right away without scrolling.

non outlook email reading and writng problem
Hi there.
I have same problem as well. With help of scrolling buttons I can read my email, however there is no opportunity to write new email or reply emails (white screen appear to screen).
How we can solve this problem? I am using vodafone push-email services.

I had a problem like this. My SMS and emails would always scroll down the screen when i opened them and had to use the bar to scroll back up to read it. Only thing i changed when this started happening was a reg change to navigation in IE and when i undid the change, it was fine again.
The change i made can be found in the wiki:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=WM5_Tweaks_Other
About half way down under the Pocket IE (PIE) section. Its the one to Navigate PIE up/down with the four-way pad.
May be worth having a look at your registry and undoing this change if its been made!

Thanks very much, JamesAub and GuzuGuzu. I'll re-flash black tonight (my time!) and give it a go!

Setting up Calendar/Today to show multiple days of appointments

A couple of weeks ago I upgraded my 8525 to WM6 with the official AT&T ROM. During this process I remember setting up the Today screen to show three days of appointments and also what the format should be (I set it up for each appointment to say Today, Tomorrow, etc. I think the other option(s) was to display the date in various ways). My phone
now shows appointments for the following three days and says Today, Tomorrow, Sunday, etc. for the day.
I wanted to play with these settings but I can't seem to find any menu that will let me change what is set up. I'm pretty sure I did this during the initil setup right after loading the new AT&T WM6 ROM. Does anyone know where these settings can be changed? I don't want to do a hard reset and lose everything else I have loaded on the phone. I'm wiilling to hack the registry if needed.

Are you using TodayAgenda plugin? The configurator is in \Program Files\TodayAgenda\TAOptions.exe, or alternatively tap and hold anywhere on the today plugin until the options menu comes up, and then goto options.

Thanks for the pointer, but I am using the stock AT&T ROM, no extra plug-ins. If I click on an appointment and go into the Calendar, Tools -> Options doesn't have any settings for appearance or how many days to display. Start -> Settings -> Today -> Items doesn't provide many options for Calendar either.
I looked at the registry under HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Calendar" and just ...Microsoft\Calendar but I didn't find anything obvious that I could change. Maybe some of the other flags there determine how this works but I didn't want to risk ruining my setup so that's why I'm asking here.
Thanks!

go to Settings > Today > Items, click on the calendar plugin, then click on the options button. Can you adjust it from here?
Alternatively, you can try Calendar+, its a free today plugin with more display options than the default calendar plugin
http://www.mohairsofa.com/Default.aspx/document/10

The settings for the Calendar item under the Today Plug-In don't include anything to change the number of days displayed.
I'm trying to keep the number of add-ins to a minimum. I had Calendar+ with WM5, but it didn't seem to work right with WM6. I can't remember exactly what issue I had, but I ended up doing a hard reset. The last update to this software was over a year ago.
I know the functionality is there in the stock software. If only I could figure out how to control it!

email being hidden/deleted after X days??

Hey, my boss and I just got the Rhodium and I am in charge of setting everything up to his wishes. However, we seemed to have run into something strange: the email on his phone seems to be hidden or deleted after a certain amount of days.
He is connecting using IMAP and all the mail is still on the server, but this morning his phone seemed to have hidden/deleted all mail from 3 days ago and before.
I can't find anything relating to these settings in the phone, can anyone help me with this problem?

You will need to alter the settings which can/should be found as:
Go to the email screen where you would read your mail. While there go through the following options:
Menu -> Tools -> Options -> [select the required account] -> send recieve schedule
From there the option is available in a drop down menu.
Hope that will work.

they aren't hidden, but deleted. But it's just a copy. the idea is that you don't need all the emails, only the recent on on your phone. it could (if you work with a lot of attachments) fill your memmory.
But waht music art1st said, you can said you want the email from the past 3 weeks or some other period.

Thanks a lot, I managed to find the settings now. I was a bit confused because the phone is in Dutch and I am only really used to running all my OS's in English so things were a bit difficult to find.
What you said worked perfectly though!

i had the same problem, and the solution was changing my configuration to IMAP not POP

emails
may be some one had this problem as well:
When you receive an Outlook e-mail message that was sent by using a russian version of Windows mobile, the name that appears in the From field may not appear correctly.
Email is ik, i read all and topick appears ok, but person name and address are shows like lots of letters: "njdnfjdnjfnd" if i press on it them it will show me the address.
On TP1 i didnt have this problem. but in TP2 i have it and i dont know how to fix it.
Thank you for help in advance.

Settings don't stick

I keep having to reset my phone preferences (such as my ring- I only want it to ring once) but it keeps resetting the settings to the default for the phone.
Is anyone else having this happen on their Sprint TP2?

***bump***

are you changing your ring settings through the touch flo 3d shell (settings>sound) or going through the traditional windows mobile settings (settings>sounds & notifications)?
My ring settings stick for both methods (or my phone says). I don't get calls enough for me to notice if settings stick.
maybe your ringtone is very long, so it sounds like it's ringing more then once?
I do experience a setting that I want to stick but doesn't. when you open phone, you choose menu > view. Default is "calls and contacts" but I only want "all calls". I can choose it and it'll filter, but when I close phone and reopen, it'll reset to "calls and contacts". =/

Thanks, Tone.
The ring is not long- it's an old fashioned phone ringer. The actual setting changes fron "Ring once" to "Ring."
I am setting it under the options on the dialer screen. I haave also gone through "Settings"; makes no difference.

So I recently hard reset my phone due to some other issues, but I tested if your problem again, and the settings are still fine on my end.
Out of curiosity, do you know what Manila version you have (along with what phone version)?
Mine is Sprint, Manila version 2.1.38416.1.
You can find the manila version with Reg Edit and go to "
HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila"
String Value "Version" tells you the Manila version.
If you don't have reg edit, or don't know how to do it, that's ok, just phone version should be enough. I've been discovering from customizing my phone and researching on XDA, that Manila may have different bugs depending on what Manila version you have (and most likely a different Manila version is attached with different carriers).

Same Manila version.
Has been hard reset twice, but the problem persists...

oh boo, that sucks. if you have a phone replacement/repair plan with sprint, I say go to them and tell them the issue. I always ***** at sprint with whatever problem that can't be solved. it's a defect in the software/hardware and if you have the replacement/repair plan, they won't charge anything for repairs. and if they can't repair it themselves, they'll send out a request for a 'new' phone replacement. sometimes its brand new, sometimes its refurbished. depends what they have in stock.

I can not get my phone to filter contacts by just device contacts it always defaults back to all contacts making me have dupes. Anyone else have this or know how to make the setting stick?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
this is what I do (if you have contacts on your sim).
enter phone app (call button).
press "contacts" (left soft key) to open contacts (manila shell).
press "menu" (right soft key).
choose "view".
listed is "all", "contacts" and "sim". choose "contacts" to list only device stored contacts.
settings stick for me. but I don't have contacts on my sim card to verify. however, the setting itself doesn't change back.
if you go to contacts (windows app version), I believe you can't do this, because there is no option for it.
this is one reason why I think manila is kind of retarded. it just covers up windows mobile, but there are still multiple front ends / GUI for the same things.

no real help, but i set my phone to ring and vibrate, and every now and then it reverts to just ring!!!

I was having the same problem until I noticed
the Single Volume control. It is above the Phone
controls on the settings panel. I turned it off
and now the phone ring settings stay the way I
set them.

it's a known issue for Sprint TP2's. it will be fixed with ROM update to WM6.5. in the meantime, check out this thread http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=83378&highlight=jfrancisny&page=4. Post #36 fixed it for me.

1 new text message

I have tried to find the text message that it says is new, but i cant, is there a way to find it, or a way in the registry to make it say i have no new messages?

if you search you'll find a fix since there's a thread about this already.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1519862

i searched but apparently with the wrong keywords, sorry

i wasn't trying to be mean.

The fix is less complicated than the thread referred to above (unless this issue is different from the one I had). There is a welcome message from Microsoft in the text messages, but for some reason TouchFLO won't open the message.
Disable TouchFLO by going to Start>Settings>Today, select the Items tab, and uncheck TouchFLO 3D. Check the "Messaging" Item. Touch FLO will be disabled, giving you the normal Windows 6.5 Today screen. Navigate to messages, and you should see the text message there. Delete, and you should be all set. Reload TouchFLO.
This was driving me crazy too, until I stumbled upon in on accident (jut wanted to see what the normal Titanium Today screen looked like).
