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.

for some reason all my msn messenger contacts were copied to my phone contacts, and its real annoying! anybody know how to take them off?
also, when i dial a number, and then press save, then new contact, it only gives me 2 choices: outlook contact or windows live
wth?? i just want to save this number on my phone.... how would i go about doing that?? thanks
omar
Hey Omar,
Welcome to WM6 . When you want to save a contact like that, just make it an outlook contact, that's the option you want to use. As for having your Messenger contacts merged with your regular ones, I like that feature about as much as you do. Once you sign into messenger your messenger contacts are copied down and merged with the rest. I don't really have a solution, just wanted to explain why it's doing what its doing.... it's a feature of WM6.
Bump.
Have the same issue and seeing if anyone has found a reg entry that this can be disabled.
Annoys the hell out of me. I have 150 msn messenger contacts and hate having them in my contacts on my phone. I think its really stupid for Microsoft to force us have them in there, i wish they'd give us a choice to add or not. Blahh
i use web version of msn messenger now.
http://mobile.live.com/GoLive/ got here for more info
This really sucks!!! Yesterday I updated to WM6 and now I'm really pissed off. There is no way to get back before synch? mmmmg

They DO give you an option, last I remember. And I'm pretty sure this was part of WM5 too. When you first use Messenger, I believe it asks you if you wish to merge the two items. I find it a little annoying (I end up with multiple listings for people, IE: Phil vs. Phillip), and I agree, there ought to be a way to disable it.
Delete all contacts

Look at the "Updated Windows Live Messenger (Messenger Contacts Adding to Phone Book Fix)" part in the 1st post, that's the file you need to disable automated MSN contact book update.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!
I read about 6.1's ability to use 'find as you type' contact searching in SMS land. As in, I type 'ty' in the TO: field, and 'Tyler Smith' comes up without having to go into the contact list to find it. Anyone know how to enable this functionality?
xT9 is autocomplete compatible. alt + space will get you where you need to go. It's pointless IMHO if you have a complete keyboard.
If you can't type Tyl and scroll to the hundreds of friends you have named Tyler then it's time for your friends to change there names.
I am not looking for autocomplete for words, I'm looking for it for contacts. When I type in the name field, I get word matches, not contact matches. So, if I type 'Ty', it suggests 'Tyler' as a word, but not as a link to anyone in my contacts list.
When one clicks on Contacts in WM 6 or a cooked 6.1, I personally have always been able to type say I'm looking for a girl named Sarah. I type s....a.....r....
It gives me a list of girls I know of Sara or Sarah.
I scroll down to either one I want to call.
If you are trying to do something else??? I don't understand
I'm talking about doing this from a new SMS compose window. I read that 6.1 allows you to use this kind of search within an SMS window, without leaving the TO field.

This is what he's talking about but regarding TEXT messages. Currently, making phone calls works fine like this, but when composing an SMS/MMS, you have to add a recipient the long way...
when you are adding a contact, in the To: field. Center click and your contacts will appear, proceed typing a couple of letters and pick the contact.
If you want multiple contacts, repeat the process.
I know right....

This is one of the features that was anticipated for 6.1, "look up contacts in messaging just like windows mobile professional". But I can't get it to work either. I have no idea what is up. kinda pisses me off actually
Is it possible (with a tweak) that i can directly remove an email without opening it first?
So i see a preview of the mail in the 'enveloppe', i want to delete it direct.
Thanks in advance.

Another small question: When i see the list of emails in an account i want to delete more then one email at the same time. If i want to select more emails the list shift up or down instead of selectig more then one email. Anyone have a solution?

Daniel, I found the answer to your question within 30 seconds by using the search function and searching for 'select multiple emails'. Please use the search feature and research before asking.
Your answer is in this thread -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3002018
Take care

Thanks for your help.
Do you have an answer for the first question to?

I don't think it's possible to delete messages/email from tf3d. The only way I know to delete a message without actually opening is to bring up messaging, highlight the message (You can bring up the software keyboard and use the arrow buttons to move the highliter up and down), then use the left softkey to remove it.

Hi,
I wonder if anybody knows of a good application/tool that allows you to search all your SMS messages for certain text/content? I have tried using the search tool on these forums but looking for the word 'search' is not very helpful.
Thanks
Mark
there is no need for a tool, when you are in your sms inbox just bring up the keyboard and type what you are looking for this feature has been around for a while in winmo. give it try i think that is what you are looking for.
Thanks for that, exactly what I needed. I had no idea that feature existed
Yes, I have researched this. I can get the unversalsearch apk and get it to work on my Note but then it disables or over rides the Google Now search and cards which I like.
Is there anyway to get google now to do a universal search? or have the option of both? Another reason for apple to suck it....as I type from my Macbook
I am mainly interested in the search feature working like it used to where it searches emails, texts, music, etc
Thanks for any help.

I dont think google now currently works quite like the old way the goolge search did. Although I agree, I'd like to have both if possible.

If you want google search to search what emails, texts, music etc.. do the following:
1. Press on the search bar (this will take you to the google now/search screen)
2. Press the menu button
3. Settings
4. Phone Search
from there choose what you want the phone to search for.
It will be nice when you can have it use multiple accounts. I don't like having to duplicate events and forward emails just so gn will find out everything I'm doing

thanks for the reply. Unfortunately the only option I have to search emails is using the stock email app. I use gmail. There is also no setting for searching texts
