Live messenger contact login sounds?

Long time daily viewer first time poster!
Question is; The new live messenger does not seem to have any sounds for contacts logging in, now i remember on my t-mobile wizard there was a registry hack which i think was a cab file that added the option in sound settings to change the login and type sounds pocket msn wm5....
However now using a Hermes running wm6 im wondering if the same thing maybe applicable using live messenger, is this not possible with the way the new messenger works. It would be nice to know when a new contact comes online, if your waiting for someone..
Not much about this anywhere but not much demand i guess? seems strange though to remove it.
I have not found the cab file i originally used to see if any registry keys may setup sounds but i guess live messenger is very different to pocket msn.

reg hack attached
wlm doesn't look or use this anymore
appears in sounds n notifications, but doesn't get activated or used.
yes I wud like the feature also.
I previously posted but got zero response...

msn contacts in normal contactlist?

hey there fellas!
somehow, i've managed to get my msn contacts in my normal contactlist.
this makes my contactslist very unstructured, because between the nromal names i got names like jack_23 or sweetjane. that sort of names.
i've tried to delete them manually, but they keep coming back.
i think its because i keep my phone synchronised with my computer?
i really dont know how to fix this and i hope u guys could help.
regards,
kay

I did this by accident too, and they just won't disappear after I delete them. Any ideas guys, on how to get rid of them?

you need to clear your windows live setup and start again
open Windows Live
menu > account options
select switch windows live id
then setup windows live again with your windows live id and this time do not select "store windows live contacts in your mobile phone's contact list"

OK thanks Mesquire, will try it out now to see if it works!
PS : Mighty fine looking lady in your Avatar! (=

Ok, re-did the windows live setup and everything, and it works a treat! Thanks for the tip mesquire!

it works for me too!
thanks a lot

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.

Mail Deletion Question on TF3D

Ok, just a quick question as not sure if its something I'm doing (or not doing) or if a hack is the way to go
Phone = TP2
On the "Mail" screen of the TP2 interface you have the envelope and your mails you can see which you can 'flick' through. To open you tap on the mail you want. Seems simple enough
However, I'm wondering is there a way you can DELETE an email as your flicking through them without having to open the mail up (by tapping on it) then going to the "Menu" and choosing delete there.
Sometimes you can see (e.g Junk Mail) an email in the TF3D interface in the fancy 'envelope' and just want to ditch it there and then. Anyone know if thats possible?
Many thanks
Andy

This has been asked before. In this forum and I've also had the same issue on my Raphael. I still haven't seen a solution unfortunately, Would be great as I receive a spam mail every 30 minutes or so and I'd like to delete them quickly ...

Damn it. ok, well you never know I guess, someone may find a solution.
If anyone has an ideas, it would be greatly appreciated
Cheers
Andy

I know ... I've been cursing on this for around 1.5 years now ... You just have to live with it I guess ...

[Q] email deleting...

Is there a setting Im not seeing that allows emails to actually be deleted and not just from my phone?
My continuum would do it but when I delete emails on my Incredible then go to my email on my computer the emails are still there. I would like to have it so when I delete on my phone they are gone permanently. Thanks
btw... phone is fully stock

If your using the HTC mail client, delete the account and then recreate it: Mail>Other>Manual Setup>under "Protocol" select "Imap." What you are describing sounds like you set your email as "POP."

Thanks! that worked, just didnt know exactly what to search for. All my searches ended up just being same question as mine with no answers.
for anyone else searching for this, this is how its set up...
