"All people" button

First of all I am using manila 2.5. When you slide to contacts a button appears saying "all people". When clicking on this button you abviously open the contacts manager, but it is the old (or windows) manager. The new contacts manager however is not only nicer, but gives you all the options back to send mails from a contact card even if you have installed the SMS patch. Because of the SMS patch you don't have this option any more in the old contacts manager.
My question now is how can I make sure that the "all people" button opens the new contacts manager?
Thanks in advance

What SMS patch are you using? I used this one here, and it did not affect my contacts list. Make sure you follow all 4 of the manual steps described in that post (not just step 3). If you tried something else, then uninstall it, soft-reset and try my link.

Hi Chris,
I am using this patch and BTW the cab file 1.2 does everything what the manual settings do, but you can't click in a contact card to send a SMS, mails work, not SMS. I have discuseed this already with the author and he knows that it doesn't work.
Anyway, this is not a solution for my qustion. The new manila 2.5.1920xx has a great new contacts manager and I want to use it everywhere I can, because it is not affected by zenyee's SMS patch, it looks nicer. But apaart from making a shortcut I don't see how I can use it as a softkey in in the home screen or in the contacts (people) tab.

I'm confused about what you wrote (the bold part I highlighted). What do you mean it is "not" affected? I thought you said it is affected - i.e. the "send message" part of a contact card doesn't work. Am I just totally misunderstanding you?
In any case, you can change the left softkey in the home tab to open the Manila contacts list instead of it bringing up the phone pad. All it is is registry entries that need to be changed. But, if you have the sms patch installed, I assume you'll continue to have the same problem.
Let me know if you want to change the left softkey in the home tab anyway. I made a cab for it so that I wouldn't have to manually make all the changes every time I hard reset my phone to factory defaults.
EDIT:
Here is the cab that will make those registry changes for you.

This is the ALL PEOPLE Reg Value, restore it using any Registry editor

Let me explain what I mean using the two screen shots: one from the classic contacts manager, the other from the HTC contacts manager. If you apply the SMS patch and open a contact and click on "send message", nothing will happen. If you use the other contacts manager, you can open a contact and click on send message and it will open the windows messaging service.
Look at the answer from zenkinz, see [Tweak/App] Disabling HTC Messaging in manila 2.5 (version 1.2 Updated on 29th Sep), page 17
zenkinz said:
yes the send message from the contact will not work. It's due to a service I've disabled, and if I don't disable it, you'll not be able to send the SMS from the winmo app, so it's a catch 22 situation. I'm trying to work on a fix for that, but it's going to be tough.

Now what I was looking for is to replace the contacts manager in the contacts (people) tab. If you click now on "all people" it will open the "old" windows contacts manager, I would like that the new and better (and nicer) contacts manager would be opened.
Thanks anyway for the suggestion, but I don't want to replace the left soft key on the home screen.

Okay, so you want to keep the sms patch installed, but you want the "all people" softkey in the contacts tab to open the new Manila contacts list? And how do you then plan to open the WM contact list so that you can use the "send message" option in a contact? Do you plan on having a home tab quick link to WM contacts? I guess that would work.
I don't know where the settings are to the left softkey of the contacts tab and I don't know if that particular option is available in the registry just like it is for the home tab softkeys. I also looked into adding a quick link in the home tab, but I can't get it to open the manila contacts (only the WM contacts).
Sooo.... I think I'm out of ideas. Maybe you'll consider changing the left softkey in the home tab as you mentioned at the end of your second post (that's why I mentioned it as an option in the first place ). I don't know what you currently have set for that, but if it is still the "phone" then you can always access that by using a hardware key on the HD. Or maybe you have something in that softkey that you can place in a quick link instead.

Gmail configuration Help

Hallo,
I have setup a Gmail account. I can send/receive emails.
I would like to have a copy of sent emails saved on the phone.
After sending the email, it disappear from the outgoing mail folder, but a copy is not saved in the sent email folder.
Any clues ?
I'have already checked the "save a copy of messages in sent email" but doesn't work.
Thanks

1. Open to your Gmail inbox
2. Menu > Tools > Manage folders
3. Check "Sent Items" folder

Probably my email client is different, because in the menu options I can't find the tools tab or equivalent.
many thanks anyway

I think you may still be looking at HTC interface for your e-mail, not the WM one that has the menu options you need.
Once you go to the "Mail" tab in touchflo/sense, you have to hit the "Inbox" button first, that will take you to the WM e-mail interface...THEN hit the "Menu" button in the bottom right, then hit the little arrow at the bottom of the list that pops up so you can see the rest of the options, then you'll be able to get to tools>manage folders

did you scroll through the page when you hit the menu button? Tools tab is located @ the bottom of the page & won't show unless you scroll through the page.

That's the solution many thanks

[Q] How to rename email accounts

Good afternoon everyone,
I just ugraded my Samsung Wave I to Bada 2.0 and like I said in the topic title I would like to rename some email accounts I added. In fact I used the "Other account" setting to add it and now all my accounts are named "My new account". I looked in the settings but I did not find out where can I solve my problem.
If you've got any ideas I will be happy to read it.
Thanks everyone.
I'm sorry of it's a noob's question but I really didn't find the answer.

hello
on you phone: home\setting\accounts: open a count at the left top you can see the setting icon, open and click on the user name .that's all

I already try that but it changes nothing, unfortunately.

Nobody knows ?

It is very simple.
Just do this :
Settings => Email => Email account => tap on "your email account" => tap on the setting button in the top left hand corner => change the settings of the account
That's it

All this is true what is written here, but you can only change the settings of the email account, not the name (account)!

[Q] Additional folders in stock eMail app?

Yes, I tried searching, but did not find anything specific to my question.
Basically, is there a way to add a folder to the stock email app? I would like to be able to move emails into a "Save" folder, instead of leaving them in my inbox, but I do not see any way to add/create a new folder.
I'm using all my email accts (yahoo, gmail, live, outlook.com) in Pop3.
thanks.

What you will need to do is create the folder in the email itself in a browser. Once that's done go to the email app on the phone and tap the inbox name at the top. it will give you a drop down of options, the last one should be show all folders and your new folder should be there (not required, but if you wanted to check). When you check mark an email and choose to move it, it will list all the folders available, if you don't see it just scroll and you will find it...

thanks for the reply... no go though... no additional yahoo folder showed up.. i have one in yahoo called "save"

If I am not mistaken the only way to have other folders is to use IMAP or Exchange POP does not allow for it.

You can create folders for each account, you just can't create a folder while using the combined view.
To the left of create an email it should say which inbox you are viewing. If it says combined tap it. A list will appear. Then select the account you wish to create a new folder in. (Let's say gmail) once in gmail inbox tap your menu button. (To the left of the home button). Select folders. This will show you your current gmail folders. At the top right will be a + sign. Tap that and add your folder.
You have to do that for each account. You can't move emails from different accounts into one generic folder. I have yahoo, gmail and my apple account. I can't select emails from all of those accounts and move them to one folder called personal. I have to create a personal folder for each account and move the emails from each account into its own 'personal' folder.
Hope that makes sense or helped.

Thanks for the help but it still doesn't work for me. I'm using the stock att email app from the clean rom roms.
As you can see in the screen shots, there's no plus button to add a new folder

I'd ask scott (from scottsroms) he is the developer for clean rom and shoupd be able to help.
If you were on the stock rom in the second screenshot there would be a + sign for adding folders.
I didn't realize you weren't on stock firmware. Sorry.

You are welcome. If you can set those mail boxes up AS IMAP or Exchange you will be able to add folders but not the POP accounts. At least I cannot add folders to POP accounts.
