unable to dl attachments from my yahoo account via the mail app, it says attachement missing would you like to download, i say yes the timer spins a bit then puts an ! on the icon, if i click it again it says same thing attachment missing i tried on wifi and 3g anyone know what the prob is ??
Hi, sorry to jump on your bandwagon but I have a similar problem.
Have one pop3 account and a hotmail account configured and when I go to download the whole message, including attachments, I can't see or save any attachments. Just get a white mail with not much else apart from the text.
Is there a tick in a box Ive missed?
Cheers
Another bandwagon jumper here...
I find I can receive certain kinds of attachments. PDFs are no problem, but I receive daily reports compressed as tar.gz files and mail offers to download them but doesn't - just as you described above.
Does anyone else see this?

Well, I am sure that some people out there might have a similar issue with their device. I have finally been able to setup my e-mail accounts to work properly. I have it turned on to connect to "The Internet" (Wi-Fi on the Dash) every 15 minutes to check for new email. However, when I have the Wi-Fi feature turned off, it won't do it; which is what I want it to do. But when I have it connected to the laptop via USB to charge, it checks for the e-mail. This is pointless as I am already receiving the e-mails on my laptop.
Is there a way that I can have it not use the USB to check for e-mails? I heard in another forum that I can set ActiveSync to "Work" which might resolve the problem. Anyone know how I can do that?
Finally, if that doesn't work, what e-mail applications do you guys recommend? I have my Outlook on my laptop setup so that I receive e-mails from both my account into a single Inbox and I have the option of choosing what account I want to send from. Something like that for the Q/Dash would be very useful.
Oh, and one more thing. Is there a way to have the Q/Dash delete the messages from the server when deleting from the handheld? I would like to be able to filter my messages when receiving them on the handheld so that I don't have to re-read them on my laptop when I get home. If there isn't a setting for it, is there a program that offers this option?
Thanks in advance...
Deleting messages from server
I'm assuming you're using POP and not IMAP to check your messages on your Dash. If so, this is what I do to delete messages on the server:
1. Download messages onto Dash (of course)
2. Delete messages on Dash
3. Empty the Deleted Items folder on Dash
4. Send/Receive messages.
This has the effect of removing the deleted messages from the server. Of course, you must also delete them on the Dash -- so I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for. Another option is to use IMAP...but my email server doesn't support it so I'm using POP.
Hope that helps!

Move to Microsoft Exchange you will get Direct Push to your device and will not have to worry ever about e-mail synchronization issues
How would I move to Microsoft Exchange? Can you be a little more specific?
If your school or office doesn't offer it, this is for personal use -- you'll need a hosted Exchange service. There are a lot out there, google 'hosted exchange', or, take a look at the best, http://4smartphone.net

Anyone know how to change ActiveSync to "Work" instead of "The Internet"?
Change the sync directories.
Can you explain how. I'm really ignorant when it comes to these things.
Don't remember exactly, I found it in the help files, or the manual -- one or the other -- take a look.

If you want a free hosted exchange service that does push email and 1 Gb of storage will suffice, you could also try Mail2Web:
https://services.mail2web.com/signup/mail2weblive/mail2webLive_01.asp
Looks good -- just curious though, I noticed the free version is for use with the @mail2web email address format -- can you pay and use your own domain name. That's how 4smartphone.net works, but I couldn't find info on it at the mail2web site.

- not sure, but not a bad trade-off for free, right ?
Call me part of the ingnorant bunch too, but how can I configure POP on my DASH?
I connect through Wifi all the time. When I got to configure "Email Setup" and put my info in, is says contacting server please wait and nothing happens. It tries for a few minutes and then craps out and say it could not connect? But I can browse the web, can view my mail though my web mail accounts and can view my Yahoo account.
Please some advise on this.
you are part of the ignoran bunch! ;P
Hi,
Im havin problems syncing my hotmail account through the windows live program - it syncs contacts and the inbox perfectly and get all the info - but it does not sync all my other folders.
I like to put my emails into different folder (e.g. University, Ebay, Play.com, Family etc etc) so I keep myself organised. The thing is if I want a file that a friend sent me two weeks ago and I put it in the University folder I cannot get to it and would have to transfer it before hand from my pc to my inbox. (ie the mails inside my other folder are not being synced)
Is there any way I can solve this? Maybe some setting I missed or an update to WMLive that fixes this?
Thanks to anyone for his help

Hi,
I'm facing the same problem but haven't found a solution yet... :'(
In you inbox screen tap menu in the bottom right and then extra. There should be an option manage folders i think. I dont know exactly because my phone is not english. It is the second option in the extra menu. You can just check the boxes of the folders you want synchronized.
yes its called manage folders
thanks a lot
also, not sure if it interests you or if it even answers the issue but hotmail's mobile website looks fantastic on the Opera browser...
My main email is on AOL and I've just ditched the buggy email client for AOL's wap portal...
give it a try!
Hi all
I've a problem with my integrated facebook applikation from HTC. It shows me every time an "Connection failed"-Error message when i'll login. This Problem occurs with WI-FI and Edge.

I have the exact same problem, I would appreciate a solution
i know this doesn't fix your problem but just to confirm I have no issues on my TP2 so it must be a connection config problem.
Have you gone to settings>connections>connections>advanced and selected the proper networks?
Facebook
Thanks but i have no conection issue I have push mail working fine and RSS hub also updating. i tried over wifi 3g gprs everythingworks exept facebook
Same problem here.
Mail, rss, weather, browser work. Facebook app doesn't.
Using a Dutch ROM
i have noticed it has not downloaded the images of all my friends... now irrespective of the fact that it updates status msgs, photos are not downloaded for all.... it pulls some photos of friends down at times.... any way i can sync all the photos too?
ok... let me just answer my own question...
simply delink any one contact and re click link the contact with FB.... this brings the link profiles page up... wait there for sometime till the application downloads all the photos.... that's it... u r done!

I am having the same problem. Got my TP2 today and can't get the Facebook Application or Microsoft MyPhone to communicate. I have the network connections all set correctly and everything preinstalled works fine.
Did someone mention you should untick the proxy server setting??
Anyone find a solution to this yet??? I'm having the same problem.. Thanks!
Don't know if it is a coincidence but after I removed/disabled my facebook login data from Skyfire I didn't get a connection error anymore. I granted Skyfire to be logged in even after closing it and maybe then facebook is locked for other apps.
Solution
I found a solution for my problem with the facebook-connection. It seems the application can't handle my password. It contains the folowing symbols: "?&".
I changed my facebook password to letters & numbers only and now it works.
I found another problem. I have tried this a few times and even did a hard reset to my device.
The facebook Update and Events function crashes Manila.exe everytime if you have 63 contacts linked to facebook contacts. It won't crash it if you have 62 or 64 links but only 63.
To replicate this, all you need to do is:
1. Have 63 contacts linked to facebook profiles.
2. Click update now from People->All People->3rd Tab(person with a clock)->Menu->Update Now.
It will tries to update but it will fail and crash. I had to delete one of my links so it won't crash anymore. More over, I added more links to test if it can't handle more than 62 links but it can.
Really don't understand why it can't handle the number 63. It really pisses me off now that I have to remove a link or I have to find a friend that I can link to on facebook.
Anyway, I thought I will share this with you guys, just in case yours crashes because you have 63 links.
"Facebook Login failed"-Problem solved.
You have to change your Facebook login password to a easier one. It's seems to be a problem, if you use special chars. +:%>)*/+=^ etc. in your password.
Just a question about this: does anybody knows if the application erases existing picstures with the facebook ones ?
I have pics for soem of my friends who are also on facebook and want to keep the oens I have at the moment on my outlook... And dont anna run the risk of running the sync and losing them
Does the app propose to keep the existing ones selectively ?
Hi
I hadn't had any pictures in my Outlook contacts, but the HTC Facebookapp replaced my Windows Live contact images in my adressbook.
Hi All,
Say, if i do emails on my tp2, i send the email out and forget to bcc me, i forward the email to myself separately. I only get my signature without the full contents. Wondering if this is normal??
Is there any way we can configure the client or alternate programs to like pull emails like from 9am to 6pm instead?
Kinda like Nokia's default email client on e71s, i can choose when and how to download emails. And at the same time have an option to automatically send me a copy of the emails.
Thanks alot in advance or sorry if this is a stupid question..
EDIT: Is this a known thingy? Will wm 6.5 be addressing this issue?
1. When I forward mails, the entire message is included. I can think of 2 reasons why this isn't working for you.
a. You use Windows Live email (ie Hotmail) and you didn't toggle on the setting in Windows Live to include original message when replying/forwarding.
b. You've only set to download the email headers. You need to download the full message from the server before forwarding to include the whole message.
2. You can schedule your email push/pull between specific times of the day only if you use Windows Live or Exchange.
I know many people like to bcc themselves on all emails but you can just check the Sent folder as an alternative. I guess it's just a matter of preference...
My work email is primative pop3/smtp.. I'm using the default messaging on the htc touchflo3d, not the windows live.
Hmm.. i'll try the down entire message thingy..
Hi,
Have tried to use download entire email messages... still the same.. when i forward the email out.. it goes until only my signature.. does not forward the entire message
anymore ideas??
I was wondering that perhaps it may be because you're connecting via POP3. But this doesn't appear to be the case. I just tested setting up my Gmail account via POP3 and I can forward messages just fine.
After you tap on "Forward", you should be taken to a compose screen where you type in your recipients. If you scroll down, do you see the original message in full?
thats the thing... i can see the whole email in full.. theres teh "edit original sender's message" thingy...
but when i actually click send.. it only send out the portion i typed.. -.-
I have sent my phone in for service b4, updated software, hard reset... all the same... maybe i'll try my gmail and update again..
What happens if you tap the part thatt enables you to edit the original message before you send?
same ; ;
10chars
tested with Gmail and yahoo... by configuration, both uses imap on the client..
tested with my other personal email from isp... think i found a pattern..
If i forward from inbox.. everything ok..
If i forward from sent items... only what i type is sent...
i didnt test on imap.. deleted my account.. anyone got any observations??
any help??!?? ; ;
The touchwiz email app when it checks for and downloads emails to my phone they are shown as read when I log into mail.yahoo.com on my laptop. I can't find any setting to change this. NB I haven't even read them on the phone either (and this is shown correctly as unread on the phone) but they show up as read on the main server anyway. Any ideas how to fix this?
Nobody? Come on this should be an easy one for you guys. Someone please help?

From the yahoo support mail help
Its gotta be the app itself doing it.. Have you tried K-9 Mail or something different to see if the problem persists? I don't see any settings in the stock email app that could fix this problem..
